Jordan Transcript. The sheriff, as we have heard, rays that last year on Ihu fourth day of July the juil was filled with jierxons committed for drunkenness uud disorderly conduct. This year there was not one! We en quire what causes the difference? The year bo- fore the last there were more than last year. This difference between the present nnd past years must be attribuluble lo some cause.

Dr. I'reslon is pallor J he was absent, and his plaCe supplied by a New Knglund minister. The bu ld ng is very fine, of giauite brought from Muiue, an I the interior is a noble teinic. In the afternoon I determined In hear the renowned An drew Marshall, the veteran parlor of the African Baptist church. Tlra suldicr of the cross has a world wide fame, and a very interesting notice1 of his pulpit servlco u:ay be found iu Sir Charles Ly ell's travels. Mr. Marshall's church ia a fulr old building, and iu its interior much resembles a New England old country meeting house. "I lookd round upon the congregation, nnd no ticed Ihut the audience, without exception, Was well dressed ; the women chiefly wore head-dresses of Madras h.indkorchoils, though many had bon nets, nnd most of tho men wore gloves. Mr. Mar shall, I shoal 1 observe, is in his 1 00th year) his hair is as white as stiow-, his couutcn.iuce mild, without any wrinkle.? to mark dcrepitude or de cay. His voice is one of great sweetness and power ; he rend his hymn without spcctuclcs and sui.h reading ! In ruber truth, I know no northern Doctor who cau read as well. It was read as Siaughton used to read, and those who remember that style of giving out psalmody, will long lo hear Andrew Marshall. I came lo church expecting to henr a wreck of a preacher o negro preacher. I found in the pulpit a master iu Israel. Age has not touched his faculties ; his mind is as vivacious, and its workings aio as true and faithful as are tho intellects of men of 30 or -10 years of age. He preached for an hour un expository sermon on the man out of whom Christ cMK'lled .the devils who were permitted logo into the herd of swine. ''Mr. Marshall's sermon will remain in my mem ory associated wilh the discourses of great men. The exposition was scripturul, argumentative, full of imagination aud abounding iu wit, yet all in keeping with the placo I was remiud. d all through the sermon of three great preacheis iu Uie old country, ench cmiiicul in his pecullur way. I re fer lo Rowluud Hill, Christmas Kvans and Win Jay. Marshall has much of tho wit which cor m-caled fmm the desk of Surrey chapel, while the graphic sketching of the Welch Demosthenes, and the admirable colloquial style of Juy are all found throughout his sermon. The noble preach cr made more points of power in that hour than I have heard in any sermon for five yenrs. I regard him as die mo. t astonishiug preacher I have ever listened to, when his age, his social position, and his illiteracy are all considered. No pulpit in New York or Boston but would have been honored by such a sermon. The limits of a teller will not permit me to give nn outline of the sermon, but it will live in my memory, and its illustration would have been a stock in trade for a tyro in theology, aud many a sprig iu divinity. Mr. Marshall's voice ia eupho. iiiuus, his maimer dignified. Nothing but his v. hilo hair indicutes his age, and I should never have supposed him more than sixty-five, liud I not been infoimed. I must not forgot his prayer j it was mau tulkiug with Cod, reverently wrestling with God. He saw the portals of the city he had been often at ita gates, and il seemed as if he knew tho holy ones. Among tho hearers were several while ladies and gentlemen, and I was glad lo meet there with the Hon. Francis Graii-' 01 llcred oratory 'er w.tnesScO. Mi'.

