up last night, but no hay." Common minds will
think that this is rather a conclusive corroboration
of the evidence of the Colonels: Tho Assistant-
Quartermaster-General says,—" No hay, not quite
enough barley." Tho Colonels say, "No hay,
from 21 to 3 pounds of barley." If Col. Mayow's
" not quite enough" expresses any quantity larger
than what the regimental officers have specified, it
may surely be presumed that these gentlemen
judged of quantity in detail more justly than the
Quartermaster judged of it in bulk. There may
have been waste, there may have been, as is, in-
deed, asserted, accidental diversion of supplies.
The fact is clear enough that the horses were
starved, and we may therefore conclude that the
amount of nourishment is more correctly estimated
by those who asserted that it was totally isuilicient.
This is all the defence that Lord Cardigan can urge
against the main charge that the horses under his
command were disabled by hunger, and the effi-
ciency of his regiments destroyed.

Three distinct objections have been brought
against the present mode of providing superannua-
tions for the Civil Service of the Crown—that it is
a positive breach of faith, that it is a great hard-
ship, and that it is extremely injudicious. The
first of these is denied by the Government, the se-
cond is partially admitted, the third is admitted on
all hands. There is, undoubtedly, much force in
the statement of Sir Cornewall Lewis, that there is
no indication in the Treasury minute which directs
deductions to be made from the salaries of the uses
to which those deductions were to be appropriated.
It simply directs that after 1829 a certain percent-
age shall be abstracted from all salaries above a
certain sum—no hint of a superannuation, no word
of an insurance fund. But, for that matter, there
is a great deal of force in David Hume's proof of
the _innocenc, of suicide and murder, which is,
after all, nothing but the diverting of a few ounces
of blood from its natural channel ' • and how can
that be wrong? The question is, what was the in-
tention of the deed, expressed or understood?
And what on earth was the meaning of giving a
man a place the declared salary of which was, say,
2001., and the actual salary 1901. 7 If this was
meant as a mere reduction of salary, why not say
so at once, stating the real value of the appoint-
ment ? The method of ostentatiously retaining
101. out of a man's salary could only be interpreted
as a retention of it for his belied; and, if a super-
annuation fund is not mentioned, it is assuredly
understood by at least one of the parties. Then,
as for the hardship of the case, it is partly admitted,
partly denied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
It is admitted that the terms on which super-
annuation is granted may be a little too strict,
that the-sum to be reserved ea' such allowance is
probably too small, that the service which can
alone entitle one to that allowance may be too long
deferred, and that, especially at present, from the
double action of income-tax and the usual deduc-
tion, it may happen that an increase of dignity
may be a decrease of salary, and that the unhappy
clerk may actually perform the feat of growing
back Wards. But the members of the Civil Service
complain, further, that they do not get the benefit
of their deductions, that these now amount to
750,0001., without interest, and with interest to
nearly a million ; while the sums which in all have
been paid to those of their number who have become
superannuated amount only to about 60,0001. The
chancellor replies—" You speak of 750,000/., the
produce of 25 years' of such deductions ; it would
not cover the superannuations we have to pay in a
single year—the 800,000/. that we have to pay this
year." So far from being a reply, this is the very
head and front of the offence which is found with
the present superannuation scheme—that it is used
to pay the retiring allowances of all as well as of
those who aro mulcted for the sake of it. The Lords
of the Treasury make deductions from the salaries
of certain clerks, exempt certain public servants
both above and below the rank of clerks from these
abatements ; and, when the clerks complain that
they do not get the value, or anything like the
value, of their deductions in superann nations—that,
in fact, if their annual contributions were funded
from year to year at this rate, in GO years the mere
interest of it would pay the whole salaries of the
Civil Service and superannuations to boot—they
are told that at present it is not enough to pay the
retiring allowances of the whole Civil Service. It is
surely a hardship that they should have to pay the
retiring allowances of others than themselves ?
True, it is not in the bond that these deductions
should be for their own hehoof. Neither was it in
Shylock's bond that he should provide a surgeon ;
it was not expected that the bond signed in a mo-
ment of carelessness and ease should be exacted in
dead earnest to the very letter. At all events, the
present arrangement is extremely injudicious;
there is no defence for it. The natural, the inevi-
table result of it, is to create intense dissatisfaction
in a large class of the community, with whom it is
of importance that the Government should be on
the most kindly terms, and among whom it is of
importance that the Government should be on the
most kindly terms, and among whom it is of im-
portance that there should he no private feuds and
jealousies. What scheme the Select Committee
appointed fast night to inquire into this matter
ought to propeseit would be premature at this stage
of tho discusAion to suggest. One party proposes
that there should be no deductions, while the
superannuations should be paid out of the consoli-
dated fund, and on more favourable terms than at
present. Another party adheres to the latter part
of this proposal, but suggests that the deductions
should continue, and go to form an insurance fund,
the whole of the proceeds to be given to the family
of the member on his decease. We may leave these
matters at present to the consideration of the com•
mittee. One thing, at least, is certain—and the
members of the Civil Service may accept it as a
good omen—that the Government is prepared to
make considerable concessions. Their battle is
well begun and half won.

