THE SUN.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 6, 1880.

There will shortly be deposited in their final
resting-place under the roof beams of 'Westminster
Abbey the remains of the late illustrious Earl of
DUNDONALD. But—we are actually given to
understand—the ceremonial will, after all, take
place not at the national expense, not at the instance
of her MAJESTY'S Government ! It is scarcely
credible that the meanness evidenced by this
country towards this glorious citizen during
the greater part of his protracted lifetime
should absolutely be continued after his death,
should thus—to render the story of England's
ingratitude in his instance complete —be per-
petuated and persisted in, so to speak, posthumously.
Lord COCHRANE, the Earl of DUNDONALD, had
earned from his native land all the honours within
the gift of the Sovereign, And how many of those
honours had been accorded to him when he expired
the other day, in the eighty-fifth year of his age,
at Kensington? -Why, he was a G.C.B. Literally
that was all : that was the beginning
and the end of all the honours ever
awarded by this rich and powerful empire
to a man, who had some half century back illus-
trated the glory of our arms upon the great deep,
as no man ever illustrated them upon that ele-
ment saving and excepting only our immortal
NELSON. And we have even ample assurance
from the deeds of unsurpassed heroism, which were
again and
again actually accomplished by Lord
Coma.
ANY-, with means apparently altogether in-
adequate, that, to equal even NELSON, this daunt-
less heart only needed the opportunities. Greater
courage no man ever possessed. A readier genius
upon all occasions, 11130 n every emergency, how-
ever sudden or unexpected, a readier genius as a
naval commander-in-chief,
no
man ever manifested.
There was, in truth, the brain to devise, and
there was in very deed the hand to act. Of a
se t-captain like this one would
uaveth
ought that
England, of all countries in the world, would have
been proud. Instead of evidencing
anything like
this grateful appreciation of this extraordinary
character, England manifested every disposition
to thwart him in his career of glory, to cover him
with ignominy even instead of with honour, in
return for his many resplendent achievements.
We have told the melancholy story of his wrongs
anevr since his demise, and we did, so
not without emotions being stirred within our
hear t's core, vital with a sense of profound and even
pairaful indignation. But that the facts are upon
rec and they would positively be incredible. That
th e heroic Lord Comm INE, of all the valiant
czi.ptains in the Royal Navy of England, should,
upon a manifest blunder, have been so treated !
That the blunder was manifest at the very time of his
conviction was shown in a most signal manner by
the electors of Westminster, who re-elected him
their representative eleven clays after Lord
°DeI:MANE had been wrongfully condemned to
undergo a year's imprisonment, to pay a fine of
X5OO, and, at the close of his incarceration, to stand ,
