THE SUEZ CANAL, "How does this party interpret the existing alliance ? Is it simply in the light of a catspaw that it recognises the presence of France in the alliance ? It is mistaken, and has formed a very, false idea of France and I.4er Government. Even in England this party will incur the reprobation inspired by nati,nal loyalty and by the immense interest which is attached to the main tenan,ce of the alliance." ZIEETING AT NEWCASTLE ON TIIE AFFAIRS OF ITALY. NEWCASTLE ON-TYNE, TIIESDA.Y. Last evening a public meeting of the working classes of this town was held in the Lecture-hall, Nelson-street, to receive an address from the working men of Genoa, and to begin a subscription in aid of efforts for the eman cipation of Italy. The night was miserably wet, but, notwithstanding this, there was a large attendance. Mr. GREGEION (watchmaker) occupied the chair. Letters were read from several gentlemen sympathis ing with the movement. Sir J. Fife sent 51. as his con tribution. Two letters from Mazzini were also read, ad dressed to Mr. Cowen, jun., and asking him to endeavour to collect money for the "National Fund," payable to Adamo Doria, 24, Old Broad-street, City ; the writer observed :—" Never has help—material help, money— been more called for than at this moment. The first period of the Italian agitation in England is, or ought to be, exhausted. In one thing at least diplomacy has paved the ground for you and for our friends. That we are a wronged and oppressed people ; that we do feel it ; that we are actively preparing to emancipate ourselves has been of late publicly, officially acknowledged by both friends and foes, by the European governments as well s by the European press. That insurrection alone car: sad as is evid en t t o a ll our natieual party in Italy, u ought, indeed, to be so now to all Englishmen."

In her l e tt er to the Earl of Herring ton she speaks of the advantage which the Main Liquor law has been to the State, and adds: —"My heart warm s with satisfaction at the beginning of the cause in Eng. land. I rejoice that the splendid accessions of your lord ship's rank and position are being made instruments in the great cause of human improvement, and I trust that the English and American oaks whi c h h ave b een planted together in your beautiful grounds in commemoration of the inauguration of this cause in England may grow and mingle their branches together—emblems o; our national union in every work of peace and goodwill to men. It is my beli e f, from observation and travel is England an d Scotland, that almost all the poverty and misery of the lower classes now axis's from the traffic its intoxicating drinks. Inns, country has benevolence been more ener getic and the progress of social reform more rapid. The benevolent works of England strike a stranger as really stupendous, yet this one cause seems to n urn& ail and keep up misery, vice, quireandlt seems to me that there is now scarcely 35. arty e l*ie Of poverty and distress which the suppression of the liquor traffic would not remove. Since emigration to the Colonies has equalised the popu lation, it would seem as if there might and work enough to supp or t he money enough the whole labouring popu lation, were it not for the enormous taxation and drain of ardent spirits. The view of your great cities flaming nightly with signs of 'nuns, brandy, an d gin,' is to the eyes of an American as appalling as the slave market of our Southern States t o an Englishman.

When we see how they are publicly obtrude o the eye with all the attractions of d brilliant lightsnight, and splendid shops, we wonder that there are any who escape .such temptations. But let us hope that our two countries are both on the eve of new and better things. It is our hop e that the cause of liberty in America is about to triumph -- that th e wise and good, who too long have slumbered and slept, are awaking in good earnest to wipe out the disgrace '' 51 past remissness by placing in our highest na tional seat a President who shall consistently uphold the Principles of freedom." The G i me/tut/omnd of Monday contains an ar ticle on the contemplated railway in the val ley of the Euphrates, in which no very good feeling is evi nce d towards the enterprise in ques tion. That journal considers the construction of a railway along the Euphrates as a covert blow aimed at the Suez canal scheme, and it disap proves of the terms granted by the Ottoman Government of the projectors of the Asiatic line. We extract the following passages, which explain the views entertained by our contemporary on this subject. With respect to the physical difficulties which will have to be overcome by the company, t thus expresses itself " The direction of the c , mternplated line is almost un known ; it passes through desert lands, where the inha bitants are fanatics, robbers, and semi-barbarians, where no authority is respected and no po.ice exists. What vi gilance will be required in order to prevent accidents ? Who will guarantee the lives cf the agei.ts of the coal ' pany and the property of the latter? Where will indis posed travellers meet with assistance or evenrefreshrnews in these deserts? Will not their purses, baggag e , and goods offer too great a temptation t o thew andering tribes of Kurdistan ? And alas ! the least accident prepared by these robbers