' the prospects thus offered are almost genuine. sometimes actually so. We remember one of our Own correspondents being struck with an announce ment on which a sergeant had 'ventured, to the effect that in India a British soldier if tired on a march would be carried in a palanquin, and if thirsty would be served with hot coffee. To his surprise, when he himself was employed on Indian t service, the truth. Ice,h t e ru feund that the description wag p y near Proceeding according to his own distributian of the subject, M. Esquires concludes that t he impn lee which operates in getting us recruits from Irelat,'d is that of necessity, while in Scotland the motiv eo is that of patriotism or inclination. He is right LI the latter case, in so far at least as he attributes an essentially martial character to the Scottish people, but he is wrong in explaining this by the predo minance of Celtic blood; and, indeed, he might have recollected that this theory would have applied far more forcibly to the case of Ireland. We suspect that Irish recruits have a very genuine inclination towards the army, and that, as a rule, they enlist under a less degree of pressure than their English brethren. But the stern martial spirit of the Scot tish nation is a very different thing from thenoisy pugnacity of a Celtic race, and belongs, indeed, to a Teutonic people. The Scots of history—the Scots who organized and maintained against all assaults an independent and famous kingdom—are as m.nch Saxons, or, at any rate, as much English as we are. The blood and language of the Gaels took refuge in the remote districts of the country, and left all the work and representation of the State to be sustained by men, who came of the same stock and spoke the same tongue as their neighbours over the border. No doubt, we raised regiments with great facility from the Highland clans,_ but so we did also from the population of the Lowlands; and England, after all, supplies more than its full proportion to the armies of the Empire. What is the predominant impulse in our own case ? Is it "necessity ?" So M. Esquires thinks, no doubt; but we could easily upset the assumption. It is probably a mixture of all motives. Patriotism has clearly a share in the business, for recruits always join eagerly at the first symptom of war. Inclination has something to do with it, as the turn of roving spirits testifies, and we do not deny that when a lad " takes the shilling" he is usually but ill provided with other specimens of that coin. But the Army is not so much a refuge for the destitute as it is a resort for the adventurous, the restless, and the unsteady, who have been brought by these very tendencies to the want of a calling, and who are tempted at once by the offer of plenty and the prospect of change to embrace the profession put invitingly before them.— Times.

For many years past no seat has become vacant in the Court of Aldermen for which there has been a keener contest, or for which the candidates have been more numerous, although at the eleventh hour the num ber has been narrowed down to two—namely, Mr. James Clarke Lawrence, a son of the late and bro ther of the present alderman of that name, and Mr. Linklater, the eminent practitioner in the Court of Bankruptcy, between whom the struggle now lies. From remissness in registration the number of the constituency is only about 120, but an unusual amount of popular feeling, not confined to the elec toral body, has been enlisted on both sides, and for the last fortnight the ward has been marked with all the tokens and excitement of a contested elec tion for a member of Parliament in a little country town. The candidates were yesterday attended to the place of nomination by a strong muster of their friends, and a good deal of partisan feeling was evinced on both sides, but controlled at the same time by great good humour. Mr. Tindal Atkin son, the barrister, attended as the legal adviser of Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Linklater was his own client in that respect. Mr. Henry Child, the Ward Clerk, having read the precept authorising the election, The LORD MAYOR, in opening the ceremony, paid a tribute to the memory of Mr. Alderman Wire, than whom, his lordship said, there never was a gentleman who held a higher place in the affection of his constituents—a compliment to which the whole meeting returned a generous response. Mr. Lawrence was then proposed as a candidate, in complimentary terms, by Sir Anthony Roths child, and seconded by Mr. Edward Thompson, of Salter's-hall. Mr. Linklater, in his turn, was nominated by Mr. Benjamin Wilson, and seconded by Mr. J. S. Dane. Mr. LAWRENCE then addressed the meeting. He adverted to the flattering requisition which had been presented to him to become a candidate for the vacant aldermanic gown, and to his hearty reception by the electors in a personal canvass of the ward. After alluding in some detail to his prospects of success, be said he based his claims to represent the constituency partly on the connection