" The Militia" question was raised again is the Howe of Commons last night, and the country must at once be prepared to pronounce its will upon this subject. Are we to have a conscription in Eng land again or not P That is the question. When Sir FRANCIS Hr.sopublished his work on the defenceless state of Great Bntain, he went the " whole hog" of exaggeration. We were not safe for a mo ment, and nothing less would do for him than to Sod the French safely housed in Westminster. The Times, in an article which it bestowed on this produc fiat, went, on the other hand, not only the " whole hog" of security, but even insulted the British na tion, by declaring that the mass of the people were indifferent to foreign masters. " England," said that journal, " may be a very fine place to a gentleman with 5,000/. a year, or a peer of the realm, or a man with any sort of position ; and such a man may be ready to stake half his fortune for the maintenance of a position which he could not re place in any other soil; but the vast majority who would certainly mend their position in a newer, a more open, and less taxed country, will not consent to so costly an insurance as that Sir FRANCIS HEAD recommends. Out of their 20e. or 12s. a week they will not spare as. or 3s. to be secured so humble an income on the soil of their fathers, when they know they can attain equal safety, and a better income, by a few days' sail to the west. The test of insurance thus settles the matter. We don't expect to be in vaded, and we are prepared to stand the risk of ruin rather than certainly ruin ourselves by over doing our national defences." The tables a month or two ago were fairly turned, and we had Sir Fits-Nent HEAD begging of the limes to be more quiet in its language, and assuring the public that the PRESIDENT of the French was a most trustworthy personage; the Times, on the other hand, looking hourly for BONAPARTE'S arrival in this country to devastate us with fire and sword, and not knowing how we were to be protected, but demanding improved armaments. The wrr panic and the Times panic hare since cooled, but we are still told that the government intend to " call out the militia." --- Thismpllask" of the mass of the English people has bent ateply proved by the readiness with which our proposition respecting rifle clubs, was received. Fran north to south, and from east to west, Great Britain showed herself ready for division into volun tary armed districts, each ready to protect their own, and thereby save the enormous expense of a forced militia, and allowing government to obtain the great est advantage from its small regular army, by being able to concentrate that force under the protection of these volunteer regiments. But rifle clubs have been "snubbed." The govern ment will not have them. They prefix " calling out the militia," sad have fixed Monday next for moot ing the subject in the Home of Commons. Now, if history is to be taken as a guide, and the expe rience gained by the destruction of militia forces in every nation of Europe is not to be thrown away, we and all true friends of England must hope that a militia will not bo re-established in this country. To train a man to be a soldier, requires not only a long period of constant service under arms, but also that feeling of discipline which is incompatible with social life. It is this want of discipline which caused the defeat in engagement after engagement of the Spanish levies; of the Hungarian forces before the veterans of Naroteost ; and of late years the defeat of the revolutionary party in Lombardy. For the mass of a nation to make itself dangerous to an invading force, should not become a militia but volunteers who should confine their opera tions to cutting off stragglers and supplies, attacking isolated detachments, and, in fact, doing the enemy every injury, without at the same time exposing themselves in a body to general defeat, as militiamen must do. How was it the Vendeans overpowered the numerous republican armies sent against them ? A waggoner, CATIIELINEATI by name, and a young gamekeeper, STOFFLET, at the head of a few countrymen, began the insurrection. Adapting their tactics to the nature of the country, they took advan tage of the hedges and inequalities of the ground, and surrounding their opponents by a line of sharpshooters, they picked off their enemy, whilst they themselves were in safety. They were sharpshooters not militia men. As soon as the enemy appeared thrown into confusion they rushed at them with the butt ends of their guns and with heavy sticks. In the Tyrol the success of irregular forces was still more remarkable. Organised in a military manner, the men who were fit for service were classed into companies with sections of riflemen. Divided amongst the several districts with certain fixed posts to defend ; at times of emergency twenty thousand men could turn out, is they did in 1809, to disturb the rear of the enemy. That year they completely drove out the French forces, for taking advantage of their rocks and defiles, no body of troops could wake a march without being nearly exterminated by these riflemen. In 1813 and 1814, the German partisans, both foot and horse, under TETTENBORN, gave the allies the greatest assistance. These men, so useful in opposing invaders, were volunteers, not con scripts. To make good partisans requires merely activity of body and a perfect knowled ge o f th e i r w eap ons . If on horseback, they must be well mounted and be good horsemen, and that both foot and mounted yeomen should have the love of their country at