GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN, UA Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the Chair, For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy. & Gentleman present, not being able to snake a speech, has sent itB his notes, from which we make a few extracts. I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have .., 84 frered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched and misery have produced, and your ear has not reftained fro m the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it Would afford you to see all your: el , ow men, and especially our n leehanies and industrious artizans, who it has just been said " Often ueeorne the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having Paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more Particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject ' , J . . consumption in all families , and was , prior to the enterprise of E. ' I OSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see tlie se, with all the inhabitants of London arid its surrounding coun- Y, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can labour a fund on which they may depend in time of need , thus cul .lvatin a spirit of inde7endence and saving you the great sum you have to coy tribute to the various institutions from which destitution Seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement, and the way by w hi c h you may best do so, is to save forty per cent 0 Y purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans. Economy and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution lint mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The Ill s ost certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to 41 1 classes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and SON'S, Aidgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart stre., et. Such a course would c ertainl y p revent a great amount or uestitution, leaving the people a large ainount of money purely the ~,Z e sult of superior quality and lew p rices. The p ri ces being more want 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an enti r e saving of cash t o meet accident, scarcity , and old age. The amount s aved in forty per cent. makes a la r g e sum in familyexpenditure— isa fortune before age adv :nces, and has already prevented a great amount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge °l ' any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSES and F3 ON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, n ot only from .the fact of their being Tailors. Hatte rs, Hosiers, Sze., &c., to the No- Oi llty, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion, and the economisers of the money o f our distinguished an d wealthy citiz ens, and endeavour to extend the benefits of such a reduction to all cla sses un d er your influence and engaged in your ser v i ce, by direct g them to go to E. MOSE S and SON for every article of which will secure them from the sorrows of destitution and the humiliation of mendicancy. E.

MONEY MARKET.--The quotation of gold at Paris is about par (according to the new tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.274, it follows that gold is about 0.41 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 428 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.64 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent.. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.

THE NEW REFORM BILL. MEETING AT LEEDS. On Tuesday night last a large and influential meeting was held at the Music Hall, Leed s , on th e question of Parliamentary Reform, but more especially to e li c i t t h e views of the different class es o f Reformers i n t h e bo roneh on the scheme of Parliamentary Reform as agreed to at the late conference held in Manchester. The meeting included el sections of the Rerorm party. John \vitae% Esq. (one of the aldermen of the borough). took the chair, and was surrounded be James Garth Mar shall, Esq., M.P., H. C. Marshall, E sq ., Aldermen Lu cock, Bower, Carbuta and Pease; Councillors John Marshall, Weinman, Johninuaati' Wilkinsonl Ee,i Carter, Esq., Charles Naylur, Esq., Robert Adams, Es J. C. Barrett, Esq., &o. , K e E t t i l e ov ve a e l. dll, q., BainesGe orge and Heaps; , The CHAIRMAN, in opining th e b us i ness o f th e even ing, said—lt has been urged in some quarters that such meetings are unnecessary, or at any rate premature, and that it would be better to wait till we have the Go vernuient measure before us. T o this doctrine I entirely dissent.—(ilear, hear.) I think that it is touch better that all large coetaituencies should speak out in a firm and decided tone as to the character of the mea sure of reform which they are looking for, and which they think the country is entitled to before the Government are publicly committed to any mea sure of their own.—(Applause.) N oth i ng can be more unwise than for Government t o resist reasonable and safe practical reforms; and nothi ng more impolitic t h an for people to make rash, unreasonable, and impracti cable demands. If we want an example, the lesson is before us. Look at France. France, under the auto cratic, conservative, selfish, grant.n el hi ng pol i cy o f L ou i s e - Philippe, became so desperate that st , ir y upset the whole fabric of Government and establish e d a repa blitk-a re public which lasted from 1848 to 1851, during which short, period some strange tratatptiona tookitplaee -1852, under the specious name of oozmencement of republic, they are t Hear, hear)—a despotism so hideous that, with an enlightened people like the French, it is impossible it can long remain.— profit by their expe r(eHaapainr;ll6thaer)w—orasnt-dfruni°tsWOfatdtehsPo-3.ti:011'....a ex perience.—(Hear, hear.) by their ex- Esq., M.P., sai d - -Great is now the l c i I le J.

