IT is satisfactory to see that in the audit of the satlineteam which is making as a military nation, or 'bowleg that we a!ways are so at heart, there is good rose enough among us to point out the faults and dangers involved in this as in every great enter prise and movement. The gravest fault, and that to which perhaps the greatest n u mberof thecitixens are becoming awakened. is the restricted character of the movement. As far ma it is one of will, intelligence, and desire, it is con fined to no clans or group of dames. The mechanic and the labourer love their oountry as heartily as the peer and the banker ; but opportunity is not affo.ded to them as yet to testify their patriottem in the way which goes to increase it—by personal action. Oa the last occasion of extensive volunteering, the Government was harsh and un loved ; the people generally were distreseed and harassed; and the labouring classes were hungry, igno- rant, and turbulent; eo that arming them was really vete oat of the question. We need not enlarge on the difference now in regard to their relations to Government, and their comparative prosperity and comfort; but we may point out that the classes of mechanics ar.d labonrers are composed of different men from those of the last and the preceding generation. The development of the arta of life his made skilled labourers of a multitude who were mere human mactunes half •century ago; and the intelligent artisan class are as mach more intelligent now than formerly as the labourers are skilled. They are quite am fit to bear arms and prepare for the most etio lation' acts of citizeuship as the volunteers under fetuses ill., and it is coming to be regarded as the grand defect of the volunteer rifle movement. that it produces no visible result beyond the narrow circle of the aristocracy and gentry. While the broader ar►a of the working classes of England is as much interested in the safety of the country and the deterring of invaders as the narrower circle can he. there should be freedom to all alike to learn to defend their homes and the sacred soil of England ; and ttil this is does no wise noes will believe in the perment nce or the effective character of this mode of national defence. If any one wishes tosse what might he dose by a more generous sad patriotic policy in the conduct of the movement, let him lest at what is going ea at the Working Men% College. is Gem'? Ormeadotreet. Oar readers have many • time sympatiiieed, we are sure, with the intellectual and moral movements of that interesting and honour able body of men, from Mr. MAURICF. and Mr. lit,. it t., who preside over the students( the Colley, to the rawest snidest who has presented himself to learn what he can. There is something more to sympathise with now. A Hifie Corps of about ninety members of the rotiege is formed, under the command of Mr. lit known everywhere by his " Toe Blows." Alnitet, every evening half their number may be sees at drill in the garden behind the College, by gaslight, snider the Instruction of • Crimean sergeant. The spirit is the same throughout the body, though the Council are chiefly Oxford or Cambridge men, eler• gyeneo and barristers, and the students are clerks, ahopmen, and skilled artisans. Thews who desire to see the movement comprehend all good Englishmen should give their sympathy to this corps, as an ex peeent of sound patriotic doctrine. The deficieccy in their case is funds wherewith to supply a uniform. There is plenty of readiness at present among that, who cannot join the service to give money. The Working Hen. College Corps ought to have some of it. so as to be enabled to show what they can do, and how tine • sight it is to see men of different ranks, social and intellectual, firmly planted on the, common grouted of religious love of country. This corps. made complete as each an exponent, would originate more, and help to repair the m►in fault of the wboie enterprise. '1 Erre are other defects sufficiently grave. This is sh own by the call from many quarters for a com prehensive organisation, which should enable the nation tad its Government to know exactly what kind and amount of force may be depended on. Such an organisatioo would go far to were that gravity of wind and habits which can hardly Ds looked for while the volunteers associate themselves sedge the denomination of club Wherever that word is mad in the heating of elderly people it mils. s them shriek from Encouraging what they have before seen turn oat so ILL They remember the tipsy loyalty of the volunteer* of sixty years sines. They remem ber the swaggering mirth of the mese, the debt and idleness which mist discredit on the name of volunteer, and are afraid that the present movement will turn out in the same way, a sort of patriotic dissipation, urging the growth of pride and insolence, fatal to sobriety of mind end habits, and going out ere long, after weak ening the moral force of the higher classes, and adding nothing to the loyalty of the nation at large, or the military strength of the country. It needs no showing that the way to preclude this mischief is precisely that which is urged by the friends of the working cluses. Make each body of volunteer* distinctive by its locality, and not by any arbitrary sign, and you give a character of gravity and permanence at once to its constitution. Let all the strong and willing men of a district unite to Ware how to, defend it, and you get rid of the club character ; you preclude the mem sad its jollifice tisas, and mare sobriety by making the humblest sesmiben the measure of the economy of the rest. By the same method you get rid of the evils of exclusiveaess. By the same method you preclude the jealousies which most otherwise arise, not only between different ranks, but between the men of different iocalities, who, while connected in aristocratic groups, will always be fancying some favouritism or another, when the time comes for em ploying them, or bidding them prepare for actual service. Another advantage of so thorough an organisation is that the numbers will be kept up with • steadiness Lever yet witnessed where volunteering was regarded either as a pastime or an aristocratic distioctioz. Instead of gentlemen getting tired, and convinced they sha.l never be wanted, and dropping off till the scheme is at en end, there will be woes sioce, from one rank or another, ea fast m there are secessions by death or otherwise; so that the defence of the country will have every chance of becoming a permanent institution. At present, it is only neces sary to take a day'. journey by rail to become aware i what misgivings are entertained by sensible citizens of Tarim* ts ages and ranks, who do not question the sincerity and ardour of the present movement. The elderly eau tell of early friends and comrades whose ruin dated from the Volunteer mem. Others do not believe that middle-clus men will long devote their time and eserdlce their pleasures; to military train ing, without some assurance that the country will be supplied with a permanent and reliable force, by means of en extensive organisation which shall make every member available, and keep all alike up to their duty. The most certain thing of all is, that there can be no permanent and effectual defence of the kingdom under a scheme which shuts out an immense majority of the strong men of the nation, who have the deepest interest in its preservation from attack. Some of these considerations have been well pro posed in a letter to the Manchester Guardian, which indicates how the present sincere, hearty, and ho nourable enthiniuto may be turned to the noblest account, viz., " by giving to the several corps a local " instead of a sectional constitution ; by making the " divisions between them, as it were, perpendicular " instead of horizontal ; i.e., by composing each corps of MU of all classes in a particular locality, " ►nd thus making each a (sir representative of the " whole community. Nothing would give such " force," adds the writer, with whom we cordially agree, " to the feeling of common nationality, upon " which so mach of our strength depends, as this " standing together, shoulder to shoulder.—thia " hearty recognition among men of different classes ‘' of their equal interest in their common country."