heart. For such corps, no nation possesses such resources as England. Hunting and shooting are national pas times, and to be a good rider or a crack shot have ever been objects of ambition with the mass of the people. From gentry to peasant, this fondness for field sports has given them a boldness of demeanour, added to a thorough knowledge of every spot in their county. To form valuable corps of riflemen does not require red or blue uniforms, or stiff stocks or crossbelts ; but a shooting coat and a rifle slung over the shoulder is ample for any purposes of warfare. If the government, instead of refusing the services of such men, had entrusted the formation of bodies of volun teers to the lord lieutenants of counties, and to the chief magistrates of towns, clubs without number would have been formed, ready to pay every expense of self-armament; and the government might have assisted this by selling to each man a Minis rifle at cost price. Hut we must, we are told, have conscripts. Now, if a militia is raised, it no longer represents the nation ; for citizens get free of it, by obtaining substitutes, and the militia is generally filled, more or less, with a vagrant class. who are then ready to be drafted Into the line for the purposes of aggressive foreign war, should • government think fit to wage one. This last work volunteer rifle clubs would not do, and therefore we are to " call out the militia." Volunteer rifle clubs formed of every class, gentle or simple, would consist of men who, if they have not 3,01001. a year, or are not peers of the realm, have yet wives, and children, and sisters, and hearths to defend; aye, and the pride and honour of England to defend also. But they would not go over to Bel gium, to fight foe the families of COBV2O or ORLEANS, IMPERIAL. PETITION FOR THE RETENTION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. TO THU lIDITOR 01 TUX DAILY ILIWL.

It to in the hands of tho people to be dealt with as they think fit. No jobbing for a new Crystal Palace ; when it is pretended that tho old palace cannot be devoted to en useful purpose! This should be the firm expression of the public ; and with the view of eliciting, as fully and u fairly as possible, the popular verdict on Sir Joseph Paxton's glass house, I intend forth. with to bear en imperial petition to the Queen, praying fee its retention, to all the large towns in the country, and is each locality to solicit the signatures of the inhabitants. This movement, lem convinced will result in s monster petition, of authentic names; and its weight will, I trust, overbalance the groundless decision at which the Royal Commissioners have arrived. The building was raised by voluntary subscriptions made by. large body of the public ; and it is fair, therefore, that by the popular voice its fats should be decided. Yours, &e. W. BLANCHARD JERROLD. Erechtheum Club. TO THE EDITOR OP TEI EXPRESS. SIR.-1 trust that yon will not allow the public' to be deprived of the Crystal Palace without on. more vigorous effort. The difficulty against which you will have to contend is of course very great, for the present men in office, the protectionists. are bitter against it. as affording a confirmation of free-frade. The late government never liked it; they only accepted it because the feeling of royalty and the nation run so strongly in its favour; therefore the public alone will be responsible for its retention, and I hope you will call upon them to be up and doing. It aeons as if anything which the people loved the higher classes hated. There is plenty of money in hand to complete the purchase, and the peoplo will willingly vote the money to keep it as a garden and museum. Money by the million has been voted for many worse things than a Crystal Palace.—l am, &c., W. 11. 17, Liverpool-terrace, Liverpool•road, March 22. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURINO THE PAST WEEK. (From the Mere..heste Erpress.) The doll advice, from Mark-lane have had their usual effiet on the large provincial markets, and miller. and mer chants seem to have conducted their operations with extreme caution in all ports of the kingdom. The arrivals of grain from the northern ports of Europe have been quite insignificant, and the receipts from the Mediterranean and Black Sea much more moderate than they were at this period last year, nor hay. we as yet re ceived any great quantity from America. A considerable proportion of the supply of bresdetuffs from the other side of the Atlantic usually finds its way to Liverpool, but so yet comparatively little has arrived there. During the week ending the 18th inst., the receipts of that port consisted of only 1,206 qrs. Wheat and 11,784 barrels of flour ; still the trade was exceedingly heavy on Tuesday, and the former article was quoted Id. per 701 b., and Flour Is. per sack and 6d. per barrel lower then on that day sennight. Later in the week the anxiety to realise in creased, and on Friday the turn was 'gnu in favour of the buyer. The reports from the other large consuming town in the north are of a similar character, and the unwillingness generally displayed by all parties to make addition to their stocks affords strong proof of a want of confidence as to any material improvement in prices. The weather has undergone no change ; we have been without rain for three weeks or • month, with the wind mostly from the north•east ; this has afforded farmers ample time to prepare the land, and to get in the greater part of their spring crops. Sowing is, we believe, further advanced than usual at the corresponding period, and