INDIGNATION AGAINST EYRE-Tt Is
quite natural that there should be the
strnngest possible feeling in America at The
conduct Of The Captain Of the Bombay, but
| think can safely assure you that the feel
ing here is almost if not quite as strong.
The only difference can perceive is a dis
position to wait until all the facts 10 the case
can be known. If it is proved that that
officer actually turned his back upon the
Oneida, knowing her condition, it would
not be safe for him ever again to show his
head in England; and even now the myste
rious sentence Of the tribunal before which
the case was examined causes the greatest
establishments II captain Eyre was not
guilty he ought not tn have been punished
at all; hut if guilty, he could hot have been
guilty in part, and the su>pension of his
certificate for six months is about the must
mad quate and ridiculous punishment ever
