WAR-DEPARTMENT, JUNE 6.
Lord Panmure has this day received two eespatches
and their enclosures, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord
Raglan, G.C.B.
Before Sebastopol, May 26, 1855.
My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your Lord
ship that a portion of the Allied Armies took up a posi-
tion yesterday on this side of the Tchernaya, the left of
the French resting under a redoubt established upon the
edge of this ridge overhanging the valley, and opposite
the Inkerman heights ; the right extending beyond
Tractir ; and the ground more to the right, behind
Chorgouna, being occupied by the Sardinian troops,
aided in their advance by the 10th Hussars and 12th
Lancers and the Horse Artillery, under Col. Parlby.
Omer Pacha at the same time moved forward to the
low heights in front of Balaklava, and thus afforded
support' to the French Divisions before him. These
were commanded by General Canrebert, who pushed
forward across the bridge of Tractir, and drove the
enemy, who were not in great numbers, off, and having
cleared his front, he withdrew to this side of the river,
where he now remains.
Sir Colin. Campbell advanced the Royal Marines from
the high ridge on our extreme right to a point com-
manding the old Baidar-road; and Colonel Parlby, with
the regiments I have mentioned, reconnoitred the country
.on the immediate right of General La Marmora's posi-
tion, and patrolled along the Worolizow-road, in the di-
rection of Baidar.
The appearance and bearing of the Sardinian troops
are highly satisfactory, and I anticipate the greatest ad-
vantage from their addition to this army under their dis-
tinguished leader General La Marmora, whose zeal for
the service and ardent desire to co-operate with us lam
happy to have so early an opportunity of acknowledging
and recording. Nothing of importance has occurred in
the British trenches since I wrote to your lordship on
the 19th inst.
The death of Colonel Egerton, of the 77th, on the
night of the 19th ultimo, as already announced to your
lordship, prevented me receiving in due course the offi-
cial report of the conduct of the officers serving imme-
diately under him, and it is only a few days ago that I
harrit that Captain Gilby was the next in seniority to
im, of the 77th, on the occasion, and that he had highly
distinguished himself.
I deem it an act of justice to a most deserving officer
to bring his conduct under the notice of your lordship.
I enclose the returns of casualties to the 24th inst.
Your lordship will regret to see that Lieutenant Wil-
liams of the 17th has been severely wounded.
I have the greatest pleasure in announcing to your
lordship the brilliant success which attended an attack by
the French army of some ambuscades at the head of the
Quarantine Bay, and in front of a cemetery near it. The
attack was made on the night of the 22d, and the ope-
ration was completed o 4 the following evening. The
enemy had collected a very large force on the first occa-
sion to resist our Allies ; but, notwithstanding, the
French were enabled by their brilliant gallantry and de-
termined resolution to maintain themselves in the pits
at the head of the bay on the 22d, and on the 23(1 to
occupy the whole with less resistance on the part of th e
Russians, who are stated to have sustained a very se-
vere loss.
The French were necessarily exposed to a very heavy
fire, and were assailed by vastly superior numbers. The
achievement they accomplished redounds therefore
highly to their renown, and is hailed with satisfaction by
their Allies.
An expedition, composed of British, French, and
Turkish troops, sailed for Kertch on Tuesday evening
and Wednesday morning, and I hope soon to be able to
announce the landing of the corps, and the result of its
first operations. It is commanded by Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir George Brown, and has been conveyed in Erg-
glish and French ships, under the command of Admiral
Sir E. Lyons and Admiral Bruat, whose exertions to
carry out this important service have been most con-
spicuous.
The 31st Regiment has arrived from Corfu.
I am much concerned to have to report that Major-
General Buller has been obliged by the failure of his
health to leave the army. He has been constant in the
discharge of his duty since he joined this army, distin-
guished himself both at Alma and Inkerman. and per-
severed in taking his turn in the trenches until driven
by illness to withdraw.
I regret the loss of h;s services exceedingly.
I have, &c.,
The Lord Panmurc, &c., &c., &c,

chair.
The CHIRMAN explained that the meeting was convened ;
in compliance with the standing erclert of the House of
Lords to consider a bill now before Parliament for
enabling the company to make alterations in certain
parts of the railway and to amend the former act. The
prindipal object of the bill was to enable them to make a
deviation in the line which was originally intended to
pass under St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but, as it was
thought that the vibrations from the passing of
trains might interfere !with operations and patients,
the deviation would be carried about thirty yards to
the north of the intended line. The deviation would
pass under Bartholomew•close instead of under a part
of Little Britain.• The line would thus be made
shorter and better than the original line. It was
stated at the meeting recently held in the London
Tavern that they would be enabled to announce the
state of the share list at the present meeting. He was
happy to say that the whole of the shares had been taken
up and the deposit paid upon them. This of course in-
cluded the 15,000 shares taken up by the contractors.
The share capital consisted of 100,000 shares of 101.
I each, and they expected that 200,0001. more would com-
plete the line. He concluded by moving the resolution
approving of the bill.
Mr. ARMSTRONG seconded the motion, and, in doing
so, adverted to the clear and satisfactory statement
made by the chairman at the last meeting in respect to
the practicability of the undertaking. He felt very much
gratified to hear that the share list had been completed ;
and he had no doubt the railway would be a safe and
remunerative investment.
Mr. J. HUGHES wished to know whether the contract
with Messrs. Tredwell had been signed, and when the
works would be commenced ?
The CHAIRMAN said, it had been entered into 18 months
ago, but they could not say exactly when they would be
ready to commence the works. The contractor would
take the line at so much per yard forward, or would
complete the whole for a given sum from the Post-office
to the Great Western Railway.
The resolution approving the bill was carried unani-
mously, and a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman
concluded the proceedings.
