A portion might be paid at the bemusing, another daring the service, and the remainder at the termination. Mr. YO WATT said, suppose a large number of the men ' who had taken the bounty were nut to be found, by what means did they propose to get them t Mr. WALPOLE said the Attorney-Gsseral had ex ' planed that if a man who had taken the bounty did not come at the time the body was called out, he was (having been reddest, or being resident, In the county) to be treated es &deserter. He was to be ta k en before magis trates, and fined 101.

The unty of 2e. fid. a smooth for five years would be 71. 10s., making for 80,000 men 800,0001. or 120,0001. a year for flee years. Now, by allowing soldiers who had boa 12 years in service pensions of 6d. a day, they might have a force of 14,000 men at 91. per annum each, and in fact it would not cost than that, as the men would not be paid the good 'endue mosey of 2d. per day, so that the cost of pension and pay would only be 81. 10e. per man, or 119,0001. • year for 14,000 of the best soldiers in the world. He contended that this would be a far better plan mammas of defence this the proposed militia. Kr. HUME sonsidered the bounty money as being so much uselessly squandered. Why not have volunteer rifle corps, who could b e had without expense ? After some esierenation, Mr. WALPOLE had no doubt, if there was en invasion impending, that volunteer corps could be raised; and that they would be as eMeient se any other force that could be provided in the same time. But that was not the sort of force they were now proposing to raise. Besides, as the very essence of voluntary service was the liberty of retiring at will, it would be impossible to keep up such a eorpe. (Hear, hear) Mr. 111; ME said that that would be an advantage, inas much as those who retired would have something of mili tary knowledge. 14 therefore, an emergency should arise, the government would have at their command half a mil lion or a million of persons who had been more or less in structed in military tactics. After some further conversation, Mr. M. GIBSON said he should vote for the plan of his hon. friend as being the least expensive and best calculated to meet the object required. The committee then divided— For the amendment 99 Against it On our return to the gallery, Mr. BRIGHT was speaking, and said that by the bill It wee proposed to give a bounty to the militiaman not ex ceeding 61., or rather of 71. 101. as the bounty would be spread over five years, it not being considered advisable to give so much es 64 at once, as it might be an indeseseest to • men to abscond.

Ile. lea Se right hon. gentleman had not told thew whet the engem& ture on that account would be.

Ho must insist on knowing more on this subject from the go vernment. lie called on the right hon. gentleman to afford the house the most minute and unequivocal in formation with regard to the sum they were called on to vote. Mr. WALPOLE said when his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward his budget, he stated the sum that would be required for the Militia for the present year would be 350,0001., and credit was gives for that sum. The hon. gentleman said, and wished it le go forth to the country, that the government were about to spend 1,000,0001. on the Militia for the year 1853, when be was aware that that statement was not accurate. (Chess) Mr. BRIGHT said ho had never stated anything of the kind. How could he have said so, when he west into the question of the 71. 10e. bounty, which was to be speed over five years, and multiplied it by 80,0001, the taaskm of ma to be raised. What he said was, that the t o be slii• mately expended would be 1,000,41116, Ma de be ha a moment thought it was to be the •= O l / 4 • yeah Hesupported his case by that of has opponents, and he was not so weather in seem m M make • statement which the right has. guillima sada I overturn as soon as he rose. Mr. WALPOLE said he was about to oh the bus. tleman whether he meant that the govewwwwilNee rain 1 for 1,000,0001. for the first year, or whelbsrbe tart le apply that sum to the five years. The begembin ea hit mind was that the hon. gentleman IMIMI. Ind OM be wished it to go forth to the country, that that es= me Is be applied to the expense of the first year. (Hew, bor.) The honourable gentleman asked what the impede WM that the government were about to incur. Credit MI bees given for 350,0001. for the first year ; and he (Ms. Walpole) would state what he thought would be requited for the five years over which it was thought right he wad the ex pense. Ile had stated, when be introdused Om bill, what the expense would be. He had not the Apse with him, but be remembered what they were. Mr. BRIOHT—Not the expense of arms. Mr. WALPOLE—He did not then state the cat of arms; but he had, on inquiry, found that 60,000 men could be furnished with arms without any expense to the 1 country; and he believed accoutrements also. He hod stated that the expease, including equipments, pay to sass and officers and allowances, would be for the first year for 60,000 nun, 210,0001. • for the second year, 210,0001. ; and for the whole pe r iod, 915,0001. (as we understood.) Adding to this the amount of the bounty, and assurniag that the men would be procured, on an average, at a little more than 31. each, this would make a total expense for the five years of 1,156,0001. He had stated it in round mum ben at 1,200,0001. Supposing 60,000 men were raised in the present year, he believed the expense would not exceed what had been stated. In answer to Sir F. T. BAILING, Mr. WALPOLE said he did not include in this the ex pense of the ballot. It was also doubtful whether this would cover the arms. Col. SIBTHORP congratulated the hon. member Ica Manchester on the miens questions on which he wade wended to touch. Ho bed amerced that the men would take the bounty and desert, but he (Col. !kWh's") was confident that his couatrymes were pest easiest the in ducement' thus held out ts then by the ben. member kr Manchester. 1" Order.") The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Boreal) Interfered, and said ,the hon. end gallant member was parse* a line of argument which was not consistent with due respect to the honk. In answer to Sir F. Bonin, Mr. WALPOLE said he was not prepared with an esti mate of the expense of the ballot; but it should be remem bered that where it was necessary to have recourse to the ballot, they would save a proportionate amount of the bounty. After a few words from Mr. CMILDWRLL and Mr. V. Smixii, Mr. MOWATT said there was a probability of much greater expense being incurred then the Home Secretary bad stated. Suppose that instead of 61. they had to pay each man 71. 10a. or 2e. IM. a month daring the whole period. It was lot too large amm to set down 61. per man more foe arms sad acanstreaseset. This made an dem of 400,0001. more, or near a million. The right hon. gentleman had forgotten another item, that for each 21 days the men were celled out, each man was entitled to a guinea. If other small items were included. the expense would be brought up to near two millions. (Cries of "Divide.") Alter a few words from Ile.

