Alfred was t'onversing with Lord Raglan at the Commander’s head- quarters, whun an orderly gulloped up from Buluklava with the intelli- gence that the Russians had made an attack there in full force. Alfred started up. ‘Your lord- ship will spare me 1’ he said, moving in the dam of the apartment. ‘ludeed, I will not,’ returned the Commander very quietly. ‘ [fit is, indeed, a serious attack, you will not be in time to join in the defence ; if it is such as the town has experi- enced of late, your presence will not he at all necessary, so lll'll either way you must remain. and accom- pany me with the smfl'to the heights which overlook the valley.’ SCENE As his lordship spoke he rung a small handâ€"be”, and gave orders for he saddlilig of his horse and the muslering,r of his stsz; and so pro- mptly were his instructions attended to, that in a few minutes afterwards, when he and Howard issued from the house. the officers and horses were waiting in the court-yard. Look deeper stiH. Inhou must feel. Within thy inmost soul. 'l‘hut thou has kept a portion hack, \Vhiie I have staked the Whole: Lot no false pity sparu‘ :ho blow. hut in true ‘ mercy tell me so. The sounds of heavy guns coming from the hills over the valley made them push on at a pace which ar- fnrdcd no opportunity for conversa- tion. and they soon arrived on the clifl's overlookingr the extensive plain. On the hill which the Commander selected for his post of ohservalion, a great number of spectators had already assembled, and were gazing eagerly down upon the doings below. N0 spot could be more favorable for the sight of a battle. It could be compared only to the slope of an amphitheatre, from which a specta- tor could with ease behold every part of the contest, mark all the movements in the various directions, rate the evolutions on both sides, and the result of every charge. As Alfred centered to the brow of the cliff, a little behind Lord Raglan, he noticed a gentleman whom he thought he ought to recognise, standing with a note-book in hisl hand, eagerly scanning” the objectsl below. He looked more narrowly at his short. thick-set figure and fine military-looking countenance, and recognised in him the correspondent‘ of the Times, whom he once so ne-l cidcntally encountered in the spoiled l _ l cottage on the banks of the Imtchn. ‘ RICHMOND IIILL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1559: TH I' A WOMAN 'S QUESTION FROM THE CRIMEA tltrtinlm. CA VA LRY CHA RGR. yet; and free as that which remember, I He but glanced at Mr. Russell. For the wide spectacle now presumed in the valley claimed all his attention. The Turks ware at the m mwnt fly- ing over the earthworks of Redoubt No. 3. and as they {led with screams oftcrror. the flying Cossacks were sabring them and trampling them down without merry. Alfred dismounted and approach- ed lhe correspondent. 'How do youdo, Mr. Russell?’ he said. ‘ Glad to meet yon again.’ ‘ Ah! Captain Howard,’ returned the other, holding out one hand.»- ‘Thero will soon be hot work going down below.’ ‘ \Vhat is lhc position bf alruirs T ‘Bml enough, solar. Those scoun- rlrel Turks have deserted the rcdouhls, and the Russians have not only got possession of them, but have turde their guns on the High- landers, who have been obliged to retire a little.’ He looked at the disposition of the British forces. To the left,just at the entrance to Balaklava, the High- landers were drawn upâ€"a long straight red line. firm as monk, and equally motionless. To the right, and immediately below, was the Cavalry, concealed from the Rus- sians by a slight wave in the plain, the Light Brigade, under Lord Car- digan, in advance, mad the Heavy Brigade, under Brigadier General Scarlett, in reserve. Towards the gorge and the rednuht hills were the Russians in great numbers and well equippedâ€"infantry, cavalry, and ar- tillery, with batteries and skirmish- Scarcely had he time to take in the position and appearance of the combatants when a general groan of disgust burst from the onlookers around him. The Turks had quit_ ted the last redoubt, and were run- ning pell-mell and in confusion to- wards the Highlanders and Balalt- lava. with all the Russian cavalry in pursuit. ‘The miserable cowards,’ mutter- ed Russell with vehement indigna- tion, as he jnttcd downa few words in his note-book. CTS ‘ Have they suffered any loss 1’ asked Alfred anxiousfy, for in :1 mo- ment his thoughts reverted to Norman. ‘ It is extraordinary, is it not ‘t‘ rc- lurncd Alfred. ‘The Turks were quite fumed for their fighting in Asia. ‘Ah, but.’ rejoined Mr. Russell, ‘Turks behind stone walls on the Danube are apparently vcry diIIL-r- cut beings from Turks in rcdoubls in the Crimea, and it appears that the Russians of Sebaslopol are not alall like the Russians 0i. Silislria.’ Every one was now waiting with breathless impatience tn behold the course at” events. The horsean all dismounted and sat down in sil-. ence on the hillside, realising at the moment how very dill'erent it was from sitting in the boxes at Astley’s to witness :1 mimic representation of a battle. They saw the flying 'l‘urlts nlfllx't: an attempt to form on the tllunk at the 93rd, and the {nssinns [muse when they came in sight el' the Highlanders. Then lllt.'ll' mnits closed, and down they rushed lulu: n whirlwind. The 'l'tnks lletl. 'l'he Highlanders fired :1 l'rnitless volley on the advancing horsemen. A lew minutes pause.

