The Members of the House of Commons did
not meet yesterday in sufficient numbers to form
a House, and adjourned till this day.

The Standard of last night follows Mr. MA-.
CAULAY'S hint, and expatiates on Lord CARDI-
GAN'S humanity, to lead the public astray from
the real subject of complaint. There was
:no question about Lord CARDIGAN'S humanity;
it was known and stated from the first that the
punishment was ordered to be inflicted by a
Court-martial, and that the Commanding Officer
of the regiment was not responsible for it. The
subject complained of was that Lord CAR-
DIGAN, without the smallest necessity for
doing so, inflicted that punishment on the
Sabbath, and in the same place where a short
ttlme before he and all the regiment had united
in one common supplication for mercy to the
throne of the ALMIGHTY. To turn attention from
that outrage against public decency, by enlarging
on Lord CARDIGAN'S humanity, is worthy of the
Standard, but very unbecoming in Mr. MA-
CAULAY. lirhy, in Heaven's name, should lie
burden himself, and burden the Administration,
with the smallest part of the unpopularity which
*he brutal conduct of Lord CARDIGAN so well
deserves ?

We are inclined to think that the hidden dis-
positions of men, and the general practices
whibh this transaction discloses, are as proper
subjects of public regret as the conduct of Lord
CARDIGAN. In that Noble Lord there
was a total disregard and defiance of
all public decency and religious feeling.
Unaffected by the religious service he had at-
tended, he tortured a fellow-creature on the
Sabbath; and there is no appearance that any
of his officers remonstrated. They all, perhaps,
including the surgeon and chaplain, looked on
it asa customary trifle, made no complaint, and
acquiesced in this brutal desecration of the day
of . peace and rest. The Standard says, " Woe
awaits us when we shall have any other than a
Chriatan army';" but What sort of as army
