A FAMILY QUARTETTE.—The wife of a grocer at Rou-
baix (Nord), named Castelain, gave birth last week to
four children, a boy and three girls, all alive and per-
fectly formed. She bad already bad twins on a former
occasion, and has six children living. Those just born
lived several days, and were all christened at the same
time, the ceremony being attended by an immense con-
course of persons.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her
intention to confer the Decoration of the Victoria Cross
on the undermentioned Officers and Non-Commissioned
Officers of her Majesty's Army, who have been recom-
mended to her Majesty for that decoration, in accordance
with the rules laid down in her Majesty's Warrant of the
29th of January, 1356, on account of Acts of Bravery per-
formed by them in the Crimea during the late War, as re-
corded against their several names, viz :
Serjeant Henry Ramage, 21 Dragoons, for having, at the
battle of Balaklava, galloped out to the assistance of
Private McPherson, of the same regiment, on perceiving
him surrounded by seven Russians, when by his gallantry
he dispersed the enemy, and saved his comrade's life ; for
having, on the same day, when the Heavy Brigade
was rallying, and the enemy retiring, finding his
horse would not leave the ranks, dismounted and
brought in a prisoner from the Russian lines.
Also for having dismounted on the same day, when the
Heavy Brigade was covering the retreat of the Light
Cavalry, and lifted from his horse Private Gardiner, who
was disabled from a severe fracture of a round shot. Ser-
geant Ramage then carried him to the rear from under a
very heavy cross fire, thereby saving his life, the spot
where he must inevitably have fallen having been imme-
diately afterwards covered by the Russian cavalry.
Brevet-Major Mark Walker, 3d Regiment (late of the
30th Regiment), for having, at Inkertnan, distinguished
himself in front of his Regiment, by jumping over a wall,
in the face of two battalions ~f Russian infantry, which
were marching towards it, for the purpose of encouraging
hie comrades by his example to advance against such heavy
odds, which they did, and succeeded in wising back both
battalions.

Colour-Serjeant George Garditier, 57th Regiment, for
distinguished coolness and gallantry upon the occasion of
a sortie by the enemy, and when_he was-aging as orderly.
serjant to the field-officers of:the tranehes—left attack
upon Sebastopol—in having rallied the covering parties
which had been driven in by the Russians, thus regaining
and keeping possession of the trenches. Also, for un-
flinching and devoted courage in the attack on the Redan,
on the 18th June, 1855, in having remained, and en-
couraged others to remain in the holes made by the
explosion of shells, from whence, by making
parapets of the dead bodies of their comrades,
they kept up a continuous fire until their am-
munition was exhausted, thus clearing the enemy from the
parapet of the Redan. This was done under a fire in which
nearly half the officers, and a third of the rank and file of
the party of the regiment were placed hors de combat.
Surgeon James Monat, C. 8., late of 6th Dragoons (now
Deputy-Inspector-General of Hospitals), for having volun-
tarily proceeded to the assistance of Lient.-Colonel Morris,
C. 8., 17th Lancers, who was 13 ing dangerously wounded
in an exposed situation after the retreat of the Light
Cavalry at the battle of Balaklava, and having dressed that
officer's wounds in presence of, and under a heavy fire from
the enemy. Thus, by stopping a serious hemorrhage, he
assisted in saving that officer's life.
Captain Howard Cranford Elphinstone, Royal Engi-
neers, for fearless conduct, in having, on the night after
the unsuccessful attack on the Redan, volunteered to com-
mand a party of volunteers, Who proceeded to search for
and bring back the scaling ladders left behind after the

gallant conduct while engaged in effecting a lodgement in
the enemy's rifle pits, in front of the left advance of the

when, by the Engineer officer being disabled from wounds,
the command devolved upon him, and he determinately
persisted in carrying on tho Rap, notwithstanding the re-
p sated attacks of the enemy.
Colour-Serjeant Peter Leitch, Royal Engineers, for
conspicuons gallantry in the assault on the Redan, when,
after approaching it with the leading ladders, he formed a
oaponniere across the ditch, as well as a ramp, by fearlessly
tearing doWn gahions from the parapet, and placing and
filling them until he was disabled from wounds.
