Mr. Cridland. This gentleman, who has for so many years been connected with the British Consulate in this city, and whose official intercourse here was always so circumspect and courteous, was named by Earl Russell, in the House of Lords, on the 5th of April, as one of those Consuls whose conduct had been obnoxious to the Confederate Government, and Earl R, mentioned as one of the offences that he or others had committed, the advising of British subjects "not to resist their enlistment in but to desert their colors in the moment of action." The tenor of this speech of Earl Russell was published in our paper of the 4th inst. No one who knows Mr. C. could suppose him guilty of such a piece of folly as this. We are satisfied that he never gave such advice. Mr. Benjamin, in his letter to Mr. Fullerton, dated October 8th, 1863, mentions the names of those who gave the advice to desert, and Mr. Cridland's is not among them. We are assured that he is entirely clear of the offence.
