our batteries were then directed with equal
accuracy and vigour upon the enemy's columns,
which (exposed also to the close fire of our ad-
vanced infantry) soon fell into complete disorder
and flight. They were then literally chased by the
30th and 95th Regiments over the ridges and down
towards the head of the bay. So eager was the
pursuit that it was with difficulty Major-General
Pennefather eventually effected the recall of our
men. These regiments and the piquets were led
gallantly by Major Mauleverer, Major Champion,
Major Eman, and Major Hume. They were simi_
larly pursued, further towards our right, by four
companies of the 41st, led gallantly by Lieutenant-
Colonel the Hon. P. Herbert, A.Q.M.G. The
47th also contributed. The_ 55th were held in
reserve.

Above 80 prisoners fell into our hands, and about
130 of the enemy's dead were left within or near
our position. It is computed that their total loss
could scarcely be less than GOO.
Our loss, I am sorry to say, has been above 80, of
whom 12 killed, 5 officers wounded. lam happy
to say hopes arc entertained that Lieutenant Co-
nolly will recover, but his wound is dangerous.
I will have the honour of transmitting to your
lordship a list of officers, non-commissioned offi-
cers, and privates, whose conduct attracted special
notice. That of the piquets excited general admi-

ration.
To Major-General Pennefathor and Brigadier-
General Adams I was, as usual, greatly indebted.
Of Lieutenant-Colonel Dieres, Lieutenant-Colonel
Fitzmayer, Captains Turner, Yates, Woodham,
and Hemlin, and the whole of the Royal Artillery,
we are under the greatest obligation.
Lieutenant-*Colonel Herbert, A.Q.M.G., ren-
dered the division, as he always does, highly dis-
tinguished and energetic services. Lieutenant-
Colonel Wilbraham, A.A.G., while serving most
actively, I regret to say, had a very severe fall
from his horse. I beg leave also to recommend to
your lordship's flvourable consideration the ex-
cellent services of Captains Glasbrook and Thomp-
son, of the Quartermaster-General's department,
the Brigade-Majors Captains Armstrong and Thack-
well, and my personal staff, Captains Allis, Gub-
bins, and the Hon. W. Boyle.—l have, dEc.,

Before Sebastopol, Oct. 28, 1854.

My Lord Duke,—l have nothing particular to
report to your Grace respecting the operations of the
siege since I wrote to you on the 23d inst. The
fire has been somewhat less constant, and our
casualties have been fewer, though I regret to say
that Captain Childers, a very promising officer of
the Royal Artillery, was killed on the evening of
the 23d, and I have just heard that Major Dalton,
of the 49th, of whom Lieutenant-General Sir De
Lacy Evans entertained a very high opinion, was
killed in the trenches last night.

The enemy moved out of Sebastopol on the 26th
with a largo force of infantry, cavalry, and artil-
lery, amounting, it is said, to 6,000 or 7,000 men,
and attacked the left of the 2d Division, com-
manded by Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans,
who speedily and energetically repulsed them, as-
sisted by ono of the batteries of the Ist Division,
and some guns of the Light Division, and supported
by the brigade of Guards, and by several regiments
of the 4th Division, and in rear by the French
Division, commanded by General Bosquot, who
was most eager in his desire to give him every aid.
I have the honour to transmit a copy of Sir De
Llcy Evans's report, which I am sure your grace
will road with the highest satisfaction, and I beg
to recommend the officers whom he particularly
mentions to your protection.
Captain Bayley, of the 30th, and Captain
Atcherloy, of the same regiment, and Lieutenant
Conolly, of the 49th, all of whom are severely
wounded, appear to have greatly distinguished
themselves.

I cannot speak in too high terms of the manner
in which Lieutenant-General Sir Do Lacy Evans
*let this very serious attack. I had not the good
fortune to witness it myself, being occupied in the
front of Balaklavo, at the time it commenced, and
having only reached his position as the affair
ceased, but I am certain I speak the sentiments of
all who witnessed the operation, in saying that
nothing could have been better managed, and that
the greatest credit is duo to the Lieutenant-Gene-
ral, whose services and conduct I have before had
to bring under your Grace's notice.
I enclose the return of the losses the army has
sustained since the 22d.

I have, &c.,

RAGLLN.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &C.
