BM COBDEN ON T4R ARMY AND ?RR' Wig.

Whet ere the facts, so far its we have been allowed to gleam them, up to the does of the inquiry before Mr. Ree.- bnak's Committee ? TM following statistics I have deetved bum the valuable appendix to their report : It 'moan that the number of British noon, diens, and dee of all arms who leaded to the Crimea before the bottle of the Alma wee 26,800. At that sigagemeat the Iselisis outnumbered their French allies. On the death of Marshal St. Arnaud, sad after the &sok movement upon Sanitise', Lard Raglan became the senior commander, • apportionleg the ground for siege operatives, *irk ups. himself the same intent of work as was 'salved to Oenerel Cairi.bert's army. From this monnist, seeerdleg to the stance of the highest military authorities Weis the erminittee, on- army began to 'ink ender the effects of overwork. Then came the battle of Ickennans (brought gem we by our exposed "hastier, owing to the smallness of the foam in proportion to our extended lines), which was followed by the still more deadly trench work, elpiesre, aid privations of the whiter ; and the following is the hor rible result of the monthly report of the sict sand wounded of ail any Ic Lord Raglan's army : '1854, October, 11,988 sick and wounded. Nevember,l6,B4B 19 „ December, 19,479 90 1865, January, 23,076 (hungry is the list month for which we have a complete niers.) Notwitistaading the reisforcemests +bids bed arrived from home, ad from our gardenias and clout's abroad, our army was reduced at one time to lees than twelve thousand effective bayonets. That mach of the sickness, and its attendant mortality, uses from the insufficient number of men sent to reinforce our army, is conclusively proved in tLe evidence before the Sebutepol Committee. General Evans and the Duke of Cambridge speak most emphatically to this effect. Accord. tog to the evidence of the letter "it does set admit of a doubt" that if 8,000 or 10,000 men bad teen sent in the cane of a few weeks, instead of the " driblets" which arrived,' great portion of the sickness arising from overwork might have been prevented. And the Duke of Newman, whilst confiessieg hie inability to find men, stated that "the overwork arose from the extent of the lines which bad bees originally undertakes by the English army belig too great fee the reduced numbers." Now it was only from the runs of the people at home that the vast assets crested by destb and disease in est army Gould be filled up; mad I wish to call your particular attention to IL. rate it which, et this very time, enlistment was going on. The followiag is the member of recruits finally approved fee sayslry, infantry, sad artillery : Total in each month. 2,091 November 6,374 „ Dece m b er 18 1, January 6,653 „ February Muck (These are oar I Seal returns.) It will be sees by a sompernen, that whilst our fish sad wounded, seclusive of killed, averaged for the four months, -Oetsbee, November, December, sad Jaunty, nearly 18,000 a month, the sanitise was ring oa at the rate of 'only 6,100 a mouth. It wu admitted by Lord John Hassell is the hew, lest December, that the remain fall shed by '20,006 of the amber vend by parliament. And in the maim of the present year an independent somber piper. lamest asserted, in the presesse of mightier', without ea truilistios, that the deficiency amounted to 40,000. Aid during di this time, when our army was wadies" sway from , want of that smear which the government could not send, " owns "—to quote the evidence of the Doke of New eattle—" to the uswilliegsme of men to add to the extent to whisk the Haste of Commons had iseressed the English umay"--dartag all this time,(l say it cooly as a warning fee the future)—cur wer Journals sad orators were assuring us that the people were far more sager for the war than the goveremest or parliament. I hen said that the reinforcements sent to the Crimea vete defective In quality, as well as inuffienst in somber, mad ince this subject the testimony of the Commander ii"Chinf bet:re the Sebastopol Committee, which I shall give without any comments of my own, is quite eaclusive. Lord Harding' says : " We made our men pretty perfect in drill is the course of sixty day., and when we had to send them out, issued • of bang composed of boas ad muscle, they were almost gristle ;in face, they wen too young." • • • " But when we came to wad in October, November, and December, to pass the winter in the Crimea, our raw re araite—and we had so others—lt was impossible to expect that they could steed the inclemency of the climate, and the hard work in the trencher, in the same manner as a l amine member of soldiers would have done in 1808." • " Give us a good stout men, and let us have him for 60 days to train him, and he will be as good a soldier as you eme have." • • • • "They are thoughtless boys who come in, end not men of 26 ; they are generally boys from 18 to 20; the numbers of that age are very large, in proportion to theme who are past 21 and 22." • • • • • • " The thoughtless boy enlists; the grown-up man of 25 'l. will net, or seldom." I could give "streets from the evidence of Sir De Leey Zees', the Duke of Cambridge, and other officers from the Crimes, confirmatory of Lord Harding.'. statement. And OOP for all let it be observed, that their testimony peens of the plea for a larger standing army daring forty years of peace. " Gin us," says the Commander-ia-Chief, " a good stout man, sad let us have him for 60 days to train MIN and be will be as good a soldier as you can have." But ilia the boos and muscle of men, end not the " gristle" of hem that he wanted for this purpose. In the same spirit was the reply of General Evans, who, when asked by a member of the committee to explain the word " inefficient," which he applied to the releforcements sent to him in On Crimes, and whether be meant that they were " untrained," answered—" nearly untraised, bat that did not signify; they wee too young." These boy-recruits, on their arrival in the winter season in the Cent's, d scarcely any other purpose than to meaner the hospitals. They added se little to the rirsegth of me army that at lesgtb, after enduriag unpsealleled hardships and sufferings, in the vain seneunt te maintain as equality with our Allies, we Inn en dered to them • pest of our posed (that part which has boa the site of the fled triumph), and from that time to the present CUT fora hes been gradually assuming the character of a contingeet to the French army. The evideace Wore the Sebastopol committee brings us down to May oily ; but unfortenately we us not without ender noon that the quality of our recruits has not noes "hanged fur the better.

