MARGARET TEMPLE return their sincere thanks for assistance rendered at the Elect!on yesterday, at the London Tavern, which has placed her among the successful candidates. 22d November, 1854, Now publishing, in 2,620 Imperial Octavo pages, the POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOB 1855. The work has been so greatly extended, that the division entitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being about THIaTT-EIGST Tuoirsamo more than have ever appeared in the corresponding division of any other book. Its distingu+shing feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, &c. , &c. , of the metropolis and its suburbs appear in one general alphabetical arrangement; it is, therefore, the only work in which the occupant of any house can be ascertained. The 152,416 names are carried into all the classifications to which they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical position ; all the members of any profe,sion or trade, whether in the metropolis er its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged aiphabetieally in one list. This being the only work in which they are so, is the only one in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained. The nobility, gentry, and professional persons re sident in London and its suburbs, are included in the one general" Court" alphabetical list, now so greatly extended that it ine.udes upwards of Forty-tour thousand names. An azeurately compiled " Conveyance Directory," so comprehen sive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices in Great Britain, is included in the volume, which also contains a large amount of miscellaneous information, as—House of Peers, in their order of precedence--Provincial Inns, with their holders— Arrangements of the Law Courts—Names of all Postmasters in Ragland and Wales—Periodical Publications, with their Publishers —not any part of which is to be found in any other London Direc tory, It, besides, has (exclusively) that most important adjunct, an INDEX TO STaEsTs, PLACES, CHAX3EIS, WILUIPS, &C" &4., with full Money Order information.

I'7 • • 4 .2 • e- 7- ~ ~ ~~~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1854, In another part of our impression will be found a despatch from Lord RAGLAN, which has just been published in a Gazette Extraordinary, and - which contains full particular 3 of the feat fill strug gle before Sebastopol on the sth November in ant, now known as the battle of Inkerman, THE SUN, LONDON, .WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1854. and also the lists of the g allant fellows killed or 1 wounded in the terrible and protracted conflict. The latter is, indeed, a mournful document, one • which may well repress the exultation we should otherwise feel at the splendid triumph obtained, but which, alas ! has been almost too dearly pur chased. Eight Generals have been killed or wounded, and some of the latter so se verely that we have but slender hopes of their being enabled to return to the discharge of the duties which they had previ ously performed with so much honour to them selves and advantage to their country. The na tion has to deplore the loss of the Hon. Sir GEORGE CATHCART, whose father, the veteran Earl CATHCART, had so greatly distinguished himself on so many occasions during a life protracted far beyond the ordinary span. The gallant son proved himself worthy of such a sire. From early youth his energies had been devoted to the service of his country. He was no Carpet Knight, desirous of avoiding fatigue or danger ; but wherever the duty was most arduous and irksome there was CATHCART to be found I It is needless to say that he possessed what he had so eminently merited, the confidence of the military authorities, and of the community at large. When the Kafir war had become very serious CATHCART was selected by the Govern ment as Civil and Military Governor of the Cape. Shortly after his return he was appointed to the important office of Adjutant-General. But even that could not induce him to remain at home, when the banner of England was displayed in the presence of numerous and formi dable opponents. He claimed a command. His services were such that the application could not be rejected. He received his appointment, and on the sth inst. a glorious death in the face of the enemy—a fitting consummation to a career in which he had gathered verdant laurels in almos t every quarter of the globe. Peace to his manes ! He has left the inheritance of a glorious name to those who must more keenly feel the sorrow in which the nation also participates. GOLDIE and STRAIUIWAYS have also fallen ; and we regret to be obliged to add, that TORRENS, who was at first returned only as wounded, is said to have likewise perished of his wounds. These are blanks which cannot easily be supplied. Every one of these distin guished officers had eminently merited the high rank they had attained in the service, and it will be difficult, indeed, to supply their places. The cur rent of promotion will bring forward other men who have participated in the struggle—ALNsuE, who, with the 93d, withstood the formidable onslaught of the 25th of October, when the Turkish recruits sought safety in ignominious flight—and many others who have bravely and efficiently discharged the trust confided to their charge have well merited the