Tho loss of thu EtiL'li"h nlso was orreullv oxai'- gnrated the ollicinl report footing up about 1500 killed, wounded, uud missiiiir, of whom nearly 100 were oflicers, an enormous 1m, however, considering ihe number engui.'d, about four thousand men beinji inoro than one-third. Tho Ions of tho French was about 400.) men, out of nn attacking force of twenty-five thousand. Tho whole expedition apitam lo have been very badly mnnajjfd, or ruthrr planned ; and tho at tack and repulse was one of the nunt awful pieces of butchery tvef nccded. Tho men were literally v oted- down by com panies nnd by whole regiments. The Eng lish appear to attribute the failure of the nwanll to tho needed of the allied batteries to fire, on the fortifications assaulted, thus to weaken and injure them, immrdintc-ly prcMotis to llio assaults. This was a part of tho original plan ; but just as tho timu had arrived for opening this fire, the French commander proposed its omission, on the ground that he could not cover his large masses of men, brought up for tho assault, during the bombardment. Lord Rnglnn, of course ns3euted ; but its consequences were terrible?. It is slated that General Mavran's French division, on tho way to attack the fort on llio extreme right, by the'Careenine; Har bor, coiimu need the attack prematurely, nnd fire tho other division had taken their ground. Mayran full mortally wounded, and his division being thrown into disorder, the Russians turned their concentrated fire upon tho next division as it came up under General Unmet, and shaitered it badly. lit tinet also fell. Orders were then given to withdraw i he troops into the trendies, al though Gen. I'Aumatnrrv had meantime reached tho Mulatto!!" Tower. ' The retreat waseflectcd with good order but wilh great loss. When Lord Raglan saw tho defeat of the First French Division, he hastily ordered nn attack on the Redan, to effect a diversion in favor of the French, although it was previ ously intended that tho British should not attack until the French should have cap tured tho Mnhtkoff, inasmuch as tho Mala koff's guns quite commanded the Redan. So far as civilians at a distance could judge, Lord Raglan's order to a' tack was a great error, for tho British storming party, not being sufficiently strong to cover the works, were repulsed with much slaughter. Russian Account or tbe Assault. Tho following despatch was received iu Berlin from St. Petersburg, dated June 25: Prince GortschakofV writes : After twenty-four hours of n murderous cannonade nnd unprecedented bombardment, tho enemy, early on tho morning o( the 18th, attempted the assault of bastions one, two, and three, and thu KornilofF bastion. Repulsed ot nil points with enormous loss, the Fiench withdrew, leaving six hun dred prisoners. : After this assault, so .brilliantly repulsed by our troops, tho enemy iu the evening nearly discontinued his fire ; nnd up to the evening of the 19th nothing worthy of note had occurred in itio vicinity of Sehastopol. ' Deatu of Lord an-glcn. Lord Raglan expired at ilia headquarters of the army, on the 28th June. For somo days previously his Lordship had been suf fering from indisposition, but until 4 P. M. on the 2Sth ho progressed to the satisfac tion of his medical attendants. Afterwards alarming symptoms developed themselves, attended with difficulty of breathing, which gradually increased. From 5 P. M. ho was unconscious, nnd from that period ho grad ually sunk until 25 minutes before 0, at wlrch hour ho 'lied. 1 he event has plung' .... . , , td the w hole army into the most profound grief. Maj. Gen. Simpson had succeeded to the temporary command. ' Lord Raglan had been the commander- in chief of the English forces over since they arrived in the East. ITe was an old Water loo soldier, was attached to Lord Welling ton's staff, nnd a mail of undoubted bravery and groat discretion. Such duty as ho has been called upon to perforin for n yejr past, and such complaints and disappointments as he has been compelled to endure, were quite enough to destroy any man but the 'Iron Duke."

