AUCKLAND, SATURDAY, OCT. 6, 1855. ARRIVAL OF THE WILLIAM DENNY WITH THE JULY MAIL.
Be just ami fear not; Let all the ends thou aim'st at, be thy Country’s, Thy God’s, and Tuith's.
The English Mail for July, reached Sydney only within an hour or two of ihe departnre of ihe William Ddnny ; and lo Hit; courteoii s consideration of Captain Maiiler, and Mr. Eraser the chief engineer-, we are indebted fur copies of the Melbourne Aye of the 20th, and the Sydney Herald Extraordinary of the 29in nil., from the last of which papers we derive the disastrous intelligence which we i have, this morning, to place before our ! readers. Sorties from the Russian Hues have ! furnished the staple of the Crimean war intelligence fur many months ; and of these sorties, how«*ver comparatively sanguinary, ; ii. has been our invariable good furlune lo i record l!ie c n \uU It: i\ \;\ si r< .'- fal • ■ :,,;' ;e na\, within a \ 'ry sh >rt p \ ;...;, \yc j have been cai'md to re! ilo'lh • tr iimphaiiL j ; i : a!) : i.'cc>ip tiio . by| the V- orb, of | •'■•' : '*' »ce : ;■ • I ion of the Maim ion - : •'><• crowning o[' ;:.;• leighls i;i command oi Careening l>ay—Urn unopposed reconuaismice of the Tcheruaya— the laming (by lite command of the sea of A /.off > of the enemy's rear—the destrm lion of his supplies, and the sepposod annihilation o I Lis means of : )■' s uesie lifoo.

j aim lively sympathy is u.imrui. I Bui that it will be the means of inspiring j belli France and England with a spirit of ! increased and increasing resolve, we icel | perfectly assured j The summary with the extracts which | follow, were prepared previous to the arri- | val of the “William Denny.” They have i been cruelly anticipated, it is li ne j bat they, I nevertheless, supply many items ol miriest j and importance. Conti? at? vto rd! reasonable expectation, and in opposition to much previous and vexations experience, the “Yarrow” brought a Sydney mail ; but so large was the an ear j of the \nsiralian .loin nnls, and so thoroughly j li.iil ilieir obsolete contents beo.n anticipated by the “waifs and strays” which private* j courtesy had, froai time to time, placed at ! our disposal, that these ponderous files are j little better than waste paper, i On Wednesday, the “SportingLass”came j into port ; but upon the principle, wc pre--1 some, of compelling the Auckland folks to i forage for English news when it arrives in 'Sydney, lit-* intelligent and consideiatfi I Postmaster at .Sydney transmitted Lula few I lei tees and 'private papers by that vessel. | When is this obstructive system to cease? i The sooner some effectual remedy is applied, I the belter wid it be for a ! ! interests, com- ; merciai, political, and social. To private courtesy we are again beholden for the mean* ol famishing our readers \ with the interesting tidings, conveyed to : Melbourne by the ship Defence, which will j be found in another part of our present ini- j pression ; In the Crimea, the cause of Wes'crn 1 Europe continues to progress in the most satisfactory manner The Sen of Azof!’ has boon swept of every hostile sail. Its forts, its ports, and’its store houses have ail passed into the hands of the Allies. Odessa trembles for its fate, j I ho Russian Nava! Brigade had been all but annihilated. The supplies of Sebasti pel | had been so completely cutoff; an i the! garrison of the city, and the army of the i Tchernavaso effectually pent up, that Corlselnkolf had telegraphed Iho Czar that he should be able to hold out but a short' time longer without an effectual relief in food and men. The Vienna conferences had been closr-d, and Austria lias declared for an armed ncut fit lily. Nothing of consequence had happened at Sebastopol, after the taking of the Mamelon Fort by the Allies, where the loss was very severe on both sides ; the French and En- j glish loss being about 4000 in killed ai d ; wounded, and that of the Russians about | 0000, besides 00 guns -100 prisoners, ai d ! ii Officers. The siege operations were proceeding with vigour, and the army on the Tchernaya had also advanced, and had several advantageous skirmishes with the Russians, and particularly in an affair of cavalry, which is highly spoken of, but iff which details are warding. “ A private letter from the camp, dated May li, contains (he following ; —•• Wc have had terrible work here. Last night, the IS (hj Regiment tired on the 08th by mistake. The Russians made an attack on (he advance batteries am! were repelled hy the tvSih and Rifles: the Russians returned in a short time with reinforce- i moots, again attacked the batteries, and a cartel struggle then took place. The reserves were Rich sent up-the 9th, I8(h. and Mlh— and when they got into the advanced trench both sides were so covered with mad that we could not tell Russians from English, so the reserve opened lire hut it was mi ortimalclyon (he poor 88th.
