TIMES.—The course of Exchange at New York on London is 1081 per cent., and the par of exchange be tween England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.07 per cent. against England, but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the discount on these 60 days must be deducted from the aforesaid difference. By adviccs from Hamburgh the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6. and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 3, it follows that gold is 1.42 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 5 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 27f, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 20, it follows that gold is 30 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London.

THE WIDOW BARNABY.—The New Volume of " The Standard Novels," which will be published at the end of the present month, will comprise Mrs. Trol lope's very popular novel " The Widow Barnaby," the best work of this clever novelist. There is great origi nality, much honest jolly humour in it. " The Widow Barnaby," says the Times, " is such a heroine as never before figured in a romance—such a jovial, handsome, hideous, ogling,bustling, monster of a woman, as maid, wife, and widow, was never, as we can recollect, before brought upon the scene. The novel is full of real harmless drol lery and humour. It is as good as Paul de Kock, and be sides exhibiting a m o re extensive and accurate knowledge of human nature, is written with much more decorum and moral usefulness."

SIR,—I should feel particularly obliged (and no doubt others similarly situated, too) if you, or any of your readers informed upon the subject, could give me information respecting what windows, or other lights, are exempt from legal assessment ; and also what kind of division constitutes a partition between glass, so as come under the class of separate windows or lights. Does the law (I can't help smiling) require a certain thickness only of frame, in order that a large window may not be mistaken for two ? I have always understood that places of business were totally exempt. But I happen to occupy a very large house, and there being two shops, I let one ; so that 1 am charged with duty on the shop window, glass door, and fan-light, because I do not occupy it myself. Thus a small shop is charged with three windows. I hope, for the sake of the public at large, that the As sessors will adhere universally to this mode of charge ; and then, as a consequence, the light of heaven will be shut out from a very great number of places, at pre sent unconsciously blessed with it. Several rooms of my house having four windows, I can easily spare two from each ; and then, instead of 101. or 121., my share for the pure light of the sun will be reduced to at least one half from the next year, should I get no redress for the present. I would throw out, by way of suggestion to the Gas Companies, that it would be worth their while to invent some method for purifying their gas still more, as they are likely to be more generally patronised, should our good Governors not be able to give us a cheaper sup ply.—Your constant reader, October 26. W. R. [We cannot possibly venture to give an opinion on the difficulty started by our Correspondent. Perhaps some Tax Collector, or Commissioner of Taxes, or lawyer, will clear upthe point.—En. Sun.] FUNDHOLDERS! WE CAN'T PAY YOU AND THE LANDLORD'S TAX TOO. We have over and over again proved that the bread tax costs the people more than all the State taxes to gether. The landlords do not, it is true, get all the money that is taken out of the pockets of the people ; a great deal of it is wasted. But mark, Fundholders the landlord's tax and the waste must all be paid be fore you get one farthing. People will buy bread be fore they buy sugar, tea, or coffee. What wonder then, Messrs. Fundholders, if after the landlords are allowed to take their share (i. e. all they choose), there should be too little left for you ? You are told that the Corn law is necessary to enable us to bear the burden of the National Debt ; many of you have been weak enough to allow yourselves to be deceived with this argument ; you have been so foolish as to believe that you can enjoy a partnership with the landlords, and most of you have been quiet spectators of the iniquitous ope ration of the Corn-law. Well, the last two years have witnessed a rise in rents and a decline of the revenue— are you satisfied ? If you wait another quarter, you will have still further proof that the nation cannot pay you and the landlord's tax too. There is a falling off in the revenue at the rate of half a million a quarter. Yet our population has been increasing as fast as ever ; from forty to fifty millions sterling have been laid out in railroads ; there has been a great activity in our dockyards and arsenals ; and almost all our mills and large manufacturing establish ments have been working full time. But