MAY U. ltx shall hope to bear a good dad about Volun• per Corps sad Rise Clubs daring the next few weeks sod month& That elticieat Wanton Rids 'Corps should be organised and trained with all the haste ewmpatib'e with " good speed" is • national 'slaty whom ITO portance we were urging long before Ake chscovery of that fabulous monster—the Doable Treaty—whew jaws ate gaping to devour us, and who to • few weeks will swallow us, boos and all, at a single mouthful. We shall not abandon the subject now merely became that awful apparition his brought a number of raw, noisy, and half-seared . . advocates into the held, who hare done their eery best to make the subject of our national defence* ridiculous, or because the coming of the monster has been heralded in the thunders of prose and in the 'enamel pipes of a lean sod flashy poetry. Daily attempts are made to frighten the nation out of its propriety, by tumid and blustering descrip tions of the appalling and imminent danger to which it is exposed. The Times, in its fine frenzy, sees the whole country already on the parade-ground. " It •' needed," mays ear contemporary, " but one note of " the trumpet to ealiesery man of these islands into the field." lo a abort time the whole of this Tut forte wall be trained and disciplined. "In six mead •• tame we shall beeeldierv, *eery wan of 011." All the soldiers, too, are to be deadly marksmen. " Every ". man of every corps might to be perfect ly certaba that within a short distance of hie rifle no enemy geoid " stand or live." Getting thoroughly roamed with the scent of blood, our contemporary revels is the glorious prospect of an invuior 7 finder adequate provocation, and with an enemy worthy of its " prowess, England wilt be a volcano of destruction . . "to all its foes, far and near. The death-shower " will be hurled from its crest, and the death-stream will roll from its sides,and the one will tall heavier " and the other wider u long as there remains an " enemy in the field." All this of course is mere rhodomontade—rbodo montade, too, not only of very questionable taste and feeling, but, in relation to such a serious subject, neither innocent nor harmless. The whole article on Rifle Corps is such a tissue of misrepresentations that it must binder rather than help forward that important movement. Itsimmense rhetorical exagge rations and suggested facts which are wholly ficti tious convey a totally false impreesion. The whole article is a pros of triumph, as though the work were virtually accomplished when it has all to be done, and will prove no such easy task. The forma tion of Rifle Corps is a practical business to be set about in a serious spirit, and accomplished only by good stow, patient energy, and resolute perseverance. It is no trivial matter to be settled out of hand by a transient fit of me 10-d ramat ic excitement, and a sudden outburst of half spurious and wholly ignorant enthu siasen.The weak and noisy bl uster,the childish clapping of hands and throwing up of caps, is ill-timed and outer place. "Of course, t hers will be volunteering enough' says our contemporary. "It is easy enough to form •• a Volunteer Corps." There is no such " of course" in the matter; nor Is it so absolutely easy to form there corps even under the regulations which General PLP.I. has just issued for that purpose. The regula tions are derived from a law whose provisions are so narrow and exclu,ive as to be absolutely unfit for present use. It dates from a period when the Government had a deep-seated jealousy of the people, and was indeed designed in part to meet the anticipated contingency of a rebellion. This is apparent enough from its special provisions. The members of the company are to be enrolled only under the sanction of the Iced-Lieutenant of the ci.uoty ; and each man is to provide his own a►ms, uniform, sad equipmeate. The officers, too, are to be appointed ►y the Lord-Lieutenant, and will thus is all probability be selected for personal end local reaaeas which have little to do with relative Gums oe merit. Those regulations would do very well for amateur companies of aristocratic sportsmen. But this is not what we understand by Volunteer