AT length the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has pub-
lished his remarks on the Caserxxv Court-martial.
The result is that whilst Colonel CRAWLEY is
directed "to resume the command of the 6th
" Inniakilling Dragoons," Major SWINDLE; Lieu-
tenant FrrzaimoN, and Surgeon TURNER LL are
removed from the regiment. Nothing i% said of
the other officers, non-commissioned officers, and
men. But the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF "trusts that
" the Colonel will prove, by tact and judgment in
" the performance of his duties, that he appre-
" dates the importance of his position as a
" commanding officer, and that the painful
" experience of the past will not be lost
" upon him." tinder circumstances so peculiar
there must be every disposition to put such a con-
struction upon the conduct of the Horse Guards
as will make it, if possible, consistent. But the task
is far from oasy. According to " the remarks,"
Colonel CRAWLEY has been "fully and honourably
" acquitted " by the court—its proceedings have
been confirmed and approved, and the verdict, we
are told, "should now be carried out." . " Lieu-
" tenant-Colonel Casvaxi- will therefore resume
" the command " of his regiment. But why? How
did the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrive at this conclu-
sion? The fitness of Colonel CRAWLEY for com-
mand was never before the court-martial at
That officer has been tried upon two charges, and
upon two charges only—excessive severity toward
Sergeant-Major LILLE; and uttering a false
charge against Adjutant FITZSIMON. It certainly
must have occurred to the Duke, as it did occur
to many reasonable people, that Colonel
Ceswixv might well be acquitted of
both those charges, and might nevertheless be
utterly unfit to command a regiment.
Surely there are many things less heinous than
torturing • sergeant-major and slandering an adju-
tant which ought to disqualify a man for the com-
mand of a regiment. But what th;ilia the Duke
of CAMBRIDGE on this question? It is difficult to say.
If the Duke thinks that because Colonel CRAWLEY
has been fully and honourably acquitted of the
two heinous charges for which he was tried he has
proved himself fit for command, why does he
allude " to the painful experience of the past"? If,
on the other hand, the Duke thinks that it is only
by a happy combination of temper, judgment, and
discretion that the command of a regiment can be
properly conducted, what evidence has been fur-
nished during the late court-martial that
Colonel CRAWLEY possesses those essential
qualifications? One of two things--either the
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF has administered • rebuke
to Colonel CRAWLEY which is undeserved, or he
has replaced that officer in command of a regiment
without due consideration, and in violation of all
consistency. Contrast for • moment his treatment
of Major SWINDLEY with that of Major SWLNDLEY'II
Colonel. In the remarks just published, the
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF says :—" The Court has
" remarked on the animus displayed by Major
" SWINDLEY in giving his evidence. He has not
" ceased to entertain feelings which strike at the
" root of all discipline ;" "and Major SWINDLXY
" will be removed from the regiment accordingly."
Only six months ago the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
said : " Colonel Ca w xer's rejoinder to Mr. SMALLS'S
" defence his Royal Highness considers as exceedingly
"vindictive, and likely to raise a spirit of resistance
" among his officers." But, notwithstanding, his
Royal Highness proceeds to say that be will
allow the Colonel to remain at the bead of his
regiment. Thus the Major who dieplays animus
against his Colonel in giving evidence is removed
from his regiment because such feelings strike at
the root of all discipline, whilst the commanding
officer of this Major, whose conduct is denounced
iniTexceeclingly vindictive, and likely to raise the
spirit of resistance, is retained in command. The
ar:ny and the public have just been reminded, by
command of his Royal Highness the Field-

Mu Court.

The Stratford Committee have lately received
• communication from Gemini Badly' expressive of his
Royal Highness the Priam of Wales's best wishes for the
success of a scheme that has for its object to de due honour
to out great dramatist ; and, although it is impossible for the
Prince to make any ezgagement, at the prompt moment,
to favour Stratford with a visit at the festival, the com-
mittee cherish the hope that Warwickshire will be grained
with his presence on one of the days of the festival.

