THE BATTLE BALAKLAVA. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL LORD RAGLAN. LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. (FROM LAST EVENING'S GAZETTE.) War Department, November, 17, 1854. 122- o'clock Afternoon. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has to-day re ceived three despatches and enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his grace by General the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. No. 93. Before Sebastopol, Oct. 31, 1854. My Lord Duke, —Adverting to that part of your Grace's despatch of the 10th instant, No. 116, in which it is stated that her Majesty will be most anxious to receive such further accounts from me as may tend to relieve the affectionate anxiety of the friends of the wounded, I have the honour to acquaint your Grace that the Inspector-General of Hospitals has reported, from personal observation, that the majority of the wounded are making atisfactory progress, although there is too much reason to apprehend that among such a number of severe and dangerous injuries a certain proportion of casualties must occur. I have, &c., RAGLAN. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c. &c. &c. No. 94. My Lord Duke, Before Sebastopol, October, 31, 1854. When I wrote to your Grace on the 28th inst., I was not in possession of the names of the officers of the Cavalry Division who had distinguished themselves in the action of the 25th. I have now the honour to inclose a letter from Lieut.-General the Earl of Lucan, containing the list of those whose services entitle them to he specially mentioned, and I beg leave to recommend them to your Grace's notice. In the despatch to which I above refer, I had the honour to draw your Grace's attention to the conduct of Major-General the Earl of Cardigan. and the Hon. Brigadier-General Scarlett. I omitted in my despatch of the 28th Sep tember to state, that when, in the battle of the Alma, Lieutenant-Colonel Webber Smith was obliged, in consequence of being severely wound ed, to leave the field, Major Champion assumed the charge of the 95th, which your Grace will recollect was one of the regiments that suffered the most ; and he gained great credit by the way in which he conducted the command. I am glad of the opportunity to repair this omission. I stated to your Grace on the 28th instant that Major Dalton, of the 49th, had been killed in the trenches ; this was au error, the officer whose loss the service has to deplore is Major Powell, of the same regiment. I deeply regret that this mis take should hare occurred.—l have, d,,,.c., RAGLAN. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c. Enclosure in Despatch No. 94. Before Sebastopol, October 30, 1851. Sir, In reference to my report of the action before Balaklava, on the 25th instant, I have now the honour to submit the names of officers who, on that occasion, well entitled themselves to the notice of the Commander of the Forces, and for whom I seek his Excellency's kind protection:— Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, Com manding Light Cavalry Brigade ; Brigadier-Gene ral Scarlett, Commanding Heavy Brigade ; Colonel Lord George Paget, Commanding 4th Light Dragoons; Lieutenant-Colonel Shewell, Command ing Bth Hussars ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hodge, Commanding 4th Dragoon Guards ; Lieutenant- Colonel Griffiths, Commanding 2nd Scots Greys ; Lieutenant-Colonel York; Commanding Ist Royal Dragoons ; Lieutenant-Colonel White, Commanding 6th Enniskilling Dragoons ; Lieu tenant-Colonel Douglas, Commanding 11th Hus sars ; Captain Jenyns, Commanding 13th Light Dragoons, Captain Morris, Commanding 17th Lancers ; Captain Burton, Commanding sth Dragoon Guards ; Captain Maude, Royal Horse Artillery ; Colonel Lord William Paulet, Assist ant Adjutant-General, Cavalry Division ; Lieu tenant-Colonel Mayow, Brigade Major, Light Cavalry Brigade ; Major McMahon, Assistant Quartermaster-General, Cavalry Division ; Cap tain Conolly, Brigade Major, Heavy Brigade ; Captain B.

Before Sebastopol, November 3, 1854 My Lord Duke,—Since I wrote to your Grace, on the 28th ultimo, the enemy have considerably increased their force in the Valley of the Chernaya, both in artillery, cavalry, and infantry, and have extended to their left, not only occupying the village of Camara, but the heights beyond it, and pushing forward pickets and even guns towards our ex treme right ; and these yesterday fired a few shots, apparently to try the range, which fell somewhat short. These movements have induced me to place as strong a force as I can dispose of on the preci pitous ridge in that direction, in order to prevent any attempt to get round to Balaklava by the sea ; and the whole line is strengthened by a breastwork, • which has been thrown up by the Highland Brigade, the Royal Marines, and the Turkish troops, thus circumscribing that part of the position ; whilst immediately in front of the gorge leading into the town a strong redoubt is in course of being com pleted, which is to be garrisoned by