Corps, nor at all the kind of force the country needs at present. To be really effective, the movement must be s popular one, and the rank and file of the corps wi I therefore necessarily include representa tives of the intelligent trading and artissa Cilliele of the community. Get as many volution, of course, as possible of a higher social grade t bat after all, if the faros is to be is uy adequate seem a national one, these are the classes to which we vas look for recruits, and on which we must to a great enema rely. They alone ran make the rifle a national arm," and secure for it the formidable meows which belonged to the old English long bows. With proper and suitable arrangements, this result, we have no doubt whatever, might be brought about. The regulations issued by General PEEL wilt, boa ster. contribu'e little toward* the kesastion of snob a national arid I fretiVi volunteer brie. They will ra , her tend on the contrary to paralyse the movement io this kirection that had already commenced. These regulations restrict volunteer enlistment to those who are tolerably wealthy and well.to-do. At the very lowest the uniform and equipments would cost between twent and th;rty pentode, and very few actin" young men in bovine,* have this sum to apse*. obvioa.ly the necessary expenses of thaw who enrol themselves ought to be gas nuitesd. Tbey volunteer ali they have to give— their time r sad asap, sad and sorely this is sufficient. They might mot to tie rejected became they hats no deport ia ll* bank, no store of ready moony by them. We hops, then fore, that some more suitable and effectual proviiior will be wade by the Government for the formation .4 Voluntesr Corps. If well orgabived and well trained they would prove at once the most simple, effcnive, and permanent means of national defence the country could possibly possess. Regular training is absolutely neomeary to the effleisniy of Volunteer Corps. Mtn firing at * mart will not do. Riffs Clubs for this purport might Do doubt be formed at once without modal sanction from the Government. Thos, though of emus much better than nothing, woad be, bow. ever, by no means sufficient to make the men di sisal soldiers. Rifle Corp. are mainly useful as skirmishers, and all who have considered the subject know that skirmishers require more individual train ing, intelligence, and self-reliance than those who fight shoulder to shoulder, whose duty is to 'Ames, stand firm, or retire by direct command alone. The skirmisher is frequently called to act on his own judgment, and should thus know something about tactics, both in principle and practice. The best instructed and most intelligent men are best fitted for the special duty that would fall to the lot of Rifle Corp.. This instruction can not be pined unless the men undergo regular military training. The existing provisions exclude the very class of which Volunteer Corps must be principally composed. The result obviously will be to arrest the formation of such corps, and this bee actually happened at Hastings, amongst other place.. SIR JOHN "'ARINGTON AND SIR MIMS ORAHAM.

" The Emperor still remains at Alessaadria, where his head-quarters are established. His imperial Majesty is in excellent health. Prince Napoleon has remained at Genoa, in order to organise his corps d'armle, part of which is expected from Africa. It is believed that in eight days this corps, the destination of which is not yet known, will be ready to take the field." "TURIN, MONDAY, MAT 16. " The official bulletin, published yesterday even ing, announced certain movements of the Austrians from Stradella towards Voghera. " Nothing new has been published to-day. "The weather continues rainy." The Nord thinks everything portends that the first action will take place at Mortars. The Duke of Chartres is at Casale is General Cialdini's division.

"The Emperor has transferred his head-quarters to - . Alessandria. He traversed the town on horseback, aeoompanied by General Canrobert. The 'treats presented the appearance of a fete day, and great demonstrations of joy in honour of the imperial cortige were made by the people. " The King went to meet the Emperor." TURIN, SUNDAY.

