LONDON, FRIDA Y, OCTOBER 20. A startling fall in the thermometer, a touch of the climate of Lapland in the latitude of London, and theWeald of Kent gelded over with snow in the midst of the month of October, have not unnaturally turned WketnaPe"leoesishal.:ltienwnthietihaonnanive3 the rcts d dan want of d w th e e h ork ort w : n c n o ti t i I etresta—low wages and high priced corn—with now and then an motes of that admirable infatuation which exacerbates, by an artificial interference with credit, every interruption of the ordinary ceases of mope rity. Have we en view a season of dearth, a visita tion of and an avalanche of pauperism— revd on the borders, discontent in the maim, end a rapid race to ruin everywhere? These ate the sotione of the Tim... But then, ea all the world knows, it never rains with the Times but it pours a perfec t deluge. It is never anything in nio d.We nor even by halves; and once possess it with the shadow of an idea, and you have it on the instant worked and swollen, by steam-power, into some mon strous exaggstatloa. On this occasion we suspect that our dogmatical contemporary has employed • hand lees skilful and more unsafe than those to whom he politically en trants hie reputation. The rhetoric is lame enough, bat that is a comparatively small offence. It is the fallatiousness of the facts upon the strength of which inferences are insinuated and predictions volunteered, against which we protest. In the first place it is not true at this moment, nor has it been true for any fourteen days together of this year, that the Wanes of trade is against this country. We suppose that the balance of trade has something to do with the state of the foreign exchange and with the transit of the precious metals—at least, this has , always been the idea of the merchants from the time Of Sir JOSIAH CIIILD downwards. Let the Times produce the file of WeitenAalla List since the let Jan., 1848, and if it can prove by the figures of that Illltter-otlact publication that for half a dozen sensmative past days there has been an ad -1 verse mercantile exchange, we will abandon oar censure. You have had, it is true, an export of silver to Hamburg, and a drain of the two metals to Paris; but we beg to say not on mercantile grounds. It has not been the abundance of English bills at Paris, but the extravagance of the apt, and the doctrines and designs of the red republic, which have excited • partial metallic current from this side of the channel to the other ; and the same canoes and the same fears have stimulated the remittances to the Baltic. From every other part of the compass Eng land has been the recipient of an uninterrupted tide of treasure. From the East we have already received so prodigious a cargo of =pees that the Bast India Company not unnaturally begin to calculate the effect upon the collection of that famous land-tax which red-hot philanthropists, with more haste than good speed, so often vituperate as the most virulent scourge of Hindostan. From North America, from both sides of South America, and from the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there has been a similar in flux, and the fact is broadly this, that we have sent much away, but as we have happened to receive something more, we have not been rendered so poor by continental revolution, as to be unable to make no head against domestic scarcity. We took some pains on Monday to dispel the hal lucination which regards the cost and the bulk of a tieres of coffee or a bale of cotton as al alike and as uniformly convertible terms. The common idea of the ordinary sort of people *that a men bas a great deal or a very little to pay, just as he happens to give a very high or a very low price. Now and then a five-pound note will buy him one' sack of corn, and now and then it will bay hila two, and when it does buy him two the vulgar lea- Ceelamounts to this—that he has not spent mom, tn that he has got more for his money ; and by the aid of statistics, patent to anybody, we conceive that we did establish, on tolerably firm data, that it is quite poerible for our imports to have swelled in size and diminished in cost as to leave us still on the safe side of the dilemma of having bought more than we have sold, and of having to draw upon the Bank fat the difference. The Zings cannot comprehend this. The prices of 1847 are with it the prices of all time, and it still in sists with melancholy pertinacity upon the extra quantity of sugar, and the declining . quantity of hardware and cottons. Thies are the opinions which have so often excited the unfeigned surprise of the ate during the last six months, when they have ap peased in another part of the same journal, and in a part where it would be an immense ion tif the diurnal popgun was discharg with leas solemnity and circumstance. In reality, it is this abundance and this cheapness of raw materials which will stand us most in stead in the approaching months of cold and gloom. Last year we had both empty stomachs and empty ware houses. This year, even if we suffer from the first, we shall n ot' have to complain of the second. We shall not have to experience the grievous mortification of declining orders because we have no raw materiaL The demands for finished goods, destined in what the Times cells a normal state of things to feed the manufactures of Saxony or the Rhine, and which the present abnormal state of things has diverted to our own shores, can be amply satisfied. The truth is, that many such