On the other hand, we - must take care that in our proposed changes we keep within those ancient and recognised principles of our mixed and tempered Constitution, which are essential to safety and to unity of a c ti on .— (Hear.) I need hardly say that I have ever been a firm advocate for a large extension of the suffrage, both before I entered Parliament tine-since I have had the high honour of being one of the representatives for the im portant constituency of this borough,—(A pp i anse o Acting on this principle, I have always given my vote in the House of Commons in favour of Mr. Huncte's motion for household suffrage—(Elear, bear)—triennial Parlia ments—(Applause)—vote by ballot—(Loud applause)— and a more equitable apportionment of the representa tion.,—(Renewed applause.) This seemed to me the best general definition of a measure of reform, at once based upon old constitutional p r i n ciples and landmarks, and large enough to ratify the just demands of the improved intelligence of the people. Much, no doubt, will depend upon the framing of the limits and details of those prin ciples as embodied in a practical measure. Wh at we ought to aim at is such a liberal extension of the fran chise as without swamping the existing constituency shall satisfy the just and moderate expectations of the people.— (Hear, hear.) He moved the following resolu tion ;—" That this meeting having considered the existing state of the representation of the United Kingdom, is desirous to see such changes effected as will satisfy the just and moderate expectations of the people, and render the House of Commons, in conformity with the spirit of the Constitution, a fair representation of the property, the industry, and the intelligence of the people; and that while aiming at this object, it is moreover anxious to adhere to the ancient landmarks of our representa tive system, and within their limits to introdnce such changes only as experience has shown to be wise and safe. E. BAINES, Esq., seconded the resolution, and said—l agree with the sentiment that, when the Prime Minister of this country has announced that it is his intention to bring the representation of the people before the con sideration of Parliament, it is right for towns and consti tuencies so large as this to take that subject into their own consideration, meet together to discuss it, and to present their own vi ew of the question to the Minister, in order to assi s t hi m i n t h e —(Applause.)

If you did thi s , a nd kept them excluded from the po litical privileges which they desire . a nd which theyothers of their fellow -countrymen in possession see wo uld necessarily create in th em a great of, it amount of dis content; and this would lead to a d iv ided and disunited ~ state of the country, to want strength , a state o f things I which it was exceedingly undesirable to see, especially in any period of domestic travel, which, whether from home or from foreign circumstances, this country might o N f Nor discontent n I t e t h n i r n e whichit desirable arises r e should o theud evenbram e be th p i l s ac fe e e d l i i a ng exclusion of deserved political privileges.—(Hear, hear.) It seems to me to be an object of praise rather than of blame, for I can see that it arises from a love of liberty, from a love of that which belongs to the mainte nance of liberty; and I hold that there is not a nobler cha racteristic than that the people should be attached to their rights, and entertain a high and exalted sense of political liberty.—(Cheers.) Wo must all even wish there had been a much higher sense of the value of liberty amongst Frenchmen. If there had been amongst them a firm and steady sense of the value of political liberty, I don't think we should have seen those rapid and mighty fluctuations and convulsions in that country, and above all, I,don't think we should see them discredit themselves so much as to make them participators in the overthrow of all their own liberties, and agents in th e establishment of the military despotism of Louis Napo leon.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, we come to the con sideration of what measure of reform is desirable in this country.—(Hear, hear, and That's it.) It is known to most of you that certain resolutions were proposed at a meeting held at Manchester; that was a very influen tial meeting, convened by gentlemen of great respecta bility, many of them gentlemen of great wealth, many of them I have known for a number of years, having taken part with them in other struggles, men of tried patriot ism and of great influence. That meeting, as I have said, passed certain resolutions, of which I ap proved in spirit and in substance; but, as most of you know, I did not approve of all the details.