The infant prince, the eon of the Priuce of Wales,

K de la Gueronniere's journal, the France, pro-
nounces, with considerable boldness, against M.
Rouher's reactionary speech. If, it says, his in-
tention was to sketch the history of facts, be suc-
ceeded very well ; but if he meant to offer a poll-
:. al programme he was guilty of an anachronism.
All the disorders which he alluded to are now ex-
tinguished ; all the passions which he seemed to
resuscitate are vanquished. As to the " irregular
instincts " and " dangerous doctrines " which
he condemns, they no doubt exist to tome
extent, but so they always must do as long as
humanity is humanity. The duty of society is not
merely to crush the culpable excesses of democracy,
but to satisfy its legitimate desires. On these
grounds the France represents M. Rouher as a
Cicero declaiming against the shadow of a Catiline.
Against the doctrine to be inferred from his speech,
that the grave problems of the present time are to
be solved by resistance, the France opposes the
famous words of the Emperor, when speaking 04.'
public opinion :—" Follow it and it runs away with
you ; resist it and it overthrows you ; anticipate is
and it supporta you."
The tactics of the France in citing the above
opinion of the Emperor are very apropos and quite
consistent with the moderate constitutional, and
withal intermittent, opposition which this organ
now affects. But the plain truth is—no matter
what the Emperor may have thought, said, or
written heretofore—that M. Rouber was yesterday
a mere advocate, speaking according to his master's
instructions. This is proved by the political
paragraph which the Emperor lugged into his
speech to the new cardinal, Mgr. Bonnechose, and
which paragraph M. Rouher read to the chamber,
thereby illustrating in a most striking manner the
ioconvenieuce insisted upon by M. Thiers, ce
dragging the Emperor's name into political dis-
cussions. Within ten milutes of M. Rouher's
announcement to the chamber that the Emperor
personally was astonished to find that men (mean-
ing M. Thies and his friends in the chamber) who
had but recently escaped shipwreck were again
invoking the winds and the tempests, 44 votes
were recorded in favour of M. Thiele and against
the minister. This number greatly exceeds that
of the permanent opposition ; it includes very
many sincere friends of the empire, who came
into the chamber under government patronage.
Their conscientious part iu this vote, in spite of
the perilous abuse made of the name of the
sovereign, is the most conclusive proof possible
that M. Rouher's convulsive shaking of the red
flag is out of place. Men whose devotion to the
imperial government was so unquestionable in
May last that they were selected to be government
candidate' are now, by the blind and obstinate
conduct of power, classed with "enemies of the
dynasty."
It is worth noting that when N. Rouher
declared that the Orleans family was still con-
spiring and had not given np its hopes of the
throne, M. Thies exclaimed. "Do not speak ill
of those whom you robbed," alluding to the
Orleans confiscation decree of 1852.

The protectionist amendment came on in the
Corps Legislatif to-day and was opened at great
length by M. Pouyer Quertier, who complained
bitterly of the free trade tone of the address. He
was opposed by M. Javal. M. Auguste Chevalier
proposed to speak on the free trade side, but will
probably not be heard till to-morrow. It is not yet
known whether M. Thiers, who is a rabid protec-
tionist, and who signed this amendment, will
speak in support of it.
During the debate the Duke de Morny was sud-
denly taken ill, and obliged to leave the chair. He
was accompanied to his house close at band by the
physician in official attendance on the Corps Legis-
latif, and his place was taken by Vice-President
Schneider.

The Singapore Chamber of Commerce hare me-
morialised the home government for the abolition of tie
duty on pepper. This duty, they represent, is equal to 160
per cent. on the value of the article, and miesequeetly leads
to frauds injurious alike to the resolute and the public
health, while it also cheeks consumption. Its annual yield
to the revenue is about 100,000/. A reduction of the duty,
however, will perhaps be more easily attained than its ►bo•
Mims. At 21. per lb. it would probably in a short time
yield more than it now produces at 6d.