His lordship's arguments are so glaringly con-
tradictory as scarcely to need reply. We were,
however, hardly prepared for his absolute denial
that any proposal " was ever made to send down
troop horses either by Colonel Douglas, Colonel
De Salis, or an officer of the brigade." As three
of the Colonels have deliberately stated that
such was the fact, and that the proposal was in-
variably, rejected, the Matter is simply one of
conflicting testimony, in which Lord Cardigan's
word is placed in opposition to those of his.subor-
divate officers. In such a case we would leave it
to the parties to settle the affair between them,
only observing that comma tency demands that
it Should be settled. But, if we way judge frOm
Lord Cardigan's own discrepancies, it will not be
difficult to form an opinion as to who is the more
accurate. He admits that a Commissariat officer
suggested on the 24th of November that troop
horses should be sent down to fetch forage, and
states that be declined it, on the ground that "the
horses were totally unfit to march seven or eight
miles and then return heavily laden with forage"
without a greater loss than was actually occurring
from hunger. Thus Lord Cardigan wishes to prove
by reports that up to the 22.1 there was little or no
deficiency, and that it would have been absurd for
the Colonels to propose a remedy, and yet two days
later he was of opinion that the horses were in such
a state that they could not get to Balaklava and
back. There seems a solution of the mystery not
difficult to arrive at. Lord Cardigan saw more of
the reports than of the horses reported on. The
Assistant-Quartermaster-General's returns, which
showed that the animals must be suffering, but did
not state that they were actually perishing, seem
to have received from his lordship the interpreta-
tion most favourable to his own case. Armed with
such vouchers for his administration, he could
afford to neglect the representations which, whe-
ther official or private, were, we cannot doubt, re-
peatedly made. _ _

It is useless to follow the late General of Brigade
any further into the reasoning by which he at-
tempts to show that his officers have calumniated
him. Ono argument ho adduces which, like most
that he brings forward, tells against him. He says
that the Colonels could not have advised him to
send for forage, because in their reports of the
16th of November they do not say that their horses
were dying. When it is remembered that it was
after this time that the destitution commenced,
and that Lord Cardigan quotes no document of a
later date, we may judge with what fairness he
seeks to defend his conduct. Equally absurd is
the argument that his Colonels did not appeal from
him to the General of Division. We have reason
to know in what a temper such an application was
received by Lord Lucan in the case of Colonel
Griffith' and that officers should not apply for the
reversal of their immediate superior's decision
seems to us no more than natural. Totally beside
the matter are Lord Cardigan's testimonials to his
own services in Bulgaria and at Balaklava. With
regard to the latter affair, it had best bo forgotten
by all who held any command there. To cite it
in answer to such charges as the present is as use-
less in argument as it is poor in taste. Judgment
must, indeed, go by default if this is the hest an-
swer that can be given to the accusations in the
report.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WOOLWICH.

