William Fraser, 'acceded by Almada Beaton, Esq. and resolved =oakum:sly, That this Committee mat* refrain from expressing their surprise and regret at the hbrtoduction of any measure which, by increasing the growth of Posgigs Sugar, must Inevitably ascend the Slave Trade ; and In the opinion of this Com mittee, if Bridals Capital be lent to Foreign Planters, in the manner in which these is reason to believe it would be, if Foreign Sugar were consigned to Great Britain for refining, ells country will be chargeable throughout Europe with the ctosse.t inconsistency, and will be herself implicated in the yuilt of continuing that traffic in Slaves, tor the suppression t f which enormous sums of money are annually voted by nohow/it.

TEBitßifY. The British army consists at resent of nearly 8,818 cavalry and 95,786 infantry • but of this force 2,804 cavalry a n d 17,312 inf antry are em ployed in the East India Company's territories ; leaving an available force provided for in the esti mates of the year 1830 of 6014 cavalry and 78,474 infantry, or 89,284 men of all arms, in cluding officers. This farce is divided i nto cavalry, infantry, artillery, engineers, and some corps im mediately connected with the two latter branches of the service, as the royal artificers, the artillery drivers, and the royal waggon train. The cavalry on home service consists of the first and second regiments of life guards, and the royal regiment of horse-guards (blue) each of 344 rank and file and 274 horse., with nineteen other regi ments of dragoon guards and dragoons; namely, seven of dragoon guards, three of dragoons, and nine of light dragoons, including lancers and hus sars, amounting to 5897 rank and file, with 4892 horses ; or, including the regiments of life-guards. 6919 rank and file, and 6714 bermes. "In this fent mention, however, the cavalry serving in India, the waggon train, and the Cape corps of mounted riflemen, are not included. The Ist regt. of dragoon guards consists at present of 407 rank and file, and 307 horses; but the remaining regiments of the cavalry of the line have only 305 rank and file, and 263 horses each. The officers and non-commis sioned officers of a regiment of life-guards, on its present establishment, amount to 89 ; of a regi ment of the cavalry of the line, to between 60 and 70. Thus, supposing the latter to consist of 368 privates, divided into eight companies or squadrons, such a regiment would have one colonel, two lieu tenant-colonels, two majors, sight captains, eight lieutenants, eight cornets, one pay-muter, one adjutant, one quarter-master, ono surgeon, one assistant-surgeon, and one veterinary-surgeon, or 35 officers in all; besides 28 serjeants and eight , trumpeters ; making s total of 71 officers and non-commissioned officers, and raising the entire strength of the regiment to 439 men. And the same relative proportion obtains, whatever be the footing in point of effective force, on which the re giment is placed. The British infantry on home service is emu posed of 3 regiments of guards, viz. the Ist or grenadier regiment, the Coldstream regiment, acd the 3d regiment, amounting together to 5104 rank and file ; of 79 regiments of the line, consisting or one battalion each, 740 strong ; of one regiment (the 60th foot) and the rifle brigade, two battalions each ; of 2 West India regiments, the royal waggon train, 2 companies of the royal staff corps, 3 New foundland, and 3 royal veteran companies, the African corps, the Ceylon regiment, and the Cape corps of mounted riflemen ; making a total of 66,240 men, exclusive of the guards. The regi ments of infantry of the line hare only one bat talion as a constant nucleus. When additional battalions are raised, they are employed separately, and commanded each by a lieutenant-colonel. With regard to the colonelcy of a regiment, it is in a great measure a sinecure. The ordinary staff of a bat tallion of 800 men, rank and file, consists of 1 lieutenant-colonel, 2 majors, 10 captains, 12 nea ten •nta, 8 ensigns, 1 paymaster, 1 adjutant, 1 quarter-master, and 1 surgeon with 2 assistants; in all 39 officers. The petty staff is composed of a serjeant-major, a quarter-master serjeant, a pay master serjeant, an army serjeant, a school-master serjaant, 10 colour serjeants, 30 serjeants, a drum major, and 21 drummers ; in all 106 men. Hence the total strength of such a battalion would consist of 39 officers, 106 non-commissioned officers, 40 corporals, and 760 soldiers, or 906 men in all. The force at present serving in India consists of four regiments of light dragoons, each 701 strong, or 2804 in all ; and 21 battallions of inflntry, each 740 strong, or, incl .ding supernumeraries and others, 17,312 in alt. The royal artillery forms only one corps, which isiabsurdly deaominsted a regiment, since in tim e of war, it is increased to more than 24,000 men. Tho Master-getters] of the orduance has the title aid powers of colonel of the agrievent of artillery; the heatimant-general of the ordnance is hest°. naakeolonal sod a general ollemo, with the tid o of doputy-adjutant-general, performs the functions of heed of the artillery staff, brit is in se way depen diet upon the edjutant-genoral of the British forces. The board of the Aepeizr -adjutant -general of artillery is et Weelwich; which may be consi dered the heed-quarters of the Ordnance.