TIC CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT. The preparations connected with the camp and bar racks at Aldershott are not proceeding with the rapidity w hi c h might be expected and which is so highly desira ble. The summer will probably have terminated and autumn have set in before all the huts have been com pleted ; as for the barracks, they may be said to be at a stand still, for the plan of them first proposed now finds less favour in the eyes of those in authority than another which is under consideration, and which we hear has been drawn up without any reference to the extent a nd capabilities of the site they are intended to occupy. First the land is bought, and for months there is little or no thing done to it in the way of preliminary arrangements ; then orders are suddenly given for the execution ofevery thing requisite to a camp and depot, these orders i n the i hurry putting the cart before the horse w herever it s pos sible to do so ; next comes a second lull, during whic h plans already settled are re-opened for cons ideration, and at that stage matters have now arrived. The huts ought certainly to have been finished by this time, but they are still far from it, and one's only com fort in the midst of the delay is that those recently constructed haveth eir windows raised nearer the eaves, and that the ceiling, instead of being closed in in the ob jectionable manner formerly pointed out, is left open for ventilation. All that was predicted of those already completed has been fully verified. The men at night fi nd them exceedingly hot and uncomfortable, fo r the windows, being so near the heads of the sleepers, cannot be kept open, and even in the daytime, being so far below the breathing line, it is not easy to keep the inside fresh and sweet. The situation of the camp , however, is so fine in a sanitary point of view, and the troops will be necessarily so much out of doors, that probably little serious inconvenience will be felt from this cause, though it is one which might have readily been avoided. With reference to this ques tion of huts, it seems very doubtful whether it is wise to provide one uniform kind of accommodation for the whole force to be assembled at Aldershott. The object for which the camp there has been established is of course to prepare our soldiers as much as possible to meet the exigencies of actual warfare by the closest ap proximation that can be made to real field service in this peaceful country of ours. Now, an army in the field cannot expect to have Myerses, and Haywards, and Nixons wherever it goes, and common sense points out that the right thing to do at Aldershott is to endeavour by every possible teat and experiment to have such im provements effected upon the old bell tent as may, with out unduly encumbering the march, economise the health of the soldier. Perhaps the best illustration that can be given of the possibility of effecting saving in this important direction is to be found in certain facts con nected with the present war, which, in the midst of more exciting topics, do not yet appear to have attracted the amount of attention which they undoubtedly are en titled to. Wehave it on the authority of a Parliamentary return that the total number of our men killed and wounded in the East up to a recent date was 5,900, and that of these 332 were officers and 5,574 non-commis sioned officers and privates. No similar data exist show ing the number of men who have died or been invalided from sickness, and the proportion in this respect between the upper and lower ranks of the service. It has, how ever, been stated upon high authority.that the mortality of the army from sickness has amounted, during the past winter, to 13,000 lives ; we knowthat in the month of January as many burials took place at Scutari alone as there were deaths at Alma and Inkerman. We know, also, that while the proportion of officers to men struck down in actual combat has been very great, from dis ease it has been very small. What conclusions do these facts justify ? Do they not establish that the effective strength of a military force in active service depen ls much more upon the manner in which its physical wants, such as clothing, housing, feeding, needful rest from labour, and so forth, are attended to than upon any in jury which it is likely to sustain from the enemy ? Now, so much being ascertained, it becomes important to dis criminate the amount of loss due to those different causes—the want of proper shelter, the want of proper food, the want of sufficient clothing, and over-exertion. It is somewhat difficult to do so, because one cause acting upon a mass of human beings will speedily (le velope others that might else have nmained dormant, and, therefore, innocuous. For example, had our troops before Sebastopol during the winter not had too much work imposed upon them, they might have altogether, or at least in a great measure, escaped the suilerings which they had to endure; but, that active and com pelling cause once afoot, observe how a dietary unsuited to the climate superinduced dysentery, and how the bed tent, with its 14 or 15 occupants, littered in the nun!, made that dysentery endemic ; and bow