TO TRE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT

MELBOURNE.

MY 1,011D,.—1t is stated that your Lordship has ex-
pressed your opinion that Lord Cardigan has been tra-
duced, " as no nobleman could ever so far forget him-
self, and his order, as to contradict any person in a rude
or gross way."
Will your Lordship be pleased to revert to page 10
of Captain Wathen-s Trial, wherein you will find the
following sworn to, by Major-General Sir Thomas
Arbuthnot, the witness and anxious friend of Lord
Brudenell _ .

" On which Lord Brudcncll, in a hasty manner, said
' 1 positively deny that Captain Wathen ever made
such a report to me.' In a tone of surprise 1 again
repeated the question to Captain Wathen, and on his
repeating that he had made such a report to his com-
manding officer, Lord Brudenell said Sir, it is fill—;
the word was not completed, as I instantly put up my
hand, and said, Lord Brudenell, stop !' and I then re-
quested Captain Wathen to withdraw."
I beg also to refer your unbelieving Lordship to the
evidence in pages 22 and 23 of the same trial, and then
will your Lordship be satisfied that this pet Lord is as
vulgar a fellow in language us any cad in London.
Alas, that a 'Royal uniform should be permitted to be
again worn, and consequently sullied and disgraced by
a * * capable of such gross language ! What
result could be expected but repetition of the insult for
which lie knew (his station as a commanding officer for-
bidding it) he could not be made personally accountable.
Late events have proved it so.

the Friends of the Constitution, Camberwell, held its

Bocking, Essex, where it seems Mr. Herbert Oakeley,
