Advices from Gibraltar by the mail steamer Delta, arrived at Southampton yesterday, are four days later, but there is very little additional intelligence from Morocco. The following items are extracted from the Gibraltar Chronicle:— "A Ceuta letter of the 17th inst., published in a Spanish paper, states that the casualties in the army of Africa since the commencement of the campaign amounted at that date to 6,007; but of these it is calculated 1,500 will soon return to join their corps. Volunteers continuo to arrive from all parts . to fill up the vacancies occasioned by these casualties. The road to Tetuan was getting on rapidly, and it is said that so soon as the siege train arrived the army would march on that city, leaving Gen. Orozco's.division in charge of the earthworks on the heights of the Serallo. " The Epoca announces that the strength of the army in Africa is to be raised to 80,000 men. This will leave a respectable force to operate, after gar risoning the redoubts, forts, and other advanced lines. Every battalion, according to this journal, is to be completed to 1,000 men, filling up from the corps in the Peninsula the vacancies that may occur. This augmentation is to have effect from the com mencement of the ensuing year." "GIBRALTAR, DEC. 28. _ _ _ "Priirate letters from the camp before Ceuta have been received to the evening of the 25th. We subjoin some extracts DEC. 24. "' Nothing at all new here. No firing yesterday or to-day. Eleven more battalions are expected from Spain, and nearly all the cavalry has come. It is thought we shall move towards the new year, but nobody knows for certain. For ,the last week they have had nothing but unimportant skirmishes. They are getting on with, the road in the direction of Tetuan. " DEC. 25, 9 a.m. ..... ".' Moors attacking the . leftand centre;' skir mishing going on ; fire rather lively. Began at half-past 8. No appearance Of • its proving much more than one of the ordinary encounters; only, having begun so earl — it ivay last longer.' " Another correspondent, Wilting later in the day, describes the fight as having been one of the sharpest encounters witnessed since the affair of the 9th. It was over and the dead buried by two o'clock. A brilliant charge was made by one of the Spanish generals (name not given), who jumped from his horse,neized a musket, and led his men against one of the Moorish positions, which he took at the point of the bayonet. 38 Moorish dead were found on this spot. The Spanish loss was re ported as six killed and 30 wounded. "Two battalions of infantry—the Soria and Bailen—marched from Malaga on the afternoon of the 24th, overland, on their way , to Algesiras for embarkation to Ceuta. One of these battalions reached San Roque between 10 and 11 o'clock last night. '1 he other battalion is expected to-night. " Arrivals from the coast of Morocco report that everything remained quiet at the ports of Casa blanca (Dar-el-Baide) and Sae At the latter place a number of Bedouins had come in from the interior in quest of provisions ; and, after getting their supplies, quietly returned into the country.

Sir,—As the subject of our fi ure military opera tions in China is one of such i , t national interest and importance at the present' tincture, I venture to request your insertion of a f words in reply to the remarks which have been :Called forth by my letter of the 29th ult. As Captain Osborn objects to initials, thaw given my name in full. This expe rienced officer has so satisfactorq dispos,ed of the ob jections urged by J. C., that I only allude to his letter for the purpose of correcting one or two inaccuracies calculated to mislead. And first as to myself. J. C. says :—" From the local knowledge and ready-writiag of your corre spondent, one is tempted to believe that he writes semi•officially." This imputation I must brg in the most unqualified manner to repudiate. lam quite unaware of the views of the Government beyond what is generally known by the public, nor have I discovered that "local knowlidge' or "ready writ ing" aro qualifications for which even semi-officials are usually selected. It is not, as J. C. says, 100 miles from Takoo to Tien-tsin by water, , but about half that distance ; and if it is, as he suggests, beyond the skill of our engineers to remove the wooden obstructions with which the Chinese may bar the river, for the anti?. vial plain does not supply them with stone, it will be satisfactory to know t!...4.it is only 35 miles by land, over a dry - level pliiiiVadmirably'adapted for the movement of troops. I, mentioned that beyond Tien-tsin the road was in some places 'on a causeway. This, says J. C., implies the existence of a marsh ; " they (the Chinese), by cutting through the . causeway, will force the allied army, without any.means of trans port, to march through a bog." Here he is again quite -wrong ; except where the country is flooded at particular seasons, the most luxUriant crops ex:- tend as far as the eye can reach on each side of the causeway, and during the spring, at all events, the army will neither have to march through bogs not be likely to starve, even in the event of the total destruction . Of 'Commissariat animals predicted by J. C. The policy of J.:C., however, if