LORD MALIVIESBURY AND THE
GRENADIER GUARDS.

Lord Malmesbury, in his late speech, said he could
only find 18 officers in the Grenadier Guards "at all

connected with the peerage ;" I have also looked (says
a writer in the Times) over the Army List, and find as
follows :
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Colonel and Field
Ma rshal.
Hon. Augw-tus Foley, Colonel.
lion. R. Bruce, Colonel.
lion. J. Lindsay, Colonel.
lion. G. Cadogan, Colonel.

lion. H. M. Percy, Lieutenant-Colonel.
lion. H. T. Forrester, Lieutenant-Colonel.
lion. R. W. P. Curzon, Lieutenant-Colonel.

Hon. John Stanley. Hon. J. B. Dormer.
There are also two Baronets, Sir Charles Russell and
Sir James Ferguson, making in all 27 with handles to
their names.

Of others "not at all connected with the Peerage"
there are—

Colonel Wood, son of Lady Caroline Wood, nephew
of-Lord Hardingtk - _

daughter of Lord Burlington, and cousin to the Duke
of Devonshire.

Colonel Ridley, nephew of the late Lord Colborne,
and married to a daughter of Lord Oranmore.
Colonel Mitchell, eon of Lady Harriet Mitchell, and
nephew of Lord Raglan.

Colonel. Goulburn-, nephew of Lord Rokeby, and son
of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Ponsonby, of the Beiborough

Lieutenant Thynne, son of Lord John Thynne.
Lieutenant Buck, son of Lady Elizabeth Beck, and
grandson of the late Marquis of Thomond.
In all 48 persons, nearly connected with the Peerage.
There are also five eldest sons of baronets, and the un-
der-mentioned officers, also closely connected with noble
families :

Lieutenant-Colonels.—Clifford, Hopwood, and Wyn-
yard.
Captains.—Hatton, Digby, and Mitchell.
Lieutenants.—Clive, Tracy, and Clayton.
62 in all ;—tolerably well for one regiment !
There is here an evident suppressio yeti on the part of
Lord Malmesbury ; and also in his omitting any men-
tion of the officers of the Life Guards, the show soldiers.
A correspondent in this day's Times asks, if Lord
Raglan still receives the salary of Mastor-General of the
Ordnance ? which, for his satisfaction. I answer in the
affirmative ; also, that he has 1,600/. or 1,8001. as
Colonel of the Blues, a pension for wounds, and his ap-
pointments in the Bait, amounting in all to not far short
of 10,0001. per annum. What services he has rendered
to his country to entitle him to such great rewards I
leave to others to discover. I know that ho is the son
of ono duke and the protege of another, and he was made
a Lieutenant-Coloael at 23 years of age, and has for 30
or 40 years bad an easy birth at somewhere about 2,000/,
per annum, besides a regiment, &c.