Mr. Fachter intends to produce Hamlet as his
next great enterprise at the Lyceum Theatre. "The play,"
says the Affietereset, " is to be put on the stage in a magni-
ficent style, sad Mr. Pechter has very ooerteoealy offered
the first night to the Shakespeare Committee. The man.
arms of the Strand and the Surrey Theatres have also, we
believe, offered to give the monument fund the benefit of
a night at those houses."

wbo remember her beautiful mat, nerve, and beady both
in Buttes-row sad with the Queen's hounds, will be grieved
to bear of the death of the celebrated Mite Gilbert. Some
years ego she had a very severe accident in the park ; but,
although she gradually recovered from its effects, she was
*ever quite the same again. She was among the very best
of Mr. Ramy's pupils ; and her portrait, representing her
by the side of a horse which she had just ' put down,'
formed the subject of a pleasant picture by Sir Edwin
Landseer in the Royal Academy some four or five years
ago. Except, perhaps, on very rough ground, when Mrs.
Pitt was her superior, Mr. Davis thought ha had seen no
lady rider equal to her."

Egyptian ophthalmia," says a Hamburg letter,
" has broken oat to a serious extent among the Austrians
in garrison. There are ahead, more than fifty sufferers in
as hospital just established in the neighbouring village of
Eimsbattet. Some surprise was excited, on the first snivel
of the Autriaa troops, at seeing them so often assembled
on muster. This precaution appears to have been inspired
by the fear that the Hungarian soldiers might profit by
their stay in Hamburg to desert."

The Siiele publishes a letter from a young Polish
physician who was sestesoed to transporation to Siberia by
the governor of Warsaw. He states that the political pri•
moms transported with him accomplished the journey as
far as Kiel Novogorod in sledges, whence they proceeded
on foot to Perm, a distance of 250 miles, inking at every
step into snow, the thermometer marking 30 degrees under
zero. Any prisoner who possessed sufficient means was
offered permission to travel in a sledge, on condition that
he should take two geedarmas with him and defray all the
expense, including their pay. This pretended indulgence
was a cruel mockery, for them was not ens among the exiles
possessed of sufficient money to indulge in snob luxury.

MR. GLAISBER'S OWEN TEF.NTH BALLOON
ASCENT FOR SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES, FROM
WOOLWICH ARSENAL, JANUARY 12, 1864.

TO TICS ZDITOS OF TEL CURIUM
$TR,—The Secretary of State for War, the Right
Ron. Fad de Grey and 11.1pcm, having kindly granted per-
minion to the committee of the British Associatioe to
avail themselves of the facilities afforded in the Royal
Arsenal. Woolwich, for future balloon ascents for scien-
tific purposes, the sweet on January 12 took plat* from
there.

This series of experiments nemesitates the use of the bal-
loon at all seams of the year, winter as well as summer.
The lest wee October 9. The weather in November wee far
too windy to attempt an 1110:411L
Mr. emigrell was with his balloon at Woolwich by the
middle al December to get all ready by the 21st, but cir-
cumstances prevented the went oat that day.
Again the balloon was partially inflated on December
30, and also on December 31, on which day the inflation
wee Dearly completed, but ioe formed on the top of the
balloon, and when the filling was resumed a strong wind
arose and nearly drove the balloon on the gas holders, when
Mr. Cowell decided upon letting off the gas and waiting for
more favourable weather.

On Monday, January 11, the balloon was thoroughly ex-
amined, and it was ready to &mead on Tuesday at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon.

No bellooe, as far as I can ascertain, has amended in
England during the present century in the month of
January, and never one during any of the winter months
which has reached any considerable elevation.
Winter ascents are certainly the most hazardous; the
balloon requires constant watching and attention, we there-
fore took our friend, F. Norris, Esq., at the Cooserva-
tire Club, who has made previous ascents, and could assist
Mr. Cozwell u well as myself. Mr. Notris undertook to
watch the ilret deposition at dew on the hygrometers, and
to fill two large bags with air at the highest point we might
reach for analysis by Professor Tyndall.
We took a dog end three rabbits to note their behaviour
when above the clouds, and the effects of low temperature
and sadden changes upon them.
