A PLEA FOR COLONEL BENTINON.

(From The Army and Wiry Gazette, Oet. 14.)
Colonel Bentiock's appointment as Impeding
Field Officer of Recruiting at Dublin will be duly emitted
in the mune of • few days. We have already expruesd
our *Mon upon ita impropriety for One simple name,
namely, that the place is prised by the colonels of the army
who are eligible for it, sad that the selectios of use who
bee fallen under official censure above the many who have
dose their duty neeneptionable is sot just. But though
the justice of the appointment is Dot to ho moistened, we
have baud remove given for it by the way of extenuation,
whit* ere not without some form. The pruning' cause for
Colonel Bentinek's displacement was that be had shown
hiniseif malt for command; that he had not the tad and
judgment which readers,' his retention at the lard of a
regiment expedient in the intiresta of the service. The
place to which he I. now to be appointed is differest to that
of the command of a regiment. The holder is sot brought
into a position of control over a body of OSOWII ; be has to
deal only with recruits, sad so the dequalifintion of
Colonel Benin& for commending a teeniest doe' not
prevail as regards the post of kupeetiog field officer. As
inspecting field ofiker has no opportunity of moos-
ragng round-robin, or oppressing officers around him
to whom he may take exoeption. So tar we have no
difficulty is coaceding that if Colossi Bustin& ought to
be restored to full pay at all, there is no post to which
he could be appointed with • less probability of injury
to the service. Again, we have heard it urged that the
punishment to which be was subjected for his indiaors
Orono while in command of the 4th Dragoon, Guards
was very. sedan Be had invested something like
14,0001. in the purchase of his oommiesima, and his
displacement at once swept away his intereet in OM
9,0001. of that sum, his half-pay commission being only
worth 4.5001. ; in other weds, he was fined something
over 9,0001. This was undoubtedly a heavy penalty for
misdeeds proceeding tether from want of judgment and a
stupid recklamieso, than from any deliberately wrong
Lions. This bung so, the authorities probably considered
that it was an undue hardship to subject him to perpetual
exclusion from employment ; and as they found • place in
which his re-employment wee not likely to make the service
suffer, they consented to give it to him. That such we,
siderations are safficiest to justify the ',mistrust, we
gravely question. That they go for something is the way
of extenuation. we are not inclined to dispute ; and of the
extent to which they are valuable in this reopen we may
leave our readers to judge, having, as we believe, fairly
stated the nevus en the one side and the other.