Several independent candidates intend to contest some of the seats now vacant in the Corps Legislatif. At Vire, in Brittany, M. de la Borderie, a legitimist, and M. Theo, a republican, the son-in-law of M. Gamier Pages, have come forward. The Debate publishes, with a short introductory notice by M. Prevost Paradol, an address of a M. Ceased to the electors of the great commercial city of Nantes. At Lisieux, M. Target. tits son-in-law of M. Duvergier de Houranne, is in the field. He wrote simulta neously to M. Onizot ►nd M. Emile Wirer, asking for their ialuence. M. Onizot, who perhaps enter tains a sensitive recollection of some hard hits dealt to him in M. Duvergier de Haurnone's historical works, does not seem disposed to abandon the entirely neutral position which he has long mourned, for the sake of recommending M. Target to the notice of his former constituents of Lisieux. But M. Emile 011ivier at once responded to the appeal made to him, by addressing a letter to a republican elector of that town. As this letter gives a clear idea of the present views and tendencies of the most active and numerous section of the modern republi can party, I subjoin a translation : My Meads and myself would be very math pleased to see the oaadidantre of M.

Savvy, the local Komatsu -general, addremed the jury in support of the indictment. After some ob servations on the enormity of the owe, he proceeded to notice the vandslously negligent manner In which Muse. Lemons had brought up her daughter, allowing her to go out alone into the town, to frequent 'bops in which men were employed, to talk loosely, act bAdly, and read immoral books. He also accused Mims. Lemoine of not having given her daughter any religious etnoetion. 8o negligent was she of her daughter, thit even after she was Informed of the reports torrent shoat her, she did not place any watch on her, and I the ovisequence wee that the relations between the girl and the coachman continued sa before. The pink's conduct had been truly standalone, and by it she had degraded hermit eves below her paramour. Her mind had been formed and her imagination precociously excited by the works of Georges Send, and the "Confessions de Morton Dolortne." These works had taught her to regard marriage as • mistake—the most foolish of soc al institutions. By her favourite and daily reading she learned to admire adultery and the lawless gratulation of the panicles —to resist the impulse of the parkas was to her perverted mind a cares, and thus this child, tossed about without a compere, was lost In an omen of filth. Behr* the judge of instruction ahe attempted to pasties her dietitian, saying, " When I reelieed to myself the mints nature of my fault, my mind fluctuated between shame for having committed it and mists:Lion at having ideated a man who was in a lower social position than spelt." That sophistical sentiment was • quotation from • nerd. Away with it! Lather know and feel that far from raking her accomplice she sank to his level, and even lower. Novels had recently been closely connected with crime in courts of j adios. In a recent celebrated case (that of Leads Chereau is the one referred to), a letter was red with great effect by the prisoner's Gouged, which, from the elegance el its style, exalted the sympathy of the audience.

He described the horrible c des with which the crime was effected, sad Melded that the child had been born alive. He concluded by preeslng earnestly for • oonvlotion of the mother, and by contending that the girl had clearly been her accomplice, and most be convicted also. M.