demands are being satisfied already. We say advisedly, that at this moment considerable employment in the west riding of Yorkshire is being afforded in contracts ori ginally intended for foreign looms. This is a test to te taken into account. It is a fact which materially mitigates the gravity of other elements of disturbance. We do not deny the presence of these other elements. We have never disguised since the month of August our apprehension of the ultimate result of the harvest; and some time before we again expe rience the warm sunshine and the bright days of sigamw, we shall very likely have to thank the con t:zOof a partial import of corn, and a decided f the Bank Bill, for a passing twinge in the messy market. But these are evils very different from the pretentious hobgoblins which our contempo rary has created without eith'r rhyme or trams, and, As it would seem, simply and purely as additional exercises of that sleight of-hand which so often substi tutes spasm for force and distortion for effect. Tng step' recently taken to establish a regular sys tem of education for every private soldier in her Ma jesty's service are already producing the anticipated and desirable effect of calling increased attention to the lamentable deficiencies of the education which has hitherto been deemed sufficient to qualify the of in that service for the very arduous and responsible duties of their profession. The absurdities and abuses of the system by . which the officers in the British army are appointed and promoted are so familiar 'a, and we trust sa rightly estimated by, our readers, that we need not enlarge thereon. The bestowing a commission on every booby wi o has aristocratic connexions and a few hundred pounds, to the exclusion of the enterprising, the intelligent, and ambitious, who are drstituts of the above qualifica tions, is in itself sufficiently preposterous. It may fairly be asserted that any other profession would have been ruined, and rendered utterly useless to the community, of which the rewards and honours were distributed on the like principle. But the climax of the absurdity was and is, that, with a system of selec dun which so inevitably lowers the general standard of intelligence in members of the military profession, ID little pains are taken to correct by subsequent dis cipline and instruction the natural or educational die advantages under which young gentlemen entering the army are known tolabour. Fortunately the doom of this, the most glaring and indefensible of all ear Insular absurdities, may now be regarded u waled. Brea if government took no other steps to remedy the abuse, the officers of the army will be driven for werenshame to adopt of their own accord qu it s a t standard of professional education from that which the majority of them have hitherto been content with. Let the system e t army whoolmasterr, of which the go varnsient have laid therfoundations, once coma into anything like general operation, and in ten years the great body of the privates and non-coinnilasioned salon will surpass, both in general and in profes sional information, three-fourths at least—we might, perhaps, not un fairly name a larger proportion—of the meets who command them—an unexampled position for a set of gentlemen to be placed in—and one not without its dangers and inconveniences, if the very dread of such a consummation were not saffielent is itself to generate a timely and adequate remedy. One remarkable sign of the feeling that prevails on the subject in quarters generally most inaccewible to all ideas of reform, are the excellent articles on army reform which appear from time to time in the Quarterly. On mat subjects our respected contem porary adheres with a marvellous fidelity to the canons in literature and in politics which were in vogue forty years ago; nay, with an almost super aeons chivalry, he continues to champion abases long after the good sense of the nation and of the legislature has seen fit actually to oho; fish them. But the articles on military subjects which appear in his pages are free from any taint of this preposterous conserva tism. They frankly acknowledge and propose the most direct and thoroughgoing remedies for (the various abuses in that departm ent of the public service. Trite as the subject is, it is no harm to listen to what the Quarterly says of the present mode of offioeiing our army, the passag e being likewise as fair a statement u could be eird of the subject in ques tion : The point, says the: writer in the last number of the Quarterly, with whish we are for the present concerned is simply this—whether in our military system there be say safeguards of sufficient potency to prevent the army from being officered by persons who shall be wanting in the qualifications for command ; and we are forted to ac. knowledge that, if there be any such safeguards, we have yet to discover them. It is reasonable to sesame that offi cers, coming directly from the higher and middle walks of life, have received in their youth the ordinary educatioa of ;sidemen. gut is what walk of civil life can people pt tato important positions, on the mere sesumption that, being respectably born, they must have been duly educated ? Na, the sister service afloat --ay, that very branch which in tie ' memory ofincet of no, used to be rated far below its de serts —is ma careful on this score as any of the ' professions called learned. The boy who puts on a I blue jacket, with the high resolve of rivalling Nelson