Another volley rang out from the valley, and both the 93rd and the Russian cavalry were enveloped in smoke, but out of the smoke and towards the north-east burst the horsemen riding away in wild con- fusion. ‘Bravo. Highlanders! Welldone, shouted the spectators on the hills and cheers, loud and prolonged eclmcd over the heights.

Away shot the Greys and Ennisltillens to meet them, the inter- vening distance being seareer suffi- cient to enable the horses to gather way. So much greater in length was the foremost Russian line that they brought forward their wings to surround the smull_handful,_and an: nihilnte them as they passed. But to avoid this danger the British dl- vergcd a little so as to meet the Russian right, and dashed on with a cheer and a shout to an encounter for which they had long and impatiently [)artted. more exciting.

The shock was terrific, but momentaryâ€"â€"a shivering concus- sion, a few sabre flashes, and the Greys and Enniskillcns are dashing on to the second line, leaving behind [hem a confused mass of Russian horsemen flying in all directions. ‘God help them ; they are lost !' éxclaimed one or two of the specta' tors, who, from their commanding position; could see every movement, for no smoke obscures a cavalry fight. This second Tine was coming up at full speed to retrieve the fortunes of the charge, and towards it. the victo- rious troopers were advancing with unabated ardour. - “These fearful trembling words alone broke the silence, for the sus- pense was too great for further ut- ternnce. The brave heroes at length met the second line. Again was the shock tremendous, and the British horse- men struggled desperately through. They succeeded, but were in a fear- ful position. The lirst line, shatter- ed though it was at lirst, and thrown into complete disorder, had re-form- ed, and was coming up upon them ; they had no time or room to form themselves, and could therfore make little further resistance. But deli- verance and triumph were at hand. At this critical moment the Royals and Dragoon Guards dashed with headlong eagerness at the remnants of the lirst line, went through it as an Equestrian does through a papered hoop, and smashed it thoroughly, then came with the same impetuosity against the second line, who were Sllll disordered by the charge of the Greys and Enniskillens. The whole llusaian cavalry were routed, and lled back towards the infantry, while the triumphant Heavy Briâ€" gade returned thll joy and pride to their position. It vi'ns a brilliant dashing deed. In five minutes the British cavalry had dispel'Scd like chall' before the wind :1 Russian l'orce nearly three limes its sil‘engih.

Jusl then a young Hussar officer rode briskly up the hill with des- patches. As he came upon the table- land his horse stumbled, and being off lllS guard at the moment, the rider toppled oll‘, and fell upon a piece of rock, brusing one leg and disloealing his right wrist. "A reply, your lordship,’ he said, in as firm a voice as he could com- mand, drawing a paper from his bo- som with his left hand, and handing it to the Commander. Lord Raglan opened it and read. ‘ But you cannot take back the answer,’ said the General, looking down upon him verv kindly. ‘It cannot be so personallv de- grading as you represent wHen it turns out such heroes.’ “Then it is the service which makes them brave 7.’ said Alfred in an enquiring tone. ‘But not on the highest principles,’ answered Alfred fearlessly. ‘ All is done under a pressure of penalty, and not out of a high regard for right and free manly independence.