—(Cries of " But we do.") The question then arose with me whe ther, as I did not approve of all the details of the Man chester resolutions, I could with consistency of principle attend the meeting here, at which these resolutions were brought forward, And I answered this question to my own satisfaction, but I don't know whether to yo urs or not, that I could, with consistency of principle, attend the meeting on those grounds. First of all, I approve, as I said, in spirit and in substance, of these resolutions, and of almost every point in them. Secondly, I was convinced I could with propriety and consistency attend this meeting, because it did not seem to me to be at all necessary, when we agreed in substance and in spirit, that there should be perfect unanimity of opinion in all matters of detail, and I felt convinced that if I candidly and freely stated the points on which I differed with those resolutions, I chould be respectfully listened to, while the observations I made would receive all the weight to which they are entitled.—(Hear.) Thirdly, because I thought it highly desirable that men who differ on some of the details should meet together and freely state their opinions, that those who went beyond those resolutions, and those who did not go so far, should frankly state their views to each other. This mode of discussion had a tendency to enlargement of mind and to communication of useful and valuable information from one mind to another. Now, sir, I have said Ido not entirely agree with these , resolutions. But I agree, with all my heart in desiring, as I have already ex plained, a very large extension of the franchise, an ex tion which will bona fide give to a large proportion of the working classes of England that franchise which they arc so well qualified to exercise, and to which I think they aro most righteously entitled.—(Loud cheers.) The point on which I do not agree with the Manchester resolutions is the extent to which it is proposed the franchise should go—that was, to the extent of house hold suffrage, without defining the length of residence, merely stating that it should be such a length of resi dence as would satisfy the person who had to form the register that the residence was real and bona fide. Now, the view I have taken and expressed for some years is, that we could with safety go to the extent of the muni cipal franchise, making the Parliamentary franchise co extensive with it.—(A cry of "A bit further.") My friend says a bit further.—(Hear.) I was not disposed to be so nice as to stop at the municipal franchise, but to go, as my friend says, a bit further.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But my reason for preferring the munici pal franchise I will state to you in a few words. First of all I thought it desirable to adopt this franchise because it has been actually tried in practice, and there is a strong disposition in the people of this country to look at precedent; that has been tried, proved to be safe, and may bo adopted with thl greatest ease. Secondly, because it would bring into tue possession of the fran chise a large proportion of the working classes. I have said this ought to be done.—(A voice, "And we should have the ballot.") To be sure.—(Cheers.) He then proceeded to state, that the adoption of the municipal franchise would in Leeds increase the number of electors from 5,000 to 15,000, making the increase threefold. This he thought would show theta he was not a very ti id reformer, as the increase would give a preponder ance to the working classes. The suffrage might be further extended afterwards, and he argued that the more gradual the extension was, the firmer would be the constitution, of which the suffrage formed the founda tion. In conclusion, he expressed himself favoure.ble to vote by ballot, the which he considered indispensable; to five years' parliaments, though ho should not object to triennial parliaments; and to the abolition of pro perty qualification for members. He hoped a large and bold measure of reform would be granted such as the country required, and such as the country would sup port.