TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

SlR,—Having read in your Caimans of Tuesday last another
attack upon me by "£lO 105.," it is only just to my original
subscribers that I should submit to you an exact explanation
Of the pmition in which I stood towards them.
In November, 18.57, I came to England with full and disin-
terested testimonials as to the merits of my system, including
one from Lieutenant-General Eyre, who styled it something
" entirely new to me."
These were shown to a few men of high standing and horse
experience here, accompanied by the request that they would
come and witness the result of the process without charge,
and I immediately sent into the country for an unbroken colt,
in whose owner's hands I placed a sum of money equivalent
to its value to protect him against all risk.
It was not until the system had received the fullest test,
and I had spent some two or three months in showing its
effect to upwards of 100 gentlemen on subjects of every cha-
racter, that I offered my services to the public at a given
price.
I was content to stand or fall by their verdict, and if they
had not been unanimous in recommending the system all
chances of getting a class together must at once have fallen
to the ground.
The universal satisfaction expressed by my pupils eventu-
ally swelled their number to upwards of 2,009, including some
0f the first horsemen of the age.
As the appearance of my pamphlet has been to some a cause
of dissatisfaction, I wish to offer a short explanation in re-
gard to it. It was written by me about five years ago, but it
was never sold in America, and was only given to my pupils
/here on the strictest pledge of secrecy.
Under these circumstances I considered that I had a most
perfect right when I came to England to speak of my system
as something new, and to that statement I still adhere.
It was not until one of my pupils in America broke his
pledge of honour that my pamphlet appeared in this country.
In consequence of there being no international law of copy-
right a publisher immediately published it at 6d. per copy.
It is hardly necessary for me to say that in the proceeds of
that work I had no share or interest whatever. Owing to
the appearance of the pamphlet, some of my pupils consi-
dered themselves injured, from a belief that they could learn
as much from it without a teacher as with one ; while other
persons, after reading it, were so convinced to the contrary that
they joined my subscription at once. Having had such bad
faith kept towards me by an old pupil, I at once absolved my
English pupils from every promise of secrecy. In consequence
of this release another and a successful effort was made to get
gain out of my capital by the publication of an illustrated and
enlarged edition of the pamphlet, in which the author availed
himself of the observations which he had gleaned from having
had free admission to my lectures. Although he was the
secretary to my first subscription I was never consulted in
the matter, as, out of common courtesy, I ought to have been,
and did not receive one farthing from the profits. These facts
will, I trust, show to all reasonable minds that the patronage
I have received has been honestly and meritoriously won, and
that the complaint prevalent (according to "£lO 10s.") among
my pupils has arisen from the injustice which has been done
to me, and not from any wrong conduct on my part.
Your correspondent is unwilling to give me any credit for
the hundreds of dangerous horses that I have handled with
invariable success, but takes a sort of malicious pleasure in
attributing, all my reputation to Cruiser, and then destroying
it at one blow, because this once worst of savages does not,
under all circumstances, act with more than human intelli-
gence.
I have bad Cruiser under my charge for nearly 18 months,
and he has never once committed himself until Friday last.
I was not present at the time, but the following are the real
facts of the case.

The Suffolk savage Cretingham Hero had recently arrived,
and was put into a box in the same stable with King of Oude
and Cruiser. The groom of the latter, from a desire to show off
his horse to his new acquaintance, took him out of his box into
the riding school, and had made him carry his cap. After
shaking hands with him, he was proceeding to enforce upon
him the disagreeable request of lying down, when the horse,
who was worked up by the smell and challenges of the
others, seized and severely bit his arm, but did not kneel
upon him, or inflict any other injury, and at first the groom
believed that his shirt had only been torn. He was not
" attempting to insert into his mouth the heavy wooden gag"
(a mere exaggerated description of a wooden bit), which, in
fact, the horse hardly ever wears, except when he is dressed,
in order to try and make him utterly forget his old biting
habits.
I neither profess to have the power of controlling the jaws
of a savage 13y my system when not in his presence, nor to
crush the spirit of horses so completely that they will be
placed under such twofold aggravation. No one can regret
the circumstance more than I do, or feel more thankful that
deeper mischief did not ensue.
It is not my intention to answer any more attacks. lam
conscious of having acted towards my old pupils in simple
good faith, and the kindness I still continue to receive from
them makes me feel sure that " Ten Pound Ten's" opinions
are not a reflex of theirs.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,

