THE ELEVENTH HUSSARS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Lord Cardigan stated at the Court-martial that
officers on full pay, by positive orders in the Army,
are probibitt'd from communicating on military affairs
with the public press. If true, this is new ; and how
comes it Lord Cardigan wrote a letter to the Morning
chronicle on military affairs—the Snooks concern at
Canterbury—and that Captain Inigo Jones has recently
written to several London Nexspapers, substituting
" tavern" for " public-house"?

BOSTON, SEPT. 2.6.—A vestry meeting was held at
Boston on Thursday last, when a rate of 6d. in the

made, and on a divison carried by at least ten to one.
A poll was demanded, which was closed on Saturday
afternoon, at .four o'clock, when the Churchwardens
declared a majority of 87 against the rate.

We publish the following extracts from a letter,
chiefly for the purpose of reproving a Correspondent,
who evidently has not read The Sun with even ordi-
nary attention. If he were not guilty of an oversight,
fir which he blames another, he would have seen in
this Journal, so far back as Thursday, that the parties
had arrived at Glasgow on Monday, and that they..
marched in procession through the principal streets.
He would also have seen on Saturday an article headed
" The Chartists at Glasgow," making some observations
on the vast assemblage, and ending with these words
from the Scots Times—" Chartism is supreme in Glas-
gow_Monday has settled that?' •

Stu,—As a constant reader of The Sun, I have been
anxiously expecting to see a report in its columns of
the mighty movement that is now taking place in Scot-
land for political freedom. The Sun being the most
liberal of the daily papers, I thought I had a right to
expect from it such a report. But however, as [mile
has appeared, permit me to give you and your readers
a brief sketch of the movement, which I think is too
important to be passed over in silence by your Jour-
nal. But it may be that you have not heard of the pro-
ceedings ; at all events I will gladly attribute your

silence to such a cause.
From the Vale of Leven Collins proceeded to Glas-
gow, where on Monday morning the most magnificent
political display took place that was ever witnessed in
Glasgow. There must 'have been nearly two hundred
thousand people, with nearly thirty bands of music, and
about a hundred banners, many of which contained por-
traits of their favourite men, such as Muir, Sir W. Ra-
leigh, Maedouall, Frost!encircled with:a wreath of roses,
Collins, and others. The handkerchief which Wilson
dropt as the signal for his execution was also used for
a flag, with a beautiful black border. This excited
great interest. The procession was most brilliant, the
whole being headed and arranged by Captain Miller,
City Marshal, under the sanction of the Lord Provost.
Macdouall arrived scow after the procession had met
Collins, when the mighty mass of human beings moved
on to Glasgow Green, where the meeting was held,
and where the sacred principle of democrecy was never
better advocated.
In the evening a grand soiree took place in St. Ann's
parish church, which was crammed almost to suffoca-
tion. Some wry interesting and intelligent females
took a prominent part at this soiree by congratulating
their guests as men of sterling worth—as patriots in
the cause of universal freedom ; also by presenting
them with medals and Scotch plaid scarf's. The ad-
dresses of Messrs. Muir and Lennox, approached in
many of its sentiments to touching eloquence, and made
a great impression upon the audience. The evening's
proceedings passed off well.
On Tuesday and Wednesday a Convention sat at
Glasgow, composed of Delegates from all parts of Scot-
land, to devise the best means of forwarding the cause
of freedom. Macdouall and Collins attended these sit-
tings, and en 'Thursday proceeded to Edinburgh, where
the proceedings were similar to those which took place
at Glasgow. These two men have been invited to up-
wards of fifty different places in Scotland, and which
they intend t) visit before they return to England.
Such is a brief sketch of the movement for one week.
Yours, &c. E. H. S.

The agricultural campaign in this county has I
opened, it will be seen by a report in our columns to-day,
with the first meeting of a new Association, at Avelcy,
which, full of generous life-blood, promises to progress vi-
gorou3ly in the patriotic and benevolent work of improving
the agriculture of the kingdom, and improving also the
habits, the cumforts,.and the moral tone of the laboining
poor. It was gratifying to see that, notwithstanding all
the disadvantages of weather, them was a spirit of cheerful
interest and earnest feeling running through the whole
assembly, from the venerable Baronet at the head of the
Association, to the humblest ploughboy who contended for
its prizes.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