of him self and his family with the ward, but more on the great interest he took in the civic affairs, believing as he did that in the existence and maintenance of the municipal institutions of the country lay the secret of its liberties, seeing that by them the citi zens were trained to habits of self-discipline and self-government, which produced in the minds of the people that attachment to the constitution and that respect for the laws which rendered us as a nation the admiration of the world. (Cheers.) Mr. Lawrence stated, at greater length than it is neces sary to repeat here, the views and feelings by which his public conduct would be guided if chosen to re present the ward, and met with a cordial reception from the meeting in general. Mr. LINKLATER, after some facetious observa tions as to his prospects of success, and a reference to matters purely personal arising out of the con test, or only of local interest, said that in these critical times it behoved the citizens to consider well whom they elected to civic offices. Year after year, he said, had the corporation of London been singled out for reform, so called, but which meant the confiscation of the rights of its citizens. (Hear.) In every session of Parliament for some years past it had been threatened with entire annihilation, and among the supporters of Mr. Lawrence on this occasion he could point to more than one gentle man who, in their evidence before the Commission of 1854, had gone the length of saying in terms, though they were not advocates of the abolition of all municipal rights, that they could wish to see the Corporation of London swept from the face of the earth. (" Name, name," and some uproar.) He cited, in contrast to that expression of feeling, the eulogium of the Municipal Commissioners for Eng land and Wales of 1834, in their published report, to the effect that the Corporation of the city of Lon don was a brilliant exception to the rule among municipal institutions in general, and that from time immemorial the public interests of the citi plooftedlo zens had been zealously guarded and the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Column Council. (Hear, and cheers:) He then gla n _ r um unhaPPY and charac br:efly at what he designated dd i ff tyere i n : . cltch arose between the Olvv in ;„,.....otgatea :he Commissiir .tile b rie adverted to years later of. resulting in the apyln the position of the C°Trignorance of the charm ur weu - b a d clamoured for its ter of the civic constitution , ou becoming better ac tmentanadewe, reform, but had afterwards which he said sought to confiscate quainted with its by and ac as disting uished fra r Cor pora ti on ' • contained knowledged that teristics d , ear become them t c h o ll 8 : t° : i r e e t r 7 nz ' te t r li a th g c a e o t n s w n nht t calcula ted to r ender ments within itself ca the the first institutions. in e wor ld. He pointed to had de scended to them from time im • memorial. That measure was withdrawn, but in 1858 another equ ally objectionable, as regarded' he harm it was calculated to inflict on the ancient rights and pri vileges of the citizens, was introduced, and but for the timely opposition it received, in particular, from the present Lord Mayor and one of the mem bers for Gloucestershire in the House of Commons, had nearly becathe the law of the land. Speak rithgehtßsill of 185 6 , Speak ing of the Bill of 1859.60, he complained that it proposed that the livery by whom the Lord Mayor was elected should cease to have a voice in the future elections of, the chief magistrate, and that the right of election should be vested in the persons who had the power of exercising the elective fran chise within the City of London. He also depre cated the proposed combination of the Words of Walbrook and Cheap, which would tend' to limit the number, and so lessen the influence and con sideration of the Court of Aldermen ; and he pro mised in conclusion, if elected t o devote all neces sary time to the duties which the office would 5 ;e:,...,et;32 : IN 11:WS pApER .._... _4oy , Ir o ;':,, , 2 <",-,.:,' ,i . ; 1-te` - '" :,- S. devolve upon him, remarking, on Ms o ' ..: .' 3t..!; - --.' , . ?; ?-• rience, that those who applied thenaselve4 7 :` ,4, „,_,_,-', A lously to professional pursuits valued how. %:' t . rf" -,7 1,, • labour more than hours of ease, for— --___ -9Y " Want of occupation was not rest. •NI " A mind quite vacant was a mind distrest." In answer to questions put by Mr. Watkins, an. elector of the ward, both candidates expressed. themselves desirous of maintaining the existing rights of the livery. A show of hands was then taken, which the Lord Mayor declared to be in favour of Mr. Lawrence; and a poll being demanded by Mr. B. Watson on behalf of Mr. Linklater, his Lordship appointed it to commence this (Friday) morning, at 10 o'clock, and to close at 4 this afternoon, in conformity with the provisions of the statute regulating civic elec• tions in the city of London. ME EMPEROR AND THE POPE. The pres s i s b