mast pass through three exuainations, each more etarchinit than the other, before he can win his Int coauseeloa ; nor does the candidate for a second-lieutenancy of marines effect his purpose until his attainments have been similarly sifted. I Why should command in the army be the only post of power to which young gentlemen cosy aspire without the slightest laquiry being made in regard to their fitness for the exercise of power ? The writer then enters into a brief but clear exa mination of the department of military education which is least defective—n e., the engineering and artillery schools at Woolwich and Chatham, and glances at the principal defects of the system in vogue there, both as regards the educational course itself, and the not less important points of the previous training and subsequent occupations of those who are destined for the Ordnance service. The writer then remit ks : But apart frem the Ordnance corps. we have an army of 140,000 men—and how is this army officered ? By interest, by purchase, or else by chance. A few young men, Perhaps thirty or forty per annum, are permitted to acquire, at a heavy expense to their parents, such military education as Sandhurst can afford ; and of these, one-half, in considers.. tion of their diligence and good conduct, may be gazetted without purchase to ensigncies in the line. But concerning the progress made by the residue no questions are asked, except at the periodical examinations ; and their stupidity then, be it ever so flagrant, is not regarded se a bar to their entrance into the service. We quote the exact words of the Quarterly, be. cause however indefensible the abuses complained of the admissions made by a periodical in its position will have weight with many who would sniff at mere liberal arguments on the subject. The Quarterly next passes in review the systems of education for officers, pursued in France, in Germany, and in Holland ; and then rather leaves the reader to infer, than states forcibly, the inevitable conclusions, u to the disadvantages under which, in cue of a continental war, this country will labour, owing to the defective education, and undeveloped intelligence even of the better c lass of oar officers, when pitted against the knowledge, the discipline, and the command of all the resources of an improved strategy, which the officers of the continental armies have acquired in the course of 30 years of incessant sod emulous efforts on the part of all the continental governments to improve this the right arm of their power. There will, no doubt, now, u always, be many brilliant exceptions to the mediocre acquire ments of our officers, and British courage and self reliance will csocasionally work miracles of success against the most fearful odds. But the question is, whether on tke whole, in the long and complex ac count of years, perhaps of difficult and desperate wars (for however desirable and thrice-blamed peace may be, we cannot hope to enjoy it for ever), the balance may aot prove to be against us • and Thoth', the loss of thousands of men, and millions of money, u well uof the other interests, which are the prises or the penalties of war, may not be attributable to our offi cering a military . form, the most heavily tasked and the most expensive in the world, in a way which has been so long the subject for laughter and triumphant scorn on the part of all the military authorities of the continent. A proper system of education for our officers might, we think, be organised, with hardly any addition to the army and ordnance estimates. But even were it otherwise, it might be easily and most judiciously compensated for by retrenchment in some other re spect. In fact, it is as one of the most direct roads to retrer.chment, diet we advocate the fullest and most effective education both of officer and private. We hesitate not to say, that 100,000 men, properly educated themselves and officered by gentlemen se lected for their talent and acquirements, and pro moted on no other grounds, would be worth for general efficiency, and for all purposes of national offence and detince, 200,000 men, recruited, and dis ciplined, and officered, in the absurd and antiquated system which only the last couple of years have seen any attempt to reform, and which it will take the labour of a generation to reconstruct on an improved and rational basis. WE are frequently treated to essays on the expedi ency of diverting the sewage of London from the Thames, and making it the property of certain com panies, in order to fertilize the fiats of Essex or the fields of Hounslow. Scotia id has a case in point. The curious history of the rise and progress of the irrigated meadows round Edinburgh affords a double experience on the proper method of disposing of the impurities of a city. On the one band it shows the great pecuniary value which this commo dity may reach—on the ether it shows how many t. mptations there are for individual cupidity to con vert this element of value into a curse, instead of a benefit to the community, if private speculation is to be permitted to deal as it thinks fit with the question of the proper means of town sewage, as one of pare money-making. Before the cholera had been known to have visited this country, and before sanitary matters had become an object of serious inquiry and settlement, the citizen who took his walk through these =inured meadows perhaps put his handker chief to his nose, or vented some excusa ble exclamation about their