ETHICS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sni,—The -6fficers who arc Conducting the pro sec.utiori against and sitting in judgment over Lieutenant Perry appear so fearful of allowing any thing to transpire which may acquaint the public with the system of social oppression existing in the British army, that I believe Ishall be conferring on her Majesty's service in general a very great boon if I at once describe to you in plain English the details of that system. Were the offences committed by one officer against another invariably made the subject of public courts-martial, what I am about to state to you would already have been known to all the world. The system has hitherto been fostered by what are called in the army " courts of inquiry" —i. e., packed tribunals, selected by the Horse Guards—. whose proceedings and verdict are veiled in the strictest secrecy. Before these courts of inquiry aristocratic and influential culprits have always met with the most culpable indulgence, while the weak and the friendless have ever gone to the wall. Until lately, the half-educated members of our aristocracy and ploutocracy, who on leaving our public schools have felt themselves unequal to meet the educational tests requisite to qualify them for entering at our universities, have been in the habit of taking refuge in c er t a i n f as hi ona bl e corps, in which they could dress gorgeously and play at soldiering with very slight chance of ever being called upon to perform any real service, and where they could agreeably divide their time between horse-racing, betting, fornicating, and prizefighting. It has long been the habit of the officers of these corps to consider them merely as pleasant, clubs, kept up as asyldms for the private accommodation of young men "in society, and to resent the ap pointment of any young man not in c l u d e d, i n their opinion, within that pale as an unwarrantable in trusion, to be resented by all means in th e i r power, whether fair or foul. If the obnoxious intruder, of course a mere lad of 16 or 17 years of age, should show any signs of mental or bodily weakness, they at once fall upon him, and subject him to a series of insults and . out rages of inconceivable indecency and brutality. If the poor boy should complain to his colonel, who is just as deep in the conspiracy as the subalterns who are his active agents in the conduct of it, he gets such redress and protection as Colonel Garrett appears to have afforded to Lieutenant Perry, and personal resistance is generally out of the question, the victim being only as one against a score, and duelling in the army being strictly forbidden. If, however, he be resolute and wary beyond his years, and if he contrive to meet insult by insult and outrage by outrage in spite of the odds against him, which of course can but seldom occur, another course is adopted—the recusant is sent to Coventry; nobody will speak to him, nobody will associate iyith him, and any friends who may visit him in his room or at mess are treated with equal con tumely. All this may happen, and does happen daily, as the Commander-in-Chief well knows, and yet the victim may be superior in every military and social quality to his oppressors. A youth is condemned in these "swell" and " fast " regiments because he goes to bed early—because he says his prayers— because he is shocked at the presence of prostitutes —because he will not drink, and smoke, and swear —because he is shy, or studious, or silent—because he will not gamble—because he is poor, and does not choose to spend what little money he has on eating and drinking . Yet he may possess all these faults, and still have in him the makings of an ex cellent soldier. Now, if when complaints of such conduct reached the Horse Guards they were • invariably made the subject of open courts-martial, the system would speedily die a violent death, and a young officer would be allowed in future to live in peace and quiet in any manner ho pleased, so long as he did his duty attentively and manfully, and behaved in other respects like a gentleman. But so long as they are settled by courts of in quiry, so long will the rich and influential bully escape with impunity, and the system which he has instituted endure. For these courts of inquiry, composed of officers who entirely approve that sys tem, invariably decide that, although the assailants have gone too far and ought to be reprimanded, the assailed will not " do " for the army; and must sell out. Therefore, in any case, the bullies attain their object—the only question being whether they shall attain it with or without a reprimand, which, after all, they know to be a mere harmless for mality. Several 'of the officers whose names I see on the court-martial at Windsor will recollect the following• circumstances, which occured not a great many years ago : A lieutenant had been appointed to the —, whom the other' officers disapproved. They deter , mined to get rid of him in the usual way. He was a resolute fellow, and resisted. At last, after en during insult and oppression of various kinds with what temper lie could, he called out one of his op pressors, a captain in the regiment, who had grossly and publicly insulted him at the mess table. The captain refused to meet the lieutenant, unless the latter could get a second in the regiment, which ho very well. knew was out of his power. The lieutenant maintained, very reasonably, that it was no business of the captain's where he got his second, so that he got an unexceptionable one, and he had taken care to do so by securing the services of an officer of the Foot Guards. Still, the bully would not fight ; so the butt was compelled to horsewhip him in the public street. Then came the farce of a bloOdless exchange of shots, a court of inquiry, and a llushinc , up of the matter by the Commander-in-Chief—for the contained many lords' sons—on condition that all persecution against the lieutenant, against whom