rewards which will doubtless be ac corded to such distinguished services. Lord 1 RAGLAN has very properly been made a Field Marshal for his pre-eminent services. The dis tinction thus fairly earned and gracefully con ferred will be hailed with unanimous approbation throughout the entire country. We oply hope that we shall be allowed to record also suitable distinctions and promotions conferred on the other generals and officers who have also deserved the thanks and gratitude of the country. Sir GEORGR BROWN, ADAM, BILNTINCK, and BULLER are seriously wounded. The nation will not speedily or easily forget the occasion on -which they so freely shed their blood. We trust that they may each and all be spared to witness, aye, and to assist in achieving the triumph of our afalS, the success of the noble cause for which they readily imperilled their lives ; and those who still remain ready for service, who have apparently borne charmed lives amidst the iron shower, they, too, will not be for gotten their names will be associated with the glorious sth of November, the commemora tion whereof will no longer be devoted to a dead traitor, but to living heroes, and those who fell on the field of honour. Remembering, too, that Roman Catholic as well as Protestant bled ou that day, we trust that there will be an end to the insults which have been so improperly directed against many loyal and devoted subjects of Queen VICTORIA. Public attention has been strongly directed to the heavy expenses already incurred in our war against Russia, and the vast outlay that must be submitted to if we continue fixed in our deter mination to humiliate the pride and diminish the power for mischief of the AUTOCRAT. We are referred to the Income Tax already doubled, and brought down to all recipients of 1001. per annum, or upwards, to the increased duties on malt, spirits, and sugar, and we are threatened with further impositions to crush the already over-burdened tax-payer. At the same time, other results still more intolerable, in the shape of considerably en hanced prices for all the necessaries of life, are pointed out, and we are told that "these are the fruits of the hostilities in which we have engaged, and the warlike enthusiasm with whiCh the nation has been suddenly seized." The object of such commentaries is easily dis cernible. By magnifying the evils, and materially enhancing the burdens arising from our breach with Russia, it was intended to disgust the people and prepare them for peace at any price or on any terms. Although the Treasury had been denuded of its balances, and more than E zatir MILLIONS sterling were abstracted for the purpose of paying off old debts at par, there was no attempt to con tract a new loan, or to place our available funds in the same position that they had been before the enormous draughts on them on account of the GLiDSTONE abortion. This enormous payment on the eve of war was praised as a "valuable financial demonstration•," although about as sensible as it would have been to have sunk half our vessels of war, in order to reduce our fleet to more equal terms with the Russian navy; and thus to have induced them to venture forth from beneath the protection of their armed batteries. Ali the expenses, too, were to be defrayed from the current revenue. "Posterity," and a due regard to its interests, formed the excuse. The real ob ject, as we have stated, was to prepare the public mind for peace, on terms far less advantageous than we might be entitled to exact. It was with this view also that all the vexatious and impolitic monetary restrictions were main tained with unabated force, albeit incompatible with exertions such as should be resorted to if determined to carry on the war in earnest. We cannot hope to triumph over the CZAR with out incurring much heavier expenses than those Mr. GLADSTONE indicated in his original or amended Budgets. We cannot provide for that outlay without making up our minds to the total repeal, or very extensive alteration, of the Act of 1844, and also, very probably, to a public loan, at all events sufficient to replace the 8,000,000/. so improvidently taken from the national exche query We at u e s e o d momentoushave little a f crisis. ear that, w ith judi cious arrangements, an d the due developm en t of the national resources, we shall be enabled to meet every legitimate demand. But Ministers must be actuated by a very different spirit from that so long perceptible. They must endeavour to strengthen and animate, in pl,Lce of discouraging, the people, to do all in their power to excite, in place of damping, the existing enthusiasm, and to make their burdens easy in place of intolerable. If we look to what the nation ha 3 already ac complished—its rapid growth in wealth and po pulation during the former great war in which we were engaged, we shall see that there is nothing in what we have as yet been, or are likely to be, charged with, to " fright the Isle from its pro priety." Sixty years since, at the commencement of hostilities with France, the population of the United Kingdom was less than fourteen millions. Within twenty-two years of incessant exertion it had risen to nineteen millions—an increase of more than 35 per cent. within 22 years ; while during the same period the revenue had sprung from less than 20,000,0001. to more than 72,000,0001., or 