The 3rd Division was only partially engaged ; but having 
been actively employed in all the fiege operations, Lieutenant 
General Sir Ilichard England avails himself of the opportunity 
to mention, in terms of high approbation, the staff officers and 
the officers in command of regiments, and has drown my 
attention to the services of Major Wood, Assistant Adjutant- 
General, the Honourable Major Colburn*, Assistant-Quar er- 
master-General, Captain Wortley, Deputy.AssistanUQuarter- 
master-General, and Colonel Bell, of the Royal Regiment 
Colonel Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment ; Colonel the Honourable 
A Spencer, of the 44lh; Lieutenant-Colonel Lowth, of the 
38th Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, of the 28th ; and Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Waddy, of the 50th Regiments; Major the Hon. 
A. Hope of the 60th Regiment ; Captain Darnell, of the 38th, 
Brigade Majors ; and Captain Edward Neville, Scots Fusilier 
Guards, his Aidc-de-Catnp. . 
The superior officers of thc4lh Division, Lieutenant-Genera 
the Honourable Sir George Cathcart and Brigadier-Genera 
Goldie, having fallen, and the survivor. Brigadier-General 
Torrens, having been severely wounded, I take upon myself 
to recommend the surviving officers of the staff, viz., Colonel 
Wyndham, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and Captain 
Hu<ffi Smith, 3rd Foot, Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-Gene- 
ral° Major Maitland, Deputy-Assistant- Adjutant-General, 
who is wounded; and Captain Street, 57th Regiment, and 
Lieutenant Torrens, ‘23rd Regiment, Brignde Majors ; and I 
may here express my deep regret that Lieutenant-Colonel 
Charles Seymour, Scots Fusilier Guards, should have fallen. 
He had served on the staff with the lamented Sir George 
Cathcart at the Cape, and had accompanied him to this country 
in the capacity of Assistant Adjutant-General ; and he was 
remarkable for’ his intelligence, gallantry, and zeal. 
I would likewise beg to solicit your Grace’s attention to the 
services of Colonel Horn, who commanded the 20th, and came 
out of action the senior officer of the division ; Captain 
lnglis, commanding 57th, and Lieutenant-Colonel Smyth, 
commanding the GSlh Regiment, who was severely wounded ; 
and Captain Dallas, commanding detachment of the 46th ; of 
Lieutenant-Colonel Ainslie, of the 21st, who was wounded ; of 
Lieutenant Colonel Swyny, who unfortunately fell at the head 
of the 63rd, and was succeeded in the command by Major the 
Hon. Robert Dalzell ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Horsford, of 
the Rifle Brigade; of Lieutenant-Colonel I). Wood, the senior 
officer of the artillery of the Division ; and Major Townsend, 
of the Artillery, who was unfortunately killed. He was con- 
sidered a most valuable officer, and was ably succeeded by 
Captain Hoste. Lieutenant-Colonel Powell would have com- 
manded the 57th, but he was on duty in the trenches. 
The officers of the Light Division whose services have been 
brought to my notice by Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown, 
who was obliged by a wound in his arm to quit the field before 
the action terminated, and by Major-General Codrington, who 
succeeded him in command, are Lieutenant-Colonel Yea, of 
the Royal Fusiliers; Major Sir Thomas Troubridgc, of the 
same regiment, who was commanding in a battery, and, 
though desperately wounded, behaved with the utmost 
gallantry and composure ; Major Bunbury, of the 23rd, who 
replaced him in command; Brevet-Major Mundy, command- 
ing the 33rd ; Lieutenant-Colonel Shirley, of the 88th, who 
was employed in the trenches; Lieutenant-Colonel Jefferies, 
commanding the portion of that regiment which was in the 
field; Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton, commanding the 77th; 
Majors Stratton and Dixon, of the same regiment ; Lieutenant- 
Colonel Unett, of the 19th. on duly in the trenches; Lieut - 
Colonel Lawrence and Captain Ebrington, of the Rifle Brignde ; 
and Captain Hopkins, commanding a detachment of Royal 
Marines, which had been brought up to replace a wing of the 
Rifle Brigade that had been &ent down to Bnlaklava, and fully 
maintained the reputation of that distinguished corps ; Lieut.- 
Colonel Lake, of the Royal Horse Artillery; and Captain 
Morris, commanding the battery attached to the division 
Colonel Sullivan, Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Lieutenant 
Colonel Airey, Assistant-Quarter-Master-General ; Captain 
Halle well. Deputy-Assi&tant-Quartermaster-General ; Captain 
Macdone”. and the other officers of the Lieutenant-General’r 
personal staff; Lieutenant the Hon. H. Campbell, Aide-de 
Camp to Major-General Codrington; and Brigadier-General 
Buffer's Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant the lion. H. Clifford 
whose conduct is represented to have been peculiarly com 
spicuous ; Captains Mackenzie and Glyn, the Brigadier 
Majors of the Division. 
