The Company has been formed for the purpose of establishing Tele graphic communication between England and India by the Red Sea, Under concessions granted lay the Turkish and Egyptian Govern !tents. The delay which has hitherto taken place in the prosecution of this undertaking is partly to be attributed to the indisposition of the authorities, until recently (when the paramount importance of the object involved forced it upon the attention of the Government), to grant a guarantee, and partly the doubts entertained of the ability to lay a Telegraph in the Red Sea. These difficulties are now removed. Captain Pullen, of her Ma jesty's ship Cyclops, who was sent by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to take soundings in the Red Sea, has reported his opinion that "no place can be better adapted for laying down a telegraphic cable than the Red Sea ;" and the Government have now agreed to guarantee interest at the rate of 414 per cent on the Capital, to commence from the time of payment of each instalment, and to continue for 50 years certain. A provisional arrangement has been made with Messrs. Newell, the eminent contractors for submarine telegraph cables, for the im mediate laying of the cable at their own risk, and at a fixed cost ; the terms being such as to leave a surp'us capital of about 300,000/. The arrangements for the establi.,hment of a telegraph between Europe and Alexandria have also been completed, and the line will be lald this autumn. The immediate operation is confined by the terms of the arrange ment with the Government to completing the line between Alex andria and Aden, which is about half the whole distance. The terms of arrangement with the Government are substantially as follows: ABSTRACT OF THE TERMS AGREED WITH THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company to contract with the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury for the construction of line of Telegraph from Alexandria to Kurrachee, by the Red Sea and Aden, on the following terms 1. The immediate operation is to be limited to Aden. 2. A capital to be raised not exceeding 800,000/., and 5 per cent. Upon the whole amount of capital to be paid up forthwith. 3. The Treasury to guarantee a rate of interest on the amount of capital paid up from time to time of 4 1 4 per cent. per annum, pay able half-yearly, for the term of 50 years certain. 4. The portion of the line between Alexandria and Men to be im mediately commenced through the agency of. contractors of the largest experience in telegraphic operations, who are to lay the line, and transfer it to the Company in an efficient state, on their own responsibility. 5. The Company to work the line, and to keep proper accounts. 6. The appropriation of the half-year's receipts to be as follows : lit. To defray the working expenses. 2d. The surplus receipts above the working expenses to be applied relief or the Government guarantee. io 3 r d ep . a r y l t a t y esqrplus receipts should exceed the guarantee, one-thi r d advance of interest made by Government, one-third to : be applied towards forming a reserve fund (not exceeding 80,0001.), -• in aer ..talacsaa...,.. teauseet ae this eliereaantaaa_up to 10 per cent. per annum. 4th. If there should be no debt for Government advances, and no deficiency in the Reserve Fund of 50,0001., the whole profits to be applied to make up a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. sth. All surplus and unappropriated profits beyond 10 per cent. per annum to be applied either in reduction of the tariff, the creation of a fund to redeem the guarantee, or otherwise, at the discretion of the • Government. 7. The reserve fund and surplus or unemployed capital to be ap plicable to the maintenance or restoration of the cable, and to make good any d ficiency in the receipts to cover the working expenses, should such a contingency arise, so that the Government guarantee Of 4% per cent. shall be the minimum rate of dividend. 8. All Government messages, subject to the terms of the conces sions from the Turkish Government, are to have priority over pri vate messages, but will be paid at the same rate. 9. The Lords' Commissioners to appoint two ex-officio Directors, Without whose sanction and concurrence no contracts or other pro ceedings of the Company will be valid. 10. In case of default by the Company in completing or reinstating the line, or working it efficiently, the Directors of the Company to be required to give up the line to the Lords' Commissioners of the Treasury, on the latter paying off the capital paid up, wii li interest at 4% per cent. per annum from the date of the last dividend. 