ineffective, has the merit of being ,harmless, while that advocated by Captain Osborn seems to me pregnant with such serious and dangerous consequences to our commer cial interests in China that it is . of the litmost importance that the measures he urges, should not be adopted " lightly. Captain Osborn must admit that the residence at Tien-tsin of a few hundred marine's and blue jackets in 1857 obtained us the treaty, but he denies that the occupation of that city again with 22,000 men would produce a simi7 lar effect, unless We conceded the two most iMpor tant clauses in the treaty. The result alone can pi ove who is right ; but he surely will not deny that the Government Would yield if they saw. us in possession of ,Toong-chow. This, however, is ob jected to by Capt. (Morn on, the ground of its, be ing a petty war. "I do most earnestly," he says, " deprecate any idea of partial hostilities —petty war. "We must teach the Chinese from one end of the empire to the other that peace is far better than war with us ' outer barbarians.' " Captain Osborn then suggests the nature of these hostili ties, and triumphantly points to the first China war, , which lasted for three years, and involved the sacri fice of upwards of 2,000 British troops, the destruc tion of many cities, and countless unfortunate: Chinese. As a proof of the advantage of. this mode of t procedure, "a peace was obtained," he says, " that lasted 14 years, a very fair duration for any Asiatic engagement." But Capt. Osborn must surely have forgotten that in 1839 the coast of China was not dotted with British settlements. The effect of read- ing this lesson to the Chinese from "one eid of the empire to the other" will be the t3tal destruction of the foreign settlements at Shanghai, Foochow, Ningpo, Amoy, and Swatow, all as exposed and liable to incendiarisra as were the ill-fated factories at Canton. The British merchant building in China who adopts Capt. Osborn's view will be careful not to build a house that will last above 14 years. Capt. Osborn accuses the mercantile guilds of the north of being the instigators of the war. lam at a loss to conceive how he has acquired this piece of information: I question whether any Englishman, however intimate his acquaintance with the inner springs which set in motion the complex and intri cate political system of the Chinese Government, can positively affirm such to be the case. Upon this assumption, however, he charges them with the expenses of the war—suggesting incidentally the seizure of the grain fleet, and "an embargo upon all taxes levied upon European exports in the open ports of China." The revenue to be derived from this latter source, with im-"partial" hostili T ties going on, and the settlements at the open ports in ashes, would not be extensive. J. C. accuses the Government of sending out 20,000 men to play "a game at brag" with the Chinese ; he himself, with his permanent acquisition of Nankin, may very fairly be accused of a partiality for " crib bage," while the great end and object of Capt. Osborn's policy seems to be a game of " beggar my neighbour" once every 14 years. Unfortunately, it is a game two can play at. London, Jan. 4. LAWRENCE OLIPHANT. RELIGIOUS PI RSECU7ION IN SPAIN. A correspondent of the licrald calls attention to the case of Escalante, a colporteur employed by the British and Foreign Bible Society at Gibraltar. He is a British subject, born and bred at Gibraltar, where he has a wife and five children. The crime imputed to him is the distribution of the Bible. The following narrative is given :--, " Towards the end of April last he and a guide left Gibraltar on horseback, to attend the fair at ,Vehez (a town some few leagues to the east of Cadiz), which was to be held there on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of May. On the night of the 2d of May last, aliout 12 o'clock, Escalante was aroused by the entrance of six gendarmes (guardias civiles), under a captain. He was immediately arrested and taken to the local gaol. Seventeen diamond Testaments were found in his possession, and nine had been previously given away—and be it here remarked that all of them were Roman Catholic editions, trans lated by Padre Scio from the Latin Vulgate, de clared to be authentic by the Council of Trent. "For two days Escalante was confined at Vehez, closely guarded, after which he was conveyed to Chiclana, 12 miles distant, and there cast into a loathsome dungeon. It was damp and almost dark, and in this place he was kept for 20 days, by which title, as was to be expected, he became very ill. On the 24th May he was removed to Cacliz on horse back, handcuffed, having had a doctor's certificate, stating that his health necessitated the removal, the prison at Cadiz being somewhat both'. than the dungeon at Chiclana. He has been in Cadiz gaol ever since without ha - ving been brought to trial. His arrest was suggested by Dr. Scandella, the Vicar Apostolic oeGibraltar, for it appears that on Esealante's leaving the Rock he sent a message (by telegraph probably) to Vehez, informing the priest there that the hated Propagandista' was in that direction, and advising his capture. The captain of the gendarmes received orders from the ' cure? of Vehez. " It may