When, pleasing to myself, as you'll suppose, A most amusing incident arose. Friend Harrison is one who well enjoys, A little pleasure with his little boys. And so you'll think, on reading this suggestion, Of Mr. H. upon the night in question. " My lads," said he, "I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll buy the clothes, and leave the choice to you. Let each one choose whose dress he'd like to wear, And let's have Vote by Ballet—that's most fair ; You'll not consult together—each must choose According to his own unbiassed views. Write down your favourite shops—and after that, I'll put the slips of paper in a hat ; • And then shall Mr. Temple (meaning me) Make known your choices, just as they may be." , The lads delighted, did as they were told, And half-a-dozen ballots were unrolled. , I took the papers, and on opening one, I found it written thus :—E. M. and SON. The second paper was the very same, And Number Three bore also MOSES' name. Four, five, and six were likewise worded thus, And hence the ballot was unanimous. '• Now," said the father, " what the ballot shows, is . That all of you have 'duly valued MOSES; And every one of you, as you desire, Shall have a suit of MOSES' YOUTH'S ATTIRE. I hear, my lads, that MOSES' Lave on hand A stock of dress unequalled in the land. We'll go to-morrow to the noted Mart, Where juvenile attire is sold so smart; And having ordered what you need in that, MOSES shall furnish each A lIA.NDSOME HAT. My own, in which the ballot-slips were tossed Is high in quality, though low in cost ; And those, my boys, which I shall buy for you, • Will look right well. and ample service do. THE BOOTS AND SHOES Which I shall purchase there Are just the things for lads like you to wear. I quite commend your choice, and your Mamma, Seems pleased to find what your selections are. • And by-the-bye, we must remember her, By patronising MOSES' STYLISH FUR. For I suppose, ray lads, your votes included Tho articles to which I have alluded; And, doubtless, you will all conclude with me, That MOSES sells UNRIVALLED HOSIERY. MOSES and SON in this have long been noted, 'And well you seemed to know it, when you voted. I quite commend you for the choice you carry, ,Jem, Alexander, Tom, Ned, Bill, and Harry. ,And Mr. Temple I am sure won't fail, To make your choice the subject for a tale." _ E. ifOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to their low lists of ontflta, commencing (including every necessary) at 755., lower if required. The list can be had on application, or seat poet free. Notice.—A New Department for the sale of Parasols and Chil area's Dresses has been opened at 157, Mineries. E.

Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony tome. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this sppor trinity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the eillcacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole efhsr hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than Timor was betbre the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this tecimony faCthe virtues of Mr. G.'s ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous healache; as a toilet porflime iti far beyond any to her taste. She wit feel a pleasare in answering any lady of respectability to the abotafaetf.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In oases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or tuning grey, ate w drops en the crown of the lead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, aid prevent it turning grey, renderitg the hair luxuriant and curly.

HYAM, Proprietor of the Pantechnetheca, 36, Gracechurch•street, London. _ . No business transacted on Saturday until the Evening. L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the hisman breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but mere engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt 'from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly *son in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life tine spent in the fulfilmeni,. of every engagement, snap the very con tract:asander which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, sr the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched conditien of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the nsost miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the Wiest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF - PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, pkysiologY, And diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe loss ea Hie secret inflrmities of youth and maturity, resuliMtfroci solitary habits, excesses, or infection. By SAMUEL LA'MEET, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate if Apothecaries' Mall, Londen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, dm This treatise is the result of s. long course of study in a peculiar and mach neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the kighest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases.

It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, spun all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy.

