The officers of the one, and the clergy of the other, consist of two clause:, the working, the subaltern, and the ill-psid, on the one hand, the wealthy and well-connected, purchasers of rank and monopolisers of good things, on the other. Nothing ran be more miserable or underpaid than the lower ranks of the army or the church. Nothing can be more parapeted or worthless than the man of connexion, who leaps into his prebend or rich living in the church, or than the same person who gets his pair of epaulettes with out service, and qusliiie4 to b 3 governor or C3M louder of garrison or colony. Nothing can be more convenient for the defence of these unequal and abusive systems than this contrast. Attack the wealth of the church. and the number and poverty of its curates are flung in your teeth. Talk of the accumulative salaries of generals, and the per quisites of clothing cohnels, and you are referred to the subaltern, who lives on seven shillings a day, far which perhaps he may have paid even six or seven hundred pounds. It would be more fair to divide Sias into three classes—the poor and working stelishsrn, the highly-connected officer who runs up the leader by po3tical or aristocratic interest, and the officers well, bat not highly-connected, who make the army an investment, who purchase as far as their majority, which they nevertheless spend a life in obtaining, and who recite with that rank. This monied military class does certainly not derive any very great profit from her Majesty's treasurT. Considering their risks. one cannot say that the interest which they get for their money, joined with a salary for their services, is too much. We think, indeed, that both classes, the drudge officer and' the purchasing officer, have much to complain of—all the prizes of the service riming from them, with very few excep tions, to officers blessed with aristocratic or political soonexios. When reformer?, therefore, complain—as they have every right and justice to do—that the army is a nursery for the younger sons of the aristocracy, they by no means pretend that all the officer are of that class. Far front it; there is work to be done—work not to be expected from such tender striplings. Then as only the top places of the military establiah meat are worth look ing to by such a class, of course no greater number tr the army than may be pretty sure of getting up Soso lofty roosts. The eons of the aristocracy do net emstitute the tu 'must of the army. There are the eempiternal and stationarysubalterns, the adjutant deft mask worm off than their fellows in any army sf Imps. And there are year men of wealth, who pay their way up to the rank of field Ours, but who having no connexion or chance for a higher stride, retire to their club or their watering- OM at last to grumble, when the twentieth Lord Tow NODDY his walked over their heads. Such is the system by which the English govern ment sapplies and advances its officers, a system the most aristocratic, the most inefficient, the most ex pensive, and the most unjust, that it could enter into any man's mind to imagme. Were it not for the high and gallant qualities which compose the staple of the English mind, such a system could not fail of pro ducing perpet uall ineptness and disgrace. And it in impossible to imagine anything more unfavourable to the development of military talent It is easily conceived how very reluctant govern ment must be to reduce a corps of officers thus com posed. Perhaps not one third of these officers are r eally of the working officer class, and they cannot be dispensed with. Then, the TOY NODDIES cannot be checked in their career, whilst that portion of the officer body which represents capital, it is for other reasons inconvenient to reduce.

MAY 30. 1849. wondered at if a redaction to conciliate parliament should be found, as Mr. COBDEN described it, to be ten pc r cent. of soldiers aid two per cent. of officers ? ' The Times professes an anxiety, most neural and intelligib:e, to have this subject of military expendi tors and organisation discussed exclusively in parlia ment, and as little as possible in the country. The two great classes of officers are, in fact, more or less of parliamentary c3nut 'ion. A reformer cannot make a remark without seeing a military belt or a sword-knot pceping nut in rejoinder. Mi litary expenditure is 'Ake the ballot or triennial Parliaments, a question ta int which thre,-fourths ef par liament are personally ereeted, and interested against economy and against what should be the po pular aim. Men may roar their lungs . out in the House of Commonsbefine they make any impression; the " services are there in power ;" and it is only by enlightening the country, by informing the non-nti'l tory aid tax-paying climes, that any thing like reduc- Ilea se readjustment can be arrived at. Financial reformers, therefore, cannot follow the advice of their antagonists, by confining their efforts la a conversation got up at the fag end of a session, at moments when not three score members are °Dogre -1 Owl there. These may be very canvenient ministerial Imamate for passing estimates, or large instalments of estimates; but were discussion limited to such mo gnats, such company, tb e country would learn little and profit less. If, indeed, there be one subject in which the country at large isalled to busy and inform itself, it is this question of