naturally be said that if a person chooses to break the laws of a country he must take the con-, sequences. Granted; But what laws has Escalante broken ? There is no law in Spain prohibiting the circulation of the Roman Catholic edition of the Now Testammit, in Spanish, and without notes; conse quently, Escalante cannot be legally imprisoned on that ground. Neither will the fact of the books being contraband (because printed in London) con demn him ; for, in the first place, he is not com mitted to prison on a charge of smuggling; and, in the second place, the small value of the Testaments are not sufficient by the laws of Spain to condemn him, even to a month's imprisonment. " The charge on which he was arrested is his hav ing infringed the 128th Article of the Penal Code which states that the attempt to overthrow or change (zarim-) the religion of the country, shall be punished by imprisonment of from six to ten years.' " Under this law Escalante is to be tried. When, we know not. It niay be years before his turn comes--it may be only months. And now, sir, per mitine to ask two questions. Why has a British s . übject been permitted to lie for nearly e i g ht months a Spanish prison, untried, uncondcmned, and neither convicted, nor likely to be legally convicted, of having infringed the penal code? Why, and on what authority, did H.B.M. consul at Cadiz, Mr. Brackenbury, delay for four entire days to answer a request put by Escalante, at the instigation of the judge of Chiclana, asking for his (the consul's) pro tection, the judge having stated that on the consul's appearing Escalante could be released ? This delay obliged the judge to send the case to the Supreme Court of Seville to be decided." FINANCE OF THE CITY OP PARIS. The report lately preSented by the Prefect of the Seine to the Municipal Councils on the budgets of the city of Paris for 1859 and 1860 contains some points of interest.. It states, for example, that so prosperous were the city finances in 1859, that; after largely providing not only for the ordinary expenses, but for the exceptional wants of hospi tals, religious edifices, and schools, for the repairs of bridges and quays, the extension of paving, the making of plantations, the salubrity o f h ouses , and the distribution a nd carrying away of water, a sum of £13,203.193E, in addition to that which came from the loan which the city had been au thoriSed to raise, was devoted to the purchase of houses and buildings and the execution of works for the improvement of streets and thorough. fares; and that sum would have been still larger if one of 6,750,582 C had not been taken to in crease the reserve of the Municipal Treasury, which had been lessened by a sam of. 10,000,000 f. having been appropriated to the Caisse des Travaux de Paris. "'These figures," says the report, "prove that the Municipal Council of Paris, in entering in May, 1858, into an agreement with the Government to execute in the space of ten years works and improvements estimated to cost 180,000,000 f., in return for a subvention of .only 50,000,000 f., did not miscalculate the,resources of which the city could dispose for - that purpose." And, in addition to t all this, not only, says the' report, were the sums required for the payment of the interest, premiums, an d l o t s o f the debt duly proVided, but one of 5,743,415 E was set apart towards the payment of the debt. The report then goes on to explain what. it calls "the secret of these results," and that secret is that within the Blast seven years—that is, since the establishthent of the empire —the ordinary receipts of the city have increased in a much greater pro portion than the ordinary expenses. Thus, in 1852; the year in which the empire was established, and in which the great works in' Paris were commenced, the ordinary receipts were only 52,576,631 E; and in 1859 they were 79,327,925 f. increase, 26,751,294 E.; whereas the ordinary expenses, which in 1852 were 34,939,4361'., were in 1859, 49,163,178 f. —an, increase of only 14,223,742 f. " That," says, the report, "is all the mystery of the pretended marvels accomplished in Pars daring the last :7 years by the municipal administration. What had to be done to obtain this result was very simple-- namely, resolution and perseverance ; on the one hand, in obtaining from established duties all that they could be made to yield, and taking advantage of all circumstances that presented themselves for increasing the revenue ; and, on the other hand, restraining as much' as possible the continual ten dency of the different branches of the municipal services to increase their expenses." It is to the increasedpopulation, to the influx of provincial and foreign visitors, and to the increase of public and private prosperity that. the report ascribes princi pally the augmentation of the municipal revenues ; but it admits that the increase of certain octroi duties, the establishment of taxes on wholesale deal ings in the markets, the increased rent for market stalls, the increase of the tax on cabs and omni buses, and . a number of other things, as also a more equitable division of charges common to the Govern ment and the municipality, have likewise contri buted to that augmentation. The report then