A Tragedy in the Crimea.

A sad tragedy occurred on the 21st at the entrance to the Karabelnaia ravine. A body of French troops were marching down to furnish the usual relief to the picket in the ravine. The relief was composed of part of the 2 b-ttalion of the 25t.h regiment of the line. On the way, Lieut. Drinnt, ol thi! grenadieur company, had occasion to cheek a soldier who, being partly intoxicated, was marching very irregularly and giving expression to angry sen'.jniiints in a laud voice. Scarcely hai the reprimand been given when the •man replied: "Lieutenant, you've punished me often enough, you shall not punish me any more and on the instant leveling his musket, he fired, and shot, him through the body.

The unfortunate officer, a man of powerful frame, and said to be popular in the regiment, at once fell. He was carried to one of the English hospi als near at hand, and died immediately after his arrival. The murderer was secured without delay, and was being tak.'ti back, under escort, to the headquarters of his regiment, when a general murmor arose from the men for his instant

punishment. The general in

command of the trences was in the ravine close by, and after a brief consultation between him and the commandant of the relifcf, a council was held and the man condemned to be shot.

About 200 yards down the ravine and at a slight elevation above it on the side of Frenchman's hill, a smnli heap «f stones was observed with a clear space before it.

tliQ

To this the unhappy culprit was brought, while on either side the battal- Traders bank, ion was drawn up in companies, and Triers bank, here he received the fire of twelve muskets from a party placed on the oppos''e side of the ravine. He fell forward pierced by eight bullets, and after a All Solvent banks, short address from the General, the re-1 Suspended do. giment proceeded on its way. Half an hour elapsed between the perpetration °f

crime and the execution of the

criminal. The soldier had become sober immediately after committing the

murder. He had seen 18 years?ser-

vice, and was spoken of as a brave and! able man. He had lately received a slitrVit rcceiveu a p'
