" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The casos which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample eri 3euce of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of!pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. let, 1858. - London: IL Bailliere, 219, Regent-street; THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every person having an interest in domestic or farm animals should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching season.

''''''''' ' .- . spoke the attention of the pain eo k a r . elucidating one of the most promigOlt geeettio. of the day—namely, the extent to which, under the existing law, the proceedings of Trades' Unions in their attempts to regulate the terms of labour might fairly be carried. The tendency of cur legislation on this subject has recently been all in favour of the operative classes. They were not only protected in the privilege of voluntary combination,' bat were allowed to exercise influence with those of their trade who had not combined, provided that such interference did not exceed the limits of peaceful and reasonable suasion. - Unionists on " strike," for instance, might recommend non-rie ionists to follow their example, on condition only that no iutiruida tion or molestation entered into their proceedings. • The object of the law, in fact, was to give the workmen the greatest amount of - freedom com patible with tire rights of individuals. Any num ber of them might agree among themselves to -enhance by concerted action the value of their labour, and they might • lawfully also persuade others to their own way of thinking, and so increase-the power and effect of their combi nation, • but they were not to molest, threaten, or terrify those who chose .to follow a course of their own. - These doctrines seem tolerably plain, and are certainly not wanting in consideration for the .claims of labour. The questiou, however, which arose more than once out of transactions connected with the Builders! Strike was, what constituted the intimidation forbidden by the statute ? How far might ' men go in the way of persuasion without passing the bounds of reasonable and peaceful argu ment ? It soon became evident that masters and mereheld different views on this point, arid the ques tion was brought to issue in a case of some note. Mr. William Perham, a stonemason by trade, and also Secretary to the Masons' Union, and one of the delegates of the Strike Committee, was prosecuted by Messrs. Piper, the, builders, as having trans gressed the law. For his alleged offence he was brought before Mr. Corrie, at the Clerkenwell Police:court, was there convicted, and sentenced to two months' imprisonnient. Against this decision, however, an appeal was entered, which was duly' heard at the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday. last, and the report of which appeared In our columnS of the day following. The ease was clearly regarded as a decisive one on both sides. Perham was de fended by the Builders' Society, and the services of Mr. Edwin James were engaged on his b e half ; while Messrs. Piper disclaimed all vindictive or personal feeling; and sought only to establish- a principle. There was a full bench of magistrate; and the question, which happened to be very per spicuous in its form, was fairly argued. About the facts, indeed, there eseis little or no dispute. The foreman of Messrs. Piper, Robjohn by name, had been sent out in September last to look for masons, in the place of those who had discontinued work g. l had hOn the Ist of of October rhe Devonshire,hetrabirioi ti,:ethr.tadudping.lB. workmen of thi s c l ass from Devonshire, but no sooner Padding ton than an emissary of the Strike Committee ap peared on his track, and by the time the men had been taken to their lodgings for the night Mr. Perham presented himself, and claimed them as his own. He pursued his object by dogging their footsteps, and making them offers of various kinds, till, in the end, he actually succeeded in in ducing 14 out of the IS to forego their agreements, and return to the country. It was not, however, on these acts that the charge was, founded. All this, it seems, Mr. Perham was held at liberty to do, but " - with this he was not content. He told the men, in the course of his proceedings, that if they disre garded his arguments, and persisted in their design of going to work for Messrs. Piper, they would be considered as " blacks," an expression perfectly understood, but which he himself explained at the time by adding that they would be all "struck against" by the masons of the union, until they were turned out. In other words, these men were warned that unless they did as the unionists desired they would, as far - as the unionists could effect such a purpose, lee deprived of that work by which they got their bread. The masons in combination would " strike against them," that is to see-, would refuse to work in their 'company, so that the masters might be compelled, for the sake of their business, to refuse them employment. This was the conduct which was formally defended as peaceful and lawful within the meaning of the statute. Dismissing. the exceptions incidentally taken by Mr. Edwin James to the original conviction—one of which has been already overruled—we find that experienced advocate basing the defence of his client on the rules in the trade. After contending that the statute was- directed against " overt moles tation," " violence," and "personal injury," he argued that it could not apply to the case of Perham, who, in amicable discourse with the men, and in the-het:fir ing of Robjohn himself, had merely " told them that if they went to work in the room of men who had struck they would be regarded as 'blacks,' and struck against throughout the trade. How could that be construed into violent intimidation ? It was a rule in the trade. 