the 93rd Regiment, and armed with several guns ; and on high ground behind, and to the left, is a battery manned by seamen, which terminates the position to be defended by the troops under the command of Major General Sir Colin Campbell. Further to the left, and in a more elevated position, is the Brigade of the Ist French Divi sion, commanded by General Vinois, ready to move to the assistance of any of the British Force that may be assailed, and maintaining the con nection between the troops in the valley and those on the ridge on which the main armies are posted. The harbour of Balaklava is under the charge of Captain Dacres of the SAnspareil, and Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons is in the roadsted, outside, and is in daily communication with me. Thus every possible step has been taken to secure this important point, but I will not conceal from your Grace that I should be more satisfied if I could have occupied the position in consider ably greater strength. With reference totlie operations of the combined armies, engaged in the attack on Sebastopol, I have the honour to state that there is no material diminution in the enemy's fire, and yesterday orning) two Ileum before daylight, the canuoneide TELE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 18b4. from all parts of the south front was heavy in the extreme, both on the French and British lines, and it occasioned, I deeply regret to say, some loss, but less than might have been expected under the circumstances. In the meanwhile the French, who have before them the town and real body of the place, have taken advantage of the more favourable ground, and are carrying on approaches systematically on the most salient and commanding part of the enemy's lines ; and they have constructed and opened batteries, the precision.of the fire from which has most materially damaged the Russian works, although as yet they have not succeeded in silencing their guns. The weather is still fine, but it has become ex tremely coil, and there was a severe frost last night. I beg to submit to your Grace the nominal returns of casualties amongst the non-commis sioned officers and rank and filo from the 22nd October to the Ist November, both days inclusive, and a list of officers killed and wounded between the 27th October and Ist November. Captain Maude, of the Horse Artillery, an ex cellent officer, is, I am assured, doing well. I likewise enclose the naval return of casualties. I have, ac., RAGLAN.

After the despatch of my letter to-day, I learnt that Captain Fellowes, aide-de-camp, had been sent in with a flag of truce to the Russian camp on the Chernayn, to ascertain the parti cu l ars of o u r l oss an d t o commun icate with our wounded and captive officers, if the Russians would allow hint to do so. Somewhat injudiciously, perhaps, he was also authorised to demand permission that we might bury the dead who might have been left in front of the Russian lines. It was imagined that the enemy had not performed this duty, as many bodies could be seen lying unburied on the field, and it is not certain that those who fancied they saw those bodies were not qu it e right. Captain Fellowes went in, attended by a trumpeter, with a flag of truce, and Mr. Manassion, an Armenian, attached as interpreter to the head-quarters staff. The trumpeter blew a blast from time to time as he rode on, and when the little party approached the lines of the Russians, and passed through the fatal field where so many of our poor fel lows had been mowed down by the deadly artillery of the enemy, two Russian officers, accompanied by two Cossack Lancers, rode forward to meet them. The Russians, both of whom spoke French, asked what the object of the flag of truce was I They were told that Lord Raglan had sent in to ascertain what officers of our cavalry were alive in the hands of the Russians, and to receive any letters they might be allowed to forward to their countrymen. One of the Russian officers said, " You will be good enough to turn round, for you can not approach our camp so near. This is au affair for the General to deal with, and I shall commu n icate with bias." He role away, an d the remaining Russian and his two Coscaelts, having seen that the English officer and his followers turned round so as to have their backs to the vamp, begged of them to advance still further, so as to recede from the Russian lines, and then accompanied them slowly back with his Cossacks, watching carefully that none of th e p ar t y move d h i s head over his shoulder. They saw as they rode back that some of the dead horses had large pieces cut out of thevi to furnish food for the Cossacks. Indeed tlat is not wonderful, as the Zouaves, in sonic instances, have cut choice steaks of horseflesh from the bodies of the fatter quadrupeds killed in action, and they pronounce them to be excel lent. In a few moments an elderly officer, accompanied by a s!rall staff, and attended - by the Thiseiart who had ridden to iieck him, rode towards their dank, and, in a gruff, harsh