—(Lond cheers.) The resolution was adopted. Mr. Alderman CARBUTT moved the second resolu tion—" That in the opinion of this meeting the elective franchise should be widely extended, and so simplified as to admit of the easy formation of an honest register of voters; it therefore recommends that the franchise be based upon occupation and liability to the poor-rate, with such limitation as to period of residence as shall be necessary to afford a guarantee that the occupation is bona fide. It would, moreover, urge th e retent i on o f th e 40s. franchise for counties, and its extension to the owners of property of that annual value, whether de rived from freehold, oopy h o ld , or leasehold tenures. The whole constituency would thus consist of occupiers rated to the relief of the poor and of owners of property of the annual value of 40s. This meeting would rather record its opinion that no extension of the franchise will make the House of Commons a fair representation of the natton, without a considerable change in the dis tribution of the electoral power. It therefore strongly urges that, where practical and convenient, small and neighbouring boroughs be united, and form one borough; that where such union is not practica ble, small boroughs cease to return Members, and that the existing constituencies merge in the constituencies of the county in which they are situate; that correspond ing to the extent to which small boroughs shall be united, or shall cease to return Members to Parliament, new boroughs be created from the populous towns now unrepresented, and that additional Members be conferred on the metropolitan and other first-class boroughs in the United Kingdom." Mr. DAVID GREEN next addressed the meeting. H e demanded universal suffrage, because it took away th e plea of injustice; having that, he would have better hopes that they would become ashamed of spending 40,000,0001. per annum in foolish tobacco and worse drink, and spend their money in a thousand better ways, which intelligeuce and education would teach them.— (Cheers.) Some persons had supposed that it would be dangerous to give universal suffrage. Such would not be the case. Supposing the franchise to become universal, they must not imagine that those persons who had made a great noise on political mat ters would be the solo persons enfranchised.— (Hear, hear.) Persons had run away with the idea -that with universal suffrage they would have a Chartist Government; bat that was a great mistake. At no time did the Chartist body embrace two-thirds of the working classes of this country; and that at a period when many people imagined that by gaining the Charter they would secure everything. Give universal suffrage, and it would not be the Chartists only, or the Radicals only, who would be enfranchised, but that very large and influential body of men—those quiet persons who never publicly expressed their political opinion—would come in to exercise their power, and it was great indeed —greater far than that of the noisy politicians, because their number was greater. The greatest power in this country was the unseen power—the power of those men who remained quietly at home until the time for action arrived, and then as quietly performed their duty and retired. As for himself, whilst in favour of universal suffrage, ho would accept with thankfulness the house hold suffrage now proposed, and would unite with the middle classes to get it, believing that with it in posses sion the working classes would be the better able to get all they mated. He should, therefore, with great plea sure, second the resolution. Mr. JAMES HENDERSON, a working man, expressed himself dissatisfied with the resolution not going furthertse as than household suffrage; and, though regarding tha a great boon, he thought they ought to declare for man . t man hood suffrage, and ho therefore moved an a that effect. Mr. JOHN FIRTH, a working man, s econded the amendment. men dment to Much discussion ensued in reference t o this a being inmend ment, a great part of the meeting ev idently favour of its wittidrawal, and at length Mr. Henderson moved by consented to withdraw it until the resolution_ee.g. The U Mr. Alderman Carbutt had been put to cn"'" dingl y put resolution proposed by Mr. Carbutt asp ccor and carried unanimously. proposed his resoluti on Mr. HENDERSON then again in a slightly altered form, claring that, while it was to all persons on the rats politic to give the suffrage his right to have this amend was unable to decide which s b u O ff Ok ra s g , e it . wHaseyientstishteedrigphtnofthe people to have manhood ofhands being taken, or noes.