expenditure, and, above all, of those great items of military expenditure which can swell by a million a yea-, during ten consecutive years of profound peace, parliament blindly en couraging such financial suicide, whilst the countl , remained in utter apathy and ignorance of the leak which the vessel bad sprung, and which was fart sinking it. ToomEvAitA was seven &ye ago a populous and busy village in the mart of Tipperary. It contained some thriving trader., and a considerable number of artisans lab were, a n d holders of small farms in the neighbourhood —as a community, not much removed from the ordinary condition of those around them, but fir from being identified with the destitute dwellers in the hapless regions which famine and dis ease have marked out for their own. A few comfort able houses might be teen in each little street, the rest of the habitations being of the prevailing sort in ell the smaller towns of Muoster—cabies built in part of stone and in part of clay, and rooted with thatch. In this humble and remote village there dwelt a week ago several hundred fsmiliee. Their number had been recently augmented by the extirpations which had taken place from properties adjacent of the poorer class of tenantry. Many had emigrated, many had sought refuge in the workhouse, many bad perished,but some had sought and fund shelter in the lowly, but not inhospitable, cabins of Tocmevara, where they awaited opportunities of shifting to other quarters abroad, if not at home. As in all communi ties of the size and sort, there were doubtless acme lees tractable end docile tempers than the rest. Some there may probably have been less ready with punctual rack rent than landlord economy might desire. We have seen it stated that two individuals were guilty of eLtering . legal defences to actions of ejectment brought against them, on two several occasions; and it has even been insinuated as a proof of the savage spirit of the people of the place in general, that one of them was known to keep—a bell-dog ! But admitting fully all that may be reasonably in ferred as to the forensic and ferocious character of certain persons from their indulgeree in such un heard of practices as are thus indic_ted, we think it will probably be confessed by all who read the narrative we published yesterday of the circum stances that took place in the ill-fated vi:lage alluded to, that the bulk of its inhabitants were neither a very lawless, very resentful, or even a very impatient l or easily exasperated people. We venture to affirm that in no other country of Chris.endom could such a series of transactions have occurred at intervals during the same day on the ume spot, without a desperate and sanguinary struggle,—unless indeed the executors of the stern process of law had been backed by an over whelming force, which here does not seem to have been the case. Between dawn and dusk, on Thursday last, one hundred and thirty herniae., consisting of five hundred and sixty-seven individuals, were forcibly driven out of their dwellings in the village we have named; ard, lest they should regain a temporary shelter in them, they were in one or two instance' made fast against intrusion, while all the rest were on the same day levelled to the ground! Not a blow was struck, not a life of the authorised destroyers was put in jeopardy. The streets of the weeping village were piled with the broken turniture and scattered bedding. of the outcasts. Childhood's cry and the wail of age, the moan of sickness and the stifled sob of manly strength, minrled as they rose accusingly to heaven from that revolting scene. Ore sturdy and half-frenzied man, who was not in any way a defaulter, was seen to kneel amidst his weeping family, as if to call down imprecations upon the =ju dos and cruelty of which they had been made the =offending victims; but his wife's hand covered hie lips, and her prayer was that the authors of their matey might be forgiven. In the ditches along the roads& in the outskirts of the town, num bers might be seen hastily putting up such temporary huts as the ruins of their former habitations supplied them with the means of constructing ; and in these kennels—for to give them any better name were mere affectation—scores of families, we understand, now lie. A few bailiffs, smiled by a small party of police, executed, under the orders of the sheriff, these memorable deeds. Yet hardly a symptom of violence was betrayed, and the constabulary were only called on to interfere on one oxaaion, when a new occupant was supposed to have emne to take possession of one of the evacuated houses. But the reproaches of the exterminated were soon silenced, the bustle of destruction gradually subsided ; and their work being done, the ministers of justice departed, leaving nearly half the ground on which Toomevara had that morning stood a heap of dust and ashes.. Well might Sir ROBERT PEEL, when lately treat izzieflike scenes in another part of Ireland, ask rin Algeria or in ficinde, after the march cf simpering armies, anything worse could by possi bility be found ? Bat the scenes of Balling to which Sir Rosner PEEL adverted had not the feature which chiefly characterizes the evictions of Toomevara. The five hundred and sixty-seven persons evicted on Thursday last were all either the tenants or sub tenants of one man, and he was a clergyman of the established church ! What comment should we