both, with Vie want of adequate clothing, made recovery irnpossib:e. In a mere £ s. d. point of view the British soldier is by far the most expensive animal in the world. The loss t the State in money when he falls or becomes ineffective is something so great as compared with that of other countries that any wasteful use of him falls far more severely upon our resources than on theirs. On the lowest grounds, therefore, we are bound by the stronge?t consid,rations to adopt every improvement that can tend to economise the health of the army, and certainly there is no pert of the military system of equipment which more readily admits of being improved than the tents now used in field service. Would it not have been wise and prudent, therefore, instead of providing huts on one very defective plan for the full complement ot men to be assembled at Aldershot, to invite a little competitive ingenuity upon this point, to trj whether it is not possible to have for the army tents and their appurtenances as complete, portable, and commo dious as those which have been prepared for the use of the Navvy Corps now about to be despatched to the Crimea? While upon the subject of co;i struction at Aldershott, it may be well to mention thL:t a valuable feature in the plan of the barracks, as origi nally designed, will be wanting if that since proposed is carried out. It was intended that these barracks shou!cl consist of twin blocks of buildings, the space between them being covered over, so that men could be drilled there in wet weather. This idea of a sheltered area, wherein the soldier could be perfected in his exercises with the least possible delay, is well worthy ot consider ation ; for, while our military system exacts a precision in the performance of evolutions unknown to any other, our uncertain climate interposes obstacles in the way of attaining it which not only condemn the recruit to a longer and more disagreeable novitiate than is at all necessary, but has a damaging effect upon the popularity of the service. It was explained in our last notice of Aldershott that the huts were to be arranged in two camps, separated nearly a mile from each other—the one on the south side of the Basingstoke Canal, capable of accommodating 12,000 men; the other, on the north side, providing shel ter for 8,000. The south camp is nearly completed, and is already occupied by five regiments of militia, amount ing to a total strength of about 3,000 bayonets. The north cam 2, on the other hand, is very far from being finished, but when ready, will probably, from the im proved character of the huts, be assigned, in part at least, to the Guards and troops of the line destined to share in the evolutions and training at Aldershott. Eventually the regulars will be quartered in the barracks, but when these will be finished, seeing that not a brick has been laid yet, it is hard to tell. A further and more care f u l survey o f th e h ea th satisfies us that it is thorou g hly we ll a d apte d t o t h e purposes to which i t is shortly t o b e app li e d . Th e im mediate sites of the two camps threaten to be very dusty from the extent to which the thin crust of peat has been most unwisely removed, leaving the wind full scope over the light blowing sand underneath. There is also another and a more serious inconvenience felt at present in the scarcity of water ; for the Government has no legal right to take any from the canal, and it is feared that wells must be sunk to a considerable depth before a suffi cient supply can be procured. With these comparatively trifling drawbacks, there is nothing to be urged against the selection of Aldershott for the uses to which it is now about to be applied, and it only remains to be seen how far the practice and training of the troops may be united with a liberal encouragement, in an experimental form, of all the ingenuity and skill of the country, so that our soldiers may participate more largely than they do at present in the benefit of those improvements which are rapidly effecting such changes in everything around us. What we want is, not a com pl e t e organisa tion according to the continental or any other existing model of a standing army, but one with new and com manding features about it, such as may compensate to OW soldiers for their inferiority in mere numbers, and enable them to reduce the issues of war to somewhat of the same certainty which is now recognised in all other human enterprises. No one wholnows anything of the subject will disparage that perfection of drill by which, in a great measure, the British soldier is enabled to perform the most delicate evolutions in the face of an enemy ; but even this, imp ortant as it is, cannot be of greater consequence than a thorough and inti mate knowledge of the weapon with which he fights. What can be expected of troops who have hardly fired a loaded musket until they are brought into action—who handle the Minie hardly conscious of any difference be tween it and old Brown Bess—who could not to-morrow be entrusted with a breach-loading fire-arm (supposing a good one invented) because they would be certain to ex pend their ammunition too fast ? It takes your average sportsman, who has nothing