'Was it a case to which it was ever contemplated the Act should be applied ?'"ro this inquiry the magistrates replied by a prompt and unanimous decision that the Act did apply to the case in question,and that Perhana's words amounted to a direct menace cal culated to deter the men from performing the work they had undertaken. From that conclusion few reasoning people will be found to dissent. The men under Robjohn's - charge were distinctly threatened with the loss of their subsistence, or, in other words, with utter destitution, such penalty being visited upon them by combinations of others for that special purpose. If such threats do not constitute intimi dation it is hard to see how intimidation could be employed at all. Accordingly Mr. Corrie's decision was duly con firmed, and so far, therefore, we may assume it as ruled that it is not lawful for any set of workmen to coerce othei workmen into their opinions by threatening to strike against them ; but we must now follow but this principle a little, and apply it to those standing rules and by-laws of the Masons' Union, which the masters have desired to see modi fied, and which the men so stoutly defend. Mr. Edwin James in this very speech asserted that "the rules of the Builders' Societies had never been impugned as ille gal ; it had been offered to sub mit them to the highest legal authority in the country, to see if there was any regulation or prin ple contrary to the spirit of the law of the land and to the free rights of the artisan." Yet he had also asserted, in • the words before quoted, that " blacking" a man, though a non-unionist, for non compliance with the laws of the Union, was a " rule in the trade;" and we should imagine that the " free rights of an artisan" were coneiderably interfered with when he was told that he could not go to work with the employer of his own choice, but must, on pain of practical outlawry, take his orders from a set of men with whose con cerns he had no kind of connexion. One of two things is clear,—either that this threat of proserip ' Lion and rain constitutes no intimidation whatever —a proposition which we do not suppose Mr. Janes would maintain,—or that intimidation enters essen tially into those' Union laws which he thinks cannot be impugned. This, in fact, is the truth of the whole matter: Trades' Unions arc worked by coercion from first to last—coercion directed not merely against employers but against workmen themselves. In the former case it is so far lawful that .the pressure put upon. masters by voluntary combinations of men for the purpose of enhancing the price of labour is allowed. by statute; but iu the.latter case it is wrong altogether, wrong when exercised directly by individuals, and wrong there fore when inculcated by the regulations of a society. It . was argued with much ingenuity it this casethat the threats charged against Perham were not threats proceeding from himself, or intimations of his own purposes or principles, but merely repre sentations friendly w o a t i l n f i h n e g t A conveyed According nbgy this simply told the men what would happen if they ran counter to the views of the Unionists, the ad monition being plainly to their advantage. Such in the way het' a view of the matter was too subtle for the magi strate 3, who - rejected it decidedly, but if it could have been sustained the result would only have been the tranfer of the blame from the :shoulders of Perham himself to the Union which he represented. There was plain intimidation in the case, where ever it originated, and, as Mr. Perham has been thus held accountable for using a menace which, according to Mr. James's own admission, enters as a standing rule into the regulations of the trade, we are at a loss to see how these regulations them selves can be defended any longer.— Times. PIKE 4'). S VAMPED, SD• l'ul effect of organisation,as compared with the effect of having isolated bodies of men not trained to act together. It is not long since a terrific tempest passed ever Great Britain. It was a tempest so violent that it strewed with wrecks the shore of the country. - It trial • to' the utmost the-beams of the Great Eastern, the greatest ,vessel that ever breasted the waves; it broke into a thousand pieces the Royal Charter, which had sailed safely through the Southern Ocean. But, gentleinen, in - that ter rific storm, when the storm was scattering every navy in Europe, the Channel Fleet nobly breasted the gale, the Admiial hung out the signal," Put in order of battle,'! they went directly in the teeth of the wind, and, in the eloquent words of the per, son who describ e d it i n th e 1 imes, they sped like dolphins beside the Eddystone' Lighthouse, the most. dangerous position of the channel, and they rode modern trillmpi i t a i n n i l l e y s" s " s u e g e t: l l ie ro f u no st l gale here tine (li ffere t i l l i c a e t between organised efliwts • of brave men, and iso lated efforts of men equally brave, it may be equally skilful, but not trained by organisation and dilci pline. When I look around inc at this moment, when I contemplate similar meetings in every part of the country, I see the nation, which has been weakened for ,a long time, consolidating its strength, and supporting bodies which have the might of armed men. And I trust that the omen of the Channel Fleet surmounting all the dangers of that terrible tempest is an omen of the correspond ing victory that will accrue to the British empire if the same spirit which I see around me, and which animated those brave men on that occasion, is shared by the people in other parts of the country, and that, in the words of Homer, " It is an omen in the cause of God." (Enthusiastic applause.) The