It is due to the principal Medical Officers of the several 
divisions, Doctors Alexander, Cruickshank, Forest, Linton, 
and Humfrey, to report that their able exertions have been 
strongly represented to me, and deserve to be most honourably 
mentioned, and the arrangements of the Inspector- General of 
Hospitals, Dr. Hall, for the care of the wounded, merit the 
expression of my entire approbation. 
Lieutenant-Colonel Gambler, of the Royal Artillery, who had 
the command of the artillery in the trenches during the siege 
a duty which he discharged to my perfect satisfaction, was, 1 
regret to say, unfortunately wounded, when moving up with 
the two 18-pounders which I had ordered to be brought to the 
right of the 2nd Division ; and I have great pleasure in speak- 
ing iu terms of high panegyric of Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, 
who had charge of those guns, Captain D’ Aguilar, and the 
officers and men who worked them ; they performed under 
Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson’s directions the most effective 
service, notwithstanding that they had a very heavy fire upon 
them, and that their loss, in consequence, was very severe, 
seventeen men having been either killed or wounded, and one 
officer wounded. 
I derived, as upon every other occasion, the mo6t able and 
effective assistance from the Adjutant and Quarterinaster- 
Gencral, Brigadier -General Estcourt and Brigadier-General 
Airev, and their assistants, Major the Honourable W. Paken- 
hain and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, and the 
officers of their departments; and from the Military Secretary, 
Lieutenant Colonel Steele, Lieutenant-Colonel Poulet Somer- 
set and the officers of my personal staff; and I feel deeply 
indebted to Lieutenant General Sir John Burgoyne for the 
constancy with which he applies himself to the discharge of 
arduous duties, and the benefit 1 derive from his advice and 
assistance ; as well ns to Captain Gordon. Commanding Royal 
Engineers Captain Chapman, and the officers of that corps ; 
and to Major Adye, the Hon. Captain Gage, and Captain 
Fortcscue, the staff officers of the Royal Artillery, to the com- 
mand of which Lieutenant-Colonel Dacres has succeeded by 
the lamented death of Brigadier-General Slrangways, whose 
aide-de-camp, Captain Gordon, I would also bring to your 
0r f profi"°by M thi9 opportunity to render justice to two officer, 
whom I omitted to mention in my despatch of the 28th of 
Se ThTone. Captain Maude, of the Royal Horse Artillery, who 
has since been badly wounded, distinguished himself at the 
battle of the Alma, as I myself observed; the other, Captain 
W Pitcairn Campbell, became the senior officer of the 23rd 
Regiment when Lieutenant-Colonel Chester was killed, and 
though severely wounded, could hardly be persuaded to quit 
the field. 1 have > &c -» Raglan.

War -office, December 2, 1854. 
The Right Hon Sidney Herbert, M.P., the Secretary-at- War, 
has received no list of casualties amongst the non-commis- 
sioned officers and privates in the forces under the command 
of Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C B , at the battle of 
Inkcrman ; and it appears that no such lists can be forwarded 
to England until after the next or following mail, in conse- 
quence of the great difficulty existing in obtaining complete 
and corrected lists from the several regiments of the army in 
the Crimea. 