The company exceeded 1,200 members of the wealth and aristocracy at present in the metropolis. THE ASSOCIATION OF EMPLOYERS AND THEIR WOK/MIN.—An address has just been issued by the Cen tral Association of Employers of Operative Engineers to their workmen. The address is in reply to statements con tained in the document recently published by the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society. The employers, at considerable length, vindicate the propriety and the justice of the course which they have pursued during the recent strike, and conclude as follows : "We now take, we trust, our final leave of this painful subject. While firmly re solved to support and encourage those who have assisted us, amid no common difficulties, to keep open our establish ments, our repentant workmen, where vacancies are still open, shall be received with cordial welcome, and spared from uneasiness by oblivion of the past. To us it shall be no disqualification to employment that an artisan has tried the experiment offered by co-operative workshops. Of these laudable, if mistaken, attempts to secure to asio elated lab >tar the profits of individual capital and enter prise, we have only too little reason to be jealous of the competition. But whether they succeed or fail, we trust that the rival theories of competition and co-operation may side by side be practically applied, without interruption to social harmony and the mutual good-will of neighbourly citizenship. None shall bail the success of the s ol ution et I the industrial problem with more sincere congratulation than ourselves; and we trust that should the experiment prove, as we fear it will, to be signally disastrous , we shall be found honestly willing to mitigate the lot of the sufferers, , to the extent of our ability, and the full limit of our pecu liar opportunities." SUICIDE IN ST. JAMESlL—Yestarday afternoon, Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Charing-cross Hospital, on the body of Henry Bruck, a commercial clerk, aged 24 The deceased, who lodged at No. 7a, Bury-street, St. James's has been ill and in low spirits for some time put, and on Tuesday morning last (having been out all night) be came home about half-past eight o'clock, and about half ast nine a noise was heard in the house , which the land lady (Madame Barre) and her servant fancied was caused by a window slipping down. About noon, however, de ceased not having been seen in the Meantime, Madame Barre opened has door (having previously knocked), when she found him lying on the floor insensible, and a pistol by his side. Mr. Miller, surgeon, was immediately sent for, who said he could do nothing for him, and advised his re moval to the above hospital, where he expired about twenty minutes to eleven the same night. On a poet @Norte's' exami nation by Dr. Dalton, it was found that a bullet had entered the head of deceased, near the right temple, and lodged in the anterior portion of the skull. There was nothing to bring directly home to the deceased the com mittal of the rash act, with the exception of a letter in the German language, addressed to his mother in Holland, which was put in as evidence, and traulsted by his brother, as follows :—" London May . 10, 1862.—My dear mother,— I hope that Heaven Will give you all the happiness and good health that you can wish fee in this miserable world.