The session of the Prussian Chamber closed Saturday with a speech from the Prince Re gent. His royal highness alludes to the principal measures of the session, and congratulate' the country upon the loyal spirit in which the parlia mentary regime is condacted. The speech then adverts to the war in the following terms : " The war, which the constant and loyal efforts of my government have failed to prevent, has broken out in Italy. The gravity of the situation required that the army should be placed upon • war footing; and that a measure has also been extended to the navy, for the ulterior development of which you have granted the neces sary mesas. The unanimity with which you have voted the large sumo required by the eventual mobi lisation of the whole army is • fresh proof of the pa triotic spirit that exists in the country. Receive my warmest thanks. The nation has exhibited equal zeal. All the reserves and the Landwebr have m umbled joyfully under their flags. The atti tude of the army and the spirit which animates it fill me with confidence. What ever may be the events the future may produce, I know that when the country calls for its service., it will not fall short of the military valour and ex plaits of our fathers. "Gentlemen, Prattle. is determined to keep watch over the hues of European right, and to defend the equilibrium of Europe : it is her right and her duty to protect Germany, and to guarantee its safety and its national interests. She will abandon to no other the guardianship of these benefits. Prussia relies upon all her German confederates to unite firmly with her for the accomplishment of this task, aed to place confidence in her eagerness to act for tho com mon country. " It is a entail moment, gentlemen, in which you return to your homes. May Almighty God ex tend his protecting hand over our beloved country. May he grant the prayers which we offer up for our dear King and ruler. Join with me in the cry, Long live the King.' " The whole assembly rose, and repeated the cry three timer. The Nord says that the allusion in the above speech to allowing no other power to assume the defence of German interests, refers to an incident in Thursday's sitting of the Germanic Dist. On that day Hanover made a proposition to assemble an army of observation upon the French frontier, and Prussia met it with a direct negative. She bad on the same day agreed to place all the federal fortresses on a war footing. The force in the fortress of Rastadt is to be com posed equally of Prussian and Austrian troops. AUSTRIA.

It is known (says the Paris Press.) that the Aistrian military operations are planned at Vienna by the Anlio Council, and that the generals execute them, nth as they are, with scrupulous exactitude. The orders and counter-orders are often inopportune in their arrival and doubtful in their meaning, as was the case so frequently daring the Italian wars at the close of the last and the beginning of the present century. In 1849 it was only the obstinate deter mination of Iladetaki to remain abut up in Verona, _ _ notwithstanding the repeated orders from Vienna enjoining him to fall back upon the Tyrol, which saved the situation of Austria in Italy. The Indipendente of Turin states that a female spy has been discovered in that capital by two of Garibakli's soldiers. At Tortona (we read in the Turin correspondence of Le Nord) the pillage by the I.llllane has been in every way worthy the soldiers of Attila. The shops have been broken into and rifled, and the Croats have carried off all the cattle they could find. At Ines, in the evening, these Vandals marched howling through the streets, and fired off their muskets at the doors and windows. The Bishop has had a ransom of 15,000 franca im posed on him ; some say of 35,000 francs. The offi cers regard all the actions of their men with the utmost indifference. At Castelnovo, Salvia, Vises solo, and Pontecurone the same exactions and the same acts of vandalism have been perpetrated. Doubtless it is to chronicle these honourable successes that the Austrian Gazette publishes the following: " Our troops are highly satisfied with the recep tion they have met with from the Piedmonteee people. At the same time how admirable and exemplary 1.1 the discipline of our army." A letter in the Priem bean oat the statements above quoted, and adds: The following Is a recital of what took place in one day at Tomas. At half-past eight in the moraleg the Austrians eotwed the town, and Installed themselves is the castle.

A letter from Genoa of the 10th, in the &eels, Gaye : On returuing from Turin I stopped at Aleasaadris, where I saw about 60 Austrian soldiers who had been made psi wows in engagements of wivanoed poste.

