His sword was found next day in front of the trench, broken in two and covered with blood. Lieutenant JAMES LAMB.-This officer served throughout the Crimean Campaign, and his conduct was conspicuous on the occasion of a sortie made by the Russians on the advanced trench of the left attack before Sebastopol, in December, 1854, when a few companies of the 50th. regiment suffered severely in repelling the attack.

O'LEARY.-This man (with another since dead) volunteered to go out to look for the body of the captain of his company, who was supposed to have been killed, in December, 1854, when the Russians made a strong sortie on the advanced trench of the left attack. The Russians were repelled, but (the night being very dark) it was some time before it was ascertained that the works were completely cleared of them.