Yesterday the Financial Statement of the Indian
Secretary was submitted, according to promise, to
the consideration of the House of Commons in
Committee—and it must be acknowledged at once
that the statement was in itself sufficiently melan-
choly, if not absolutely discouraging. It shews an
aggregate deficit in round numbers, for the current
year, of no less than £12,500,000 ! It reveals an
appallingly rapid increase in the total amount of
the debt of India during the two years of the Sepoy
mutiny among the Bengalese. An increase of such
frightful rapidity that whereas the Indian debt
reached £538,000 less than sixty millions at the
close of April, 1857, or exactly £59,462,000—that
debt had by the close of last April (1859) grown to
ithe monstrous sum of 181,580,000! Nor is this all
--for Sir CHARLES WOOD himself (though it was
obviously to his interest to make the best of the
matter in bringing forward his appeal for addi-
tianal assistance in the shape of a supplementary
loati) volunteered the intimation last night in the
house, while in committee, that before we have
done with the debt, it will in all human probability,
in the course of two or three years more, have
swollen beyond a gross aggregate of £100,000,000 !
Tha t debt, which we have seen was, little more
than two years ago (in 1857), less than £60,000,000
—will in a very little while longer—the Indian
Secretar) - himself thinks exceed £100,000,000 ,
Sormethinty (this) very like doubling the debt in
a single lustre ! Given five short years (three of
them ha.ve• already nearly elapsed), and the
Indian olebt. which in 1856-1857 was between
£50,000, 000 and £60,000,000 will in 1861-
1862 a xceed £100,000,000. That is really
the dna; acial situation of Hindostan in regard to

the immediate present, past and future, pre-
sented last evening to the Commons in Com-
mittee, and through the Commons in Committee
to the country at large, by the Indian Secre-
tary. Sir CHARLES WOOD was plain-spoken
enough in his statement. He did not blink
the matter in the least. He did not gloss
it over. He told the Commons and the country
quite frankly that in all likelihood they would have
other demands of a like kind put to them during the
next few sessions to make up a succesion of other
deficiencies. What he looked to, however, was
naturally enough the actual situation the cur-
rent deficiency. All Sir CHARLES WOOD aspires
to do now is just to make the two ends meet if
possible, or at the most to give himself the proba-
bility of a small surplus of £1,500,000 instead of hav-
ing a large deficiency of £12,500,000. The interest
he reminds us with cruel precision, the interest
upon the Indian debt in 1857 was
£2,525,000 whereas that interest was
swelled within the two years following, namely,
by the close of the financial year in April last, to
£3,564,000—0r just precisely £1,039,000 addi-
tional. According to the accepted estimate the
Indian expenditure for 1859-60 will be £64,131,000
—while the revenue is estimated at no more than
£3s,Bso,oo—showing a deficiency of a million and
a quarter, or, to give the exact amount, of just
£10,281,500. Adding to this a further charge of
£2,250,000 for railways in Hindostan—the
deficit reaches a monstrous aggregate of more than
twelve millions and a half ; or, to put the
figures point blank before the public, precisely
£12,531,500. That aggregate deficiency of
£12,531,500 is the immediate financial difficulty
before us in Hindostan—a difficulty we must get
over somehow. Already, towards meeting this
deficiency nearly £5,000,000 has been raised in
England by Lord STANLEY, and £2,000,000 more
in India itself. The remainder Sir CHARLES WOOD
now proposes to accumulate by completing the
loan begun to be raised by his immediate predecessor
—and by borrowing under his own regime £5,000,000
additional. This arrangement it is which he cal-
culates will leave him, at the close of next April,
with a small surplus in hand of £1,500,000.1, Other
difficulties will then follow in due course, which
we shall have to look to in their turn—but in the
mean time those immediately pressing upon us will
have been tided over satisfactorily. Darkly though
the financial future of India lowers thus before us,
it is at any rate satisfactory to bear in mind the
gross amount of the estimated debt of India, at
the termination of the present financial year—
£Bo,ooo,ooo--will scarcely be equivalent to three
years of the income of Hindostan. Whereas in the
instance of our own gigantic National Debt of
£Boo,ooo,ooo—a debt under which it was supposed
we should be crushed, but under which we are
actually flourishing !—that positively requires
some fourteen years of our revenue to make up the
monstrous equivalent ! The revenue of India, like
our own, is a growing revenue ; and, therefore,
judging by analogy, we have no rational cause for
excessive despondency.