Ensor, of this town, had seventy-nine sheep grazing in a field adjoining the Yeovil -road. On the following' morning his shepherd, James Bunter, counted the flock and found that a fat wether sheep had been carried off in the night. Under the hedge, in an adjoining field, were found the entrails of the animal; and an examination of the road disclosed the foot marks of a horse, showing that the thieves had not carried their •booty home on their own backs. Mr. Ensor obtained the assistance of a police constable (Haggett), wh o traced the horse's foot marks along the lane leading to Marshton, where the thieves had made a bend as if for Sherborne, and here the traces were somewhat confused ; but they were again taken up in the road leading to Trent, and con tinued into that village, within a few yards of the house of John Martin, who kept a horse, and hawked salt about for sale. Suspicion fallin g upon this individual, a search-warrant was procured, and his house entered. Two young fe llows, brothers, named George and Charles Eades, were found sitting by the fire, over which was suspended an iron pot. Haggett imme diately raised the lid, and found in it three pieces of mutton; and, on looking round the room he discovered, between the joists of the bedroo m floor and the wall, seven or eight pounds of melted mutton fat. The two Eades' and Martin (who were upstairs) were at once taken into custody, and brought into Sherborne for ex amination before the 11ev. L. Parsons. In addition to the circumstances we have stated, it was proved before the magistrates by Wm. H. T r oop, constable of Here thorne Hundred, that prints had been made by Martin's horse. The horse had a contracted foot, and the nails of the shoe projected, making the print so remarkable that Toop, who is a blacksmith by trade, said he had no doubt whatever that the ma r k s were those of Martin's horse. The prisoners protested they know nothing of the charge, and were fully committed to Dorchester gaol for trial at the next sessions. This is, we believe, almost the only case on record wherein the footmarks of a horse led to the apprehension of suspected thieves.— Somerset County Herald Tun BLACKBIRD AND . THE GREY RAT.—Two blackbirds have for some time past taken up their quar ters near the avenue leading to Brechin Castle, and have paid daily visits to the gatekeeper a t t h e h our when he was feeding the poytry. The utmost good feeling was manifested by the utoultry to their sable visitors, allowing them freely td partake of the good things daily spread out on the well stored poultry board of his Lordship. One day lately, when employed in feeding his feathery tribe, the gatekeeper observed a rat of the grey species cautiously approaching the black birds, and when within a few feet of one of them, the rat made a sudden spring, and fixed on the back of it. Off flew blackie with the grey enemy on his back ; but the weight of the denizen of the gutter Was too strong for the songster of the wood, and, after flying upwards of fifty yards, the gatekeeper immediately sprung to the rescue of his favourite ; but the rat, no doubt antici pating what would be its fate wore it to remain within reach, relaxed its hold, and darted off, apparently nene the worse of its aerial flight. The poor bird was then received into the hands of Mr. Hunter, much mutilated ; but hopes are entertained of its recovery. —Montrose Standard.

If we mistake not, England recognised the neutrality of Moldavia and Wallachia, not merely in 1824, but in 1828 and 1829, at both of which periods Viscount Palmerston formed a portion of the Government—first, under Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning, and secondly, under the Duke of Wellington. Independently, altogether, however, of considerations of principle, right, and international law—the concentra tion of Russian troops on a strategetical point. of se much importance as Bucharest—a point from , which they may be directed against either Hungary, Italy, Germany, Constantinople, or France, is a question of the very gravest European importance—a question which concerns England more intimately than at the first blush clearly appears. We believe that our con sul general, Mr. Colquhoun, in the principalities, has done all that a British agent could or ought to de in this Wallachian question ; and we also believe that Sir Stratford Canning has held a proper and fitting lan guage, and given the best advice at Constantinople. But it seems to us that it is not at Constantinople such re monstrances should be loudly heard, but at Danko, Zelo, at Peterhoff, or at St. Petersburgh. Any habi tual reader of this paper must be well aware that we have almost invariably treated Viscount Palmerston with the greatest leniency. We not only believe him to be by far the ablest man in the Ministry, but one of the very few gentlemen in the Whig-Radical Cabinet. But But his culpable complacency —his dilatoriness—his negligence—his blandness and poco-curante policy, its anything in which Russian interests or Russian views are mixed up, is his chief opprobrium—his cardinal and most conspicuous defect. Indeed, it would latterly seem as though, out of mere wanton bravado, the temeraire vieillard (we would not for the world use the words old man, so spitefully employed in the Chronicle of Satur day) is disposed to give some colouring of truth to the lofty flights of fancy of the member for Stafford. DAILY NEWS.