The whole brigade scarcely made one. effective regiment,
according to. the numbers of continental armies ; and yet
it was all we-could spare. As they passed towards the
front, the Russians opened on them•from the guns in the
redoubts-on,the right, with volleys of musketry and rifles
they swept proudly past glittering in the morning sun in
all the pride and splendour of war. We could scarcely,
believe the evidence of our senses ! Surely that
handful of men are not going to charge an army iu
position ? Alas ! it was but too, true-- their desperate
valour knew no bounds; and far, indeed, was it removed
from its so-called better part—discretion. They advanced:
in two lines, quickening their pace as they closed towards
the enemy— a more fearful spectacle was never witnessed.
than now by those who, without the power to aid, beheld:
their heroic countrymen rushing to the arms of death..
At-the distance of 1,200 yards the whole line of the enemy
belched forth, from thirty iron-mouths, a flood of smoke
and flame, through which hissed the deadly balls. The
flight was marked by instant gaps in our ranks, by dead
men and horses, by steeds flying wounded or riderless
across the plain. The first line is broken, it is joined
by the second, they never halt or check their speed an
instant; with diminished ranks, thinned by those•thirty
guns which the Russians had laid with the most deadly
accuracy, with a halo of flashing steel above their-heads,
and with a cheer that was many a noble fellow's death-
cry, they flew into the smoke of the batteries, but ere
they were lost from view the plain was strewed with their
bodies and with the carcases of horses. They were exposed
to an oblique fire from the batteries on the hills on both
sides, as well as to a direct fire of musketry. Through
the clouds of smoke we could see their sabres flashing as
they rode up to the guns and dashed between them, cut-
ting down the gunners as they stood. Wesaw them riding
through the gum.; to our delight we saw them returning,
after breaking through a column of Russian infantry, and
scattering them like chaff, when the. flank fire of the bat-
tery on the hill swept them down, scattered and broken as
they were. Wounded men and dismounted troopers flying
towards us told the sad tale—demi-gods could not have
done what we had failed to do. At the very moment
when they were about to retreat, an, enormous mass of
Lancers was hurled on their flank. Colonel Shewell, of
the Bth Hussars, saw the danger, and rode his few men
straight at them, cutting his way through with fearful loss.
The other regiments turned and engaged in a desperate
encounter. With courage too great almost for credence,
they were breaking their way through the columns which
enveloped them. when there took place an act of atrocity
without parallel in the modern warfare of civilised nations..
The Russian gunners, when the storm of cavalry passed,
returned to their guns. They saw their own cavalry
mingled with the troopers who had just ridden over them,
and, to the eternal disgrace of the Russian name, the mis-
creants poured a murderous volley of grape and canister
on the mass of struggling men and horses, mingling
friend and foe in one common ruin. It was as much as
our Heavy Cavalry Brigade could do to cover the retreat of
the miserable remnants of that band of heroes as they
returned to the place they had so lately quitted, in all the
pride of life, At 11.35 not a British soldier, except the
dead and dying, were left in front of these bloody Musco-
vite guns. Our loss, as far as it could be ascertained, in
killed, wounded, and missing at two o'clock to-day, was as
follows :

INCIDENTS OF.-TIIE CONFLICT.

Purtherdetails in connexion with this gallantly-achieved„
though dear-bought, victory, are- found in various private
Totters. The following interesting account is from the
letter of an officer of the -Light Cavalry Brigade ; it is,
dated from the camp, near Balaklava, Oct. 27th
You will be glad to heard am alive after our tremenp
dous affair of the 25th. WO were ordered to charge some.
Russian batteries and cavalry, and the light brigade went
down—the 17th and 13th leading in line; the 11th were•
ordered to hang a little bask as a support, and the 4th And
Bth followed, in a sort of third line. We all knew that
the thing was desperate before we started, and it was even
worse than we thought. In our front, about a mile and a
half off, were several lines of Russian cavalry and_; nine
guns, to get at which .we.had to pass along a wide valley,
with the ground a little falling, in itself favourable enough
for a charge of cavalry; hut the sloping hills on each side
gave the enemy an, opportunity (which they used). of
placing guns on both our flanks as we advanced;
.and not
only guns, but infantry with Minie rifles. however,
there was no hesitation ; down our fellows went at the
gallop—through .a fire in front and on both flanks, which
emptied our saddles and knocked over our horses .by scores.
I do not think that one man flinched in the whole• brigade,
though every one allows that so hot a fire was hardly ever
seen. We went right on, cut down the gunners at their
guns (the Russians worked their guns until we were
within ten yards. of them) ; went on still, broke a line of
cavalry in rear of the guns, and drove it back on the third
line. But here our bolt was shot : the Russians formed
four deep, and our thin and broken ranks, and blown
horses, could not attempt to break through them, parti-
cularly as. the Russian cavalry had got- round our flanks,
and were prepared to charge our rear (with fresh men).
We broke-back through them, however, and then had to,
run the gauntlet, through the cress,fire of the artillery
and Minie.rifies, back to our own lines, with their cavalry
hanging on our flank. The heavy brigade, which had
made •a good charge of its own in the morning, covered
our coming out of action, and, lost some men from the,
artillery.