resolution was carried amid great accla mation. Sheriff BELL moved the second resolution : " That the organisation, on a wide and extensive scale, of volunteer corps in aid of her Majesty's regular forces, ought to be promoted among all classes,, the defence of the country being thereby largely intrusted to the loyalty and patriotism of people." We all remember that Rot many months have passed since. one of our Government Ministers pub licly declared that the question of peace or war with France was•only a question of a few hours. That crisis we have most fortunately passed over; but it will not do for this country to lie on its oars, and pooh pooh the danger, saying we will be ready to meet it when the time comes. (Loud cheers.) - This is the first time in the history of the world . that our steam navy has been so low as to be on an equality with France. Now, it is not an old woman's tale that in this state of matters it is pos sible, were any question of war to spring up—it is not an old woman's story that it is perfectly pos sible that 100,000 French troops could be landed in one day . on the shores of Great Britain. Cer tainly no old woman, but the greatest man that ever set foot on British soil, the late Duke of Wel lington, who, in April, 1846, in a celebrated letter, addressed Sir John Burgoyne, in which he admitted as an imperative necessity the existence of a force in this country of 150,000 men. He says : "As wo stand now, our fleet is not enough to provide for our defence. We are not safe for a week. I am an old soldier of 77 years of age—years which I have passed in honour; and Y pray that the MU - light - 3r will not permit me now to see what I cannot prevail upon my contemporaries to take means to prevcnt.' General Shaw Kennedy, who has consulted with many of our best admirals, says :-- "An important view has been taken by Admiral Sarto tins, in a letter to the Times, of the possibility of a landing being effected in this country by a hostile force, in which is pointed out the means now g,iren to France, by the power of steam, to direct upon any named point of the coast of Britain or of Ireland steam vessels from any number what ever of the ports of France, so as to arrive at the named point at almost the same hour." If we are to suppose the possibility of this invasion, the possibility of this landing, it is impossible we can have imaginations to conceive the result to this con n try. ( Loud applause.) Principal BARcLAv, in seconding the resolution, said—Our duty is to be prepared in the most effec tual and economical manner that can be conceived. tear, hear.) The Rev. Dr. : NORMAN 11PLEors, of the Barony, _ . moved the third resolution. It was as follows : 1 -- " That Glasgow, from her population and public spirit, and from the vast interests she has at stake iu the preser vation of peace, is called upon to place herself in the very (rout rank of such a movement ; and this meeting views with the highest satisfaction the enthusiasm which has already led to the formation of so large and efficient a body of volunteers, and which is weekly adding to their number." Mr. LAURENCE OLIPHANT, who seconded the motion, said-- . 410re than two years have elapsed since I left England to proceed to China, and at the time of my departure not a word was heard of this great volunteer movement ; but when I now come back I find the volunteer spirit animating-my coun trymen from one end of the kingdom to the other. And why P When I look across the Channel and see the great and growing navy, and the mighty armaments in France and along the French coast, I do not wonder any longer at the enthusiasm which I see prevailing all around me. But•having been part of those two years on board a man-of-war, at times in conjunction with French war-ships, and having actually seen them going through their naval operations, if it is any satisfaction,' may state —and in this every British officer who was present will bear me out—that we had ampte proof of the inferiority of the French war-ships to our own in seamanship and skill. (Hear, and applause.) As au illustration, I may state that going. up the Peiho little more than a year ago I - was accommodated in an English gunboat, and in going round one of the narrow sharp corners of that river we saw a French gunboat on a sandbank—as French gun boats often .were—and our Lieutenant, who was a good fellow, determined to go and help her off. The French- officer, who spoke English pretty well, came on board to explain his difficul ties; and at this moment the . British Admiral came by. " What are you doing there, sir ?" he ex claimed. To which my friend, the lieutenant, re plied in' his kindly, rough, bold voice—" I am tak ing care of this Frenchman, sir." (Laughter and applause.) And when I look across the Channel to France and see the man who fills the throne of that. empire, I say; though in a very different sense, '" Take care of the Frenchman." I say it is impos sible to regard the attitude which this country holds on the continent of Europe, and without re- fleeting on the policy of our Government—and without saying that this attitude can be avoided, I think it must be plain to all of us that our position in reference to the kingdoms of Europe is a dan gerous and an anomalous one. We are the cham pions of liberty—we are wedded to that sacred principle, and yet we are allied with !a man who is kept on his throne by hundreds of thousands of bayonets. This is an inconsistency, and, like all other inconsistencies, it will in the course of time work out evil consequences. In the meantime we are doing our best to keep on friendly relations with France, and we are right in so doing ; - but every body knows that it would be better to carry on the war in China by ourselves. But. in order to please our ally, we