the work has been completed in • satisfactory manner ; but ruin and • higher range of temperature are now beginning to be much wanted, as well for the seeds just committed to the soil as for tho young wheat plant. The latter has been a good deal cut op by the keen east wind, but would probably soon recover its full vigour if April should prove genial. Barley hew come forward rather freely at many of the country markets held during the week, and • further fall of la. per qr. has been submitted to on u.altiog qualities. Priem acmes, beans, and peas have not varied materially in any part of the kingdom. The advice. from Scotland speak favourably of the pro gress made there with spring sowing, and of the general aspect of the country. The reports from Edinburgh and Glasgow, of Wednesday last, respecting the Wheat trade, are dull; prices seem, however, to have been tolerably well eupported at both places, nor was barley or oats quoted lower, the demand for seed haring maimed to sustain the value of the finer qualities. Our advice' from Ireland afford little scope for comment, matters having remained in much the tame position there as before. It becomes daily more evident that the last crop of wheat yielded badly in the sister isle, and that the pro duce of oats was not eo large as was believed at harvest time. The probability is, therefore, that Ireland will re- , quire to import largely during the summer and autumn. FOREIGN. The advice. from the north of Europe aro of a more subdued tone this week than for some time past; and at several of the leading Baltic ports • reaction had, it ap pears, taken place in the value of w h ea t. Th a t p r i me would not be supported in the absence of • British demand we have all along foreseen, and we are still decidedly et opinion that quotations on the continent will ultimately be regulated bp prices in our markets. At Danteic prices appear to have been better supported than at the lower porta, and a tolerably fair extent of bud atm seems to have been done there. Our letters from thence are of the 13th instant. During the week about 2,400 qrs. wheat had changed hands—for 60th'. quality 44,., fur 6111,.. fine mixed 4de., and for 61Ibe. fine high mixed Ric to 47e. perqr. free on board had been paid. The weatbtr was then frosty, and the navigation of the Vistula was interrupted by ice. In Poland prices of wheat had been wed maintained, and purchases could scarcely have been made there at former rates. The latest accounts from Stettin (17th inst.) represent business as having become very dull. The deliveries of grain had been larger than expected would have been the case, and buyers having held off, sellers had had no alter native but to give way. Prices had become too unsettled to give quotations with much accuracy; but with positive orders new Pomeranian wheat, weighing 80 to &Whs., might probably have been bought at equal to 40e.; and rail Silesian, 69 to 691114., at 39s , or even 38s. per qr. free on board. .The decline in the value of spring corn bad not been so great as on wheat, and Pomeranian barley had not been offered below 23e. • whilst for fair feed oats 17s. per qr. tree on board had been insisted on. The reports from the Lewer Deltic ports generally are dull, and it is tolerably clear that holden on the other side have become somewhat anxious to realise. Hamburg letters, of last Tuesday's date, report a falling off in the demand for wheat, and since the previous post day very few bargains had, it appears, been closed. Good qualities of red wheat, to be shipped from Wismar or Hol stein, weighing 81Ibe. per bushel, might have been bought at 415.9e1., but heavy Pommennian Lad not been offered be low 924. 3d. per qr. free on board. In barle • moderate amount of business had been done at 26e. 3 d. to 26e. 6d. fur 631135. to &Übe. quality free on board in Denmark. Oats had rather given way in valet, 18s. Od. having been taken for 35th.. quality trout Jutland, and 18s. for 341 b from the The advice, from Holland speak less sanguinely about wheat than of late, the demand from the Rhine provinces having fallen of. At Rotterdam, on Monday, there was no particular change in prima of either homegrown or foreign wheat, but the trade was much less active than it had been previously. This was likewise the case at Amsterdam, on the lame day ; and though the offers of wheat from hence, from the Baltic and the Black Sea, had been rather numerous, few bargains had been closed. _ In France, prime of wheat and flour appear to have been steadily supported ; but neither at Paris nor at the markets on the coast had the operations been extensive, buyers having in general acted with • good deal of caution. The accounts from the Mediterranean are net of much interest at present, prices continuing relatively higher there than in this country. At Leghorn, on the 10th March, Marianopli wheat of 021 lbs. weight was quoted 395. ; (Mirka, a pound per bushel heavier, the same price; and Polish Oders, weighing 80t lbs. per bashtl, 33e. Bd. per qr. free on board. A letter from Alexandria, dated 6th inst., informs us that after • period of considerable excitenunt the grain trade has become heavy. Saida wheat might then have been readily bought at 24e. 4d., and BOUTS 21s. 7d. to 23e. 3d. per qr. free on board. The exports in January and February had amounted to 321,000 ord. , . wheat, 120,000 beans, and 73,000 barley, against 222,000 Ards. wheat, 40.000 beaus, and 29,000 barl e y, during the same period The latest accounts from the United Stator represent the flour trade se calm, with prices rather receding.

