SIR HARRY SMITH.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The hearty and sincere eelcoine offered to Sir Harry
Smith at Portsmouth is but a prelude to that which
awaits him from the country at large. There is an in-
her( nt spiri-, of justice in the British people, which lends
these to revolt ugeinst acts of arbitrary power. The)
view z.uch acts as especially
odious when they are the
result of motives which may be fairly and naturally set
in some attempt to bolster up a
down as originating
sinking party, or to shift responsibilities properly be-
longing to the authors of them. Amongst the many
causes of the overthrow of the late Whig Cabinet, their
dealings with the Cape colony occupied a foremost pace.
When the consequences ot incapacity, petulance, end
folly became apparent, no better course suggested itself
to Whig justice and magnanimity than to attempt to
sacrifice the fame, honour, and reputation of one of Eng-
land's bravest and hi st soldiers, in the hope of diverting
from its proper objects the national indignation. The
address from the corporation of Portsmouth to this
much-wronged soldier, and the general feeling which
now pervades the country, is a proof that this despicable
and unmanly attempt has recoiled upon the heads of
those engaged in it, and that Sir Harry Smith, and every
Coothnfierdnce upon the public servant of Britain, may rely with equal
ejustice and generosity of the people
of this country.
In order that the British nation may be aware of the
services and character of the man selected to be the
scapegoat of official folly u
tracingindeed, officer. Seldom.,
been at the pains of pon this occasion, we have
the career of this gallant
fallen to the lot of an indivitild any
age or nation, has it
to present so brilliant a.
military career to' his countrymen's men's admiration. In
Europe, Asia, Africa, and sir.Y
the lag period of feety-uevenenerica—e herever, during.
have triumphed, Sir Harry salytahrs,hathe British arms
s .been present,
encountering the dangers and sh •
obtained by our invincible Soldier aring
In the glories
y• Viso record cf
such services is long, but we feel assured
is necessary in subh a case in giving them no
apology
in full.
Common justice to a brave and injured man requires
--the public service of the country demands illutesirtb it
and honest men are to be for the future protect
ed froma le
outrage.
Sir Harry Smith commenced his military career as a
second lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade in the year 1805.
He was present at the siege and storm of Monte Video,
in 1808, and also at the assault upon Buenos Ayres.
After quitting South America he accompanied the army
to Portugal, and was present at the actions of Robe%
and Viasiera. He then joined the army of Sir John
Moore, was upon the retreat to Corunna, present at
Benevento and Lugo, and finally engaged in the gavot e
cud desperate action under the walls of Corunna itself.
We next find him serving under the Duke of Welling-
ton, in Pertugal, Spain, and the South of France, from
1809 to 1814. During this long and arduous service he
was present and engaged with the enemy in the actions
at the Cos, Redinha, Condeixa, D'Aronce, Sabugal,
Fuentos d'Onor, Salamanca, Vittoria, Verra, Sarre, St.
Jean de Luz, Arcangues, Orthee, Tarbes, and Toulouse.
He was also present and engaged with the storming party
both at Cuidad Rodrigo and Badsjez. From the south
of France he proceeded to America, was engaged at
Bladensburgb, and iu the capture of Washington city.
Upon the conclusion of the American war he returned
to Eat ope in time to partake in the glorious victory of
Waterloo. In 1828 he embarked for the Cape of Good
Hope, and' served under Sir Benjamin D'Urban in the
war against the Kafirs in 1834 and 1835. In 1840 he
proceeded to India, was present in the action at Matta-
rejpore, where he acted as Adjutant-General to the
army. In the Seikh war he commanded a division.
With this division he encountered the enemy at Aliwal,
and obtained the brilliant victory with which his name
will be ever-associated, and in the crowning triumph *of
Sobraon be took pact with his usual skill and courage,
and materially contributed to the success of that great
day. His career at the Cape as Goveruor and Coin-
mander-in Chief is too recent to require recsunting. He
has left to his successor a colony freed from the presence
of an enemy, an army inured to war, obedient, disci-
plined, and brave. An unworthy jealousy, or a still
meaner motive, has deprived him of the glory and satis-
faction of bringing the war to a successful termination;
but his country is not the less his debtor, for he has
insured the triumph of her arms by his wisdom, firms
Dees, and devotion.
It anything could add to the respect and admiration
we must all feel for a man who has rendered such signal
services to his country, it would be the real magnani-
mity he has evinced in his reply to the corporation of
Portsmouth. Wounded and stung as he must be by
the unworthy treatment he has met with, he yet dis-
dains to evince impatience or annoyance. He even ven-
tured to offer some apology for those who had inflicted
upon him such great and unparalleled injury. But with
singular force and ability he states, in a single sentence,
the.cause of the protracted warfare and unheard-of diffi-
culties he had to contend with. " I was," said Sir
Harry, " a governor without a legislature, and a com-
mander-in-chief without an army," After such a decla.
ration, the only wonder is that our empire in Southern
Africa was not reduced to the limits of Cape Town. It
unquestionably proves that he possesses energy and
talents of the first order, when no great and terrible dis-
aster. was the consequence of such monstrous and in-
credible folly.
At a period when the colonial empire of England is
involved, almost everywhere, in serious difficulties, it is
essential to secure the services in Parliament of men
acquainted with the condition and real interests of these
dependencies. Many, constituencies are anxious to ob
tain at this moment the services of able and experienced
men. Where can they find a man whose experience and
ability are more calculated to be of great public utility
at the present time than Sir Harry Smith? The inte-
rests also of the public service require that the British
a, my should have some representative in the House t,f*
Commons, who would be capable of giving that advice
to the country which it could confidently rely upon, in
dealing with so important a matter as the national de-
fences. At present there is not one officer in that as-
een in the habit of commanding
seinbly who Gas ever h
armlet: in• the field. We want such a men in the coun-
cils of the nation. We want a practical, experienced
commander, who could limit expenditure by his advice
to real necessity, and rebuke the puerilities and non-
guise ot peace associations. In Sir Harry Smith the
country can now obtain the man they stand so much In
ed of; and we therefore deem it our duty to impress
the importance of securing such valuable services withou
delay.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sts,—ln the West Kent Guardian, of Saturday
last, I saw an account (copied from The Sun), of
the arrival of an elephant at the Surrey Zoological
Gardens, accompanied by some remarks on the spirit
of the proprietor in securing specimens as they are
imported, in which remarks I perfectly agree, for
during my residence in London, being a subscriber
to the gardens, I had opportunities of observing
the fact.