are obliged to join our forces to those of the Emperor, or at least we are obliged to wait for them. At the same time we may not say what we think, or do what is right in reference to the Spanish affair, because the Emperor supports the policy of Spain as regards Morocco. A Congress, we are told, is to assemble, and we are to be invited to join it ; but it is easy to see what will be the consequences—it is easy to see that we will be in a minority amid these despotic nations, and that their counsels will be predominant. And under these circumstances it is not difficult to note that the position of things is preg nant with consequences serious to this country. It is said that the Emperor knows what are the feelings of this country as to an invasion ; but I will say it is impossible for any one but a, freeman to feel what the consequences of an invasion really are. No one but a freeman can experience that feeling which thrills the heart and tingles to the finger ends at the prospect of the invasion of his country. I thank God it is so. It is that feel ing which makes us well know that it is not until the head is in the lion's mouth that one feels the strength of his jaws. @rear, hear.) Let us all be impressed with the truth of the fact that it is ne cessary to have a regular army to meet a regular army. Sir J. 17,11: CAMPBELL moved the fourth resolu tion to the following effect : " That a subscription-list be immediately opened to pro vide funds in furtherance of this movement, and in supple ment Ogle Government supply ; that a general appeal be made to the citizens to aid it to the utmost by contributions or personal service; and that a committee be appointed to superintend the management and distribution of the fund." Captain W. S. DIXON seconded the resolution, which was carried. • Captain W. J. MACQUORN RANKINE proposed the fifth and last resolution as follows : " That as a volunteer organisation, to be thoroughly effective, must.bo general over the country, the resolutions of thismeeting be published; in order to incite other locali ties to a similar course of action." The resolution was agreed to amid cheering. On the motion of Bailie CourEn, the thanks of the meeting were Voted by acclamation to Bailie Clouston for presiding.

On resigning command of the division the gallant colonel notified in public orders, " that in, thus severing the tie which from early youth has bound him to the gal lant corps in which it has been his study to perform his duty as he conceived best for the interests of the service, he cannot repress the pang that every heart must feel at parting from the comrades of a long life—the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Royal Marines. Ire wishes them a-kind good=bye, health, prosperity, and hap piness." Col. Second Commandant T. Lemon, C. 8., has assumed command of the division. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN GLASGOW. In Perms of a requisition addressed to the Lord Provost a meeting of the citizens was held in the City-hall, Glasgow, on Wednesday night, ‘.‘to con sider the best means of promoting and encouraging the volunteer movement in Glasgow." The hall was densely crowded in every corner, and the de monstration was of the most earnest, enthusiastic, and successful character. The general public was accommodated in the great hall, and the volunteers in uniform, to the amount of between 700 and 800, occupied the galleries---amagnificent body of young men. The Lord Provost, who sympathised with the movement very heartily, was absent from indispo sition. On the motion of Bailie Whyte, Bailie Clouston was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedin„fn Sir A. ALISON moved the first resolution, as fol lows : " That this meeting, while earnestly trusting that friendly relations will continue to be maintained with foreign States, is at the same time impressed wilh the conviction that the surest means of averting the danger of war, and continuing to our beloved land the blessings of peace and commercial prosperity, is a thorough and complete system of national defence." Sir Archibald then said—Gentlemen and fellow citizens—l am sure I speak the united voice of this great assembly when I say we owe a debt of grati tude to the Lord Provost for having called this meeting at this crisis. It was fitting for Glasgow, the first city in Scotland in population, in wealth, and in importance, to take the. lead in this great movement—a movement which is felt from . the Land's End, as has been stated, to the furthest extremity of Scotland—which, I trust, will enable the united British Empire to show a front to every hostile force, which may set the united powers of the world at defiance, and make us maintain that high position among the nations, and those liberties and that religion which havelitcri handed to us by our noble predecessors. (Cheers.) Standing as I do in the heart of this great city, I need not say that the policy, the wishes, and the interest of England and Scotland are to re main at peace. No defensive preparations. no eli citing of unanimous enthusiasm in defence of the country, can ever give a foreign nation a pretext to say that we are actuated by aggressive motives, that we are disposed to invade or disturb other countries. We are essentially a pacific people. There is no war can be waged in any part of the world which does not strike at some British in- dnstry, and there is no war can be waged by our selves that would not bring upon us, if it were with a great Power, an amount of distress and suffering which it is painful to contemplate. Therefore, we are a pacific people. And if we now show a war like attitude, if we now show that we ate deter mined to maintain the independence of the country and its honour and the honour and reputation of the