CALLLNO OUT THE MILITIA. TO TOO RIUTUI OF 111 =FARM lithr—Yermit me heartily to thask yma par pr o mpt and decided opposition to Lord Johadanseil's per poralto rill out the militia. It is grossly uioust that the main bent of the Innen warnence arising tram the invasion panic should be borne relhie of you comparstiiel small oection of the mmunity, con. mc me n co between the ages of 20 and 23, how- Weer convenient ouch an arrangement may be to us who have passed that age. The measure is certain (in the wimp factoring and commercial districts especially) to inflict in. tolerable and irreparable injury upon numbers of those who come under its provisions, unsettling their habits and cir cumstances at the most critical period of their lives. I believe, too, that the esistenee of such a force would have an injurious effect upon both our home and foreign policy, while in case of actual invasion militia would be comparatively useless. I have already written to the two members for the borough in which I vote, requesting them to oppose this bill, and trust that multitudes of the consti tuencies all over the kingdom will pursue the same noun, and as this is the List session of the present parliament, we May perhaps get attended tn. I'rnmptitude and energy arc most needful in opposing this scheme, otherwise our naval and military "representatives " will, at our espense, play at soldiers to their heart: content, and the people will nutter a moat mischievous and nether injustice. I am, ikc., S. 8. T. TO Till EDITOI OP ?US =PUSS. Stg,—Perrnit me, through your columns, to call the at tention of the young men of Engitud to the unjust tax about to be levied on them by this new and unprecedented Militia Dill. Why should young men between the eg,es of Wand 23 , the most important period in a young man s' life, when he is about to reap the fruits of a seven years' ap prenticeship, be selected by the government to serve 28 days a year, at a miserable pittance of ls. a day, instead 01 66. or 1., which he would otherwise earn at his trade, while the )oung men between the ages of 24 and 30 get of scot free ; men quite as strong, and if need be, quite as willing to serve in the defence of their Queen, their country, and Mile homes ? And again. If substitutes an to be allowed, why should the young men between 20 and 23 have to submit to a tax of 101. or 201., while these highly favoured ones a year older, and upwards, should be free of such a tax? It is an unequal tax, and as each mast be re sisted by those whom it concerns; and as we, at such en age, have no property to fight foe, mad therefore no voice in then presentition, our duty is to petition the gemerninent, that the period of eligibility be raised to 30 years, which would lessen the demand on this helpless class from I in 5 to something like lin 15. It this is not demo, tbeetands of England's most useful sees will leave the entry, ember than submit to such ea unequal tax.-1 remain, Om., Y. K. Fob. 13. ME NEW REFOREI BILL SWINDON.

Two o'Ciocw. : Consols opened at 97 to 971 for money and aocouot, being an improvement in yesterday's prices. At the rate already given Consols have remained and been dealt in all the morning, but a statement was lately prevalent that the Bank of England had at their meeting to-day reduced tho rate of discount. In con sequence of this the tone of all the markets improved, and Consols were called 971 to This rumour however did not turn out to be true, sad prices immediately receded. No business was done at the advanced rates. A report of an intention on the part of the Bank Directors to reduce this rate has been prevalent for some time, but we have not thought it right to give it currency, because there were many considerations which were opposed to such a resolution. It is true, that when such a step is taken by the Bank, it will be taken suddenly enough; but, although the rate for money in Lombard-street is very low, and the Bank has a largo share of unemployed capital, it is slow in making changes from which it cannot hastily recede, and there are many circumstances which may influence the rate of dismunt. The share which the Bank takes in discounting is seldom very materially increased after a reduction of rates, and the directors therefore, geserally willing to r on with t h eir and do a little more baßeesenvitbent profit. Whatever the value of money,it must be borne in mind that in a quiet time like this the number of first-clam securities is limited,and that a reduction of rates does not create a greater amount of business to any extent' adequate to compensate dealers in money for the change they are compelled to make. The official report of the business transacted is:— Three per Cent. Consols Annuities, 97}, 97; ditto for Account, 971, 97. Threo per Cent. Reduced Annuities, 97i, I. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, 90, 991. Long Annuities, 7 1-16, k. Bank Stock, 217, 218. Exchequer Bills opened at 58s. to 61s. prem., but have been last dealt in at Is. advance, namely, 595. to 625. prem. The alarm that was created by the absurd proposition of reducing the rate of interest on Exchequer Bills has now subsided. In India Bonds little has been done. The transactions officially re ported are :—Exchequer Bills of the several descrip tions, 585., 625. prem. India Bonds under 1,0001., 695., 71s. prem. In the foreign stock market there has been an unwillingness to operate, but prime have been tole rably well supported in most cases. In Mexican Bonds there have been a few dealings, but these have been at the closing rates of yesterday, 32„1 to 1. Peruvian Bonds are steady, and Grenada Bonds sup port their quotations. In Portuguese a considerable rise has taken place, though on no solid founda tion. Equador Bonds have now receded to 4: 3 , to I, it being thought by some of the regular investers that little good can result from operations having an irregular origin. The large amount of stock proposed to be awarded as commis sion, is, it is to be understood, to be divided between Mr. Mocatta, the agent just appointed, and Messrs. Powles, of B. , , ta, the late agents, who have done nothing, and t us a heavy charge will be unneces sarily laid upon the bondholders. It is satisfactory to know that the advances made for the mission of Mr. Mocatta are to be repaid. The transactions, as officially recorded, are : Brazilian Old Bonds, Five per Cents., Small, 90. Buenos Ayres Bonds Six per Cents., 53. Chilian Bonds, Six per Cents., 103, 101. Dutch Bonds, Two and-a-Half per Cent., 59j, 59; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 921. E quador Bonds, 41, t.