then, on the other hand, the rate of wages for skilled labour has been reduced from ten to twenty per cent. ; and unskilled labour has almost reached its mi nimum price. The people still toil on, and the capita lists still export their cheapened productions, but with a constantly diminishing reward for employer and la bourer, and, need it be added, with a less amount of taxed commodities consequently consumed by both. When the Anti-Corn-law Deputies waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer last spring, and warned him of the danger in which the revenue was placed from the effects dale Corn-law upon the commerce of the country, he heard them apparently with unmoved con fidence. Doubtless he was then revolving in his mind his project for increasing the income by putting an additional five per cent. upon all existing taxes. His plan has now been tried, .and. there is a greater defi ciency than ever. The landlords have so around the faces of the poor, that there is nothing left for the Chancellor but the dry cheek bone. After the expe rience of one more financial quarter, the Right Hon. Gentlema❑ will be in excellent heart for joining bodily the Anti-Corn-law agitation. But, Fundholders ! one more word with you with re ference to the argument that the Corn-law enables the nation to pay ) our dividends. Look at Ireland. There is a country that is especially benefited, if any part of the kingdom be, by the bread tax. What proportion of your dividends are paid by Ireland? Look at the returns of the revenue ; (it is an affair that deeply con cerns you and your children ;) see what a fraction of the income of the State is derived from the potatoe-fed millions of Ireland. But if you get little from that country, others get much. Would you know the amount of the tax paid to the landlords of Ireland ; compare the enormous rents in that wretched country with the rents paid in England, and you will find that the landlords levy even a heavier bread tax upon the Irish than the English. Does not this prove that the landlords and you are at opposite ends of the sausage, and that the more that is swallowed by them the less there must be left for you ? Again we say, Fund holders ! the nation cannot pay the landlord's tax and you too.—Anti-Corn-law Circular. " Gentlemen,—l have the honour to transmit a set of regulations which have been drawn up under my direction for the consideration of the Magistrates as sembled at Quarter Sessions, with a view to establish, as far as may be practicable, uniformity of discipline and government in gaols. " A great part of these regulations has been already sanctioned by the Magistrates in some counties, and proved to be highly beneficial. " References to Acts of Parliament, and to regula. tions by statute, have been introduced for the conveni ence of the Magistrates, that they may have before them all the principal provisions upon this subject. " I request your particular attiltttion, to the regulations - relating to convicted misdemeanants s orthe first division, which have been prepared in pursuance of the provisions of the 3d and 4th Victoria, c. 25. " I have only to add that if you adopt these regula tions, as I hope you will be enabled to do, or any por tion of them, it will be necessary that they should re ceive the certificate of the Secretary of State as required by statute. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obedient servant, " NORMANBY. " To the Magistrates of the County of assembled at Quarter Sessions." Alderman GIBBS moved that the communications should be submitted to a committee of the whole Court. Sir P. LAURIE seconded the motion, and said that the Committee would seriously enter into the consideration of the regulations along with their own. The motion was agreed to. THE ELECTION FOR THE MAYORALTY. Alderman GIBBS presented an application from cer tain Liverymen, who objected to the proceedings at the poll on the last day of the election for the Mayoralty. Those Liverymen, amongst whose names was that of Deputy Brock, had applied to the Sheriffs for a copy of the last day's proceedings of the poll, in consequence of the impression that persons who were not at all qualified to vote, had presented themselves as qualified—a species of deception of the most mis chievous nature. The Sheriffs however, could do no thing more than recommend the applicants to the Court of Aldermen, as they had no authority over the poll books. Alderman GIBBS moved that a copy of the last day's poll should be granted to the applicants upon the pay ment of the expenses of the same. Alderman: HARMER said that he believed:a person was brought up to the poll on the last day of polling, be tween two individuals in the interest of his opponents, and that this person walked away upon being questioned from the hustings, with out p ollin g . Sir PETER LAURIE t hou g ht that this application was a very reasonable one. f i c an it tiwnd:the i t was it Y.

