SPEECH BY EARL CARDIGAN AT NORTH-

AMPTON.

The Northampton Herald has an account of a
triumphal entry made into that town on Monday by the
Earl of Cardigan, and a report also of the noble earl's speech
in reply to an address presented to him by the oorporation.
The epoch was of a similar character to that delivered at
the Mansion House. Alluding to a passage in the address
in which he was congratulated um his return to England,
he said, "No doubt it is most agreeable to mix with
one's relatives and friends in the country, and with one's
neighbours in the county, bat at the same time, what.
ever pleasure I may derive from it, I mast my that, had
it not been for circumstances, arising partly from ill-health,
over which I had no control, I should not have deemed
it my duty to leave the seat of war at this time,
although, perhaps, my remaining there would have
been almost nukes, for I had nothing left to command.
(Hear, hear.) I still think that, unless some such routes
as I am about to assign can be urged—incapacity arising
fres ill-health amongst the number.--every general
Mau is bound to remain with the army as long u there is
IS SIM SlDONlMllilad—(eheen)—and I am prepared to say

farther, that if my services are again required, they shall
be perfectly available. (Loud cheering.) In the meantime I
have been promoted to a situation—lnspeetor•G 1 of
Cavalry—in which I hope to be able to render consider-
able service to the army by repairing the losses and re-
elerting the dilapitated condition of the cavalry—being,
%short, entrusted with the preparation of all cavalry re-
mits for the army." (Cheers.) Respecting the fatal
"order" he remarked "though I do not pretend to more
sentimentality than other men, it seemed to me at the time,
and still seems, that the loss was no certain and serious, and
the advantage to be gained by the attack so slight, as to
make it matter of deep regret that the order was given.
(Rear, hear.) I received the order, however, to attack,
and although I should not have thought of making such
an attack without orders, and although I differed in opinion
as to the propriety of the order, I promptly obeyed
(Load cheering.)