—For the Times to continue urban, and decorous two days in succession is no doubt difficult. It greeted Mr. Cobden's budget, on Saturday, with half insinuated distrust and polite persiflage, but 4 1 it was wondrous civil. Yesterday, however, the Times made itself staple amends for this brief exercise of self-con• trol, and relapsed into its natural vocabulary. It ac cused Mr. Cobden, " if not of ignorance or haste, of it scandalous piece of dishonesty. All this, because of the assertion that the dominant class of the Legislature have exempted themselves from the probate and legacy duty, and that the extension of the probate and legacy duty to real estate, entailed and unentailed, will yield, at a moderate' estimate, 1,500,000/. per annum. This state ment the Times characterises as false and dishonest-- first, on the ground that all real property does not enjoy the exemption; secondly, on the ground that real property is under peculiar burdens and legal disadvantages. The first of these reasons is a mere play upon words —a taking shelter behind the technical jargon of the courts of law. The Times does not deny that real estate, en tailed and -unentailed, was withdrawn from the opera tion of the legacy and probate duties against the will of Pitt, who introduced those duties, the corresponding Bill on real property having been flung out by the coun try gentlemen. It does not deny that real estate, if taxed at the came rate as the property subjected to these duties, would yield a revenue of 1,500,000/. per annum ; or that the great bulk of the property thus emancipated from taxation is owned by the titled and untitled aristocracy who have hitherto made the House of Commons, and - by its instrumentality made our laws. This is the important fact, and this the I imes cannot call in question. The Times asserts that all leasehold property is liable to probate or legacy duty (a mistake so far as leasoholds are concerned), and that " the greater part of this metropolis, and a considerable portion of the house property and other buildings throughout the whole kingdom is held for terms of years." Very true; the millowner holds his factory on a building lease ; the lawyer, doctor, shopkeeper, and all of the industrial classes who have houses of their own, generally hold them upon a building lease ; and they are subjected to the.probate and legacy duties, whilst the ground landlord is exempted from it. This is pre cisely what Mr. Cobden ;complains of: the Times has proved his case. The assertion that the landlords ought to continue exempted from legacy and probate duties because they are subjected to peculiar burdens is equally unten able. " The conveyance of landed property is burthened by heavier charges than the transfer of personality." True; but the charges are paid, not to the State, but to the lawyers, and they are paid in consequence of the laws made by the owners of that kind of property. It is no answer to a complaint on the part of the Indus ' trial classes that the landlords have exempted them selves from a heavy contribution towards the support of government, that they are foolish enough to uphold a system by which they are taxed for the private emolu ment of legal practitioners. The landlords (our lawr makers) might relieve themselves of this tax for the benefit of trade, and Government be not a penny the poorer. That they choose to indulge in the luxury of an expensive lay stem of conveyancing is no reason for exempting them from contributing their fair share towards the expenses of the State. They might as reasonably claim such an exemption on the ground that th, it turtle, pine-apples, and champagne are more expensive than the labourer's bread and beer. They are the law-makers, and the industrial class gains no thing by the foolish laws they have made to injure themselves. The privilege of making the laws is an axe with which they have cut and hewed at all around them. If from their awkwardness they have hit their own shins on one occasion, is the already over-taxed public to be mulcted to pay for a plaister ? Again, .saith the 7 imes, " real p roperty pays more than EIX millions a year to the relief of the poor ; personal property nil." This is simply untrue. Poor-rates are charged, not on the owners but on the occupiers, of real property. The warehouseman, the shopkeeper, the manufacturer, the house tenant, the mortgagee, the railway shareholder, all pay poor rates. The landlord is assessed directly; his tenants are as sessed indirectly : but in point of fact the industrial class are subjected to the poor-rates as well as