R Certainl customarywAa s l d s u e c r m h Alderman tntohNi makerthT WHITE such wisheda npracticea p t ks: weren a h n ? it would be advisable not to do anything likely to per petuate a bad feeling arising from the contest. He deprecated any step calculated to revive disagreeable feelings, which ought to die with the contest itself. The applicants might, if they persisted, have copies of the polling of every day of the contest, but to require merely the last day's proceedings, appeared to him to be one sided, and he should decidedly oppose it. Sir C. S. HUNTER asked what could be the use in multiplying writing if all that was required was one day's polling ? Alderman WHITE—I appeal to the Recorder whether such a thing is usual as to grant copies of one day's pol ling, and whether it copies be required of the proceed ings of an election, every day's polling is not included ? The RECORDER said that he was not aware of any in stance in which a partial portion of the polling at an elec tion was required or granted, but sometimes the whole contents of a poll-book were published. Alderman HUMTMERY was of Alderman White's opi. nion, that the most advisable course would be to sink in oblivion any thing of an irritating character, instead of raking up what was calculated to cause further irrita tion. On public occasions it might be necessary to adopt some means of prevention. If what he had heard was correct, the dead were called to life upon the late election, and appeared at the poll as if they had never undergone the ceremony of sepulture. Alderman GIBBS said that all that was required was simply the last day's polling. He did not see what rea sonable objection could be entertained. Alderman HARMER—They can have the whole proceedings of the election, I wish it by all means. Sir PETER LAURIE--Most certainly I am for giving the whole of the proceedings. It is most proper to make a strict inquiry into the nature of the proceedings. We know perfectly well that nothing is more common than for persons to come forward at elections to repre sent others. Nothing can be more base, and it is our duty to have our elections conducted with as much purity as possible, and to prevent the possibility of any future imputation, such as has been made. I un derstand that the only objection that can be made to this application is the expense. I have been told by the Secretary that the expense of the proceedings of one day's polling will be 101., and that of the whole proceedings will be 401. Now, Ido not think that the City funds can be better applied than in providing a security against improperly voting on elections ; and on any future occasion, prosecution must follow detection. Alderman FAREBROTHER was of opinioease n d w that the the Sheriffs had the power to do as they plith poll-books. He thought that if any of the proceedings were granted the whole should be granted ; but he pre ferred the alternative of sinking the whole into oblivion, as the election was at an end. They should take care, however, to guard against any future imposition, by questioning voters in such a manner as would readily lead to detection, if fraud was contemplated. Alderman GIBBS, as one of the Sheriffs, stated that the poll-books belonged to the Corporation, and not to him and his colleague. Alderman FAREIROTHER—If that be the case, I shall move as an amendment, " That a copy of the whole proceedings of the poll be granted, the applicants paying for the same." The amendment was carried. Several Reports of no public importance were brought up and agreed to, after which the Court adjourned.

CHRONICLE.—AIthough we remain in uncer tainty as to the result of the Ministerial crisis in Paris, a feeling of confidence prevails that a peace Ministry will be established under the auspices of Marshal Soult, and that on the arrival of M. Guizot important steps would be taken towards the formation of the new Cabi net, preparatory to which the meeting of the Chambers had been postponed till the sth of November. The signal success which has attended the operations of the Allies in Syria, and the change of Ministry in France, would have been attended with a decided im provement in the English Funds if they had not been depressed by the tightness in the Money Market, pro duced by the limitation of discounts by the Bank of England. The rates in the discount houses continue at fully 6 per cent., and on the Stock Exchange money was wanted to-day on Consols at fully 4 per cent. The fall in Exchequer Bills is accounted for by the demand for money. Our Philadelphia correspondent mentions that the revenue of Chili for the past year was 52,289,108 the expenditure $1,700,000, and that 5200,000 had been remitted to England on account of the dividends. Still no results beneficial to the bondholders have as yet transpired out of the presence of Senor Rosales in London. We are willing to believe, however, that his time is taken up in making the necessary preparations for the promised paymeat, and that the requisite an nouncement will speedily be made public. It is stated by our correspondent that the war against Bolivia and Peru would not anticipate the revenue, nor cause new loans or new taxes. This is important, but the notion of a bankrupt state like Chili carrying on a war at all, except for self-defence, is entirely insufferable. The money expended in paying troops and defraying expenses of armies against her neighbours belonged to the English bondholders, and it was a gross fraud upon them to apply it either to objects of external aggression or of internal improvement. thought that the form in which the statement made its appearance required contradiction. That contradiction has not been*given ; and, from information which we have received from private sourees,''we now suppose there can be no doubt that some such address (though not, . . indeed, to the precise effect reported in the Brighton Herald) was actually delivered by Sir John Macdonald to the officers of the llth Hussars. The observations which were really made by the Adjutant-General appear to us to be susceptible of a very different interpretation from that generally put upon them by our Contempo raries, and after stating what we believe to have been their substance, we will explain the views we are in duced to take of their meaning. We understand that, after the officers were assembled, the doors locked, and names called over, Sir John Macdonald requested that all present would pay serious attention to the