Mr. Upton, amEnglishman, resident in tho Crimea,,has
been captured, This gentleman is a son of an engineer.
employed,,,on. the. works of Sebastopol, and. resides in a
comfortable-country house in the suburbs:of the town.
Lord Raglan. rode up to the house, ignorant of, its occu-
pant, and was much surprised at the appearance of one -of
his own countrymen. It was thought that. much might
be leaxned3from so, intelligent and trustworthy, a prisoner,-
he was- accordingly carried off to the camp, where he wilt
be treated with, kindness in return for as much informa-
tion ashe ran: be induced to communicate.,

As- the 95th Regiment was advancing,
.a wounded,
Russian was-calling piteously for water, when poor Captain
Eddir.gton,.wliose heart was as kind and charitable as it
was: stout and brave, ran up to him, and, stooping, gave
him-„to drink, from a small flask of brandy, and water,
which; he: carried in case he should himself be wounded.
This revived, the wounded man, and poor. Eddington. ran
fbrward to join his company, when the wretch who had
jp.4 been. restored by his charity ft..-,ecl at. and shot him,
I* • best friend. This so maddenodJais poor. brother,.
Lieutenant Eddington, who was in„the. same regiment,
and close to him, that he, in perferMillg desPerate;deeds
of daring,,also fell, dearly selling his .life in avenging the
deathof his gallant brother. The; two poor fellows were
most affectionate brothers ; they fell: together, and two
better soldiers or braver hearts nsyer. wore, the cloth..

The transports which carried the heavy cavalry to. the
Crimea have met with a succession .of gales which fully
justify the fears of those who recommended caution in
navigating the Black Sea at the pealed of the equinox. A
transport has arrived in Buialgiere-bay, which tells a
dismal tale. She carried a portion of the Royals and 130
horses, and was towed by the PArnla. A gale came on
when she was about half-wayon her journey. The hawsers
parted immediately, and the unfortunate vessel was thrown
about for more than an hour, without being, able to set a
sail to steady her. So vkdent was the motion, that the
upper deck gave way, and, the horses above were precipi-
tated on those below. A...scene followed such as has been
seldom witnessed. The homes are described as actually
screaming with pain and:terror. Of course no one dared
to go near them, and the ,end of it was that of 130 only
twelve remained alive at the, conclusion of the day.
It appears that the.33rd crossed the river in deep water
up to their armpits under a shower of balls, and were first
to reach the opposite bank, the 23rd close upon them.
Col. Blake rode down so steep a, pitch to the river that
his horse went in,he,ad foremost andwas completely under
water for some seconds. The colonel never dismounted
all day, though the. other mounted offieers of his regiment
were obliged to.do so from their horses being wounded or
unsteady. Colonel Blake's horse got one ball in his jaw,
one in his side, and ,a contusion from grape in his chest ;
besides these, one ball was lodged in the saddle, another
in the holster, where the pistol stopped it, and a sixth,
ball hit the colonel in the, left wrist, ran up in the sleeve
to the el>ow, where it came out, having grazed the flesh
of the arm, but it was not of any importance. The colonel
was close to the colours all the time, and saw three of his
officers struck down in. succession who carried them. The
balls. in the horse were extracted, and the animal. was
doing well, and likely to recover.
A Russian inantry officer, in a letter to his friends in
SL Petersburg, writes :—" The battle (of the Al,ma) was
discontinued on our side solely because oar battalions
would have been exposed to the fire of the English and
French ship, guns, which have a long range. The battle
had for us no, advantageous result, for the enemy required
just as much time as we did to rally. The English, whom
we had on. our right wing, fought brilliantly ; we could
not deny them our admiration. The fire of the Mini 6
rifles, with their long range, did us a good deal of mischief,
and would have done us much more if the enemy had had
better shots among them. Our antagonist has not as yet
obtained the smallest advantage over us. The Prince
(Menschikoff) is quite well, and the state of the troops
very satisfactory. The cossacks are constantly bringing
in French marauders as prisoners, but it is a fact that we

have as yet not taken a single English marauder. The
old British Excellency (Lord Raglan) who commands up
there must be keeping up good discipline." -
LADY ERROL IN TUE. CRIMEA.—A correspondent from
the war says :—" Lady Errol is still campaigning it with
the light division. I hear that her noble lord is to sell
out as soon as this year's campaign is over. I look for-
ward to a very interesting work from Lady Errol's pen.
She is a shrewd, intelligent, and amiable woman (at least
so I am told by those thrown into her way), and these are
excellent qualities for getting up an agreeable book. Early
in the day I happened to meet Prince Edward of Saxe-
Weimar (of whom I knew nothing, save that he was
called prince by some), and asked his serene highness how
he fared during the rough hours of the night,—he an-
mend, ' Why, as well as j could; we got the brushwee4