the land owning law-making class. There is not a merchant or manufacturer in Yorkshire or Lancashire, there is not a householder in London, who cannot by the production of the collector's receipt for poor-rates disprove the assertion of the Times, that the class which has exempted itself from taxes to the amount of 1,500,0001. per annum pays the whole of the poor -rates. The Times cites the case of landlords taxed as high as one fifth of their income for the relief of the poor. All we can say of such cases is, that they must be Irish landlords or much akin to them. Landlords have poor rates very much under their control; and, instead of paying one•fifth of their income to them, as the Times exemplifies, they very often pay nothing at all, and fling the residue of their workmen and the support of their paupers upon districts where the non-landlord class abounds. The next plea set up by the Times is the fun niest of all. The landowner pays tithes! He has re ceived, or he has purchased his estate, with the full knowledge and condition that a certain portion of its produce belongs not to him, but to the church. The Times calls this a tax upon the landholder. It might as well designate rent as a tax upon the farmer. The next thing the Times will propose is no doubt the repeal of this tax, the abolition of this tithe. It might as well turn communist, and abrogate rent! The land-tax is another exclusive burden, according to the Times. What, however, was the land-tax Originally, but a sub stitute for a feudal service, or for a rent actually charged by law on landed property, and commuted to this tax, which has dwindled to a diminutive fraction of the pro fits of land, augmented as these have been to enormous dimensions, not by the culture or industry of the land lord, but by the rise and increase of mercantile industry around him? The Times, in making up the landlords' account, does not spare an item. The county rates are another exclusive burden. Pray, what are the rates for the paving and lighting of towrui? Cannot the country gentlemen trot or drive over the town pavement without a charge, whilst the towns man, if he sends his cart, and tarns his horse over the road and bridge paid out of the county rate, is compelled instantly to pay . his quota in th e s h ape o f a turnpike toll? As to lunatic asylums, police, and all the sundries of the Trmes, does not th e t own tenant pay them out of his personal property? But we see the reason why the Tines has selected this one, and the most unassaila bl e portion of Mr. C o bd en ' s b udget for attack. It is , that by exciting and exacerbating controversy on this point it may blow and widen the old quarrel between the reformers and the landed interest; the inklings of which for the cause of retrenchmont are , above all things, most dreaded' by the oligare hy In this, however, the Times shall b e disappointedlWe c laim nothing bu t a fair apportionment of taxation, local as well as general. We wish to destroy that old juggle of taxing by com pensation, and of loading different classes with different burdens, and exciting mutual jealousies, in order that, owing to their divisions, the oligarchy . may have more facility for overburdening and despoiling both.

SINGULAR PRESERVATION OF A CAT.-A short time since whilst the Blessing, of Goole, was taking in coal, a cat got into the hold of the vessel and secreted herself under two large pieces of coal, which formed a sort of covering or protection for her—somewhat in the shape of the letter A. _cargo was thrown in and corn • pleted, and poor puss us buried alive.

HERALD.—We are no t as h ame d to confess that we regard the appearance of Mr. Cobden's budget with some alarm. We have not to learn to-day the power of agita lion sustained by unblushing falsehood. We have lived to see miracles achieved by daring democrats, unscrupu lous in their means, and:indomitable in the pursuit of a well-defined end. The masses are impotent in the pre sence of appeals to their passions, founded on a well affected sorrow for their privations, and upon a burning desire to place them superior to misfortune, and beyond the reach of suffering. It is little to the purpose that facts are against the agitator, and that experience denies the cogency of his logic. It is nothing that a reference to records destroys in an instant the solidity of hid fabric, and that a moment's reflection is sufficient to scatter to the winds the inflammatory harangues of a night. The reflection never comes. That which is disagreeably true is by no means so acceptable as that which is pleasantly false. Mr. Bright, upon the hustings in Yorkshire, bellowing to a crowd, asserts that upwards (146,000/. a year are paid out of the taxes to support the colonial bishops, and a general groan is elicited in con demnation of the extravagant expenditure. What avails it that the statement is untrue, and that proofs are in ex istence to make it clear that 14,7901. only are paid for the support of the hooted dignitaries 2 " This