Taos Vora ON MR. Ma'am's MOTION.—In a
letter to the KostisA Gazette, Mr. Charles M. Lualdsitosi
the Pulite M.P. for Canterbury, defends himself from
aaimadeeniems passed by some of his Cooservative friends,
apes kis vote manse Mr. Beebeek's motion. The real
question before the house wee, he thinks, whether a censure
should be attached to the name of the Duke of Newcastle.
'4I weld net essesientionly concur in that oesson,
benne Ide sot believe that the late government is solely
OT Was reopeasible for the privation, or sufferings to
which war hoops have been exposed ; ;and I think
that the spew* of the Duke of Newcastle, since delivered ;
the difficulties which have occurred in forming
another goverment; and the withdrawal by Lard
Lyndhurst, of the motion of which be had gives
notice, have justified the vote which I, together
with Sir T. Aeland, Sir W. Heathens, Mr. Thomas Baring,
sad other independent Conservative members, gave against
a fictitious inquiry."—Mr. Bass, one of the Liberal members
for Derby also stakes a defence of his vote. "No man," Its
says, " is more sensible of the evils of our clumsy, paralytic,
military disorganization than I am ; nobody can be more
anxious to Sad a remedy than myself; but I did not con-
alder Mr. Roebuck's committee could lead to any practicable

improvement in the present eampaign at the earliest; this
opinion was held by the most sanest advocates of the mo.
Lion, and Mr. Layard and others declared their only object
was to overthrew the government. I thought it very doubt-
ful whether we should get a better government, and it was
not impossible we should get a worse."—Mr. Haworth, the
other mamba, promisee to support inquiry into the bed
system of military management in order that a thorough
reform may take place.