260 per cent, addi tional. The expenditure had also increased to 92,000,0001., or about 360 per cent. Now, such gigantic and superhuman efforts could not have been made but for the inconvertible paper currency—the worthless rags against which so much vituperation has been poured forth. It was by these means that we were alone enabled to withstand the greatest power the world ever saw—to maintain our independence, and, ulti mately, to achieve our objects. We certainly in creased our public debt, but we, at the same time, increased our resources, and the people, though heavily taxed, were enabled to bear their burdens cheerfully and easily ; and so they could have continued to do but for the unfortunate bullienist experiments, and the determination to pay debts contracted in paper in solid gold at a practical addition of at least 50 per cent. to the just amount. If the people, then, are indeed in earnest in their intention to carry on the war to a just, honourable, and safe termination—if they wish to satisfy the CZAR that they are bent on victory at any cost, let them insist on a total alteration in the financial policy of the country, and the adop tion of a monetary code more suitable to a state of war than that at present in operation. It is not difficult to indicate the nature of the new currency. It must be essentially national. Not issued by a private Corporation, whose only claim to confidence is that it possesses a certain amount of Public Securities, which are considered to afford a suitable guarantee for the ultimate redemption of its promises to pay. Surely, the whole resources of the country, the taxes, lands, and accumulated property of every description, nay, more, the labour of every British subject is practically liable, for the satisfactory liquidation of all claims of the holders of National Notes. There is, in fact, the same security in every essen tial particular, as for Consols or Exchequer Bills. If, then, we have an adequate supply of such notes issued for convenient amounts, say one, two, and three pounds each, they would speedily be substituted for gold, which would thus become available for the vigorous conduct of the war, and the foreign trade of the country, while the do mestic trade would be carried on by a domestic currency not subject to these disturbing influ ences. Industry then would flourish, when its " life-blood" circulated freely, and there was at all times sufficient for the wants and exigencies of the nation. LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBA STOPOL VIENNA, TUESDAY, Nov. 21. Advices from Kischeneff, of the 20th inst., state that nothing important had occurred at Sebastopol up to the 14th November. The bombardment continued. The Russian loss was estimated at 150 daily. M. de Kotzebue had gone to Germany ; it is supposed on a political mission. Goods trains will not run on the North and Sauth Austrian Railroads for some days, because the Sixth Army Corps is about to pass through Vienna from Styria to Moravia. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. A despatch from Marseilles of the 20th an nounces that the Duke ofCambridgo was slightly wounded on the sth. Omer Pasha was, it is said, about to send a large body of troops to the Crimea. An Egyptian three-decker went down near Varna. Hassan Pasha, the Admiral, was drowned, and only a fourth of the crew were saved. MADRID, Nov. 17. The Three per Cents., 35 50. THE BATTLE OF INKERMAN. The St. Petersburg Journal of the 14th inst., contains a report from Prince Menschikoff, dated the 6th. The substance of this report is as follows : On the sth a large body of Russian troops, commanded by General Dannenberg, and sup ported by artillery, made a sortie from bastion No. 1. The attack at first was very successful. The Eng lish works were stormed, and 11 guns spiked. Un fortunately, just at this moment the commanders of the division which was attacking the entrench ments were wounded, and a body of French troops arrived to support the English. The siege ar tillery of the French was also brought to bear on the field of battle, and it was impossible for the light Russian field pieces to sustain the con test. The number of riflemen in the enemies' ranks caused also great loss to the Russians in officers and artillerymen, and they were forced to retire without finishing the redoubts which they had begun to throw up. The Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas were present under a terrible fire, and showed the greatest courage. Simultaneously with this sortie, another body of Russians made another against the French lines and spiked 15 guns. The Russian loss in killed was not ascer tained, but they had 109 officers and 3,500 men wounded ; among the former was General Soimo noff, who was shot through the body, and lived only a few seconds, Major-Generals Villebois and Ochterlony, Colonels Alexandroff, Poustovoitoff, Bibikoff, Delwig, and Verefkine. Prince Menschikoff, Major-General Kischinsky, commanding the artillery, and several officers of the staff, received contusions. General Dannenberg had two horses killed un der him, and all the officers about 'lira were wounded. The loss of the Allies was supposed to be very great. RUSSIAN DESIRE TO NEGOTIATE. The Russian envoy, GortshalKoff, has intimated to the Austrian Cabinet that Russia is willing to negotiate