year," writes Mr. Cobden, addressing physical force throughout the land, "frill be memorable for having witnessed the ciestruction of the last remaining powers of feudalism in all the countries of the Continent, excepting Russia. But I know of no privilege which the nobles of Prussia, Gallicia, or Hungary have been compelled to surrender, as a tribute to the enlightenment of this age, more unjust in principle than that which is conferred upon our landed proprietors in the statute, passed by themselves, imposing duties exclusively upon the inheritanee of personal pro perty. Let us not boast of English freedom, or equality before the law whilst this injustice remains. In what form could aristocratic privilege assume a more offensive and costly aspect than in that of a bold and palpable ex " emption from taxation?" What are prosaic figures and unobtrusive facts presenting themselves to biassed minds a week after hatred has been secured, and class placed against class, with fire kindled at the heart and passion quivering on the brow? Landlords may preach till they are hoarse—the owners of real property protest till they are spent, it matters not. A friend of the people declares that the rich are living on the poor, are passing laws for themselves at the expense of all beneath them—and, do what you will, the people believe him. Aristocrats claim no beld and palpable exemption from taxation. Their burdens are proportioned to their strength, and their duties correspond with their privi leges; but declare it in every market-place in England, and the ear shall be stone-deaf through which the abomi nable lie has once passed. The difficulty of legislation for the future consists in this very circumstance. As in Ire land nothing useful can be accomplished until tran quillity is restored, so in England no permanent advance can be made till agitation is silenced, Class must be reconciled to class, ill blood must subside, truth must be spoken and tolerated, before we can move an inch forward with safety to the nation. We have lega lised illegal combinations until they boldly usurp the work of the Legislature, and openly perform it with a natural view to their selfish ends. Sir Robert Peel did homage to the League, when, as Prime Minister, he welcomed Mr. Cobden as the hero of a triumph ; 'and a now league now puts the same hero forward with the full assurance of a second and a greater victory. When and where are we to stop ? That the humbler classes will remember the false promises held out to them during the agitation of the League we entertain no hope. The theory of free trade may fail a hundred times in practice, but so long as poverty lasts and wealth abounds, the suf ferings of the former will still seek for elucidation in the comforts and enjoyments of the latter. 'We were to have had a social millenium with the corn-laws repealed and protective :duties abolished ; something very different arrives, and instead of a confession of failure we receive a declaration of war ; a determina tion to gain at all risks the prosperity which has eluded us, and to destroy and distribute what yet remains, if we cannot avail ourselves of the present or restore the past. Agitation is still in advance of the age, let the age itself be never so revolutionary. We would simply warn politicians of every class that the present design of Mr. Cobden is to uproot everything. If it be true, as Sir Culling Eardley states in his parting address to the electors of the 'West Riding, that he has " been defeated, not by the Tories, but by a section of th e Whigs," it is especially t o suc h Whigs, who have at length taken alarm at the proceedings and tendencies of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, that we would address in time a word of caution and advice. Let them comply with the demands of the Leaguer to-day, and the last blow will have been struck. Reform will in deed be consummat e d w ith co l on i es g i ven up, our army disbanded, our fleet paid off, and the empire , z ;3 . deliberately placed at the mercy of the world. There a will be no need to discuss matter in detail when all will hive been decided at one fell swoop. Conservatives do 7 well to wrangle about the petty differences which keep 14 them now asunder, with the common enemy at the gate, and with a question impending, which, ridiculous and monstrous as it may look, will, once started, be 4 freely discussed in every city of the United Kingdom, n and entertained with a steady belief in its speedy and 18 satisfactory solution. All parties in the state can afford 25 to wait for the verdict which experience shall give of the 1 triumphant success or utter failure of the measures of 8 1846, but no party attached to the Throne and the in 'ls stitutions of the country, .loving order and abhorring ' 22 the doings which have disgraced the continent during 29 the last twelvemonth, can afford to deliberate a 6 moment upon • the propri e ty o f crus hi ng i n t h e i r 13 birth designs subversive of all the country