no tices various items in the revenue which are new or have increased. Among them are the se : —Th e imposition of a tax of 2c. per cubic metre on gas consumed, which last year yielded a revenue of 980,000 f. ; the tax on dogs, which, though redu cing the number of dogs from 45,617 in 1856 to about 33,000 in 1859, yielded - more in the latter year than 300,000 f. ; the tax on cabs and on om nibuses (these vehicles are 3,997 in number), which in 1852 only amounted to 471,141 f., produced in 1859 2,036,714 f. The report announces that the municipality has not yet been able to obtain the imposition of, a tax on all carriages, horses, and ' vehicles employed in PariS, and remarks, as a sin gularity, that in this capital it is "the wealthiest classes which manifest - the strongest repugnance to new taxes." The report justifies the proposed tax on the ground that it is not right that private ear. riages, and particularly the large waggons and vans used in commerce, should have the privilege of using the paving and macadam of streets gratuit ously, when omnibuses, which are chiefly destined for people of modest incomes, pay. The report next refers to the charge for admission to the Bourse—a matter which has excited a good deal of discussion. This charge, it Says, - was established in 1856, on the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce, as a means of preventing the overcrowding of that place, which had become intolerable, and of keeping away petty capitalists, who were tempted to speculate, and by so doing often lost all they had. Another reason for establishing the charge was that the mu nicipality did not think it right that an edifice be longing to it, and which served as a:market for secu rities and merchandise, should be free from all charge when all the other markets are made to pay heavily. Some persons, says the report, complain bitterly of the charge for admission as injurious to commercial transactions; but it was those persons who profited by the silly hopes and the sudden panics of the petty speculators. But though,thb report says, the Bourse is less frequented than it used to be, it is still well attended, and an some days is over crowded. The number of persons it can conveni ently accommodate is about 4,000 ; but on certain days as many as 4,200 and even 4,500 have entered, and rarely, even in the summer, has the number been less than 3,500. Moreover, the number of pay ments for admission steadily progresses—in 1857 the total amount obtained was 1,010,1480, in 1858 it rose to 1 ,027,495 f., and in 1859 was about, 1,060,000 f. The report afterwards proceeds to give details respecting the budget of 1860, which, on account of the aggrandisement of Paris, differs con siderably from that of 1859. Among, other things it shows that all the communes annexed, except Passy, have debts amounting to 5,962,900 f., whiCh will have to be paid between 1860 and 1874 ; but it shows also that they have assets amounting to 5,893,425 f, It calculates that 1,400,000 f. will be required to . exempt poor families from what is called the personal and furniture tax, and that in the suburbs annexed•the number of families so ex empted will exceed 28,000, consisting of 90,000 persons. It sa y s th a t t h e num b er of octroi en trances into Paris, which has heretofore been 57, will henceforth be 66; and that the duties of the octroi officers will be greatly increased on account of the entries being much more numerous, of the fortifications which they will have to watch being upwards of 20. miles (33 kilometres) in extent, of the necessity of watching the points at which the railways pass through the fortifications, and the goods stations of railways; and, lastly, of exercis ing surveillance over what are ca ll e d th e ' en t re p o t s a domicile. These increased duties will render necessary the augmentation of the ordinary octroi staff from 1,259 persons to 1,862 ;of fro-n 138 to 200 of the men charged to accompany goods which pass through the city in transit, or do not pay at the gates ; and the creation of 90 new officers specially charged with the, surveillance of the domicile en trepots. The expense of the octroi will, says the report, be increased .from 2,925,725 f. to 4,275,962 f. The report notices that, in expectation ,of the aggrandisement of Paris, many persons residing 'outside the octroi will hare laid in for their oven private use s4scks of wood. wine, &c., in order to avoid paying the octroi duties of Paris, which are higher than those of their communes ; and it expresses a doubt that they have made a good bargain, inasmuch as they have paid for those articles, and especially wine, more than they will be worth this year. It does not propose to interfere with them, but it says a great number of other persons in connivance with specu lators have clandestinely collected as many as 300,000 or 400,000 casks of wine, with the inten tion of depriving the city of Paris of the octroi duty thereon, which it calculates at 15,000,000 f. or 18,000,000 f.; but it says, that in virtue of regula tions adopted by the Council of State, they will be made to pay the duties. On the subject of the cemeteries, the report says that Paris, when en larged, will comprise three large cemeteries—those