a peace on the basis of the four guaran teed conditions. RUSSIAN WANT OF ARTILLERYMEN. BRUSSELS, Nov. 20. A despatch from St. Petersburg states that, to replace the artillerymen picked off at Sebastopol by the francs-tirewrs and riflemen of the Allies, the Russian Minister of Marine has taken artillery soldiers from the Baltic fleet, and sent them to the south. A special and rapid service of waggons has been provided for their conveyance. A telegraphic despatch was received in Paris last night from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, which mentions that on the 9th another engagemen had commenced between the Russians and the Allied army, the result of which was not known at the time the last steamer from the Crimea left. A letter from Galatz of the 9th, in the Lloyd of Vienna, states that large bodies of Turkish troops were arriving there, and that it was gene rally believed Omer Pacha would soon commence offensive operations. ATTACK ON THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL PRICE, AND CAPTURE OF TWO SHIPS. By the arrival of the United States Mail steam• ship Pacific, this morning, at Liverpool, we have the following important intelligence respecting the operations of the Allied fleets in the Pacific : The Allied Fleets in the Pacific made an attack on the Russian town and fore of Petropolopski, Kamchatka, on the Ist and 4th of September, and destroyed two Russian batteries. The loss of the Allies was 64. The loss of the Russians is reported to be very heavy, but the number not ascertained. The Allies retired, having captured two Russian vessels. Rear-Admiral Price was accidentally killed. Captain Frederick, of the Amphitrite, succeeds him. Another account says :—The Allied squadrons were repulsed, with a loss of killed and wounded variously estimated at from 100 men to abo double that number. The British Rear-Admiral Price, who commanded the united fleet, was killed by a pistol shot during the engagement ; it is supposed that he accidentally shot himself. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This morning the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, arrived in the Mersey from the United States and British North America. She sailed from New York on the 11th inst., and has brought besides the mails 60 passengers and nearly 600,000 dole. in specie on freight. _ The North Star steamer arrived at New York from California with nearly two million dollars in gold. She confirms the loss of the steam-ship Yankee Blade, with 40 lives. Sir Edmund Head, the new Governor-General, arrived at Quebec on the 9th. At the departure of the steamer the money mar ket had a very unfavourable aspect. Stocks were duller, and declining. _ The - cotton market is reported one-eighth lower and dull. The breadstuff market inactive and prices un changed. The market for provisions had a more lively appearance. _ _ Freights unaltered. Exchange on London, 1091 to 109 8 . Exchange on Paris, 5.131 to 5.161. Several failures are announced. LAUNCH OF THE SCREW STEAMER VITTORIO EMMANUELO. A fine screw steamer, the second of a fleet of ten was yesterday laun c h e d f rom M essrs. ships intended for the Transatlantic Steam-packet Com extensive works at Bl ac k wel l . T h i s ell3nlatanerYrepoArfinsGdineCgnoo.ac's'orepany has been formed and established under the most favourable auspices, his Majesty Victor Emmanuel, the King of Sardinia, himself taking a deep interest in the prosperity of the undertaking, and being in fact one of the largest of the shareholders. The com panyinpean of North an d S outh America. l ports in the sout h of Spain, propose to establish steaE and direct postal com munication pc i o s rinntci one continents of considerabl e magn i tude, but between Genoa, Marseilles, Barcelo na , Gib ar, and The pr l t a rew, enterprise n ehr d t t hi h se e e one which at the same time will ne doubt achieve for itself some most successful results. Few, if any, of the minor states of Europe have within the last few years made such rapid progress as the kingdom of Sardinia in foreign commerce and in the develop ment of its rich and varied industrial resources. Its mercantile marine numbered according to the last re turns 3,467 vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 160,000 tons, and giving employment to more than 250,000 per sons. In addition to the native vessels employed in the trade of the country, not fewer than 4,400 foreign ships, with a tonnage of 378 tons, entered the various ports of the kingdom. A large and rapidly increasing trade also exists between Sardinia and the United States, which will no doubt be greatly facilitated by the establishment of the proposed route. The vessel which was launched yesterday was 245 feet in length between the perpendiculars, the length of the keel for tonnage 224 feet, her breadth 35 feet, tonnage 1,459 tons, and she is capable of stowing 430 tons of coals. She is to be fitted with two engines of 250-horse power, new in course of co nstruction by M essrs . S. Rennie and Co. Her bu i ld is remarkably h an d some , .and appears well adapte d no t oily for fast saili ng , b u t forlargestoage accommodation. Th e vessel, after being successfully , christened by Miss D raper, passed clown the " ways in gallant style amid the cheers of a large number of guests invited to the august ceremony, among