— The royal artillery cove consists of the brigade of hers artillery, end of the artillery earvisetes lint. The horse artillery is subdivided IneseaerNaisscalled troops, varying from six to ten. It is a ar the orders of two colonels commanding. two capitains en second, two lientenent-colonels, and one major; irE ii. each newitetay or troop is commanded by a captain of the first rank, a cap tain of the second, and throe lieutenants. The foot artillery Is divided into battalions of tan companies each, under the orders of two colonels, first and se bond, two lieutenani.colonels, one major, one ad Ham, ono quarter-master. I a earceen with two aseleleser is lime er , 'l4e doe during peace. In the year 1792, there wort fear bat talions of foot artillery, of 820 men each, with one of invalids containing 483, making 3707 in all. 1814,there were 16 , 157 artillery-men,forming 11 battalions of 1459 men each. In 1819 there were only nine battalions of eight companies and 638 men each, or 5742 in all; which is pretty nearly the actual strength of this arm. The rocket corps is attached to and forms part of the artillery ; and the same thing holds of the royal artificers, the royal waggon train, and the artillery drivers. A brigade of engineers, consisting of a com pany of sappers and miners, with horses, cars, and *hers, is attached to each division of the army, sod regularly trained and exercised in field duties, well as in those which might be required of them is sieges. A captain and a certain number of su balterns were specially attached to each brigade, and were held responsible for the effective condi tion both of the men and the horses. Five com panies of sappers and miners also served with the pontoon-train, which consisted of 80 pontoons, be sides forges, waggons. &c. drawn by about 800 horse ; the whole under the orders of a major of the brigade of engineers. The portion of the British army presently serving is India amounts, as we .have already seen, to about 20,000 men. The European troops in the company's service consists of 8000 infantry and 4000 artillery ; while the native regular troops are, according to the best information, composed of 10,000 cavalry, 130,000 infantry, and 8000 artillery; and the native irregular force, of 7,000 cavalry and 17,000 i n f an t r y. Our Indian army, therefore, may be considered as amounting to 19,000 cavalry, 168,000 infantry, and 12,000 artillery; or, in all, about 200,000 men. The or ganisation of the native way art W. AU essential respects, the same as that of the British army. SALE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT'.

After suffering sixteen months imprisonment, I was liberated on the death of the late King. But I had not been out of jail a month, before an action far penalties for £3,000 was commenced against me, by the Crown Solicitor. This action Is grounded on an act of our close Council, width enjoins an addition to the securities already entered into by Sailors here. And this addition rustling them higher than those entered into by the rich proprietors of the London Journals, I refused to obey, on the legs! plea that the Council under the New South Waist; Am, ma pass laws divine from those of Eng land, if they go to inkigate their severity, but not if they go to increase their rigour.

Give back to the counties what has been taken front them in the persons of fully qualified, though non-resid e n t town and borough voters, indemnifying the boroughs by an Mame of electors from among their own iuhabitants ; or, 2. Reinforce the counties by a well-qualified class of electors from the inhabitants of unrepresented towns. We have said that, in our judgment, seven years was too shat a term whence to draw the qualification of a leasehold elec tor, and that tenancy at will is something a good deal worse. One pernicious consequence of the Intrusions upon the hill hat, it seems to us, been overlooked by all partiesoe.se mean its probable effect upon British agriculture. There is nothing better understood than the utility of giving farmers a certain, and nos a short, interest in the soil which they cultivate; because, without $ legal, or at least a renewa -1 able, &entrance that he will be repaid foe his outlay, none but a fool will think of spending money upon another man's land—that is to say, he will never put it into a wholesome or productive condition. landlords have here. tofore been inlisenced to vent leases of a compensating duration to their tenantry, or to make equivalent engage. ments with them, for .the sake of having their estates int. proved, or not deteriorated in value. But henceforth anew interest arises, a political interest, at direct variance with that *which would Induce them to look to the advantage of their property, and through it to the public good. Tenants of all kinds are made voters, and it will been me the object of the English, as it was that of the Irish, landlords. (of el.ri. ous memory 1, to make as few independent or ling-leescel tenants as partible or, in other words, as few bold and systematic and p roductive cultivators of the earth, rand as many as possible of that description. whose tenures being absolutely dependent upou the landlord's pleasure, (in order that their votes may he at his disposal), will shrink front any liberal or useful outlay, and keep the land in a state of penury and sterility, eorrespond.ng to the precariousness of their own helpless position. There is no doubt mat such a change in the state of the tenantry, and in the productive ness of the land, must bring with it a reduction of rents exactly or very nearly la the same proportion. In the same ratio, hide d, in which the landlord's ambition prevails over his cupidity, or maintains a struggle with it, to that same degree may we asokipste an abridgment of leases, a degeneracy of the soil, a decay of agricultural produce, and —what, as the result of such causes, must be deemed cala oettoger.-as fall of rents in many parts of England. Bat di= is yet time to cure, or much alleviate, the evils menaced by these departures from the principles of the bill : the mere rescinding of the county-splitting clause would go a gent way towards a remedy. GERA f.D.