ROEBUCK thereupon asked the noble lord at ourtb , the head of the Government, whether it would be with in the scope of his duty to send by its means and in quire what really had happened there of late ? (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention to ask his right hon. friend at the head of the War De partment, to request the Commander-in-Chief to let them have some news every day. (Hear, hear.) RECRUITING OF THE CAVALRY. Colonel BOLDERO asked the First Lord of the Treasury whs.t arrangements had been made as regards the intended encampment at Aldershot, and whether the force will consist of cavalry, yeomanry, arlliery, line, and militia regiments ?

ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the f•.l- lowing bills, viz. :—Convention with Sardinia ; Pur cha§ers' Protection Bill; Lunacy Regulation Act Amend ment ; Commons Inclosure ; Dean Forests, &c. ; Wool wich Consumers' Protection Gas ; Pudsey Gas ; Cam bridge University and Town and Water ; Taunton Gas; Hoarwithy Bridge Bill. The Royal commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyle, and Lord Monteagle. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH THE CRIMEA. The Earl of HARDWICKE said that inasmuch as it was reported that the telegraph had been completed be. tween Balaklava and London, he wished to know whe ther the Government had received any commun:cfrion as to what had occurred in the Crimea within the last 24 hours ? W The Earl of HA.B.ROBY said that he understood a telegraphic despatch had been received, informing the Government of the completion of telegraphic communi cation between this country and the East. He bad not heard that any other despatch had been received since hen. ARMY BEFORE SEBA.STOPOL COM MITTBE-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our first edition.) In reply to a series of further questions from Lord Seymour, Deputy-Commissary-General Smith went on to say that he believed there was always a full supply of rice and other articles of food at Varna. He had always a supply at Constantinople, which he sent to Balaklava whenever it was required. To the best of his knowledge they never felt a want of rice or such articles at the latter place. He attributed the delay that took place in the case of the Harbinger, which caused the whole of her cargo of vegetables to be Toiled, to the conduct of Admiral Boxer in detaining that vessel so long a time at the Golden Horn. Admiral Boxer was the supreme naval authority at Constanti nople, but he had no control over the transport service. By Mr. Layard—Being in want of additional tran sport means he applied to Admiral Boxer, but the reply he received from that officer was that he had no vessels at his command. By Lord Seymour—The coaling system - at . Constanti nople was very inefficient, and caused great delay. At Malta the case was very different: By Mr. Layard—lt was his own suggestion that de pots of various kinds should be established at Constan tinople. There never was a want of supplies so far as the Commissariat was concerned ; the difficulties which arose were at Balaklava. He thought if proper order aed regularity had been observed, no difficulty whatever in the shipping of supplies at the port of Constantinople need have occurred. He attributed the confusion which, in the latter part of the year, was occasioned in connec tion with the Commissariat to the disorganisation of the arrangements produced by the gale of the 15th No vember. Cattle might have been obtained in abundance from the country around Constantinople, and 'eight have been- conveyed to Balaklava had the tran sport department been in any , way adequate. The Commissariat never had any difficulty in procuring forage corn—the only place where the want of it was felt was the camp. (Laughter.) By far the cheapest operation was the supply of fresh meat to the army whilst at Constantinople, as compared with salt and pre served meats. Salt meat, however, it was necessary to keep =in store in case of failure in obtaining the usual supply of fresh. He suggested in his report that a supply of fire-wood might be obtair.el about Constantinople, and a quantity was -ac cordingly laid in, preparatory to the arrival sf the army. A depot was opened there afterwards for feel, from which charcoal and other articles were forwarded to the Crimea. They were, however, not-sent regularly, as he found it utterly impossible to find vessels to con vey them. The Chairman—Are you aware that at that time ves sels were lying unoccupied in Belaklava, har+e ? Witness—Yes ; I have reason to believe such was the care. By General Peel—lt is not usu , i,i for the Commis,a ria,t to supply an army with fuel, but he was called upon to supply it by a requisition from the Ct.nimissary- General, which he fancied must have been made by Lord Raglan's orders. He complied with it to the best of his ability, and was prepared to supply the troops with wood and charcoal to any amount. The Chairman—Then, as far as you were concerned, you were quite prepared to supply fuel if you could have found means of transport Witness—Yes. The witness here, at the request of the committee, I read some letters he had addressed home to Sir Charles Trevelyan on the subject of the want of transport ar rangements at Constantinople, and descriptive of the state of confusion which existed in this respect at that place. He also stated that his official letter-book, which he had unfortunately not brought with him teemed with importunate letters to Admiral Boxer, to make