Mr. ROEBUCK last evening, according to his in-
variable wont, came directly and resolutely to the
point. Whatever others may do, he at any rate
never beats about the bush. He sees clearly into it
from the first—and, keen of eye, steady of head, in
his way a dead shot, fires upon the game uner-
ringly. His mode of seconding Sir JOHN SHEL-
LEY'S amendment yesterday in the House of Com-
mons was after this fashion perfectly characteristic.
The hon. and learned gentleman did not care to
mince the matter the least bit in the world. He
put the enormity actually before the house in all
its glaring and unmistakeable enormity. Re-
ferr:ng to Vie results already accumulated
in the shape of the reports of various election
committees just as we ourselves have re-
ferred to them in these columns, yesterday, for
example, and on Saturday—Mr. ROEBUCK re-
minded the house of the malignant rumours of
bribery not so very long since proclaimed to the
prejudice of the leaders of the present Opposition !
And having called up this pleasant memory the
hon. member for Sheffield, in a few truthful and
pungent words, showed how the tables had been
effectually turned upon the successors of the late
Ministry by the reports already delivered by
various Election Committees. " Some time ago,"
said Mr. ROEBUCK, " the public was warned that
great corruption had been practised by gen-
tlemen sitting on these (the Opposition) benches ;
but I am sorry to say that, by discoveries re•
cently made, it has been found that corruption
has taken place on that (the Ministerial)
side of the house ; and the remarkable feature of
the case is, that noble lords and right hon. gentle-
men are sitting on the benches opposite in conse-
quence ; for I believe that pretty nearly the whole
number of their majority have been disfranchised
since inquiries have been instituted, and that they
have been disfranchised because of bribery. Why,
sir," continued the member for Sheffield, " the
whole country was startled, the isle was frighted
from its propriety,' by the statement which was
made by the virtuous gentlemen opposite. It was
said that a noble lord and right hon. gentleman
had subscribed, combined, and conspired for the
purpose of bringing a majority into Parlia-
ment. Upon which side," asked Mr. ROEBUCK
scornfully last evening, " Upon which side
does the imputation rest now ?" Mr. ROEBUCK'S
views upon this point, as upon many others,
are as nearly as possible identical with our own.
What he said last evening, so very admirably, in
the House of Commons, we wrote as plainly as
printed words could put it in our columns yester-
day. What Mr. ROEBUCK said afterwards, in re-
ference to what we may term the exceeding
amenity of committees, we must confess, appears
to us only most reasonable. " I say," he observed,
" that our committees are too cautious by half "
adding, by way of explanation as to his precise
meaning—" When they discover that £3,000 or
£4,000 has been spent in order to seat a gentleman
in this house, I think they would be quite safe in
assuming that it is by the direction of that hon.
gentleman himself. (Cheers, oh, oh, and no.) No!
Is there anybody of such a soft disposition, with so
soft a head and so tender a heart, as to fancy that
there is a man in existence so wild in his charity as
to give £2,000 or £3,000 in order to seat a gentle-
man, that gentleman knowing nothing about
it ?" The gentleman, of course, was dream-
ing in Utopia who raised that hysteri-
cal cry of " No"—but Mr. ROEBUCK Was
there, in the middle of 1359, talking plain English
from the floor of the House of Commons. " Why
the statements which have been made within the
last few days before Committees of this House,"
said the hon. and learned gentleman, in tones of
,s,-earrye
ereasonable a
ha
ond ek comprehensible
the in
countrydi gn a t i o
an
t,
the conduct of a party which calls itself Liberal, and
a great number of whom I recollect in the year 1830
raising a great outcry against the corruption of the
ancient Parliament. Why. sir, there was nothinc,
ever done in the ancient Parliaments worse than
has been done in this. I do say, then, that it
behoves this House to take into its most serious
consideration how it can by any possibility stop