DclulU ot tbe Ureal Assault. Correiquu leu of Tho London News. Bkfoiib Srbastopol, Juno 18, 1SS5. Ten days or moro before this reaches you the eh ctlie telegraph will h&ve given you the news thut Sevastopol has been njjain bombarded and stormed unsuccessfully. Soften down tho huinilia'hig fact as that obedient messenger may, 1 have to report the naked truth, and apprise you that we have received uu unredeemed and undeni able check, which not inadequately balances accounts between the enemy and ourselves for nt least one ot our three general actions fought aud won sinco wo set foot in the Crimea. If to smooth nway the unpleasaut results of a defeat by concealing losses on our own siue and - underrating urnve deeds performed nnd substantial benefits gninnd by the enemy, wore iu any way com patible with tho duty of one on whom some, at least, of the homo public aro dependent for their knowledge of what occurs here, I miflit nUetnpt to give a softening colorinir to the affair which would bo more "oflicial" than straightforward in the clement of lin ked truth. Beaten we havo been, however, as the following unvarnished narrative of the whole matter tVuin first to last will establish iu the face of every statement to the con trary, from those whom either official or other unwillingness to own tho fact may in duce to represent otherwise. In onn of the closing paragraphs of my last letter 1 mentioned thut camp rumor and significant movement of troops toward the front, justified the expectation of early and decisive action against the town ; and the muil that bore my dispatch was not half way across the Black Sea before ihe guns along the whole line of attack opened lire for n third general bombardment. This took place about dawn yesterday morning, when a shower of heavy xhntand shell began to bo poured down upon the devoted works of the Malukott nnd Redan, which seemed to render it impossible for any men who ever breathed to work replying guns for nn hour. Work them, however, thu Russians did; and till well on the fo'onooti they gave us a "Roland for an Oliver" from every embrasure from which ihey could point a run. About noon their fire, slack ened, and from the MalakofTespecially on which the French were keeping up n perfect flood of shot and shell from tho a'ljacent Matnclon only an odd rii-cliar''e, from a solitary couple of guns replied to tht storm that burst from along tho line of tho Allies' batteries ; the Kednu was rutlior bn-ker, but before sundown it loo seemed to have received its quietus from the well-directed lire of our own bnUeirios on its front, uud the belief was ruiieial that its (.'tins were de nrived of further power for harm. The Russian shipping still layout in the harbor, in a position "f very templing exposure but a request hat iug been made to Lord Raglan, early in the day, to spuro them oil the ground of there being sick ou board, his lordship, with his usual ami characteristic readiness lo comply with tho wishes of tho hostile general, gave orders to that ellect, and the six liners, and cie;ht or ten steamers and smaller craft, flatted safely through the storm that rug' d around. Five hundred rounds a gun had been served round to the batteries, and from this ample store was poured out an incessant shownr of shot nnd shell mainly against the MalakofTand Re dan which fi ll u thickly within the en . . . emy s enclosures as any aiiti-.miscovne spectator from tho higiits in front of our division could desire. In fact the reverbe- ratiuff thunders of tho discharzes broke upon the ear not in single sounds, but in one thcr camp doubted the certainty of our suc Ioiij deafening rumble iu which it wasieess; nnd yet failure has fallen on us like a lillicult to distinguish the separate peals. The Victoria (French) rocket battery kept sending its tctriblb messengers meanwhile into the town and occasionally among the shipping, but with what result in the latter direction I was unable to ascertain. The plan of tho allied General being lo effectual ly silence the Iwo niaiu works of the enemy beforo storming, the fire was vigorously kpt up with Ixitb tliot and shell till eunsct, rkVllM.KU'tltkX. "Vtve ttollavs Year. ho. ao. Freiich Such, in brief, was the character of the boiiibarditKiit throughout the duy unceas ing, and apparently iu every way satisfac tory in its results. So far at I can ascertain ntlhis early hour after tlio unfortunate nf fair, the original design of the allied generals was to make a joint attack upon the Main kolf which taken, llio Uedun could bo no Jonger held "by