State, it is not because we are a warlike or ag gressive people, but because we are a free and inde pendent people, and that while we will do no injury to any man, we will allow no man to injure us. (Great applause.) It is not surprising to me that this crisis has arisen. It has arisen, I think, not so much from the aggressive policy of anv foreign Power by which we may be immediately threatened —it has arisen from a long succession of causes which are now beginning to tell upon us, and which have forced upon the nation and aroused in the nation the unanimous conviction that a great stand must be made for our liberties and our independ ence. (Cheers . .) But the cause which has rendered this movement necessary is just in its ultimate effects the great triumphs and the unparalleled glories that we have before achieved For what was the effect of those glories and of those triumphs ? It was that it bred in Great Britain a feeling of security—a feel ing that it was unnecessary to continue our efforts — that we might lay aside our armour and hang up our swords in our paternal halls, because that success led us to think that we should be able to stand against the world if it were opposed to us. That was the feeling that pervaded the nation of England, and hence it was that we disarmed to such an extent during the long period of 40 years. For whereas at the end of the late war we had 240 sail of the line in Royal yards, and 107 at sea bearing the Royal flag, we now have only 65 sail of the line in the dockyards, and 37 bearing the Royalfiag at sea. Besides this, we cannot bring forward more than 50,000 regular troops to defend the nation from inva sion. That was the consequence of the cause I have mentioned—of the feeling of unbounded security and confidence which arose front the magnitude of our former triumphs. But consider what the effect of that was upon other nations. We exhibited to them a spectacle which could not fail to produce heartburn ing among them, for they saw in us a wealth which they had not the industry. to acquire, a liberty which they had not the stability to bear, a glory which they had not been able to attain. That led in all the nations of Europe to a feeling of jealousy towards this country, which will sooner or later lead to a general attack by them upon us. Such was the effect of the cause I have mentioned—an exhibition of envy on the one hand, and a remissness of pre paration on the other. We see the effect of this in the serious wars in which European nations have been lately engaged. We see that our want of pre paration tempted the Russians to cross the Pruth and led to the Crimean war. 'We see that immedi ately afterwards it led to a dreadful revolt in our N l v l r e a a r r e e a a l p r p e a r o d a y e e h i i i n g g a gteod host o n s i t t i i leis ties Indian Nvi th China, with America, and we are on very doubtful terms even with the great Power on the other side of the Channel. You will see, therefore, that our ideas of security have not been realised. On the contrary, so far from being secure, our danger arises from those circumstances, mainly, that we have not made suffi cient preparations to maintain our position. I have taken especial care hi these remarks to say nothing in regard to that great Power, recently our ally— I hope it may never become our enemy—from which an attack is more immediately apprehended. I will always speak with respect of the French. I will always speak with respect of the Emperor of the 'French. (Applause, and some hisses.) I admire the talent, and I know the ability of the French Emperor. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") Listen, gentlemen, to what I say. It is be cause I know the bravery of France, because I know the power of France, and because I know the spirit and the ability of the Emperor —it is just for this reason that I say the volunte;r movement is indis pensably called for by Great Britain. (Tremendous applause.) This is not a case of dispute—it is not a quarrel or temporary necessity. France and Eng land have been old rivals. England was conquered by France 800 years ago in one battle fought on the coast of Sussex. It was conquered by a province of France, and that is a warning and a lesson to u s at this time. Seventeen years of slavery a nd suffering followed the conquest of England by France; and what was the feeling aroused in Eng land by that circumstance ? It was a feeling of revenge against France, and a number of times we invaded France. For 120 years the Eng lish wars desolated France, and twice over tho Eng lish army marched through the streets of Paris, and twice over the English cavalry marched from Calais to Bayonne. The nations of England and France, therefore, arc old rivals. They , are rivals of 800 years' standing, and, being old rivals, we have been so often pitted against each other in the ring that it is no wonder they should like to avenge them selves for the last overthrow in the tournament. It is, therefore, necessary that we should be armed; and I say that the French are brave and patriotic, and they arc determined to rival us in every way they can ; but I say we are patriotic, and we are 'nave, and we are as much determined to maintain the power which we possess. (Great applause.) There are many circumstanc es inde pendently of what I have said which loud l y call for this movement, and which, although the sub ject has been so often spoken of in public meetings in Great Britain, I am surprised to say I have never yet seen noticed. But, nevertheless, 1 hope when I have stated them you will see that they bear strongly on this subject, and I am sure they will deserve your attention. It is often said by people in this country that we need not be afraid of the French, for we have a great mercantile navy of 220,000 