[P rice NARRATIVE OF PARLIAMENT AND POLITICS. Both Hoiuea of Parliament re-asaexiL bled on Tuesday, the 2drd inst. In the H0T7SE of Lobds theL oud Chancbllor oommnnicated a letter from Admiral Dandas, acknowledging the resolutions of thanks to himself and the officers and men of theB lackS ea Fleet. The Earl of Ellbnborovoh gay notice that on Thursday next he should move for a Return of theN umber aT roops sent 9ttt to the Crimea, distinguishing the infantry, cayalry, and sailors, and also the number of killed, wounaed, sick, and otherwise disabled. Earl Gbet gave notice that on Thursday next he should ask a question of Her Migesty sG ovemment respecting theO rders sent out to the Commander-inC hief at the Cape of Good Hope to send home the I2ih and 9lst Regiments. The Duke of Richmond moved for a copy of the order Granting Medals to the Army in the Crimea. He called attention to the omission of the troops engaged at Balaklara. When your lordships (said theD uke) consider the terms of the despatch in which the battle of Balaklara was commmunicated by Lord Raglan, who must be regarded as a pretty food judge of what took place, you must acknowledge tnat the conduct of theS cotch Highlanders in resisting the attack of a vast numerically greater body of Russians was worthy to be deemed a victory; and although overmatched by numbers, as they ultimatelv were, it was impossible that greater bravery could be displayed. Tour lordships ought never to forget, the country can never forget, the splendid conduct of te Light Cavalry under the command Qf my noble friend, whom I am happy to see in his place, when making a charge in pursuance of orders, which I venture to say it was utterly impossible to carry out.