arrange ments required to meet the pressing wants of the c.)in missariat service—importunities which Admiral Boxer, he said, characterised as a " bore." (Laughter and sen sation.) He did not wish in any way to disparage the character of Admiral Boxer. He was a brave man and an excellent sailor ; but he had not the administra tive talent sufficient to enable him to cope with success with the multifarious duties that con tinually devolved upon him. Admiral Boxer left Gm stantinople for a new appointment at Balalc:ava in January. Mr. Layard—Do you know any cases in which vessels loaded with commissariat stores were detained at Con stantinople Witness—Yu. Mr. Layard---Can you mention any ? Witness—Yes. The Arabia, laden with deals for the constructio❑ of magazines and charcoal, was detained until the fair wind with which she ought to have set sail had subsided, because proper promptitude was not iied in towing her out. _ _ _ By M. Layard—He suggested in his report that light carts capable of being drawn by the animals of the coun try should be sent from home. He quite agreed with the opinion that a country ought. as f►r as practicable, to furnish its own means of transport, but he did not think that Turkey could have done so without some external aid. So far as the Turkish Government was concerned he al Wa.) found the readiest disposition to do everything in their power to supply any wants which were felt. He cou•.d not say whether it was true that the wooden huts sent to the Crimea could not be erected because there were no nails. He might say, however, that after the gale he was called upon to furnish a large quantity of tools for the use of the troops. The Turkish Custom-house was wretched in the extreme, but no delay was occa,iioned to the supplies in consequence, because they had not to pass through it. The Committee adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock until to-morrow. OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM FIELD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. ( From supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR-DEPARTMENT, APRIL 26. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following a.ra copies, ad dressed to hie lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 14, 1855. My Lord,—Sinoe I wrote to your lordship on the 14th instant, a steady and heavy fire upon the works of thp enemy has been maintained from all the batteries of the Allies. The fire of the British artillery, chiefly directed against the Garden Batteries, the Barrack Battery, the Redan, the Malakhoff Tower, and the Mamelon, has been most effec tive, and the enemy's works have suffered very considerably, although they have, as usual, made a good use of the night to repair damages, notwithstanding that the vertical tire has been continued throughout the twenty-four hours. The practice both of the Naval Brigade and the Artillery has been excellent. The casualties have not been very numerous, but the loss has fallen heavily upon the sailors, as your lordship will see by the accompanying returns, and the Royal Navy has to deplore the death of Lieutenant Douglas, who had served with great ability and zeal from the commencemlnt of the siege. Lieutetiants ITrinston and D'Aelh, Royal Navy, and Steele, Royal Marine Artillery, all valuable officers, havo bcen wounded. The Royal Artillery has also to lament the death of Lieutenant Luce, who was an officer of much promise . and Lieutenants Sinclair and VEstrange are among the wounded. The former has sustained several severe in juries, but I am happy to add that there is every hope of his recovery. They are both highly meritorious officers. Captain Crofton, of the Royal Engineers, who had in the course of the protracted operations before Sebastopol tendered most essential service, has also received a wound, which will, I fear, detain him from dirty for a very con siderable time. EXPORTATION OF HORSES. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he had reason to believe that there had been an unusual exportation of horses from this country, particularly within the last t- ix months. He was lately at Folkestone, where he was informed that there was as many as 1,000 horses ex ported from that place to France within the last three weeks. He wished to ask the Government whether they were prepared to take any steps to prevent such exportation. Lord STANLEY said heitelieved that the attenti ,, n of the Government had not "Xen called to the subject, and he did not think that they had any intention wilat ever to limit the. exportation of horses. Lord CAMPBELL said, when he was Attorney- General some year's ago, his attention bad been called to the exportation of horses that was then going on. He then examined th e l aw on t h e su bj ect, an d he found tl though there were' some ancient statutes which lirnled the exportation of horses, th os e statutes had u.l;se quently been repea l e d. The Government therefor-) hal no,power to prevent this trade being carried on. The Earl of MALMESBURY then moved for a re turn of the- Rl:ribber of horses that had been exported from this cnuntejtsiece the let January, 1854. After a few words from the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Earl GREY said ha was glad to hear that there was no intention to prevent the exportation of horses from this country. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS. -(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. The Birmingham Water Bill was read a third time and passed. Colonel FREESTUN presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Weymouth, praying for the entire abolition of church rates. SOUTH-EASTERN AND LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAYS. Mr. PORTAL moved that standing order No. 177 be suspended as regards a petition deposited in the Pri; ate Bill-office on the 23d of March, relating to the South- Eat-tern and London and South-Western Railway Com panies ; aid that the said petition do stand referred to the committee now sitting on the London and South- Western Railway Bill. MESSAGE FROM . THE LORDS. The Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the table to summon the Speaker' to the House of Pe€:rs to hear her Majesty's assent to several bills (for which see our report of the House of Lords). The SPEAKER baying returned from the House of Lords, Mr. PORTAL proceeded to enforce the arguments in favour of kis motion. Mr. DRUMMOND seconded the motion. Mr. W. PATTEN opposed the motion, as he believed the railway would not be in any way prejudiced _if this petition was referred to the committee. Mr. FREWEN supported the motion. After some remarks from Mr. BOUVERIE, The motition was agreed . to. • PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. Hcrsfall, from the West India Association, against the proposed increased duty on sugar ; by Mr. Muntz, from Birmingham, signed by 12,000 people, including the Mayor and ex-Mayor of that town, against the Sunday Beer Bill ; by General Peel, from Huntingdon, against the bill for closing pub lic-houses on Sundays ; by Mr. Roebuck, from Sheffield, with a similar prayer ; by Mr. Packe, from Melt.)u- Mowbray, with the same prayer ; by Mr. Bright, seve ral petitions from Manchester i with the same prayer ; by Mr. C. Druce, several petitions from places in Scotland against the Lord Advocate's Education Bill ; by Mr. E. Ball, from the Islo cf Ely, for the abolition of church rates ; by Mr. Biggq ' from friendly societies in Leicester,, against the Beer Bill of last session ; by Mr. Cowan, from Edinburgh, against the Maynooth grant. A num ber of other petitions were presented by hon. members, the purport of which we could not catch. DECIMAL COINAGE. Mr. B. SMITH gave notice that when the hon. mem. ber for South Lanctshire brought forward his motion relative to decimal coinage he should move an humble address to her Majesty, praying for a congress of all nations, at some convenient place, with a view to the adoption of a common standard of money, weights, and measures. MILITIA. On the motion of Lord LOVAINE returns were or dered, " showing, in columns, the number of vo!un teers actually serving in each regiment of militia, em bodied or under training in the United Kingdom on the Tilt day of March, 1855'; the number of volunteers actually serving in each such regiment on the 15th day of April, 1858 ; 'the number of volunteers enrolled previous to the 12th day of May, 1854, who left each such regi ment after publication of a circular from the War-office, dated the 27th day of March, .1855 ; the number of volunteers so enrolled who took the bounty of it., offered in the same circular, to complete their term of service, and the amount of such bounty paid in each regiment ; and the total number of all ranks (di Ca= guishing the same) effective in each such regiment of Militia on the 15th day of April, 1855. -LETTERS PATENT. On the motions of Sir J. SHELLEY a return was ordered of the names and addresses of all persons who have petitioned the Lord Chancellor to extend the time for sealing letters patent, or filing specifications, under the Act 16 and 17 Vie. c. 115, steting whether no orcla r, or any, and what order, was made, in each case. RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. Mr. ALCOCK asked the Vice President of the Board Of Trade, if he will consider it consistent with his duty Prot to opp ose any bills promoted by the South-Eastern, South-Western, or Great Western Railway Companies, tinless they guaranteed that the junction railway fr , m Reigate to Reading (which w granted by Parliament for the p urpose of uniting by railway the ports of Dover, Southampton, and Bristol), sh ou ld be in fact, as w e ll a s In name, a Jeection Railway," by causing junction stations to be male at the points of junction at Farn borough and Reading. Mr. BOUVERIE replied that he was not prepared to go the length implied by th e h un. gentleman's question. INCOME TAX IN S COTLAND. Mr. W. LOCKHART asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it was his intentio n , i n dealing with tiie r i nco me-tax, to remove the injusti ce t o w hi ch the p o p tors of lands and houses in Scotland are subjectedin re - spect that no deductions are allowed to them for rates or taxes, in accordance with the practice in England an I Ireland. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Bali his hon. friend seemed to be under the inrpression tl at there was a difference in respect to Scotland with rega d to deductions. Such was not the case, though in some respects tie Scotei landlords laboured under disade ai . Lege compared with those o f E ng l an d and Ireland. Th e question bad, once before been under consideration, and it was not his intention to propose any general alttr .- tion in the income tax relative to Seel' end. THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOT. _,--- In reply to Colonel BOLDER°, Lord PALMERSTON said arrangements had been mad e f,, erecting huts for 10,000 men at Aldershot, which would be very soon ready.