wishes of the Commander-in-Chief ; and expressed Lord Hill's deep regret that in a regiment which could boast of the honour of being commanded by the Consort of her Majesty such dissensions as had become too noto rious should unfortunately exist. He then read a let ter from Lord Hill, which referred, we ,believe, to the nature of those dissensions, and the circumstances under which they had arisen, alluding particularly o the court. martial held, and the sentence passed, upon Captain R. A. Reynolds. It stated is the strongest terms the indispensable necessity of harmony, unanimity, and a mutual good understanding between the officers and their Lieutenant-Colonel, declaring that a regiment in which unanimity did not prevail was unfit for service, and expressing the fears of the Commander-in-Chief that such was now the case with the 11th Hussars. That the harmony, therefore, which until recently had existed in that regiment should be speedily restored, was an object of paramoUnt importance. His Lordship then proceeded to declare his views POST.—The advises from the French capital were again of a favourable tendency. There is a greater disposition on the part of the people to support the in terests of the King and the newly-appointed Ministry than had been anticipated by our speculators here, and prices are accordingly looking up. Consols opened at 87i for the Account, and subsequently advanced to 871, but from this they receded to 87i. The bcar party did their utmost to make an impression upon the market, and, to a certain extent, they succeeded ; but the ope rators of that section proved too weak for the full ac complishment of their purpose. The state of the Money Market is decidedly in their favour, inasmuch as the scarcity of accommodation which is beginning to be felt as so great an inconvenience to the trading and still more to the speculative interest in the country towns cannot but have its influence in the metropolis before long, if, indeed, it has not done so already. In the Bank and Miscellaneous Share department there was literally nothing passing, but indisposition to do business upon anything approaching to a liberal scale was almost observable in those of the Railway Corn panies. The reduction occasioned in the supply of money by the recent alteration made in the arrange ments of the Bank of England, with respect to dis counts, is still severely felt by share adventurers, though there can be little question that the frequency of acci dents on the various lines of late has tended in a greater or less degree to check them in their career, especially those of the number who were speculating more particu larly for time. The exchanges on some parts of the Continent are found to be less favourable again. The rate quoted from Hamburgh is decidedly so. With us, the bills negotiated this afternoon were, with the exception of what were passed on that city and Frankfort, though as nearly stationary as possible, a shade better, upon the whole, than on Friday last. The corn-importing houses were considerable takers, a circumstance from which it is concluded, that, availing themselves of the reduced rates caused by the temporary closing of the British ports, they are once more buying up grain in the north ern markets. Such is, in truth, known to be the fact, and, be the consequence what it may, we feel bound, therefore, to state it. These renewed operations in corn will, it is evident, interfere much with the measures of the Bank of England, the object of which has been to rectify the exchanges, so as to prevent the further drain on their gold reserves, and to give increased cur rency to our manufactures and colonial products abroad. It has been stated in one of the Journals that, see ing cause to be dissatisfied with the proceedings of the Board of Directors at Philadelphia, Mr. Jaudon, the London agent of the United States :Bank, had given notice of his intention to separate la,:mself from that establishment. It was added that :Mr. Jaudon was, moreover, on the point of connecting himself with another banking institution on the termination of his labours in the service of the former concern. Doubt ing the accuracy of this report, we have made inquiry upon the subject, the result of which is that we find it to be without foundation. There does not appea to be a syllable of truth in either part of the state. ment. Indeed it follows, pretty munch es a matter of course, that, if the first portion of it could not be substantiated, the second must inevitably fall to the ground. The story has, we believe, been transferred from the columns of a New York Paper which is but too apt to give insertion to important announcements without the requisite authority. of the relative duties of subordinate and command- ing officers :—" All British officers were gentlemen, and were bound always to maintain that character with unblemished truth and honour. On the part of those in an inferior rank insubordination, caviling at orders, mere groundless complaints, perverse miscon struction of language, and gratuitous imputation of offensive motives, were unworthy of both the characters which they bad to sustain. On the other hand, it was the duty of a commanding officer to be gentle and mild towards his officers ; to make some difference between home-quarters and colonial service ; and not to visit trifling offences with severity. In the present case his Lordship could not help expressing his conviction that if Lord Cardigan had acted with more moderation, fewer complaints would have been made, and promised that if any future complaints should be properly re ported, they should be strictly investigated. As for the past, he would not any further recur to it, or suffer others to do so. He forbade officers to speak of it. The object of the present letter was not to rake things up, but to heal." This, we believe, with some general compliments upon the ap pearance of the regiment at drill, was the whole suh stance of Lord Hill's letter and the Adjutant-General's address. And who can read this account without per ceiving, by the effect which such au address must have produced upon any high-minded and sensitive man Lord Cardigan's position, what was the purpose and in tention with which it was actually delivered ? One of the finest regiments in her Majesty's army, Prince Al bert's Own, is in a state of dissension which renders is (so judges the Commander-in-Chief) absolutely unfit for service. That such a state of things should be termi