this evil, 'and I entreat hon. gentlemen who are
sitting on our committees to have the courage to
be honest, and not to add base hypocrisy to the
horrible corruption which now prevails. I
repeat, sir, that it is base hypocrisy for any one
to say he can believe that a man is seated at
an expense of £6,000 or £7,000 without knowing
that such money has been given for the
purpose." Really, if this is not just plain, blunt
common sense—we don't know what is. It was
too much, however, entirely for the sensitive nerves
of Mr. BOUVERIE. It partook, altogether too pain-
fully for him, of the coarse impropriety of " calling
a spade a spade." We rather think, however, that
JOHN BULL likes above all things that honest kind
of talk—the telling of home truths (however pain-
ful) in our mother-tongue.

A few weeks back, after having investigated,
on the spot, the facts and rumours of the case, we
asked, " What shall be done with Norwich ?"
And by this time the question has received an
answer, so far as the members are concerned. The
suggestions of some of our contemporaries as to the
singular coincidence of the Berwick and Sandwich
petitions being withdrawn together, induced us to
make also careful inquiries into the electoral proceed-
ings of the former borough, and we may now cer-
tainly, with nearly equal propriety, ask—What
shall be done with Berwick?

We may acknowledge that the evidence furnished
us is not on oath, but it has been obtained in a
manner which satisfies us that we have not been
wilfully deceived in the least matters, and most
of them are subjects of notoriety in the town
itself, and facts, which, unless they should involve
legal consequences, neither side would much care to
deny. It seems Berwick is a very old offender.
The results of all our inquiries harmonise with the
statement of DOD, that though once " considered a
Government borough, for a considerable time
afterwards, money was considered all•powerful."
The process, we are told, has been this :—Ever
since the Reform of 1832, up to, and including the
election of 1852, as soon as an election was in
prospect a canvass was commenced, and all parties
went to work in earnest. " Runners " went in
every direction, with ready cash in their hands,
not, however, the full amount which was to flow
forth ultimately, but sufficient to give small sums
as earnests, or retaining fees, to the voter. About
the day of the poll, generally, the sum finally
agreed on was paid. Not always, however, did the
hopeful voter obtain it. The " runners " frequently
seemed to think that he who ran ought also to
win, and, secure from legal exposure, pocketed the
cash themselves. At first occasionally large sums,
enough to tempt any " runner," were given. One
family we heard of who, in the election of 1837,
received £l5O amongst three of them. Since then,
votes have been cheaper; £5 or £lO have been
much more common " prices for the article," as our
informant told us. That is up to 1852.
In that year occurred a scrutiny, and the two
Liberal members therefore lost their seats for bri-
bing and treating; the election following this—as in
the case of the recent one at Norwich, where the
pending petitions were the cause of the virtue—
was a pure election. The recent tragedy, as
ARISTOTLE might have said, purified the hearts of
the electors by pity and terror. We come now to
the elections of 1857 and 1859. In the former year
three Liberals and one Tory contested the borough.
Two Liberals were nevertheless returned ; the
lesson of 1852 seems to have been remembered, and
from all we can ascertain, little or no money was
spent in bribery that year, not enough certainly to
affect the election.

