Both Admiral. Lyrne. and the second in command,
Admiral Housten Stewart, started for Enpatoria yester-
day evening, in the .Royal Aliert and Hannibal, screw-
liners. -No news has reached as to whether a battle took
place thero yesterday or not. . Admiral Stewart will re-
rosin a,t Eupatoria while there is any prospect of the
place being assailed ; indeed, it is said it is to be his
permanenesta,tion.
I have been informed that some of the staff of the

of the very first questions lie asked was, why had not
the men their belts properly pipeclayed ? The answer

.George replied, that they must send to England foi•
some, ae.lie was detainined that the men should pipe-
clay their belts, whatever they did. A nasty omen this

I 'have been requested to state that there is no founda-

Before the summer sets in, when it will .be too. late,

all thaneightniurhood of Balaklava is iu from-decaying

Admiral .Lyons has addressed the following most gra-

which they have maintained the discipline of the seamen
during a time of unusual hardship :

"It is with no small feeling of gratification that I en-
close for your information the copy of a letter I addressed
to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and of the
reply thereto, which I have just roe ived, and request that
you will convey to the officers of the Royal Naval Brigade
my sincere congratnlations en the promotion they have so
richly deserved. Your own meritorious services, as well
as those of the captains under you( immediate command,
will no doubt receive their due reward at the proper
period, and I request you will inform the petty officers and
seamen that their services are-duly appreciated by the Ad-
miralty, and will also meat with their reward.

"Sir, - In compliance with the directions contained in
your letter of the 15th ult., No. 838, I beg leave to trans
wit, to to laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
ini raliy, a list of all officers who have been or are now em-
ployed on shore with the army before Sebastopol, show
jog the p2ried they have been so employed. As I could
hardly consider myself in a position to make observations
as to the merits of each officer, I directed Captain Lush-
ington, who has commanded the Naval Brigade ever since
its formation, to do so, and their lordships will observe
that the remarks against each name are made by him ; but
I may be, permitted to say that the zeal, efficiency, and
gallantry of the Naval Brigade, have been the theme of
universal admiration •, nor have they been lees conspicuous
for the manly and cheerful manner in which they have
borne up against the sicknes.,'exposure, and privations in
cidental to a life in camp at this Reason.
"Vice-Admiral Dandaß has nos doubt brought theinde- •
fatigable exertions of the Commandant, of the Brigade, '
Captain Lushington, the chivalrous gallantry and seal of
Captain Peel, and the well-known merittof thattalented
officer, Captain Moorsom, under' their lordships' favour-
able notice ; and I would beg leave to call their ittentiiii ' s
1 to the fact, that Commanders Burnett, of the Queen, and
' Flillyar, of the Agamemnon, have been with the Brigade
during the whole period, upwards of three months, during
which time they may be said to have been continually
tinder fire. Commander B)rlase's meritorious conduct at,
the battle of Inkermau has been specially reported to their
lordships. Commander Lord Jehn Hay rejoins the bri-
gade, where his valuable services and inspiriting bearing
are highly appreciated. Many of the lieutenants, mates,
and widshipmen, as well as lieutenants of Royal Ma-
rine Artillery, and medical officers, have also been
with the brigade from the first, but Captain Lush-
ington's remarks are so explicit that their lordships
will have no difficulty in judging of the merits of
every officer. of each class ; and I will only add that those
who have been wounded bear a high character in their pro-
fession, and that no Set of • officers ever deserved •their
Lordships' liberal consideration more, than those Who'havis
served in the Royal Naval Brigadebefore Sebastopol; ; • -

" Admiralty, Jan. 29.
" Sir,—With reference to your letter, No. 25. of the 12th
inst., enclosing a list of the officers of the Roza' Navy
serving in the trenches, I am commanded by their Lord-
ships to acquaint you that, in consequence of the gallantry
and• good conduct displayed by the officers so serving, my
Lords are pleased to direct that the following promotions
shall be made :—Three commanders to captains ; nine
lieutenants to commanders; 13 mates; six assistant-
surgeons ; two clerks.

It is with feelings of pride and pleasure that I commu-
nicate the accompanying • copi:s of letters from Be r-
Admiral leir B.' Lyons, Commander-in-Chief, anti which
Lenouneo the numerous promotions the Lords Commis-
sioners of the A.tlininilty have'.cenferred on the officers of .
the Naval Brigade. I t.‘ke this'opprtuuily of thankieg
these officers fur ther ~all:iiitry caul untiiing energy Lathe
,etecution or -their duty, and I feel certain that, in con-
gratulating them (tons° the wards of the Gimmander-in-
Chief) on their richly-deserved promotion,' at their good
fortune will be considered by the remaining officers and
seamen as a proof of, the deep interest taken in our con-
duct and success by our gallant Commander-in-Chief; and
that it will excite them to increased exertion and zeal in
her Majesty's service, with the certainty of meeting their
due reward from thei Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty.
"The senior officers are also requested to take this
opportunity of pointing out to the crews of their respec-
tive ships the deep interest taken in their welfare by the
Commander-in-Chief, as well as by the Lords Commis-
'sinners of the Admiralty, and also by our gracious Sove-
reign Queen Victoria.
" Her Majesty has conferred a medal on every sailor
landed in the Crimea, and a clasp for such as were present
on the sth of November, 1854, whose conduct shall have
been good, and has in a like manner conferred a medal and

"The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
granted extras to all petty officers and seamen of the bri-
gade, as well as a liberal supply of warm clothing gratis,
as already communicated to them ; and the Commander-in-
Chief has further notified that the services of the petty
officers and seamen are duly appreciated by the Admiralty,
and will meet with further reward. I consider this. a fit-
ting opportunity of also pointing out to the brigade the
deep sympathy felt for our privations and services by, our
fellow countrymen and women, who have made private '
subscriptions, and forwarded for the use of the Naval• •
Brigade such warm clothing and other comforts as their •
means permitted.