will suffic e to. produce confusion in the trains. With respect to the morasses which must be filled up, the bridges which must be built, the tunnels to be pierced, none can say where the call upon the finances of the company will stop. Nevertheless, the shareholders appear to have faith in the enterprise. Should English industry pereevero in carrying it out, very probably the railroadrmay be called into existence." With reference to the terms obtained by the company from the Ministers of the Sultan, the Constitutionnel gives vent to the following remarks, the jus } sic® or propriety o f which will not be gene rally admitted in England Tiae British Government has not left the company to its . own reso urces. Through its ambassador at Con 71stantinople, the skilful and imperious Lord de Redcliffe, I ,_ ° mu $t hot be confounded with Prince Menschikoff, " "44 obtained for the company the pecuniary assist -1140',... of the Ottoman Porte, which consents to guarantee : 11 biltuurn interest of 6 per cent. We do not approve Of this method of proceeding, which consists in exact ing from the Ottoman Government a guaranteed inter est; for in a political point of view states are thus en chained, and their independence is by that means me naced: The allies have fought for the independence of the Porte ; France has taken a considerable part in the struggle and in the success. Therefore, we do not like to see Turkey placed under a species of financial vassal age, which would become a political one the moment that the Ottoman Government should fail in meetin o g its a Pecuniary ( engagements. M oreover, this concession nt oes not a p pear i n our eyes a good rat ion. Look at the differenc e which exists be twet,n the basis of the projected railway in the val-. l e y ixf the Euphrates and the terms of the conces sion g ranted to the directors of tha Suez Canal. Whils t the English company imposes on Turk a guarantee of Six per cent., without allowing it ey to part ak e of any profits that may arise, the interna tiona 1. enterprise assures to the Egyptian Govern ment a participation of fifteen per cent, in the nett profits : as a compensation for the land which it has ceded. . • . We wish we were convinced that this colossa 1 enterprise has been projected in consequence of its intri insic utility rather than as a diversion aimed at the Su, n Canal, and in order to render the construction of the l atter impossible. But the Suez Canal will be made, a and the Euphrates Railroad, far from interfering with will afford it assistance. The railroad will never replace the canal in the transport of goods. The intentions, however, of those who first conceived the idea of the line are not the less remarkable. The railroad is purely an English. enterprise. The Suez Canal is an in ternational work. England would gain largely by the piercing of the crAnal ; but the commerce and navigation of France, as t'aat of the other powers, would likewise obtain great advantages." The Constitut,ionne?concludes by stating that a rich and influes.tial though not a numerous party in England directs all its efforts to obstruct the con struction of the Suez Canal, and our contemporary inquires, .FIVE LO WEDNESDA EVENING OCTOBER q. , a , eal and Flilitary Intelligence.

No publication is to take place until the Court have sent their report to Whitehall, and the Lords of the Admiralty have pronounced their decision. The paddlewheel steamship }hula, 6, Commander Elphinstone Aplin, went from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound on Monday. The Quail, lighter, from Pembroke, arrived at Ply mouth on Monday with a number of artisans who had been employed in caulking the Diadem at Pembroke. The 11th Depot will shortly proceed to Templemore to join the Depot Battalion, and consist of four com panies. The remaining two companies will embark shortly for Australia under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Singleton, to join the head-quarters. A supply of new arms for the troops belonging to the Royal Sappers and Miners has been received at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers' establishment, Chatham. The rifle in use by the non-commissioned officers and men of this corps is the Lancaster rifle, and the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Sappers and Miners are undergoing a course of instruc tion in the use of that weapon, under the direction of Lieut. George Reid Lempriere, Royal Engineers. The Irresistible, screw steamer, now being built at Chatham, is to be completed forthwith. The experimental paddlewheel gunboat, Baun, yester day morning got up steam and proceeded down the river from Woolwich, on a trial trip of her machinery ; the sister vessel Brune having been subjected to a trial which turned out highly satisfactory. The Royalist, 6 gun brig, was yesterday hauled into the outer basin at Woolwich, to undergo a refit, for the purpose of replacing the Investigator Thames Police station, off Somerset-house. The Ordnance transport Inkermann, has arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth, and has commenced land ing her cargo, which consists of guns and other war like stores. THE BRITISH GERMAN LEGION. Yesterday the British German Legion, now stationed at Colchester, was reviewed for the last time, prepara tory to its being forthwith disbanded, by