voice, exclaim e d "J e suis ge neral en chef ici ; rine vouiez vouz e.ea i - h4i Messieurs It is supposed that he announced his position in order to prevent Captain Fellowes asking his name, or demand ing inforwtion Ati to the title of tie pejo/1171w ad. dressed him. Captain Fellowes explained the object of his mission, and when he came to the portion of his message referring to the permission for burying the dead, the Russian General, in a tone of great indignation ex claimed, "We have buried the dead. Tell my Lord Raglan that we are Christians, and, though we make war, we perform all the duties of Christians The dead are buried. The wounded are taken care of." The Rus sian General them received two letters, supposed to con tain money and keys, which Captain Fellowes had been charged with from two Russian officers in our hands. He took out his glasses to read the direction, and as he did so fur the first time he deigned to bestow a quick sharp glance over the rim at the officer who addressed him. Finally, he declared he did not know the names of the officers in the hands of his troops, but said that if Cap tain Fellowes returned to-morrow he would communi cate with him—that he would ascertain their names, and would have any letters they might wish to transmit conveyed to him for delivery. His tone became more' courteous towards the close of the interview, and as Captain Fellovvio retired the General said, " Vous m'ex cuserez si je vows dise que votre attaque de 25ine ut kit une attaque bête, parka selon la loi militaire," or words to that effect. Captain Fellowes bowed and re tired. We hoar there are only three officers of ours alve In th:ir hands. To-morrow will telt more. THE CAVALRY-THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S DESPATCH. Today our cavalry abandoned their old camp. They have taken up ground on the hills on the road to Bala• klava, close to the rear of the French centre. We have thus abandoned the lower road to the enemy ; and there is a rumour that two of our officers, coming out to-night from Balaklava, on the lower road, in ignorance of this withdrawal, have been taken prisoners. To-day 1,600 Turks arrived. They are to he used in assist ing us and the French in tile trenches. Our cavalry, I am glad to say, have not been cut up as much as was supposed, for many of them have turned up since the 25th. The way in which the stampede among the Russian horses, on the night of the 27th, is accounted for is, that a rocket was fired by us into their cavalry camp, and that all the Russian horses broke away. Many of them, accustomed to the station of the monastery of St. George, galloped over in the direction of our lines, and were captured. A well-written and graceful despatch, received from the Duke of Newcastle, has given great satisfaction to the officers and men of sue army. It does full justice to their noble courage at the Alma, singles out Sir George Brown and Admiral Lyons for special praise, and pays a courtly and honest compliment to Lord Raglan. Our cavalry are now close to the camp of the Chasseur d'Afrique, and the men fra ternise as much as they possibly can, through the mode rate medium of water and wood—our two great luxuries and necessaries out here just at present. We are expecting great supplies of coal from Hera clea. It will soon be indispensable, for the trees and shrubs in the valleys are nearly all cut down. At pre sent we have coal enough to heat our shot, and make them " red hot." Voila tout ! Lord Dunkellin has been sent to Moscow on his way to St. Petersburg. THE RUSSIAN CAVALRY. The Russian cavalry had three rations of spirits served out to each man ere they made the attempt at a charge which met with such signal chastisement at the hands of -the Heavy Brigade. They were also blessed by a priest. Our swords, however, were not blunted, nor our speed stayed in the charge, by the holy man. To night there is the usual thud ! thud ! thud ! from the Russian batteries at 9 o'clock. They are evidently getting frightened at our "drawing in" upon them ; but cannon shot cannot break the deadly coil of our folds of riflemen. OUR MISSING OFFICERS AND MEN. October 29.—The hope - ; entertainei so fondly that a considerable number of our missing officers ware in the hands of the Russians as captives have been rudely de stroyed to-day by the result of Captain Fellov% es' mis sion to their camp. Of non-commissioned officers and privates they have 58 prisoners, of whom 15 only are not wounded. It follows that our actual loss in killed on the field in that fatal charge amounts to 108 men and 11 officers. The 15 men who are unwounded were allof them dismounted by the enemy's shot. It is added that the officer who received Capt. Fellowes expressed his opinion that our attack was a "charge; des fous." Very com plimentary, certainly CUPIDITY OF THE COSSACKS. There is too much reason to believe that the gay jackets and rich trappings of our Light horsemen—privates and officers—excited the cupidity of the Cossacks, who did not scruple to kill the