iormeo the brigade of the light division and on 'le ootn, ooth, and 95th regiments, which form eo the right brigade of the 2d division. In iac'' these regiments were directly exposed to the tremendous fire of the principal earthwork battery, ana came under range almost the mo- ment the advance was sounded. The rifles cot over the stream in such loose order that thev were wonderfully preserved, in spite of the ire. mendous storm of shot which rattled over them Colonel Lawrence had his horse killed under him. Major Narcott's charger received no less than five mortal wounds
 When the 7th got out of the stream. Col Yea found himself and his men at once under rance of the battery before they could form, and were obliged to advance pell-mel against the guns. Poor Mouck and Hare soon fell The colors were lost for time, for thrice did the enemv,s shot strike down the officers who carried them: but Capt. Pearson, aid-de-camp to Sir G. Brown, passed the last poor fellow who bore them, and he was enabled to restore them to the gallantcoonel They are torn to pieces with shot, The 33d, which crossed the stream the first, headed by Col. Blake, were moved down by round after round of shot and case.
 The Major, (Gough, Capt. Fitzgerald, Lieuts. Wallis and Warrington, Ensigns Stree and Greenwood, fell wounded in a few moments; Lieut. Montague was killed on the spot Young Worthington has since died of his wounds on board ship. The 23d, which was between the 7th and 33d, pushed on in advance, and were received by fearful fire of rifles and musketry, grape and canister Encouraged by the example of their brigadier, Codrington, and headed by their gallant old general, Sir George Brown, the noble brigade rushed up the steep. every moment diminishing their numbers, and ctr jOU ba wit o,,l right in front of the battery that the 23d received their severest losses.
 Whilst the first brigade of the Light Division was charging up the hill on one side of it. the left or 2d brigade of the 2d (Sir De L. Evan's) division was charging the enemy close to them and was exposed to similar fire, and met with similar losses. The 3Oth 55th, and 95th, left long lines of dead behind them, and just as they came to the battery sheet of lead passed through them like a sword. They were utter ly broken up. It was necessary to retire them to reform; and the Russians, seeing their retreat leaped out of the embrasures and breastworks, and actually charged them down the hill with the bayonet
 But few exchanges of the steel were made probably not more than half dozen bavonet wounds were inflicted, and bitterly did the ene- my repent his temerity. The shattered regi- ments re- formed, and cheeted on by their inde- fatigable Brigadier Penne- father, whose cour- age never shone more conspicuousIy than on this day, they drove the enemy up the hill to the shelter of their earthworks, and then sent them flying beyond the hill, pursued by volleys of Mimic balls, while Brigadier General Codring- toms noble brigade dealt the same vengeance on their opponents.
 While the guards were running up they fell fast, and at last the Duke, anxious at the loss of one regiment, seemed inclined to retire his men only for a moment to reform but was di- verted from doing so by the advice of Sir Colin Campbell. They continued their advance, therefore, swallowed up in smoke, and rent through every instant by shot, and, after mo- mentary check, rushed into the battery The Grenaders and Scots Fusileers contend eagerly for the honor of being first in, and still more eagerly for the honor of capturing the beauti- ful brass gun; and 1 confess 1 am not able to decide the controversy, which, will no doubt, be settled by the generals. l have already mentioned the fire of the Highlanders and it's effect Gin my former letter) and their appear ance at the other side of the hill, coupled with their deadly volley, caused the instantaneous route of the enemy