Major-General Baron Statterheim, under whose immediate auspices it was embodied and trained, and who has had the chief command of it from the very first. Apart from the pro ject of military colonisation at the Cape held out to the officers and men of whom it is composed, by the English Government, as a recognition of their services, the cere mony was invested with a kind of melancholy. The Legion, recently numbering in the aggregate about 9,000 men, had been collected under c rcumstances of peculiar difficulty and delicacy from different parts of the Continent, and trained for active service during a pdriod of nearly two years, to act as an auxi liary force with our native troops in a crisis of the na tional history destined to be memorable for all time ; and at the very moment that they have attained to a high state of efficiency the tide of events brings round a peace, and without having had an opportunity of showing their prowess they are scattered to the winds ; for at present it is by no means certain that any considerable number of them will accept the terms, however liberal these may be. offered by the Government to enable them to settle in British Kaffraria, and, as stated in detail in this journal on Monday. Unfortunately at this moment there is too much reason for believing that a variety of underhand influences are being exerted to induce them to reject the proposal of the Government, advantageous as that is likely to prove to them even tually, as a body and individually, and to the previous settlers in the colony, who appear to have hailed their cousin.. with acclamation. It is rumoured that the agents of the King of Naples, wit: a view to co.nEig events, are already offering the men a bounty of $5O a piece as an inducement to enter his service. It is said, with perhaps more certainty, that the Dutch are also holding out to them a premium of 51. to emigrate to their colony of Batavia to recruit their military forces, now compara tively weak from deaths and other casualties. France, too, and the Argentine Republic, it is suspected, have each an eye on those soldiers of fortune, who are now on the first flush of peace, being disbanded by the English Government. In addition to all this, some of the revolu• tionary class of political refugees both in this country and on the continent, counting on the men of the Legion being useful at seine time in carrying'out their de signs, are striving eo dissuade them from leaving Europe, alleging that the British Government are only sending them out to the Cape as food for Kafirs. Other conside rations than these even make the men hesitate in closing with the proposal of the Government. For example, on joining the Legion a bounty of 61. was held out to them, which they expected would have been paid down to them at once ; but, instead of that, they only received 3/. in money, the remainder being kept back to provide each man with a kit. Again, they have been seriously mulcted over and over again during their stay in Eng land in respect of what are called "barrack damages"-- that is, not for any wilful denia,ge of that kind committed by any of them, for that is met with special punishment, but for the ordinary wear and tear ci! barracks and huts in which they have peen located. This is a charge exacted not of them alone, but of the soldiers of purely Britih regiments as well, by all of whom, we believe without exception, it is looked on as a grievance, going as it does greatly to diminish their pay, and one which obtains iu the military administration of tbi country only. The men of the Legion are generally dispo , ed to accept the offer of Government. considering it a favourable one, as no doubt it is ; but the experience they have hal in the matters to which reference has just been made produces in thee' a feeling of distrust when they look at tee con ditions on which they are asked to settle at the Cape ; and amid all these conflicting considerations, exclusive of others purely personal and inOevidua!, it can scarcely he wondered that they hesitate. The men, previous to joining the Legion, were arti sans mostly, of various classes, and a very large number were agricultural labourers. It consists of eight regi ments of infantry, two of Jagers or riflemen, and six of light infantry, besides two regiments of cavalry, the lat ter being each about 450 strong. The whole force con sisted of about 9,000 troops, but its numerical strength is now little more than 7,000 e the remainder having been r ecently disch arge d , comprising men who during their term of service in the Legion have been guilty of theft, re drunkennese, or i nsu b ordination, and others whose bodily strength did not come up to the requisite standard. The two cavalry regiments, having previously given over their horses to the English troops at Alderehott, joined the infantry at the camp at Colchester on Monday, pre paratory to the Lesion of which dti hie nc is ot a n oo n i t pe s s b t , :ebrmd store they have re Y v e r e returned t ' i the i a r l l their they uniformsh horse form re a - e n d partac equipment 'obue tirneg thither, Thweitwahol'e of the baatrkafol,rleirhsehoct; where . it will remain until the Gape, and then accompany them The reviewnO Uo/chester, f under the Legion is therefore now at at 13rowndow the exception of two infantry regiments command of Col.

