To his : amazementi Colonel Griffiths threw himself back oii his librae and said to Mm , ' You axe not speaking , to . me like a gentleman / or ' treating me like , a gentleman , ' he did not remember which . He told him to be quiet , or he would place him nnder arrest . He ( Colonel Griffiths ) proceeded to say , that ? he was only saying what one gentleman might say to another , ' when he desired him to hold his tongue and join his picket . He had now gi ven the court the whole of his present recollection of this incident , and he his asan and

      declared ^ upon honour officer a gentleman , that he had , without-the slightest reserve or qualification , stated the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth . If the court thought , as they must do , that this . recital differed materially from that given by Colonel Griffiths , he asked them to weigh both , and consider which was the most probable . Did theygeneral officers of experience—think it likely , that , immediately after a familiar conversation with an officer on a matter so trifling as his coat , he would threaten that officer with immediate . arrest when he only suggested a matter connected with the welfare , of .-bia regiment ?

      ' Lord .-.

      was thankful for this admission , which entirely bore out his statement , and he thought he might now assume that the Report was . the joint production of Lord Panmure and the two Commssioners . The Lord-Advooate did not think such an assumption justified : by the evidence . Lord Lucan would not ask the Board to adopt the opinion which he held on the subject ; but ,, for . _ himself , he still : maintained iti and * : , under , ' all the" cirenmstan ces , he ' thought the Report was not worth the paper it was printed on .

If that , fee the case , what is to be thought , when soldiers like myself find themselves the . objects of obloquy and animadversion , and , instead of . being thought deserving of their country for their devotion , are 4 o he ; placed on their trial to defend their professional characters ?" f The Board then adjourned to Tuesday . . : ¦¦ " :..

      tX > Bl > CA&DtGXH ' a CASE . » On that day , the case of Lord Cardigan Same on . His Lordship commenced by referring to the ^ Btateietfent in ihe Commissioners- ' RepoTt that ; when ti ^ siipj > Fjr 6 f forage began to fail , Deputy-Commissary-Geaertr'CfifookliBanlts proposed that a detaehrefent ^ otrtKSh'brsesBhduldbeallowea H « g »< iowrt ^ aify to BaJaklava , where there wai plenty r « f ; baiilriy , byLwiicfc meaits he wouliengage to bring np enough ; and thai this -proposalseems to have come under the notice of Lord Cardigan , but that he declined to do anythihgt -In answer to this , Lord Cardigan contended that a careful consideration of the' evidence given on the subject before the Committee of the House of

      Commons ( Mr . Roebuck ' s ) would show , that * in not adopting . the suggestion , he exercised a sound and wise diacretioni with ^ a view to maintaining his brigade , as far as possible , in a situation to discharge its various duties . General Canrobert had pointed out to him the importance of the position of his brigade at Inkerman , in case of an attack from the Russians ; and Lord Raglan subsequently said that he was pr ivately bound to the French to maintain the Light Cavalry at that place . Lord Cardigan then referred to certain remonstrances addressed by him to Lord Raglan and Lord Lucan against the continued stay of his horses on the heights * of Inkerman , where they were subjected to great sufferings ,

      which remonstrances resulted in his obtaining permission to remove a considerable portion of his horses to Kadikoi . After the storm of November 14 th , 1854 , there was a great deficiency of hay , and he was often unable to get more than five pounds , and never more than eleven or twelve pounds , at a time for each horse . It was for military reasons that the horses were subjected to so much suffering from exposure , and the extent of that suffering was described to the Committee by Lord Lucan , Sir Charles Trevelyan , Sir De Lacy Evans , and others , in . forcible teftn £ With ' regard to the sugjestion tb \ " 4 t th $ " cavalry ! hotses should be despatch e d to Balaklaya for . forage ^ t $ e issttW feetween hiniself and the ^ ffic ^ rs , wh p "hid jEajen , evidence' on , the point was ^ compaw . tively slight . .

      THE SAPILEIR FORGERIES . I ? resh discoveries 1 in cotthSxioh with the crimes of tie late John Sadleir stUI continue to be made ; ' ¦ The BtAEn -Pti& ~ says ! that' it' ' is now ascertained that the Rdy"U Swedish Railway Company alone has ¦ suffered to ' tie extent of nearly 350 , 0007 . The same " paper asser ts that some initiatory proceedings ^ "haVe ~ been' taken ' 'fin behalf of the Crown , in the court of th « Arcbbl 3 h 6 ^ <) f Canterbury , with a " view to the appointtnentof a person to takeout administration in the affairs of John Sadlefr . In the ! Leinster Express we read : — - ' " Some recent proceedings in one of the English' law courts have called prominent attention to Mr . Sadleir ' s connexion with the London and County Bank ; and from other circumstances it is tolerably certain that Mr . Sadleir made up his liabilities to that establishment at the expense of the

      Irish concern . His position as chairman of the two companies at one and the same time has raised the point as to whether the London and County Bank cannot be compelled to disgorge certain securities which it became possessed of at . the eleventh hour , and which were ostensibly purchased for the Tipperary Bank , and with its cash . This and the relation of the Bank of Ireland ( 0 the Tipperary Bank may form supplemental work for the official manager . - Notwithstanding some contradictions that have been made , we deliberately repeat that the Bank of Ireland was much more intimately concerned with the defunct company than the public have been since led to believe . "

      " The case of ' The Earl of Kingston v . Sadleir , Eyre , and Others , '" says the Times Dublin Correspondent , " came' on JFriday week before one . of the Masters in Chancery , when counsel on behalf of the defertdant Eyre Applied for liberty to file a new " charge © a foot of bis demand ,, and , if necessary , * charge ae : between binrtsttff and J . Sadleir , or the official manager representing tfce Tipperary J ^ inJ > Sto « k . Bank , and that . he ( the defendant Ey « f ) might 1 » at libertgrTtotaKesuch proceedings as , be might be advised , to sustain bis demandiin the $ taot « xa ' office on Iiis own ; behalf and independent of Mr . James Sadleir , the public officer of . the ; said , bank , or of the official manager . The bill was filed 1 against the defendants Sadleir and Eyre , as mortgagees 4 n . possession , and a decree to account obtained ^ . , A joint , < chaMre , yras

      filed by the defendants , in which they claim , the bawuce of a sum of 108 , 000 * . as bejhg due to ) them . as mortgagees . Counsel for Lord Kingston contended that it wm no concern of his client in what , posi ^ on Mr . Sadleir and Mr . Eyre stood with reference to each other' or . to . the Tipperary Bank . A discharge , had , h » j « u ., already filed by them , jointly , and its vojumjnous nature ., might bo gathered from the fact that itj . cost ^ jtto j ^ sa than 70 i . to take out a copy of it . , On , th . e texms , hpw « , v , or , that $ hat suit should not be delayed , nor Lord Kingston involved that