The Pays attributes the retirement of Count Buol to the growing influence of the war party in Vienna represented by Feld-Zeugmeister Baron de Her and Count de Grunne, the Emperor'. Grand Rouyn. It is believed that Count de Buol was opposed to the sending of the ultimatum which was the proximate cause of the present war; and it is asserted that the Emperor now imputes to hint the delay which pre vented the Auitnan army from marching upon Turin before the French arrived. The new minister, Count de Rechberg.Rothen lceven, who quits the presidency of the Frankfort Diet to take the office, was ad lotus to Marshal Redeteki in 1848 as civil governor of Lombardy, a post analogous to that now held under General Gyulai by Baron de Bulberg. There is a rumour that General Gyulai has already been superseded in his command by General de Hess, but possibly there is no authority for the report beyond a Vienna letter in the National Gazette of Berlin, which spoke of the nomination as being hourly expected. ITALY. SARDINIA. Glow OUR ITECIAL TURIN, MAY 11. Since my last letter no great changes have cc c•rred either in the French or Piedmontese posi tions. The head-quarters of King Victor Emmanuel are still at San Salvatore. Generals La Marmon and Niel, who command the 4th French corps d'anntie, are with him. The 3rd °ups d'ertnee, under Mar shal Canrobert, is still at Alemandris, but whilst I am writing it may have received orders to move in the direction of Norms, where the Austrians are eon sentrating themselves since their main body retired from Vercelli yesterday at coon, after having left companies of riflemen in guard of the tete-de-pont they have erected. General Mac Mahon, at the head of the 2nd corps d'armee, moved on Saturday towards Ivrea, a town on the Dora Belles, in the extreme left of our line, which wee menaced by an Austrian body of 4,000 men, marching by the road of Seers. This body belongs to the 3rd corps d'armes, which forms the right of their powerful army. The people of the town were ready to defend themselves, animated u they were by thespirited proclamation of Sig. Pecchio, a distinguished Vicentine lawyer, who has been appointed CommissarioStraordinario in that province. The march of the Austrians in that quarter had greatly &termed the good people of Turin, when they were told by the official bul letin, which is printed twice a day, that the avant garde of the enemy bad !reached as far as Cigliano, a small town twenty-four English miles from their capital. This tear has now, however, altogether vanished, since the news received this morning leaves no doubt that the Austrians are tally retiring from their former positions, shortening their too extended lino by concentrating on the Po, which, as you know, seems likely to be the base of operations of the forthcoming Austrian movement.. The growing strength of the French and the determined attitude of the Piednionteee have no doubt warned General Gyulai to change his mind; and I have rea son to believe that he has received orders from Vienna which instruct him to act strictly on the defensive. On Sunday morning, before leaving Aleaeandria, I went to visit • Piedmontese officer who belongs to the Cialdini division. I arrived just in time to follow en amateur this gallant general officer on a rather dangerous errand. He had been instructed to make a sortie from Casale and bring back some news from the Austrian lines. About 4 o'clock we started, but for three mils* not an enemy was to be seen. As we moved slowly on, with • green field on our right, four horsemen rose suddenly above an elevated ground, which from the left ran towards the river we had crossed. One of these men appeared to be an officer of the staff. The others were Kaiser Halm Dragoons. After a while two of them retired flourishing their lancer, pointing them at the bersa glieri, who were advancing on their left. The officer retained his position, and was soon the cynosure of neighbouring eyes. He was about half • mile from us, and through a good telescope which I bought before leaving London, I could watch his every action. He rode slowly along the bank of a narrow stream taking notes with great calmness in • memorandum-book. He wore • dark green tunic with golden stars on its collar, a cocked hat surmounted with feathers of the same colour, sod a pair of gray trousers. As General Cialdini was advancing with the main body of his men the two Helene come back with some others, and spoke to the officers, who speedily left the spot. At the same time we could see before us on oar right a dense cloud of dust, and bear distinctly the report of rifles continued without interruption. We hastened our march, and in half an hoar the Piedmontese column met an Austrian convoy of 64 oxen, 283 cows, 103 calves, 2 sheep, and 10 horses, all which had been taken by the Austrians from various farms of the Lomellina. The booty was osrried triumphantly into Casale amongst the acclamations of the people. Another bold exploit was accomplished by Garibaldi on the night of Friday last. General Cialdini had been informed by his spies that at daybreak General 03 ulai intended to make a reconnoissance in person on Casale. He ordered Garibaldi to be on his guard, and the feet proved that