wounded as they lay on the ground for the sake of their uniforms. They knew that they would not be allowed to take the clothes of the men who were alive, and so, more Tartarico, they made short work of it. "Do you see that," exclaimed a Russian officer to one of ours, pointing, as he did so, to the gold cord of a shako ? " Yes." " Well, I can tell you one of our Cos sacks would ride 100 miles to get hold of such a pretty looking thing." How much easier would be the task of lancing the men who lay on the ground close at hand to them l THE RUSSIAN BATTERIES. To-day the fire on our lines was very slack, but it is observed that the Russians are working hard at fresh lines nearer to the town, and it is probable they have withdrawn a portion of their men from the guns to assist at the works, which are designed to check no whenever the assault takes place. At present we are all waiting for the French. lam not sure but that the French think they are waiting for us to "ecraser" some of the obnoxious batteries which play upon their works . from ugly enfilading positions. They certainly are ex posed in their advance towards their portion of the town to very heavy fire. It is opposite to them that the assault must be made, and the first lodgment effected. The Quarantine Fort is opposed to them on their extreme left. Then comes a long, high, loepholed wall or curtain extending in front of the town from the back of the Quarantine Fort to the Flagstaff Battery. The Russians have thrown up a very deep and broad ditch in front of this wall, and the French artillery have as yet made no im pression on the stonework at the back. The Flag staff Battery, however, and all the houses near it are in ruins, but the earthworks in front of it, armed with at least 20 heavy guns, are untouched, and keep up a harassing fire on the French work ing parties, particularly at certain periods of the day, and at the interval between 9 and 11 o'clock at night, when they think the men are being relieved in the trenches. Inside the Road Battery we can I see the Russians throwing up a new work, armed with six heavy ships' guns. They have also erected new batteries behind the Reds and behind the Round Tower. The latter is now a mass of crumbled stone, but two guns keep obstinately blazing away at our 21-gun battery from the angle of the earthwork I around it, and the Redan has not yet been silenced, though the 4 inbrazures and angles of the work are I much damaged. NVIZISTLINet DICK. The heavy frigate which has been " dodging " our batteries so cleverly gave us a taste of her quality in the right attack again to-day. She escaped from the position in which she lay before, where we had laid two 24-pounders for her, and came out again to-day in a great passion, firing regular broadsides at out battery, and sweeping the hill up to it completely. Occa sionally she varied this amusement with a round or two front 13-inch mortars. These shells have done our works and guns much damage ; but the sailors, who are principally treated to these agreeable missiles, have got quite accustomed to them. " Bill," cries one fellow to another, "lo ok out, here comes ' Whistling Dick " 13-inch shell has been thus baptized by them in consequence of the loudness and shrillness of the noise it makes in the air. They all look up, and their keen quick eyes discern the globe of iron as it de• scribes its curve aloft. Long ere " Whistling Dick" has reached the ground the blue jackets are snug in their various biding-places, but all the power of men cannot keep them from peeping out now and then to see if the fuqe is still burning. One of them the other day approached a shell which he thought had " gone out ;" it burst just a s he got c i lese to it, and the coneus sion dashed him to the ground. He got up, and in his rage, shaking his fist at the spot where the shell had been, he exclaimed, " Yen --- deceitful beggar, there's a trick to play me l" Our losses continue to be remark ably slight. SIR C. CAMPBELL AND THE TURKS. Poor Sir Colin Campbell is very indignant at having some SOO Turks placed under his command. Ho will not have them at any price. •In the most vigorous terms be repudiates the charge, and declares he has no confi dence in them. It must be observed, iu justice to Sir Colin, that before the catastrophe of Balaklava ho had strongly represented the insecurity of his position, and had demanded reinforcements. His contempt for the Turks was too well founded, and now he is annoyed at having the men who ran away under his control. The Highland Brigade is now moved down to strengthen him, and the Marines have been reinforced on the heights. ACCIDTiNT TO SIR D. L. EVANS. OCTOBER 30.