GENERAL CA.NROBERT AND LORD
RAGLAN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN;

SlR,—General Canrobert, as we are aware, with a
noble self-sacrifice for kis country's good, has resigned
his command in the Crimea to General Pelissier, an
officer under his command.

Taking into consideration the delicate co urtesy and
good breeding for which our French neighbours are so
distingnMied, think you not that it maybe a hint to
Lord Raglan to resign his command also, seeing that
his lordship has made so little progress in Übe successful
prosecution of this great war, and for which he appears
to be unequal to the occasion.
With two great countries like France andl. England,
desirous of prosecuting this just war with unparalleled
vigour, is there no master mind, no genius, :no man of
sufficier.t energy, decision, and judgment, and; up to the
mark tclead us on to victory? If not, then indeed may
we mourn for retrograde France ! degenerate England
The times want not a mere narrator of eveni`s, as Lord
Raglan appears to be, but an energetic, feirtile, judi-
cious, ;Ltd unconquerable spirit, who meets wi th difficul-
ties, but with a determination to die or overci ma° them.
Such a man would soon put a very different aspect on
affairs.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

a jockey being weighed for the politica .1 Derby.
~his lordship weighs dreadfully li ht -and hie smirk o
self-satisfaction; while to t e scale- of -tibe-
ralient,l'rogress, and Solidity, is admirably I )on trast ed
with the disappointed looks of Mr. Punc% :and John
Bull, the latter of whom exclaims—" Poor tdd Pam
Too light I'm afraid Mr. Punch,"