Spanish Coupons, 93 ; ditto, Old Three per Cents., 41 ; ditto New Three per Cents. Deferred, 18j, Venezuela Bonds, 363; ditto, Deferred, 15. The committee of Mexican bondholders have sent as a notiticationcon6rming the information published by us yesterday: That Mr. Fdteonnat hu procured the funds required for the payment of the Jan. dividend, and placed them at the disposal of Colonel Facia, with whom, therefore, the nixes wry arrangements for effecting the payment now rests. The meeting of the Pastern Steam Navigation Companywas held yesterday, when the report, the a yen ' wee reel Ther port of which we have already gi proceedings were merely formal. There have been few transactions in metropolitan Bank Shares, most of which took place at the time of the half-yearly meetings, but there have been several dealings in Colonial Shares.

The rise in East and West India Dock shares con tinues, and they have reached 1483. London Dock shares are better. Transactions in dock stock are 901; East and West India, 1471,1481 ex div. ; London, 121, 122, 1221, ex div. ; St. Katha rine, 811. Peninsular and Oriental Steam . Navigation shares are firmer.

For Gold shares the market is quiet, the dealers awaiting the course of action. in the other markets. The quotations of the non-official list are as follows: Colonial Gold, Zto prem. ; Australian Freehold, 1-16 die. to 1.16 prem.; Port Philip, par to 1-16 prem.; Lake Bathurst,'Quartz Rock, London and Californian Crushing Co., Victoria, Sierra Nevada, and Devon and Cornwall mines, par to 1 prem. A good deal of value attaches to the parliamentary returns showing the relative distribution of our trade in metals with the various countries of the globe, but in this shape the figures come down no later than the sth of January, 1831. For the twelve months ending with the above date the imports of copper ore and regulus into the United Kingdom comprised 23,231 tons from Cuba, 6,988 from South Australia, 5,562 from Chili, 1,563 from Peru, 1,189 from New South Wa1e5,1,033 from France, 946 from Spain, 777 from Holland, 542 from the British East Indies, 482 from Victoria (Port Philip), 400 from New Zealand, and 137 from Van Diemen's Land, besides a few smaller amounts from other quarters, making a total of 45,861 tons. Of copper unwrought, or part wrought (including bars, rods, and ingots), the chief sources of import were as follows, viz. : Chili, 3,326 tons; Peru, 240; South Australia, 218; New South Wales, 42; and Holland-, 56; the total amounting to 4,880 tons. The exports of copper from the kingdom for the same year show our chief customers tote the following states, viz. :—The Bri tish East Indies, which took 6,744 tons; France, 4,649 tons ; the United States, ' 2,539; Holland, 1,542 ; Italy, 1,094: the Hanseatic' Towns, 870; Belgium. 819; Brazil, 374; British gorth America, 330; British Australia, 234; Foreign West Indies, 299. The total export was 21,307 tons of British copper, and 854 tons of foreign produce. In this list it will be seen that the United States hold the third position in point of im portance, but in future years the demand for this quarter cannot fail to experience a considerable diminution as the yield from the mines of the Lake I Superior region, or "Copperdom" as some of th American journals have christened it, become more fully developed. Already large smelting works have been established under the auspices of New York and Pittsburg capitalists, and writers on the other side look forward to the time when the Union will be in dependent of Great Britain for her supply of copper. By the figures given above, Australia is shown to have exported copper ingots in 1850 to a large ex tent; on the other hand, the imports into Great Britain in that shape from the colony are very small. Our view of the diversion of the trade in copper hitherto carried on between this country and the East Indian and other markets is thus strikingly confirmed. ,memaing ow..

The section between Libourne and Angouleme is equally advanced, and it is said that the line from Bordeaux to Angouleme may be opened in about three months from this time. Between Angouleme and Poitiers the works en several points have been emn menced.
