The Duke of Newcastle has received private letters from 
Lord Raglan, expressing his great regret that tho harassing 
duties imposed upon the troops, by the operations after the 
battle of Alma, had prevented the nominal returns of the 
killed and wounded of the non-commissioned officers and 
privates being made out in the different regiments in time to 
be sent with the despatches n-_ ,v published. 
The Duke of Newcastle expects them by an early mail, 
and they shall be published the moment they are received.

„ . . . “ Camp near the n ver A hna, Sept. 21 . 
, ■ ? . JonN »— Agreeably to promise I now write to 
you. '-too , in Ins Almighty goodness, has been very kind to me. 
Atter a day of very hard marching, hard fighting, and anight 
of very severe pain, I now sit under the shelter of a hayrick to 
attempt to give you an account of our first engagement with 
the Russians (a bloody ono it wo*). Well, my dear fellow, 
we landed on tho shores of the Crimea on tho 14th of Sep- 
tember, and on the 19th wo advanced towards Sebastopol 
about twelve miles ; our advanced outposts had a slight 
skirmish with the enemy's outposts tho snmo evening; we 
marched about 8 ii.ni., and came in sight, of the enemy’s en- 
trenched position about 12, noon, imdJI can assure you it 
wjls tho finest position any enemy over occupied ; nearly all 
of it was of nature’s forming, except the one that the Light 
Division and the brigade of the Guards took, these being the 
light, heavy (or 1st), 2ud, and ono brigade of the 3rd Divi- 
sion. About 1 o’olock p.m. tho Light Divisiou formed lino 
and advanced on the enemy’s position, tho Guards being in 
rear of the Light Division at. quarter distanco columns, and 
the Rifles out, at extended order, in front of tho Light 
Division. 
“ The position of the enemy was defended by about 90 or 
100 guns. 
" They commenced playing their guns on the Light Divi- 
sion at a distauco of about TOO or 800 yards, and the spent 
balls came ‘ canning ’ (this is a Scotch phrase) among our 
(Guards') feet like cricket-halls. 
“ Well, wo kept advancing till within about 200 or 300 
yards of tho river, when we formed lino and lay down. 
During the titno tho Light Division was crossing tho river 
nnd advancing to tho enemy’s intronehments. When we 
were lying down I assure you tho onomy had got our range 
to a nicety and kept dropping tho shot amongst us. No 
joke ! After that \yo got up and advanced through a viuc- 
yard towards the river, whore tho grape and canister woro 
flying about us like hail. Uowovor. wo got through tho 
vineyard without all being cut down. I cannot tell, but, wo 
thought of old England’s glory, and kept dashing on regard- 
less of anything that cann> in our way. Plenty of the men 
kept picking up grapes ( not gram) and eating them as wo 
went through the vineyard. When our regiment got ucross 
we wore iu confusion ; lint wo kept still advancing up tho 
brow of the hill. When we got up to the top the 23rd 
Fusileere (who had been handled moat, severely by tho 
enemy’s fire) wore ordered to retire ; this they did in great 
disorder through our ranks, t hrowing us into more confusion 
than before ; but, brave fellows, thoy*did tlicir'share of tho 
w'ork, and wo felt that our turn had come. Well, wo retired 
and got formed up, and advanced to about fifty yards of tho 
battery, when T received a musket shot in tho left arm. 1 
had my left side to the onemy, and I am only surprised tho 
ball did not go through my body ; it did not touch tho bone, 
it went right through the fleshy purt of tho arm ; but I 
thank God it is no worse. What took place after 1 was 
wounded I cannot say but from hearsay, but I boliovo our 
regiment took the intreuchment at the bayonet point. Tbo 
Russians fought very well considering they were under 
cover, but tho scoundrels would not face us in opcu ground. 
Our regiment was opposed to tho 31st Regiment of Imperial 
Guard, and fine strapping follows they ore. 
“ All the nobility and gentry from Sebastopol and its 
environs had erected a grand stand on a high position in 
rear of the Russian army, reminding one of Epsom races. I 
believe they came on purpose to sou tho Russians drive tho 
allied armies into the sea, but through the blessing of God, 
the giver of all victorias, wo turned tho tables, and sent thorn 
scampering ovor tho hill, like a lot of frightened deer. There 
is a Russian general taken prisoner; he says that they expected 
to hold their position fourteen or twenty days, hut wo let 
them see that they had not tho Turks to deal with, but British 
and French soldiers, and wo took tho position in three hours 
and a half. Thu Russian general said that whon ho was 
going against the English ho thought ho was going against 
men, but ho found them to be perfect devils, wishing to got 
up to tho caunon’s mouth, regardless of everything. I wont 
ovor the field the next morning, and of all tho sights I ever 
saw that was tho worst. There lay before mo the dead, tho 
dying, and tho wounded ; frightful to look at. I think for 
ono Englishman there wore four Russians; the Russians 
were lying behind their trenches four und six deep. All tho 
wounded are going on board ship to-day. I believe wo are 
going to Scutari.” 
“ Scutari (Constantinople), Sept. 28. 
" P.S.— Wo have got to Scutari at last, but I thought wo 
should not havu brought any men nt all, os tho men kept 
during the voyago quickly dying of theirwounds ; there woro 
only three surgoons on board to dress and look after 600 men. 
My dear follow, Englaud has a great deal to answer for, in 
not having sufficient medical men to attend tho wounded 
soldiers who risked thoir lives and bled for their country’s 
honour. I never lmd my arm looked at by a doctor from 
the day I received the wound till yesterday, but thank God, 
from previous experience, I was ublo to look after it myself, 
and the wounds of others also. During our stay on 
board tho ship many a bright man lost bis life through want 
of modicul attendance; wo threw about 80 or 100 over- 
board coming down the Black Sea: but it is just as bad 
at Scutari. Wo disembarked on tho 26th, and we bavo 
had neither tea, rations, nor anything except half a pound 
of bread. 
“ There was a draft of 300 men to have sailed to-day for 
the Crimea, but it was countermanded. I hear thoro 
are no more troops wanted iu the Crimea, as Sebastopol 
is all but dowu, but I canuot vouch fur the iruth of it. 
“ We lost obout 108 iuour regiment, and the British army 
about 1,200 or 1,300 altogether. Give my love to all. and 
God bless you. Good bye.” , „