holds dear, 2 0 of all that Englishmen cherish, of all that, as loyal '27 sons of our common fatherland, we care to uphold. Mr. Cobden has oftener than once declared himself a citizen 3 of the world. He proudly acknowledges that he cares 10 not to legislate for England, save and except as a por -17 tion of a peopled world; he has publicly declared his 24 disgust for national anthems and those spirit-stirring 1 themes which treat of our supremacy on the seas, and 15 of our hardly-acquired influence throughout the globe. '2 The undisguised dislike which the gentleman has evinced for the :aristocracy, and the impudent allusions which, from time to time, he has made to the useless splendours of a court, indicate the bent of his mind and the final aim of his political aspirations. But it becomes a ques tion for us all to consider, whether we are prepared to pull down the pre-eminence of Great Britain, and to ex change our monarchy for modern republicanism, at the call of ono so manifestly unfit, from his want of nation ality, to judge of what is good or fitting for the nation in the present crisis to adopt. The question needs an answer. Before mischief takes root in the soil it must be driven from the land. Before the poison works, the antidote must be given. Let the people of England be protected from Mr. Cobden by the counsel and aid of their best friends. The new league in its infancy must be met by another, The league of specials which put down Chartism on the 10th of April is a model for our imitation. The combination of the good, the wise, the loyal, the orderly, and the well-disposed, must interpose forthwith, in steady and compact phalanx, between Mr. Richard Cobden and the men he would make his instru ments as well as victims. TIMES.—We acknowledge that it has not been with out considerable uneasiness that we have perused a pamphlet " On the Deficiency of European Officers in the Army of India," by " One of Themselves." We need certainly prefix no introduction, and we seed scarcely add any comment to the following facts and figures, which we condense from the statement alluded to. The Royal regiments OR the Indian establishment consist of twenty-five corps of infantry and five of ca valry. These thirty regiments have a complement of 1,440 officers. - The regular army of the East India Company consists of twenty-four regiments of artillery, eight regiments of engineers, twenty-one regiments of cavalry, and 161 regiments of infantry. These two hun dred and fourteen regiments have a complement of 5,161 European officers. Stated more particularly, the pro portion of officers to a regiment of the Queen's or the Company's service respectively is as follows: Queen's Cavalry. Company's Cavalry. 2 Lieutenant-Colonels... ... 1 2 Majors 9 Captains ... 18 Lieutenants „, S Cornets ••• ••• •- 1 Adjutant „, 1 Quartermaster 1 Paymaster ... 42 19 Queen's Infantry. Company's Infantry. 2 Lieutenant• Colonels... 1 2 Majors 10 Captains 6 23 Lieutenant• 10 8 Ensigns ... ••• 6 I Adjutant ••• ... 0 1 Quartermaster 1 Paymaster ... 0 48 23 These figures are startling enough, but they do not tell one-half the tale. In the first place, there are the stern necessities of furlough induced by the climate and dis tanco of India. Nearly all the colonels of regiments, 217 in number, though included in the total of 5,161 above mentioned, aro; and have been for many years, absent from their corps. One of them expired since this pamphlet was published—a veteran who had served under Clive himself. and who was a field-officer when Warren Hastings was dilating upon the woes of the Begutes. Nobody can possibly object to such an ar rangement, but it is proper to show out of what items this singular total is compounded. But too many junior officers are driven to a premature retreat by the contin gencies of the service, and, indeed, we have repeatedly advocated the expediency of still further facilitating those opportunities of furlough to which we now refer. In the next place, from this body of officers are supplied all the civil, military, and political functionaries of the general and regimental staff; and, lastly, from the same source are sought the requisite European officers for no fewer than ninety irregular and local regiments. By a calculation made from the returns of the present year it is found that there are actually on furlough 686 officers, on general staff 1,000, on regimental staff 395; so that 3,080 officers aro all, upon the highest computation , who axe left for the service of au army of 214 battalions, doing war duty on a field about as large as Europe! When we come to details, the state of affairs seems still more astounding. There aro only 222 officers of artil lery for 12 troops and 42 companies kept constantly ready for immediate field service. For the ten regular cavalry regiments of Bengal there are only at this mo ment available I 1 1 officers, being eleven officers to a regiment! and this where the whole essence of the service consists in imparting the advantages