CAMBRIDGE COUNTY ADDIUSS.

TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT 14LUESTY.

We, the undersigned Noblemen, Gentlemen, Clergy, and
Freeholders of the County of CambridgY, and Isle of Ely, bog
leave to express to your Majesty out renewed tt. ntionents of
unalterable attachment to your Majesty's Pers'on, and deivot7
ofness to the 'principles of that glorious Cdtistitntion, upon a
steady and undaunted adherence to which we are firmly con-
vinced, must depend the. contionanee of those blessings,
which we, underPivine'ProVidente, have so long enjoYed.

We repel 'with ihdignatiOn the charge so often and so in-
juriously made of gratnitouiri extolling our own loyalty at
tb'e e!rpence Of oar fello'* 'subjects; and in this spirit we
should nut perhaps 'even now have thougirt ourselves callett
upon to make this public declaration of it, did we not perceive
incetsant entleathths to give some shape rind consisteacy to
opinion§ which, howevo they may he disguised, have for their
,object tut'h 'changes in the existing institutions of the Coun-
try, as Would, we believe, materially endanger that venerable
fabric of our Clonstirut ion, whit!), as it has been bequeatbrd
to us by our ancestors, in all its strength and su
are we anxious to tran,mit it unimpaired to our latest posterity.
Honest difference of opinion on great political questious,wc,
who stand forward as the chaMpions of our literiies, cvnnot
be supposed to condemn ; it is only when we see such con-
troversy used as a pretext for weakening in the mods of your
Majeity's subjects, those roincipleS of loyalty, for which they
have been su eminently distinguisloil, that we think it our
bounden duty to come forward ; an I whilst see rescue onr-

selves froni the galling •imputatiml of silently a-cqiiicscing in

the means, thus insi.dinusly used,-to open, as far a, in us lies,
the eyes of our ';ellow-subjects to the dangers which I icy are,
we concleiveninatlvertentiy preparing for themselves' and their

country,

We ftreently 'hope that the time is not far distant, when

tour Majesty may enjoy the satisfaction of receiving, from
frte, happy, and united penple, the 'respectful homage of un-

thalien loyalty.

SIDNIOI.I'rIL, JAN. 30.—An instanee of -most
brutal cruelly was. -witnessed' at this plact, la &:;t
week :-7•A young man',, about 1.9 years of age, a
student at the Royal Military College, at Sand-
hurst, after riding his horse on the bettelt, or-
dered this . groom :to take it into the dun4.conrt
Of the York Hotel. stables. The groom soon dis-
covered his intention was to dcstroy the animal,
and petitioned in vain that it might be spared.
The young man fired a'small pistol at it, and the
bullet entered
,jest under the eve.. The poor
creature. flew out of the hands of the groomomd
dashed itself 'against a ; as it went MT ano-
ther pistol was fired at its hind parts., lie then
.had it caught, and 'brought up to him, in order
that be. might again tire.—The wretched state
or the poor animal beggars description ; it had a
wound under its eye where the first shot entered,
the eye partly destroyed, and blood and water
running .profusely down its face, whilst every
part of its frame trembled with agony; it was thus
kept whilst the young man aent his brother, a
hid of about 11 or 12 years of age,• to cast fresh
bullets: A. quarter of an hOur elapsed before the
,bullets were brought, and the poor creature ;was
twice more" fired at by its inhuman master. The
repeated discharge oT pistols brought several pet -
sons into the yard, who. at length sent for proper
people to put the suffering animal out of misety,
but this was not effected till it had been kept. in
a most mangled and pitiable state three quarters
of an hour from the first shot. ThOse
nessed this savage conduct loaded . the young
wretch with reproaches,- but drew from • him .no
expreSsion of feeling or sorrow. , Many of tb •
inhabitants determined • to institute a criminal
prosecution against him, and were about to opeii
a subscription for the pmpose, when they Aver..
informed, to their surprise and sorrow, that there
is no law to punish acts of this description, how-
ever barbarous and cruel.