sailors, who at any time can be added to our regular navy, and therefore we are perfectly secure. In the present state of matters I pray you to observe this—the great mercantile navy of England, so far froni being a refuge or support. is—people say that it can be made otherwise—but as matters stand it is the most serious weakness that we have, The wages of the seamen in the mercantile navy are 50s. a month, while the wages of seamen in the Royal navy are only 31s a month. (Hear.) It has been often said, how does it happen that there are so many English sailors in the American navy? And in the late strife with that country we were really often fighting our own navy. The answer to that question simply is, that there is wonderful strength in half a . dollar a-day. (Hear, hear.) That is the way that matter stands as regards our mercantile navy. How can we ex pect that men, many of them having families, are to join the Royal navy at so great a loss ? Do not, thgrefore, let us lay our heads on our pillows and say we are perfectly safe because we have a great mercantile navy. Our mercantile navy is just a huge competitor which drains men from the royal navy. Then, again, consider the state of the army. 'When the militia were called out in January last there were 100,000 men less in the militia and regular army than had been voted by the Parliament of last year. Now, how was that ? I will tell you how it was. It was just an affair of money, like the other. The pay of the soldier is ls. ld. a-day, and the same class of men are earn ing at their respective employments 25., 2s. 6d., 35., 45., or ss. a-day, Can you wonder that, there is a difficulty in raising men for the royal army i when you see that there is such a difference n the reward ? Now, there is our great weakness and our danger—so that when men point to our navy and our army we see that they are a great weak ness, instead of being the greatest possible source of strength to us. There is another consideration of the last importance, and it is this,—unlike any other country in Europe, we are compelled to main tain an ithmense standing army in India and in the colonies. At this moment there are 90,000 men in India, and 30,000 or 40,000 in the colonies, making a total of 130,000 veterans who are out of the country. The only other State which has to maintain an army abroad is France, which has a certain number of soldiers in Algeria. They, how ever, can be brought over in a few days to be of service in Europe. But there is another most im portant consideration in addition to these—viz., that we have for the last 15 years been subject to So serious a drain in the way of emigration. You notmay h aware,tut du but rece t n h tPar in l le iamentay returns about 3,000,000 persons have emigrated, averaging about 250,000 a•year ; and you will be able to form some idea of the drain that has been made on the mill- tary service, when I say that annual drain by emi gration has been double the loss sustained by the empire of France from the retreat from Moscow. Now, I neyer bring forrard evils unless I can point out a remedy. I think I will be able to point out how it is that these evils may be remedied, and how it is that we will be able to make our strength of what at present is the source of our weakness. (Hear.) The first step I would take in this matter would be at ore blow, and without the least delay, to raise the pay of the soldiers and sailors and the militia from ls. ld. to ls. Bd. or 2s. a day. (Applause.) If you do this for the military, and do the same for the royal navy, you will find that the whips of the line will he filled with sailors, and you will find the ranks of the regular army will be filled with able and valiant men, and you will have no difficulty whatever in raising such a force as is requisite to defend the country. The next measure that I would propose is this :—We are told that it would be very expensive to do that; that the country cannot afford it ; that it is abso lutely uecessary to attend only to a volunteer force, and not do anything with regard to the regular army. I will say here that I am as great a friend of the volunteer force as any man alive, but we are told that the country cannot afflrd to pay their troops and their sailors in such a way as to gain an of body of men, I may state that I have gathered from a Parliamentary return issued the other day that, since the year 1811, we have repealed taxes to the amount of £31,500,000, £10,600,000 being the double income-tax. That as e all know. There re mains, therefore, £21,500,000 that has been given up since 1844. Now, one-fourth of that sum would raise the pay of our soldiers and sailors to an ade quate amount, and would put us in a state of com parative security. What in comparison with the restoring of those indirect taxes in a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, is the danger of being conquered by the French? I will just give you one or two facts to let you know what you may ex pect if the French ever conquered this country—(a laugh)—in addition to the horrors of war and the massacre of men. In the matter of pounds, shil lings, and pence, it will affect the pockets of every human being in the country. In 1808, Napoleon went to Portugal, and he said he came as a libera tor, to free the Portuguese from their yoke. The first thing lie did when he got into Lisbon was to by a contribution of £4,000,000 sterling of Portu guese money, equal to at least £10,000,000 in Scot land. Napoleon went in 1796 to Milan as a libe rator, and the first thing he did was to impose £BOO,OOO upon the liberated city. He then went to Venice, and he imposed there £2,500,000. In 1806 he went to Prussia, and levied upon Prussia—con taining only about 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 of inhabi