EVE '1
NO_ NOVEMBER 9, I tks

in a southerly direction, passing close to the village of
Temesh, where we came in sight of a body of Russian
cavalry, considerably superior in numbers to that we
had seen the evening before, a strong force of guns, and,
I believe, some batallions of infantry.
This body also retired before us, at a considerable
distance, while we continued our advance to the village
of Tuzla, on a rising ground to the left of which village
General D'Allonville took up a position and offered
battle, Captain Thomas's troop of Horse Artillery firing
several rounds with precision, which were answered by
the enemy without effect.
After waiting here for two hours, and seeing that the
enemy were effecting a further retreat; General D'Al-
lonville formed a junction with the column, under
Alushir Achmet Pasha, at the town of Sak, where we
bivouacked, destroying the town and considerable Rus-
sian cantonments.

On the 24th inst., yesterday, we returned to Eupa-
toria by the sea coast road.
On the first day's march, the French cavalry were in
front, the English cavalry in support ; the Turkish
cavalry on our left flank. On the second day, the
cavalry under my command were in advance, supported
by the French cavalry, the Turkish cavalry on our left
flank.

I have great satisfaction in stating that General
D'Allonville expressed to me his approval of the manner
in which the cavalry I have the honour to command
manoeuvred in the field, as likewise of the good prac-
tice of our Horse Artillery ; and I may perhaps be per
mitted to express my acknowledgments of the courtesy
evinced towards me, and the troops under my command,
by the General during the time we were in the field,
and since we landed at Eupatoria.
I beg to enclose a return of casualties,* caused by ex-
haustion from the want of water, of which there was
a very great scarcity everywhere.
Captain Hamilton, Royal Navy, has requested
me to inform you that the French brig of war,
Allouette, and her Majesty's ship Diamond, co-
operated with the troops on this occasion ; but that
he, finding a sailing vessel unhandy on this service,
placed the guns and men of the Diamond on board the
steam transport Oneida, from which he fired on the
flanks and on some advanced pickets of the enemy.—
I have, &c.,
(Signed) GEO. PAGET,
Brigadier-General Commanding Light
Cavalry Brigade at Eupatoria.
The General Commanding-in-Chief,
in front of Sebastopol.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat has been re-
ceived up to oar market this week, coastwise and by land
=lima, and the show of samples to-day was trill:rig. All
kinds were in fair request, and the finest parcels were the
turn in favour of sellers. •
The imporLs of foreign wheat have been under 3,000
quarters. The amount of business doing was very limited,
yet Monday's currency was freely supported.
Floating cargoes were in reque ,t, at extreme quotations.
The barley trade was very firm, and the finest malting
qualities were held on higher terms.
Malt sold steadily, at full prices.
There was a slow sale for oats, and the quotations were
with difficulty supported.
Beans, peas, and flour realised full prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts on sale in to-day's market
was very moderate and in low condition, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at barely Monday's prices. We were very
scantily supplied with sheep, yet all breeds moved off
slowly, and the late improvement in the quotatiors was
with difficulty supported. Calves were in short supply,
and heavy request, at a decline of 2d per Ms. Pigs
realised previous rates.
Milch cows were very dull, at from 14/. to 191. each, in-
cluding their small calf.