of the East, or Pere-Lachaise ; the West, or Mont martre; the South, or Montparnasse ; and 10 others less important, those of Auteuil, Passy, the Batig nolles, La Chapelle, La Villette, Belleville, Cha- Conne, Bercy, Vaugirard, and Crenelle. The COM• mune of Montmartre besides makes over to the city the proprietorship of a new cemetery situated be yond the fortifications. Of all these cemeteries, the three large ones of old Paris and those of Auteuil, Passy, Batignolles, Montmartre, La Villette, and Vaugirard will alone be required. The others will be closed—that is to say, will not receive any new tombs ; but they will remain accessible to families, and the existing tombs will be respected. The report concludes by proposing to set aside a reserve fund of 5,000,000 f. for the expenses which the enlarge ment of Paris will necessitate—namely, the forma tion of a magnificent promenade by the union, on the demolition of the octroi wall, of what are now theouter;Boulevards and the Chemin de Ronde ; the construction of new mairies, &c.; but the report PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. says that that sum will fall far short of what will eventually be needed. The officials of the octroi have taken possession of the posts established in the new enclosure of Paris, now, like ancient Thebes, become the City of the Hundred Gates. Under Louis XV. Paris had already considerably increased, and some neigh bourini, villages were added to it, among others that of Roule, which was made a.suburb of the city. la 1784, under Louis XVI., the Farmers- General received permission to surround the capital by a wall, which is nearly the - same as that now, existing, but which will soon disappear. At that period the barrier gates were almost all of wood, and the offices small wooden houses placed on wheels for the convenience -of locomotion. The barriers were 60 in number, classed in three divi sions —north, south, and east. The new enclosure of Paris, with its 100 gates, its !deep ditches, and its green slopes, wilt better respond to the grandeur of the city than the wall by which it has been hitherto surrounded. An immense number of Parisians did not lose the chance of profiting by the change in the barriers. During the afternoon and evening of the day before the alteration was effected they flocked outside the old barriers and made pur chases of every kind,!and for some hours before midnight all the barriers were crowded with vehi cles and foot passengers waiting for the moment when they might pass through without being stopped. ° When midnight struck the barrier gates were thrown open, the octroi men retired, and the whole body entered Paris and proceeded to their respective destinatior s, happy athaving thus effected some saving, though at tue cost of considerable trouble. In consequence of the extension of Paris, the administration of the Mont do Piete has established three additional offices, in which pledges are re ceived without additional percentage being laid on by intermediate agents. 'One is at the Batio b nolles, the second in the Rue de B u ff on , near the Jardin des Plantes, and the third at Vaugirard. 211 E NAVY. Orders have been received from the Admiralty for the number of labourers attached to Chatham dockyard to be reduced to 166. In order, however, not to inflict any unnecessary hardship on that class, instructions have been given that the reduc tion is to be made gradually, and that no fresh en tries are to be made to fill the vacancies caused by deaths or resignations. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed a num ber of pieces of timber belonging to the old frigate Shannon, lately broken up at Chatham dockyard, to be forwarded to Somerset-house to be preserved in the model-room of the Admiralty, where they will be converted into blocks and stands for the various models, in order to be kept as relics of that famous old frigate. A considerable quantity of the timber has been sent to Portsmouth to be used at that dockyard, most of the timbers being as sound as they were when the frigate was built. The Hon. Council of India have taken up the fol lowing ships for the conveyance of Government stores to India, viz. :—the Liverpool, 1,454 'ions ; the Earl of Eglinton, 1,274 tons ; the Catnperdown, 993 tons ; and the Ardbeg, 925 tons, all for Cal cutta • the Howden, 1,122 tons, for Bombay; and the Helvellyn, 1,017 tons, for Madras. The Arctic discovery ship Enterprise, 4, which has been employed in harbour duty as a coal depot at Sherness,'has been brought up from that port to Chatham to be placed in ordinary. It is intended to break this vessel up. Some of the men formerly employed as riggers in Woolwich dockyard ; and who voluteered to join the Arctic expedition on board the Fox, have re turned to Woolwich, and will be reinstated in their former . posts 'in the dockyard. Each of the crew have been presented by Lindy Franklin with an ele gant silver watch, valued at £lO, bearing a suitable inscription on the outer case, surmounted by an en graving representing the Fox in full sail. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Vincent Williams to the Ariadne, Lieut. Cuthbert Le Mesurier to the Conqueror; Lieut. Alex. Henderson, additional, to the Hogue, for senice in the Goshawk tender; M. Thomson, surg., to the Russell ; John Bower, surg., to the Edinburgh; John Gallagher, surg., to the Blenheim; T.