The principal part of the ceremonna an i sene at the d her of a spirited maticeuvre executed by the troo y ennsiBt''d arrival of the General. This turned on the h " On the t;ett an enemy, coming from the east, had hisYtZitplie'iB 'in Wyvenhoe-park, in the immediaee vicinity of the ' field in which the review took place, and alon g th e road leading thence to Col c h es t er. Another corps, a dvancing from the west, a tt empte d to push back his outposts, but the ground not being favourable to such a manceevre, they tried a flank movement with this view, which had the desired effect, and the enemy retired to reinforce his outposts. The Jagers, forming the advanced guard of the western corps, then formed into columns of companies and advanced, when a ho skirmishing fire ensued, and the enemy was driven rack to the extremity of the field. There he was reinforced by the main body of his troops, which oppor tunelyarrivedlat this crisis, and, returning.to the charge, h e beat back the advanced guard of the western corps, which retired, protected by its skirmishers. At this point in the conflict the whole force from the west ad vanced in columns of attack, with skirmishers between the coluninc, and stopped the further progress of the enemy, who then deployed aud - withdrew his skirmishers, the westtra corps following his example. A kind of armed neutrality followed for a few minutes, but this was broken by a bayonet charge from the enemy, which was also repulsed ; and the Jagers of the west corps, by a dexterous flank fire, decided the battle in their favour. At the conclusion of the manoeuvre the men marched past in the ordinary way, and an they did so their fine bearing and high health, with the marvellous precision of their movement, were the theme of admiration to a present. Finally, forming themselves into a solid square, with the General and his Staff in the centre, a ceremony of some interest ensued, for it was their last corporate act, so to speak, and Baron Stutterheim was to take his final leave of them. Rising in his stirrups, he said, addressing the troops, and speaking in German,,--That was toe, last review of the British Ger man Legion in England, and OIL such an occasion he con sidere4 it is duty to thank them for their good behaviour from the very first moment of their arrival in this coun• try. They could easily imagine how exceedingly sorry he was at being obliged to part with so large a body of men to whom he was deeply attached, and to whom he was under great obligations. He thought, however, he should still be united with a considerable number of them, and for a longer period, asit was his intention togo out to the Cape, considePing ' as be did, that it was a sa cre d d u t y t o stand by them so long as he saw he could do anything to pfornote their welfare. The conditions under which they would be allowed to go to the Cape were now known to them. They might accept them, or they might not ;it was entirely a matter c f their own free choice. None of them would be forced to go, and none of them should be persuaded to go. For himself, he considered those conditions were of a very favourable kind, inasmuch as they would afford ever v man among them an oppor ; unity of gaining a free anti independent subsistence. To hose who should not decide on going to the Cape be had to say farewell. But he urged them only to decide after the most mature consideration, He begged of them, also, not to squander away their money, for it would be able to procure them some comforts wherever they might go. Those who went to the Cape would be guaranteed the sum of 51., as mentioned in article 12 of the conditions, 21. of which would be advanced to them in England for buying little articles of necessity. Though they had net been allowed the opportunity of proving their devotion to her Majesty on the field of battle, he would ask them, as they were about to leave England, to give, with a full heart, and while they still held their swords in their hands, an enthusiastic cheer for Queen Victoria. [The troops responded with loud and prolonged cheers, which the Baron led himself.] From his :heart he thanked them again for their good conduct. They were an honour to their fatherland, and is ought to bo proud of them. Three enthusiastic cheers were given by acclamation for the General. The Baron thanked them for the compliment, and bade them adieu, adding, with some emotion, that he no longer commanded them. This part of the ceremony was so touching that many of the troops, and especially the venerable officer, were moved to tears by it. The general afterwards reviewed the cavalry at the camp, and delivered a similar address to them, which he commenced by saying he was sorry they had not got their horses, but for that they had to thank the Emperor of Russia. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE BARL OP CARDIGAN AND COL. BUCK, M.P. We have been requested to publish the following cor. respondence : (No. I.—Copy.) Portman-square, Sept. 18, 1856. Sir,—Upon my return to London after an absence of some days, the Daily Nev,..s of the 11th inst. has been shown to me by a friend, in which, at a dinner given in the town of Torrington to Col. Morris, of the 17th Lancers, who, as senior captain of that regiment, commanded it in the charge of the Light Cavalry Brigade, at Balaklava under my orders on the 25th of October, 1854, the follow ing expressions are attributed to you, of which the enclosed contains a copy (vide No. 2). I request you will inform me whether you gave 'utter ance to such an uncalled-for allusion to me, expressed in such unwarrantable terms, and conveying such an offen sive insinuation with regard to my conduct.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, CARDIGAN. (No. 2.) Colonel Buck, in proposing the health of the vice-chair man, the Mayor of Torrington, said, " Their gallant guest was not placed in the same position as Lord Cardigan, who, it was said, had paid 40,0001. for the present position he held in the army, and who, when he met his friends at Leeds the other day, was obliged to try back,' and first explain his conduct in the charge of Balaklava. There had been nothing in the conduct of their gallant guest so equi vocal as to require such an explanation about the duties of cavalry officers as that made by Earl Cardigan at Leeds."

