THE ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL

MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTER.

---
The Earl of Cardigan, in oommand of the Light
Division. whose reale, it will be renumbered, were e• feu.
fally thinned ander Rusks fire in the memorable bat
deadly sharp at Balaklave, tad Mr. James Macdonald, the
gentienen deputed to distribute the fandi mad clothing eol-
lined through the instrumentality of the Timm, snug the
sick and wounded at Scutari, were the witnesses examined
I Wonky. The Rut of Cardigan who. to use a military
phrase, appeared to Ise in excellent feather, wee attired in a
blue Wellington frock coat sad white kid gkrres, and like
H.R.H. the Doke of Cambridge, appeared to have escaped
anseathed is the various terrible encounter.

A witness, however, who obtained the supply of mules,
wee lint dinned of—Colenel Rink* who said he
noseted to Lord Raglan sad the Duke of Canbridge,
is Xenh, that vanes night be obtained frees Spain, upon
a good, altboegli rather ezpessive, plan, sad, three months
after, he was seat for by the Treasury, and west to Spain
for t►e purpose. He procured 500 melee, at 341.105. oath,
and embarked the ant 300 at Bananas 14 days after. He
maid have obtained ea many se were required, mad mi-
lkiest heap for their transport. The delay in their
transmission was attributable to defects in the transport

The Heel of Cardigan was then exambied by the shah-
-ea. He said be neuneded the Light Brigade of smoky,
sad Laded at &start cm the 23rd May. At that time eel,
two poetises el his division had arrived there, and arrange-
ments were made fat their nceptioe in the Kaaba bar-
soaks, beloegiag to the Turkish government. On the 3rd
of Jane he had wanes, to proceed to Varna, and his divi-
des, cm arriving then, eneaniud immediately. The eon-
Mime of both man and hones was as pod se when
they kit legland. No preparation was made at Varna for
the neeption of the troops. They eseamped in the anal
way. iverything was disembarked, the horses were pick-
eted, sad the tents pitched. The horses and tempo were
disembuked in safety, bat be thought a defect existed in
the way et embarking cavalry ; that there ought to be some
imyeeneteet or seism to it. There was no proper machi-
nery employed he the purpose, and there was great risk of
Habana fain into the sea. There was always ea awk-
wades's L dieembarking troops, and at Yarns the mach!.
may was not good. The weather was Sm. Forage was
provided. They first encamped mar the outer gates of the

was there hie nee were very healthy until
the cholera broke eat. The Light Brigade, he
thought, was more fortunate as to health than any
ether portion of the way. While ether pertain of
the army were losing lugs ambers of men by cholera, the
Light Divides only lost ten rasa. The encampment at
Dews was very good; he might say it was excellent
ground. They had a boautifal river of clear water ramieg

his brigade to wiling wept chases and Providence.
There were font regimate of cavalry la his brigade, making
1,200 men, sad a troop of hone artillery ; sod they we:.
all encamped together at the regulated distemes hid down
in the books. There was panty of nem he the troop
when they were at Deana, and he did not attribute any
sickness that erne to over-erowdiag. The rattail of his
ma were 11b. of meat, generally fresh, sad lib. of bread.
The breed nossionally felled. A whoa liens of ovens was
balls doors by the river aide, and the bread was baked in
the easenipment by the eseareetors. When the bread was
out they bad basalts. Occasionally the bread was bad, and
he made representations ofteerning ft at head-quarters, and
it was pat right and improved. Sabsequastly moved far-
ther iato the country, and en to Varna, from
whisk M enamped three miles distant. The health
of the men wee sot so good there. The eseamp-
aunt, which was en very high ground, had all the
elopements of being healthy, but it wee reported fa
the emery that it wee unhealthy, owing to ezhalations
from the lake, from which they eneusped about half a Wk.
He 'sharked for the Calmea is the Himalaya. The
fasi-
litho they had for embarkation were very wrest. There
were large floating rafts raised high above the water, with
ban end rails to prevent the horses filling off. Disem-
barked the whole of his division in the boats of the Trafal-
gar man-of-war. Had no French boats to aid them, and
never heard of any of the French boats being engaged in
&embark* the troops at ell. Oa arriving at Old Fort
the weather was very bad. Orden were issued that the
ow should go on shore without their teats. The cavalry
had ao tuts. Ho (the alibis earl) was sent forward with a
body of troops, by Lord Raglan's order, to attempt to out