eg i nn ing seriously to di,:icuss the pamphlet of M. Cayla on the Emperor separating from Rome and making himself head of the Church of France. The Steele has an article on it to day, from which the following are extracts M. Y. M. Cayla has seen the excesses to which certain heads of the clergy have abandoned them selves in recent times —the ingratitude they have displayed to those even who alone have opposed a serious obstacle to the complete destruction of the Papal temporalities. These excesses and this in gratitude are not new facts in our history ' they h ave occurred every tim e th a t t he interests of Rome have not been those of France. Such ; being - the case, M. J. M. Cayla thought of the great expe dient of former times—that is a separation —not a schismatic separation like that of England, but o f amicable separation which would be a kind of fede ration. We should remain Catholics without d e . pending on the Pope, who would continue tobe the nominal chief, and the institution of universal suf frage would be applied to Catholicism, as *we have frequently, demanded. Let us permit M. J. M. Cayla to explain his system. The situation' he says 'is false, intolerable—let us hasten to get rid of it.' Now, of all solutions, the most simple and, as appears to us, inevitable, is the emancipation of the French Government from every Roman tram mel. It is to restore its civil constitution to the clergy. It is the chief the State uniting the two Powers Let nobody believe that we think of re , commending the schism of Henry VIII. We are no longer in the time of schisms and heretics. John Huss and Luther ran the risk of having only very few disciples. Religion had been so tortured that Europe had fallen into the most complete indif ference. The Emperor, as Head of the national religion, would have no need to break with Rome with respect to dogmas. The Pope, as simply 0, spiritual Sovereign, would continue to e:s.ercise an influence over Catholicity, the gr ee\ter as the Papacy would again ap proac,ll the simplicity of the primitive Church. As regeArds France especially, the Head of the State wou ld d i rect the administration of public worship as a s ov ereign. Paris being the centre and the heart of Fre.nee, the Archbishop of Paris would be named grand i'atriarch. An cecumemical council w ould assemble every year to regulate the state of Catholic worship. The grand Patriarch, delegated by the Head of the State, would preside at this a l councils should be con council. The provinei yoked several times ever T year, according to the wants of the dioceses. The Pope might be repre sented in the councils by e fe edinals and Bishops, who should have only a consuJting voice. There should be 12 Cardinals named directly by the head of the State, who should compo,se in turn the Council of the Patriarch. The pres.'nt Bishops should be maintained on the condition of adopting relates the national religion. In future the P should be elected by universal suffrage. 'I h,. com munes should name several electors for each Pan ton ; these electors should proceed to the chi,fA town, and elect the Bishop, who should prove hie quality of Frenchman. Mere priests should be eligible, according to that practice which existed in the early period of Christianity. The parish priests of communes should be elected by the inha bitants of the parish." The ,Siecle takes some objection to one part of M. Cayla's project. It says:— " He wishes to wake the Emperor the head of religion in France. Is it well for a partisan of the separation of the totiporal and spiritual power to propose such a solution We will not have the Pepe spiritual and temporal at, the same time ; and here we give to the Emperor the two crowns. Let us be logical. Why wish to do in France what we reprobate at Rome? We believe, therefore, that the title which M. Cayla has given to his pamphlet has already attracted disfavour to it. The Emperor has already power enough, without being under the necessity of asking for more. rope and Emperor is really too much, however gt.eat our good wishes may be." ) a S THE DRAINS AT BRIGHTON. The following letter appears in the Lancet:— " Two months ago I took a house in one of those fine eastern terraces facing the sea at Kemptown, Brighton. The abundant rain which had fallen probably prevented me from detecting any disa greeable smell at the time, and the ti,gent, in reply to my inquiries, told me that the drainage was ex cellent. In the course of a fortnight, .however, I began to be annoyed by foul effluvia ti - om the drains, and soon afterwards the cook was prosk!rated with fever, and confined to her bed during a s- r sace of ten days. My children and servants sickened i.n. succession, and were attacked with headache, sick ness. and febrile derangements, clearly attributable to poisonous atmospheric agency. Examination showed that the drainage of the house was wretchedly imperfect. My youngest child did not, unhappily, escape so lightly as the rest of my household, and I have just brought her back to London, suffering from a most severe form of dip theria, which, I need not tell your readers, arises almost invariably from bad drainage. 