the officers of his regiment admitted they had no complaint to make, should cease. But from the day on which the said officers pledged themselves to receive him among them in a friendly manner to the day on which he left the regiment, a captain several years afterwards, not one of these generous soldiers exchanged a word with him save on duty. Yet the lieutenant was the only man in the regiment concerned in that business who had behaved in it with spirit and honour. I once asked a younc , Irishman, who had joined the corps subsequendy to the fracas, why he did not speak to Lieutenant ? He answered— " Upon my word, I don't know. The poor fellow has never done anything wrong that I know of ; but none of ours speak to him ; so I don't." Since that day, sir, and it is not very long ago, some of the " capital fellows" who conspired to, drive this young man from the service have mar ried prostitutes, and have retired into private life, much regretted by their comrades ; many more have been obliged to fly their country for swin dling on the turf, also much regretted by their comrades; repeated courts of inquiry have hushed up orgies which ought to have broken up the regi ment, and must have done so had they been in quired into publicly ; and not one of them has been heard of in the service as a gallant or a good soldier. In another of these regiments the following operation is being systematically conducted at the present moment with the knowledge and approval of every officer in the regiment save the one who is its victim :—A young man has been appointed to it who is the son of a solicitor. His brother officers, who are not by any means themselves all sprung atavis regibus, resent his appointment, and have determined to drive him out. But as he is a stout fellow, and is known to have excellent legal advice handy, they do not think it prudent to at tempt to carry him by assault—they judiciously prefer siege operations as less likely to cause waste of life. So none of them will associate with him, and the young man, who, they admit, does his duty well, and is gentlemanlike and good-tempered, has now lived alone in his regiment for nearly two • years. Which they are fond of telling, They have 'a Story) w_ that the lad's father lent money to their colonel, and that the accommodation was . repaid by g , the son a lieutenancy in the regiment. And they have not the wit to Eee that, if the story be true, it may afford an excellent reason for avoiding the intimacy of their colonel, but no reason at all for cutting the youth, who, of course, could have had nothing to do with the matter. The example which these worthless regiments set h a s, I am sorry to see, penetrated into the line, and we have in the 46th a picture of a regiment of ,‘ bricks," who are determined to stand by one another, and to allow no " sl aw coaches" to thrive and be happy in their society. As yet we have obtained but glimpses of that society. I trust, however, that, the courts-Martial on Colonel Garrett and Major Maxwell, which must surely follow, will afford us a more complete view of it.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A CIVILIAN.

Tll,‘; Life . of Marguerite D'Angouleme, Queen, o :Navarre. By Martha Walker Freer. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. It is somewhat - singular that this should be the first time that the life of Marguerite D'...-ingouleme should have formed the subject of a distinct bio graphy. , The eventful period in which she lived, the stirring scenes iu which she took a part, and her powerful influence at court, would seem to dis tinguish her life as one eminently calculated to at tract the special attention of the student of history not less than her own talents, high . principles, and kindness of disposition. Brought upby her talented, though violent and imperious mother, Louisa of Savoy, the idol of all who surrounded her, looked upon with more consideration at court : than either of the queens of France, in an age when one Church was treated with neglect and contempt, and the other struggling with the terrors of the stake, in a capital the most depraved, if the most polished, in Europe—it must, indeed, have been Margue rite's native virtue that preserved her piety, devo tion, and charity unshaken and unchanged. The affection subsisting between Louisa of Savoy and her two children, Francis I. and Marguerite, was so great that they were spoken of by contemporary authority as the Trinity of Frame. Louisa of Savoy, .or Madame, as she was called after her son's acces sion, was a woman of great abilities and Command- . ing mind. The two feelings whiCh ruled her con duct were ambition and devetion to her children. Her qualities for government were undoubted. After the terrible defeat of " Pavia's fatal field," she became Regent, and conducted affairs with so much diplomatic ability that she soon succeeded iii alienating Henry the Eighth from his ally the Em peror Charles V. In one instance, however, she was the cause of great Misfortune. It was owing to a quarrel between her and the Conitable de Bourbon, in which she laid claim .to sometof his estates, that that distinguished soldier became a traitor to his country. His conduct cannot be de- • fended, but it met-with signal punishment. Styled by the haughty Castilian . nobles .".El...tritidot de su reg," at war with his own countrymen, and look ing with distrust and suspicion on the promises of Charles.