whom were the Sardinian Minister, the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Sardinian Consul, the Chevalier Julien de 80110 (managing director of the company), and a large number of Italians and foreigners resident in this GO= try.. _ . After the launch a portion of the visitors proceeded to ex arsine the extensive foundries and smitheries of Messrs. Mare, and the process of hammering, rolling, and planing the massive plates of iron intended for the new floating batteries was watched with intense interest. Each of these plates of iron is four and a quarter inches in thickness, three feet in breadth, twelve feet in length, and weighs upwards of three tons ; but from the apparent ease with which these burning masses were moved about and ope rated upon no idea could be formed of their enormous weight. The two batteries in course of construction at Messrs. Mare's are to be named the " Meteor" and the "Thunder." Their dimensions are :—Length between perpendiculars, 172 feet ; keel for tonnage, 146 feet ; extreme breadth, 43 feet 11 inches ; breadth of tonnage, 43 feet 5 inches ; moulded, 42 feet ; and depth, 14 feet. They are pierced upon one side only, and for sixteen guns. The frame work and deck will be of oak 8/ inches thick, and the massive plates of iron will be bolted to the outside of the batteries. They will have two decks, and will be propelled by the screw. The en tire weight of the iron plates for each battery will be nearly 400 tons, and the experiments recently made have proved that at 300 yards the heaviest shot will be shattered to pieces on coming into contact with the iron plates of these dimensions. It was stated that sixty of these batteries will be completed by the spring, thirty being furnished by Prance, and thirty by this country, and ready for operation at the opening of the navigation in the Baltic. LORD PALMERSTON IN PARIS.—To the surprise and mystification of people, the Emperor was seen on Satur day evening to draw up the cabriolet and pair of horses he is co fond of driving at the door of the Hotel Bristol, in thelPlace Vendome, alight, and enter mans cerentonie His Majesty was simply paying a visit to Lord and Lady Palmerston in the manner of a personal friend. This circumstance has, however, created a sensation, and inferences are drawn which may not after all be very unreasonable. It is concluded, in fact, that where such friendship exists there will be very unreserved communication, and that a perfect identity of views between the English and French Go vernments will be established between the Emperor and the only member of the British Cabinet who is worthy to deal with the great questions of foreign affairs and war. PROBLEM POB, MAJOR POWYB.—If you punish the soldier's widow for having been deserted by her hus band, then, if a soldier deserts his colours, ought you not to flog the regiment ?—Punch, THE BATTLE INKERNIAN. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM FIELD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. THE LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE. WAR DEPARTMENT. November 22, 1854, 91 a.m. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day reoeived a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. No. 96. Before Sebastopol, Nov. 8. My Lerd Duke,—l have the honour to report to your Grace that the army under my command, powerfully aided by the corps of observation of the Fre - neh army, under the command of that dis tinguished officer, General Bosquet, effectually repulsed and defeated a most vigorous and deter mined attack of the enemy on our position over looking the ruins of Inkerman, on the morning of the sth instant. In my letter to your Grace of the 3d, I in formed you that the enemy had considerably in. creased their force in the valley of the Tscher naya. The following day this augmentation was still further apparent, and large masses of troops had evidently arrived from the northward, and on two several occasions persons of distinguished rank were observed to have joined the Russian Camp. I have subsequently learnt that the 4th corps d'armee conveyed in carriages of the country, aud in the lightest possible order, had been brought from Moldavia, and were to be immediately fol lowed by the 3d corps. It was, therefore, to be expected that an ex tensive movement would not be long deferred. Accordingly, shortly before daylight, on the sth, strong columns of the enemy came upon the advanced picquets covering the right of the posi tion. These picquets behaved with admirable gallantly, defending the ground foot by foot against the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, until the 2nd Division, under Major-General Pen nefather, with its field guns, which had imme diately been got under arms, was placed. in position. The Light Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown, wa»s also brought to the front without loss of time ; the Ist Brigade, under Major-General Codrington, occupying the long slopes to the left towards Sebastopol, and pro tecting •ur right battery, and guarding against attack on that side, and the 2d Brigade, under Brigadier-General Buller, forming on the le ft of the 2d Division, with the 88th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffreys, thrown in advance. The Brigade of Guards, under his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge and Major-General Bentinck, proceeded likewise to the front, and took up most important ground to the extreme right on the alignement of the 2d Division, but separated from it by a deep and precipitc)us ravine, aid posting its guns with those of the 2d Division. The 4th Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir George Cathcart, having been brought from their encampment, advanced to the front and right of the attack, the Ist brigade, under :Bri gadier-General ,Goldie, proceeded to the left, of the Inkerman road ; the 2d brigade, under Bvi gadier-General Torrens, to the right of it, andl on the ridge overhanging the valley of the Tsc her naya. The 3d division, under Lieutenant-Gen er al Sir Richard England, occupied in part the ground vacated by the 4th division, and supported the light division by two regiments under Brigaolie r- General Sir John Campbell, while Brigadde r- General Eyre held the coramand of the troops; in the trenches. The morning was extremely dark with a driz zling rain, rendering it almost impossible to dis cover anything beyond the flash and smoke of artillery and heavy musketry fire. It, however, soon became evident that the enemy under cover of a vast cloud of skirmish,e) cs, supported by the dense columns of infantry, had advanced numerous batteries of large calibre! to the high ground to the left and front of the !2d Division, while powerful columns of infan try attacked with great vigour the Brigade of Guard s. Additional batteries of heavy artillery ware also placed by the enemy on the slopes to o'er left ; the guns in the field, amounting in the whole to 90 piece - 4, independently however of the ship guns and those in the works of Sebastopol. Protected by a tremendous fire of shot, sho:11, and grape, the Russian columns advanced in gr ei - Lt force, requiring every effort of gallantry on le part of our troops to resist them. At this time two battalions of French infant r,y, which had on the first notice been sent by Genc n. al Bosquet, joined our right, and very materb 1,1;!y contributed to the successful resistance to the at tack, cheering with our men, and charging the enemy down the hill with great loss. About the same time a determined assault w - as made on our extreme left, and for a moment the enemy possessed themselves of four of our ge tns, three of which were retaken by the 88th, w: hale the fourth was speedily recaptured by the 7', rt h Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton. In the opposite direction the Brigade of Guards, underhis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambric Igo, was engaged in a severe conflict. The enemy, under the cover of thick bru osl.- wood, advanced in two heavy bodies, and assaul t(3d with great determination a small redoubt wb ich had been constructed for two guns, but was ; mot armed. The combat was most arduous, and i ;:he Brigade, after displaying the utmost steadin Iss and gallantry was obliged to retire before v . (' ary superior numbers, until supported by a wing of the 20th Regiment of the 4th Division, when tl again advanced and retook the redoubt. This ground was afterwards occupied in galls ;it style by French troops, and the Guards speedily reforincd ha rear of the right hank of the Second Division. In the meanwhile, Lieutenant-General the Honourable Sir George Cathcart, with a few companies of the 68th Regiment, considering that he might make a strong impression by descending into the valley, and taking the enemy in flank, moved rapidly forward, but finding the heights above him in full occupation of the Russians, he suddenly discovered that ho was entangled with a superior force, and while attempting to with draw his men he received a mortal wound, shortly previously to which Brigadier-General Torrens, when leading the 68th, was likewise severely wounded. Subsequently to this the battle continued with unabated vigour and with no positive result, the enemy bringing upon our line not only the fire of all their field-batteries, but those in front of the works of the place, and the ship guns, till the afternoon, when the symptoms of giving way first became apparent ; and shortly after, although the fire did not cease, the retreat became general, and heavy masses were observed retiring over the bridge of the Inkerman, and as cending the opposite heights, abandoning on the field of battle five or six thousand dead and wounded, multitudes of the latter having already been carried off by them. I never before wit nessel such a spectacle as the field presented ; but upon this I will not dwell. Having submitted to your Grace this imperfect description of this most severe battle, I have still two duties to discharge, the one most gratifying, the last most painful to my feelings. I have the greatest satisfaction in drawing your Grace's attention to the brilliant conduct of the Allied Troops. French and English vied with each other in displaying their gallantry and mani festing their zealous devotion to duty, notwith standing that they had to contend against an in finitely superior force, and were exposed for many hours to a most galling fire. It should be borne in mind that they have daily for several weeks undergone the most oonstant labour, and that many of them passed the previous night in the trenches. I will not attempt to enter into the