ME CRIMEAN MILITARY INQUIRY.

TWELFTH 131 iTING.—THEI DAY.
The Board of General Officers re-assembled this morning.
after an adjournmeat from Monday last, at Chelsea Mee.
pital. As on every previous occasion, every member of the
board was present. At the opening of the proceedings,
Lord Lamm repeated a request, negatived os a former
day, to be allowed to put in written answers to certain quell.
thus which be (Lord Lucas) bad addrased to Admiral
Dasdai, with reference to any assistance that could have
been afforded by the fleet towards towards the construction
ef temporary shelter for the horses.
The Judge-Advocate, after conference with the board,
said the board were of opinion that at present no cause had
bean shown for receiving that which could only be deemed
inferior or secondary evidence, bat if Lord Luca° should
hereafter wish to call Admiral Dundu, the board would
then consider what kind of evidence they would receive
from him.

Colonel Talbott' then read a statement made by General
Allay to the board that if he had known the commis-
sioner' wished for anything more than general information
upon general subjects, be lhould have given semen that
would have led the commissioners to form different conclu-
sions, and also a letter from Colonel Gcsdon, in which that
dam stated on behalf of General &ivy that be could
give no faller information than ha bad already given to
questions, 62 in numher, almost every one of which con-
, tained imintatione of carelessness or neglect upon the part
of his department Colonel Tonal) contended that it was
appertat from this letter that the questions addressed to
General Airey must have been specific, and ought to have
had specific answers.

After some wainterestina coovenation,
The Judge-Advocata palled upon Colonel Tulloch to pro.
pied with his final statement.

Colonel Turoch, regretting the difficulties of the position
in which he stood, said he had no doubt of being able,
nevertheless, to convince every unprejudiced man in the
country, of the substantial accuracy of the information
gathered by the commindonen in the Crimea, and em-
bodied in their report. He then went on to read a long
pap. r, stating that if he could have brought before the board,
as wito eeeee , the captains of transport vessels lying in the liar-
' boar of Balaklees at the time when shelter for the horses
was so much needed, there was hardly one of them who
veld not have testified to the este with which canvas and
sailcloth might rave been procured. Had the inquiry taken
place in the Crimes, his p sitlon might have been better,
as he would then have been in a position to show the daily
labour of the cavalry. Not the least of the difficulties
with which be lead to contend was the guerded manner
fa which military officers were compelled to ex-
press themselves in a report to the government,
statieg what defects they bad eletec'ed, but ab-
staining from imputing blame or neglect to any officer by
name. Asd this was more especially the case when, as in
the unseat instance, there was an implied obligation of
placing before the country the result of their investigation.
He believed the board must be ceicvinced that the commis-
sioners had passed no aisimadversiens uron any one, but had
merely pointed out defect., leaving it to her biejesty'a go-
vernment, if they thought proper, to push the inquiry
farther, and determine where the blame ought to rest.
The whole question between the commissioners and those
who might be to blame resolved itself into this. In Novem-
ber it was apparent that shelter for the horses ought to be
provided. Yet week after week parsed, the horses were
dying daily in great numbers, and no attempt was made to
provide shelter of a really efficient character until at lent
half the horses had died. The winter was nearly Over,
sad the erection of permanent shelter was almost nude..
The question was, why was not that etch'r provided before?
The gallant officer then reviewed the evidence given before
the commissioners upon this eueject, compering it with the
evidence given before the hoer& con•ending that the
former fully justified the comen'seierers iv their conclusion
that temporary shelter might easily breve been provided ; and
that the latter open referred to points upon which no
Information was given to the commission whole in the Crimes,,
and upon which, therefore, they were at that time keine-
featly informed by the military dean; while it by no
mean. removed the impression previously formed by him,
that there had been a great want of ingenuity and Trompti-
tede in providing shelter fe r the eLvalry horses. In sup.
port of this opinion, that sailcloth might have been made
available fir shelter, he quoted from the evidence given by
Colossi Thempeon, Colonel D,herty, Colonel Douglas,
CJlocel Griffith., Colonel L welt, Mr. Bracebridge, Mr.
S.wltn•oo, and others. With regitrd to the evi-
dence of Sir Edmund Lyons, that the fleet could spree
no sailcloth to the army, for the purpose c f sheltering the
horses, he begged the board to suspend its judgment on
that po'ut until the returns which he had asked for should
be obtained of the qusatity of reserve nilclo•h and canvas
on board the vessels lying at the time at or near Kamiesels
and if any difficulty wes found in procuring that return ho
begged to suggest that it should be moved for in refinement.
Passing to the question of carpeting, he asserted that a fall
supply might at any time have been obtained from Gannett-
throttle in a few day., and taking thin, acd the comparative
ease with which sailcloth might have been got into conside-
ration, he thought be was justified in his conclusion that
[ shelter might have been provided for the hones
two months earlier than was actually the cue.

plied to the commissioners in the Crimea, of the employ.