except the pleasurable ex citement to discompose his nerves, a long apprenticeship to become a " dead rifle shot ;" but 50 rounds of ball cartridg e in the year have hitherto been considered suffi cient to qualify the British soldier for one of his most perilous and dreadful duties in the battle-field. We un derstand that rifle p rac ti ce i s to b e ex te n sively carried on at Aldershott, and that two pieces of ground have already b een selected fo r that purpose. This is as i t should be; b u t i t is not enough tl do so, unless, besides, the men are stimulated to become the prospect of spbmtanatia expert marksmen b y benefits, and unless care is taken to supply each inn with an arm the stock of which thoroughly suits him. When our me n are familiar with the rise of their weapon, when they h ave satisfied them selves how ent;ro efficacious ly its ecaciou s d i s upon their perfect self-poset ,, ion, then, and theenPe" have something like an approximat ion of ° to: Y ti e i r e s , h r a e l . s l results which may be expected from an army men, suPPiied with the best and longest ranging rin-rffls that can he made. It is the same with artillery 6. Our gunners gunners do not have half enough practice before they g o r 'en active service, and here, even more . than i n small arms, i'4 ample scope fo r novelt y of invfmtion. There is no reason to bdieve that gunnery has at all rcache,l its limits, but on the contrary ; arid we hope t, se , in use at Alder.-hott new canyon such as the state of th,• siechanical arts enables Englan d alone to produce, and which may re-establish upon a firm and indisputable basis our old supremacy in this branch of the military service. The militia regiments which have thus far arrived at the i camp ar e s t ronger i n num b ers an d more respectable n appearance and discipline than might Lave bean ex pected. Th ey present upon the whole very fair r aw ma terial for th e manufacture of good soldiers, a nd there cao be no doubt th at a month or two of steady drill will work wonders in giving to them a military bearing. His THE SUN LONDON, IV , IONDAY EVENING. JUNE 11, 1855 Royal Highness Prince Albert visited Aldershott on Friday last, and it was at one time believed that the Queen would go there on Saturday. The rumour to that effect, however, proved unfounded, and her Majesty is not now expected until the arrival of the Guards and other regular corps, which will take place in a few days. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Rosamond, 6, paddle steam-sloop, left Spithead yesterday morning for the Black Sea, with the three new mortar boats in tow. The Centaur, 6, paddle-fri gate, Captain Clifford, left Spithead on Saturday morn ing for the Baltic, with supernumerary seamen and ma rines for the flag-ship Duke of Wellington, and let ters, &c.,. for the fleet. The steam-transport East Anglian, No. 162, which arrived on Friday last from the East, with damaged powder and other stores, left on Sa turday for Deptford, to unload. The Rhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master-Commander Belam, sailed from Portsmouth on Friday evening for Woolwich. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, left Portsmouth on Saturday for the eastward with super numeraries. The steam-transport Earl of .A.berdeen ar rived in Portsmouth harbour from London yesterday morning. It is reported in Portsmouth dockyard that on the great screw three-decker Marlborough, 131, being launched (about the middle of August), a mammoth three decker, of 150 guns, is to be built on her slip, to be about 27 feet longer than the Marlborough, for which the slip will have to be lengthened. It is further reported that the timbers for this gigantic ship are being connected, and that her name will be Victoria. The Agincourt, 72, having been found defective, the Implacable, 72, has been commissioned at Plymouth, by Captain Lowe, as a training ship for seamen and boys ; she will be stationed in the Sound. The hired steam transport Gerrnanie, Capt. Neinebeer, No. 207, is fitting at the Devonport Dockyard to convey Land Transport Corps to the Crimea ; and the sailing transport Shooting Star is preparing to convey to Gib raltar the Northampton Militia, now quartered at De vonport. Letters dated April 4, at Valparaiso, have been re ceived at Plymouth from the Trincomalee, 24, Captain W. Houston. She was to leave on the sth, to join the squadron for Kamskatchka. Officers and crew all well. Captain Patey, R.N., late Emigration Officer at Glas gow, has been appointed to that duty at Plymouth. The Swinger mortar vessel arrived at Sheerness from the Thames at 5.45 p.m. on Saturday. The Lizard steam-vessel, Lieutenant Christopher, has left Sheerness for the Downs. The Hearty, gun-boat, left Sheerness for sea at 7 p.m. on Friday last. The Volage, magazine store-ship, left Sheerness at 1.30 p.m. on Saturday, for the Baltic. The Alban, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant William E. Fisher, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday. She has been to the Hague communicating with the authorities at Scheveningen on particular service. She is under orders to proceed to Shoeburyness to convey a detachment of the Royal