FROM TILE BRITISH PRESS.

Upon the indiscretion of the Ministers of the Crown in isetii '
commands which were known to be distasteful to the greatly*
of the people, and must, thereto*. have necessarily led tog.
*ls and the shedding of human blood, we have already expreol
our decided sentiments ; but we must conCess th.it we
unfair and cruel in the extreme to censure the troops VA10742
employed by the Governr.::nt upon that occasion to ennet
their unwise commands, or u. attribute to them the r.:rrirl
of whatever accidents tnirbt wise from their heir g ylaced'atal
lision with the people. We are firmly persuaded that trod
in the world could, under the painful circumstances dna mid
the day of the Queen's funeral, have displayed gn..itt r forbcr.
ante, temper, or humanity, than was evinced by the Life Guari.
It is quite evident to common sense, that had they used at
means of attack which they had in their power, with all the
effect that necessarily belongs to the use of them, the toe*
quences to the people must have been tremendously desunan
There were, however, in fact, but few casualties among
crowd, while, on the part of the soldiers, the accidents wen
very numerous. A soldier is often placed in very painful ad
difficult circumstances, in which he is entitled to a large portal
of indulgence. The soldier must be considered merely as du
instrument of another's will, and if, when acting under thel

commands of his Officer, or in a supposed obedience to the eivll
power of the Government, he should not nicely calculate the
precise operation of a penal law, his involuntary crime ought
not to be visited with a disproportionate severity. Not upon
the soldier, therefore, ought the censure of the Public or the
penalty of the offended laws to fall, but upon the real triads*.
by whose authority his actions have been governed.

Day nv-LA E.—Not with standing the unfavourable
state of the weather last evening, the House was
filled in every part. In the dress circle were mas
fashionable and elegantly-dressed females, among
whom were Lady POLE, Lady FRAZER, &C.
The attractions of the coronation continue undi

customed eclat.

night at this Theatre, when Mrs. BRUDENELL,
Lady who made her debut last week in the parts
Bclvidera, having in a great measure subdued tls
timidity attendant upon a first appearance in so IP
duous a character, confirmed the impression rhich
her earlier exertions had made upon the favorable
opinion of the audience, by a fuller developew t of
her powers, and the exercise of a more steady reliance
upon her own judgment. The applause which re.
warded her efforts was marked, warm, and judicim%