Clayton, the fieldwork instructor at the Royal Engineer establishment, Ch a th am , th e e announcement that Capt. J. W. Gordon had been appointed to the command being premature. The time for the departure of the expedition has not yet been announced, but active preparations are being made at head-quarters in getting ready the • requisite stores and other necessary equipments re quired by the men s elected f or this service. The first ten gulls made in the rifled ordnance fac tory at Woolwich, under the superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, were yesterday fired at the proof butt in the presence of Colonel Tulloeh g nspector of Artillery, and other officia ls. Each gun having been carefully searched and examined, the whole were pronounced faultless. Mr. Anderson was highly complimented by COl. Tulloh on the remarkable sue. cess so promptly attained by the new establishment, which he did not hesitate to state was mainly attri butable to Mr. Anderson's intense application and practical persevering intelligence,displ ayed through out every feature of his department. The establish ment, it was stated, will turn out for proof 20 guns per week, commencing with the present week; and before the end of the financial year will have com pleted a number tar exceeding that anticipated. After the erection of the huge and powerful steam hammer, the work, it is expected, will be consider. ably augmented. The number of men at present employed amounts to nearly 3,000 in the rifle de• partment alone. The two batteries about to be shipped on board the Himalaya, at Purfleet, for China, are ordered to be encased for transportation. Each battery is provided with two additional gun carriages,the whole of which have been:strengthened with iron bands underneath, and further secured with clips round the brackets and other parts liable to give way. The shipment of war materiala for China on board the Adelaide, undertaken to be in readiness on the 31st of December, has been mate rially delayed by the employment of a large number MILITARY ORGANIZ.iTION. (FROM THE TIMES' CORRESPONDENT LATE WITH , THE FRENCH ARMY IN ITALY.) II.• , • I have endeavoured to bring before you the real cause of the superiority of the French military or ganization over that of any other country in Europe, and I think I have shown that there are sufficient reasons for producing such a result without there being any necessity for recurring to the usual com . monplaces of France being by nature a military nation, having a particular aptitude for warfare ; that her institutions, and above all her administra tive centralization, give her superior means cf organization to those possessed by others ; and numerous other plausible generalties which are re sorted to by ignorance or prejudice to explain a fact which no one can deny. Its superiority is due to the observance of a few simple principles, self-evident, almost truisms, which are not the particular treasure of the French, but tile common property of all those who can raise themselves above old traditions and time-honoured prejudices. ' Like all great wars,. the wars at the end of the last and in the first part of the present century produced a peculiar system of military tactics and organization, the fruit of long years of bitter experience and sacrifices. The result of this long struggle was that France, which had originated the new system, and Napoleon, who by his genius l'ad contributed most to its development, were overthrown. The result was so great that,it was but natural in those who brought it about to conceive a great opinion of the perfec tion of the means by which they succeeded,— to lie down on a bed of laurels and forget that even a system for standing armies, however perfect, must yield to the common law of progress which regulates everything else in the world. ' This may seem strange now, which even those who think mummies the ideal of mankind dare only to dispute about the degree of progress to be aimed at; but it must be recollected that the idea of progress, although coeval with the world, is comparatively new as a recognised principle of action. If this principle had to struggle hard to establish its pasition in other institntions, it re mv ined almost powerless in a sphere which was less subject to the influence of public opinion, and jea lously guarded, like the mysterious 'worship of Eleusis, from the eyes of the profane. Thus it comes that, while France ever since the year 181,5 recognised and followed the principle of progress in the organisation of her army, in most other great European armies a war was waged against this - principle, and every concession which had to be made to it was bewailed and considered as a defeat. While France reformed almost every detail connected with her army, and made a com plete revolution in military matters, herformer ad versaries and victors thought they had done wonders by changing the shape of a shako or the cut of a coat, not with a view of convenience to the soldier, but simply as a matter of appearance. But although wrapped up in the world of the past, it