THE BATTLE OF BALAC LAVA. C I I I 0 Each horseman drew hie battle blade,

And furious cvery charger neighed ojoin the dreadful revelr . Then shook the hills with thttn er riveu, Then rushed the steed to battle driven, And louder than the bolts of heaven l"sr flashed the rod artillery.

The combat deepens. On ye brave, Who rush to glory or the grave: I O C I

I-‘ew. few shall part where many meet!

The snow shall be their winding-sheet,

And every turf beneath their feet, Shall be it soldier’s sepulchre.

Had Campbell stood upon the heights, watch- ing the fearful tournament. when, in the face of an army of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, our gallant Light Brigade, knowing their doom, charged to certain dcntli, were determined to die hard, he could not better have described the fatal combat of Balaclava. There, making up, steady as on parade, rode beardless bo s, " mothers’ curled darlings,” side by side with the brown, bearded heroes of Indian warfare-— Moodkee, Aliwal, and Sohraon: and, though the shell and shot of cross-batteries tore hu c

eta emptT-::'l man a saddle, no unwoundcd man—private sol ier or otlicer—checked his rapid, steady pace, or swerved to right or left. On strai ht they rode, a handful of heroes, and sabred all before them. Lord Cardigan leaped the parapets before the Russian guns, as coolly as he would an ox-fence in Northamptonshire. Then followed the moment of the fearful melee, which our Artist has seizcd—the gunners were out down at their guns—the opposing lines “ broken, beaten, driven all adrif ." But there is a limit to everything—horses are blown, men tired out, squadrons scattered. Then was the moment for reserves to have fallen on the dis- comlltod enemy ; but, alas! we had no reserves. Au Hussar writes-—“I turned to look for re- serves, my heart sunk—thcro was nothing but our thin second line.”

Progress of the War.

SIBGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

The Times’ corcspondent informs us from the camp, under date Nov. 25, that I50 siege has been for many days practically suspended, that our batteries are used up and silent, and that our army are much exhausted by the effects of excessive labour and watching, and by the wet and storm to which they have been so incessantly expo- sed:—

Till wuarnsu.

“It is now pouring rain—the skies are black as ink—the wind is howling over the staggering tents—the trenches are turned into dykes—in the tents the water is some- times ti foot decp—our men have not either warm or waterproof clothing—they are out for twelve hours at ti time in the trenches- they are plunged into the inevitable mise- ries of ti winter cempaign—snd not a soul seems to cure for their comfort, or even for their lives. These are hard truths—but the people of England must hear them. They must know, that the wretched bog ar who wonders about the streets of Lon on in the rain leads the life of a prince com- pared with the British soldiers who are ti hting out here for their country, and win, we are complsccntly assured by the home authorities, are the best appointed army in Europe. They are well fed, in- deed. but they have no shelter, no rest, and no defence against the weather. The

On dil that all the men will be hutted by the 15th of the month, and 15,000 planks have been or- dered up to Balsklsva, for the urpose of constructing sheds and huts. he Fire- brsnd, Stromboli, and other vessels have already arrived with stores of wood for that purpose.

their ollicers, fou ht their way back, only saved from total annihi stion b the desperate charge a a one of the Itusoian tteries made by the C assours d'Afriquo.

And so, in a purposeless attack, our Light Cavalry Brigade was destroyed, thus alfording one more instance of the mistake to which English cavalry oliicers have always been prone -—attempting too much.

To attack an enemy of superior force, in the three arms, unbroken by previous tire of artil- lery, is against the first rules of cavalrv sorties; to attempt such it charge without an 'cient re- serves, in the presence of an enemy superior in csvalry—shoer folly.

But to fully appreciate the determined valour of the heroes 0 Balaclava, our non-militnr readers must understand, that a charge over a. distance of ti mile and a quarter is ncta mad gallop at full speed, in which every horseman rides as hard as he can ; that would be merely running away toward the enemy.

The charge is a measured paco——trot, cantor, gallop; the gallop timed by the commanding oficer, so as not to outpace the slowest horse in the Brigade, and kee all in hand, until the last hundred paces, an then to fall in a com- paot, irresistible body on the enemy's line.

