WITS " TIM LONDON FRIDAY [VENIRE, SEPTEMBER 20, 1922. COLONEL GORE. This may, to some persons, seem a trifling affair. We are extremely shy of the Amy; that is to say, we know it to be a very ticklish thing. But, when we get the red coats into print, we can tackle them a little. without danger of being banged or dunceoned. Poor Evans who was sent down to Manchester by the Westminster Rump, to carry en the farce of Purity of Election, in the North, had heard of some lighting and other transactions, going on between the geode-, men in red coats and the commit' people; and be took it int) his bead to give descriptions of the conduct of the red coats ; to find Lull of that conduct; and even, to characterise the profession; in short, to attack ,the cloth, the danger of which be might have known, be bad read Tow Jeers yetis ettautlos. which. by the by, would have been more profitable to him than speeding his time in studying the politics of the Rump. To touch the cloth is an extremely dangerous thing. This poor Evans was actually prosecuted by Lawyer SCARLETT for libelling the Army, just as a man in the North was lately prosecuted for libelliag the Parsons of the County of Durham. This last affair, owing to the very laudable exertions of Mr. Ilnoconaw, has certainly not tended greatly to the benefit of the black cloth. Bat such is the irritable Ware of the cloth in both , that it is extremely &sestet's to touch it. If, indeed, you touch the veil cloth, in a certain way, you may be hanged. We (should have sent or gone to Corporal Gamut the moment we had read the account of the trial of Co lonel Goes ; bat we know that to " endeavour to se duce a soldier from his duty," was, in the memorable 1317, made death ; and, to speak to Corporal (hates, and ask him to explain to as certain matters on which we wanted explanation, might have been deemed en &steering to seduce him from his duty: and we should not like to be hanged! Nevertheless, dangerous as it is to touch either of the cloths, there are eases, in which you may touch them without danger of dun geon or gallows. One of these cases is, when they themselves become poUishers: when they themselves resort to the use of the press; when they themselves come forth and challenge discussion i When we have the cloths here, we are as safe with them as we are with a usemLer of the sacred collective, when we catch him spouting at a T . Ilere we now have Colonel Gotta. The Court Martial that sat upon him has either caused to be published or permitted to be published, an account of its proceedings. Colonel Goat has caused to be published or permitted (o be published that which purports to be a literal coky of his written defence. We shall sot meddle witlaCo load Was, as an officer; but we shall Übe shell.- betty to handle him pretty freely as a polflieol44/4- sopher ; in which capacity be is pretty glib, and anyy a little copious. We shall not meddle with him as • man of the sword ; but as a man of the pea, he is ours to do what we like with ; and the public shall see that we know bow to handle him. Political philoso pby does not appear to have had much to do with his affair and that of Corporal GIORGI. That affair was very little interesting to the public, if the Colonel bad not made it the means of promulgating that which we deem false in principle, relative to the political state of the country, and injurious to the character and feelings of all classes of the people. except those who have the happiness to live epos the taxes. Mel press having been made the vehicle of those false principles, and these aspersions upon a large part of the people, it is proper that another part of the press should set the matter to rights; and this we intend that our paper shall do on Monday next. The Colo nel used his own discretion, as to the publication of his sentiments ; and we shall use our own discre ties with regard to the commentary to be made on those sentiments. The account of the trial has been very industriously circulated. We noticed before a peewees, which appeared is all the Mottling paPore, containing the very same words in every paper; and which omit have got into those papers either by ie. "Wien or by something else equally efficacious with THE CABINET. There are a number of rumours ideal with regard to who is to be the 0 •General of India. The Morning Chronicle teUs He that Mr. CHARLES WirteN is a candidate for the post; and that, if he should succeed, Mr. STUMM BOURNE Hill be the President of the Board of Controu!. For the sake of the neigh bourhood of Whitehall, we hope that this will not he the ease; for if this truly little man should be pat into that post, there will be such crowds of Hampshire woos, and their sous and cousins, all down that street and in that part of the park, that there will be no such thing as getting along. It will be a sight like that of a flock of rooks coming over Stephen's Castle Down, and dropping into a pea-field is Mr. LOCltHatree farms at Preshaw. The pea-fields at Preshaw, where there is not above false inches of soil over the chalk, bear oo slight resemblance to the pre sent state of the fodder-yards at Whitehall, which are became poor miserable things compared with what they were. Thoutrh so lately full, " cheerios," (Mr. CANNINO and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT recollect the " crib") in that great homestead are, now more than half empty; are continually getting more and more ' , empty, while there is not even a possibility of their being repleeished. The flurk of parsons, therefore, will he about in the situation of a flock of rooks that should drop into one of Mr. LOCKHART'. pea fields af:er the pease have been carted; and, if they stop tilt after the seat Session of Parliament is over, it will be like rooks dropping iota a pea-field at the end of a month's rummaging by the pigs. However. the parsons will not make a mistake like ibis, any more than the rooks would make such mistake; and these latter can, with their backs touching the clouds, distinguish a pea from a pebble of tiresome sure and shape. However. It is too late, as we have often told Mr. Monaca Twice: the breed is true; the scent is the right scent ; but the season is over and the game is tone. Wheat at four shillings a bushel says; " ha! sons of the true breed, the sea " son is past says, therefore, about people crowding to the Foreign °dice to get audience of the net Minister, has not much weight with es. The salaries of all his Am bassadors and Consuls will be pored down nest win ter, or, Peses Bill will be repealed; and then—up goes the Gridiron It is a declining concern. It is a corners that is lessening its expenditnre. It is a concern that mast Iwo its partisans; because its par flues have been booed to it by nothing bat interest. Tli LANDLORDS. We have good reseal] to believe that Mr. CAN:gm:Vs speech at Liverpool, together with his subsequent pro rootion,have led, even already, to several meetings of landholders in different parts of England. We do not mess public meetings; but meetings at each other's houses; where, without distinction of Whig or Tory, they have been 'consulting on ;ohs' they shell de to preserve their Mates. They see, we are well assured, from the beat authority, that it Is time for them to cease to be tools In the hands of those who have so lung been bringing them to rain ; that it is time for them to cease to be the partisans of one side or of the other side; that it is time for them to drop all party distinctions ; and, to " make a eland," not against " Denweratieal Raeroaehavest," not aping: a " lore degraded crew" of Reformers ; but against a system that must, if it proceed, drive the labourers to desperation, send the farmers to the workhouse, and strip the landlords of their last acre! In using these words, we do little more than copy from a paper which has been shown to us, and which we are well assured was agreed to by twentyercea gentlemen, eat of whom not leas than five were members of Parliament, three of whom have always hitherto voted with the Ministers through thick and thin ! We are quite sure of the correctness of our information ; and we believe, that the Ministers have had more than one intimation, or, at least, they will ha►e, upon the subject. We cannot disguise the pleasure we feel at hearing of this. It seems like a return to reason after long going in in the paths of madness. These local meetings of the landlords must be productive of great aid good effect. We shall take an opportueity, before it is long. to ed ae u. to them a paper. which, we trust, will teed to confirm them in theii laudable intentions. A stand they must make, or down they must come for ever. STOCK RICHANGe. TWKLJ' O'CLOCK. Up to this hour. there appears to be a heavy market, without any fluctuation.