nated, is pronounced to be indispensable. And how oats it be terminated except by the removal of its cause ? And who is its cause except Lord Car digan ? Lord Hill does not order inquiry. And why ? Not because no complaints have been made, for there are many lying before him. Not because those complaints are of too frivolous a nature to justify in quiry, or to become the grounds of animadversion and punishment if proved, for his Lordship promises, that if any similar complaint is hereafter made, it shall be investigated. Why, then, is inquiry held to be unne cessary ? Plainly because, even without inquiry, the Commander-in-Chief is convinced that the complaints which have arisen are only too well founded, and tvoulEl never have been made if a proper degree of moderation had been displayed by the Lieutenant-Colonel. But lest the Lieutenant-Colonel should suppose that he will be permitted to continue in the regiment, giving vent to the same unbridled license of temper and tongue which he has been proved by experience to be incapable of learning to restrain, it is distinctly intimated that this is the last opportunity which will be afforded him of retiring without judicial disgrace ; and it he remains to give occasion to further complaints, no influence can be hereafter interposed to prevent the law of equal military justice from taking effect upon himself as well as upon his captains. Let him, therefore (so advises Lord Hill, with a silence more emphatic than words), now retire at once, while he can do so with honour. All that I can do (his Lordship would say) is to give him this last opportunity. Let him take the only step which can restore unanimity to Prince Albert's Hus sars. Let nothing be said or done, under the actual circumstances, to deprive his retirement of the appear. ance of being a voluntary act. I request, I command the officers to spare me the necessity of going further than this, to spare Lord Cardigan the mortification of doing, under compulsion, what it is more expedient that he should do of his own accord ; to spare the army at. large, and the llth Hussars in particular, the discredit and the injury to military discipline which must arise from any further public exposure of their disagreements. Lord Cardigan must and will appreciate his position; he will see that there is only one way to save himself frosts fn. ture disgrace, the regiment which be command/ from perpetual discord, the Commander-in-Chief from the imputation of partiality and injustice, and the principles on which the discipline of the British stymy is adminis tered from the heaviest impeachment at the bar of public opinion. Let the officers doltheir best to snake his parting from the regiment as little painful as possible, let the past be forgotten, and let every (see exert him self to promote the immediate regioration of htrinouT and mutual good will. This, we are sur e , i s th e true r y a e i d on to p th ri e day ll i t a h ate lt s u s.

We trust Lord Cardigan will lose no time in acting upon the hint whiall has been given him with so much delicacy and forbear. ance, and save us, as:well as the officers whom he has in jured, and the Commander-in-Chief, from the naoassity of any further recurrence to the subjedt.

Accidents on railways, with appalling loss of life and mutilations of body, have recently become so frequent as to devolve an aw f u l respons ibili ty on t h ose en t rus t e d with the direction and management of these mighty agencies of human intercourse and traffic. That these accidents have been, for the most part, if not solely, the result of negligence, or improper management, rather than of casualties necessarily incidental to railway travelling, is a fact which, while it should stimulate the vigilance of those charged with its con trol, affords at the same time the most gratifying as surance that the good—incalculable as it is—Which railways are destined to achieve will not be seriously or permanently impaired by the dangers of which recent occurrences might excite the apprehension. It is imperatively incumbent on the Directors of every railway in the kingdom immediately to institute a most searching scrutiny into the regulations of the several lines under their management, and also into the habits, character, and efficiency of those employed thereupon. The scrutiny is prompted by private in terest as well as by a regard for public safety. One of the recent accidents occurred from not allowing suf ficient time to intervene between the starting of the trains and the neglect of efficient signals. Another from the engine -driver applying a power beyond what the construction of the rail could safely bear ; and the last fatal occurrence happened, it would appear, from the engine -driver having fallen asleep. The other re cent catastrophes have occurred from similar causes, all which demonstrate, beyond the possibility of denial, that by better management this lamentable loss of life might have been prevented. This is a statement which the Directors and Proprietors of railways themselves should have no hesitation to admit, for if such catastro phes as those to which we allude be the inseparable at tendants of railway travelling, scarcely any one would be found to venture life on such a hazardous mode of conveyance. It is because such accidents may be guarded against that we augur no permanent detriment to railway property—no ultimate privation of their ad vantages to society, from their attendant danger, when once placed and maintained under an improved system of management. The profits of railways generally can well afford a vigilant and efficient administration, and if the Directors neglect their duty, after the horrifying examples recently given of the consequences thereof, it will be for the Legislature to take the affair into its own hands, and adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary to protect the lives of the public. It may in any case be desirable to have inspectors appointed by the Govern ment to watch over the general regulations of every line, the conduct and habits of all immediately employed upon it, and to report immediately whenever they dis cover anything likely to cause danger. By such means travelling by railway would become as safe as any other mode of conveyance. In making these observations, we are influenced only by public interests, and beg to be considered as altogether aloof from the personal acri mony which embitters the remarks of the Chronicle and Times.