It consisted only ol‘u few words, and was therefore soon i‘emlv. Alfred stepped forward,nnd eager- lry volunteered to go in his stead.â€" l‘llc officer looked up at him. No sooner. however, than Alfred, who was mounted on the Hnssav’s horse. and ready to start, when the General returned. He took the paper, bowed, turned the horse’s head. and rode briskly down the hill. Out into the plain he went, passing to the left of the Heavy Brigade, and riding forward to where the Earl of Cardigan with his light cav- ulry was stationed. He delivered the paper to the General, acquainted him with the accident which had be- fall-3n the young oll’iccr, and was immediately put into his place in the regiment. As the horsemen sat waiting in their saddle‘s. Alfred had an oppor- tunity ol’ scanning the scene. In the rear Were the heights, stretching from Baluklava to Inkermann, their southern slopes being covered with spectators, who had come crowding all the day from the camp to witness the battle. Conspicuous among the knolls was that occupied by Lord Raglan and his stafl, who could be detected in the distance by the white feathers in their cocked hats. Farther south could be seen the eas- tern side of the cliffs of Balaklava let-owded with sailors from the har- Whole N0. 62. A [iausc seemed to have taken place in the day’s terrible proceed- mgs, for the cavalry stood motion- less for more than an hour. But this was but a lull before the most awful tempest that ever broke on sea or shore. About two o’clock a solitary horseman was seen spurring down from the heights, on which Lord Raglan had taken up his place, and cantering over the plain. He came straight towards the Heavy Briâ€" gndn, andfgriding up to Lord Lu~nn, made a ct“ imunication to the Lle‘ nernl. me latter seemed to ln: startled. and +9 hesitate-“the horseâ€" man lil'ted his right arm impatiently. and pointed towards the gorge mul the Russian position.

The command was given to chargeâ€"the noble Earl himself laka ing the lead. livery one saw the desperate nature ol‘ the enterpris", but, with the steadiness of British soldiurs, no one hesitated or remun- strated. ‘ What guns 7.” asked the Earl in astonishment. The guns yonder,’ replied the horseman impctuously, who was Captain Nolan. 'Are you quile sure that is lln: import of llxc orLler?’ inquired llu: Earl will: grave seriousness. ‘Quito surc,’ replied the other. ‘I rccclved it myself from Lord Raglan.7 ‘Good IIcavcn!’ thought Alfi'm! to himself. ‘1his Is uler a mistake- 01‘ an act of sheer madness. If we ride down (a Nurse guns, we go to certain dumh. aml for no purpose.‘ Presently they came within range of the guns from the side attacks. and, after a few moments of appar. ently astonished hesitation. the Ros» sians opened fire on them. Among ' the first discharge was a shell. which exploded in front and struck Captain Nolan in the breast. Utâ€" tering a loud cry. the young impe- tuous oflicer quilted the bridle-rein, and his horse. wheeling round, car ried him back dead to the British lines. From this moment the tire became hotter and hotter, waxing fierce beyond all narallcl as they went nearer to the gunsâ€"the ob. ject of the desperate charge. It came upon them from three direc- lionsâ€"the right, left, and frontâ€"â€" and men and horses were shot dowu at every step. Bullets innumerable whizzed through their ranks, and heavy balls, reaching them while in the full force of their career, out oblique lanes in their orderly formation. It was a horrible storm, for which there was no shelterâ€"a veritable death-march through that long Open valley. With a foe on either side who knew no mercy. and against whom they were dt- fL-nceless, they pushed on their ter- rible way, becoming (bariully fewer at every step. and every moment placing themselves in a more hope- ‘less position. With savage fero- city the gunners on the heights foIIOWtzd with their pieces the course of the devoted horsemen, and hurl- ed their iron misstles again and again against them. Yet onward they went. quatling not, fiinchingr not. The object of the fiery ride was the guns, and steadily they kept their horses’ heads towards them. Thev were British cavalry, and knew no turning back. There were only two things they could contemplateâ€"death or victory.â€" and one or other every man among them was resolved on. They felt in full force the cruel hopelessness of their positionâ€"felt it from the very first; it flashed on their con-- sciousness in an instant when the order was given, and every moment was making it more vivid. Still the idea of disobedience never crossed the soldier’s brain. Heroi- cally, undauntedly they passed on. leavinga bloody trail behind them along the valley, and manyd: ad and dying upon it, to designate it for ever more ‘the valley of the shadow of death.’ Such was the scene on the British side ul'tlic field, and Alfredno'w tum- Cll to the front towards the ene ny. llel‘ure' them stretched a narrmv platln one and n-hall' miles in length. which terminated ina gorge leading to the northern and eastern lttlls.