That this m ee ti ng i s o f op i n i on that the ballot is mdispensable to an honest representa tion, that it would greatly repress the demoralising prac- tices so humili a ti ng t o c andidates and so degrading to the electors, which seem almost inseparable from a canvass and a poll under the existing system; and would aid most effectually in preventing the turbulence and riot with which elections have hitherto been so often attended. It is further of opinion that the present legal duration of Parliament is much too extended to secure to cmsti tuencies a proper control over their representatives ; it would, therefore, strongly urge the repeal of the Sep tennial Ae7, and the limitation of the duration of Par liaments in accordance with ancient precedent, to a period not exceeding three years; and it moreover en tirely concurs in the view expressed by the Prime Mi ninster during the last session of Parliament, that the property quiification for Members of Parliament ought to be abolished." On the motion of Mr. Councillor MoßoArt, the follow ing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Councillor CARTER, was carr i e d urianirnously :--`• That a memorial embodying the :substance of the foregoing resolutions, be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, and be presented to Lord John Russell ; and that it be en trusted for presentation to James Garth Marshall, Esq., M.P." REFORM. MEETING in BIRMINGIIAIII. A meeting, " to consider the subject of Parliamentary Reform," was held at Birmingham on Friday, on behalf of the National Parlia mentary and Financial' Reform Association. The speakers were Sir J. Walmsley, M.P., Mr. G. Thompson, M.P., M r . G. Dawson, and a few ' others. It was stated that Mr. Geach. M.P., was pre vented attending by an engagement in Paris, white Mr. Hume, M.P., and Mr. Joseph Sturge sent letters of ex cuse. But the most remarkable event in the proceedings was the production and reading of the following letter from the borough Members, which, according to the Birmingham Journal, was received with hisses:— " Birmingham, January 16, 1852. " Sir,—When some short time since we accepted an invitation to attend the Reform meeting which is to be held in the Town-hall this evening, we were under the impression that the movement was a perfectly sponta neous one, receiving its impulsvwholly from the inha bitants of the borough. "It would now seem that the meeting owes its origin to other than local influences, and that it is to be used not simply as a means of eliciting the public voice on the important subject of reform, but also for the pur pose of disseminating the political and financial views of a body of gentlemen acting under the name of the Na tional Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association.' " Emphatically disclaiming all feeling of hostility to that body, and willingly acknowledging the zealous ex ertions of its leaders, and their desire to promote the cause of good government, we cannot consent to iden tify ourselves with plans and principles in man y o f w hi c h we do not concur, or sanction any extraneous interfer ence with the independent expression of the opinions of our fellow-townsmen. " Under these circumstances, and being anxious to avoid anything which can disturb the proceedings of the meeting, we deem it the more respectful course to ab stain from taking any share in its discussions; and we are, sir, yours faithfully, " G. F. MITNTZ. " To the Chairman. W. SCHOLEFIELD." S PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. CHRONICLE.—One of the most important questions connected with the subject of our national defences is that of fortifications. There is, we are aware, a prevalent opinion that the improvements which have been effected in the art of gunnery since the last war have made fortifications useless ; but those who hold this notion entirely misconceive the nature and objects of the latt er . The proposition that the powers of attack are greater than those of defence is capable of mathematical demonstration. If there is no interruption, and if time enough is allowed, an army must ultimately take uny town which it be sieges. But it is not the object of fortifications to make a place impregnable —their great use is to de lay the advance of an enemy, and to give detached bodies of troops an opportunity to harass his rear, and to interrupt his communications, his foraging parties, &o. A strong fortification is in itself an army. At any rate, it fulfils one of the most important functions of an army—it effectually hampers, embarrasses, and restrains the movements of the enemy, and affords a rallying point after defeat. The examples of the importance of fortifications are so numerous that we are surprised that the nation should have so long been blind to the necessity which exists for availing itself of tte'r protection. The defence of Gloucester and the cap ture of Bristol were the two great causes of the triumph of the Parliament over Charles I.; and the sieges of Namur and of Turin were productive of far more important events than