WOOLWICH, Feb. 19.—0 n Monday evening intelligence
was forwar.!ed to the authorities of Woolwich Arsenal,
and to the superintendent of police, informing them that
the Queen would inspect the invalids of the Royal Ar-
tillery, who have arrived at Woolwich from time to time
from the Crimea, on the following morning. Accord-
in,gly, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning two Royal car-
riages, with servants in plain liveries, entered the Royal
Arsenal gate=, escorted by ,Captain Wilson's troop of
the 3d Light Dragoon Guards, A guard of honour,
composed of the Royal Artillery, with the bands and
drums, were in attendance iu the Dial-square. The first
carriage contained the Queen and Prince, attended by
the Countess of De3art and the Hon. Miss Byng. Lord
Hardinge, in his full uniform of Commander-in-Chief,
and Lord Paninure followed in the second carriage. As
her Majesty's visit was specially intended to be paid to
the invalids and that portion of her brave troops who
have returned from the seat of war, in charge of a goodly
number and variety of Russian trophies, the stay was
not protracted beyond an hour. Her Majesty alighted
in the area, which contains the large assemblage of
guns, and the various articles captured at Hango and
Sebastopol. Major Lukin and the remnant of his com-
panions not on furlough, who came home in charge of
the trophies, were drawn up in the principal alloy of the
Dial-square. The Queen approached the soldiers, and
addressed a kindly question to each as to his health,
&c., and thence passed onward to inspect ono of the
newly-constructed ambulance waggons and carts, which
had been harnessed and drawn up for the purpose of
displaying to the Queen and Prince the convenience
and comforts which the improved system of our am-
bulance now affords. The principle on which they
are built combines the important advantages of ren-
dering them available for the comparatively easy
reralval of eight wounded men in a single convey-
ance with the slightest possible delay and consi-
derable comfort. Each compartment was explained and
laid open, when her Majesty and the Prince took the
most sensitive interest in witnessing the rapidity and
readiness with which the beds were withdrawn and laid
on the ground for the purpose of receiving the wounded,
the beds being as easily and readily replaced. They
then proceeded to the adjacent committee-room, where
a number of invalids were assembled for the Royal visit.
Some of these had lost an arm, a leg, or were otherwise
disabled. To each and all her Majesty spoke in such a
sympathetic tone and manner as appeared fully to com-
pensate them for all their sufferings ; some of the brave
fellows were affected even to tears. The time intended
to be devoted to the Queen's condolence with her dis-
abled soldiers having expired, her Majesty was observed
to remain for some time :n consultation with the Corn-
mander-in-Chief, and was then handed to her carriage
by General Bouverie, The Queen left the Arsenal at 12
o'clock, and returned to London escorted in the same
manner by the 3,1 Light Dragoons.

( Prom the Times of this day.)
Lord Cardigan has made his defence, and the
public have now before them all that can be said,
after a fortnight's consideration, in answer to the
report of the Crimean Commission. It is well
clearly to understand what his Lordship denies.
That the Light Cavalry horses perished of. hunger
and exposure ; that, in fact, the British Cavalry
had ceased to exist as an effective force even before
the winter set in ; that, while in command of an
important brigade at a post of danger, Lord Car-
digan lived far away from his men on board his
yacht in the harbour, are not and cannot be con-
tradicted. All that the country has to complain of
—the mismanagement, and the consequent ruin—
stand fully confessed. All that Lord Cardigan has
to say is that the fault was not his own. In the
usual style of circuitous crimination, of which the
country has lately seen so much, he endeavours to
shift the blame on all around him. His command-
ing officer is guilty, his subordinate officers are
guilty ; he alone is beyond the reach of censure.
We had a few days since the letter of Lord Lucan,
with its insinuations against the Commander-in-
, Chief, its reflection on the Light Cavalry Brigadier,
its allusions to an unseemly passage of words be-
tween the writer and one of his own colonels. Now
we have the General of Brigade imputing misre-
presentation to his officers, and accusing his imme-
diate commander of keeping back letters to the
Commander-in-Chief. . The public is tired and
humiliated by such wrangling, but must listen to
the tale, and probably to many more like it.
It will be remembered that four Lieutenant-
Colonels commanding 'regiments gave evidence of
the rapid starving of their horses after the middle
o f November. They represent, with almost an
identity of testimony, that the animals were with-
out hay or straw ; that they had but 2.11 b. or 31b.
of barley daily ; that in consequence they were
reduced within a few days to so weak a state that
by the end of the month they were useless for all
cavalry purposes, and that many perished when
being led to water. Lord Cardigan denies all re-
sponsibilfty—and for what reason ? That he re-
signed his command on the 29th of November, and
that much of the mortality must have taken place
after he left the Crimea. Some people may think
that the guilt of a negligent officer is aggravated
by the sudden abandonment of his post when the
disasters he has caused are at their worst. But
such is not the opinion of Lord Cardigan. When
he passed from his yacht to the steamer, when
the cliffs of Balaklava began to lessen in the
distance, when Lord Lucan and the Colonels,
Commissariat and horses, divisional orders, re-
turns, mud, and squabbles‘were left behind, and
England with glory and fetes was before him, he
seems to have thought that whatever might
happen afterwards was no concern of his.
Colonel Doherty succeeded him, and mush be
responsible. But, as an lnspector-General of
Cavalry, Lord Cardigan cannot but be aware that
even 15 days is a long period of fasting for a horse,
and may make some change in his condition. He
therefore endeavours to clear himself from blame

