LORD CARDIGAN AND "COMMON SENSE."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—l should be extremely sorry that Lord Cardigan
should have any just grounds for supposing that in what
I have written I have been actuated by any evil animus
against either himself or the gallant soldiers now about
to enter upon active service under his command.
I selected the 11th Hussars for comment because I
had read three, in my opinion, very absurd announce-
ments concerning their preparations for the East. First,
the public was informed that an eminent Irish cutler
had been hired to sharpen their swords ; secondly, we were
told that their officers were occupied in havingpatches of
black leather sown on the seats of their cherry-coloured
over-ails, to protect them from the additional friction inci-
dendal to a state of war ; and, thirdly, we learnt that it
was arranged that the regiment was to embark in
steamers for England, disembark, and re-embark once
more in sailing vessels for the East.
I did not read similar information respecting the pre-
parations of our other cavalry regiments, and thus it
happened that my remarks were directed against the 11th
Hussars.

As a dress for hard work and real service—for resist-
tance to bad weather, for ease and comfort, for fighting
in by day and for sleeping in by night, for months to-
gother, without possibility of change or renewal—l can-
not conceive a more preposterous one than that of the
llth Hussars, as known to the public by field-days in
the Phoenix-park and on Wimbledon-common. If new
and looser war garments have been recently served out
to thorn, as you seem to say, so much the better. I
only spoke of those I have seen them wear for many
years in peace time. Lord Cardigan will readily acknow-
ledge when he gets to the East that nothing can well be
more different in make, colour, and material than the
ample sarance overalls of a French Dragoon and the
scanty cherry-coloured trousers of his own men. I be-
lieve his to be the only regiment in our service which
wears overalls of a cherry colour, whence I infer that
the service generally concur with me and other civilians
in considering it absurd and unserviceable.
With regard to the strong language in which Lord
Cardigan has couched his remarks upon my letter, you
have rendered it nece,sary for me to say more than to
express a _hope that he will when on service, be more
just and courteous towards the officers and men who
serve under Lim than he seems inclined to be to his critics
at home.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