—Sir De Lacy Evans met with an acci dent yesterday, which will compel him to resign the command he has so ably held to Brigadier-General Pennefather for a few days. His horse fell with him as he was going at a sharp trot ; and, as the General bad been suffering from diarrhoea for some days before the shock so weakened him that he has been obliged to go down to Balak.lava and get on board the Sinioom. The whole army hope that his illness will be of short duration, and that he will soon be with them once more THIS " BONO JOHNNIICS. " The Turks, or, as they are now universally called, the " Bono Johnnies," except by the sailors, who call them "No bono Johnnies," have been employed for the bet few nights in working in the trenches, and have done good service. The first night they set to work in Captain Chapman's attack they worked on manfully till 10 o'clock at night, when a Russian shell came over them. Th e y at once shouted out " We shall all be killed !" and ran off as fast as they could, carrying off a portion of our working and covering parties with them. Hew ever, they were at last re-formed and brought back, and then they worked on till 11 o'clock, when they declared that it was " the will of Heaven they should labour no snore that night," and, as they had really exerted themselves, it was considered advisable to let them go. They remained quietly in the trenches, and ever since they have been labouring regularly, repairing damages and casting up earthworks, which they do ex ceedingly well. The poor creatures are decimated by dysentery, fevers — t he t yp hus particularly, and by diarrhma, and die in swarms. Nothing can exceed their kindness to theirown sick. It is common to see strings of them on the road to Balaklava carrying sick and dying men on their backs down to the miserable shed w hich serves theta as an hospital, or rather as " dead house." A CORP.E,SPONDENT'S MISTAKE, OU 100 king ray owa acwou - at of the haite of iho Alma, w hi c h was written literally on the field—part of it while expose d to a broiling sun, the morning after the a ction, oal the grass, tho p: - Keu air (for tote were rare coverings then, and all that were on the heights were crowded)—part while exposed to an incessant fire of small talk in a tent full of excited and garrulous officers, I find I have made mistakes which I confess without a blush, and which, I trust, are excusable under the circum stances in which I was placed, especially when it is con sidered that the undertaking, under the most favourable conditions, is not an easy one. For instance, Lord Raglan and staff did not cross the stream by the bridge. It had been destroyed by the enemy and was impassable till repairei by the exertions of Captain Montagu and his Sappers. Nor did the Highlanders "take" the battery which dealt such destruction upon us. As I saw their advance, their bonnets mingled with the bear skins of the Russians, they appeared to have got into the Guards battery, but the fact is, their line was con siderably to the left of the line of the Guards, and the left of the Guards extended beyond the front of the bat tery, so as to tum its right flank. The march of the Highlanders took place up the other slope of the hill, and it was their firm appearance, together with the tremendous volleys the three regiments poured into the Russian infantry on their flank, which produced such an effect on the Russians. The Highlanders, as will be seen by the returns, were exposed to very little fire scarcely any of the enemy's guns bore upon them, and their advance was too rapid to allow the Russians " to take their measure" for practice. Thera is no doubt the Light Division, the 7th, 23d, 33d, and 19th firt, carried the battery opposed to them. A man of the 7th rushed in and bayoneted two men in side the earthworks, when the regiment was obliged to re-form. Colonel Yea made him a serjeant on the spot A man of the 331 chalked the number of his regiment on one of the guns which was subsequently taken by the Grenadier Guards, and I understand the gun has been given up to the former regiment. Men of the 7th, 33d, 23d, and 55th were all inside the battery at one time or other ere the Russians were finally bro ken. Major-General Codrington, who led his brigade of the Light Division in a manner beyond all praise, was twice within the earthwork of t he batter y . Ergo, he must at one time have been driven bads along with his men. Indeed I saw the Russians coming out of the battery and actually charging the Light Division, which was broken up into clumps of men firing inde pendently on the enemy, and huddled together round their officers ; but they never crossed bayonets, except perhaps in one or two instances, when some of them olosed with the 55th, and they all dearly repented their temerity. The 30th, 55th, and 95th did their duty equally well ; no officers or men ever behaved better, and it was perhaps erroneous to have said that the 19th, that Brigadier-General Codrington's brigade of the Light Division, or that Brigadier-General Pennefather's brigade of the Second Division ever "retired," as it is asserted that there wore some men of the regiments forming these brigades who never receded a step. They certainly never turned their backs on the enemy—not one of them faced about. Mr. Markham shot two with his revolver and woundeir, another, and the greater part if them werkeithglill ga ** or taken prisoners. Zah : - - - _ THE LATEST ON DIT. The officers of the army here by no means lead that life of luxury which some of the fast generation at home say that young men of the present time cannot do without ; except a few fortunate ones, who may possess . a bedstead or indiarubber bed, all sleep in their clothes on the ground, with a blanket or two to corer them. They have certainly tents but the nights are bitterly sold, especially when the wind is north, m it now is. It is impossible to say when Sebastopol will be taken. I hear that we are waiting for the French, who are mining at the Quarantine-ground, near the sea. When they are ready we are to make a false attack, while they spring the mines and rush in. Such is the on dit. For the present I finish. REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CRIMEA. We are informed that it has been resolved not to send the Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards to the Crimea. Large drafts from the battalions left in London embark at once, and will be followed by others as fast as the men can be obtained. This is considered better than sending another battalion. A detachment of Artillery, consisting of 5 officers and 145 men, arrived in Liverpool from Woolwich yes terday morning at 4 a.m. They will be despatched for the seat of war this day (Saturday), per the Europa steamer, which will also call at Kingstown to take on board the 90th Regiment, consisting of 3 field-officers, 3 captains, 15 subalterns, 57 servants, and 821 rank and file. The following are the numbers of the troops and the officers who embarked in the Cleopatra at Cork for the Crimea :-21st Fusiliers-2 sergeants and 120 privates. 30th Regiment -2 officers (Captain Robert Dillon and Ensign Alfred John Austin,) 1 sergeant, and 50 pri vates. 33rd Regiment -1 officer (Ensign Langford R. Heyland,) 1 sergeant, and GO privates. 47th Regiment —1 sergeant and 52 privates. 50th Regiment--1 officer (Ensign Thomas D. Lee,) 2 sergeants, and 73 rank and file. 55th Regiment-1 officer (Lieutenant J. G. Echalaz,) 1 sergeant, and 127 rank and file. 68th Reg iment -1 officer (Ensign Fra. De L. Saunderson,) 1 sergeant, and 25 privates. Total-6 officers, 9 ser geants, and 503 rank and file. In addition to the above there are on board the Cleopatra 2 officers and 51 mom of the 42d, and 2 officers and 40 men of the 93d High. landers, embarked at Liverpool. Second-class Staff Surgeon Donnell is in medical charge of the troops. PROGRESS OF THE SIEGE. The siege went on to-day as it has gone on for the last two or three days. The Russians in our rear are fortifying their position. Thus it appears that we are rapid'y Le.:oming " invested" by the Russians. In fact, they are besieging us just as much as we are besieging them. They have the north and the north-east side of Sebastopol open to them, as we the sea from Balakla,va and Cherson open to us. They have put heavy guns on the redoubts and on the hills over their cavalry lines ; we in turn aro making a number of " trous-cle-loop" and pitfalls all along the approaches to Ba)aklava ; so as to prevent any rapid dash of their cavalry. Trous-de-loup are merely deep holes, in which men can lie and scramble in and out, but which are too broad and deep for a mounted man to cross. Captain Powell, of the Vesuvius, and his blue-jackets and Marines are busy throwing up a redoubt on Cie right-hand side of the road. They are all under canvass. The Turks, the French, and the marines of our fleet are indefatigable in casting up every kind of obstructive earthwork in front of the town. RUSSIAN PRECAUTIONS IN SEBtSTOPOL. With our glasses we can see that the doors and window-frames of most of the houses have been re moved ; and it is not improbable that the wooden floor 4 and othtr parts of the buildings which could have been set on fire have been taken away also. The silence of the Russians to-day is accounted for by the fact that they are throwing up new works in the town. There is a rumour to-day that Osten-Sacken has arrived, and that the army of Gortschakoff received considerable reinforcements. They sung Te Deum on the night of the 25th " for their victory," and the troops were so excited that they demanded to be led against us the fol lowing morning. The 2d Division soon satisfied them in full. THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. Nov. 2.