Od. - HAELTH' OF LONDON DURING THE WEBS (From the Report of the Registrar-General The total number of deaths registered in London in • the week that ended on Saturday was 1,106. It shows 'a small increase on the returns of the two previous weeks, because deaths in reference to which coroner's inquests have been held are entered in the register books in more than their just weekly proportion, about the end of every quarter. This circumstance does not affect the comparison with corresponding weeks, and may be stated that the present rate of mortality is quite as low as the average rate at the end of September, though the latter be reduced by excluding deaths from epidemic cholera in the years 1849 and 1854. The deaths referred to the zymotic class of diseases last week are 248—a number which is rather low, and supplies a favourable indication of the public health. Smallpox was fatal in only 7 cases, measles in 13, hoop ing cough in 23, croup in 7; scarlatina, however, was fatal in 51, and the registrars of Hackrey-road, Bethnal green, and St. James, Bermondsey, mention families in which this disease has committed most serious ravages. A nurse, aged 35 years, died in Greenwich of " inflam mation of the cesophagus (5 weeks) with oedema of the trachea (1 week), " on the 21st o f S ep t. H er medical attendant, Mr. Shute, states that her mistress and two I children caught the disease at Boulogne, and were re moved to Folkestone, where they died. She took the complaint when in attendance on them. Diarrhoea continues to decline, and under the present low temperature will soon fall to its minimum. It rose to its maximum in August, when the number of fatal cases in a week was 253. Last week the number was 72. There were only 4 cases of cholera, 3 of these among in fants—and 11 of dysentery. One person died from " scorbutug," 41 from typhus and common fever, 4 from rheumatic fever, 4 from rheumatism, 3 from carbuncle, 3 from intemperance ; 17 infante)from want of breast-milk. Last week the births of 795 boys and 740 girls—in all 1,535 children—were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1846-55 the average number was 1,499. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 41 in. The mean temperature was 52.9 deg., which is 2 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was more or less below the average during the whole week. The highest temperature was 65•5 deg., on Tuesday ; the lowest 49 deg., on the Sunday previous. The mean dew point temperature was 46.4 deg., and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 6•5 deg. The wind blew from the south-west till the end of the week, when it changed to south-east. Rain fell on every day, and the whole amount was 1'43 in:, nearly half of which fell on Saturday.

At an early hou r thi s morning the screw TUES st D eamer Silloth, Captain Acken, from this port, bound for Whitehaven and Carlisle, came in collision with the ship Admiral Boxer, from Quebec for Liverpool, off the Formby Light -ship, and had her funnel, main, and mizenmasts, binnacle, and steering wheel carried away. She at once returned to port. The Admiral Boxer had her figure-head carried away in the collision. Yesterday evening, shortly before 8 o'clock, an acci dent of a serious and alarming nature took place on the river between the Birkenhead ferry-boat Fanny and the Manx packet Fairy. The Fanny quited the landing-stage at about 20 minutes to eight, and was making her course towards Birkenhead Ferry. About midway in the river a ship was lying at anchor. The Fairy was on her home ward voyage from Ramsey, and, whilst rounding the ship mentioned, came in violent contact with the Fanny, staving in her port bow. The Fanny immediately bore up for the ship at anchor, and was alongside, discharging her passengers, when the Britannia, her companion boat, which was returning to Liverpool, went to her assistance, took her passengers en board, and her into tow, to take her to Birkenhead ; but when abreast of Monks' Ferry the disabled boat went down. It is estimated that the Fanny, which is a small iron boat, had on board between 60 and 70 passengers. Both packets had their proper lights exhibited, and the accident would seem to have arisen by reason of the ship moored at anchor preventing the packets being seen by each other until too late to avoid the collision. The Fairy proceeded to the old landing -stage, Prince's Pier, discharged her passengers, and did not manifest having received any damage. This peg hags is accounted for from her having run into the Fanny stem on.