11. The powers to give effect to this arrangement are to be ob tained through a private Act of Parliament, to be applied for with the sanction of her Majesty's Government. An estimate of the returns, which has been carefully prepared, and Which may be inspected at the Company's Offices, shows a very large rate of profit from the undertaking, apart from the guarantee. This esti nate will be easily checked and corrected by those connected With the trade of India, China, and Australia, to whom it will be evident that all orders for produce, insurance, shipments, arrivals, departures, accidents, change of destination of vessels, &c., &c., Would be the certain subject of telegraphic communication. Applications for shares may be sent to the Brokers, Messrs. Scott, Corthorn, and Scott, 16, Thogmorton-street, City ; or to the Com ' Pany's Offices, 8, Moorgate-street, in the annexed form ; but no ap plication will be considered, until a deposit of one plund on each Share applied for is previously made to Mess s.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con +even:Ts resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, xhich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any Dther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly- recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled, It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with oat incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue • c ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, aadhowthe evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The tesulta have.beip ae costly as might have•leen 'expectid. Tile figures I am about to give are taken from a Parlianientarj _ paper, moved for by Mr. Coning ham, of which an abstract appeared in our impres sion of the 30th 'of July. The first item in the cost of levying this Canadian regiment is— The usual bounty and incidental expenses £4BCO One Majority, given to a Canadian civilian who brought in 200 men, regulation value 3,'200 Six Captaincies, given to Canadian civilians who brought in 80 men each, regulation 7alue 1,8001 lO,BOO Eight Lieutenancies, given to Canadian civilians who brought in 40 men each, regulation value 700/ 5,800 Two Ensigocies, given gratis to Canadian gentle men, 4501 Passage money of officers to England ...

Why 1 Is Canada a loyal colony t If so, she surely does not want her loyalty to be corroborated by surreptitiously putting a few thou sand pounds into the pockets of some 30 Canadian gentlemen, under the pretence of patrioti s m re warded, and by abstracting men from her labour market who have been very recently imported thither at a considerable public outlay. If she is is disloyal colony, is it supposed that we can conciliate her respect by allowing her to outwit us in an ab surdly bad bargain ? Moreover, it appears from other figures in Mr. Coningham's return that the so-called " Canadian" Regiment is composed of 70 per cent. of British-born subjects, and but 30 per cent, of native Canadians. Th© highest prize we have ever offered to our most deserving Militia officers in reward for good service at home and abroad has been the gift of an Ensigricy in the Line for 100 trained men. Why should wegive a Captaincy in the Line—theregirla tion value of which is exactly four times that of an Ensigncy—for but 80 untrained men to a Canadian civilian who has never done the State any service at all, and that in a colony so distant that it will cost us double —nay, treble the price we are paying for men in England, for their mere transport from Upper Canada to the locality in Great Britain in which they are to be converted into soldiers 1' It is futile to say that the commissions this.; given may not be sold, and therefore cost the country no thing. A commission either repre,sen's a sum of money, or a life annuity calculated on that sum. If A may not sell his commission, he receives his annuity as long as he lives ; if he may sell it, he sells it to B, and B receives it as long as he lives. The result to the public is precisely the same, whether the commission be saleable or not ; the public has either to pay for eacli commission given away an annuity for ono life, or to redeem that annuity at the regulation price. I am informed that Lower Canada is very de sirous of making just such another bargain with the mother country as Upper Canada has bad the good luck to complete ; that Australia is eager to contribute her quota of men to the national army at a cost of about 701. per head (which is very moderate, considering the price of labour at the diggings and the distance from home) ; and that the Maoris of New Zeala n d h ave tendred their loyal services at a cost of little more than ten times that at which the services of English, Irish, and Scotch labourers may be obtained. But before we close with any of these tempting offers I conceive that the House of Commons will do well to look a little more closely than it has done into the manner in which our recruiting expendi ture is conducted. The only way tospend our money to advantage is to go mqnfully into the market and pay the market price for the article required, taking care to get money's worth for money expended. All circuitous expedients to get more for half-a-crown than two-and-sixpence invariably recoil upon the schemer who resorts to them ; in the various in stances I have quoted Ivo have invariably failed in our endeavours to get more and better recruits, and have only succeeded iu squandering public money on parties who had no cla ‘ im whatever to benefit by it.