The enemy's fire has been comparatively slack, but the practice good, and owing to their having ascertained the range of our batteries with great nicety, several guns have been disabled in both the right and left attacks. Towards the Tchernaya nothing important has been ob served, but small bodies of men, from 150 to 500, ha e been seen, ith a heavy gun and some ordnance carriage , , moving along the Inkerman heights towards Mackenzie's Farm-road, near which , it has been placed in position. Although the duties have been unusually severe and rduotia both by day and night duringthe week, they have been carried out with the utmost cheerfulness and zeal, reflecting much credit both on officers and men. The submarine telegraph has been safely brought to the aorlastery frost' Cape Kelegra, and as soon as it is estab lished at the former place, the engineers will proceed to convey it from the latter to tho immediate neighbourhood cf Varna, where I hope it may be in a state to act in a week or ten days from this time. ~,,, rll : : ::fit r o s r t a d p i iin s in io nu e,ro e f , t L h .c, e . 1 0th s,e, 111387 s arrived this day at have, &c., RAGLAN.

PROCEEDINGS OF NAVAL BRIGADE. Royal Abert, off Sebastopol, Ape ill 3. SIR,—My letter of the 10th inst. No. 264, will have in fi,rmed the Lords Commissioners of Admiralty that the sieve batteries before Sebastopol re-opened their fire on the 9th instant. I grieve to say that the casualties have been seuere, though not, perhaps, more than might have been expected, considering the number of guns which are manned by seamen. Lists of the ca.saualties on each day enclosed for the information of their lordships ; and I have to lament the fall of two gallant and proinis• ing young officers, Lieutenant Samuel Twyford, of the London, and Lieutenant W. H. Douglas, of the Queen. Captain Lord John Hay and Lieut. Urmston, of the Queen, have been wounded, though not severely. The services of the officers and seamen of the Naval Brigade have been invaluable. I have, &c., ED. LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander iu-Chief.

PLIBLIC WORKS FOR INDIA.—At the ordinary weekly meeting of the Society of Arts, held yesterday (Wednes day) evening, Mr. Robert Lowe, M.P., in the chair, the paper read was ‘. On Public Works for India, especially with reference to irrigation and communications," by Col. Cotton, late chief engineer, Madras. The following pro positions give, in brief, the views entertained by the colonel on this important subject :-1. That the greatest possible mistake bad been made in our management of India in neglecting to execute those works of irrigation and communication which lay at the foundation of the improvement of the people. 2. That nothing could be more obvious than that in every district, the moment it was taken possession of, a sufficient establishment and expend:ture should have been allowed-1, to keep in repair the 010 l native works ; 2, to construct new and far more perfect ones, worthy of our transit means and knowledge. 2. That the improvements that had of late years commenced in a few districts did not at all represent the general state of things throughout India, but that at this moment the great mass of India was utterly unimproved and unpro vided with those works which were essential to all improvement. 4. That the construction of a few hundred miles of high-speed railway would not in the least meet the wants of India. ; that every district ought at once to be supplied with works of irrigation, and per vaded with an extensive system of communication of cheap transit. 5. That to spend 10,0001. on a single .mile of communication, when the same time and money could be expended in other ways, so as to produce from 10 to 100 times as much useful effect, was the greatest mistake. 6. That nothing bat canal or river communi cation could provide India with sufficiently cheap transit for its long distances and the small value of its roain ar• ticks of transport. 7. That the grand point of all, as respects communication, was to get any rough works executed to a vast extent over the whole face of the country in the least possible time. 8. That while the value of water for irrigation was at least 11. sterling for 6,000 cubic yards, it could be provided on a large scale at 300,000 cubic yards for the same amount. 9. Tbat probably steam-boat canals' could be worked at one-eighth of the cost of working high-speed rail ways, and improved rivers also at one-sixth or one eighth of the latter. An animated' discussion fol lowed the reading of the paper, in which the fol. lowing gentlemen took part—Messrs. S. Gregson, A. S. Ayrton, C. Nicholson, Colonel Sykes, F.R.S., J. Dickenson, jun., Brown, S. Sydney, the Chairman, and Colonel Cotton.