"We fled," mays Lord Hardier, " that the more you raise the bounty the greater the number of desertion; they make a trade of it."

But, salonthately, opposition to a war by so mesas separates us from its consequences. The safety of the country ; the prosperity of its people; the bards= we may he balled apes to bear ; the probable entities of hostilities; and above all, because involving all, the offset which the policy and nudist of the war may have upon our rho rioter and honour as a nation',-all these are matters of as vital importszee to the opponents se the advocates of a war; awl bean the right they may fairly dabs to call in question not only its polity, bat the weds is which It is settled es.

Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Kr. George Marshall, defended thieprisoner. The court was crowded to mess. Mr. Sleigh _produced the pewee of attorney given by Lord O&M to Realty, and esatemded there was no ground for the charge of forgery. Sir Peter Leone said he should like to hear from the Mae Russell the result of his inquiries. George Russell said—ln obedience to your instructions, I went with the defendant to Milford-road, Old Kent road, and with one of the keys found on his I opened the der. We went in, and I saw a miscellaneous collection of goods, suck ar I was not surprised at, after reading the fetter-book which I took from the defendant. There were the remalas of sasehinery sad other Wags, which looked more like as if a private still had been there. I eseartalsed that he was removing goods to Cairn-plea, Peckham, until the pollee stopped bin. One of Messes. Milser's safes had been rionveyed - thore. Loud Colvin was called, and mose-ezansined by Mr. Sleigh. He admitted his handwriting to the power of attorney, but said it was got from hire by fraud. Sir Peter Laurie pessod some severe strictures oa there who lost goods, sad then were unwillhetie prosecute, when Lord Colvill said they were not delimited by him.

He, however, turned with the greatest coolness, and said, "1 do sot know you." Mr. °ailing, of Storestrest, Bedford-square, said that in 1852 the defendant Radial induced his to sand I.

(Laughter.) He never got his =easy, and would like to prosecute. if he could. Mr. Sleigh sold that he had nothing to do with the charge before the court, as it was only a matter of debt. Sir Peter Laurie said he felt than was not sufficient evi dence to commit the defeedeut, for that no jury would find him guilty ea the testimony produced, bat he hoped the other tradesmen from being vie 7mMirtdr.. would m la us i r:L e in ct isithe complaint.

In times of war the souse of trade cannot possibly um quite u smooth m when pesos prevails ; it is, however, satisfactory that our exports of cotton fabrics have so far not fallen off, either in quantity or value, and lf cheaper prices of breadstuffs did prevail we might men have a prosperous trade, notwithstandies the war.

Ibe country orders are pretty well kept up ; they are especially so from Seotland, with which the trade has been brisk rather than otherwise for several mouths poet ; and, exempt in respect of some of the fancy trades, the demand for our manufactures for the home market is very little below the average. There are some trades suf fering, no doubt ; but in the majority of cases the imanufac toren have a aufileiatcy:of orders to keep the hands pretty well employed. The foreign trade is for the moot pert languid, the American (all orders not baying been quite so I.rge as it was expected they would be ; but upon the whole there is not much cause for complaint. The gun and sword makers are extremely bray, especially the latter, there being some large government ords ts on hand. In the district, ►usiness is brisker tbiut it is in the town, but operations are to some extent checked by raison of the sanity and high price of foal.

The tenor of these discourses was to the effect that these who never work get all the good things of this world, whilst than who labour are in want of the 0001111.11 necesaaries el life. The land, it was stated, was la possession of the doh dose, whereas it ought to be the property of the many, The capitalist, having money at his command, buys up del the ens, sad then charges what he likes for it. The speeches, however, were rou ghly brought to a close, b some hundreds of lads and others, who compered to pelt the speakers end their auditors with heavy clods. After a time, another speaker commenced a violist deestsciation of the government. who, he evened, were pretending to carry on war with Russia, and thug keeping up the price of corn. It they traded in cern with Turkey they could cat it at 265. a quarter, whereas they were paying an enormous dies for corn grown in Rum* whereby that despotic power was benefited. The Rovers meet were deluding the people, and he would recommend petition to be signed upon the spot, praying the Queen to demise them. A gnat fall would then take place in to price of bread, for it was well known that the ministers were keeping up the price is elder to drive the half-sterved artisan sad labouren to enlist la the militia.

The speaker was proceeding is the same strain when gentleman, who had bees to see his brother at the Duke of Somerset's, was seen passing along the park, end he was assailed with some bnadred clods of turf.

Another gentleman received a nears eat over the left aye; end any one who had beat drawn to the spot oat of cariosity, in the garb of a baker, was most tcngbly handled.
