the proportion actually dead is small in comparison
with the number of casualties. _ _

It will be observed that only one officer of the
Guards Brigade is returned as " killed"—
Mr. Horace Cust, of the Coldstream Guards.
This gallant young man is the youngest
son of Captain the Hon. Peregine Francis
Cust—a cousin of the youthful Earl Brownlow—and
a nephew of the Duke of Buccleuch.
Of the officers of the Scots Fusiliers, nine were
wounded, but it is hoped none fatally so.

The Commander of the Forces congratulates
the troops on the brilliant success that attended
their unrivalled efforts in the battle of the 20th'
instant, on which occasion they carried a most
formidable position, defended by large masses of
Russian infantry and a most powerful and nume-

rous artillery.
Their conduct was in unison with that of ourl
gallant Allies, whose spirited and successful attack
of the left of the heights occupied by the enemy
cannot fail to have attracted their notice and
admiration.

GENERAL ORDER.—No. 1.

The Commander of the Forces thanks the
Army most warmly for its gallant exertions. He
witnessed them with pride and satisfaction, and
it will be his pleasing duty to report, for the Queen'sl
information, how well they have earned her Ma-
jesty's approbation, and how gloriously maintained
Ithe honour of the British name.

Lord Raglan condoles most sincerely with the
troops on the loss of so many gallant officers and
brave men, whose memory it will be a cbnsOlation
to their friends to feel, will ever be cherished in
the annals of our Army.

WAR DEPARTMENT, OCT. 8, 81 O'CLOCK, A.M.
The Duke of Neivcastle has received private
letters from Lord Raglan, expressing his great
regret that the harrassing duties imposed upon
the troops, by the operations after the battle oJ
Alma, had prevented the nominal returns of thi
killed and wounded of the non-commissioned
officers and privates being made out in the different
regiments in time to be sent with the despatchei.

The Duke of Newcastle expects them by an early
'mail, and they shall be published the moment they

Admiralty, October 8, 1854.
The Lords Commissiouera of the Admiralty have
this day received despatches from Vice-Admiral
Dundas, containing intelligence as to the proceed-
ings of her Majesty's Fleet in the Black Sea, of
which the following are copies :
ATTACK OF [THE RUSSIAN ENTRENCHMENTS ON
THE ALMA BY THE ALLIED AsMIES.
No. 485. Britannia off the Alma,
September 21, 1854.
Sir,—ln my letter of the 18th instant (No. 480),
I reported to you, for the information of the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the Allied
Armies were ready to move, and I now beg you
will acquaint their Lordships that, on the morning
of the 19th, they marched to a position about two
miles north of the Alma River, where they halted
for the night ; the French and Turks on the right,
close to the sea, and the English to the left, about
four miles inland.

The Russians, with some 5,000 or 6,000 cavalry
and artillery, and 15,000 infantry, made a demon-
stration north of the river, but returned on the
approach of the armies, and recrossed the river at
sunset.

About noon, on the 20th, the Allies advanced in
the same order to force the Russian position and
entrenchments south of the Alma. This was
effected by 4 o'clock, the Russians retreating appa-
rently to the eastward of the main road to Sebasto-
pol.
The Russian left fell back before the French
very rapidly, and their batteries on the right were
carried by the bayonet of the English.
Our loss has necessarily been severe, and is
estimated at about 1,200 killed and wounded ;
that of the French about 900.

missing.

The Russian loss has also been great, two gene-
ral officers and three guns were captured by our
'men, but we have few prisoners beyond the
wouuded, in consequence it is believed of our de-1
aciency of cavalry.

LieUtenant Deiriman, of the Caradoc, accompa-
nied the staff of General Lord Raglan, during the
lotion, and I also sent Lieutenant ynn of this
ship to convey any message to me from his lord-
_

All the medical officers of the fleet (excepting
one in each ship), 600 seamen and marines, and
all the boats have been assisting the wounded, and
conveying them to the transports, that will sail for
the Bosphorus as soon as possible.
I believe it is the intention of the Allied Forces
to -move to-morrow, and the Sampson which I de-
tached last night with the Terrible off Sebastopol,
has signalised that the Russians were retreating on
Sebastopol, and that they have burnt the villages
on the Katsoha.

MOVEMENTS OF THE FLEETS ARD ARMIES.
No. 487. Britannia, off the Katseha,
Sept. 23, 1854.

_
Sir,—l beg you will inform the Lords Commis-I
iioners of the Admiralty, that since my letter to
you of the 21st inst. (No. 485), the men and boats
of the fleet have been employed in bringing from
the field (about four miles distant), and carrying
)n board the transports, the English and Russian
Aficers and .men wounded in the battle of the
Alma, as well as the sick of the army.
2. All the medical officers of the different ship!
have been zealously and usefully occupied in at-1
tending them, and I have been obliged to send
several assistant-surgeons in the vessels with the
wounded to Constantinople.
3. The Vulcan and Andes, with 800 wounded
tild sick, sailed for Constantinople yesterday, and
w-day the Orinoco and Colombo, with 900, in-
.:hiding some sixty or seventy Russians, will follow.
Another vessel (by the request of Lord Raglan),
with about 500 wounded Russians, will also pro-
ceed, under charge of the Fury, to land them att
Odessa.