1 immediately wrote to the agent, and when stating th.° circum stances warned him of the responsibility he incur red in again letting the house until the condjtion of the drains had been thoroughly investigated. in reply he stated, ' I have made every inquiry into the state of the drains and water-closets, and find them unobjectionable.' On receiving this stereo typed answer, I sought an interview with the late Mayor, who is a fellow-practitioner, and asked his assistance. He told me there was no officer of public health at Brighton. He admitted the objectionable state of the drainage of the town, and told me he had been for years urging the subject on the atten tion of the Town Council, but in vain. As I could offer no evidence that the evil complained of ex tended beyond the house, he could not render me any assistance. I next appealed for advice to Mr- Simon, at the Board of Health in London. He told me Brighton had not put itself under the prisdie tion of the London Board. If an epidemic broke out, the Council could send a commission otobienvheasa tigate the subject ; but in a case likee in ral l . la oce , , asions no power, and although he had oneev alluded to the bad drainage of Brightc!n in Las still remained remained. port, the evil, he was well awf d tre io Dr. F unaltered.

The extensive circulation of this work may he attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from. Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the ..,,eneral designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually r: pelted from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chronic embitterment by permanent content.

The Committee of the Indigo Planters Association having at last received from the Commissioner of Nuddea informa tion which they requested from him on the 7th ult., they proceed to submit to his Excellency the Governor-General of India in Council the following remarks on the minute of the Lieut.-Governor of Bengal dated the 17th of August, which was communicated to the association with your letter of Aug. 31 : Although his Excellency has expressed himself satisfied with Mr. Grant's explanations except on one point, the Committee respectfully beg to observe that Mr. Grant's minute is not accompanied by any particulars of the cases to which he refers, by which his Excellency's judgment might be guided ; and they therefore beg to submit the fullest de tails which they have been able to obtain in explanation. In commenting upon his Honour's minute, the Committee are desirous of avoiding as much as possible anything like en. tering into a controversy with the Lieut.-Governor; still they cannot but express their regret, that the tone of his Honour's minute is such as to show how deeply his feelings are affected against the system of indigo planting generally, and the presons who are engaged in that cultivation. In support of this position the Committee content them selves by simply referring his Excellency to the style, as well as the matter, of one paragraph only—namely, the sth, which assumes as a granted fact that planters have been in the habit of committing every description of crime and op pression. The committee do not wish either to enter into an argu ment as to the correctness of the Lieutenant-Governor's views of the position of the ryot as a capitalist, as they be lieve that such a theory is one wholly new, and one parti cularly opposed to the general idea of what constitutes a ryot in Bengal; but they must not be considered as in any way agmeing in the view his Honour takes of this subject, or assen ting to his discovery, that the ryot is a capitalist as distinguished from a labourer. The Committee would, however, draw particular atten tion to one part of the minute, where the Lieutenant-Gover nor is obliged to confess that the gentlemen he employed in the judicial offices in the disturbed districts were unfit for the common duties of their stations, and the Committee think that such a confession from such authority must necessarily draw the attention of the Executive Government to the ne cessity of establishing such a system as will give the people a more efficient class of judicial officers; and the Committee would bog attention to this part of. his Honour's minute as supporting the truth of what has long been put forward by the planters as their most serious grievance—viz., the in efficient state of the Mofussil Courts. His Excellency will have an opportunity in a later part of this letter of judging of the fitness for the judicial bench of one of them (Mr. J. S. Belt), who is considered by his honour as so much supe rior to the covenanted magistrates wLom he superseded in their duties. _ The committee consider it as hardly worth while refer ring to the earnest manner in which tic Lieutenant-Gover nor argues as to there being no confusion' in the districts; they can only say that a publication oF the