vorced from its noble duties. But I should feel quite
unworthy of the generous sympathy which has been so
universally expressed, were I, by
any act of my own, or
by countenancing any act on the part of the public, to
afford the smallest reason for its being supposed that 1
do not submit patiently to the punishment which my
own indiscretion has brought upon me. Still less would
it be consistent with the principles which have guided
all my actions, were I either directly in my own person,
or indirectly through the instrumentality of the public
sympathy, to imply that I distrusted the perfect up-
rightnesss of purpose of the gallant officers assembled
to judge my conduct. It would be absurd in me to say
that I consider their verdict a right one, culpable
though 1 admit myself to have been ; but I am so
thoroughly persuaded that all the members of the
Court acted conscientiously, and with no object but
the maintenance of military discipline, that I should
grieve exceedingly, on military as well as on private
grounds, at any occurrence which should cast suspi-
cion on my perfect good faith in making this asser-
tion. My loss has, indeed, been a bitter one, but it is
not of a nature to be alleviated by pecuniary compensa-
tion ; and it would certain!yr be augmented by any pro-
ceeding which might be construed into an admission on
my part that the Members of the lion. Court meant
any
,thing but rigid and necessary justice. I have paid
too close an attention to my duties as an officer, not to
know that military subordination must be enforced ;
and, although I cannot subscribe to the sweeping
doctrine, that no degree of' provocation can ever
justify a subordinate in breaking from the strict line
of respectful submission, I feel that I um much too
deeply and too personally interested on this occasion
to consider myself a fair witness as to the nature and
degree of mercy, which, with safety to the well-
being of the army, might have been extended to me.
Such being my views of this matter, I hope and
trust that my assertion will be received as sincere,
when I state it as my most anxious desire that no sub-
scription of any kind be entered into on my account-
But I am, if' possible, even more anxious that no at-
tempt should be made to influence the Crown in my
behalf. I have said already, and I repeat it with the
most unaffected sincerity, that I am not a fair judge
in my own cause, neither do I conceive that the pub-
lic can he so. At all events I feel that my unhappy
fortunes stand a far better chance for amelioration
if left to the genuine uninfluenced consideration
of nay Royal Mistress, to whom all the circumstances
must be as fully known in all their bearings as
they could possibly be made were every hand in
the empire to subscribe a petition for my restoration
td the army. •My gracious Sovereign knows that 1
have served her in all climates for a period of fifteen
years, dueieg which (with one exception) I have endea-
voured to do, and I hope have done, my duty as became
her devoted ser emit. The Queen knows that I have

that these circumstances will eventually have their due
weight, whatever that may be, in the generous e.2nsi-
deration of her Majesty, who knows that soldiers, like
the rest of' mankind, are liable to err from imperfections
of two very distinct kinds—infirmities of temper, and
defects of character ; and assuredly, if her Majesty
shall have reason from perusing the proceedings of the
recent Court-martial, or from any other cause, to sup-
pose, or even to suspect for an instant, that my charac-
ter is such that I am not worthy to hold her commis-
sion, I should be the last man in her Majesty's, domi-
nions to seek the Royal favour on such terms: "But
if, as I trust may be the case, her gracious Majeity

ness—the transient rashness—of a temper too finely

deem his band worthy to bear again the sword which he
has so long carried in defence of his Queen and country.

MUNICIPAL ELLCTIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu—For some weeks past the Tories of this bo-
rough have been secretly preparing for a grand
struggle at the municipal election of this day. The
first indication of their purpose was a hand-bill,
signed by several individuals, purporting to contain
abstracts from the accounts of the Council, and
charging them with having spent 3,455/. 6s. 9d.
during the last five years in an extravagant manner,
but like most of their productions, this was false, and
charged the Council with spending 973/. 65.. I Id.,
more than they actually had; this was speedily and tri-
umphantly answered in a small pamphlet ; but no
sooner was one falsehood disposed of than ano-
ther was quickly forged. Their tools have been
busily employed for some days past in en-
deavouring to trick the electors, one stratagem
among the ignorant (where they found they had signed
the voting papers of the Reformers) was, that they
must sign the voting papers of both parties ; but they
were to call at the Tory rendezvous as they went to
vote. But in spite of their bullying, trickery, and lying,
the electors of blaldon have come boldly forward and
maintained that character forindependence theyso justly
deserve, returning again to the Council with a triumphant
majority the four Reformers who hitherto have en-
joyed their confidence. This is the second attempt
that the Tories have made to get into the Council, but
all their efforts have been unsuccessful, and cur Coun-
cil can boast, although situated in the heart of a Tory
county, and surrounded by parsons, landlords, and
Tory farmers, that not one Tory is in the Council, or is
ever likely to be. Annexed is a statement of the poll
at its close.—l am, Sir, your's respectfully,