vile stench, or their heavy fcctid vapour. Perhaps he carried hie expression of antipathy a little further, and momentarily threatened to write to a newspaper, or even to raise an action, but his retaliatory resolu tion, died away as he passed from the miasma into the pare air, and gradually he limited the expression of his antipathy to the negative resolution not to walk that way again, and certainly never to commit the mistake of taking a suburban residence within the tainted area. As to those who had been brought up in the neighbourhood of the nuisance, they showed of course the usual indifference to influences to which they had been familiarised, if not inured, by custom. But the general anxiety attending the visitation of cholera in 1832, and the more scientific revelations of the inquirers into the causes of public disease, roused people to the belief that the liquid impurities of a large city, spread over many acres of meadow close to the dwellings of a considerable pertion of the citizens, could not be perfectly innoow us. Various parties were thus induced to institute inquiries as to this matter, and the result of them confirms a we have long entertained that there is much less danger to the stability of the public institutions of this country from any popular invasion of the rights of property, than from a propensity of the influential aliases to protect every invasion on the public that attempts to shield itself under the designation of a "vested right." From a pretty early period the setters of Edinburgh passed towards the sea in the direction of these me*. down. The adjacent proprietors in their vindication of their conduct claimed credit for not having sup. pressed them as a nuisance. They knew better, and by modest degrees appropriated in various forms th e rich contents to the improvement of their lands. At first they dug pits, where they manufactured manure which they removed by cartage. Subsequently they discovered the far superior advantages of con verting the neighbouring fields into pasture, so irri gated with the contents of the sewers that they might both water the grass and deposit a rich top dressing on the surface of the soil. This plan was capable of wide extension, and a considerable district of this sewage-saturated meadow gradually increased around the superseded dung-pits. The land which previously was a worthless detritus of sand producing little but whin and broom became the most valuable alluvial soil in Scotland. With the uneasy restlessness of men who know that justice and the world condemn them, the perpetrators of this gigantic nuisance have thought it necessary every now and then to publish vindication, of their conduct. In one of these they say : " By general law upper heritore are no: entitled to defile a stream to the prejudice of those below; but here the defilement was not complained of. On the contrary, the proprietors through whose lands it passes have derived a large and increasing profit from the foul burn by turning it over their fields for irrigation. By these operations the foul burn brings a profit to the proprietors to the eastward of Edinburgh, to the amount of above 5,0001. per an. num. This burn, by irrigation, produces grass yield ing a constant succession of crops from the month of March till the frost of the succeeding winter puts an end to the vegetation. 'I he grass produced is capable of feeding nearly 2,000 cows, and that grass, too, is found by experience to be of the most wholesome de scription for cattle. The rental of an acre of ground not worth 20e. nor half the sum, is raised from the water, according to its situation, to from 201. to 401. per annum." This exultation over the value of the seizure may appear a strange feature in such a vindi cation, and it is necessary to explain that it forms part of a peculiar process of reasoning, by which the pro. prietors show that the enrichment of themselves is equivalent to the enrichment jof the public. They subsequently named the amount of compensation at which they were ready to give up their claims at 160,0001. ; and doubtless, if this sum Were paid to them, they would consider their acceptance of it as equivalent to its distribution among the public at large. This sum is greatly beyond the purchase-money of the annual income said to be derived from the foetid meadows, and this introduces us to the doctrine of Scottish law which has hitherto stood in the way of the abatement of the nuisance. The proprietors main tain that they have a prescriptive right in the pros tire, and, that however m'nute its development may have been at the commencement of the forty years of prescription, they are not only entitled to practise it on the increased scale of the present day, but that they have a property in its indefinite enlargement to any extent to which a growing population, or im proved engineering skill, may carry it. Thee it is held that the Acquisition of a right, which presumes acquiescence, may be made while there was nothing peceepble to acquiesce in, and a hundred and fifty thousand people are bound to submit to the fields aroma them being made putrid because they did not abject forty years ago to the irrigation of a little patch of ground, of which only the inhabitants of a few neighbouring cottages could be sensible. But these gentlemen did not trust to so frail a de fence as this monstrous principle. The method of =local bills through parliament afforded them me of acquiring a far stronger sanction ; and as one of