—Shewell, Douglas, and Doherty. These gentle-

Cavalry, state expressly that the horses had for
nearly a fortnight no hay, and only, at most, about
31b. of barley. They must have known the fact,
and it was impossible that they should forget it ;
unless, therefore, some half-dozen men were in a
conspiracy to ruin their commanding officer, we
must believe their testimony to be true. However,
Lord Cardigan declares he can refute it ; and to
do so produces the reports for several days of
Colonel Mayow, Assistant-Quartermaster-General
of Cavalry. Those quoted are for the 20th of
November and the two following days. They are
to this effect :—" The troops have a supply of
barley not quite to the full amount ; there is no
hay." " The horses got barley last night, not
quite the full quantity, but no hay." "There

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 19.

There has been!less activity in the markei-thanon

cloths and low printers have been in request, and a fair
business has been transacted, In yarns rather more
business has been effected than in cloth. Both spinners
and manufacturers are well engaged to order, and prices
are firmly maintained.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :
" With the exception of 7 8 and 9.8 printing cloths
and some descriptions of shirtings for the home trade, in
which a fair amount of business is doing, the market is
exceedingly quiet. The excitement of the early part of
last week has subsided ; and for the last few days,
although manufacturers are very firm in demanding an
advance somewhat in proportion to that realised on cot-
ton and yarns, it is impossible to sell in any quantity at
higher rates than those current 10 days ago, as buyers
seem quite determined to resist the advance as long as
possible, and are only buying to make up assortments or
to supply pressing wants, The business of the day is
consequently on a very small scale, and prices merely
nominal."

Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., say
"The market to-day has been less animated, but with-
out having lost in any material degree the improvement
in prices which was gained last week subsequently to
last Tuesday's market. Our quotations will be found
generally raised."
Imps; Feb. 19.
The cloth markets to-day have been of a rather
quiet character, buyers operating with less free-
dom than they did on Saturday. At the same time
the clothiers have not shown much disposition to sell
well-made cloths except at prices above what they asked
a fortnight ago. The consequence has been that the
actual sales in the Cloth-halls have scarcely amounted to
a full average of a Tuesday's market.
The great advances which have just taken. place in the
priees of wools and indigo are viewed in different aspects,
and while they have induced some activity in the woollen
trade, they have also called into action much caution on
the part of manufacturers.

