the scene of the oontlegratioo. The danger, however.
was still great, for a shell might at any glossa
penetrate the textile coverings and send the whets
into the air, lipreading around destruction and death
eemparel with'which the injury already done would
have been as ncthing. The troops were, therefore.
kept as far as possible from the scene of the firs till
late in the evening, when it had so expended its fury
as to sire Ices ground for apprehension. For the
most perilous service which he had eco bravely and
efficieutly rendered. Lientesest Hope was publicly
thanked by General Straubensm and the colonel of
his own regiment on Thursday meeting on parade;
and I, for one of many, sincerely hope that his dar•
ingly meritorious conduct will not be allowed to pass
without further reward. Had the contents of th•
windmill exploded, we should not sow be reckoning
Our killed and wounded by tens, but by hundreds,
tbr experierced engineer Soars declare that hardly
s living thing in the whole Light Division could have
escaped destructiou.
As it is, our casualties are heavy enough. No o 6
vial umlaut of them has as yet bean made public;
bat the telegraph will in all probability apprise you
of the numbers long before them lines reach
London. So far. however, as I can cane at any ap-
proximate knowledge of the figure, it risme to about
eighty killed and wounded, of whom the fanner make
newly a third. In the siege twin itself nine dead
babes have been found, one in the adjaasst camp of
the Rifles, one in that of the 7th Fusiliers, three in
rte 33rd, sad (1 believe) two in the 23rd. Besides
these capes of mtually dead, all the regiments now
tamed, as well as the nth, have sawed considerably
in wounded, being those nearest to the mese of the
explosion. A large working party in the next ravine,
between the camps of the first and second brigades,
also shared 'heavily in the resultant injuries, nearly
30 of theca, I believe, being either killed or wounded.
In the siege train eight men are still missing, and