Lieutenant-Go vernor's, dated Sept. 17, has led then to believe that the word confusion' was not strong enough to express the state of the district; and they believethat the mere fact of a vast military force being employee' in that part of the country, where troops have not been stationed since it came under British rule, proves confusion; and they cannot but express their surprise that, at a time when all residents of these districts knew that affairs were daily becoming worse, his Honour should, as he does in the last paragraph of his minute, refer to the crisis has ing passed over so peacefully, and with so little injury to tho great interest at stake. The committee can only say that the great interest of the Euro pean settler is for the present entirely ruined, and they see but little prospect of European capital being again embarked in the districts of Lower Bengal, But, leaving the general tenour of the minute, the com• mittee would beg his Excellency's attention to the promi nent cases brought forward by the Lieutenant-Governor, on which he lays much stress ; and when the Committee show that his Honour has taken statements for granted without fully investigating the cases on which he relies, to found most severe remarks and attacks, not anly on the planters, but on his own judicial officers, the Ccmmittee believe that his Excellency will attach much less weight to the minute in question than at first sight would appear to be due to it. In the 28th paragraph of the miauto the Lieutenant- Governor refers to the case of the Mooktar who was, as stated in the planter's petition, sentenced by Mr. Betts to imprisonment and a fine for instigating ryots not to sow. It would naturally be supposed from the comments "upon this case that the man in 'question, Teetarara Chuck erbutty, was a Mooktar acting as such on behalf of ryots, and that he was sentenced for exercising his lawful avoca tions as a Mooktar ; and his Honour, on this assumption, would make out that the sentence in question deprived the ryots of legal assistance, and that it was intended to give an advantage to the planters. The Committee have, however, ascertained that the man, though entitled, perhaps, to call himself a Mooktar, was, in fact, but an omedwar (one seeking employment) ; that he had never appeared before Mr. Betts as Mooktar ; that he was not employed in any way by any ryot on that occasicn ; that a few days previously he had waited on Mr. Forlong, bogging for employment in any capacity ; and that on the day in question he was hanging about Mr. Betts's tent, looking out for the chance of anything that might occur, holding no Mooktarnama ; and, in fact the ryots whose cases were before Mr. Betts never consulted him, or referred to him as their legal adviser. Mr. Betts had for more than two hours been patiently explaining to the ryots their position and liabilities, point ing out to them that the law distinctly laid it down that if they did not complete their contracts they would be subject to imprisonment, and perhaps be cast in damages, and he begged them to retire and think over the matter. To the former alternative the ryots were inclined to agree, and they retired to some neighbouring spot to con sult. The man Teetaram Chuckerbutty went to them then for the first time, and, joining in their conversation, advised them to resist sowing, and not to mind the consequences. Information of this was brought to Mr. Betts, who at once had him brought into court, heard the evidence, and, find ing that he was not acting as ➢looktar for any of the parties, convicted him of instigating with evil design the ryots not to sow. The committee admit that the sentence might not per haps have been strictly legal within tho words of the section of the act as amended and passed, but the mere fact of an error as to the interpretation of the wording of the act has a very different effect from that which the Lieutenant - Governor attributes to this decision, which he erroneously regards as a gross interference with the liberty of the legal agent of the. ryots. His Honour is wholly misinformed as to the ryots in that quarter not being able to obtain the services of legal agents to defend their cases, and it is wholly incorrect to state that the prosecutors for several days had it all their own way;' so far from this being the case, on the very same day, a complaint having been lodged against one really acting as a Mooktar before Mr. Betts, it was at once dis missed by him, on the ground that he could not interfere with the advice that any legal agent deemed it right to give to his client, and Mr. Betts distinctly pointed out to the complainants that the position of this man was wholly dif ferent from that of Teetaram Chuckerbutty. The Committee unhesitatingly refer to the records of the court in proof of their assertion that no Mooktar was de terred from representing ryots in consequence of Mr. Betts' decision, and they are quite at a loss to understand upon whose representation the Lieutenant-Governor has been led into so