The " Customs Bill of Entry" gives a return of the number and tonnage of the ships that ha ve entered inwards from and cleared out wards for for e i gn ports, in the week ending Sept. 27, 1856, as well as for the corresponding week of 1855. It appears that during the last week 92 ships of an aggre gate tonnage of 55,641 tons, entered inwards, against 63 ships, 2 8,727 tons, in 1855, being an increase of 29 in the number of ships, and an increase of 26,914 tons in the tonna ge ; th e number of clearances ou t war d s d uring the w ee k , 7 9 ships, of a tonnage of 45,805 tons, aga i nst 104 ship s an d 5 5,437 tons in 1855, b e i ng a d ecrease of 25 ship s and 9,632 tons. THE BESSEMER PROCICSS.—Tho Gateshead Observer says :—"Part of an ingot of iron, made by the Basseino process, has this week been tried at a forge on the Tyne. It was placed red-hot, under Nasmyth's hammer, and beaten. Instantly it flew in all directions, and one of the foremen, a conservative in his craft, triumphantly exclaimed to one of his employers (no implicit believer in the new process), `Where is your fine icon now ?' " At 8 , 3 , 5 r . Bessemer' s i nven ti on was the ironmasters' meeting, in Staff or d shire, the Stafford shire Advei tiser a good deal discussed, but no ve r y sanguine opinion was expressed with regard to its practical success in the pre sent shape which the process assumes. An experiment recently made in Wolverhatnpton has proved that supe rior iron may be produced by t hi s process without pud dling, but as the result in other cases is quite the reverse, it is doubted whether the process can be depended upon buts the result of this, gained ; a experience. The adaptation of every great discovery to practical purposes has always required repeated trials and patient attention to minor details.' (No. 3.—Copy.) Hartland Abbey, Sept. 20, 1856. My Lord,—ln reply to your letter received last evening, containing an extract from the Daily News paper, report ing a speech made by me at Torrington, I have the honour to inform your lordship that the Daily News' version of that speech is very incorrect. I referred to your lordship's public speech at Leeds, which I simply stated as unsatis factory to me. I gave no reason for my opinion; nor did I mention anything about " trying back," or " Balaklava," or " equivocal conduct." I alluded to what I understood to have been the case—that your lordship's commissions had cost you between 30,0001. and 40,000/.—l remain, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, (Signed) GEO. STUCLEY BUCK. (No. 4.—Copy.) üblin, Se pt. 26, 185. Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th inst., in reply to mine of the 18th inst., and I regret to have to observe that nothing can be more un satisfactory, more uu-straightford, or evasive, than your reply ; and, as I conclude you acknowledge the correct ness of the report of your speech in the Daily -Yews, with the exceptions you have referred to in your letter of the 20th inst., I have only to state that you thereby justify every expression with regard to your conduct which I adopted in my letter of the 18th inst. With respect to the commencement of your unwarrantable allusion to myself, stating that I had given 40,0001. for my commissions, whilst your guest, Col. Morris (to whom you were very properly doing honour on that occasion), obtained his through. merit alone, I ranst admit that the manner in which Cot Morris has been promoted since the charge of the, Light Cavalry Brigade at Balaklava, is certainly a much more agreeable way of obtaining promotion than by paying 40,0001., supposing that statement to be true. Col. Morris, as senior captain of the 17th Lancers, led them in the attack at Balaklava, and for his services has since been made a brevet-major and Companion of the Bath, a brevet-lieut.-colonel, colonel in the Turkish Contingent ; als,) has held an appointment in the Adjutant General's office, London, a staff appointment at Scutari, the post of assistant quarterma,ster-generA in the Turkish Contin gent, and is now assistant adjutant -general in the camp on the Curragh. This proves that officers in our service do not obtain promotion by money alone. As to the com parison you draw between Col. Morris and myself, viz., "'That these was no necessity for him to explain his con duct, like Lord Cardigan at Leeds," it, is clear that he, never having been attacked by anonymous libellers, had no ground for entering into any defence of his conduct. With rega7rd to the charge of the