The oloutters, it had been said, were ',teasel with the measure, and nilling to become converts ; the nyagistrates u 1 o, they tu *ht, mini he, have addeil, the Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants of Counties, would be pleased with the Bilt; uo doubt, it would become a very useful engine ia their hands to their own advantage, especially- when it was revo!leeted how of late Lieutenants hid beck appointed finis among ()emus a Ito had no pre teas t •to such en honour, whilst the rirst Nobllity is the county were posted by and neglected.— He finally objected to the inausiare, as productive of an unsettled dangerous disposition in the lower order of society, by opening a number of mall places to them in the ranks, in which they would bid their brew! mum easily earned than by their daily lalioor. All who knew the Roble Lord would not suspect hi.n of any' in that way ; hut certain it was, all his arrangements some how tended to a ii-ond fat hind of m►nisterial milk and boueY ; he dehothted- in a prospect of something aubstatitiaily good, and re plete with the fruits of odice; whilst the last Minis try's poor jejease plats of training, having nothiag rieh or inviting to his palate, long since palled with delicious viands of place and oa,:e, had no thing to recemn n it.

But still, whilst he had the good fortune of hieing supported by the-military wisdom of the Right Honourable Gentleman, he could not help cnn- siferia; hie line of opposition to the present bill rather usgrarious. I mantled air, he said, it woe, upon that great military scheme, of which that Right Hmeturable Geo:tertian was the parent, it was surpriang t 6 he.n him that night characterise the present ueatsure as week, imherile, arid ineffica cious. It was true tLat there were points in which it materiully deviated from the system recommended by the late Administration. It did not tr<t upon an indiscriminate Training Act, which threw the whole isopulation of the eauntry into confusion, without either officers or orgiuneetion, and solely depeorleut for its progress and advancement in military skill, upon the exertioris of the cont,taMes uurler whose guidance it was 1)1.1( Uli.