those which took place on Uncle Toby's bowling-green. To come to later times, the defence of Verdun gave Paris a respite of inestimable value during the invasion of the Duke of Brunswick. In all human probability, the fate of the world was decided under the walls of St. Jean d'Acre, and the history of Europe might have been altogether changed if Paris had been sufficiently fortified in 1814 to hold out against the Allies even for three days. In like manner, the repulse from before Granville sealed the ruin of the Vendeans • and if we lo o k f o r examples in o ur own d ays , we Cave but to remember the sieges of Peschier a an d Vi enn a. I n matters o f practical warfare we may almost always take les sons from our Continental neighbours. They have bad a far more extended military experience than ourselves, and, if not our superiors in actual fighting, they certainly are superior to us in all the precau tions by which defeat is averted or retrieved. Let our readers call to mind the defences of Paris. Even sup posing an enemy to have overcome all the obstacles which would obstruct his march thither, he would find the capital almost impregnable, even when under its walls. To attempt to storm the lines which sur round it would be in the last degree hazardous, whilst, in case of failure, the garrison of Mont Valerien and of the other posts in the neighbourhood of the city would have no great difficulty in rendering the in vader's retreat impossible. Such being the importance of fortifications, let us see what our own resources are in that respect. We need hardly say that, except Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham, we have scarcely a fortified town in the country. Fort St. George, indeed, might stand a siege ; but the protection of Inverness, however important, cannot be reckoned amongst the most pressing of the matters which claim our attention. If a French army were to land on our shores, it might march from Dover to Liverpool without any obstruction from forti fications. Yet, if these are important in wars car ried on between two nations, each provided with large bodies of regular soldiers, they are infinitely more so to a country which, like our own, would have to defend itself by means of troops hastily raised and imperfectly disciplined. All raw levies are liable to panics, and nothing is so re-a ssur i ng to inexperienc ed troops as the consciousness that they can , in casesro. of need, shelter themselves within the walls of a ew t he u r g e place. Suppose a great battle to be fought near the south coast, and suppose our forces o e s st ra o st b an e d de a - t de feated, an energetic enemy might, _as mattem their heels. present, almost march into London at But if there were a fortified place on the road, the behind mareh and within which the fugitives could ra lly, of the invaders would either be retarded till they could bring up heavy artillery to attack it, or else they against an w ould have to evade it, and march act on, leaving e nemy in their rear who m i g h t afterwards have them with fatal effect. It will be said that We fortified, or ought to fortify, our coast. This may be true, but camps and batteries distributed along an immense coast line would always be inadequately sup plied with men and guns, and they Would be unabl e to support each other. They might be very use ful for th e purpose of Protecting our shores from in sult, of giving prompt warning of invasion, and for o ther such ends; but_ the g reat object which we have to provide for is the construction of rallying points in the heart of the country. Suppose, f ppose, or exam le if o the Tower of London were real real fortress. It is obvious that, even London itself were in the; hands of an enemy, the presence of a garriso n i n th e h ear t o f the city would greatly disturb the i nva d ers , w hil s t it would most essentially aid all effort s w hi c h m i g ht b e made for thei r dislodgment. We have no wish, how ever, to advocate a ny _ large or costly system of fortifi cations ; but surely, in the critical times in which we live, something ought to be done to afford us the means of retarding and embarrassing the movements of a hostile force. We need not say that, in dwelling on this subject, we do not for a moment forget that our first and chief arm of national defence must ever be our navy ; and that no kind or amount of military preparations can be of equal value with the posses sion of such a maritime force—fully available at the very shortest notice—as would render any at tempt at invasion visibly hopeless, and therefore impossible. But, while we emphatically recognize this all-important truth—and whilst we rejoice to see those signs of vigilance and activity which the Ad miralty have at length begun to display —we must not the less prepare ourselves for all emergencies, and amongst the rest, for that of a campaign in the heart of the land. Having neither marshes nor mountains to defend us, we must call in art to remedy the de fects of nature ; and a sufficient number of fortified positions, judiciously disposed at suitable points, might be of incalculable value. People seem to have at present a fixed idea that If a French army were to land at Newhaven or Shoreham, they would imme diately march to London. We are, however, by DO means snre that they would not play a more formi dable game. The st eamers which carried the French c l troops in such nu m b ers to Rome might soon I 30,000 or 40,000 m en on our coasts . Suppose that, instead of marching towards London, they were ~~ ~ / ...