—The Turkish contingent is now broken up and distributed throughout the whole camp, both Eng lish and French, and they have since been placed to do what they are most fitted for, viz., digging in the trenches, which gives relief to our own men, who are greatly over•werked. John Turk is by ne means an in dustrious labourer in the trenches ; ke digs a few minutes, gives a grunt, an 4 then sits down. A very vehement and zealons commanding officer of a distin guished Fusilier corps was the other night in the trenches when the Tullis were digging ; and, seeing one rather more idle than the rest, gesticulated violently at him, and induced him to work a little. Johnny, however,. soon gave in, and on the pantomimic action being re peated very politely handed his spade to the colonel. THE MEDIUM OF SALUTATION. Between the three allied armies the mystic word " Bono" appears to be the great medium of salutation. An English soldier and a French soldier meet; perhaps the former commences with " Bono Francis," and the answer is " Bone Anglin." With a Turk it is " Bono Johnny." Each seems to think it to be the language of the other. An hour or two ago I was standing in a redoubt with a lot of officers, looking at Sebastopol, when a Turkish colonel rode up, followed by an orderly. None of us could speak Turkish, the only language he know ; so he said " Bone," and we repeated it. TYE SORTIE-3IENSCHIKOFF "FINISHING" nig INFANTRY. I happened to be with the Second Division on the 2Gth when the order was given for them to turn out and stand to their arms. On our side it was a sudden and unexpected attack until a few minutes beforehand. A lot of officers were standing on an emi nence, looking down upon the skirmishers on both sides, having no idea that a powerful sortie was about to be made, when they saw some guns on an opposite ridge, to the right, about 1,000 yards distant. No one had the least suwiciou as to what they were, when some cue, 'Asking through a glass, said, "Green gunq, by Jove ! " and all bolted. (The Russian gun-carriages are painted pea green.) In two minutes more the round shot began to sing overhead, and the sharp sound of musketry from the pickets showed that some sharp fighting was going on. The pickets were under the command of Major Champion, of the 95th. They behaved admirably, and, although compelled to retire, did so in excellent order, and kept the Russians in check until our artillery got to work. I saw three immense Russian columns cross the ridge I have just spoken of. As soon xs our gunners got the range they sent a storm of rockets, shot, and shell into them, and the columns literally melted away. Our infantry then advanced, firing ; and the Russians retreated, and were followed by some of our skirmishers nearly down to the walls of Sebastopol. The Second Division, under Sir De Lacy Evans, was the only one engaged. Tho Duke of Cambridge, with the Guards, was in reserve. Other divisions were coming up, and, had the action lasted longer, would have come in for it. Two officers were taken prisoners. From what they said it appears that in the morning, Mensehikotf assem bled the troops in Sebastopol, told then of the great victory obtained over the English the day before at Balaklava, that the English cavalry was de stroyed, and that the infantry only required finishing ; whereupon they demanded to be led against the English. As I was on the ground from first to last, and had nothing to do except look about me, yon may depend upon my account being correct. It is very much the fashion to say that the Russians must have lost so many, and, I am afraid, in general, rather to overrate their losses, so I will give the losses of both sides as far as can be correctly ascertained :-- THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Our loss was 12 killed, and 71, including five officers, wounded, all of the Second Division. We took 100 pri soners ; 112 bodies were buried by us, and we know of many more lying beyond our position, so far away that the burying parties would be under the fire of the guns of Sebastopol. The usual proportion of men wounded to the killed is about 5 to 1, which will make their loss upwards of GOO ; of course, they carried a great quantity of both back with them to the fortress. THE EFFECTS OF THII MINIE IITLE. It is remarkable that the wounded Russians brought in had nearly all received their wounds from the Mime rifles. Our conical balls cause frightful wounds ; when ever they touch a limb they smash the bone. THE DRESS OF THE RUSSIAN OFFICERS. Officers and men - `sere dressed alike, in long grey greatcoats and high cloth caps. They are very difficult to see in the thick brushwood which growl all about ; indeed, singly, they are as invisible as a rabbit in dried fern. I examined many of the dead ; some we re l y ing in pools of blood, their faces looking like wax. Every man had a large piece of bread with him—black, sour, and half•baked ; one had a Russian Pray er -book, which I have appropriated as a memento. Their firelocks are of a very inferior sort ; thry are dated 1834, and have been converted from flint to percussion. SIR E. LIONS. I hear that after the melancholy affair of the 25th i. was in contemplation to abandon the place, but Sir E. Lyons would not hear of it, and ack declared that lie than it should be given up. In his line ho is the life and soul of the expedition. The Agamemnonis now off Bala klava, and the Sauspareil is moor ed in the harbour, arid s maller steamers are inconstant communication between it and the fleet. All the transports which formerly cr owded the little harbour have been cleared out, and ar e now anchored outside. H A ASTY MEAT,. I must now relate a little incident which occurred on the 26th, and which I for g ot to me ntion in its prop e r place. When the Russians made their sortie a number of their skirmishers advanced towards our right battery, small t a l l i l e c L a l v tn e ca n s o t t er f gun s, and a number of lr off, where it not tr beingineu it : h • e e' r \u' e hl i i gc n oh t t l al i ne l t i ot a: a i o t of cooking their .,. nd batted. ofthe Sir w T ..