(From the Morning Post.) All who have paid attention to the progress of affairs relating to the pending election of High Steward of the University of Cambridge must have perceived strong symptoms of a disposition on the part of Lord Lyttel ton's supporters to cultivate the favour of the resident members of the Senate, to the neglect and disparage ment of those Masters of Arts who have emerged from the cloistered seclusion of a college life, and embarked the faculties and acquirements with which nature and education have endowed them in the business and duties of the active world. It is no wish of outs that any oc casion should arise to institute a comparison between these two classes of voters in respect to their relative value and importance. We have the highest respect for both ; and we believe that we shall not be deemed unjust towards either when we express the opinion that at any election of an University officer, having constant or fre quent duties to discharge within the University, the votes of the resident members of the Senate may fairly be considered as of greater moral weight than those of the non-resident members, but that the superiority of moral weight in the suffrages of these two distinct classes of electors changes sides altogether when the office to be conferred merely implies confidence and confers distinc tion, when no active and continuous duties within the University are attached to it, and when the general practice has been to bestow it, as an additional feather to his cap, upon a man who has already attained to eminence in public life. In elections of the former kind the non-resident voters seldom, if ever, in terfere ; and the resident voters decide absolutely, as we admit they are the best qualified to decide, upon the comparative merits of the candidates. We are very far from claiming a similar ascendancy for the suffrages of the non-resident voters in the latter kind of elections. All that we object to is, such conduct of Lord Lyt telton's friends as seems to intimate the presump tion of an inferiority in value and importance of the non-resident as compared with the resident mem bers of the Senate, in the election of a High Steward. That Lord Lyttelton's friends are acting upon this presumption is evidenced by circumstances which can neither be contradicted not misconstrued. The combination-room of Trinity College is turned into a Committee-room for Lord Lyttelton, because the resi dent Fellows of Trinity espouse his cause, in opposition to that of the most distinguished man that Trinity College has produced in modern times, and although the non-resident members of Trinity are so decidedly in favour of Lord Lyndhurst, that an absolute majority of the Noble and Learned Lord's London Committee consists of Masters of Arts, who are members of this College. But another and still more offensive intima tion of the low estimation in which the non-resident voters are held by Lord Lyttelton's party is to be found in a direct insult to the whole body of the clergy of London, which we find in the Globe of last night—an insult which is evidently something more than a mere transgression of journalism. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We are enabled to lay before our readers a copy of the memorandum read by the Adjutant-General to the officers of the 11th Light Dragoons, at Brighton. It is a strange document, and not a little ingenuity would be required to show that the various parts of it are in keeping with each other. However, a strong condem nation is certainly passed, by implication, of the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan. He is told, for instance, that he has to command a corps of officers either recently returned from service in a tropical climate, in which the habits and customs of the service must differ from those on European service, or who have been but a short time in the army ; that " he should never forget that those placed under his command by the grant to them of the commissions of our gracious Sove reign are gentlemen of education as well as hinzse?f; under the protection of her Most Gracious Majesty, of the authorities of the army, and of the law, as long as they perform their duty and conduct them selves as officers and gentlemen ought ;" that "he must recollect that it is expected from him, not only to exercise the military command over bis regiment, but to give an example of moderation, temper, and dis cretion, blended with the zealous activity and ability for which be is noted." In a preceding part of the memorandum it is declared— "lt is impossible that it should not be felt that ti 11th Hussars is not in a state in which a regiment ought to be, in order to afford ground for confidence that it would, in quarters or in the field, at home or abroad, reader the efficient service which might be expected from a body of non-commissioned officers and soldiers so well trained and disciplined in the performance of their duty a s light cavalry, in such good order a nd uniformly so well conducted in their barracks and quarters and this on accout of the lamentable disputes and differences among their officers, athieenircedainardesinpseucbtotroditnhaetiirocno.randing officer, their disobe- But that the General C o mmanding-in-Chief feels con- fident that the erro rs of the officers are not to b e at - Bells Life in London of Sunday next, tributed to wilful disobedience, insubordination, or dis- Ncv. 1, will contain a List of the Performances of the respect (f the a uthorit y of their Colonel.