„, , iv , , ~...- „.......0 _,,,, z _ .. „0 to lay all _t south of Engirt" under ntri. butions—to eaten Portsrno , lym , Sheer ness, and .c, t haw, by turns—and, following the example 0f , 4 , estermann in La Vendee Po lay waste the try with fire and sword. IVlight not c i such a force so engage our whole attention as to render it altnost impossible to prevent it from serving as the avant courier to a far more formidable inva sion ? The most effectual way to restrain the ravages of such a body of men—ravages which, independently of the amount of misery which they would ca use, might be the precursors of a struggle for national existence—seems to be that which we have now indi cated. And let it be remembered that, on the one hand, the new rifles, as Colonel Chesney has shown, have greatly added to the resources of defence— whilst, on the other, however defective may be our knowledge of the gun, we are unrivalled in the use of the spade. With a large amount of convict labour absolutely disposable, and with any required quan tity of free labour readily obtainable, we might soon— and at very little expense —construct works which, if defended by a due proportion of cannoneers and rifle men, would so hamper the movements of an invading force as to make it no easy matter to levy contribu tions on us. It is one thing to ravage an open country with flying columns, skilled by African practice in all the arts of plunder—and it is another to undertake the attack of works which could be only overcome by the use of heavy artillery. DAILY N EWS. —Yesterday, in the letter of our Portsmouth correspondent, we gave an enumeration no less startling than instructive of the floating garri sons we maintain on the maritime frontiers of Turkey, Portugal, China, Guinea, and Brazil, while our own shores are left undefended by ramparts either of wood or stone. For purposes of cosmopolitan philanthropy we keep an armed flotilla of eight vessels, five of which are fast-sailing steamers, having a total of eighty eight guns, off the eastern coast of South America. For similar benevolent objects we keep no fewer than twenty three vessels of war on the slave -trading coasts of Africa ' • besides nine ships, incl u di ng three steamers, at the Cape. Then there are between th e North American and West Indian stations fourteen ships, out of which five are steamers, being a total of 253 guns , while in the Eastern Ocean there are no less than fourteen vessels, four of them steamers, mounting 286 guns ; and in the more remote Pacific, fifteen, carrying 292 guns. The Lisbon squadron consists of eight vessels with 318 guns ; and finally, the Mediterranean fleet comprises a force of six line-of-battle ships of 120 to 78 guns each, two fifty-gun frigates, and nine steamers which, with lesser craft, make up twenty in all, carrying 780 guns. Now here is an amount of naval power at the disposal of a single state such as the world never before saw. There may have been a longer list of armed sail in our grandfathers' time ; but wind and tide were then irresistible, for steam as a countervailing impulse was unknown. But taking all things into account, whether we regard celerity of movement, precision of direction, or weight of destructive metal, we repeat that Great Britain pos sesses the most wondrous naval force that has ever floated on the world's waters. Strange and humiliating, that in the same breath we are com pelled to own that the seaboard of the United Kingdom should nevertheless lie—as it does at the present hour—denuded of all protection from its natural guard—s ready and a tempting prey to any piratical adventure or perfidious coup de main. How is this ? Who is to blame ? What is the remedy for a state of things so intolerable ? And how can it most speedily and effectually be secured ? These are grave questions which will press for an imme dtate and explicit answer at the hands of Ministers on the re -assembling of Parliament. Let us endervour to anticipate a little in what manner they will be answered. We can readily imagine with what consummate rhetoric Lord John Russell will begin to wind up the sentimental patriotism of his hearers in the Lower House, on the theme of the " coast in danger." We can fancy the enthusiastic chorus of lordlings and would-be lords which will be awakened by every historical allusion to " the flag that braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze." And we can but too readily realise the rollicking air with which Sir Charles Wood may offer to whistle away the surplus of revenue, in order to raise new regiments and com mission additional