grave an error; and his Excellency will see how serious a matter this is when he observes the frequent and bitter allusions to it in the Minute. The other case on which his Honour comments, as showing not only misconduct on the part of Mr. Betts, but what is of far more importance to the committee, as sup porting the grave charges of forgery and perjury against a planter, or, at any rate, against their subordinates, is that mentioned in para. 32, which he says accidentally came to his knowledge, as one in which Mr. Betts gave a planter a decree against a ryot on a written agreement, purporting to have been made in 1856, though executed on stamped paper which on inspection proved to have been sold in 1859. On investigation this charge proves to be utterly un true. • The koboolyat or agreement in question, of which a copy and translation is herewith sent, recites that the ryot (Hishabdee Shaik Mundle) who was complained against,was indebted to the factory at the close of the season 1859, to the extent of 3r. 3s. and 6p. ; that he had received a further advance of 12r. in cash, in consideration of his engaging to cultivate 7 beegahs of indigo in 1860, and in the four fol lowing years terminating in 1864, the correctness of the account showing the balance of •3r. 3s. and 6p., and the payment of the advance of 12r. in cash, was sworn to by the manager of the factory, Mr. Tayler, and proved by Mr. Betts' inspection of the books, and on that evidence Mr. Betts gave the decree against the ryot on the 18th of April, 1860, and the committee would draw particular attention to the different years mentioned in that document as those over which the contract was to extend. On the 27th of July, 1860, Mr. Principal Sudder Ameen Bell, who is above referred to as being considered superior to the other magistrates, on hearing another case, delivered the judgment, of which a copy is herewith sent, and to which we beg his Excellency's particular attention, as his Excellency will perceive in that judgment he did refer to the koboolyat filed in the former case, which is above refer red to, and apparently without having made auy further in quiries, and certainly without having read the document which, in fact, was not in evidence before him, he gratui tously pronounced the same to be a spurious exhibit, inas much as it is dated at the foot, in figures, December, 1856, when the stamp was sold in November, 1859. The Committee beg his Excellency's attention to the ko boolyat, which requires only the slightest glance to show that the date of the English year 1856 is only a mistake and clerical error of the Bengalee writer, and that it was a koboolyat for seasons 1860 to 1864 inclusive, and that the whole text and wording of the agreement unquestion ably prove this to be the case. when an error was made in one of Mr. Herschel's Purwannahs, that of the 19th of April, which caused the planters' losses, that can only be estimated by tens of thousands of pounds, and Mr. Hersohel put forward, as his defence, that it was a clerical mistake, and that it was by accident that the obnoxious copy hap pened to go to the only place where it was likely to do harm, the planter did not refuse to accept the explanations how ever opposed to probability. It would seem, however, that no such feelings of fairness are to be evinced by the authorities towards planters, and thatno opportunity is to be omitted to misrepresent and malign them, and this is particularly the case in the pre sent instance, where the record could have at once been called for and inspected, and which in fairness ought to have been done. The Committee can only hope that neither Mr. Bell him self, whom the Lieutenant-Governor designates as the expe rienced Civil Judge; Mr. Herschel, the magistrate, who eagerly seized on the case and sent it up ; Mr. Lushington, the Commissioner who reported it to the Lieutenant-Gover nor; nor Mr. Grant himself, ever looked at the document before basing on it the grave charges that aro contained in the Minute. Five minutes' inspection would have prevented a most unjust accusation being put forward in an official document, and much of that official document would then have been unwritten. In para. 357 his Honour, on whom this case seems to have made much impression, again introduces the Koboolyat as the foundation of a sarcasm, and a slander on the whole body of planters, in the following words : It must doubtless have been agreeable to planters when their suits were tried on such a fashion, that decrees were obtainable on agreements purporting to be four years old, though written on stamp's which wereinthe vendor's shops one year ago." The Committee respectfully, but most earnestly, beg to submit to his Excellency that such language is as unworthy of a man holding Mr. Grant's high official position as it has now been proved to be unfounded and unjust; and should his Excellency (as they cannot but believe he will), view the matter in the same light as they do, they appeal to Hs high sense of honour and fairness to