The following is a summary of the killed, wounded, and 
missing in the surprise of the 5th of November, 1854, of 
the English position on the Heights of Sebastopol, which re- 
sulted in a fierce and bloody battle, and the defeat of the 
enemy.

Summary of Totals. 
Killed 
Wounded 181® 
Missing I” 6 
Grand total 2470 
This table exhibits a curious return, perhaps singular in 
war details — the number of officers killed (43) exceeds that 
of the sergeants (32) by 11 ; and the number of officers 
wounded (101) is 20 less than sergeants (121). It clearly 
proves one of two things, either that the officers set a noble 
example of self-devotion, or that the Russians, from the con- 
spicuous dress of the officers, particularly aimed at them. 
It will be observed of the 196 missing, that 99 belong to 
tlie brigade of Guards, and 28 to the 20th Regiment, who so 
gallantly came to their assistance. It may, therefore, be in- 
ferred that they became mixed with the Russians, and were 
hurried down the ravines with the enemy in their retreat, 
and are now prisoners. 
It will be observable that the old 41st, the Welsh Regi- 
ment or Prince of Wales, lost the most in killed and 
wounded (167), and without a man missing. The Guards 
had 77, 141, and 151 killed and wounded in each of the three 
battalions. Next to the Welsh Regiment comes the Old 
Hertfordshire or 49th, tlie Princess Charlotte of Wales 
Regiment, bearing a loss of 160. The 20th, 30th, aud 95th 
show a return respectively of 143, 185, aud 135; the 21st, 
63rd. and 1st battalion Rifle Brigade, with a list of casualties 
of 110, 113. and 114 each ; the 88tli, Connaught, 104 ; the 
55th and 57tli, show each 81 and 92; the Artillery, 95. 
The casualties in the other regiments engaged run from 60, 
50, 40, to 30. 
Of the 27 regiments and corps engaged, who make a total 
return of 453 actually killed iu action, no less than 101 of 
that number belonged to the 41st and 49th, and 78 to the 
brigade of Guards. 
REINFORCEMENTS AND STORES FOR LORD 
RAGLAN. 
Infantry. — The following movements of regiments effected 
during the past month show the extent of the recent reinforce- 
ment of our Eastern army -.—The 9th Foot, from Malta to the 
Crimea; 14th ditto, from Malta to the Crimea; 62nd ditto, 
from Malta to the Crimea; 68th ditto, from Malta to the 
Crimea; 34th ditto, from Corfu to the Crimea; 71st ditto, 
1st Battalion, from Corfu to the Crimea; 17th ditto, from 
Gibraltar to the Crimea; 39th ditto, from Gibraltar to the 
Crimea; 89th ditto, from Gibraltar to the Crimea; 9Uth ditto, 
from Dublin to the Crimea; 97th ditto, from Canterbury to 
the Crimea. 
Royal Artillery — Captain Campbell’s company, 5th 
battalion. Captain WraggVa company, 6th battalion, Captain 
Graydon’s company, 1st battalion, and Captain Oldfield’ 
company, 4th battalion, left the garrison at Woolwich during 
the same month for the Crimea ; and the 2nd company of 
Royal Sappers and Miners from Woolwich, under the com- 
mand of Captain King, Royal Engineers, proceeded for the 
same destination. 
Royal Sappers and Miners.— The bounty money f or 
the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners has been raised to 
£7 15s 6d., and upwards of 600 men are wanted to complete 
the strength of that branch of the ordnance service. The 
second company embarked in the Royal Albert, 121, for the 
Crimea The men were armed with the old ordnance carbine, 
but, with the other corps sent to the East, they will all be 
supplied with MiniS rifles on landing in the Crimea ; it having 
been considered advisable that, with the exception of a few 
rifles to practise with on the passage out, the new and superior 
long-range small arm should be supplied to the troops m the 
most perfect condition on their arrival before bebastopol, con- 
sequcntly the Minie rifles were packed in cases and sent out 
in £ a ™P° r ^- R op LAD , E9 i n Southampton advertised to 
receive contributions of lint, linen,. knitted comforters muffa- 
tccs warm caps, furs, flannel, worsted stockings, list slippers, 
-Moves, books, newspapers, lucifer matches, pens, paper, 
enve'opes, ink, potted meats, arrow-root, tea, coffee, pepper, 
curry powder, jams, raspberry vinegar, biscuits, tobacco and 
pipes to forward free to the sick troops at Scutari, or to the 
fighting Englishmen at Balaklava. Large contributions were 
received, and forwarded by the Magdalena, which left South- 
ampton for the Crimea on Wednesday. 