Plymouth Mail. PROMOTION I.v THE GUARDS. The following letters have bean addreq:ied to the editor of the Times : Sir,—l shall feel much obliged by the inertion in your columns of the folio Ning correspondence, the pub lication of which has been rendered necessary by the gross Misrepresentations of Mr. La)aid's speech at Liverpool as reported in your paper.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient , ervatit, A. E HARDINGF, Lietitenant Colonel, Coldstream Guatds. 15, Great Stanhope-street, April 25. (Copy No. 1. " 15, Great Stanhope-street, April 23. "My dear Wilson,—l have this infant read a speech of Mr. Lay aril's, delivered at Liverpool, in which ho evidently alludes to you, introducing my name in the following manner : - " I will give you an instance of a friend of mine, a gentleman who served throughout all those bati le. and dis tinguished himself most signally. He carne overto is coon try sick and almost dead. There were two men above him, officers in one of the Guards' regiments, who had never left England. They were tnemb,rs of high families, and they were promoted without purchase ; but my friend was a poor man, and they ma !e him pay 3,0001. for his emu mission ; and why? Lord Hardiege's son was next to hill, and got his commission without purchase. (Loud cries of Shame ! shame !') I say these things are scandalous.' " You are evidently the friend to whom Mr. Layard alludes, and I am more openly declared to be the officer whop as the son of the Coutnamier-iu-Chief, got my pro motion for nothing. " I call upon you, therefore, as an officer conversant with the rules of the service, to state whether the trans action can bear in the slightest degree the colour given it by Mr. Layard. " Your decision to purchase was uninfluenced by any but what appeared your best interests at the time, and did not affect your chance of obtaining year step without pur chase by the accident of a death vacancy ; but you were not prepared, like Dawkins and Strong, to allow a junior (in their case Lord Dunkelliu) to pass over your head, the promotion coming in the usual way. " Had you done so, I should have paid the 3,0001., taking my place above you in the regiment, and you would have succeeded to the vacancy caused by the promotion of Co lonel the Hon. A. 'Upton to be a Major-General. "The mis-statement of Mr. Layard is so flagrant, by its insinuations as well as by the perversion of its facts, that I know you could not have been a party to it. Be so good as to give me an early answer, as you know that my ar rangements are made to return to the Crimea.—Yours truly, " A. E. HARDINGE." (Copy No. 2 ) " 1.32, fi mth Audley-street, April '23. " My dear regret that you have been hurt by an allusion made to my promotion by Mr. Layaid at Liverpool. " I frankly own I have felt, and still feel, myself to I“,ve been more really entitled to promotion without porch ise than other officers whom circumstances had detained at home, and whose length of service did not equal mine ; all my friends, civil and military —Mr. Layard among thou -- coincided with me in this opinion. "For my own part, I have always blamed the system of these promotions, and am not disposed to censure head o$ departments, who, I believe, acted, as far as concerned me, according to existing regulations. _ . " I would remark that I placed my name on the Fir chase list when Dawkins and Strong withdrew theirs, my motive being the impossibility of obtaining my promotion without purchase while two seniors were above me; hut, had I imagined that Mackinnon's step would not have been given me, I should have withdrawn my name from the purchase list, taking the chance of Colonel Upton's retire ment from the regiment. Of course, I should have bean influenced in this wise by financial yiews.—Believe me, yours very trury, " C. TOWNSEND WILSON. " To Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Hardinge." (Copy No. 3.) "15, Great Stanhope-street, April 24. Sir,—Your letter betrays such a disinclination to re move the unjust imputations conveyed in Mr. Ixtyard's speech that I am obliged to withdraw the expresssio❑ of my confident belief that you could have been no party to them, and have no alternative than that of publishing, for the information of my brother officers, the correspondence that has passed between us. "They are well acquainted with the regulations of the service. Possibly Mr. Layard may not, and I leave it with' them to decide whether I am in auy way open to the in ference to be drawn from Mr. Layard's speech. "I find no fault with him or any man for whatever opinion he may entertain upon the system of promotion in the army. " You knew its chances and disappointments, and, al though you admit the belief that the authorities in my case acted according to existing regulations, you state you felt, and still feel, you were better entitled to promotion without purchase than other officers whom circumstances had detained at home. The remark cannot apply to me. Such promotions as you allude to were in accordance with the invariatle rules of the service, and with