was impossible in this age of intimate inter course of nations to remain altogether blind toivhat tookplace elsewhere. With all the predilection for a peculiar system—a consequence of the national genius and institutions of each people, it was im possible, in this age of mechanical skill, to deny the superiority of certain improvements which, by de grees and after much opposition, were adopted. Among these the greatest and most important is the improved rifle. We find invariably the history of warfare that the invention or adoption of a new or improved weapon goes together with, or is followed by, a com plete revolution in the art of warfare. The Mace donian phalanx presupposes the long lance and evolutions by masses. The organisation of the Roman legion is only possible with men of great individual superiority and armed with the short sword and shield. The introduction of full armour after the Crusades engenders the superiority of horsemen over the foot soldiers. The application of gunpowder to warfare re-establishes an equili brium between the two. The systematic introduc tion of fire-arms by Gustavus Adolphus creates a new system in the Thirty Year's War. The aboli tion of the lance for infantry, and the invention of the bayonet, become the basis of our modern system of warfare. The great perfection of the modern rifle and its general introduction as an arm of the infantry foreshadow as great a revolution in all military matters as any which has ever taken place. It is scarcely necessary to point out its obvious supe riority over the old musket, but the difference be tween it and the old rifle itself is great enough to give the two weapons an entirely distinct character. If any proof were required it would be found in the circumstance that the Swiss rifle, which approaches nearest to it in point of perfection, led to the esta blishment of the Carabineers—the heaviest of Swiss troops, while the new rifle produced Chasseurs de Vincennes and Zouaves—essentially light troops. But it is, perhaps, even more in the general intro duction of the new rifle than in the greater degree of perfection that one must seek for the consequences of the change, which is nothing more or less than a comnlete subversion of the very principle on which the military organisation was based hitherto. It is characterised in a few words. 'The old musket was the arm of the masses, and the rifle is that of the individual. The general introduction of the former led to a system where the individual soldier did not exist as such, but vi as only looked upon as a part of a whole; the general adoption of the latter gives back the full value of individual ex cellence and skill to the single soldier. The great aim in the old system was, therefore, to make an unconscious passive machine of the soldier, while in future everything must tend to develop the indi vidual soldier into an intelligent being. The nation which shall first attain this individual excellence and superiority of the soldier in its paili taPy system, and which by its genius and its insti tutions is most adapted to introduce this new principle into its army, will surpass the others in its military organisation. Hitherto the palm belongs to France, and it is a well-deserved, fruit of unceasing exer telk - •• '4 4 part. In spite of her large'army the 4 ; V 7 .1 it the best clad and the best care ~010, -4 - i tf" Although the French army has to rely 'n'gtfiligd 4t' tion, the French soldier is the most intel cs ' • most independent soldier in Europ e . Th e no °P cratic spirit of equality which is paramount in the people has likewise penetrated the army, and has contributed to destroy by degrees the old system, wherein the soldier was considered as a machine. You see the effects of- it in that free, elastic step of the French soldier which must strike every one in contrast with other armies. He is taught to think and rely upon him-elf, aLd he acquires the habit of stlf-reliance, 'Which gives such a superiority iu • campaigning. This en genders self-consciousness and emulation, which receive an additional spur by the system of pro zmitions and rewards. Finally, France was the first to understand that thinew weapon would requite a new system of tactics, that arim+ of ptecision were only valuable in the hands of men 'indeed to act more freely than was compatible with the old sys tem, and that soldiers did not arrive at this free dom of action by practising the goose step, but that each individual soldier had to be trained in all exer cises of the body, and to be taught to act more or less for himself.. The thing was so self-evident that most of the Continental nations have made more or less faint copies of the Chassenrs de Vincennes. This is only the beginning. The new rifles are considerably dearer .thah the old musket, and: it may be questioned whether a large army brought together by conscription for a few years ca' ac quire, as a body, this higher degree of excellence. Such a change would 'require considerable outlay, and there may be likewise some few traces of pro- . fessional prejudice remaining. However this may ba, •the French have not changed their whole.itk.' fantry according to the new model ; but, although the old regulations for the rest subsist