TO THE EDITOR OF THE SON.

ieel:inhisnlisere,bleattempt to refute the
arguments adduced by Mr. Layard as to the necessity
of reforming the abuses in the army, dictates his opinions
on military matters in an authoritative tone, but ill
borne out by the result of the ill-giounded and absurd
arguments he has brought forward in his futile endeavour
to prove what is not the case—to show that black is
white, and that the efficiency and best energies of our
army are not smothered under the weight of nepotism,
favouritism, venality, and an undue degree of influence
exercised by the " governing class."

Then, with regard to the

aineham (not Colonel, as ho
.irreverently designated
by Mr. Peel), it is stated no was advanced to that rank
"because he served as a9sistant-adjutant (general?) to
the first division." A very forcible recommendation
indeed!
But what previous services, will it be asked, had this
young officer ever performed to entitle him to the latter
position
on the staff ? And supposing he were in that
situation, creditably to have got through his work, what
apprenticeship has he since served to qualify him for the
far more different and more important duties of quarter-
master-general to an army in the field ? I will tell you
what his services have been : he married the daughter
of the Commander-in-Chief/
Did a Plutarch now exist to draw parallels between
eminent persons of the present day, he might in the
lives of General Cunningham and Lord Eustace Cecil
Vinci matter for a "parallel:" the latter, as it appears,

..
having obtained promotion for an attack of the liver,
the former for one of the heart?!
Mr. Peel says that young generals are just what we
now want ; that Major-Geueral Cunningham is young'
and therefore that " what is, is right." Mr. Peel must,
however, learn that if we want youthful Commanders,
P.'e want such as have not only wooed and won fair
ladies, but who have likewise fairly won their spurs--
such are the Duke of Cambridge, Eyre, Buller, Mark
ham, Mitchel, Slade, Mayne, Edwards, and others.
I could name men still in the vigour and prime of life,
and whose merits might perhaps be revealed, did eircura-
stances only allow them the same fortunate chance that
has raised our present hero to such a pinnacle of fame..
We come to the ease of Lord Hardinge's s3n ''''
bad enough, but not near so bad as that of, his ,son-in-
law, . Colonel Hardinge is said to he a fine young in n°
as
;
he has also before seen service in the field ; but how w
he enabled to see that service ? Why, by a direct in'
fringement of all established rule. Mr. Peel says that
the regulation in his case was dispensed with, " because
he was abroad ;" but I am certainly "abroad" in endea;
vouring to find out by what rule it, was thus annulled
And to justify one abuse this profound logician adduces
the toleration of another equally flagrant, wiiich bar
pened 40 years before ! Thus one mime begets another
until both perpetrator and conniver come to a disgrace;
ful end. Again, because—as alleged by Mr. peel (bn
I have never seen the rule)—it is the " recognised prabc-
tice to allow the Commander-in-Chief in India, when 0.
resigned his command, to recommend an of for pro-

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLomc.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
dosed tamely, with a downward tendency in prices.
The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales. Uplands
at sid. Mobile at 6 7-16 d., and Orleans 6 9-16 d.
The sales of the week amounted to 24,410 bales.
The Railway Share Market was depressed, and at
the close prices fell 1 per cent.
~. Referring to the demand for tallow, Messrs.
Smith and Charles, after announcing that this day
"(1 every Saturday henceforth the market will
kose at two o'clock, remark :
With" The tallow market has bees steady throughout the week,
an upward tendency. The demand for the Continent is
, Still large, and there can be no doubt that the home-melt
both in France and Belgium is very indifferent ; so that there
1' every reason to believe that the demand for this quarter
,Nvio 11 continue. The home produce in this country is also be-
-1 ,v the average, and is likely to be shut during the next few
Tenths, and London is the only port well supplied with
,ereig-r, tallow.,,
The position of the Bank of England is still in-
creasing in strength, without any proportionate
vPening for the employment of its means, and how
much further this is to go must be a subject for
interesting inquiry. The bullion and the reserve
of notes together make up a sum very little short
of thirty millions sterling, the increase in the
Pest week being no less than 505,0001. Such
a return as 'this has not been before the public
for many a day, and it may be indeed pro-
:, t°unced an extraordinary one under exist-
-44g ,circumstances and with war in full
ekreer. There is but one danger in such a state
of ~ ie_ wngs, viz., that money may be made so
foreign countries to draw away part of our surplus,
especially in connection with the French loan'. It
',,_ay be mentioned, however as some relief to ap-
vfehension on this point, that' capital is almost as
kound_. ant on the continent as here, owing mainly

The English Stock market has remained quiet,
at
osbout the prices at which it closed yesterday,
fi i for Consols. The anxiety for later news

rated reports are flying about in every direction.
,P to this moment there is no confirmation of one
.7010ur, that the Malakhoff Tower has been taken
such
the first repulse, and it is not doubted that if
2;01 were the case the Government would be too
glad to make it known forthwith. The Stock Ex-
change members have been more immediately 0c-

ghly respectable firm. It is said that 16,0001.

bought name and that of a co-trustee, the stock was
• in his own name only, although subse-
quently the name of the co-trustee was written in
upon the usual stock paper forwarded to the latter.
The truth has now transpired, and what will be
the consequences is yet to be seen. Exchequer