this part of your disappointment I have no concern. Hut you say Mr. Layard coincides with you in the hardship of your case, and by this assumption' of a grievance evade any contra diction of the charge that my interests were unfairly for warded by the interference of the Commander-in-Chief to the prejudice of a brother officer who was made to p•ly 3,0001. because I, Lord Hardiuge's son, was next. to him, and would thus obtain my promotion without purchase ! " You say that your motive in sending iu your name for purchase, after Dawkins and Strong had withdrawn theirs, Was the impossibility of obtaining your promotion with out purchase, and that, had you imagined that Lieutenant- Colonel Mackinnon's step would not have been given to you, you would have withdrawn your name front the pnr chase list to take the chance of Colonel the Hon. A. Up ton's retirement. " Precedent has established the rale that in the case of the death of an officer serving abroad who has purchased through his agents at home a step of rank, but who dins before the fact of his promotion has reached the head quarters of his regiment, and therefore before he could have exercised the functions of his superior commission, the,money is returned to the family, and the next officer for purchase succeeds to the vacancy. It is obvious you could have had no security whatever as to Colonel A. Upton's decision whether he would retire from the ser vice or be promoted to he a Major-general.' " I should have expected from an officer of my regiment whom I addressed on such a subject a more frank explana tion than that contained in your letter, and, as you know that neither I nor any of my family would have exercised any influence adverse to your interests, but do not make that avowal, while the contrary is asserted by your friend, Mr. Layard, I shall publish these letters, and am ready to insert your reply to this communication.—l have the honour, &c., "A. E. HARDINGE. "Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson, Coldstream Guards." (Copy No 4.) . , " G.?, South Audley-street, "Sir,—Absence from home until late - last night is my apology for not replying earlier to your letter of the 24th instant. " In a conversation with you on the 23d inst. I informed you of my sentiments relative to promotion, :Ind I imagined you left my house satisfied with the explanations then given viva voce, and afterwards transmitted to you in writ ing. The tone of your last letter has therefore somewhat surprised me. "['repeat I have found no fault either with you or the authoritief ; for I mu aware the promotions in question were giver according to established rule. Nevertheless, you may, perhaps, admit that I have little cause to he enlmournt of a system from which, in the course of I.G year' service, I have never derived any benefit. Do net misunderstand me here—l merely risk a private, it may he a selfish opinion, without insinuating a reflection on any man. "'I may add, I was not cognisant of any precedent in the late Lieut.-Colonel Mukinnon's case before instructel thereof on arrival in England. " With regard to Mr. Layard, I was absolutely ignorant of what that gentleman intended to say at Liverpool; from the Times alone I gleaned an idea of his address. I need scarcely remind you that Mr. Layard is a public man, form ing his own views without being influenced by any one ; however, I shall take an opportunity of informing him that I do not accuse yourself or auy of your family of exer cising an influence adverse to my interests. •. " I trust enough has been sdd to convince you how en tirely I disclaim the existence of a hostile feeling towards any person connected with you.—l have the honour to be, your obedient servant, "C. TOWNSEND WILSON. " Lieut.. Colonel Hon. A. Harclinge." Lieut.-Colonel Lindsay has questioned; in a letter to you, a statement made by ma in a speech at Liverpool with regard to recent promotions in the regiment of Cold stream Guards. The following are the promotions to which I referred—made since the war : Years' service. C. J. Burdett l9 withontpur. no active service. J. W. Newdigato l5 ditto . Lord DunkeDin 9 by purchase., Alma. W. G. Dawkins ll withoutpur. Alma. C. W. Strong l6 ditto Alma, Inkerman. C. T. IN ilsou l6 by purchase West Indies, Alms, Inkerman. Lord Burghersh (son of Lord Westmor- 12 without pur. Staff. land) JJJ Hon. A. Hardinge) (son of Lord liar- 11 ditto dingo) I did nut state in my speech that the officers promoted without purchase and without service were next above Lieut.-Col. Wilson. Lieut.:Col. Lindsay has carefully avoided,any allusion to Lieut.-Cols. Burdett and Newdi gate, to whom I did refer. Such coincidences as are fur nished by the above list are far too numerous and remark able to lead the public to any other conclusionthan that to which I have COMO, and to whiCh I still adhere, notwith s,anding Lieut.-Col. Lindsay's letter, and an assurance from Lieut.-Col. Wilson that he does not impute blame to any one in the matter.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, 9, Little Ryder-street; April 25. A, H. LAYARD.