tants—a contribution to the amount of £24,000,000 sterling, and he actually squeezed the money out of the country in the five years by military occupa tion. In 1812, he said, in a letter to Davoust, when that Ger.eral was in Hamburg, " If you had shot six of the principal merchants of Hamburg, on the day you entered, it would have been well ; but as you have not done that, you must just make them pay for it, and, therefore, I require you to lay hold of 200 of the principal merchants. and keep them as hostages for the psyment of 50,000,000 fr.," and he actually levied that sum, equal to about £2,000,000 sterling, upon Hamburg, which at that time only contained about 80,000 inhabitants, and the imposition would be equal to £10,000,000 in this city. You see at what price the peace-at-any price gentlemen would purchase their salvation. (A laugh.) I would say that although we may by increasing the pay increase our regular forces, and of course our militia, yet it is indispensable that we should, in addition, have the support of a great body of volunteers. I hope that the time is coining when we shall see 30 sail of the line iu the Channel, when we shall see 15 sail of the line in the Mediterranean, 100,000 regular troops in Great Britain, and 80,000 militia. I am sure the object could be gained if the Government would adopt the plan which I propose, and I am sure no one would feel it a burden That done, all that we require is the assistance of a great volunteer force. A force that would bring 100,000 men together in stead of 20,000, which could be done now in front of London, would not be sufficient, unless it were sup ported by a great force in the rear, for the French, if they once got the command of the Channel, could throw as many men over in a week as they brought to fight at Solferino. But if there is a sufficient and adequate volunteer force in the country, then I say we may be altogether invincible. I do not pretend to say that volunteers, however brave and skilful they may be, can at once be brought to equal efficiency with regular soldiers, but I say that volunteers may be the greatest of supports to a nation engaged in a strwrgle for independence, when I find that in Portugal the Duke of Welling ton, with 30,000 regular troops and 30,000 Portu guese—a brave volunteer force—resisted the efforts of 300,000 Frenchmen, whereas in Spain, with a similar force, the attempt ended in nothing but de feat. In conclusion, I would say that what I think should be done in order to render the country com paratively safe is to bring all its best resources to bear at once upon its necessities. I look around, me, and sec an excellent body of 2,000 volunteers, that, lam sure, will be second to none in the world in bravery, skill, and military discipline. (Cheers.) What I think should be done is that there should be a thorough organisation. Now, where would be the point of danger? The point of danger would be London or Woolwich. Woolwich, being our only arsenal, would probably be one of the first places attacked. We must not only have great re sources in Scotland and England, and other parts, but we must have the means to bring these resources at once to bear on the poineof clan ger. Now, if France landed on the coast of Sussex, in five days they would be in London if they were not resisted. Now, consider this; we have a railway system throughout the whole country, and by its means the volunteers might be sent up to the support of the regulars from Plymouth and other . places. They could sup port them as light troops in every possible way, and in that way they could more than double the strength of the whole army. (Cheers.) With these volunteers in the various parts of the country Great Britain would be altogether invincible. I will con clude with one observation, with a most memorable instance, which will show you what is the wonder- 21IE An order was issued yesterday at Portsmouth, signed by Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., directing all captains in command of her Majesty's ships in Portsmouth harbour and at Spithead to assemble at a general court-martial on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, at 9 a.m. on the 26th inst., and such subsequent days as may be de termined upon, for the trial of a portion of the crew of her Majesty's ship Princess Royal, on charges arising out of the late disturbances on board that ship. The screw gunl vessel Mohawk, 4, Commander P. J. C. M'Dougall, arrived at Plymouth on Wed nesday. • She was placed along side the coal depot in the Sound, and when coaled will sail for Gibral tar and Malta. _ _ The screw steamship Conflict, 8, Commander R. W. Courtenay, was taken out of No. 1 dock, at De vonport, on Wednesday, and placed in the basin at Keyham steamyard, where she will be docked. The screw steam corvette Jason, 21, !was taken into No. 1 dock, at Devonport, on Wednesday, to be coppered. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 90, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe, will probably leave Plymouth to-day. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander J. Day man, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday for Gib raltar, with the steam dredging vessel intended for service at Malta. The Rhadamanthus, paddle, Master-Commander Sturdee, arrived at Portsmouth ydterday from Woolwich, with boilers and machinery, &c. The Swinger and the Pincher gunboats, at Ports mouth, are ordered to be made ready for immediate service. The screw steamer Bacchante, 51, at Portsmouth, is complete in her machinery, with the exception of her propeller, and will shortly proceed on her trial trip. The screw steamer Himalaya, troopship, Com mander J. Seecombe, at Portsmouth, has had the date of her departure for China—the 4th proximo —cancelled. Her ultimate destination is at present , uncertain. The crew haie been granted extended leave of absence to the 3d proximo. Private letters from Shanghai received by the last mail state that the Cruiser was to resume her station off the mouth of the Peiho river in January. One letter says,—" The new landing place is no great distance from the river's mouth ; we pulled ashore the other day, when a Chinese boat met us, in which were some mandarins in disguise; they wished to know what we wanted, when we replied that we had come to ask after the wounded prisoners, our countrymen. They said they had no prisoners ; the only prisoner they had they gave up to the Amcrican Minister. Did we belong to those ships they could see off there, as they caused them a ()Teat deal of trouble? Did we want anything else? we replied, we want some sugar.' Then, they could not give us any ; they were not allowed to do so; and the sooner we were off the better;' and, finding that nothing could be made of them, we followed their advice." The writer adds,—" During the time we were holding conversation with the Chinese in the boat, we could see others in the Ilightlyer's pinnace pulling about the sunken Coro mandel, and appearing as though they were mak ing attempts to raise her from her position." Tho experiments with hollow shells filled with molten iron from a cupola furnace of new construe• tion were resumed at Portsmouth yesterday. On the former occasion, it will be in the remembrance of our readers, the shells were filled on board the Colossus, in e steam basin at Portsmouth, and fired from a gun on board the Excellent gunnery ship, a considerable time elapsing between the shell being filled and its being fired at the object, render ing the result of the experiment futile for the pur pose intended. Since that time the Stork gunboat, tender to the Excellent, has been fitted with one of the cupola furnaces, and from this vessel the firing took place yesterday. The results were of the most satisfactory nature,proving the fearful powers of the missile on its effecting a lodgment in any part of a ship, as shortly after the firing commenced the Un daunted frigate, moored on the mud of Porchester Lake (which was the object fired at), burst out into a mass of flame from the fore channels right aft, and burnt for some time furiously. The Stork then gave her some shots near her water lino, and sank her as well as the depth of water would allow. A floating fire-engine was afterwards towed up by a steam-tug from the dockyard to put out the re mainder of the fire. From the appearance of the Undaunted when the tide had left her yesterday afternoon, the fire must have obtained great hold upon her before it was finally extinguished. It is impossible to attach too much importance to this undoubted proof of what a gunboat fitted like the Stork can do against an enemy's line-of-battle ship. A ship as large as the Duke of Wellington, 131 guns and 1,200 men, would have shared the fate of the Undaunted. The inventor of the "furnace" and "molten iron" poured into a hollow shot has shown results which are destined to tell with ter rible effect wherever his deviee is brought into requisition. The late eommander of her Majesty's ship Tri dent, Mr. F. A. Close, has written to us to contra dict a paragraph in "Naval Intelligence" in The Sun of Monday, which alleged "that the Trident is officially reported by the dockyard authorities to have been paid off in a far less orderly con dition than the Devastation, and was subject to the censure of the examining officers of the yard." Commander Close says that the statement in ques tion " is wholly unfounded, which assertion I make with perfect ability of proving it from the highest authority." THE ARMY. • The following general order, directing the under mentioned promotions , and appointments, conse quent on her Majesty's Order in Council of the 22d of October, 1859, and the retirement of Col. T. Hurdle, .8., Commandant- of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, was yesterday promul gated at headquarters, Chatham : " Col. Second Commandant A. A. Anderson, of the Portsmouth Division, to be Col. Commandant, and reappointed to that division ; Col. I. Fraser, Second Commandant of the Artillery Division, to be Col. Commandant of that division, under the provisions of the Order in Council dated October 22, 1859; Col. T. Holloway, C. 8., Second Com mandant of the Plymouth Division, to be Col. Com mandant, and reappointed to that division, vice Col. 'l'. P. Dwyer, promoted to be Major-General; Brevet-Col. J. Mitchell, of the Plymouth Division, to be Col. Second Commandant, and appointed to the Portsmouth Division ; Brevet-Col. 'l'. Lemon, C. 8., of the Plymouth Division, to be Col. Second Commandant, and appointed to the same division ; Lieut.-Col. NV. R. Maxwell, supernumerary of that rank at the Portsmouth Division, appointed to the Plymouth Division ; Brevet-Major T. D. Fosbroke, of the Plymouth Division, to be Lieut.-Col.. and appointed to the same division ; First Lieut. C. W. Carrington, of the Chatham Division, to be Capt., and appointed to the Plymouth Division •, Second Lieut. D. G. Campbell, of the Portsmouth Division, to be First Lieut., and appointed to the Chatham Division." Major-Gen. Eyre, commanding at Chatham, bad the whole force of that garrison drawn up on the Lines on Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of going through the evolutions of a brigade field day. The troops on the ground numbered nearly 5,000 effective men of all ranks, including the three bat talions of infantry, numbering 18 depots of Indian regiments, the corps of Royal and Indian Engi neers, and the battalion of Royal Marines. After the troops had marched past in slow and quick time, they executed a variety of manoeuvres under
