MILITARY QUARREL. --Major - General • Wetherall,
Deputy-Adjutant-General to the Forces, made an official
visit to Dover Castle on Tuesday last, to investigate the
circumstances originating a very unpleasant dispute
which took place in the mess-room one evening during
the previous week between two captains of the Ist bat-
talion of the Rifle Brigade. The inquiry lasted several
hours, and the result placed both gallant captains under
arrest. Thus the matter remains for the ipresent.—

TEE SILENT MEMBER.—I am an article becoming
scarcer and scarcer every day, soon, probably, to disap-
pear altogether ; so let me write while I can, and if,
after three or four letters, I should cease writing, you
will know that it is because I, too, have been afflicted
with the prevailing epidemic—have spoken, and am no
more. Not that I must absolutely hold my tongue, for
in the House of Commons talking is entirely distinct
from speaking, and is perhaps practised most by silent
members like myself, who need not watch for weak
points from opponents, or fear anticipations of our
best hits from friends. The world can never
know even what is spoken in the house. No human
being has ever read a speech of Mr. Hume's, so much of
its spirit escapes in the reporter's translation. Still less
has the world any idea of what is talked here—
" Where more than echoes talk along the walls."
flow often have I heard the antecedents—family, fortune,
age, dress, manners, physiognomy, and prospects--of an
hon. member discussed as a running commentary on his
speech concerning either Indies.! and how often has the
commentary been better than the text, howbeit all unknown
to fame ! We silent members feel a rankling sense of in-
justice, we are valued only as a class, we are not appreciated
individually ; we know our inestimable importance ; yet
who feasts us with public dinners ? who caricatures us ?
who vituperates us, or gives us any other encouragement
while living ? who will tell of us when we are gone ?
What a stimulus to silence it would be if the nation
were to vote a public monument in the Abbey to some
member who had represented, say Dumborough for fifty
years, and had never once uttered a speech in the house !
What a fine subject for a sculptor ! No inscription
should be allowed, no date, no name ; but the verger
should ibe permitted (if possible, without a fee) to
whisper the sacred word to all young M.P.'s, and even
to Sir John Shelley, who tries to seem one.-270 Press.