in practice, • the loose order of fighting has slipped in likewise among the rest of the army. incliVidunl freedom, individual energy and emtera prise, have been for centuries the boast of England. All her institutions are based on them. She has conquered empires and spread civilization over the most remoto parts of the world by means of them, while such is the superiority of her mechanical skill, and such the excellence of her industry, that all the world recognises them by the establishment of protective tariffs, and envies the colossal wealth accruing from them. llere, then, are the three elements—individual excellence, high mechanical and industrial skill, and great wealth. Verily it will be England's fault if she does not take the lead in the revolution which is going on in the art of warfare for she will not have known how to take advantage of her supe riority. If this is not the case, none of the usual pretexts for shortcomings will be en excuse—neither the stinginess of Parliament nor the plea that England is not a military country. There are above 220,000 men inscribed on the rolls of the British regular army, besides from 140,000 to 150,000 militia, and the sum spent on the regular army alone amounts to nearly £12,000,000, giving one-fourth more for every individual soldier than in any other army in the world. The subdivision of a great part of the army over widely-spread colonies ought to be an advantage rather than a disadvantage, for it ought to be the best school for practically teaching every officer his duties in the field, and educating the sol dier for camp life; nor is there the practice swott ing in actual warfare, and thus the means of study ing the defects of organisation and the improve ments to be effected. If France has ber Algeria, England has India and China. England had slumbered longest on her laurels, until the Eastern war awoke her. It would be almost supernatural to expect that she should shake off the drowsiness all at once, and come up to the point where those were who had continuously- ad vanced daring the last 30 or 40 years. But she has made the first steps in the right direc tion, and she is so alive to the necessity of advancing that it may be hoped she will soon be up in the race. She has recognised that her military system needs improvement; she has sought and introduced the most perfect rifle hitherto invented, and is now in tent on making her soldiers worthy of their weapon. And in this respect England is already at the head of all others, for she is the first, and hitherto the only one, who has made rifle shooting the object of the systematic education of the infantry soldier. But there it has remained for the present. It has not yet been understood that the rifle is a revolu tion in and subversion of the old system, and that with the rifle everything else must be reformed and brought into harmony—that the, movements, meant for old Brown Bess are ineffective and dangerous in an age of rifles ; that a soldier educated as a ma chine will wield it only imperfectly ; that he must have the greatest amount of bodily health, strength, and agility ; that he must be trained and clothed accordingly; that in this utilitarian age even soldiers' dresses must be calculated on useful ness rather than ornament; that the command and administration must follow in the same direction— less routine and fewer councils, but more indepen dent action and responsibilities.

The pit is in Messrs. Dodd and Williamson's colliery, and near that down which a man recently fell, owing to its being improperly fenced. The victim of love and jealousy in the present ease was named Illicebe Davis. A few minutes before 3 o'clock on the day above yarned she called at a cottage oc cupied by an aged couple close by the shaft down which she was about to preCipitate herself; apparently very lunch agitated. Pulling a handkerchief from her neck, she handed it to the aged inmates, saying, " Give this to Jack, for I shall never see him again." She then ran to the pit month, and climbing over the fencing surrounding it cast herself headlong down the shaft, which has been disused for sores time, and is upwards of 90 yards deep. A large concourse of people speedily assembled, and information having been sent to the principal police-station at Wolverhampton, In spector Corden end a body of policemen proceeded to the spot. Owing to the existence of foul air in the shaft, a number of precautions—such as throwing down quicklime and placing air troughs—bad to be taken before any at tempt could be made to recover the body.' At last, a ft er 8 o'clock in the evaning, an Old . rreiner named Russell, having been fastened to a chain, was lowered down byhand ; and, sleaching the body of the poor girl to another, it was brought to the surface. Russell himself nearly fell a victim to his exertions, for when brought up he was (mite insensible, and friction and other means had to be used for nearly three-quertere of an hour before he could be restored. There is no doubt that the poor girl destroyed herself in a la roxysm of jealousy, owing to her lover having taken another young woman to a dance. Tie body was removed to a neighbouring public-house, and an inquest will be held on it to-day (Thursday).