—ln the city there is scarcely two opinions epos the effect of that alteration in the Reform Bill, which admits farm tenants at-will to fir county members. It is looked upon as destructive of the principle of the Bill, and many pteple are decidedly or opinion, that, if me men.l ogre ever Imo toil (Termite:, the state of the representatleo will be even worse than it is at present. We I always considered the bill with the exception of the dia. franchising and enfranetsie; clanks as little better than • mast of absurdities. The destruction, however, of the nota rieusly Mtn beers —the re ler e gh ati V, sad wafering t., us and • most other The earner. Bat howetands rotten boroughs are deseroyed.. land, with a few exceptions, are and to m subservient a cowed corruption and Iniquity. Not one-third of the clams of the Dill have yet been disposed of, and, so far from he substance of the thing being left, Its shadow, with respect to principle, has absolutely vanished. To say that this conduct is " keeping the word of promise to the oar and breaking it to the Mope," is speaking too ft. vouribly. The word of premier, in fact, has D.l her been kept to the hope, nor eves to ear W e should Inc. gine there could be en giallo now as to the Lords passing the Bill, for it will place the whole, or nearly the whole, representation of the mutely at their disposa l, and at the disposal of the other great landholders If indeed they do not pass it, they will prove themselves to be the most disinterested, self-dent log, and patriotic body of It,. Ablators that ever masted. We observed rite/day, slat the only way in which the mischievous areas of the Nlaelulo of Chtindoe's amendment could be counter. acted, would bete admit 104 householders, who Itsv: not cotes for to vote for rounds; and we added. that if the be sincere in wishing to crece an independent constituency, they would bring holm il a clause to that effect. We Sod, however, that they have dune ro melt thing. It is true they have introduced a elate-e to ens. !de householders of 501. a year to vote for comedic t I tat for all practicable purposes, they might jilt as well lime dove nothing at all. But we dislike, and always have di.liked, the milting the amount of a man's rent the cri•erist of Lis right of stating. It will he the means of introducing all sorts of absurMdes into the system of election, and, we have no doubt, will, in its working, be highly othridevous. We agree with Lord lithos, that the details of tote bill ought to have been founded epos the ancient institutions of the coon. try . this doctrine we have always held from the beginning. If instead of the ridiculous rent syst•m, the paying mot and lot had been made the criterion of voting in boroughs, what a mass of absurdities and moors &dome would haws been avoided, while the smarm landladies of the' emery would breve Wee strictly tarred. Dot then the small boroughs would have re. *Mud free, which we now suspect, and not without rea l" MI not snit the views of the framers of the Bill. In 11011111,11, all that was necessary to be done waste Increase MS ember of Members for the counties; to have ad. UMW copylsolders as well as freeholders to vote for such 1111theers; to have disfranchised the rotten boroughs, and eldlinethised the large towns; to have done away with the altetthen for boroughs; to have shortened the period for elitdons, and provided for voting in districts; and to have made the right of election in towns depend spec the pay ing scot and lot. We humbly conceive that we have here given, in a single sentence, the owlets of a Reform Bill which would have given general satisfaction, and saved the Legislature and the country infinite trouble, anxiety, and heart-burnings. I'OST.—We entreat our readers to give earnest attention • the Protocol of the Conference between 111/ Majesty's ad visers and the O'Connell delegates; and then let them say whether it suits either the dignity of a minister or the inde pendence of Parliament that some thirty metrbers should be permitted openly to wring concessions from the government, or secretly dictate the measures of administration. Now if an argument wet, wanting to show thedanger of reform in Ireland we should find it in the presumptuous language of this Trial Political Union. Iferen under the present system the Exam live of this great kingdom must truckle to the commands of a few Mat Representatives, where will be the extent of its rill dente, nay, of its servility, when every borough s h a ll 01111 a popular delegate, or an anti-type of O'Connell ? raids , * experience shows us here the facility and *ear of combinatioo g we are scarcely less certain upon the numbers to be returned, under the hill, by Catholic influence. If O'Connell then, with his few retainers, can wield at present so great a power, we boldly assert that no Government hereafter, whether it resist or concede, will stand for a moment against the des potism of an agitator, armed with treble powers and appio dee for initchieE Honour no less than interatdanands the cootroul of these haughty demagogues 4 and if the Premier chooses to surrender at discretion, let hint .orrander what is his dignity, and his es ta te , b u t not t h e aubla own, his of hia tt llite elaw% and the repose of the kingdom.

Our great folly has been that of foreign interference : we cannot interfere for good, In such a case as this. *hie the interference is sore to bring burdens upon ourselves in some way or other. But if we have the freedom of Poland &namely a• heart, what is so likely to effect it as the pustessiou of B:lgiten by the French? We have only to stand still and mind our own affairs: let the French alone, end they will mow down the despots.