ihe enemy. Tho Lmglish were to assault it on tho southwest side, while tho French stormed on the northeast, another column simultaneously making a feint against thu Iteduii, to keep thoo of its flanking guns which might bo still un silenced from annoying the assailants of tho MalakolK Our force lo bo engaged was to consist of three uttackiug parties of 400 each, and the sumo number of working parties of 800 each. Such was the arrangement so far as anything was known of it among the tjuidnuitci of the cunip till Into hist evening. It then, however, became rumor ed thai the whole plan had been altered, and that the French were to have the Mala kofi'to themselves, while wo made a three folk attack on the Redan at its s.iliout nnd two re-ontoring angles. This wus the case. Our force was to consist of four columns, one for cuch of the points of attuck, com posed of an engineer officer and ten sappers, a covering pnity of one hundred rifles, fifty un n wilh wool bags, 100 (sailors) wilh cnlintr-hidders,' 400 main stormers, a sup porting lorceoffcCO, auua working party oi 400. with a fourth lo advance aud threaten the enemy s works at the head of tho Dock yard Cn t-k anil, if possible, effect a lodg ment in the ruinori buddings on lint side of tho town. Accordingly about midnight the tioops told oil' for these services paraded and marched down from tho camp by the ravines which lead from tho front to the several directions above mentioned should remark that tho 23d Regiment had been choton to h ad the storming ; but shortly after 2 o'clock an hour bofore thu affair beean Gen. Airey succeeded in having his honor transferred to tho 34th, his own old regiment, with what result will bo seen. About 3 o'clock the French advanced to the attack of tho Malakoff, and a few min utes after the signal was made for our own to rush on tho Redau. By somo unaccount able blundering tho covering parly got uhead nf the stormers, to whom report at tributes no great haste in advancing, nnd iiiimcdinie confusion was Ihe result. Equal. Iv uuexplaiuable is tho fact that, instead of making for their assigned points of attack at tho three angles above specified, the parties jumbled into one, and in this stale moved ou into lire. 1'earlul then was the reception that awaited them. From out every en'ibrtisurc whose guns we had fond ly thought silenced during the day an iron shower of grapo and canister was vomited forth with desolating effect, knocking down dozens for every gun, aud adding panic to the previously existing confusion. 1 may mention iu puriial explanation, that many of tho men present were raw recruits, recent ly drafted from tho depots in England ; but even had they been veterans of many a hard-fought campaign, ihey could have not advanced under so terrific and annihilating a storm as met them along the whole front. Seeing llio sad plight of the stormers and their covcreis, tho supporting parly then dashed on to join them ; bul ihey too were compelled, with sadly shattered ranks, lo seek shelter behind tho broken breastworks of the old Russian trenches befuro tho Re dan, where they lay for several hours in terchanging rifle shots wilh the enemy's musketeers, who swarmed within aud along tlie parapets ofthowoik. Seeing every thing lost, tho commanders of thu soveral parlies gave the order to retire early in tho but that was found inmractieallo till our nuns, bv a terrific firo had drawn off tho enemy's piutcs fiotu their grapo aud canister practice, when our men weto grad ually enabled to cscapo back out of fire, nnd so off tho field ullogethor mauled nnd cut up more than they would have been after on nrdinurv L'eiieral action, and this with out having dope a singlo injury of impor tance to the enemy. The fourth column, undor Gen. Eyre, had in tho meantimo ef fected the proposed lodgment so completely that they got in aud could not get out, except al tho cost of ruiiniiir tho cauntlet of a simi lar fusilade of giapo to that which had swept down so many of their comrades. They remain there at this moment, I believe, and can only hopo to eEcaie during the night. Such, in a few words, is the reverse which wo havo met with to-day tho fortieth an niversary of Waterloo. If report is to bo believed, Ihe day had been wailed for to wipe out the last rankling memories of the great Uelgiau field, and cementour now sym pathics by a hand-in hand wotory over a com moil foe. Last night not a man in et; thuuder-clap after nil. The blsme, howev er, lies not so much wilh Lord Raglan as with Sir George Brown, who generally com