* Fifth, he seemed to have gained little by the treason. His death affords a singular warn ing. Sforza was besieged in his citadel of Milan. The troops of Imperial. army occupied the city, extorter money by t or t ures f rom the inhabitants, and spreading desolatiOn ar oun d them. Famine and murder reigned in the flourishing town, till grass grew in the streets and suicides were of daily occurrence. The gates were guarded so that none might escape. In the midst of this the Duke of BOurbon arrived. Th e citizens threw themselves at his feet, and begged for release. He replied with apparent sympathy, and told them that it was the failure of the sup plies that had caused their misery, and that if they would furnish him with 30,000 d treats—the army's pay for a month--he - would withdraw the troops from the town and encamp without. " I know," said he " that you have often been deceived by similar promises ; but if I deceive you in this, may God, who now hears me, cause me to perish in the first battle or assault I giye, by the first shot fired by the enemy." The citizens believing him, raised the sum by great effort, when the duke withdrew a few regiments from the city. to its suburbs. In vain the people pleaded ; they were driven from his presence. But his broken oath was fulfilled. The next " battle or assault" in which Bourbon was engaged was the assault of Rome, when he, the first to mount the breach, was killed by the first shot. Though Madame had alienated this powerful subject from France, she was of great as sistance to the king in his councils. But Margue rite was' his companion in all his favourite pursuits ; she sympathised in all his tastes, and he found in her consistent and enthusiastic affection a constant resource from the cares and factions that harassed his reign. Marguerite did not inherit her mother's disposition • she was of a more gen tl e an d p i ous nature. der influence over the king was para mount to every other, and remained s o till hi s death. The deep es t affection united them, and though each was married twice, neither fou n d a companion capable of eclipsin g the early love and sympathy. Her love for her brother was evidently the reason that held back the Queen of Navarre from the confession of her sympathy with the doc trines of the Reformed Church. But though not openly avowing her feelings, for fear of displeasing and perhaps injuring her beloved brother, Margue rite afforded the Huguenots every assistance and encouragement. Countless were the intercessions for pardon, the withdrawal of prosecutions, and the tolerance of individuals that may be traced to her. It is suggested that one drawback to these constant intercessions was the vacillation in the king's conduct between his desire to conciliate the people and his wish to please " !iignonne," as he used to call her. This fluctuatlon between two extremes encouraged controversy, but it moderated the rigour and cruelty of the persecutions. In her own domains of Beam, Berry, 4:c., Mar guerite ever afforded an asylum for the suf ferers for their faith. She never openly re nounced the Church of Rome ; but her neglect of its ordinances and her well-known tolerance of the Reformed tenets exposed her to much animad version. Marguerite was not very fortunate in domestic life. Her first husband, the Duc d'Alen con, was a churlish and unintellectual man, who utterly disgraced himself at the battle of Pavia. He had command of one of the wings of the army; and, though not attacked, when he saw the other wing and centre routed, instead of hurrying to the rescue, to the indignation of his officers he hastily retreated. Marguerite, overcome with grief at her brother's defeat and capture, refused to see him. The Parliament threatened him with impeachment. He was soon after taken ill, when Marguerite, with her accustomed gentleness, visited him and im plored her brother's pardon,. He soon after died ; and after some years Marguerite became the wife of Henry of Navarre, Prince of Beam, dm. He possessed nothing of Navarre but the title of King, as Charles V. was monarch of all Spain. It was peculiarly fortunate for Marguerite that in neither of her marriages did site quit France ; for though a great attachment existed between her . and the King of Navarre, lie was eleven years her junior, and sympathised very little with her love of art and literary tastes. No one eve r . equalled . her brother in her affections • her devotion to him was the great object of her life. For him . she restrained she undertook her journey to Spain when ce sacrifice the confession of her religions opinions ; for h hint prisoner, to negotiate for his release. vive both him and her mother, to see t seemed too great.

Nor literary talents wer e considerable. She an d her brother were con stantly in the habit of corresponding in poetry. She published many works, some extracts of which and some short poems , are given in these vo lumes. They possess considerable merit; and when we consider the length of time that has passed since they have been written, we shall feel inclined to rank them very high. A great number, of original letters are given, which are full of interest. They show the queen's character just as she is described in the biography. It was one of her favourite em ployments to solicit forgiveness for offenders, or favours for those who wanted them. It gives a strong impression of Marguerite's unbounded influ ence over the king, to fin that all these petitions were granted, notwithstanding their number and variety. Contrary to the usual custom, it was her fate to rule supreme over the court of her native country. The author of these volumes has derived much assistant: in the toilsome research necessary for her materials from the publication •of manu scripts connected with the history of France by command of the late Louis Philippe. The work reflects on the writer the highest credit. The vast amount of study requisite, the wide and varied in formation necessary, the tedious and laborious cot. lection of the authorities, are sufficient to appel of any but the boldest from undertaking a work history. The life of a queen may not at first had sight seem to require all this ; and truly, if been either of the queens of Francis 1., it have been necessary. But wen-y ns, sympathisede‘ ena i o e t e m l dh remember hardlythat Marguerite shared all the king ' s i sorrows, gave with his triumphs, grieved over , and even went as her counsel in difficult questy:i t 7 . , v in his cause.