them was a peer, and the other a member of the House of Commons, they had the means of tran meting their own business, and did so in a manner creditable to their ingenuity and vigilance. In apply ing to parliament for amended police acts, the Edin burgh authorities repeatedly asked for powers to alter their sewer system, under the preamble that the pre sent use of the impurities of the city was offensive and unwholesome to the inhabitants, but they were invari ably defeated ; and a clause was inserted prohibiting them from doing any act, however imperiously de manded by the public convenience or safety, that might divert the sewage front these gen tlemen's fields. In the new Edinburgh police act the prohibition is thus re-embodied (sec. 219) " Provided always, that in making any such main drains or common sewers, or in repairing, recon structing, or enlarging the same or existing drains or sewers, the water at present carried into any existing outlet shall not be diverted therefrom.* Thus Edin burgh is bound by statute to convey the collective im panties of its citizens to certain neighbouring pro- prietors. We challenge the whole history of feudal slavery to exemplify a a thirlage " so ludicrously stringent as this: modern refinement could alma have invented it. Tnigas has been pleading, in his Droit de Propriete," that the foundation and first development of property is in every human banes unlimited power over whatever proceeds from himself. Oas would, suppose, after all, that this ia the best vested right. Had the public interest—had justice—dictated the application of the valuable material thus taken we asel= of, it would not, in the first place, have been made the property of grasping individuals, but of the citizens of Edinburgh, to whom it naturally belongs : it would not, in the second place, have been deposited in a spot where it would have been offensive to its proprietors, the citizens, to whom comfort and health constitute ptorrty still more valuable. Following the example of these operators on a large scale, several other people have here and there, in the other environs of Edinburgh, opened sewers and spread the contents of them on their fields and gardens. The system cannot be pursued where there are rising grounds, but all the declivities and low flats around Edinburgh through which sewers pass appear to be well saturated. Near Merchiston Castle—'hose who are acquainted with the localities of Edinburgh will remember the seat of Nal ier, the inventor of the Logarithms—there are many picturesque walks rendered unendurable in the summer months, when they would be most pleasant, by the foetid vapour of the sewage, spread over a multitude of small fields. The same miasmatic nuisance hovers over the district fall of old fruit-trees, stretching from the Zoological Gardens towards Leith and Newhaven. Perhaps these petty appropriators might be more easily defeated by the law than the legislators whose example they have followed ; but it is not improbable that the guardians of the public interests might be reluctant or ashamed to spread nets for the small which they know that the great can break through. ITALY. PIEDMONT.—The following is from a correspond ent at Turin : . . Tra!N, OCT. 14 —The news of the insurrection at Vienna, added to the effect already produced by the previous announcement of the successes obtained by the Hungarians over the Croats, has thrown this city, generally so tranquil, into a state of commotion, which was accompanied last even ing by a popular demonotration of a very significant cha raeter. At an early hour of the evening the spacious Pima chi Castello, the principal square of the city, where are situated the king's palace, and the offices of the ministers, was filled with an immense multitude convened by the news just received. This immense assemblage was studded with groups, or rather crowds, in which was dkused, with more than usual animation, the political aspect of the country, and numerous cotes for " war " were uttered under the king's windows, and re-echoed vociferously throughout the square and prinetpel streets leading to it, which were traversed at various times by parties of well-dressed persons mixed in the crowd, who led and excited the movement. " War," or " an honourable peace ! without any further delay !" were clamorously demanded. The news from Vienna and Hungary had inspirited both the Piedmontese and the numerous bodies of refugees from Lombardy and other parts of Italy, who are at present in Turin. But the principal and most striking feature of the movement was the part taken in it by the Piedmonteee soldiers, who, to the number of many hundreds, were intermingled with the crowd, and who joined them in their trial for " war," adding, " or a return to our hormis !" This is the more significant es the soldiers of the Piedissontese army generally abstain from all peblia demonstrations in unison with the citizens, and aped ally with the refugees, most of whom were lately soldiers in the Lombardisn and other volunteer corps. The demonstration continued till a late hour ; crowds perambulating the town, uttering the same cries, albeit abstaining from acts of vio lence. The parliament is convened for Monday next (the I 16th instant), and the revolutionary or war party are pre paring for the animated debates which will inevitab:y ensue, FM test cud into for, Mel r•u atmu list warn gran arm: thej flow abili fact and refs Frei nor the pnl nee the lie Vel the ne , Be ste els Hi