detail of the movements of the French troops lest I should not state them correctly ; but I am proud of the opportunity of bearing testimony to their valour and energetic services, and of paying a tribute of admiration to the distinguished conduct of their immediate Commander, General Bosquet ; while it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to place upon record my deep sense of the valuable assist ance I received from the Commander-in-Chief, General Caurobert, who was himself on the ground and in constant communication with me, and whose cordial co-operation on all occasions I can not too highly extol. Your Grace will recollect that he was wounded at the Alma. He was again - wounded on the stb, but I should hope that he will not long feel the effects of it. I will in a subsequent despatch lay before your Grace the names of the officers whose services have been brought to my notice. I will not detain the mail for that purpose now, but I cannot delay to report the admirable be haviour of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, who was unfortunately shot through the arm, but i 3 doing well ; of Lieutenant-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who particu larly distinguished himself ; and of Major-General Pennefather in command of the Second Division, which received the first attack, and gallantly maintained itself under the greatest difficulties throughout this protracted conflict ; of Major- General Bentinck, who is severely wounded ; Major-General Codrington, Brigadier-General Adams, and Brigadier-General Torrens, who are severely wounded; and Brigadier-General Buller, who is also wounded, but not so seriously. I must likewise express my obligations to Lieu tenant-General Sir Richard England for the - ex cellent disposition he made of his division, and the assistance he rendered to the left of the light division, where Brigadier-General Sir John Camp bell was judiciously placed, and effectively sup ported Major-General Codrington ; and I have great pleasure in stating that Brigadier-General Eyre was employed in the important duty of gUarding the trenches from any assault from the town. Lieutenant-General. Sir De Lacy Evans, who had been obliged by severe indisposition to go on board ship a few days previously, left his bed as soon as he received intelligence of the attack, and was promptly at his post, and though ho did not feel well enough to take the command of the divi sion out of the hands of Major-General Penne father, he did not foil to give him his best ad vice and assistance. It is deeply distressing to me to have to submit to your Grace the list of the killed, wounded, and missing on this memorable occasion. It is indeed heavy, and very many valuable officers and men have been lost to her Majesty's service. Among the killed your Grace will find the names of Lieutenant-General the Honourable Sir G. Cathcart, Brigadier-General Strangwaye, and Brigadier-General Goldie. Of the services of the first it is almost unneces sary to speak. They are known throughout the British empire, and have within a short space of time been brought conspicuously before the country by his achievements at the Cape of Good Hope, whence he had only just returned when ho was ordered to this army. By his death her Majesty has been deprived of a most devoted servant, an officer of the highest merit, while I personally have to deplore the loss of an attached and faithful friend. Brigadier-General Strangways was known to have distinguished himself in early life, and in mature ago throughout a long service he main tained the same character. The mode in which he had conducted the com mand of the Artillery, since it was placed in his hands by the departure through illness of Major- General Cator, is entitled to my entire approba tion, and was equally agreeable to those who were confided to his care. Brigadier-General Goldie was an officer of considerable promise, and gave great satisfaction to all under whom he has served. It is difficult to arrive at any positive conclu sion as to tho actual numbers brought into the field by the enemy - . The configuration of the ground did not admit of any great development of their force, the attack, c ons i s ti ng of a system of reputed assaults in heavy masses of columns ; but judging from the numbers that were seen in the plain after they lied withdrawn in retreat, I am led to suppose that they could not have been less than sixty thousand men. Their loss was excessive, and it is calculated that they left on the field nearly live thousand dead, and that their casualties amount in the whole, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, to not less than 15,000. Your Grace will be surprised to learn that the number of British Troops actually engaged little exceeded 8,000 men, while those of General Bosquet's division only amounted to 6,000, the remaining available French +roops on the spot having been kept in reserve. I ought to mention, that while the enemy wa,3 attacking our right, they assailed the left of the French trenches, and actually got into two of their batteries ; but they were quickly driven out in the most gallant manner with considerable loss, and hotly pursued to the very walls of Sebastopol. I have, &c. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &C. RAGLAN. RETURN OF CASUALTIES ON THE sni Nov.