Compared with the price of last Monday this range shows a rise of 1 per cent., and another advance of as contrasted with the Monday previous, making a total improvement of 1 per cent. within the fort night. This marked advance, occurring in the face of the unsatisfactory position of the cabinet both as regard's parliament and the country, affords strong evidence of the general opinion as to the tendency of the money market.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various English securities cited at tho average of the prices now 'tiling. Where the asterisk (•) is prefixed, it is to be understood that the share rate of interest is less the income-tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation. To render the results strictly accurate, the pro portion of interest which may have accrued since last dividend period should, in each case, be taken into account: nuns per Cant. °mote price 99) plead per pat.

ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—Yesterday the an noel general court of the guardians of this institution was held in the ball of the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court—Sir John Heron Maxwell, Bart., one of the treasurers, in the chair. The Secretary submitted for the unction of the court en appeal in behalf of the asylum, soliciiing for it the support of all Scotchmen, which, with some modifications, was agreed to. It was stated that although the asylum was built for the reception of 200 inmate■, the children of sailors, soldiers, and marines, natives of Scotland, yet that from want of adequate support only 108 arc on the hooks, and these are maintained at the annual expense of 1,0001. above the income, the items for last year being— income, 1,6001.; expenditure, 2,5001.

Rows of stalls, covered with a variety of useful and ornamental articles, extended the entire length of the tunnel. In either shaft bands of music were sta tioned, and thousands of variegated ►amps were arranged in a variety of fanciful devices under the vault. REFUSAL OF LICENSE TO TUE STOCK EXCHANGE. —Yesterday at the licensing meeting of magistrates of the City, held at Guildhall, an application was made by Mr. George Webb, the Secretary of the Stock Exchange, fur a spirit license to a house, No. 4, Shorter's-cow , Thrugmor ton-street. The petition noted that it was intended s dely for the accommodation of the members of the Stock Ex change. Mr. Bodkin appeared in opposition, and contended that as the place was not intended for the accommodation of the public, but merely for the subscribed, the court had no power to grant the license—the subscribers ought to be left to supply themselves Ns they might at club-houses, but it would be a great hardship to grant a spirit license to suc► a place to the injury of those who had held licenses for many years, and had expended great sums to get into their respective houses.—Mr. Ballantine, for the petitioners, urged that the license ought to be granted —many lieill•CS had been granted to confectioners and eating-house keepers. —After some further discussion the license was refused, on the ground that it was not required for the good of the public generally, and if this were granted almost every one would make a THE CAPITAL CONVICTS AT WINCHESTER —Several thousand persons visited Winchester early on Saturday morning last, in the expectation of seeing the execution of the two men for the Rooney murder. Numbers of them hail walked 20 or 30 miles, coil on learning that the mur derers had been reprieved, appeared to be much disap pointed. A great many of the visitors would seem, from their depraved appearance and brutal conduct, to be making progress towards the fat, from which the condemned men had temporarily escaped. The public-houses and beer shops in the neighbourhood of the gaol were filled during part of the day with the persons who had conic to the " hang-fair," as it is called in Hampshire. EXECUTION OF A BANKRUPT.—At noon, on the 10th inst., just as the Exchange at Hamburg, crowded with merchants, presented its busiest aspect, two drummers in the civic uniform came up and rolled their drums for the spare of ten minute,. causing a great commotion both within and out of the Bourse. While this was going on, workmen wore seen over the principal gateway of the building elevating a black board, on which was painted in white letters the name of a merchant of the ci who had lately suspended payment and absconded with a phis assets. When the name had been fairly set tip, a bell called the sehand gloeke" or shame bell, only rung on such occa sions, was sounded for two hours from a tower of the Bourse. This penalty of disgrace, called the "execution of a fraudulent bankrupt," is ordained by a law which can he traced to the fourteenth century, when the Hanseatic league was at the height of its greatness. At that period, however, the bankrupt's patent of citizenship and his certi !tette as a merchant, were also burnt by the hangman.