BATTLE OF THE AL MA

4. On the night of the 21st instant the Russians
made a very great alteration in the position of
their fleet in Sebastopol. I enclose a report made
by Captain Jones, of the Sampson ; and I propose
attacking the outer line the first favourable oppor-
tunity.
' 5. Captain Jones also reports that great exer-
tion appear to be making to strengthen the land
defences, as well as those by sea.
Now batteries on both sides of the port have
been erected, defending the entrances and line of
coast. One, to the north, has heavy guns, of a
range of 4,000 yards, two shots having passed over
the Sampson, when nearly at that distance.
6. Provisions for the army have been landed ;
and the Forces move on to-day towards Sebasto-
pol, accompanied by the fleets, which have an-
chored off the Katscha.

heads of tho ships are generally above water ; that
the passage is closed, except perhaps a small space
near the shoal off the North Battery, and the
double booms inside are thus rendered more se-
leure.

Eight sail of the line are moored east and west
inside of the booms, and three of the ships are
heeled over to give their guns more elevation to
sweep over the land to the northward.
2. An intelligent seaman, a deserter, who
escaped from Sebastopol on the 22d, had partly
prepared me for some extraordinary movement.
He had informed me that the crews of the ships
moored across the harbour (to one of which he
had been attached) had been landed, with the ex-
ception of a very few in each ship ; that the
vessels were plugged ready for sinking ; tbat
the guns and stores were all on board ; and that
the other ships were moored under the south side
to defend the harbour from attack from the north-
ward. He reported that the Battle of Alma had
greatly dispirited the Russians ; that the troops
had retreated on Sebastopol without a halt ; that
he believes the whole Russian force not to exceed
40,000. The man's statements were clear, and
on points that came under his own observation
were mostly corroborated, and I consider reliance
may be placed on his information generally, con-
sidering the means his station in life afforded of en-
abling him to obtain it. At the request of Lord
Raglan I have sent him on shore to act as a guide
to the Army on their approach to the environs of
Sebastopol.
3. The Allied Armies moved this afternoon to
take up a position to the south of the port of Se-
bastopol, and the fleet will move so as to meet
their arrival there.—l have, &c.,

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at B,QOO bales. The market closed
steadily. Railway shares were quiet.
The anxiety to provide means against all con-
tingencies, and the active demand for money, had
a marked effect upon the position of the Bank
of England during the week to the 30th
ultimo. The balances of private: depositors were
augmented ; but this was a measure of precaution,
and probably in anticipation of liabilities falling
due on the 4th inst. The discounts, for the same
reason, were largely augmented. With regard to
the amount to the credit of the Treasury, it is
smaller than upon some former corresponding pe-
riods, but quite as large as could be expected
during a state of warfare. Bullion and notes wer•
both required to a larger extent, from the greater
demand upon the Bank's resources. The follow-
ing were the changes compared with the previous
week :

There was an advance again yesterday afternoon
n the rates of exchange for bills upon some of the
!continental cities, Trieste, 90 days, being done at
;11 43 to 48, and Frankfort at 119. Paris, how-
!ever, remained atl2s 321 to 37k, Amsterdam at 11.

• Nearly every line of this would have applied to
England before the repeal of the Corn Laws, and
the adoption of such arguments abroad is the sure
precursor of Free Trade.
There are several telegraphic despatches in from
Memel, dated the sth inst., received by various
German houses, announcing the melancholy fact of
a large portion of that town having been destroyed
by fire, according to some versions no less than
two-thirds. This, however, is probably exagge-
rated. It is doubtful as yet whether the shipping
has suffered, but as a canal runs through the t-Avn,
and the ships load therein, it is very much feared that
the merchandise may also have suffered. A large
• quantity of produce, especially hemp, had been
burnt in the warehouses. According to some ver-
sions as much as 8,000 tons of hemp.
The funds have been very quiet, and continue
• heavy as regards prices. Consols have been 95 to
for transfer, and 95i to for account. Exchequer
Bills have been 4s. to 7s. premium. East India
' Stock is at 230.

Foreign Securities have been offered rather
freely for sale again. Spanish 3 per Cents, have
been 374 , and the New Deferred 18g. The Com-
mittee's Certificate is at 5. Mexican Bonds have
been quoted 24, and Chilian 101 ex dividend.
Brazilian Old Stock is at 98 to 99 ex dividend.
Russian 44 per Cents. have dropped to 85.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 6i ;

181 to 18i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 374 to 371; ditto
Certificates, 5 to 5f ; ditto Passive, 44 to 4i.
Railway Shares have been weak again, and the
transactions have been in the direction of sales
generally. Great Northern and Caledonian, how-
ever, have been a shade higher, and the Shropshire
Union have been very firm. French shares have
been merely nominal.
The Mining Market has been dull, and there has
been no movement in the Banking Shares.
Crystal P alace are not so good.

ARRIVAL OF LORD BURGHERSH.
(Front the Morning Post of this day.)
Major Lord Burghersh, principal aide-de-camp to
General Lord Raglan, commanding the British
forces in the Crimea, arrived in town this morning
at a quarter to 7 o'clock, bearing detailed intelli-
gence of the first great action in which the
I,allied forces have been engaged against the Rus-
sians. Lord Burghersh brings intelligence down
