Majesty William IV. himself gave him his commission
and introduced him into the army. He was a branch of
the Lancashire Stanlays. He married three years ago
Miss Balfour, whose father, Captain Balfour, R.N.,
was many years member for Orkney. Captain Stanley
will long be regretted by all who had the happiness of
knowing him. This gallant officer volunteered to form
part of the first party to storm Sebastopol. He was in-
terred close to his Colonel, Brigadier-General Goldie, on
Cathcart-hill,

medal and two clasps.
Captain William Kent Allix, who fell en the heights
of Inkerman' was born in the year 1823, and was con-
sequently in his 32d year. He was third son of Mr.
Charles Allix, of Willoughby, near Grantham. He was
educated at Harrow and at Sandhurst, where he gained
his commission without purchase, having passed so good
an examination that he was specially mentioned in the
United Service Journal for June, 1840, and was
gazette(' on the 28th of July of that year to an En-
signey in the Ist or Royal Regiment, the depot of which
regiment he joined at Buttevant, in Ireland, in th 3
autumn of the same year. The following spring he was
sent with a detachment to join the head-quarters of the
regiment at Gibraltar. He remained there a year, and
was appointed Adjutant to the battalion, which office
he filled for nine years, only resigning it in consequence
of his gaining his company. He served in Canada, in
the West.lndies, and a second time in Canada. He was
appointed in 1853 Brigade Major to Lieutenant-General
Sir De Lacy Evans, and also to Sir Richard England I
during the period of the camp at Chobham, and at the
beginning of the- present year Lieutenant-General Sir
De Lacy Evans selected him as his senior aide-de-camp
for the campaign in the East. He accompanied Sir De
Lacy Evans to Scutari, to Varna, and to the Crimea ;
he was present at the Battle of the Alma, where he was
honourably mentioned in Lord Raglan's despatches ;
also at the battle of Balaklava on the 25th and 26th,
when be was again mentioned in the official despatches,
and fell nobly on the field of Inkerman, discharging to
the last his duty as a soldier in the service of his Queen
and country.
Ensign Clutterbuck, of the 63d Regiment, who was
killed at the battle of Inkerman, was the eldest surviv-
ing son of Mr. Robert Clutterbuck, of Watford, Herts,
and was only in his 20th year. George Evans, a private
is the same regiment, also a native of Watford, was
fighting by his side when be received his death wound,
and in writing hems to his mother he thus alludes to the
event :—" Our regiment and the 21st formed line. We
then charged them, and we did it most gloriously ! We
routed thousands of them, and as fast as we could fire and
load our pieces, se fast they fell, for we could net miss
them they were so thick. We chased them for the best
part of a mile past titer own entrenchment, and close up
to that, in the thick of the whsle of it, poor Mr. Clutter-
buck was carrying the Queen's colours and cheering the
men on. I think the last words that he said were—
' Come on, 63d !' when he received a shot right
through the neck, which killed him instantly. He
died gloriously ! I never saw a braver man than
him in the field that day, although it is with sorrow
that I have to record his de..th. As for myself,
thank God, I did not so much ai receive a scratch the
whole of the day. After the fight Waq over I went and
got Mr. Ciutterbuck's remains carried to the camp,
where they were properly interred the next day. I took
a small piece of his hair, which I send to you to give
over to his respected filends. His father may well be
proud of having had such a son, for he fought and died
bravely, with the Queen's colours of the 63d Regiment
in his hand."—Chelmsford Chronicle.