We live in times when every effort is making to
instruct and amuse the public, and it is the duty, as
it should be the policy, of those in office and au-
thority to afford every facility and support to those
establishments where rational atviusement and in-
struction is offered to the masses ; for depend on it,
Sir, that the conduct and disposition of the public is
materially inflmliced by the description of amuse-
ments they psrtake of. Z lology now forms part of
the education of all classes, and I know it elicited
the kindest and most grateful feelings of the sub-
scribers and the establishment when her Majesty,
with kind consideration, in several instances caused
animals presented to her to be deposited .
the
gardens, which example I trust the nobi and
members of the Government will see the propriety of
following, and bestow some po!tomnenotfeci

serving of tbeir countenance, and equally calculated
to promote the healthful and instructiveamusement
of the public.--I am, Sir, &c.,

THE DUKE or DEVONBIIIItE.—The Cork Reporter
says We understand it is now pretty certain that his
Grace the Duke of Devonshire will pass the greater portion

that Lismore is likely to be honoured with a royal visit this
summer.

1 MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR IN WEST-
MINSTER RA LL.
I Between two and three u'eieee
yesterday afternoon
t;
oors
much commotion was occasioned in the several law court:
at Westminster-hal by an tietxpected visit of Mr.
Feingus O'Connor, the Hon. M6naber for Nottingham
whose extra:: dinars -conduct uite
busine,s of the c f q put a stop to th
or a time. It uPpears that the
Hon. ,‘lember, who Led oily returned to town on Mon-
day evening from his strange flight to America, had come
down to the Hall in the hope of finding the House Sitting,
and learning that it was up for the holidays ho took
r
stoil about the place, and at length sauntered into the
Court of Exchequer. Elbowing his way through the
crowd of persons who were listening to the proceedings
he took his seat at the attorneys' table, below the inner
bar, right feting their Lordships. Tie sudden appear..
erne of the lion. Member and his peculiar conduct at
once excited the attention of all in court. For a minute
or so be looked at their Lordships and listened to the
argument which was going on with much earnestness;
that, however, gave way to a strange wildness of de-
meanour, and waiving and kissing his hand to the bench,
Ibe began to laugh in a very hearty style. The noise made
by the unfortunate Member prevented the argument
which was before the Court being proceeded with; the
barrister sat down, and their Lordships were considering
apparently what was to be done, when the unhappy man
burst forth in a loud tone of voice, acid, half-grinning
said, waving his hard to the Chief Baron, " How do you
do, Sir Frederick Pollock? very glad to see you look-
ing so well, Sir Frederick; you're a noble fellow; I like
you, I do; you're a good fellow." The ushers called
" Silence!" and Mr. O'Connor perceiving, perhaps, that
he was likely to be h.,nded ever to the care of an officer
of the court, hurriedly snatched up his hat, acd, laugh-
ina and boning to the bench, took his departure. One
n', the ushers was sent out to communicate with the po-
lice, and, on the Hon. Member being sought for, it was
found that he bad raid a visit to the Court of Common
Pleas, to the di,comfiture of the bench and bar. Taking
a seat in the inner bar, he shook hands with several of
the Queen's Counsel, talked of his trip to America in a
very incoherent sty le, and, as in the Exchequer, began
to nod and laugh in the judges. This he kept up for
about five mintres, and on Mr. Justice Mania
laying down some principle of law as applicable to the
cause then being beard, he gave vent to a
violent outburst of laughter,
and appeared as
much amused as if the Learned Judge was relating
some curious story. As his Lordship was concluding
each sentence he observed, " lib!' "To be sure."
he entertained

muttering some uncon-
nected sentences to Sir P. Wood, stared
Jus-
tices full in the face and began to nod
and the
laugh Lords
at them.
He gradually movt d himselt more in front
of the bench,
and at length his conduct interrupted, the
business.
He was desirous apparently. of pay-
ing the same
compliment to either one of their Lordship
bad to the Chief Baron, and continued bowingaas
andhe
grinning. Sir Knight Bruce, however, immediately
inquired for one of the officers of the court. The il.
quiry was quite enough for Mr. O'Connor, and before
there was time for the official to be forthcoming he went
bowing out of the court. He next visited the Lord Chan-
cellor, and, forcing his way below the inner bar, began
to nod and smile with his former vigour. As may be
imagined, he settee ded in interrupting the business of
this court; his eccentricities, also, had attracted a number
of followers, and for the time much commotion prevailed.
At length his peculiar demeanour excited the observa-
tion of the Lord Chancellor, who, in his usual calm and
dignified style, desired him to sit down. Mr. O'Connor
again grinned and bowed, and having the fear, probably,
of being committed for contempt of that high court,
bowed and laughed to all near him, and made a hasty
escape into Westminster-hall. He appeared all the worse,
as regards look, for his transatlantic trip, and it was ob-
served that little doubt need now be entertained as to
the condition of his mind. He loitered about the hall
for a short time afterwards, and then sauntered up Par-
liament-street to the hotel where he is residing.