add? What comment can add anything to the naked narra tive of these fearful facts? What an epitome of national misery and misrule is here ! Talk of tranquillity, talk of security for property, talk of safety from revengeful crime ! Why, what ex pectation is it rational to form that any of these indis pensable conditions of progress or prosperity will ever be lasting when such accumulated hardship and undis criminating cruelty as this may be perpetrated under the sanction of law, without anyotherremedyor redress than such as sounds like mockery in its very name ? Until some means be Lund to staunch such frightful wounds as any reckless individual of the all-favoured class in Ireland may at his individual caprice inflict, parliaments and statesmen may promise peace, but there will assuredly be in Ireland no peace. Wa suspect that the owners and occupiers of land in England will only become aware of the fell im portance of self-rehance after a somewhat sharp period of probation. At present they do not exhibit much comprehension of their position or knowledge of their means of improving it. The crops of lest yesr having been greatly deficient in the southern half of the country, and free importation of corn hasprevented famine prices. That much and severe distress has been the eons-pence smongfarmers, evecially where too little capital is employed, cannot be questioned. But does any rational man suppose that to restrict the importation of grain could remedy that dis- tress P Or it it could, can any one in his sober senses believe that the community would lister to a pro posal foe re-establishing the food•monopoly? Yet we fled that "clubs" are formed in some of the western counties for effecting such public objects as "the im position of a fixed duty on foreign corn and cattle." But mixed with such unattainable objects are others, of a more real and practical character. Such is the case in Hampshire, where a society called " the Hampshire Agricultural, Industrial, and Electoral Protection Society," bas been formed. Several ef the defined objects of this society strongly mark the die. tiection between this and the old " Protection Soci eties" which have become by-words even amongst the protectionists *bem-elves. The first object of the new society is to adopt means " for tendering the list of vot re accurate and complete, and for taking such measures as may protect the elector in the independent exercise of the franchise." Here we have at once a sign that the society is something different from the emanations of the Bond-street clique. The indepen dent exercise of the franchise by county electors is about the last thing the Duke of RICHMOND and his land-agent hangers on would promote. Then thefourth purpose is to enforce " the most stringent economy in the gereral expenditure of the country"—a purpose quite sufficient to drive away all genteel protectionists. But the sixth purpose must be still more alarming to the squirearchy ' • it is " to obtain for the ra t epayers such a share of the management of the county and other-local rates as may control the lavish expendi ture which has hitherto been indulged in." Now, if the farmers and their friends do join a society having such practical objects as pro'cction for independent electors, reduction of national expenditure, and control over local rates, they will very soon learn the absurdity of wasting their efforts to restore the corn tax, and will concentrate their power upon the more truly useful and attainable purposes of their association. Whether the farmers, as a body, have as yet enough of independt nce to carry such a society may admit of some doubt ; but that there is amongst them a growing desire for political and social emanct• pation is certain. Thus we find that in Wiltshire clubs of the same sort have been either formed or at tempted to be establishsd. There is one at Swindon ; and, at a meeting in Marlborough, Mr. WILLIAMS, farmer of the neighbourhood, while advocating & renewal of protection, thus referred to the action of the existing Protection Society. You term it a Protection Society ; but what have been the effects it has produced ? Yen have fancied that you have done a Streit deal by holding county meetings and getting up subaeriptiins—by mending deputations to London—by getting the Dake of Richmond to take the chair—by mating forth a demons ration in Willis. rooms, and by kicking up an ora tion—but what has been the result of it all? Why, that when you have tone it, the House Me of Commons and the an chester School have laughed at it. With the exception of a few farmers, there are pro bably not half-a-dosen men in the kingdom who were not fully aware from the first that the Bond-street Society was a mere sham. The society proposed to be formed, says Mr. WILLIAMS, "has a totally dif ferent object ; its chief business will be to see that our representatives do their duty, and that oar interest in the House of Commons is properly represented r and he added : I think we must all own that the Protection Society has been a perfect failure. If that, then, is the case—and I be lieve no one will deny it—is it not high time that we should try some other means of making our voices heard in the legislature? Now, one of the chief objects of our little clubs—which are cot intended to extend beyond the county, in cyder that their whole force may be brought to bear upon the different