point out to the Lieu tenant-Governor the propriety of withdrawing the charge as publicly as it had been made. In the 37th para. his Honour replies to the complaint that was made, of his influencing the minds of judicial offi cers by circulating to all in the districts copy of a decision of Mr. Herschel, and of a letter from Mr. Lushington on the subject of a charge against the servants of a factory, respecting which Mr. Herschel had at that time made a preliminary inquiry. The communications referred to are annexed, and the committee appeal to his Lordship in Council to say if they are not of a nature to prejudice all magistrates against phtnters. _ _ The committee have carefully gone into the case referred to, which was sent up for trial to the judge, whose decision was adverse to the servants of the factory ; but the com• mittee do not hesitate to declare their belief that the deci sion is incorrect; that it was biassed by the proceedings of the Lieutenant-Governor; that it will•be reversed on ap peal; and if Government will publish Mr, Lushington's communications, the proprietors of the concern are prepared to prosecute fur a libel, with the object of proving that the allegations are unfounded and untrue. Beyond d efending the body they represent from the grave and sweeping charges brought against them by the Lieute nant-Governor, the committee do not desire to contest, or to enter into a controversy on individual cases, but they feel it their duty to protest on constitutional grounds against the interference of the Lieutenant-Governor, which has un questionably been exercised to such an extent as to impair, if not to destroy, judicial independence within the districts under his control. His Excellency will find on inquiry,lhat upon the abolition of the office of Superintendent of Police, an officer who, from his position, could not be classed with ythat of the Lieutenant-Governor, or be considered as having • any such, influence as that of the head of the Government, 'the suraing control over the proceedings of magistrates, pending or disposed of, rests in the hands of the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengil ;• and the Committee respectfully sub mit that such a power exercised as it is by Mr. Grant, who is superior to the whole judicial bench of Bengal, and who has complete power over the members of that body, is one that is dangerous to the true interests of justice, and one that ought not to exist; morn especially so when the un covenanted officers of that body are completely under the control and hold their offices subject to the pleasure of the Lieutenant-Governor alone. In thus replying to his Honour's minute, the Committee have avoided as much as possible acting otherwise than in a calm spirit ; but although they feel that they are contend ing with one whose position makes it impolitic on their part to enter into controversy with him, they cannot con sistently with their duty, or feeling as English gentlemen, representing a large European Asssociation, composed of many men who have not only invested their all in this country, but have done so in the belief that they would be protected by the leading principles of an European Govern ment, allow such serious charges as these brought by. his Honour to pass unremarked upon, and without protesting against the injustice and impropriety of them as they now do'; and, believing that a different line of conduct on the part of the Government of Bengal would have led to a very different result to that which now exists, they submit these remarks to his Excellency, trusting that this matter is one of sufficient importance to attract to its careful considera tion his Excellency's earnest attention, THE RECRUITING SERGEANT. It would be fortunate for the good understanding between France and England if all the descriptions of English life and manners submitted to the consideration of the French people were as faithful as that given of the British soldier by M. Alphonse Esquiros in the Revue. des Deux Mondes. The essays which that gentleman has produced on this subject are remarkable for their good sense and truth, Of course, he looks at our institutions from without, and draws involuntary comparisons be tween our country and his own, but we cannot remember to have seen any pictures of Englishmen by a foreign hand in which there was so little exag gerition, distortion, or error. In the last number of the Revue NI. Esquiros presents his countrymen with a general sketch of the British soldier and his position, of the method of recruiting, and of the state of things at the Camp of Aldershott. It will give a good specimen of his views, and revive a subject always interesting, if we examine his de scription of the system by which the numbers of our army are maintained. NI. Esquiros was on his way to the House of Commons one morning when he suddenly stopped at the corner of Charles-street, Westminster, and wondered, as well he might, at the parade ex hibited in that not very brilliant thoroughfare. The spectacle