THE KEBTCHI EXPEDITION.

Yxxixanr, Saturday Morning, May 26.--At ﬁve o'clot:k last night, Sir Edmund Lyons retum- ed in the Banshee. enikale was set on ﬁre in two places yesterday, and it required all the exertions of the authorities to prevent the ﬂames a reading and devastating the whole place.

he houses are smashed o n, the furniture broken to pieces, and “ looting" and plunder- ing are the order or the disorder of the day. Two of the 42nd Highlanders, who were in a crowd which was assembled round a house yes- terday, were shot in a very extraordinary man- ner. A French soldier struck at the closed door, 10 break it'with the butt of his musket. The con oussion discharged the piece, and the ball killed one of the men -on the s t, and wounded the other Deverely. The quantity of bedding, clothes, looking-glasses, coarse furniture, household chatte s, and useful implements of all kinds, carried oil by the sailors to the ships oil‘ Yeni- le, was enormous, and the work of transfer .from the houses to the vessels still continues briskly. The enemy have not been seen in the Iieigbourhood. The English have placed sen- tries over such buildings as the can rotect, cud the French also have establis ed or er to a certain extent among their men; but our sold- iers are much more amenable to discipline on such occasions, than troops accustomed to Afri- can warfare, and familiar with the traditions of conquest. The French have also an old grudge against the Russians. and perhaps feel a more bitter ersonal animosity against them than we do. Sir George Brown gave orders last night, that any person found in the town after dark -should be put in the guardhouse, and that any one in the uardliouse in the morning should be ﬂogge . There was, however, an alarm of ﬁre renewed this morning, and some diliculty was experienced in suppressing the ﬂames. Kertcb, which we can see in the dis- tance, is described by all our people who march- sd through it as a beautiful town. full of no buildings, with clean wide streets, and excellent houses, quays, promenades, and government institutions—worthy, in fact, ofa well-ordered European state. The only injur inflicted on Kertcli was the destruction of a arge granary by the Russians, and the demolition by tire of a manufaoto _y of riﬂe balls and munitions of war, belonvin to an Englishman, which was found in full p a . The proprietor, as well as two other country- men of ours. long settled there, was seized. All the people are still in the town. ‘They were well dressed and respectable, nor did they dilfer in appearance from the inhabitants of a Belgian or German town. s our troops marched through, the inhabitants cameout to look at them and offered them bread and salt, the tokens of submission and friendship. ne ofour ollicers who went into a clieuiist’s shop and asked for something to drink is agreeably . surprised at receiving a bottle of xcellent soda water with a dash of liquor. -‘In it. great number of vessels fell int,o.oiir hands here, and all the government stores and man guns, some of which werejound loaded and s otted. The eo_rn__whi_cl7i "the enem failed to burn was

feared that the

i-er-.part of the population of Kertch, which

is auﬁciently numerous, will be reduced to

great straits for want of food, as the public granaries are laid waste and ruined.

May 27, 1 o'clock, p. m.—The fire in the morning was caused by the destruction of the Russian boat-house and ferry-station opposite Ysnikale, which was rotected by a battery of eight guns. The Sun e or Viper destroyed the .htte , and cut of a portion of the garrison, :but she could not stay to take them prisoners, as her resence was required in the Sea of Azoﬁ. It would seem that Russia, aware of her real weakness iathese seas, ori araat of the truth, allowed the most extraordinary statements to go forth respecting the completeness and mag- %nitude of her preparations of defence. It was imagined, that the channel was blocked u at Ksrtoh, or below it, and for some time bac it its seduleusly stated, that the passage had been obstructed by sunken shi s, heaps of stone, pilu of ti.inber, and art ﬁcial banks;

The 72d Highlanders embarked at Malta in the steamer Alma, and left for the Crimea 28th ult. A draft of 3 oﬁcers and 207 men from the Depot follows immediately from Ireland. Prior to the Service Companies embarking for the Crimea, Sergeant George hlcBaiu was pre- sented by his brother Sergeants, on his leaving the Regiment after a service ct 25 years, 22 of which as Seargeant, with an address, and a handsome service of Silver.

According to a statement of a semiollicial character-_, 182,000 French tron s have been sent

to the Crimea, of these 120,0 are now avail. able. leaving 62,000 to be accounted for. The death statistics of the war are appalling. In

the course of less than two years, at least -500, 000 human beings have perished on the ﬁeld of battle, in hospital, or in the neck and corners where a homeless peasantry crawl to die, when war is raging around them.

Constantinople letters state that the Sultan has it in contemplation to visit France about the middle of August.

THREE Hrsnarn sun Firrv Houses I)ss'riiovi-:n nv FIRE —A letter from Bergen, in Norway, of the 2nd instant, states, that on the previous night it ﬁre broke out in that city, by which upwards of 350 houses were destroyed ; so rapidly did the ﬂames extend, that the inmates were obliged to escape in their night dresses, not having time to save a single article. Three of the liuest districts ofthe town have been des- troyed, and it was only by pulling down houses in different directions that t e other parts of the

town were saved. By the exertions of the ﬁre- ’meu, several of whom are said to have been killed, the bourse, the bank, and the royal museum were saved. The amount covered by insurance is 148,430 crowns (about £3l,50(l) but that sum is equal only to a 20th part of the loss.
