TRANSIT OF CAVALRY THROUGH EGYPT.
Last night's Gazette contains the following letter,
which Admiral Lyons has forwarded, with a good word,
through Lord Raglan to the War-office .
"Her Majesty's Steam-vessel Himalaya,
Karatch, May 7,1866.
" Sir,—l trust that you will not think me presuming if 1
endeavour to place before you some of the merits of Captain
Gall, Honourable East India Company, the Deputy-
Asaistant Quartermaster-General, conducting the transit of
the 10:h end 12th Regiments of Cavalry through Egypt,
and superintending their embarkation. Colonels Pole and
Psrlby are more capable then I can be of bearing testimony
to his services, but I beg to add my witness to the sea,
great energy, and consummate tact, by which he obtained a
maximum of work from a people notoriously inert, and thus
made my portion of the embarkation very simple : that no
casualty cf any kind has occurred in getting from the shore
into pontoons end alongside the several ships more than
1,000 horses, is attributable to his foresight and prudence.
I respectfully submit that it mcy prove advantageous to the
service if hie exertions be brought to the notice of Lord
Raglan-1 have, alto.,
(Signed) " BIN. P. PAILS; Commander.