"'there is no concealing the. thing—the light brigade
was greatly damaged, and for, nothing ; for, though we
killed the gunners and the. horses of nine 12-pounders,
we could not bring them, away. * * It was a
bitter moment after we broke.through the line of cavalry
in rear of their guns, when I looked round and saw there
was no support beyond; our own brigade, which, leading
in the smoke, had diverged and scarcely filled the ground.
We went on, however, and hoped that their• own men
flying would break, the enemy's line and drive them into
the river. When I saw them form four .deep, instead, I
knew it was 'all up,' and called out to the men to rally.
At this moment a solitary squadron of the Bth came up in
good order. This saved the remnant of us ; for we rallied
to them, and they, wheeling about, charged a line which.
the Russians. had.formed in our rear. You never saw men
behave so well as our men did. As we could not hold
our ground, all our dead and badly wounded were left
behind, and we know not who are dead, or who are pri-
soners. All this makes me miserable, even to write ; but
it is the naked truth.

landers and their splendid front are soon forgotten ; men
scarcely have a moment to think of this fact that the 93d
never altered their formation to receive that tide of
horsemen. ' No,' said Sir Colin Campbell, 'I did not
think it worth while to form them even four deep!' The
ordinary British line, two deep, was quite sufficient to
-epel the attack of these Muscovite chevaliers. Our eyes
were, however, turned in a moment on our own cavalry.

feeble puffs of smoke came at long intervals. Behind these Captain Nolan pointed with his finger to the line of the

the approach to Balaklava. Meantime the enemy advanced tiered as followse—
his cavalry rapidly. The Turks in redoubt No. 2 ran in
scattered groups across towards redoubt No. 3; and towards
Balaklava, but the horse-hoof of the Cossack was too quick
for them, and sword and lance were busily plied among
the retreating herd. As the Lancers and Light Cavalry
of the Russians advanced they gathered up their skir-
mishers with great speed and in excellent order—the shift-
ing trails of men, contracted, gathered up, and the little
peloton in a few moments became. a solid column. Then
up came their guns, in rushed their, gunners to the
abandoned redoubt, and the guns of N0..2 redoubt soon
played with deadly effect upon the dispirited defenders of
No. 3 redoubt. Two or three shots in return from the
earthworks, and all is silent. The Turks swarm over the
earthworks, and run in confusion towards the town, firing
their muskets at the enemy as they run. Again the solid
column of cavalry opens like a fan, and resolves itself into
a 'long spray' of skirmishers. It laps the flying Turks,
and steel flashes in the air, and down go the poor Moslem
quivering on the plain, split- through fez and musket-
guard to the chin and breast-belt. The Turks betake
themselves towards the Highlanders, where they check
their flight and form into companies placed on the flanks of
the Highlanders. As the Russian cavalry on the left of their
line crown the hill, across the valley they perceive the
Highlanders drawn up at the distance of some half mile,
calmly waiting their approach. They halt, and squadron
after squadron flies up from the rear, till they have a body
of some 1,500 men along the ridge—Lancers, and. Dra-
goons, and Hussars. Then they move en echelon in two
bodies, with another in reserve. The cavalry who have
been pursuing the Turks on the right, are coming up to
the ridge beneath us, which conceals our cavalry from
view. The Heavy Brigade in advance is drawn up in two.
columns. The first column consists of the Scots Greys
and of their old companions in glory, the Enniskillens ;
the second, of the Fourth Royal Irish, of the Fifth Dra-
goon Guards, and of the First Royal Dragoons. The
Light Cavalry Brigade is on their left in two divisions
also. The silence is oppressive : between the cannon-bursts
one can hear the champing of bits and the clink of sabres
in the valley below. The Russians on their left drew
breath for a moment, and then in one grand line dashed at
the Highlanders. The ground flies beneath their• horses'
feet—gathering speed at every stride they dash on towards
that thin red streak topped with a line of steel. The
Turks fire a volley at 800 yards, and run. As the Rus-
sians come within 600 yards, down goes that line of steel
in front, and out rings a rolling volley of Minis musketry.
The distance is too great. The Russians are not checked.
but still sweep onwards with the whole force of horse and
man, through the smoke, here and there knocked over by
the shot of our batteries above. With breathless sus-
pense every one awaits the bursting of the wave upon the
line of Gaelic rock • but ere they came within 150 yards
another deadly volley flashes from the levelled rifle, and
carries death and terror into the Russians. They wheel
about, open files right and left, and fly back faster than
they came. ' Bravo, Highlanders! well done,' shouted
the excited sp-