LIVERPOOL, Friday.—The agents for the British and North American Thyal Mail Steam-ship Company, Messrs. D. and C. M'lver, received a telegraphic de spatch from the Admiralty this morning, announcing that Government required the services of the steam-ship Niagara, expected from Boston on Sunday, for the con veyance of troops to the Crimea. Owing to the arrange ment an interruption in the mail service to America will take place, and the usual mails will not be forwarded on the 25th inst., but will be delayed until the 29th inst., and will be despatched in the United mail steam-ship Pacific on that day fir New York. The Niagara wa,, th e first vessel which sailed from this port in the early part of the year with troops for the East. The Canadian steamer Charity is at present fitting up for the convey ance of troops in Birkenhead Dock. Notices are posted in the Exchange and Underwriters' Rooms requiring tenders immediately for steamers to convey troops. SOUTHAMPTON, Friday.—The Tamar (paddle), belong. ing to the Royal Mail Company, has been chartered by Government for the conveyance of troops. She returned yesterday with the West India and Pacific mails, and will be got ready for sea as quickly as possible. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Nubia, which is expected to arrive on Monday from Alexandria, will sail on Wednesday under a similar contract. Each of these fine steamers can with ease convey 1,200 in fantry to the Crimea, and they are to carry 15 horses each for officers. It is expected, however, that about 4,000 troops will be sent on board them. Captain Engledue, the able naval superintendent of the company, leaves London for Toulon this morning, to ensure the best arrangements for the embarkation of the soldiers. THE LATE GENERALS CATHCART AND ST.RANGIVAYS. War is in all things hazardous, capricious, and cruel, disappointing expectations, shifting the scene, varying the parts, and changing the fortunes. In no point does it baffle the fond expectations of man so much as in its choice of victims. It is proverbial that the best are taken tie first, and that those great souls which we vainly count upon as an enduring property fleeb first to their home in the skies. This has been so in a thousand .. - lingering strifes between faction and faction, between people and people ; yet again we choose our favourite. from the crowd, and in our forward thoughts picture him the hero of many a future field—perhaps as the very man whose fresh powers and unexhansted fortunes are to preside over the last victorious hour. It was but the other day that Cathcart returned from the Cape, where he had brought a difficult war to a wise and honourable conclusion, to assume the high post of Adjutant-General. His claims had been warmly contested, on some grounds or other, but the result showed that ho was the last man to care for office, when he could serve his country in the field. Others thought it a waste of power that a man fit for the first command should go out merely as General of a Division. However, on his re turn to England, he went out straight to the Black Sea, and landed in the Crimea in the same tattered uniform that he had worn through the Caffre war. Everybody looked upon him as the masa who, being only a year or two over sixty, and possess ing all the activity, geaius, and endurance of youth,. might some day have the command-in-chief. In his youth he had served on the staff at Leipsic and most of the great battles at the conclusion of the war. He had been at Waterloo, he had contributed materially to put down the Canadian rebellion, and had wound up the Caffre war. He was that rare and precious character in the British service—a soldier devoted to the science and experienced in the practice of his profession. There was nothing that might not be expected from him, and, with each as he to fall back on, there was no fear that the army would ever be at a loss for commanders. He now lies, one of thousands, slain by a chance bullet in the tempest of war. One other of the three Generals slain we cannot help recurring to again. About a week ago 1 we nhanced to insert separately a record of the services of General Strangways. This is seldom done, except on the occasion of an appointment or after death, and some of our readers concluded from its appearance that the subject of it had fallen in the war. As it happened he had fallen, and the accidental publication of his services in that form was but the shadow of an event then past, d bn re t a n m o t t ywehtenknwo published th w e nintliiscoune ervtrysic.eare ftaoinl; General welite leading a division in the Crimea that it was, in fact, his obituary.—Times.
