MAJOR CARTWRIGHT and MR. HOB/MUSE.

The following is an extract of a letter from Nit'.
Hobhouve to the Editor of a Morning Paper :
" Had Mr. Hobhouse noe.l Hie words imputed to him, he
would, of his own record, hive apologised for them, with
the same readiness as, of his own accord, he contradicted
them. But he did not use them ; and what he said of the
" Address" was so qualified as to shew that he forgot neither
the Major's character our his own. He called moue state.
melds in the Address film; but he at the same lime said,
" that they had originated, nu doubt, from some extraur-
dioary miaconeeptiun langudge in daily use so all public
disrumiino.
" Mr. llohboose has to observe, that when the Major io
his litter hints that a private remonstrance against the state-
ments contained in his Address would hive been more in form
than a public comment, he seems totally to forget that Mr.
Hoblionse had already made that prirate remonstrance, and
had given the Major the option of hitmelf contradicting a
false statement affectiog Mr. Hohhoase in the Address to
the Electors—he seems totally to forget that the "
valour" which he ascribes to &fr. Hobhouse, had been pee
ceded by the much bolder exploit of privately attempting to
persuade the Major to recognise and to correct a mistake.
" Mr. Hobl 44444 se has to add, lhat if the Major had recol.
leeted it was usbil to make an inquiry as to the accuracy of
reported word,' previously to any remonstrance, be wodid
hardly have 'lnvited Mr. Hubbouse to add to the murk of
public amusement doling the Whitsuntide holidays, by eu.
gaging in the siugolar controversy which he !Media to peo pose.
