THE CRIMEAN INQUIRY.

Taw reportl;;;at length appeared. It enters fully
into all the charges against, and the defence of,
each officer concerned, anti reports as follows :
The Earl of Lucas.—" Upon the whole, we are sa-
tisfied by the evidence, documentary and oral, adduced
before us, and by a perusal of the Earl of Lucan's
divisional orders and correspondence, that his lord-
ship used every exertion to meet the peculiar diffi-
culties which he had to contend with, and that he is
therefore not chargeable with neglect in the perform-
ance of the important duties attached to his com-
mand."_

The Earl of CARDIGAN.—The report exonerates
the noble earl of blame in not having sent, in
Nov., '54, the troop-horses to Balaklava for forage, as
detaching such a force as was requisite for that pur-
pose would have rendered the brigade virtual:y use-
less for military purposes in their advanced positio❑
on the heights. At the same time, the report ob-
serves that it does not appear Lord Raglan's atten-
tion was particularly called to the proposal of sending
the troop horses for forage.
Major-GenerallSir Rif:mum AIREY.—" On a careful
review of the imputations, whether express or implied,
against the Quartermaster• General's department in
the Crimea of which Sir Richard Airey complained—
We are of opinion that, in the performance of their
several duties, neither that officer nor any of those
who served under him are justly chargeable with
mismanagement or neglect ; but that, on the con-
trary, they used their best exertions to promote, as
far as depended upon them, the welfare of the army."
Colonel GORDON.—Colonel Gordon being included
in the Quartermaster-General's department, the re-
port merely summarises the passages complained of
by him in the commissioners' report, and his expla-
nations.

Mr. Frum.—The report enters at great length
into every charge against the Commissary-General,
and exonerates him of all blame on the question of
supplies of salt and fresh meat, the issue of lime
juice, the supply of fresh bread, the issue of green
coffee, fuel, and forage, and the want of transport;
and concludes as follows :

On the whole, therefore, we are of opinion that Commis-
ssry-General Filder's conduct in the management of his
deportment was not, and is not, justly liable to the un-
favorable animadversion, either express or implied, which
is oonveyed in the report of the commissioners ; and we
humbly submit to your Majesty that he does not appear
to us to be justly responsible, as regards the supplies, for
the unsatisfactory state of your Majesty's army in the
Crimea daring the winter of 1854.5.

The Duke of Cambridge, Commanderin.Chief,
has appointed the following officers to be his aides-
de-camp :—colonel C. Tyrwhitt, unattached ; Lieu-

The number of field train troops encamped and
butted on Woolwich-common is still undiminished,
and, together with the vast number of horses—ex.
ceeding 2,ooo—which are picketed around the encamp-
ment, form a source of much attraction to crowds of
sightseers. Sundry batteries and troops of Horse
Artillery, varying in number, are daily inspected on
Woolwich and Plumst.ead commons, weather permit-
ting; so that the garrison at the present moment
from guard-mounting to evening "tattoo," is con-
stantly alive.
The late disturbances at Aldershott have been
inquired into, but the official report has not yet
appeared. The German Legion left the camp last
Saturday for Colchester.
The Crimean correspondent of the H'rald writes
that on paying a farewell visit, on the 6th, to the late
bead-quarters at Balaklava, he found one William
Church, of the Sappers and Miners, carefully plaster-
ing into the wall a small tablet, bearing the following
inscription in English and Russian :—" In this room
F. M. Lord Raglan, G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of
the English army in the Crimea, died June 28,1855."
The Russian inscription is below the English.
Major General Sir Richard Dacres, R. A., is at present
suffering from a severe return of Crimean fever and

ague.
Her Majesty has expressed her gracious intention
of personally distributing at Portsmouth, during the
present sojourn of the Court at Osborne, the Baltic
medal, which she signalled her royal intention of
having struck when at the late great naval review.
Admiral Henry Richard Glyn died last Sunday,
aged eighty eight, at Bideford, Devon. The gallant
deceased entered the navy in 1780, and was present
at Lord Howe's action on the Ist Jane.
