v etßie7,l7nßeNar OKPidAdCerßmliltuEislieNr,rlwEaßs agreeably°•—Th
repose, at a late hour on Saturday evening, by hearty demon-
strationsits of congratulation and welcome, on the return of
Capt. Brown Westhead, eldest son of J. P. Brown Westhead,
Esq., (late M.P. for Knaresborough), from the Crimea. Tid-
ings of the gallant captain's approaching arrival were no
sooner received than the church bells pealed forth merrily, and
a large body of stalwart countrymen spontaneously assembled
at the entrance to the park, to testify their admiration of the
hero, by removing the horses from his carriage, and drawing
him in triumph to Lea Castle, where he was received with
lively manifestations of affection and joy by the assembled
family and domestics. Few regiments have suffered more se-
verely before Sebastopol, either in officers or men, than that
to which the gallant captain belongs (the 34th), more than
half the entire strength of each rank having been placed hors
de combat within a brief period, and without sickness ; and
few, if any, of its surviving officers have been more severely
wounded, or enjoyed more " hair-breadth" escapes from de-
struction, than Captain Baown Westhead. He still carries in
his body (between the right shoulder and the breast) the rifle
ball which inflicted the serious wound that caused him to be
invalided home by a medical board; and, in his heroic dis-
charge of the arduous duty wherein be encountered this wound,
he was further struck by a spent grape shot, had the low
crown of his forage cap ripped up a distance of two inches by
a Minie ball, and trod upon one of the enemy's infernal ma-
chines, which fortunately hanging fire for a few seconds, ex-
ploded when he was a few paces beyond it. This occurred during
the memorable successful storming of the Quarries, and sub-
sequent carrying of the Russian trenches and rifle pits
in front of the Redan, on the night and morning of the
7th and Bth of June, on which occasion the gallant
captain headed a company of his regiment. In the numerous
letters wherein his brother officers kindly sought to allay the
anxiety of his family and friends, until the state of his wound
permitted him to write himself, warm testimony is borne to
the distinguished gallantry and prowess he exhibited in the
action. It appears that he was observed to fell several of the
Russians with the rifle of one of his men, after discharging
the several barrels of his revolver with equal effect ; an it
was in the act of returning the former weapon for reloading
that he received his severe wound from an enemy observant of
the havoc following his rapid and deadly aim. It is under-
stood that Captain Brown Westhead owes the omission of his
name from among those of his brother officers whose signal
gallantry was distinguished by special mention in the
despatches of Lord Raglan, to a somewhat remarkable instance
of that disgraceful incorrectness which has marked official
reports from the seat of war. The despatches wherein the
late commander-in-chief signalised the gallantry of the storm-
ing party of the 34th, mentioned with special commendation
the conduct of two of its captains; but although it so hap-
pens that Captain Brown Westhead was one of the only two
captains of the 34th present with the storming party,
(Captain Peel being the other), he was deprived of the
honourable mention obviously intended for and due to
him, by the erroneous and inexcusable substitution of the
name of a brother captain who was not present in the action, but
who has since heroically fallen.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
[Captain Brown Westhead is a relative of Mr. P. Bancroft,
oil merchant, of this town.]