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE._ It is only a short time since this singularly efilcacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, andin the course of a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows a' Birmingham,Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes, had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forged to the conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Nevrgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. The screw steamer Per; belonging to the Penin sular =ld Oriedtt mparry, Captain T. Jamieson, arrived at SouthaniPin on Saturday at 1 p.m., with the heavy portion of the above-named mails, in charge of Lieut. Percival, R. N., Admiralty agent. She left Alexancliia on the 19tH July, Malta the 22d, and Gibraltar at midnight on the 26. h. The Pera brings 94 passengers, specie value 4001., precious atones 12,510 rupees, garnets - mill() 1,650 rupees, diamonds value 8,800 rupees, jewellery wine 1,765 rupees, 576 bales of silk, 29 bales of elephants' tusks, 4 cases of plant, 3 cases of pictures, 2 cases of tortoisesitell, 6 packages of wine, and 141 pack ages of general merchandise. On her outward passage the Pera experienced fine weather and favourable winds, and ran from Southampton to Gibraltar in three days 21 hours, thence to Malta in three days and a-half, and from Malta to Alexandria i❑ two days 19 hours, averag ing throughout 12-i knots per hone. Homewards she has met with strong westerly winds in the Me• diterannean, and for 36 hours after leaving Malta experienced a regular hard summer's gale from N.W. ; up the coast light head winds and northerly swell ; across the Bay variable winds from N. to E., when it blew fresh with a heavy northerly swell ; up the channel fine clear weather, and the water as smooth as a millpond. The Pera is four days and a-half from Gibraltar, and has arrived earlier than any previous packet has done. She left Southampton the 4th of July, and has arrived home before the end of the same month. The man steamers have frequently arrived on the Ist of the ensuing month, but never before on the 31st of the month in which they left. The numerous friends of Mr. Albert Smith will be pleased to hear that that gentleman reached Alex andria and landed from the Pera on the day ho told them he should when he took his farewell, on the 2,000 th time of his exhibition of Mont Blanc— viz., the 17th of July, and proceeded on his way to China, in hia usual robust health and excellent spirits. Her Majesty's surveying steamer Medina was at Alexandria. At Malta were ber Majesty's ships Marlborough (bearing the flag of Admiral Fansbawe), Hibernia, Vigilant, Osprey, d tc . Th e rest o f t h e fl eet were cruising in the n e i g hb ourhood of the island. Her Majesty's ship Curlew was at Gibraltar on the 26th. The mail steamer Alhambra arrived at Gibraltar from Southampton on the 24th. The Colombo, in 4 days and 6 hours from Southampton, also put in a t 11 p.m. on the 24th, and left for Malta at 2 a.m. on the 25th, after receiving from the post-office clerk on board the Samarang the mails made up on the Saturday evening. This new arrangement for exchanging the mails, &c., during the night, was also carried out on the Pera's arrival there on the homeward voyage. She anchored near the Samarang at 10 p.m., delivered her mail, received another, exchanged passengers and cargo, took in her stores, and left for South ampton at midnight, accomplishing the whole with ease in two hours. Had the old plan still been in existence the Pera could not have got away till 10 o'clock the next morning, thereby losing nearly half a day in arrival at Southampton. The British steamer Pactolus, Capt. C. Mills, eight days four hours from Liverpool and Tangier, with a general cargo for Malta and Alexandria, arrived at Gibraltar on the 24th ; the Dom Pedro, Capt. W. Taylor, 11 days from Gla,ggow, and 44 hours from Lisbon, with general cargo for Gib raltar, &c., on the 25th ; and the Peninsula, Capt. J. H. Jones, eight days from London, with a general carge;for Gibraltar and Cadiz, on the 26th. During the voyage home the Pera spoke the following ships :—July 22d, the Royal Mail steamer Cambria, 20 miles south-east of Malta, steering S.E. ; same day, the B r iti s h b arque Pelican, entering Malta harbo ur; 29 t h , on C ape Finisterre, exchanged colours with three Spanish men-of-war steamers steering N.