After the termination of the ordinary business, the
official inquiry ordered by the Board of Trade into the
circumstances attending the fatal collision between the
Mangerton steamer and the ship Josephine Willis, off
Folkestone, was resumed before Mr. Yardley ; Com-
mander Robertson, R.N., Surveyor• General of the
Marine Department of the Board of Trade, and Mr.
O'Dowd, a barrister and assistant-solicitor for merchant
shipping prosecutions, assisted the magistrate in the
inquiry.
Mr. Ballantine appeared for the owners of the Man.
gerton, and Mr. Parry for the owners and underwriters
of the Josephine Willis.
The first witness called was Mr. Andrews, who said
he was a fartiler, and was a passenger in the Josephine
Willis, bound to New Zealand, on Sunday, the 3d inst.
He was in the saloon of the vessel at the time of the col-
lision with the Mangerton. He rushed on deck, and re-
turned again to the saloon for his greatcoat and hat. He
got into a boat, which was stove, and the captain ordered
him and the other passengers out again. He remained
on deck 10 minutes after the boat was stove, and the
vessel turned over on ber beam ends, He held onto the
ladder (rigging), and got on the upper side of the ship.
He remained in the rigging a considerable time, but could
see no boat until a Deal lugger came and took him off the
wreck. He first saw the Mangerton steamer drift away
with the tide after she struck the Josephine Willis, and
she continued increasing her distance. He saw the
steamer's lights a mile and a half off. He was in the
mizentop of the Josephine Willis an hour and a half
after she went down. The ship was struck by the Man-
gerton,aboura quarter past 8 o'clock. When she went
down there were 40 or 50 persons clinging to her. There
were four others in the mizenmast with him, and two in
the' topmast. They were all saved.
By Captain Robertson—There were none left on the
wreck when the Deal lugger took us away. Before the
Doal lugger came up I could see people struggling in
the water and clinging to the sinking vessel. That had
ceased some time before I was saved. I mid 40 others
continued clinging to the vessel for a considerable time
before I ascended to the rigging. Others were taken
from the wreck before I was taken. There was plenty
of time to have sent the boat back again from the Man-
gerton and saved more lives before the ship went down.
After the first boat left with passengers she had taken
off three-quarters of an hour elapsed before the ship
went down.

Win. Cushney, a Deal boatman, said he and another
man were in a Deal lugger in the Channel at the time of
the collision. They saw rockets fired from the Mangerton
after the collision, and went off to her, and put the master
of the lugger on board. The captain of the Mangerton
said a ship was sinking outside of him, to the S.S.E ,
and that his own ship was in a bad, disabled state. The
life-boat of the Mangerton came towards them, and it
appeared to be in a lively state, but it did not accompany
the lugger to the wreck. He and his shipmate proceeded
to the wreck and found she had gone down. They heard
loud cries of people in distress a quarter of an hour be-
fore reaching the ship. The lifeboat had reached the
wreck long before the lugger. He and his shipmate took
seven persons off the wreck, and pulled round the ship,
but could see no more. The seven were in the rigging,
which was out of the water. The lugger was 50 feet
long and 11 or 12 feet wide, and Could carry 51 persons.
The lugger reached Deal with the seven passengers, at
half-past 3in the morning. They reached the Manger.
ton alter the bluelights and rockets were fired at half-
past 10 o'clock. It took an hour more to reach the Jo-
sephine Willis. No one on board the Mangerton offered
to accompany the lugger to the wreck. He could do
better without them, and did not ask them to go.
By Captain Robertson—The wind was south-east-by-
south. He was sure it was not to the southward of south-
east. A ship could be made out three-quarters of a mile
at least. If any ono was on the lookout forward a bright

light could be seen three-quarters of a mile.
Capt. Robtrtson asked if Capt. Bourchier, the master
of the Mangerton, was present, and the reply being in the
negative, Capt. Robertson asked if Bourchier had quali-
fied himself to pilot his own ship, and had received a cer-
tificate from the Board of Trade to that effect ?
A gentleman in front of the table replied that Captain
Bourchier had not received any such certificate, or quali-
fied himself to act as pilot of the ship he commanded.
Capt. Robertson—By law he is compelled to carry a
pivot when navigating upon any waters situate within
the limits of any district for which pilots are licensed by
any pilotage authority. The clpfain of the Mangett%m
ought to have taken in a pilot at, Dungeness,
A Gentleman—No one offered himself there.