of European disci pline to native troopers! Leather gloves, sleeves stiff with silver lace, shakos, and bear-skins--all that the Indian holds in aversion, we furnish in abundance, but that symbolgnidan we e a de ofnd ol c o o u nttr:,itlhthe whie m h ossutchwattheihnigusl parsimony. areonlya As for the operation of all these practices on the effec tive strength of infantry regiments, two simple facts will be more illustrative than any comment. In the latter part of 1846, out of four regiments cantoned together at Barrackpore there could only be mustered two cap tains prese n t an d ava il a bl e f or duty ; and at this very moment, under the walls of Moultan, there is a regi ment from which every single captain and the two senior subalterns also are absent on other calls. This requires, perhaps, - a little fuller elucidation, as our readers may be naturally perplexed to conceive how such officers as those, which are the boast of our Indian army, could ever be found absent from their regiments in time of action, whatever indulgence they might reasonably require at periods of less exigence. But the truth is, that they are absent, not on their own affairs, but the affairs of the state. They are detached from their original duties to duties for the performance of which no provision has been otherwise made. On inquiry it would very pro bably be found that the absentees from the regiment en camped under Moultan were either raising Paten levies on the Indus, or commanding some irregular corps in Bunnoo, or discharging some similar duty in the very war which is supposed to be demanding and receiving their services in another capacity. Major Edwardes himself is a conspicuous example of the practice. While ho was beating Moolraj on his own territory, and giving his superiors an opportunity of finishing the war at a blow, his place in his regiment was left to be taken by another. The case is precisely the same with those offi cers who are holding Peshawur and Attock, and keeping Chuttur Singh in check in the Hasareh.When the Seikh corps was formed after our occupation of Lahore two cap tains were required for it. They were selected from the 11th and 33d Regiments of Native Infantry, and their ap pointments left the former corps with only two captains remaining, and the latter with one. We are very far from imagining that these arduous and critical duties could ever be better discharged than by that class of men to whom they are entrusted at present. The Go vernment and its officers are alike gainers by the prac tice ; but it must be obvious that the service, on its present footing, .can never support such a demand.' Of the alternatives proposed—either that the complement of regimental officers, or that the civil staff, should be immediately and considerably increased, we incline at first sight to prefer the former ; for, though the general aptitude developed by good military discipline enables a soldier to make an excellent civilian, there is no such reason for anticipating that a civilian could, upon emergency, become a soldier. In one suggestion which this pamphlet revives we cordially concur. It is to the effect that the commissions of these officers should cease to be limited "to the East Indies only." In its principle this scheme is known to have received the highest •military authority living, who recommended Nearly half a century ago that the Company's officers, after attaining a certain rank, should be eligible to serve the British Crown in any part of the world. We cannot afford to lose the advantages of such a school as India. It is true that we secure them to some extent by the turns which the royal army takes in this peculiar ser vice; but what would have been the result had the Con queror of Assayei been a Company's o ffi cer? And why should the country be deprived of the service of any new Sepoy General whose abilities may be developed on the plains of the Punjaub? lIERALD.—Our readers will find to-day in another portion of our paper a second letter from " A W alla chian," touching countries but little known to theinha bitants of Great Britain, but which, nevertheless, pre sent a double claim to the interest of Englishmen. The principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia are interesting —firstly, on account of the wide field they open to Eng lish enterprise; and, secondly, because of the misfor tunes which hays hitherto retarded the full development of their great natural advantages. Nor are the Danubian principalities alone rich in the fertility of their soil. They are wealthy also in the variety and supe riority of its produce, in the multitude of the herds and flocks fed on their rich pastures, in the numerous rivers abounding in fish which intersect them, and in the mines of gold, silver, and copper which the princi palities abundantly contain. More especially rich in agricultural produce is Wallachia—called by the Turks Carabog Land, or land of black wheat—Walla chia—concerning which our valuable correspondent for the