PV. s, u a, s h t a e n e t r , i steering S. W. The Pera brings home in all 94 passengers, among whom are Col. D'Aguilar, C. 8., and lady, and Mr. Bally and family, from Calcutta • Mr. and Mrs. Tod and Dr. Pearce, from Madras ; Capt. Dowell, R.N., several naval officers, and Col. Burmeister, 59th Regiment, from China • Cap tain Hallett, from Malta ; a l so severa l gal lant young officers who have distinguished them selves in India during the present campaign, and a few ladies who have shared in the general suffer and three children, widow ings, viz. :—Mrs. Casey of the late J. A. Casey, legal accountant and assistant Reid engineer to the Chief Engineer at Lucknow. She narrowly escaped by running into the in trenchments, losing everything. Her husband was wounded by a musket shot, and died a few days after, Her youngest son, two years old, died MEXICO. In consequence of the Liberal party having taken possession of Laspin, a town on the coast between Vera Cruz and Tampico, about 500 troops were sent from Tampico to retake it. JAMAICA. The following is from the packet summary of the Jamaica Morning Journal : "The question of immigration continues to occupy the attention of the press. His Excellency has con vened a meeting of the Immigration Commissioners, to whom he pointed out that it was urgently necessary that immediate steps should be taken for the considera tion of the whole question of immigration into this island. He recommended and authorised the appropriation of 20,0001. out of the balanoo in the hands of tihe land and emigration commissioners remaining out ( , f the loan of 100,000/. raised for immigration purposes, for the in troduction of Chinese labourers into this colony. The board agreed unanimoudy to the recommendation of his E;'ccellency, and further directed that the balance of 53,00 C/. which would then remain be appropriated to the introduction of Africans and other labourers. " With much regret we record the demise of the Hon. Dr. Turner, a member of the Legislative Council and castes rotulorum of the parish of St. Catherine. The venerable deceased was highly esteemed, both as a public man and a private individual. "Intelligence from the mining districts continues very favourable. At a meeting of the shareholders of the Wheal Jamaica Company, held since the daring of the last packet, a very favourable report was presented. "The weather has somewhat changed since our last, having been visited on this side of the island by occa sional refreshing showers. In the interior districts there has been a great deal of rain. The heat on the south side, however, continues very great, and but for regular sea breezes which arise at a certain hour in the day, and by which it is relieved, would be utterly intolerable. " The general health, we have no reason to believe, is otherwise than good. " The Dee, with the mails, will leave this port for St. Thomas, at six a.m. on Monday morning," COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (Front De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Since our last issue no improvenrnent has taken place in our market. There has been but very little addition to the stocks which we stated then were excessively large ; but yet we have to report a want of activity and general dulness during the last fortnight, attributable chiefly to the tightness of the money market, and in some instances of cargoes being expected. Produce remains dull. Sugar has maintained its price as last quoted. Coffee still comes in in small lots. For dyewoods there is no demand ; and for pimento of the coming crop there are none disposed to make engage ments. REVIEW OF MARKETS.

The able correspondent of the Times, last week, gave a full and practical exposé not only of the mis haps which have befallen the cable, but the cause of these effects—the na'ure of the cable itself—the structure of which, however suitable for shallow waters, is entirely inapplicable, from its construc tion -and specific gravity, to the extreme depths and span of the Atlantic. Ho states— r " That, for the Atlantic, nothing but the comparative infancy of the science of cable laying will ever excuse t e attempt having been made withauch a description of rope." And again—" Wire-covered ropes for such deep seas as the At'antic are not only useless, but literally almost render such an undertaking impossible." Also, that ropes of light specific gravity only are suitable, which would enable us to dispense with "all the paying-out machines, buoy s , slip ropes,hauling-in apparatus, and all the worthless awl expensive lumber which has been foisted into what, under a different arrangement, should be one of the simplest mechanical operation." We are glad to revert to these remarks of an