localities in which they are established—one of our chief objects, I say, will be to go a-head at the registra tion—to look to every individusl voter in the borough in which a district club Ls tstabli.hed, and to ask each this qaestiou "D s you sympathise with us in the position in which we have been placed? If you do, will you join us in endeavouring to rut things upon a proper footing r Our course of action shall sot be offensive, but it shall be bull-dog like, and such as I defy the aristocracy of this country to withstand. And let the aristocracy look to them selves. Knowing as we do the farmers of that district, we believe, that though many may sympathise with the speaker, few will dare to join the society he proposed to form. Nor is it likely to be very influential so long as the object of reimposing duties on foreign grain is persisted in, for it will never have aid from the trading chests of the district. But it is some thing to are the farmers attempting to create for themselves a political status. Very short time will prove to them that protection is gone for ever, and a moderate share of experience will convince them that they are powerless when apart from the other indus trial classes. Then they will cordially join with the trading classes to effect these changes in the repre sentative :system by means of which alone can general and local financial reorm be obtained. It is not, however, enough for farmers to pay some attention to public questions and to the political con duct of their representatives ; they most seek indi vidually to bec , me independent. They must make each contracts for their farms as 'will enable them to think for themselvt s, and act upon their own convic tions. They must demand the security of leases, and resist to the utmost the insertion of restrictions and reservations which often render an agricultural lease a mere trap for the tenant. They must not be satis fied with the eleemosynary abatements of rent, which some of the provincial papers are recording as " liberal" and " generous acts on the part of the landed proprietors. What are redactions of ten or twenty per cent.onthe rent,when the tenantscan only be sure of holding for one year? Farmers may now be certain that prices in this country will be moderate and steady, and should act accordingly. They should see what is necessary to enable them to grow more produce at a less proportional cost,and then determine not to hold or take any farms unless they do so on terms and conditions such as will enable them to act like men of business. Landowners are not wholly to blame for the unsatisfactory state of the relations be tween landlord and tenant in England. Tenants are greatly in fault. They submit too readily to the cap in-hand system, and consent to place their capital at the mercy of the landowners in a way that is truly puerile. Let farmers make their own share of their bargains for securing to themselves safe tenures, and they may then quietly exercise their electoral franchises in accordance with their own opinions. of GERMANY. FRANKFORT.—Our cor FRANKFORT, writes : MAT 25. • The muse-gui-pout principle of the Gagern party is dericed to lead to results, which it is as yet lao easy task to foresee. There are scarcely two opinions respecting the last act of Gsgern ; even the good citizens cal it a pis ce of cowardice. If we compare the fine words of the noble leader of the citizen party with Ois act of despair; if we remember that in one of the late discussions Gagern said :—" If civil war breaks out I will cast myself on the points of the bayonstAs ;" if, again, we call to mind that M. Masser, the second leader of his phalanx, and who saved himself b4ore the fight, said " The graver the danger the fuller shall be these benches" (turning to the right), and yet he has fled like the rest—it would be difficult to explain all these contradictions, and behind the scenes there are assuredly bearings and influences which no common eye can see. A portion of the Right was from the beginning sold body and soul to Prussia. Another party behaved from the first that the sole vocation cf the National Assembly was to make a constitrion, as a body of caveats might be summoned by a prince or a people to make one. These two parties of the Right would desire nothing better than to fly before the first resistance they encountored. But Gagern belonged to neither of these parties. He was the skil ful leader who would move on directly towards the aim in view—to wit, a German empire united (with out Austria) under the imperial crown of Prussia. On the first show of re•istance he got himself summoned to Prussic It was one of his adjutants who organised the civic resistance at Cologne. But when the movement became serious Osgern became frightened. He dr sired agitation ; but he foresaw a revoluuon, and drew back. Throughout Germany there are two parties in the movement—the Gagern-constitutional-citizen party, on the one hand; and on the other, the republican party. The Gagern party at first made no distinction between its own friends and the republicans; but ere long the latter progressed somewhat more rapidly than the friends of Gsgern. When the King of Prussia declared that he would aid all the princes in their resistance to the Constitution of Frank fort, he at that moment declared war sgainst the National Assembly. When the King of Saxony, on the strength of that