TUB CRIMEAN INQUIRY.

SEVENTH DAY.
(Cot &and from yeetniay'e Rinevem.)
It r li'y to some farther question frim Collin! Tennis.
Geo. rat A•ny said be was under the impend= that the
*Neet of the enagaissionere was only to gain information as
to the supplies of the array. If that were the case, the
leant of the commissionen for applying to ohs Quarter-
muter Gleaml for information was that he was in contest
oommuu.caVon with the Commiseary 0 I. He au
diri red to glve to the cosunisionets every lamination in
his p .wer.
Colon' Toilet`, salted wiiy, nadir any eircumetasees,

iletry sun to that coadorted by the omosimionete it is nu&
to Coil rce diege • ter they biro taken evidence ?
Ge..e;tl Airey—l Coat coiner that the y Mould take the
fira at J nee that they hear as final and complete. I think
wh e e oat:Women come onto an ermy like that in eh,.
Crimea !n ob.am wormaioe, toey out, t to lean to stone
unturnel to obt.in complete and toll Information upon
it ov p .in-. When they don't get Info rmatioe that they

tior Dor int toe tune that the oonstniniot ers
was in the Crimea, cholera woe so severe, mat
men is fall bia'th in the :corning were corpses
in the alumina ; sod the commissioners went
to Constantinople for the benefit of their heelth as a greet
many o her. dial. was recomme odd to go myself, but I
did n t. There woo no reason why they alt •uld sot have
whined to the Crimea after that, and have pose farther
Into nines', and I believe that each a promedint would
have WO the 'fin of preventing the necessity for such as
investigation as thii, at least to far as mums the Quer:u-
-m& tat-Oesetal's department.
Cvinal Tialloch—Were not the commissioners in the
Crimes three months, and did they not wain the com-
mander of every regiment and the qumtermuten. How
Auld nay have brown that them information was Leos-
pine ?
0 1 Airey—l really cannot unarm that question. It
del e ds ciao the characteristics of the commieoionets, how
far they were abl • to arrive at a right anderetanding of the
objects at the evidence.
C. I ,nel Tolleak—When did you return home from the
Crimea?
0 I Airey—Last Dumber.
Colonel To:loch—That wee, I believe, before the rep•it
was published.
(instal Airey—l stover saw the report till Jess ,1856.
Colonel Tnr.och—When yes saw the report did it not
tenor to son tint you might pot right any matter en which
the commiseionen were not properly informed ?

eel-tied by 'he government for a particalar service, het
when I Innate uquieted with the report, rant:log es it

potion of the report.
Sir G. Berkeley—Wee not the report made before you

Genial Airey—lt is a morose circesutanos that it has
never been brought before me offisielly up to this day.

it le sot fair to try and ieteiravate me late as aimiseies of