eye-witness, being, front the test of experience, corroborative of the principles we have ourselves so frequtntly pro pounded in reference to the inventions of Mr. Allen, in Submarine Telegraphy. We may here recapitulate the principles of coesiruction, or rather the philosophy of the submarine cable, the conditions of which are so well maintained in the cables patented by him— namely, that they combine with the necessary conductibility for the distance, the . greatest amount of relative strength possible Ito be at tained, and that, tco, in the form of an inexten sible core, so as to counteract tension and conse quent injury to the insulating medium ; and that the specific gravity of a submarine cable should, within certain limits, be inversely as the depths of the sea on the intended route ; that is to say, the shlaler the water, the heavier should the cable be, and vice verse. There should, therefore, be three several descriptions of cable ; viz., that which within tideways will be subjected to the effects of tides and waves, and, the chances of abrasion from stun 39 and other disturbances, from anchors, &c., whose specific gravity should be about 4.5, or more; a second part wh;ch might be affecgteradvbyy of sli 3 slight agitation of the bottom, of a specific gravity an d a third part for the deep sea, and which should not have a specific gravity greater than 1.5, although less —say 1 . 3 (little more than that of common tarred rope)—would be quite enough ; the latter specific gravity taking consi derably over three hours to sink to a depth of 2,000 fathoms —a rate fast enough for any purpose of submergence, and also insuring a straight and uni fo-m issue of the cable from the ship. A rope of this specific gravity and weight could be handled with great facility, and paid out with great rapidity, dispensing entirely with friction-breaks andpaying out gear, which are necessitated only by heavy ropes, the primary cause of all the mischief in such undertakings. It will thus be obvious that by such an arrange ment of parts, as to strength, conductibility, weight, and specific gravity, in accordance with the first principles of natural science, a submarine telegraph may be established in any depths and to any distance with comparative certainty; the process being thus rendered at once simple, and to all intents and purposes analogous to veering out a log line. With these objects in view, the peculiar feature of Mr. Allen's cables is that of his putting the metallic strength in the centre of the insulating medium, thus forming an inextensible core in place of a wire easing as heretofore. This, in the specimens shown at the Institution of Civil Engi neers during the discussion on Mr. Longridge's paper on the submergence of telegraphic cables, was effected by a strand of iron wires, or of iron and copper mixed, this latter being lighter and more effective in many ways, as combining the conduc tibility of the copper with the strength of the iron. It is then coated with gutta percha in the usal way, and the whole enveloped in strands of hemp or boir rope, with or without an outer serving of tarred yarn.tr .on of Contenting ourselves with this brief expos' the principles maintained by Mr. Allen throug hout, the correctness of which has been so fully exem twoef whichtrust p h l a i s fie b d ee b n y t r h e e c e l n a t te o ccu trialsrre n i e c e s t , h not the tlan i t e ie, as now that the truth of science in regard to submarine ropes may be said to be fairly ascertained, that no fastidious or sinister influences of hisntfluences will d v ill seo prevent eri e the public from the benefit Mechanics' Magazine. ees e e k i c e r ait and purify, LADVERTISEMRNTI. --- I,,‘ , l 7 :S iel i e i r O ti w nh a Te y e ' ot s eirna P ttem il , l e s ntth a e n p d easms O ce i s n dt t ih m eirn e o n oau t g . ho correct ooe l o : it.. — h a r theOintment.—For o ar as water saturates the soil, or as salt inogtfuedstrihmseeemaeasesetdk:fli the Pills whole physical machinery is thus rendered healthy, regular and vigorous.

The dinner took plane at the Assembly Rooms on the 29th ult. " The weather still continues wet, and the manufac turing operations will be greatly impeded by its con tinuance. " The exports of produce daring the last fortnight have been : Sugar, 643 hhds., 82 trcs , 57i barrels ; rum, 441 puny., 76 hhds., 49 brie. ; molasses, 25 puns.; timber, 49 logs.

Flour—Considerable sales to-day at 71 dollars, and a desire on the part of dealers to purchese ; in er)nfequence some holders ask 8 dollars. Meal dull. A oirgo of codfish from Newfoundland is retailing at di dollars per quintal. Stock very small. Pickled fish of all kinds much wanted. `"Exports scarce, in consequenee of.continued wet weather.