declaration, 'summoned Ptirran troops to fight against his peo ple, who wished to force him to adopt the Frankfort constitution, then the Kings of Prussia and &zesty openly made war against the German people, as re prevented by the National Assembly of Frankfort. The duty of Gsgern and his party was clearly indi cated. All Germany awaited the word of commend from Frankfort, and Frankfort was silent, and drew back. They had succeeded in making the leaders of the bourgeoisie fear the movement in which they had engaged. At Dresden a republein was a member of the provisional government. At Leipsic the bourgeoisie declared itself against the movement in Dresden, and from hat time the entire bourgeoisie of almost the whole of Germany has been 1 sing conVenco in its power; imagining that there remain but two alternatives to choose from,—the arbitrary power of king., and the anarchy of the solial republic; and yet of tb's bour geoisie there are 100 for each repubican ; it supplie. the landwehr, the administration, the commerce, the industry of the state—e'est lout! All Germany has been deo- ived in Gagern, for had he been a man of energy and los lotion, he would have broken down the resis'ance of the King of Prussia, without the ne cessity of destroying his throne. Now you will ask what will become of Germany. God knows! But for the moment I foresee nothing for it but either a government of fire or a complete anarcThe hy. parliament is annulled, it seeks to support iteell,bnt the possibility of this seems to me extremely doubtful. Yesterday, it was with the greatest diffi culty that a house of 150 members could be got together in order to decide that in future 100 mem bers should suffice to make decisions valid. Perhaps, to-morrow there will no longer be 100 members. The opposition (the Left) has plenty of talent ; but in order to make mt n of its leaders, there ir, above all thing., need of an opposition on the part of the Right to restrain them. Germany en masse has no great confidence in the Left as an administrative and governmental party ; and it will, therefore, never have the mum of the bourgeoisie in its favour, nor will it ever have the republicans, who re gard the Lift of the parliament as to 3 timid, too indecisive, too parliamentary. Ido not see how, without fresh complications, this Left parliament can work any great good for Germany. There have often bean questions ss to whether our Rump parliament should put itself at the head of the movement in Baden and its Rhenish Bavaria. I think that the people of Baden and the Palatinate would gain ncthing, and that the parliament would lose all its remaining influence. The movement in those two states, by the influence of what there is of rouge in Germany, bee taken that colour in spite of itself. On the other hand, it is said that the people of Baden and the Palatinate have addressed themselves to the govern ment of Paris, seeking its support. This will be looked upon throughout Germany as treason to the country; for the French will, most assuredly, not come to return empty handed, and without having attempted to regain the Rhenish provinces. lf the enemies of France and Germany could get up another war on that question, the liberty of Germany would, for a long period, be lost ; and France would have all Germany on her hands until she should be a second time conquered. Thus, all is 83 complicated and gloomy, that, per haps, we must have the light of cannon to see the i sue, and this, I fear, will not be wanting. BAVARIA.—A letter dated May 21, written from Munich to the Constitutional Genetie, of Berlin, is as follows :—" The Prussian General von Gerlach is here and has communicated the plan for military interven tion in the Palatinate and Baden to our Minister of War. Bavaria and Prussia will act in common; the artillery garrisons of Augsburg and Wertaburg have already received marching orders. It is asserted in high circles that Prussia and Bavaria will put an end to the system of petty states." HESSE DARMSTADT, MAT 25.—Fearful dis order* have taken place at' Lanterbach, on the Baden frontier, which painfully recall recent scenes in Vienna. A popular meeting has been called; the President, who interdicted it, went to the place of meeting to forbid the assembly. He was received with gross insult., and while in the act of reading the riot act. was shot through the body by ' some cowardly fellow who was standing behind him. Not content with this, the barbarous multitude dragged the scarcely lifeless body on the ground, and completely mutila'ed it with clubs and hatchets. The gen d'armes who accompanied the prince was seized by the multitude and thrown out of a window ; happily, however, he was only slightly injured, and effected his escape. Upon this the Hessian infantry made a desperate attack upon the insurgents, whom they dispersed, killing 50, wounding a great number, and making 123 prisoners, who were taken to the prison at Mayence. Among them was Fusth, the ringleader of the insurrection, and president of the Democratic Assembly. The troops had three men mortally wounded, and others slightly. The blow re ceived by the insurgents on this occasion has produced such an impression here, that the rebels have removed their outposts above a league, and the Hessian divi sion of troops is animated by the beet spirit possible. A proclamation will be issued to-morrow, forbidding all popular assemblies. The meeting at Lanterbach was composed of not less than from sin to eight thousand men. The Hessian chambers were dissolved yesterday. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. SCHLESWIG- HOLSTEIN, MAY 24.—Fridricia still holds out. It is a military order that the city shall be bombarded every day from three o'clock till seven. The bursting of the bombs often occasions conflagrations at three or four different parts of the city at the same time, and the Danish firemen have enough to do to extinguish the fires. Nearly all the inhabitants appear to have quitted the city, and if even it either surrenders or is taken the Germans will acquire nought save a mass of rubbish. The negotia tions are still pending. THE NEW YORK THEATRICAL RIOTS. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday, May 12, the coroner held an inquest on the bodies of the men killed in this unfortunate affray ; Caleb S. 'Woodhull, mayor of the city of New York, said, I was informed that there was likely to be a disturbance in the theatre in Astor-place on the evening of May 10. I sent for the recorder and 1 gentlemen to meet at my office at 11 o'clock. The recorder, the sheriff, the chief of justice, G. W. Mansell, and Gen. Sanelford, the police justices, with Mr. Niblo and Mr. Hackett, all came. I inquired f Mr. Niblo, the proprietor of the theatre, whether they were going to perform ttat night. He replied that they had put out their bill, and proposed to do so. I then inquired of the gentlemen present what the probabilities we re that there would be a disturbance, and what would hkely be the extent of it. Some of them said that they thought there would be a disturbance. Conversation then pared, and the means to be used to suppress any disturbance was talked of. I in quired of the chief of police whether the civil force would be sufficient. He said that he thought it would not. I then asked him if he thought the military would be required. He steel that he dimwit it would. I then put the question to each person individually, whether, under the circumstances, an order should be issued ; they all answered in the affirmative, except Gen. Sandford. Gen. Sandford said that it was not his business to advise on the subject, but to obey the order, if one was issued. The order was issued, and delivered to Gen. Sandford's son. The order was a general one. The number to be called out was left to Gen. Sandford. Some con tion was had between myself, Mr. Niblo, and Mr. Hackett, up in the sub ject of closing the theatre. I stated to Mr. Nible that, as a magistrate, I bad no authority to interfere with his esta blishment, but my private wishes were that he should close his theatre on that night. They seemed to think that they ought not to close their theatre, bit that the magis tracy should protect them. Instructions were then given to the Chief of Police and to Gen. Sandford to take such measures as the case might require. About nine o'clock I went to the Opera House, and saw an immense multitude of people about the hotter, both inside and out. I went into the building, making my self known at the door. I inquired what was the state of things, and what they were doing. The general's answer was, that there was a large force outside, the windows and the panels of the doors were broken in, the military were outside, and it was stated that it was with great difficulty the mob cou'd be kept out of the theatre. The chief stated that it was doubtful if he cculd protect the home with the force that he had, but that he would do the best he could, and stated that his force were behaving well, and doing all they could. After being in the house about 15 minutes, General Hall came in and stated to me that unless I gave orders to ,to tie fire,t itt `sacral rl; lit u men would see.' dleave the ground. The general said he Gal bees elands with Stang on his head and on his body. There was blood running down the left side of his face. The general said that his men would not stand and be stoned to death with arms is their hands. Finally he said to me, " Mayor, you must give the order, or all my men will be killed." My answer was, "General, wait a little." Nothing further passed between us. He left me without the order. I did not give the order. There was no proclamation read to the people by me. I issued none, as I was not at the time sofa meetly informed of the precise state of facts as to deem it ne cessary. The means taken through the day were precau tionary. After a lapse of about twenty minutes I notified some of the person; that I was going to the New York Hotel. I think I told Judge Mountfort that I should re main at the hot 1 to receive any communication that they should wish to make. I left, and went in company with my brother to the New York Hotel. This was previous to the firing by the military. I remained at the hotel, in company with Governor Fish, until aout eleven o'cick, when the dis turbines apps red + to be over b . I then wea o t home. Gen. Seaford deposed as follows :—After readving the mayor's orders, I crdered one regiment, the 7th, of infantry to amiable at the artillery drill mom, and one troop of light artillery with two 6p: and field pieces, to muster at the arsenal. I directed a small detaehment of infantry to pro tect e pieces. The regiment when assembled, on account of the en, r ness of the no;i:e, consisted of but little ever two hundred men.
