power. 'The position of the cabinet became more difficult
in consequence of the rosignation of the right hon. mem-

recomme ded by the right hon member for Wells, and other
hon. met> bers, that the Government should take back thebill

themseWes in a false position, and compromising themselves
personally. It is most unfair that any attempt should be

LIEUTENANT ET ELYN WOOD AND
THE 'ORDER OF VALOUR. ,

The case of this officer, who behaved so as greatly
to distinguish himself as a midshipman during the
Russian war, and who, having transferred his
services from the naval to the military profession,
has acquitted himself with -equal honour in the
suppression of the Indian mutinies, has been a:
brought under our notice. In General Michel'a-:
despatch from Allahabad, dated Oct. 22, 1858, we
find specially mentioned "the gallantry of Lieut.
Wood, of the 17th Lancers, who (having from
paucity of officers in the 3d Cavalry, volunteered. ,s
during the campaign to command a troop of the 3d
Light Cavalry) on this occasion (a severe engage-
ment with a large force of mutineers) almost single.
handed came up to and attacked a body of the
enemy." Going back to the eventful days of the
Crimean campaign, we read, in the annals of the
heroic Naval Brigade more than one tale of bravery
in which this young officer's name is conspicuous. (
On the 17th of Oct.,lBs4—just four years previous
to his display of valour in India—he'velunteeredp:'''
with Mr. Daniels to bring powder from the rear,
under heavy fire. On the 18th, a shell having
burst in the covering of a parapet magazine, he in-
stantly jumped upon it, and alone busied himself in_
clearing and repairing it under a heavy fire, till
joined by Captain Peel, for which he received the
thanks of that officer. On the 19th of April, hi
the following year, he was noticed by Admiral
Lushington, standing on a parapet, repairing a ~,
deep gap made by the enemy's fire, which was'`
so heavy that it daunted the Sappers whose pro-
per work it should have been. Again, on the 18th
of June, rising from a sick bed, he volunteered to •-1
join the ladder party ; and, though wounded in the
_.;
hand, he assisted to carry the ladders up to the
Redan, and was the only naval officer who advanced
as far as the abattis. These noble acts arc well cer-
tified in letters from Lord Raglan, Sir Stephen
Lushington, and Captain Peel. The first of these
distinguished men writes a few words of admiring
smypathy on the occasion of Lieut. Wood's receiv-
ing a severe wound. The second writes to Captain
Michell, R.N.:--" I saw him (Wood) in the trenches,
and he bore it like a hero. He was Peel's
and Peel tried to keep the bey from the murde-
rous fire into which they plunged with the scaling
ladders, but he would take no Nefusal, and went out
with the rest." And in writing to Mr. Wood him-
self, Sir Stephen says :—" You have none to thank
for the Legion of Honour but your own gallant
conduct from the first to the last crowning act,
when you walked up from the Redan, with a huge
grape shot sticking in your arm, which I took at
first for the bone protruding." Captain Peel praises
the young man's " beautiful courage in battery,"
and adds that "conduct and manners are as exem-
plary as his courage." In his memorable speech at
the Mansion-house, Lord Lyons dcclare'l that no
brighter instance of devotion was contained in the
pages of chivalry than the conduct of Captain Peel
and his aides-de-camp, among whom Mr. Wood
came in for special notice. We have been somewhat
circumstantial in recalling the services oflllr. Henry
E. Wood, because we learn that, on the most incon-
ceivably absurd ground, he has been refused the dis-
tinction of the Victoria Cross or Order of Valour. It
appears that his name had been down for some
months ; but because he left the navy and sought
other ways of winning renown in the cause of his
in g country
that ththee geniusy
oun go f routinehero
sh has
shall
in
terposed,

de ela
and
unhonoured. Lieutenant Wood, who is a son of
John Page Wood, Bart.,has memorialised the First
Lord of the Admiralty, respectfully appealing for
justice. The fresh publicity we have given to his
case may, and we sincerely hope will, be of help in
procuring him what he has so good a title to de-
mand.—. Daily News.