The severe lesson and loss we have oxperien- cod from the want and the misusage of cavalry in the Crimea should not, however, dishoarten us, but rather direct our attention to the ex- cellent raw material we possess-—material in ever way superior to that of any countr in the wor d, if we can get rid of Contineuta imita- tions, and the legacies of frippery left us by George IV., and his dandy Hussars.

Cavalry “ ought to be at once the cye,the feeler, and the feeder ofthe army.” It reaps the fruit of victory, covers a retreat. and retrieves a disaster. Cavalry consists of Heavy Cavalry, Dragoons, and Light Cavalry. Heavy Cavalry, composed of large men mounted on heavy powerful horses, are held in hand for decisive charges on the day of battle, and than horses are so overwei htsd, that they require Light Cavalry to fol ow up the enemy I they avo beaten. The greatest posstblp care is taken 0 Heavy Cavalry in tho field. 'Ihey do no outpost

duty, no foraging, no rcconnoitring ; they can- not be made use of even to escort a convoy, be- cause, if kept out long on the rond,_thcir horses fall ofl'in condition and become incapable of can ing their riders. Dragoons were ori-

iually intended to be infantry z-is-tinted on

orscs. In our service, they are divided into light and heavy, the heavy being brigsded with the household troops when in tho held. Light Cavalry are required to watch over the safety of the army. h0W|’lntt °"_ El‘? “Ml” “d in the rear, to prevent all possibility ofa sur- priso. In open country they push on, and keep the enemy at a proper distiinco Having the command of swift and powerful horses, we destroy their speed and endurance b placing giants upon them. The ofiiict ofa c urge depends more on the swiftncsa and freshness of the horses than on their weight. Velocity makes weight. Fashion has led us to put our Grenadiers upon horseback. The [lun- rian Hussnrs, the Polish Lancers, and the Chasseurs d‘Afrique are ten-stono men, and the two former have repeatedly ridden down lieav Cuirassiers. The efliciency of the latter is we I known.

Tits Routine ann ‘run Zouvta.—lt was some time ago stated in the papers that an old Russian naval officer at Se- hastopol, hud.i cannon brought into the street by his servants, and smuseu himself by firing at the hesicgers. From time to time the Francs Tireurs picked of the ser- vants. but they were daily renewed by others, and every attempt of the best marksman in hit the old ollicer had failed. The ‘ Prcsse’ now ublishes a letter from

ed by torrents of rain, let the wet through ‘like sieves,’ and are perfectly useless as protections against the weather. A hund- red military ‘0felli’ will send home word of this to England, and it is now impossible for any English general to control the correspondence of oflicers and men un- der his command, though in despotic coun- tries the censorship of the press ms succeed in restricting to the terrified hear-tlis and homes of families the depressing and anxious influence of letters from the seat of we

r. “ It will be quite useless to send out more cavalry here at present. The horses ofthe small force already out here are in a wretched state, and can scarcely be fed, and, as it is, the mortality among them is very great. It is proposed, I understand, to send all the cavalry and Horse Artillery in here, and quarter them in the houses of Balaklava for the winter. Many sick dra- goons have been sent down to No. 5-! transport, and the Victoria steamer is con- verted into an hospital of recovery for sick oflicers and men of the army and marines.

NEW sarrsitv arms. In his letter ofthe 26th he says: “The Stromboli has arrived in Balaclava harbour from the fleet, carrying 16 3'2-pounders from the armament of the Br-ittannis, and the Firebrand came in this afternoon with 2! guns of the same description, and about 60ton wciglitof shot and shell. There are also some new guns landed {mm the Queen of the South, direct from England, and large stores ofammunition are lying on the beach in readiness for transport, but

“ Nov. 28.—All the scum ofthe Levant —-Italians, Smyrnotes, Perotes, Greeks, and rohhers—which had resolved itself for the nonce into domestic servsntry, and accompanied the expedition since it left Gullipoli, is gathering itself up and return- ing to its source. The rats think the ship is sinking; they declare they cannot endure the cold and hardships of the camp any longer, and they are getting away as fast as they can to burrow in the dingy cafes of their nasty cities. ’l he inconvenience of this proceeding to their luckless masters, who are thus deserted Ll their utmost need, is excessive.

“Nov. 29.—A storm of wind and rain; the camp miserable to a degree, and Balaltlava intolerable. The heavy mortars with which the Golden Fleece was laden have been landed, but there is no chance of moving them, or the new gunsaud ammu- nition on the wharf.
