THE PRESS.

made upon the position occupied by onr troops
above the ruins of Inkermann, I stated that I would
in a subsequent despatch lay before your grace the
names of the officers whose conduct upon the occa-
sion bad been brought to my notice. I now proceed
to discharge that duty.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge re-
ports most favourably of the exertions of Colonel
the Honourable George Upton, of the Coldstream
Guards; Lieutenant-Colonel Reynardson, of the
Grenadier Guards; and Colonel Walker, of the
Scots Fusilier Guards ; as well as of Colonel
Cunynghame, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Brownrigg, Assistant-Adjutant-
General ; Captain the Honourable Percy Fielding,
Acting Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General,who
was severely wounded ; and of Captain Butler,
Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General, who was unfor-
tunately killed ; and here I may pause to mention
that he was the brother of Captain Butler, who so
distinguished himself at Silistria, and fell just before
the siege was raised.
The Duke of Cambridge likewise recommends
Lieutenant-Colonel Dacres, of the Royal Artillery,
who commanded the field batteries of the Ist
division, which were admirably served by Captains
Paynter and Woodhouse, Captain Hamley, of the
Royal Artillery, acting as staff officer to that branch
of the service; Captain Ellison, the Brigade Major
to the Guards; and Major the Honourable James
Macdonald (whose conduct particularly attracted
my attention), and the other officers of his personal

staff
His Royal Highness speaks also in the highest
terms of the spirited exertions of Assistant-Surgeon
Wilson, of the 7th Hussars, who at a critical moment
rallied a few men, which enabled them to hold the
ground till reinforced.
In the 2nd division, which, as I have already in-
formed your grace, received the first attack, and
was engaged throughout the day, the officers whose
names I have to bring forward are very nume-
rous.
Those who commanded the regiments of which it
is composed were, without exception, either killed
or wounded; and, in many instances, those who suc-
ceeded were wounded. Major-General I'ennefather
commends them highly. Colonel Warren, of the 55th,
in command of the Ist brigade, and Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Daubeney, 55th, who succeeded to it on the former
being wounded, and was himself wounded after-
wards; Lieutenant-Colonel Mauleverer, 301 h, and
Major Patullo, of the same regiment, who took the
command of the regiment when the lieutenant-colonel
was wounded ; Major Champion, 95th ltegiment,
and Major Hume, of the same corps, who were both
wounded, the latter having succeeded the former in
the command, and being himself relieved by Captain
Davis, when he was obliged to leave the field ; Lieu
truant-Colonel Carpenter, of the 41st, who was mor-
tally wounded, and succeeded in the command by
Major Eman ; Lieutenant-Colonel Haly, of the 47th,
who was obliged, when wounded, to relinquish hie
command to Major Farren ; Major Dalton, of the
49th, who fell at the head of his corps, and was re •
placed by Major Grant ; Lieutenant-Colonel Fitz-
mayer, commanding the batteries of the 2nd division,
under the able direction of Captains Pennycuick and
Turner; Lieutenant-Colonel Wilbraham, and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel the Honourable Percy Herbert, the
Assistant-Adjutant, and Assistant-Quartermaster-
General, and Captain Thompson, 10th Hussars, and
Captain Glazbrook, 49th Regiment, the Deputy-
Assistant-Adjutant, and Deputy-Assistant-Quarter-
master-General of the division ; Captains Thackwell
and Armstrong, the Brigade-Majors; Captain Har-
ding, aide-de-camp, and the other officers attached
to the major-general's personal staff, one of whom,
Captain Allix, the first aide-de-camp of Lieutenant-
General Sir De Lacy Evans, and a most promising
officer, was unfortunately killed.
The 3rd division was only partially engaged ;
but, having been actively employed in all the siege
operations, Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England
avails himself of the opportunity to mention, in terms
of high approbation, the staff officers and the officers
in command of regiments, and has drawn my atten-
tion to Major Wood, Assistant-Adjutant-General, the
Honourable Major Colborne,Assistant-Quiuterm aster-
General, Captain Wortley, Deputy-Assistant-Quar-
termaster-General, and Colonel Bell, of the Royal
Regiment; Colonel Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment;
Colonel the Honourable A. Spencer, of the 44th ;
Lieutenant Colonel Lowth, of the 38th ; Lieutenant-
Colonel Adams, of the 2811 ; and Lieutenant-Colonel
Waddy, of the 50th Regiments; Major the Hon.
A. Hope, of the flOth Regiment, Captain Daniell, of
the 38th, Brigade-Majors, and Captain Edward
Neville, Scots Fusilier Guards, his aide de-camp.
The superior officers of the 4th division, Lieute-
nant-General the Honourable Sir George Cathcart
and Brigadier-General Goldie, having fallen, and the
survivor, Brigadier-General Torrens, having been
severely wounded, I take upon myself to recommend
the surviving officers of the staff, viz., Colonel
Wyndham, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and