Houses.— The screw-steamer Norman left Southampton, on 
the 3rd inst., with one hundred wooden houses for the Crimea. 
The timbers for these houses were done up in marked pack- 
ages, thirty of which form one house. The screw-steamers, 
Hetton, John Bowes, and Metropolitan, have arrived at 
Southampton, for the purpose of taking out wooden houses to 
the Crimea. Messrs. Cooksey, Brothers, at Southampton, 
have received immediate orders to place victualling stores on 
board the Hetton and John Bowes, and men were busy at the 
above-named port shipping houses the whole of Sunday. All 
the houses hitherto shipped have been received from Glou- 
cester Messrs. Driver and Sheppard, the steam sawyers at 
Southampton, have nearly got two hundred houses ready for 
^Balaklava, Nov. 12.— Mr. Brew, acting-deputy assistant- 
commissary-general, was a few days since sent off to Sinope 
and Trebizond to purchase wood for houses, &c. He was 
accompanied by Lieutenant de Vere, Royal Engineers. Since 
Lord Raglan has made up his mind to do what every one 
expected of him and the army-that is to winter in the 
Crimea, it seems strangely inconsistent that the preparation, 
for procuring suitable shelter for the troops should have com- 
menced about the middle of November. If some of the work 
is now done with extraordinary despatch, a few lucky regi- 
ments will be housed at the beginning of January, and in 
March the whole of the army- or what remains of it -is hkely 
to have the benefit of roofs over their heads. It is indeed 
said that wooden houses have for some time past been making 
at Gallipoli, and that these are on their way to our camp. 
God grant that it may be so, for life under canvas, on the 
open plain of Sebastopol, is a dreary and sorry sort of exist- 
ence. For the winter is at length setting in, and in its own 
peculiar way too. For a few hours each day the sun is warm 
and the air mild ; but each night and morning have their 
showers of rain, and boisterous, squally gales of wind Against 
these the tents afford little protection, and night after night 
tents, heavy and dripping with wet, are blown down, and 
spread over the heads of their luckless occupants 
Winter Clothing for the Troops.— On Saturday the 
Messrs. Almond completed the following] ^tract 
Ordnance for the Army in the East --44,01)0 fur cloaks, 44,000 
fur cap (helmets), 44,000 fur gauntlets (gloves), 44,000 
waterproof capes, 44,000 long hoots (cow-hide material), 
44,000 suits of inner clothing, 44,000 pairs of leggings, 10,000 
suits of fur clothing for officers. , _ , , 
The following is an extract of a letter from Corfu, dated 
Nov 26 — “ On the arrival of the news of the battle of Inker- 
man, and of tlie pressing need for reinforcements m the 
Crimea, the Lord High Commissioner and General Macintosh 
took upon themselves the responsibility of despatching forth- 
with to the seat of war the 34th Regiment, 
Corfu. They embarked last Wednesday on board the trans- 
port Gomelza, towed by a government steamer Both officers 
and men were in the highest spirits and health. I here are 
still four battalions of infantry and three companies of artillery 
in the Ionian Islands. In all about 2,000 "ten. .

been appointed for the selection of navvies, platelayers, anu 
others acquainted with railway work, to proceed to the Crime 
for the purpose of constructing a tramway from Balaklava w 
the entrenchments of the allies, and such other works as 
may be considered necessary, the temporary offices in the 
Waterloo-road were crowded to excess from an early hour, 
selection commenced at eleven o’clock, and, notwithstanding 
that each applicant had to produce testimonials of ability ana 
steadiness, in little better than three hours the contractors h