This year, on the Tory side at least, the old tac-
tics was resumed. A mighty change, from some
cause, certainly came o'er the spirit of the borough.
In 1857 though the Liberal votes were split among
three Liberal candidates, yet two of them were re-
turned. In 1859 the highest Tory was 109 votes above
STAPLETON, the Liberal, who headed the poll in 1857.
It would seem that the Liberals who had been the
sufferers by the scrutiny in 1852 had not yet re-
•overed their courage, while their opponents, not
having smarted themselves on that occasion, and
seeing no other means of carrying the election de-
termined to run all hazards.

Berwick appears to have a considerable majority
on the Liberal side, among the masters, and the
non .electors ; nine-tenths of the people, it is said,
are Liberals ; but the workmen, who are voters in
considerable numbers, and the humbler class of
electors, consider money the soul of patriotism, and
their votes are determined solely by the offers of the
best bidder. This is hardly concealed. The mas-
ters rarely, if ever, attempt to put the screw on
their workmen ; the latter resist it as a body, hold-
ing it as much their right to make the best of their
vote as to make the best of their labour. A house
was open long before the election, now known as
"The Gull Hole," where money was duly paid to
all who desired it, and here every purchaseable in-
dividual was secured. The windows of the huuse
were afterwards smashed, and the house entered by
the angry and disappointed populace, and but for
the persuasion of the Mayor the place would
doubtless have been gutted. Another elector, who
had sold his vote, found his ploughs thrown down
a coal-pit near at hand, and was told to "go and
plough there, as he would there be warm .9,
The bribery, open and determined, however, was
not permitted to escape quite unpunished even at the
time. Lynch law was resorted to. The non-elec-
tors, for whom Lord JOHN RUSSELL holds the elec-
tors to be trustees, thought their trustees did not
do their duty, and the Court of Equity not being
open to them, they constituted themselves into a
Court of Chancery,with the small difference that not
being able to enforce performance of the specific
duty, they fused lynch law and equity, and inflicted
damages in the shape of broken windows, and in one
case by broken porter bottles ; while so great was
the intimidation that no one dared to give evi-
dence against the offenders. But Lord JOHN must
Plot suppose that his cestui que trusts acted quite
recklessly, they gave their trustees due notice.
When the bribery became notorious, and electors
who had formerly voted for Liberals, were openly
saying that if the Liberals did not " come out',
they would vote for the Tories—the non-electors
convened a public meeting, and formed a com-
mittee to watch the proceedings of their trustees.
Resolutions were passed at the meeting condem-
natory of Tory principles, and calling on the elec-
tors to do their duty, and on the people to watch
the polling booths.

They did not, however, stop here. They resorted
to such intimidation as non-electors could practise.
Publicans were threatened that if they voted
wrong their houses should be deserted ; other
tradesmen that they should lose their custom ; if
they dared to vote for the Tories. Such was the
fear inspired by the attitude of the people, that
many who had sold both votes to the Tories were
glad to compromise by giving one to the Liberals ;
many have repented ever since, for their pocket's
sake, that they took the Tory gold, and operative
electors who did so had a wretched life of it after-
wards at the hands of their fellow-operatives.
On the other hand, there were probably many who
would have preferred to vote for the Tories, but
were prevented from doing it by the intimidation