ships for the benefit of the united service, and all younger sons and brothers who are anxious to belong thereto. We have little doubt that every true Tory would hail with delight such an an nouncement. Increased armaments mean two things in preesenti, beside much more in expectancy. They mean increased outlay among the idle classes, and upon the most worthless portion of them whose maintenance in economic times is often burthensome to heads of noble and honourable families. They further imply the probability of some quarrel with somebody or other being speedily picked, in order to give the new battalions something to do—a prospect lull of charms to those self-same classes. Then in no distant perspective there is seen gorgeous visions of enhanced prices and augmented customs''duties. A. corn-law was but a substitute in peace for the un limited blessings of war ; and the landed interest would ' cheerfully relinquish their pauper-spirited demand for protection were they assured of the surpassing bene fits of a general European war. It )s not in prefer ence that they harass their own people and strip their native fields of the fruits of the peasant's industry. They would rather be let loose against neighbours or strangers, in the Christian-like acquisition of prize money or other kinds of what is considered honourable plunder—with the comfortable assurance of pensions, titles, and decorations at the end of the campaign. The ' military profession is more than sufficiently repre sented in the present House of Commons. But were it not so, the instincts and sympathies of the classes, who contrive to make their own of it in the main, would be certain to insure any proposal for more armaments a rapturous reception from the irresponsible Members for uncontested counties and incontestably corrupt or controlled boroughs. It re mains, however, to ask, how would such a Ministerial announcement be received by those who really have been sent by intelligent and independent constituen. ties to Parliament, to watch over their interests, and to defend them against evils from within as well as dangers from without ? Both duties manifestly are all necessary devolved upon them; and from the discharge of nei ther can they . be exonerated. No good and wi se citizen can be indifferent to the obligation which, a s a i• e o s f e r vtaking . ye other r caprice h hand, nd, of fo reignnon iruelaenr,shfeoroiwtsessatfoelytheasntdatpe No such man will feel himself at liberty to trifle with the integrity bullied despots the lives and of the realm, or to le ß av a e t. at e t n he t m he erc properties of a . r o t the blood-stained o 9 o l 3 d n wise legislator will into suffer himself to be bamboozled or y held the • which blighting . t t o sot aliBnesd, refitting tahnea upon oligarchyhlbsaleidgdhbedlienng wasted, of ruthl i e ts ss constitution violence very heart a n tainted i enormously increased, and. undermined, its debt incessant thoughts anything ow n merciless td b y We know how many years of peace it took f o e v en restoreg e . tone to the like a healthful, moral, or indus trialthe end of the system, prostrated as it was left at victors, but at last European war. We were indeed what a cost were our martial triumphs purchased ? Have we paid off the incumbrances of that infatuated _struggle yet ? or do we ever look for w ar d to being able to do so ? We cannot easily forget our eight hundred millions of debt. No • 1 and, therefore, we say let us in our present emergency think, speak, and act as sober minded and as honest men. Let us, instead of rushing blindly into new taxes or new debt in order to provide gold lace and glory for our idle gentry and nobility, look narrowly into the actual resources we fortunately possess ; and see if they may not be found sufficient for all our real needs. Let the fleets in the Tagus, on the American coasts, and wherever else they can bast be spared, be at once summoned home. If there be positions which we cannot abandon, let these be still maintained ; but let the Quixotic and questionable function of acting as naval sentry on the courts or coasts of foreign na tions be relinquished, as it ought to have long since been. When England has been made secure--and her free people can once more sleep in an assured peace—then let Lord John propose a new tax, or a new loan, to equip a fleet for the use of the Queen of Portugal—and let him go to the hustings on that hopeful cry. But let not the nation be jockeyed into estimates for the defence of the realm, when we have actually afloat in foreign waters the most powerful and magnificent fleet the world has ever seen. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE . Yesterday, of any event lik e l y to c h ange t h e a spect of the dispute again, passed over without the occurrence between the operative engineers and their employers. No advance has yet been made towards a reconciliation between the two parties, although the general expres sion of opinio n u p on the part of the op erative s continues to run in fa vou r o f a fair settlemen t b y arbi tration.