Captain Robertson—lle should have made a signal
for a pilot.
Cushney said there were always pilots at Dungeness.
James Newham, a sail,r, a; •d 20, said he had been
at sea seven years. He was paid off as an able seaman
at Limerick from the Bristol, of Southampton, and was
a passenger in the Maugerton. He recollected passing
Dungeness. He had just turned into the fore cabin,
and heard the word "Port " two nr three times before

he went upon deck, when he eaw a large ship coming
athwart the bows of the Mangerton. He i►nmediately
jumped down below.

Mr. Yardley—• Why did you do that ?
Witness—l was afraid of the sticks and chimney coming
down, and did not want them upon my head. Alter
the Mangerton had run into the Josephine Willis, and,
finding nothing was falling, I ran forward and had a
loo( where the Mangerton bad damaged herself on the
larboard bow. I then went aft to one of the quarter-
boat,.

----
Mr. Yardley- -Stop ; what damage did you see?
Witness—l could not exactly see the damage. My
opinion was she was seriously damaged. Well, sir, I
saw a child. which I thought Wai in danger and carried
it aft, and I and John Anderson, my shipmate, helped
to remove cargo from the fore part of the Mangerton.
I then went aft to the quarter-boat with Anderson. I
got down the stuntackle, and Anderson followed me,
and a boy in the boat went up and ,dot on deck. I sung
out for more hands to go off to the Josephine Willis,
but could get none. The plug was out of the boat and
she was filling fast, when my shipmate called out for the
plug, and the steward threw it to him. On the way to
theJosepbine Willis we picked up a man named Scott,
and saved him. He was on a life buoy. We went round

the stern of the sinking vessel and found nine or ten
persons on the mizenmast, and took them all off. We
were ten minutes to a quarter of an hour proceeding
from the steamer to the sinking ship. When vie reached
the Josephine Willis we could not see the hull of the
Mangerton.
By Captain Rabertson.—When I and Anderson went
into the boat we did it of our own accord, to save
human life. I asked the second mate of the steamer for
more hands, and he would not let us have any, and Old
us to go by ourselves. his words were, "Go with what
you have." There were only us two. We had previ-
eusly been to the fore hold of the Mangerton, where the
water was, working at her cargo. No one suggested to
go back to the s'Aip to save more lives. About half an
hour after the collision I heard people cry out from the
sinking ship, but did not see them. The boat was half
full of water when we got into her, in consequence of
the plug being out.
By Mr. O'Dowd.—The captain of the steamer said
nothing to us. He did not give any directions to any
one to go off in boats to save life, that I could hear.
The second mate said, "Go yourseivet:, and do the best
you can," when I asked him for more hands. There
were four oars in the boat, and if we had had only two
more hands we could have reached the Josephine Willis
much sooner.
By Mr. Parry—More lives might have been saved if
ether boats had been sent off from the Mangerton.

Mr. Yardley—l wish everybody had done' his duty as
you and y.,ur shipmate have done.
Mr. Parry.—l have no hesitation in raying the con-
duct of Newham and Anderson was highly creditable
to them.

Captain Robertson—No doubt of it.
Juba Anderson, ordinary seaman, late of Bristol,
confirmed the evidence of Newham in every respect.
By Mr. Batlantine—The second-Inate went to others
and desired them to come with us, but they would not
go, and then he told us to go. There was too much
water in the boat for two hands, but we managed her
somehow.
By Mr. Parry—Other boats could have put off from
the Mangerton. The lifeboat could have carried 30
passengers, and four hands could have navigated her.
I thought the Mangerton was in danger till the second
mate said the ship was built in compartments. lam
quite sure more would have been saved if other boats
bad been sent to the wreck from the Mangerton. I baled
the boat I was in myself.
Mr. Yardley asked for a return of the number oa both
vessels before the collision. They were handed to him.
The number of passengers was 70, the crew 40 ; total,
110. Of therm 69 perished, and 41 were saved. The
passengers and crew of the Mangerton numbered 67.
None of them were lost.
Mr. Yardley then declared the inquiry to be closed.

A CRIMEAN HERO.—A subscription has been raised in
