the proper means, live for years and years.
They are the victimsof excess and impru

They cannot master their passions they
cannot control their tastes, they cannot

The true philosophy of life is modera-
stood tliese tilings better tuan

the iutimate con-
nection between the mind and the body,
between the physical and the mental man,
and they endeavored to make the two
harmonize. They jived, not for the day
or the hour, but f-o as to prolong human
existence, and at the same time make it
agreeable. But in modern da's, all is
excitement, and everything is up to fever

The Retired Naval List.
A very important movement has just
taken place at "Washington in reference
to the Navy, by which that arm of the
nation's defence will be freed frora a large
amount of inefficient or useless personnel,
and its place supplied by promotions from
below. It will no doubt be of great ad-
vantage to the service. There have been
dropped from the rolls of the navy three
captains, six commanders nineteen lieu-
tenants, twelvo passed midshipmen, and
nine masters all voted to be useless men.
There havo been placed on the retired
list on "furlough pay," fifeen captains, at
81,250 per annum; twelve commanders,

we receive English despatches and news

' Tho steambhip America arrived at Liv

The Washington brings the important
: intelligence of the " Fall of Sebastopol!"
I On the 8th iust, the allied forces attack
j cd tho defences of Sebastopol, and tho
j French succeeded in gaining possession
j of the Malakoff. Thc English, who at
tempted the Redan, wcro not successful.
During the night, the Russians began to
sink their ships, blowup their magazines,
and burn their city, and on thc following
; morning Sebastopol was evacuated, and
! the communication between the north fort
; and tho town broken off.
j The following telegraphic despatch, rc
J ceived by Lord Panmure from General
, Simpson, appeared in the English morn
! ing journals of the 11th instant : "Scbas
. topol is in possession of the Allies. The
enemy, during the night and morning, e
I vacuated the south side, after exploding
i their magazines and setting fire to the
whole of tbe town. All the men-of-war
were burnt during the night, with the ex
ception "of three eteamers, which were
plying about the harbor. The bridge
communicating with the north side is
broken." Gen. Simpson regrets that tho
casualties in the attempt on the Redan
were somewhat heavy, but there wa3 no
general officer killed.
In a supplement of the Moniteur the1
following telegraphic despatch, received
by tlie French government from General
Pelissier, appears: Karabelnaia, the south
part of Sebastopol, no longer exists. The
enemy, perceiving our solid occupation of
thc Malakoff, decided upon consuming the
place after having destroyed aud blown
up by mines nearly all the defences.
Having passed the night in thc midst of
my troops, I can assure you that every
thing in the Karabelnaia i3 blown up, and
; from what I could see, the same must be
the case in front of our left line of attack!
j This immense success does the greatest
; honor to our troops. Everything is quiet
on the Tchernaya.
I The assault on the Malakoff was at
, noon of Sth inst. The redoubts and the"
i Redan, of Careening bay were carried by
' storm by the French soldiers, with ad-
mirable intrepidity to tbe shouts of Yive
j l'Empereur. The Redan of Careening
j bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy"
fire of artillery which was poured upon
; the first occupiers of that work. On be
! holding the French eagles floating on tho
Malakoff, Gen. dc Sulles made two attacks
, on thc Central Bastion, but did not suc
, ceed. The French troops returned to
their trenches. The losses were serious.
! The plan of the battle appears to have
been as follows : The place was attack
in four directions. Tbe British troops
; attempted the storming of the Redan; the
j French attacked the Malakoff. The ex
, treme right of tho French made a diver
sion on the little Redan, and a united at
tack of the English, French, and Sardin
ians wa3 made on the Central Battery.
All thc attacks were made simultaneously
j with great spirit and energy; but tbe ono
f which was most eminently successful, was
jled by Gen. Bosquet and Gen. M'Mahorp
'on the Malakoff. Both the Redan and
Central Bastion were at times in tbe hands
! of tho storming parties, but so accurately
did tho guns of the Russians cover these,
( that as soon as the English had gained
possession of them it was found impossi
ble to hold them.
The following despatch is from Prince
Gortscbakoff, and is dated the night of tho
. 9th. The garrison of Sebastopol, after
'sustaining an infernal fire, repulsed his
! assaults, but did not drive tbe enemy from
j the Malakoff Tower. Our brave troops,
! who resisted to thc last extremity, aro
j now crossing over to tho nothern part of
; Sebastopol. Tho enemy found nothing
m the southern part but blood stained
ruins. On thc 9th of September the pas
sage to the northern side was accomplish
ed, with the loss of 100 men. We loft, I
regret to say, 600 men previously wound
ed, on the southern side.
The intelligence of the fall of Sebasto
pol was received iu London with demon
strations of great joy. At the various
theatres and places of public amusement,
and thc bands at each place immediately
played the national anthems of England
and France, and throughout England tho
demonstrations wore general.
Tho English loss in tho assault on tho'
Redan is estimated at 2000 killed and
wounded.