one;. that the fame of Old England: 'was never sustained

hearts and stout arms could effect, wasdone by the gallant
victiths, not of steel, but of shot, shell; and grape. French
officers; who saw with dismay the madness of the act and
the certainty of destruction, expressed themselves amazed
at the invincible spirit displayed by our men. Through a
crossed-fire of three batteries did they penetrate, entering
one of these and cutting down the gunners on their own
pieces. The loss inflicted on the. Russian cavalry was
equal to that sustained by the British army ; but then we
have no reserves to fall back upon, and the men were of a
far difrerent stamp. The nation, will share the sorrow of
the army at the bitter loss .we have had; and truly the

No. 95. Before Sebastopol, Nov. 3.):...1854..
My Lord Dulse,-7-Since. / wrote to your graze on the
28th ultimo, the enemy have considerably increased their
force in the Valley of the• Tsehernaya, both in artillery,
cavalry, and'infantry, and' have extended to their-left, not
only occupying the village of Camara, but the heights
beyond it, and pushing forward picquets and:even guns
towards our extreme ,right ; and these yesterday fired a.
few shots, apparently to. try the range, which fell some-
what short

These an:moments have induced me to place as strong a
force as-lean dispose. of on the precipitous ridge in that
direction, in order to,prevent any attempt-to. get round to
Balaklava by the sea.; and the whole line strengthened
by a breastwork, which has been thrown...up by the High-
land,Brigade, the Royal Marines, and the Turkish troops,
thus circumscribing that part of the position; whilst im-
mediately in front of the gorge leading into the town a
strong redoubt is in course of being completed, which is
to be garrisoned by the 93rd Regiment, and armed with,
several guns ; and on high ground behind, and to the left,,
is a battery manned by seamen, which terminates the pol
sition to be defended by the troops under the commaufl:
of •Major-General Sir Cohn Campbell,.
Further to, the left, and in a more elevated position) is..
the brigade, of the Ist French, Division, commanded. by
General Vinois, ready to move to, the assistance of any of
the British force that may be.assailed, and maintaining
the connexion between the troops in the valley and those
on the ridge on which the main armies are posted.
Thebarbour of Balaklava is under the charge of Captain
Dacres, of the Sanspareil ; and Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund
Lyons is in the roadstead outside, and is in daily comma-
nication with me.

Thus every possible step has been taken to. secure this
important point; but I will not conceal from, your grace
that I should be more satisfied if I could have. occupied the
position in considerably greater strength.
With reference to the operations of the combined armies
engaged in the attack on Sebastopol, I have the honour to
state, that there is no material diminution in the enemy's
fire, and yesterday morning, two hours before daylight,
the cannonade from all parts of the south front was heavy
in the extreme, both on the French and British lines, and
it occasioned, I deeply regret to say, some loss, but less
than might have been expected under the circumstances.
In the meanwhile the French, who have before them
the town and real body of the place, have taken advantage
of the more favourable ground, and are carrying on ap-
proaches systematically on the most salient and command-
ing part of the enemy's lines; and they have constructed
and opened batteries, the precision of the fire. frmy.

yet they have not succeeded in silencing their guns.
The weather is still fine, but it has become extremely
31d, and there was a severe frost last night.
I beg to submit to your eraee the

aucUbles amongst me non-commissioned officers and rank
d file from the 22nd October to the Ist November, both
