Tits matter cannot be allowed to rest here.: it mast be theroughly sifted; bat with the no-ovidence se yet patent to the public, it would be folly sad iejastiee to decide in thew of either party. Bat whatever may be the meek of Out inquiry that is now obviously inevitable, it is not easy to au how Sir CHABLIS Wiris an exculpate hiroseU from the charges of neglecting his duty, of imprudently asiag language in public calculated to excite insabardiesnos, and of ermaton cruelty. If the coadacit of the dither at Chtllianwallah was such se to jest* the addremed by Sir CithaLas to the 14th be t, as commander-in-chief to have brought the colossi to a trial. If tits iisoiplias of the 14th was so lax, and the conduct of the O.OSES so oppressive as they mast have been to justify his pro«tidier in the eau of Maur, he ought to have instituted ma inquiry with a view to .puitish offenders and remodel tits regiment. But having dose wither the one nor the ether he had no right to hold the ktagasge midget he has systematically and relentlessly held. There can be little doubt left, we should think, in the mind of any man who has read what baa transpired respecting this melancholy affair that it was the language and conduct of Sir CniatLes Rum that drove Colonel Biro to commit suicide. The language held by Sir CHARM to the 14th, in hie speech to them at Lahore,' was as great and cruel an insult to the commanding Aker as Cu mu could offer to another. By granting .a free pardon to binur, and ordering him to rejoin his troop after that person had publicly addreased Colonel o almost in Sir CtLearne's own language, the commander-in-Chief after an interval of months, deliberatel repeated, by hie actions, the insult to which he had formerly given utterance in words. Such systematic perseriatim was sufficient to unhinge the mind of any man subjected to it. And persecution it must be called, inasmuch as Sir CHARM:, by not bringing a formal charge against Colonel LEO, moat be held to admit that the evidence upon which be based his' imputations could not stand the scrutiny of a triaL Again, Sir Climates cannot but be aware that telling men publicly that they were lying under an auseeited idea in consequence of their being badly Aisne& was metals to stir up insubordinate and essithese in their breasts. He first prompted the ropes& k was addressed by M.Lr.em to his commenting Aber, and than justified the man's insubordination by granting him a free pardon, and ordering him to rejoin his troop.! Lastly, if Sir CHARLES really believes the allege, time upon which he ordered MsLux to rejoin his troop unpainted, he ought, without losing a moment's time, to have adopted measures for reorpaleing the regiment. If what he has alleged was true, a mutiny might be provoked at any moment by the aims who first tempted men to commit offences, then allowed them opportunities to commit them, and lastly pushes& ilia for Use offences for what properly they themselves aught to have been held responsible. It la impossible he eonjecture how the officers could have pour wed thenpline, after a man, guilty of such an ontrageone met of insubordination as that of *Leer, was replotted in the ranks unpunished, and themselves stigmatised in the way they are in Sir CHausts remark. It will not do to say that the officers 'said dammed a trial : no man can be called upon to Drove his innocence is the first place; it is the dutj of the amen to substantiate his charge. We cordially admit the eminently soldierly qualities which Sir GIiARLIS NAPIRR has over and over again displayed is the field of battle. We do all honour to the segeoity of many of the remarks which be bum pabibbed on military affairs in general. We eves scores that we have enjoyed the quint and 'totems forms in which it phases him to present his aritialsme. Bat in the midst of our enjoyment, we have been somplisil to question the judgment of the attempt to bleed the character of an humourist with that of a military reformer—of that ambition which aspired to compile a " Ctenio " code of military rerulauons. And when we see, in the suicide of Colonel BING, the melancholy et= to which Sir CHARLES is disposed to push his and acted witticisms, we begin to fear that the ve soldier and shrewd observer is deficient in that sense of justice which prompts a dais regard for the rights of others, and that sympathy for his kind without which no man can be good or really great. When the self-will of a sarcastic wit and sharp critic, intoxicated by • secomfal career, breaks the hearts and spirits of men, and sedangers the discipline of an army, it is time that some check ware imposed upon it.  teeming the death ef the **king.