the informatioa was fully correct. At 3 o'clock on the morning the Cacciatori dell' Alpi met the advanced guard of Gyulai, 1,000 strong. The courageous volunteers fired their rifled, and boldly rushed on the Austrians with the bayonet. The Croats could not resist ; nor, indeed, did they attempt to do so. They turned at once, and speedily took to their heels. After this gallant exploit nothing occurred in that quarter worthy of notice. Firing of attaist-postes is going on every day. It is quite clear the two armies are preparing for a great battle ; there are plenty of soldiers for the pur pose. If lam rightly informed, the allied army can already master not far short of 300,000 men ; the Aus trians 200,000. If you were to believe all the rumours which are afloat in Genoa and Turin, you would at once admit that the Austrians are carrying on a war of plunder and extermination. There are facts which are enough to disgrace the Austrian army for ever. The barbarous behaviour which, according to Pied montese newspapers, the Croats have shown daring the occupation of Tortona, is inch that I think it my duty to visit, If possible, that town before assuming the painful duty of bringing them before the English public. I shall do so in my next letter. Austrian spies are passing in the allied camp at every moment. The day before yesterday two were caught near Valeuza, and two at Bobbio. These last are a Doctor Panda Verdi and a Marquis Riva, from Mantua. They are going to be tried by a court martial in Alessandria, and it guilty the fate of Dos ser awaits them. (I , lolt A GENOA, NAT 11. -- Her Majesty's man-of-war Orient left Genoa the day before yesterday, and the Terrible has taken her place. The Terrible, which came from Malts, is commanded by Captain Frederick Glue, a very in telligent offloer, who, I hope, will fully understand how the policy of your ministers has rendered the name of England very unpopular in this country, and act accordingly. It is the duty of our naval officers to soothe, by their conduct, the wound that Lord Derby has opened in every Italian heart. This shameless policy, which, in my opinion, is the die. grace of free and noble England, is carried on with an impudence which seems almost incredible. You may judge it by this fact. Two days ago her Majesty's ship Conqueror, 101, arrived in the port of Leghorn without saluting the national flag. Com plaints were made by the local authority, when the captain's answer was that he acted according to the . instructions he had received from his government. A telegraph was sent to Marquis d'Azegflo, to ask explanations, when the answer of Lord Malinesbury was "that the new Florentine governinemt did not appear to him strong and established enough to be recognised by England." After these facts, what ' wonder if the English name is not very highly spoken of, and if our influence is quite gone in the peninsula.? May the new parliament put things to rights. AILEPfAL Or THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.—Hie Excellency Count de Persigny, the successor of Marshal the Duke de Malakoff as atobanador of Force at the Court of St. haws's, arrived in London shortly after eleven a.m. on Saturday from Parts, accompanied by the Countess de Per sissy. Owing to some necessary repairs at Albert-gab Howes. which will °envy probably three weeks, his ex cellency and the Countess Peraissy intend, in the meantime, to tell= at Wallace's Hotel, St. George's-place, Knights bridge. A Paris correspondent of the Nord says :—" The Emperor Napoleon, a few days before he left Paris, &debtorl a letter to Queen Victoria announcing his approaching de parture, and repeating his promise to take no step daring the war that might compromise the interests of England or the general security of Eurciie. Priem Albert, In replying to this letter, in the name of her Majesty, declared that the English government continued to rely on the spirit of mode ratios of which the Emperor has already given so many proofs." The Colombo Examiner notices the success of the pearl fishery at Aripo. The oysters were selling at 61. to W. 10e. per 1,000, sad money was abundant.

A SHIP ON FIRE.—A fire broke out yesterday out board the Thames, Captain Callender, lying in Brunswick Dock.

She was partially discharged, when, about five o'clock In the morning of day named, smoke was seen to is.us from the after-hrch. Information befog given to the authorities, Mr. Hewitt was soon on the spot, with his engine and fire-brigade, followed by Mr. Barrett, with the West of England, and a number of trendies of hose were coon laid down, commusicating with the vessel. Some difficulty, however, was expertencaxl in reaching the fire, and put of the deck was therefore cut away. She wee then hauled out of the dock into the rein, to prevent the fire spreading among the other shipping, and for greater facility in conducting operations. A copious stream of water was poured in; the leading officials connected with the police fermi sad Bra brigade being present daring the greater part of the day, and the fire was subdued with the almost possible despatch. About five o'clock in the Almon all danger had passed, the c trgo being than coveted with water, end the engines acooringly Wt.