" THERE is nothing new under the sun," say the Coldstream. of our highly-civilised country, with as much vexation in their tone as such lazy gentlemen can trouble themselves to express. "'There is nothing new under the sun," young aspirants repeat t o theta. selves, half in dread, and half in disbelief, when they hear the " used up " puppy sigh out the words, at the very moment when they are planning or contem. plating something excessively new which is to astonish the world. Something of the same cold dread comes over us now when we think of th ote words while the tidings pour in, week after week, of the poor man—the labourer, the artisan, the disgraced outcast, the pauper—having found their heaven before they die, even in Australia, where they can each make 1,2001. a year (without reckoning windfalls), with less trouble and car e than they ever bestowed before on working, pinin g , or thieving. Is not this a really new thing in the world? New enough it must be to them. .% humane journalist told us, some years ago, that walking he. hind two poor litt.e children in the street in London, he heard ono tell the other, " Once I had a half. penny." The conversation went into detail alAsit tho UM of this wealth ; but the listener's mind um off on a different track,—on that of the uses of suLi a fact—such a revelation of the life of the poor. bably that bare-footed, half-nourished child, was laid in the ground long ago ; but if she should be abet ground, in Australia, as the wife of a shepherd, or journeyman curpenter,what must it be to her to see h er husband pouring out his gold on the table, and tojon him in planning life on the scale of 1,2110/. a year' " Once I had a halfpenny," said she, a while ago. It anybody had at the moment foretold her present in come, and if her imagination could have expanded to receive the idea, would she not have jumped to the conclusion that in her case heaven was to Im.gin this aide the grave? And is not this experience, when extended to scores—hundreds—thousunds families, something new under the sun? The tivan ianli who grew rich, three centuries ego, in Mexico &Ili Peru, afford no resemblance. They went there ot account of the gold—found an organised socioT there, and sacrificed it to their own interests. 1, there anywhere in history, or anywhere now in tt world, an analogous position to that of our Limann in the other hemisphere, gaining gold by hundred-weight ? le there anywhere a case which can hint to us what their position is likely to become? When the herdsman, high up in the table-lands of Thibet, is as canuyi% as any "used up" Coldstream we have happened to meet—when there is no sign of a caravan, and therefore no temptation to brigands to conic and give him a sensation—when he has followed his few cattle till he is tired of his rocky walk— when he has kneaded his barley-meal into his tea with his knuckle, and satisfied his hunger—when he hum twisted a new halter from the long hair of his yak, and made his bow from the horn of the ml corn—when he has gathered dung enough for Lis evening fire—when ho can think of nothing ei-c whatever to do,and yet may not sleep over his charge, he thinks he will amuse himself with getting some gold. He does not very well know what he shall do with it ; but he will get it first and then refine it, and then be will see what next. So he pokes about a little with his staff, or looks into the watercourse in the next ravine, He has soon got enough ; and then he takes from his vest the rude earthen thing—the sort of crucible, which he carries about with him, from habit. la some hollow, or the sheltered side of some ravine, he makes his fire of the best sort of dung—that Alia will melt iron; and there he bakes his crucible, with the gold in it, and fidgets about till it is trult re fined. It has beguiled his hours; and that is a good thing. Possibly, however, some of the Lamas may take the gold to help to plate over the roof of some Buddhist temple ; or, if the temples are all in pod repair, they may cover with gold the walls and ceiling of another guest-chamber, in their nennst abode. He has no other chance. He lives in a bark tent, where no new furniture is ever wanted. Ile wears rough sheep-skins. Ile cats black barley meal, and drinks brick-tea, which he gets in a change for the hair and wool of his herds and flock. Ho is often hungry • sometimes frost-bitten; but what has his gold to do with that? Here is nothing to be bought. Can he eat gold, or make a fire of it? Irresistibly is this . fhibetan herdsman brought to mind when we hear of the largo stone on 'Wellington Plains, in Australia. where wandering herdsmen have been wont to rest, smoking their pipes while their cattle grazed ; that stone which has since been found to consist of alnnst pure gold. Wo repel the intruding words,—we close our ears to the old echo " there is nothing new under the sun," unable to endure the thought that Arista lien herdsmen may ever become like the Thibetiaa Let us assert it to be impossible,—assert it sterna ously and constantly ; but let us look well to the reasons why. Let us remember what all travellers have told us—beforethedays of the gold—of the brutal morals and manners of those unsocial beings at the out-stations. Let us remember that when gold ap pear!) on the surface of the ground men's wont panning work to the surface of their characters. Let us remember what has happened in that vat country already ;—that already vineyards, naval:or: to Rhenish perfection, are destroyed ;—that tlr breed of unmatched sheep is already deteriorated that already precious herds of cattle have wand,nd out of reach into the wilds ;—that thousands of horses have ceased to become property, and are now Waning their manes in prairies as far from brit birth-place, for aught we know, as the Steppe. of Ramie from the Landes of France. These things are OD 111111117 hints that " there is nothing new under the sun;" and that our Australian towns may become like the Thibetian, where nothing is to lie had but by a rude barter, on account of the plenitude of gold. There is in Tartary a strange group of mounds: — hillocks all grass-grown, in the midst of which a tra veller saw a single shepherd sitting with his stun is the herbage. The place ia called the Old Town ; and this is all that the shepherd, or any one (Ir. can tell about it. The eye, following the mounds, can trace, as in Babylon the Great, the prodigious circuit of the walls, the spaces of the gates, the cation of the towers, which the winds have buried, and where the birds of the air have dropped the seeds which the ages have woven into a pall. There life once existed, as vivid as now in Sydney and Melbourne. There TAMERLANE perhaps It'd his troops of captives through the crowded streets ; And there it was, probably, that ZINUIS KHAN repaired from his feats in China, to repose himself from the summer heats.