second time addresses us, to-day', a com munication which should commend itself to the attention of every Englislunan who bestows the least thought on fore ii;,n politics. It is not alone, hos ever, as rich and productive lands that we ought to regard these Danubian principalities. Favoured by an admirable geographical position, they form strategetical as well as commercial station", whose importance cannot be too much over-rated by any great military, naval, or com mercial power. Near to the mouth of the finest river in EurUpe—the "dark-rolling Danube"---ta;y are bounded on the ono side by the Black Sea, and on the other by a chain of mountains most favourable to pro duction and vegetation. Nor is the character of the people such as to render them unworthy of :the rich gifts which nature has bestowed upon them. The Ro maic people which inhabit these regions, known to us under the name of Wallachians, are a sober, laborious, generous, and intelligent race—a race which for many , centuries has formed a bulwark of Christianity and civi lization, however imperfect, .against the invasions of fanatic Islamism and Turkish barbarism. Our correspondent's version of the so-called Wallachian revolution we believe to be in the main cor rect. Curiously enough it is corroborated, in all its principal features, by the letters of our Constantinople correspondent, written at the time, and published in England in June, July, and August. The Wallachian revolution, in the proper sense of the term, was no revo lution at all—or if a revolution, was one of those peace ful revolutions so in every way preferable to bloodshed and barricades. It was, in a word, a mere modification of the fundamental laws of Wallachia, which the reign ing Prince first accepted, and immediately after abdi cated. The new Government was recognised in the name of the Porte by Soleyman Pacha, and the exam ple of the Turkish Plenipotentiary was followed by the representatives of the different Powers at Bucharest. Soon after, however—while the amended constitu tion, in which Soleyma n hi mse lf b ad suggested modifications, was working, or, as the French would say, " functioning" well—a Turkish army presented itself before Bucharest—an army whose chiefs professed, and probably truly professed, that they were sent thither in order to deprive Russia of all pre text for interference. Confiding in the honour and honesty of the Turks—our correspondent, "a Walla chian,' states .that 100,000 of his countrymen—Out here there must, we conceive, be some mistake, for Bucharest does not contain much above 80,000 inhabi tants)—went out to meet the Turkish army. Fuad Ef fenidi, the Turkish Commissioner, invited the Walla chians to send a deputation to his camp; but the deputa tion were made prisoners, and were dragged from one dungeon to another by order of the foreign adventurer, Duhamel, who has attained the rank of General in the Russian service. Reams hile Fuad Effendi's army pre cipitated itself by forced marches on Bucharest, the cavalry trampling down those Wallachians who had gone out to meet them as friends, and the infantry firing on and shooting down the Wallachian soldiers. This movement of the Turks was, no doubt, directed by the Russian Commissary-General, for the Walla chiming had always hitherto looked on the Turks as friends, and had on more than one occasion abstained from resistance to deprive Russia of all pretext for in terference. On the present occasion it was impossible there could be a mistake as to the facts. The voice that commanded was the voice of the Turk, but the hand that directed all was not a Moslem, but a Moscovite hand. In four and twenty hours, this was plain to the most unbelieving. The day after the entry of the Turks into Bucharest a proclamation of ithe Russian General Luders announced a violation of the Wallachian terri tory by Russian troops. A Russian army arrested several of the Wallachian functionaries, and dragged them in chains through the public streets. The money in the Government chest was seized by Russian hands and pocketed, and booty taken either by fair means or foul was sold by Russians in the public market place. Whole herds and flocks were carried off by the Muscovite troops, and the resources of the country having by these means been exhausted within a few days, the Turkish Government came to a re solution to defray the expenses of their army of observation. Not so the Russians. As if to have a mortgage on the Wallachian soil, the Russian Government caused a credit to be opened in Petersburgh for the army stationed at Wallachia, and every penny paid to that army has b een p l aced to the debit side of the account of Wallachia. Russian and Turkish com missaries, together with Cantacusene--a creature of Russia—were subsequently installed in the place of the native _Government. A Paella ss as nominated military commander of Bucharest, and all concerned in the revo lution, or rather in the peaceful change of the funda mental laws, were at once proscribed.