of the non-electors. We would put it to Lord
JOHN RUSSELL whether he approves the conduct of
the non-electors of Berwick. If he does not, as we
presume he cannot, we ask him what other means
are left them of making their trustees sensible of
their responsibility. If the non-electors' public
meeting and committee were not strong enough to
resist the " Gull Hole" doings, what could they do
but meet the bribery or gold by the bribery of inti-
midation. We find that at Berwick persons
generally acknowledge that the I. allot and the
ballot only would put an end to the conduct which
disgraces all sides.
The upshot of the whole we understand to be
that the Tories are to give up one man by his ac-
cepting the Chiltern Hundreds, and that Mr.
MARJORIBANKS is to be returned unopposed,
though some of the electors resent the compromise
and threaten a contest. The circumstance which
has, it is said, decided the Tories to accept a com-
promise, is that about 200 of their voters received
some months back £2 each for voting for the Tory
candidate in 1857, and counsel has advised them
that these votes must be held bad ! Berwick is one
of numerous boroughs, which, though not exposed
by election committees, prove the necessity for the
ballot even more than many whose delinquencies
are published all over the kingdom.

LATEST NEWS.

Mr. Reuter's office :

BERNE, AUG. 30.

Count Rechberg, the Austrian Foreign Minister,
has officially announced to the Federal Council
that the Governments of France and Austria have
chosen the town of Zurich to open a Conference on
the treaty of peace.

Tho Piedmontese Gazette publishes the decree
relative to the erection, at the expense of the State,
of a monument at Solferino, which will be a me-
morial of the victories of the allied armies and a
lasting testimony to the gratitude of the Italians
to the French army commanded by the Emperor
Napoleon 111., who so heroically imperilled him-
self for the cause of Italian independence in the
memorable battle of the 24th of June.

ANOTHER PROCLAMATION OF GARI-
B ALDI.

General Garibaldi has addressed to his soldiers
in Central Italy the following proclamation :
" Italians of the Centre,—lt is only a few months
since we said to the Lombards, ' Your brothers of
all the provinces have sworn to conquer and to die
with us,' and the Austrians know whether we have
kept our word.
" To-morrow we shall say to you what we
said then to the Lombards, and the noble
cause of your country will find you drawn up
on the field of battle, eager as we have
been latterly, and with the imposing aspect of men
who have done and will do their duty.
" Returned to your homes, forget not, amidst the
embraces of those who are dear to you, the grati-
tude which you owe to Napoleon and to the heroin
French nation, whose brave sons, wounded and
mutilated, still suffer on the bed of pain for the
cause of Italy.

" Above all, forget not that whatever may be the
intentions of European diplomacy as regards our
destinies, we ought not to detach ourselves from
the sacred programme, Italy and Victor Em-
manuel.'

Paris :

" Sire,—On the day of the departure of your
Majesty the population of all France, joining in the
idea and the resolutions of the Emperor, offered to
him in a warm ovation its arms and treasures to
carry on the war. It promised to watch like a
mother over the sacred deposit entrusted to it.
"Each step of our armies, each name illustrated
by your rapid victories, has been hailed with pride.
It has poured out its thanksgivings at the altar to
thank the hand of Providence for preserving your
life.

The Civic Council of Paris is glad to testify
publicly its devotion to your Majesty's dynasty,
and its gratitude for that genius which has thrown
such new splendour upon it.
" In your absence, sire, while her Majesty the
Empress bore with so much devotion and firmness
tho burden of public business, the population, on
its part, as if warmed by a generous instinct, un-
derstood that to maintain order on the banks of the
Seine was also to participate in the victories which
your Majesty was gaining on the banks of the
Mincio.

" When the Emperor, in his moderation, fixing
the limits of his success, put a check upon the
ardour of his eager army and navy, the city of
Paris felt happy at a peace concludod by the
wisdom of the statesman, and it blessed that mode-
ration which, in stopping the effusion of blood, gua-
ranteed the rights of oppressed Italy without let-
ting loose revolution.
Sire, the patriotic acclamations of an immense
city in the presence of your invincible soldiers—its
earnest prayers to God, who guides yotr, will soon
resound on a solemn occasion, and proclaim that
the nation, proud of its Emperor, admires you and
loves you for this new glory added to our flag, for
this firmness which no danger disturbs, for this
calmness which dominates even the exultation of
triumph, for those blessings of peace so promptly
recovered; finally, for the noble attitude France
assumes towards Europe."