A demand of the Martinique authorities for the restoration had not been com plied with. Yellow fever and small-pox is very prevalent at Ilavannah. RECRUITI.NG. A letter in a contemporary says : Re crui iing is an important subject just now. We want more men to send to India, and we are likely to want many more for the same purpose for some time to come. It is very difficult to ascertain from the military authorities how recruiting is going on. When challenged on the subject the Minister of War invariably declares in his place in Parliament that it is going on most satisfactorily ; he enume rates, with honest pride, the thousands and tens of thousands that have been enlisted, trained, and sent off to reinforce Sir Colin within the last few months. His statements are cheered by the House of Commons, and despondents and croakers are thus put to shame. But when a few days after wards some abortive expedients for obtaining re cruits in some abnormal manner are brought to light, and our military authorities are forced to confess that their new schemes have been costly and fruitless, they aria that the difficulties which exist in obtaining men.rare Ala:Lost insuper able, and that they are therefore justified in setting the rules of arithmetic and political economy at de liAnce, and endeavouring to get recruits anyhow and on any terms. The recent satisfactory decla rations of the Minister of War they represent as having been mere formulm, to which no importance whatever ought to be attached—dust, as it were, legitimately cast from time to time by that high official into the eyes of a too anxious and inquisitive public. _ - During the last six months we have seen three of these notable expedients break down. The usual mode of Government recruiting, through the regular recruiting staff and the pen sioners, has hitherto supplied us with men at the rate of 4,5001. per I,ooo—viz., 31. per head bounty and 30s. per head incidental expenses ; while the East India Company have been collecting their re cruits at about 5 per cent, less, their 'standard lbeing lower than that of the Horse Guards. The first abnormal expedient to which the War office resorted was to offer first commissions for man. Any person desirous of entering the army was to be presented with a commission on condition that ho should collect 100 men. He was to be ex empted from the usual educational tests, and from the usual regulation with regard to age ; and was to be allowed the same sum, 41. 10s. per head, for his 100 men as if he had been a recruiting sergeant or a pensioner. In fact, as the commission given bina—an augmentation commission—might and ought to have been sold on account of the public for its regulation value-4501., this arrangement practically raised the bounty paid by the Govern ment from 41. 10s. to 91. per head. But, as the officer thus sent into the market by the Minister of War to hid against his own regular recruiting staff required precisely the same article as they did, a considerable portion of this 91. remained in the young man's pocket. Instead of offering 91. per man bounty, he offered, say, 21. per head to our own recruiting sergeants and pensioners if they would serve him in preference to serving their own officers, and they, knowing that as long as he was in the market outbidding them their trade must stop, naturally and wisely accepted his offer. So the result of this first experiment was that the pub lic paid double the price for men they bad been paying before, but did not get men any faster than they would have done had they paid . but 41. 10s., and got worse educated and older officers to com mand them. The War-office next bethought them of raising contract battalions. They brought a retired offi cer back into the service, presenting him with a Lieut.-Colonel's commission gratis. They placed at his disposal ten Ensigncies, and they gave him the 4,5001. which they would have paid their ow n recru iting staff for collecting 1,000 men. 1n return for all this the reinstated officer was to raise his re giment. This scheme tripled at on ce th e cost o f recr uits, and filled the Lieut. -Colonel's pocket • but it did not bring a single additional fish to the net. Thus : R e gulation price of a Lieut.-Colonelcy £4,500 Ditto ten Ensigncies Usual bounty and Expenses 413, A Parliamentary return moved for by Mr. 500 Bag well shows how excellent a bargain this was for the contracting Colonel, an d h ow b a d a bar gain it was for the public. From that return it appears that the 1,000 men of whom each of these contract battalions was composed were provided by the 10 ensigns who each received a commission worth 4501. on bringing in 100 men ; so that the Lieut.-Col, not only got his Lieut.-Colonelcy for nothing, but actually pocketed, if not the whole, at least the major part of the 4,5001. allowed him for bounty and expenses. Recruits got no more than they bad been getting before—viz., 31. per head ; the regular recruiting staff got a little more " bringing money," and did all the work for strangers, instead of for their own officers, and the country got no more men for 13,5001. than it would have dode had 4,5001. been expended in the usual manner. A fourth experiment has just been brought to light, which has undoubtedly provided the country with the services of 1,000 men whose services we should not have had unless the experiment had been tried ; but at a cost which, at the most mo derate computation, would have collected at least 6,000 men in this country in the usual manner. A regiment has been raised in Canada—the 100th of the line. In Canada the price of unskilled labour is from 245. to 30s. per week, in Wiltshire and in Dorsetshire it is from 9s. to 10s. It was pretty clear, therefore, that by going from England to Canada—from the cheap market to the dear one — to collect recruits the public would make a bad job of it. The War-office went, moreover, not only to a dear market from a cheap one, but from a near I a ' d d