Light Cavalry Brigade at Balaklava, us you appear to beignorant of what occurred there--and as I have hitherto, in returning thanks on several occasions for honours conferred upon me by my fellow-countrymen, only spoken of the brigade generally— I must now afford some information as to the part all the officers took in that affair. Col. Mcrris told you in his speech in returning thanks that I put myself at the head of the brigade (which I did by order). He also told you that Capt. Nolan was imme diately killed after moving off (he was at the time riding about independently as a staff officer). It was my duty to lead the brigade over more than a mile of ground into the Russian battery. (Captain (now (Lieut.-Col. Morris) followed me into the battery, in command of the 17th Lancers, and was very soon after cut down. Capt. Old ham, who followed me also in command of the 13th Light Dragoons, was blown to pieces on entering the battery. Of the two squadron officers of the 17th Lancers, Captain Winter was killed, and Captain White (now Brevet-Major White) severely wounded, and brought to the ground short of the battery. Of the two squadron officers of the 13th Light Dragoons, Captain Good was killed, Captain Jenyns (now Brevet-Major Jenyns, C. 8.) was slightly wounded, and had his horse killed. Captain Percy Smith had his horse killed, and was slightly wounded ; and the three re maining officers of the 13th Light Dragoons, Tremayne, Jervis, Chansberlayne, had their horses killed. Of the remaining officers of the 17th Lancers, Captain Webb was mortally wounded, Sir W m . G or d on severely wounded, and Captain Morgan and Lieut. Cleveland (afterwards killed at Inkerman) survived. Captain Maass (now Bre vet-Major Maxse), nay aide-tie-camp, was wounded short of the battery ; and Sir G. Womhell, my extra aide-de camp, had his horse killed, and was taken prisoner for a time ; and Captain Lockwood, my aide-de-camp, here or later, was killed, Of all these officers, it would be invidious to state that any one distinguished himself more than another. For myself, having led this brigade into the battery, I pursued my direct course as leader, a course which one horse could take, but in which a line of troops could not well follow from the number of guns, limber carriages, and other impediments which stood in the way. Thus, coming upon a large force of Russian cavalry, I was attacked by two Cossacks, slightly wounded, and nearly dismounted. The survivors of the brigade all went about as they came upon the masses of the Russian cavalry and retreated. The whole of the remnant of the brigade was retreating at the same time, and a few minutes only intervened between the retreating from the lino of guns which we had attacked, of all the parties engaged in the affair, including the sup porting regiments which had come into the affray in suc cession under their respective commanding officers. I have further to observe that the confusion was so great after passin g the battery, that the 17th L ancers an d 13th Li ght Dragoons reversed their position in brigade, and the rem nant of them c one out in the retreat on the opposite side of the valley to that in which they had advanced. It is with reference to a desperate affaie of this nature, which I had the honour of leading, that you have consi dered it becoming is you as a country gentleman, and a county man in Devonshire ,and Conservative member of a large borough, to rise in your place and utter a slanderous insinuation against me, which you are unable or unwilling to account for; and this after my conduct had been com mended in the strongest terms in all the official despatches addressed to the Government from the seat of war. I tell you that such conduct is totally unworthy of the position you hold; and yon may depend upon it that, if your constituents at Barnstaple were ultra-Radicals instead of Conservatives, they would reprobate your conduct ; for be their politics what they may the British public are always just and fair towards men who are placed in the s b e a :::: f e o o u f n their country in positions of danger and {Hifi cultY, and despise slanderous insinuations, feom whatever quarter they may come; and those which you have thought proper to titter against me on a recent occasion were pro ded upon the calumnious statments of some anony- TorT publicatio n , w hi c h t h e respectable part of the press too generous to encourage by any notice.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Col, G. s, B uck (Signed) CARDIGAN.