manded, and his brigade oflieers: tho latter especially havo blundered in a manner which is as surprising as it has been disas trous, and, to repeat what I have already sta ted we have iu cousequenco lost as many officers and men as would have gained a pircbed battle ia tho, (kid. Of the former I may mention Gen. &r John Ciuuplel!, whose b"ud was knocked oil' wilh a round shot; Lord West, ieiileiianl-colnii,-l of tlm 20th ; Col. Yen, of the 7th Fusilueis f and dipt. Lee, of the 21t, beaides many othei both killed and wounded. I may just mention that much of lh.i grnpe fired was wooden, used either through a scarcity of tho metallic, or to scatter wide ly nt a short rant'c, as was that of thia morning, while tho men yt' under fire. , . .1 1 . .1 ! f I . . 1 Several ol llio uurieu mieriiai iuhciiiiius al so exploded during tho morning, and though not fatally destructive to any ouo they inflicted sr-noin persoual injuries on several both of the o Hi cent and men. No less than eighty-four of thrso ingenious con trivances were dug up during tlie'nt'nck ou the Quarries ou tho 7th June. They ton sistof two square boxes buried about U it inches below the surface of tho ground, and coiimcted together by a glass tube filled with an acid, and rising out of llio mass of explosive material which fills both; fioni the centra of this last another small vertical tube rises to tho level of tho ground, like wise filled with a chemical liquid, which when mingled with that iu thu lower tub", by being pressed down into il by tho foot of tho passer, ignites, explodes tho powder, aud blows the unfortunate victim or ictitu in trmiiitu above into the air. Iu the at tack upon the quarries only two of thesu went oh, but several, 1 uin mionned, t-x-ploded during this morning's approach t' ihe Redan. A single letter, however, would not sit Hi co to relate till llio disastrous inci dents of the tliy's doiie's, nor to detail tho scries of blunders by which llio occurrence may be explained. 1 presume, of courso, to tiller no opinion ou thu worth or other wise of the plan of attack which.! havo mentioned ; it was probably capable of be ing carried out successfully, bad lis emeu, tants been other than the wooden headed old women iu regimentals wilh whom lay its carrying out ill their several brigades. Tho feeling, however, throughout tlio camp both with officers nnd men is, that a heavy loss has been sustained through tho most w retched mismanagement by which troop could be sacrificed, rather than owing to any vast difficulties in tho way of the capture of either of the works assailed. Wo Line, at all events, tho unsatisfactory consolation of knowing that not ourselves alone have fail ed ; for the French have been beateu off from before the Malukoli with a loss com pared with which ours has been trifling.- Besides four generals they havo lost vory ninny colonels nnd other superior officers, and, report says not less than three thous and rank and tlio. ., : The enemy, on the other band, appear t have gained their success at but a small cost, though they must havo sulloied con siderably during the courso of yesterday's bombardment. 1 ho terribly cllectivo array of preparation with which they met and re pulsed tho advance of our men eanouhi'bti explained on tho supposition that their guns had been withdrawn under cover and kept in readiness for the assault w hich ihey knew would follow the bombardment; or, if re ally silenced by our batteries during the courso of tho day, had been replaced by heavr field artillery run up into Ihe embra- surcs nnd loaded chock lull oi grnpe ami canister as they were.

June 21, 185.1. Tho original plan of nttack, ns I men tioned in tho letter of Monday, contempla ted a joint English and French assault of tho Malakoir, which, as commanding the Redan and forming the grand key to the whole network of redoubts nnd batteries in front of tho place, would, if taken, havo at onco rendered the former untenable, and placed tho whole town and harbor at tho mercy of tho cantors. For reasons, howev. cr, which nobody can understand, this very sensible and apparently most practicable de sign was abandoned, and the plan was chang ed into ouo of a simultaneous attack of tint two great works the Malakoir being un dertaken by llio French and tho Redan by ourselves. The first tnanife! t disadvantage of this arrangement was ihe spreading of our forces over a field of ililliculties nearly double in extent, and enabling the enemy to bring a vast number of guns into play against us. which, in tho former case, could not .
