The Guards only arrived from the trenches this morning, but, to their great credit be it said, they turned out again without a murmur after a rest of a couple of hours for breakfast, although they had been "on" for forty-eight hours previously. The Third Division and a portion of the Highlanders were sent down to do the trench duties in the evening and night. From the following statement of the loss sustained by the Light Division it will be seen that this gallant body, which behaved so well at the Alma, and maintained its reputation at Inkermann, suffered as severely as it did in gaining the former gi-eat victory; and an examination of the return, which is tolerably correct, and is certainly rather imder the mark, will, I fear, show that the ■winter, the trenches, and careless recruiting have done theii* work, and that the officers fm-nished a noble example of devotion and gallantry, which their men did not imitate.
In the Light Division there are 73 officers and 9G1 men wounded — total, 1037. The loss of this division was 1001 in killed and wounded at the Alma.