is well known to most frequenters of the Parliamentary quarter of the metropolis. Specimens of every corps in the British army ap peared in full dress about the pavement. Gigantic sergeants of cavalry lounged at the angle of the street with that peculiar air of indifference and display which none but a recruiting sergeant can assume. At the doors of the publichouses, which struck M. Esquiros as being both numerous and flourishing, stood smart representatives of the Line, Riflemen, Highlanders, Light Infantry, and men of all branches of the service. The pathway was thronged with people in earnest conversation, who occasionally disappeared with their military friends under the arch of the nearest tavern, and emerged again after an apparently pleasant interval of re creation. Overhead hung the colours of England, sometimes suspended from a window, sometimes flaunting from cords stretched right across the street. M. Esquiros wondered what all this meant, and inquired of a policeman on duty, who replied with characteristic self-possession that it was " nothink," but added, out of compassion probably for a foreigner's ignorance, that they were " re eruiting for old England ; that's all.' That was enough. M. Esquiros presently discovered that he was at the head-quarters of the London recruiting district, and upon this he proceeds, like Washington Irving upon seeing Westminster Abbey, to descant on the institutions suggested to his mind. The description of our recruiting system which M. Esquiros then gives is in all particulars sub stantially correct—so correct, indeed, that it would be perfectly superfluous for us to transcribe his ac count. This, however, is not all, for his reflections are generally well founded also, and he arrives at an estimate of the result which, in the main, is sur prisingly accurate. With that organising turn of mind for which his countrymen are distinguished, he classifies the motives which induce our recruits to enter the army, and concludes that one or more of three influences must always be at work to pro duce voluntary enlistment. A recruit must be actuated by patriotism, by inclination, or by neces sity. It is at this point, however, that M. Esquiros has gone a little beside the mark. He has not taken sufficient account of the first-named motives, and has consequently ascribed too much preponderance to the last. In point of fact, he considers that re cruits generally enlist under the pressure of actual want, and for the immediate purpose of keeping body and soul together by the subsistence which the recruiting sergeant offers. This is not the case. Not to mention that our Poor Law secures all per sons against absolute destitution, it is certain that any man possessed of the muscular vigour required for admission to the army could get his own liveli hood if he were willing to work. We have no longer much surplus population, and there is a good demand everywhere for any kind of skilled labour. The case of the recruit, in most instances, is not that he has learnt no trade or can get no work, but that accident, circumstances, or natural restlessness of spirit have given him a distaste for his ordinary occupation, cost him his place, and reduced him to momentary want. M. Esquiros, it is true, recog nmiaseusywvietuhtsgirueavtarrieuaudsincievsisl pursuits suniattsiothnaalt turn for abdevennutugrree, a b t ut re t s h i e d s u e e en a e v r ai gi l e a s bl h e e ftohrintkhsemausitihnitefiidtea ofnso the army. The remark, however, will not apply certain classes from which the army is largely re cruited. Take a ploughboy or an artisan possessed with a roving spirit or an irresistible craving for adventure, and the chances are ten to one but the army is the only career open to him. In many cases he could not even get to sea, whereas there is no parish or hamlet so secluded but what 4. .ceruumg sergeant is somewhere at hand. Lads of this sort are seldom forecasting or considerate. They want to escape from their actual position, and to escape at once. Their good friend the sergeant is exactly the man for them. He offers them not only instan staneous settlement in a dazzling profession, but a very handsome sum of money down, and all this with a promise of an easy life- in spheres where none of their present troubles will ever reach them again. What wonder if they close with such a bargain ? We learn from M. Esquiros that his countrymen do not by any means share the admiration with which we are wont to regard our system of volun tary enlistment. He himself half doubts whethe? the term is quite applicable to a system in wil, i _ c m a necessit, as he thinks supplies that coercion' 0 conclusions are impartially drawn. wh which ole the his law description abstains; is but still, faithful, ulipaoenndfaritira.hiiy: admits that the recruiting sergeant, with allaargain , his rhodomontade, offers a rea lly good bargain, and that the ranks of the array furnish the agri cultural labourer with a pursu it more productive and promising than that i n w hich he is engaged.
