TO THE EDITOR OF' THE STAR.
Sea--I read with much satisfaction • letter addressed to you, and
published In your paper of the 24th oh. relative to the old Lieu-
tenant lately promoted to the unattached rank of Captain,
,with
only five shillings per diem. The observations therein contained'
are just, and calculated, I hope, to attain the object the writer has
in view. I shall refrain irons. adding any remarks of my own, as I
feel convinced that the long and faithfuLverarices of these old Ofbcers
will be further taken into consideration by the great Commander
who (snow st the bead of the Army, and that the inadequacy Of
the means of existence left them, will be fully imderstood and
speedily removed. Having myself been upwards of twenty years
in the service, a great portion of which was spent as a Subaltern In
India, in the active duties of my profession, I can more easily
judge of the hardships of their CAP& But as I have said just now,
entertain every hope that his Glare, with the good feelings that
are long known to have belonged to him, will never leave neg-
lected those whose case be may think deserving attention, and.
am More fully impressed with this conviction, from smartie" I'
have this moment seen in a Sunday paper, by which it appears that
his Grace has already turned bis thought. towards the Improvement
of their condition. The plan supposed to be in contemplation, Is
the employment of • the bee Mulling Captains on the Recruiting
Service, as Subdivision Officers. This measure would in no way
add to the public Zxpenditure, and thus would the Subalterns now
employed on that duty, become .ffeetive with their Regiments.
which is desirable from the limited number of Subalterns attached
to the Depot Cumpantee.—Should this arrangement take place, the
reward will be commensurate to their service,. '
I have the honour to he, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
AN OLD RECRUITING OFFICER.
