TO THE EDISOF. OF THE TIMES.
SIR,—One of your contemporaries has lately in-
formed the public, I presume in bitter irony, that
Her Majesty's Government has taken the earliest
opportunity of testifying its sense of the services of
General Havelock by giving him a good service

pension of 1001. per annum.
Sir, I am a soldier of 21 years' standing, who have
endeavoured to 1-arn my profession, and have read
with passionate admiration of the heroic constancy
and devotion of soldiers of the British army at all
periods of its history ; but never did I read of any
achievements or of any devotion or fortitude
superior to those which have been displayed by
the handful of heroes who have been led by the
avenger of his countrywomen on their victorious
march of incessant fighting from Allahabad towards
Lucknow—fighting not only against those human
devils, the rebellious soldiers of the Company, but
against a deadly sun and a deadly pestilence.
Sir, the great deeds of Wellington, from the be-
ginning to the end of his brilliant life, never lay so
near the hearts of the English people, and never
found so loud an echo in them, as those which
General Havelock has crowded into a few we-lie.
I am not comparing the victories of General Have-
lock with those of Wellington in the abstract, but
I do say that English pulses never s'3 beat for
Wellington's most brilliant victories as they have
done to the incidents of Havelock's avenging march.
Yet the Government insults the feelings of the
country by rewarding with a pecuniary dole the
man whose name is bleesed by every English wife
and mother, and to whose skill and energy, if India
be preserved to us at the present time, that pre-
servation will be mainly attributable.
I only echo the sentiments of most men in the
British army in saying that I should feel it more
glory to have formed one of Havelock's force than
to have fought at Waterloo. I say the odds' were
infinitely greater against him ; the interests for
which he fought were equally great, and they were
infinitely nearer to our hearts.
When all the circumstances of his situation are
fairly considered, the achievements of General Have-
lock are unsurpassed by any in the history of Eng-
land, and the smallest recognition of his services
which will satisfy his countrymen is that he be
made a Lieutenant• General and G.C.B.
But probably the routine of the s,.rvice stands in
the way. Our governors have shown that they can
disregard routine when it suits their purpose. Let
hem keep routine for little deeds—these are great

ones.
Can any one of the batch of K. C. B.'s made after
the Crimean war compare in his services for one
moment with General Havelock ?
Can even Sir W. Williams of Karz, to whom the
country has been so lavish, compare with him 7
Must England always be open to the reproach of
rewarding with iodiscreet profusion or with un-
worthy parsimony?
Or does the British Government act on the
cold-blooded rule of the Roman Senate, which
denied'a triumph to the Consuls who took Capua
from Hannibal on the ground that they had only
recovered that which originally belonged to the re-
public? It is, perhaps, because Havelock has only
overcome Sepoy mutineers that he is not thought
worthy of any reward except a pecuniary one, to
which he was well entitled before.
Any mail that arrives from India may tell us
that this good man and good soldier has fallen in
the fulfilment of his great mission. Let us not
have to reproach ourselves that we did not recog-
nise his merits until he was no longer able to de-
rive comfort and encouragement from the recog-
nition.

Your obedient servant,
A SOLDIER.

THE LATE ADMIRAL BOXER.—The gallant admiral
was about 65 years of age. In a second he was in his
boat, holding his helm and talking to every one he met.
His boat was seen in every part of the harbour, and
often in the bay, even in rough weather. From day-
break till sunset he might be seen rowing about like a
hunted pirate, rather short in statrue, very active, quick,
and expeditious. Sailor-like, blunt, straightforward, and
by report generally liked. Such I found Admiral Boxer.
—Soyer's Culinary Campaign.
TROOPS FOR INDIA.— Southampton, Monday.—The
steamer Sultan, Capt. Neil Cook, one of the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's fleet, is to leave this port on
Friday next for Alexandria, with two companies of the
Royal Engineers, consisting of 250 men and 11 cfficers,
who will proceed' by the overland route to Bombay and
Calcutta. The Ewan° will, we believe, follow about a
fortnight afterwards with another body of troops for the
same destination. The European and American Com-
pany's steam-ship Calcutta, Capt. Blackmer°, having
completed her fittings, &c., leaves to-morrow for Cork,
where she is to embark the 51st Regiment for India.l
RACE BETWEEN CHARLES LEWIS (OF BETHNAL-GREEN)
AND THOMAS ROBINSON (0) MILE-IND).—This race came
off_ on Monday at Mr. Robert Sadler's, Garratt-lane,
Wandsworth. The distance was 120 yards. Lewis had
the important advantage in his favour of being several
years younger than his opponent, and this bad the effect
of causing his friends to be so confident of victory that
they at once made him a decided favourite in betting,
freely laying the odds of 7 to 4, and in some instances 2
to 1. After making one false attempt they succeeded in
bounding off, and a finer or more even start could not
have been possibly effected. No sooner had they got
fairly to their stride than the struggle was commenced
at a tremendous pace, the competitors in splendid style
keeping well together until about 60 yards of the dis
tance had been accomplished, when Lewis, despite the
efforts of his opponent, gradually stole from him, and
went in a'winner-by three yards.
The Aberdeen Journal states that Mr. Welsh, of the
Observatory at Kew, ha., for the last six weeks, been
making a series of observations over Scotland, south of
the Caledonian Canal, on the variation, dip, and
of the earth's magnetism. Similar experiments are
going on at present in England and Ireland. Mr.
Welsh intends to extend his observations to the north-
west of Scotland next autumn, and to lay his results
Lefore,the British Association in 1859.

THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.

(This Day.)

The election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing official
year took place this morning at Guildhall. There was
a large attendance of the Livery and the pirblie ; and
in consequence of the notoriety gained by Sir R. W.
Carden (the senior alder man next the chair, and next in
rotation for the Mayotelty), in the evidence given by
him before a committee of the House of Commons, rela-
to the openieg of public-Louses on Sundays, greater ir.-
terest was manifested in the proceedings than usual.
At 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the
Sheriffs (Mr. Ald. Laurence and Mr. Allen), the Com-
mon Sergeants, Alderman Sir P. W. Carden, Alderman
Kennedy, Alderman Wire, the City Remem•
brancer and the other officials, in their robes of
office, proceeded to St. Lawrence Church, Old Jewry,
where the prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Calvert.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Albert Alston,
M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge, chaplain to the
Lord Mayor, from Ist Cor., chap. iv., 2d verse—"lt is
required in stewards that a man may be found faithful."
It is a singular circumstance that the procession to the
church was headed by Mr. Thomas Rose, in his robes of
office as deputy bridgemaster, the gentleman against
whom Sir R. W. Carden obtained a summons on Satur-
day at the Mansion-house for publishing libellous
matter against him.
On the return of the procession to the Guildhall,
shortly after one o'clock the Lord Mayor took the chair.
There were present besides the aldermen at church
Alderman Cubitt, Alderman Rose, Alderman Carter,
Alderman Sir J. Musgrove, Alderman Humphrey,
Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P., Alderman Sir G. Carrell,
Alderman Copeland, Alderman Sir G. F. Moon, Alder-
man E. H. Maggeridge, Alderman Salotnons, the
Recorder, Mr. J. J. Mechi, Mr. Keates, the late sheriff,
Mr. Crossley, the la.e senior under-sheriff, Mr. Potter,
Secondary, Mr. Nullard and Mr. Parker, the two new
under-sheriffs, &c. &c.

The Crier having made the usual proclamation—
The RECORDER came forward and addressed the meet-
ing. He said they had now ti ex-reise the important
privilege of electing a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing.
The livery woull be loft in the possession of the Hall
for that purpose, and he was sure they would well know
how to discharge the duties that would devolve upon
them. (Cheers.)
The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then returned. Three
cheers were given for the Lord Mayor (Alderman Finnis),
and a groan for Alderman Carden.
The Common Sergeant next came forward and read
the nomination of the aldermen below the chair who bad
filled the office of Sheriff, and were eligible for Loid
Mayor, viz. :—Alderman Sir H. W. Carden—(cheers
and hisses)— Alderman Wire—(loud cheers)--Alderrnat
Carter—(" Another time")—Alderman Cubitt--(cheers)
—Alderman Muggeridge—(cheers)—ant Alderman
Kennedy, whose name was received with hisses, cries of
" Oh, oh," and " How about the British B.ak
Mr. Anderton stood forward, and said that he ap-
peared before the Livery for the purpose of opposing the
election of Sir H. W. Carden. (Loud cheers, hisses,
and great confusion.)

Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE appealed to the livery to give
Mr. Anderton a fair and impartial hearing, if it was his
intention to prnpose a candidate in opposition to Sir
W. Carden, otherwise he would be out of order. (Hear
and cheers.)
Mr. ANDERTON again attempted to address the livery,
but was met wilh biases and cries of " Down," inter-
mingled with some cheering. He then said that without
consulting Mr. Alderman Finnis he should propose him
for reelection, and in the event of his declining to
accept it, they should elect Alderman Wire. He had
no objection to Alderman Sir R. W. Carden personally,
but he had a great objection to him as a public man.
He disapproved of his politics and conduct as a magis-
trate, especially his arbitrary conduct towards the
publicans. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of his address
he exhibited a placard " Vote for Lord Mayor and
Alderman Wire."
The CITY CRIER then called over the names for the
selection of the livery, which from a rough guess of
those in front of the reporters, appeared to be as fa-