Artillery thence for shipment in the transport Clarendon for Corfu. Other detach. ments of various companies are to embark for Sheerness in the same vessel. The Glutton, floating battery, Capt. Arthur Cumming, was put out of No. 1 dry dock, at Sheerness, on Satur day night. The blocks will be immediately prepared to receive the Trusty. The rigging of the Glutton has again been altered. The Calliope, 26, Captain Fitzgerald, which arrived at Plymouth on Friday, left England on the 2d of March, 1851, and reached Sydney en the 20th of July. She taen entered upon a service of civilisation, by visiting, with one or two exceptions, every port in the islands of New Zealand, and, after ca ling at Hobart Town, per formed the next year a similar duty among the Feejee Lies?, including the peual settlement of Norfolk Island and then returned to Sydney. Captain Sir Everard Home, who put her in commission, and whose loss was felt by all hands, died Nov. 3, 1853, from a complaint which was increased by devotion to his profession. While in Australia the Calliope lost several of her crew, who were Leolaced in the colony, but from her detachment of Mariner, commanded by Lieut. Leslie, only one deserted. The frigate's passage from Australia to Cape Horn pre sents some remarkable features, especially at the present moment, when a knowledge of 'he shortest and most free route is co valuable. She left Melbourne February 27, and was off Cape Horn March 30. Her commander en deavoured to preserve the parallel of 50 degrees S. Hail fell on the 24th of March, hi lat. 51 6, long. 93 14 W. ; hail and snow on the 23th, in lat. 55, long. 76. Off the Horn they were in 50 S. In this passage they experienced no check ; strong breezes prevailed occasionally, but no inconvenienee from sea or wind, and there would have been no difficulty in heaving to, if necessary, at any time. Excepting four days, au ob serva,tion was taken regularly. Winds chiefly from the westward, varying from S. W. to N.N.W. ; force, 7 to 8 ; and four days only reached 10 or 11 ; weather gene rally overcast and cloudy. The lowest latitude, 5t3 10 8 , was rya le on the evening of the 28th of March. Lowest thermometer, 31 deg., was felt after passing the ilorn, and when near the Falkland Islands. Lieutenant D'Ar,iy, of the surveying vessel Herald, 8, Captain Den uain, on promotion, and Mr. Chevalier, from Rio Janeiro, came home passengers in the Calliope. Her freight from Melbourne is 7,5000 z. of gold, and not 70,5000 z., as telegraphed on Friday. Thelricate Juno, 26, Captain S. G. Fremantle, ar rived at Sydney on the 30th of January, ant, in conse quence of the appearance of smallpox, was put under quarantine, but relieved again previous to the depar ture of the Ca+licme, on the 7th of February. The stoop Fantome, 12, Commander Jo!in 11. Genus, left .`,leibourne on the 221 February, for New ,Zealand. The Calliope has bc!en towed up Harnoaz-?,, where she is to be dismantled and put out of commission. Her crew will be paid down and transferred ti the Sanspareil and udder ships. The Perseverance, new screw steam storeship, Cap tain Henry Harris, proceeded on a trial trip of her ma chinery on Saturday. She left her moorings at Sheer ness at 8 a.m., and was tried running up and down be tween the Nore light-vessel and the Mouse light-vessel. Her average speed was 12. knots per hour, taken by positive distance run against time. Her engines making 61 revolutions, with a pressure of steam of 141 b on the square inch, everything worked very satisfactorily and smooth. She was also tried under canvass, and is re ported under her reduced masts and spars to be all that can be desired. She has been surveyed by the authori ties, and reported fully capable of accommodating 800 troops, in addition to her complement of officers and crew, leaving ample cabin accommodation. The Childers, 12 guns, sailed from Sheerness on Satur day evening. On Wednesday a large foreign bark, lying in Ipswich dock, under Austrian colours, called the " Nina, com manded by Capt. Stepanovich, was seized by the autho rity of the Admiralty. She is of 304 tons burden, and brought a cargo of linseed from Glubook, in the Black Sea, consigned to Messrs. Webber and Co., of Ipswich. She was originally an English vessel, the Ocean having been built in Sunderland, in 1847, but she was purchased by her present owner and sailed under Russian colours, and continued to do so until September, 1853, when she assumed those of Austria. On Friday 11 officers and 366 men of the 54th Regi ment of Foot, accompanied by 28 women and 6i chil dren, arrived at Doncaster from Sunderland, under the command of Major Moffatt. On Saturday morning they left Doncaster at 7 o'clock for London, having been ordered to replace the 94th, who have just left the Tower. The above number of privates included 95 men of the Northumberland Militia, and several small parties of volunteers from other regiments. Most of them were very young men. The head-quarters of the 54th are at present at Gibraltar, where they are waiting for draughts from the depot at home previously to being moved for ward to the Crimea. On Friday morning four companies of the 40th (2d Somersetshire) Foot, numbering 411 men and 10 officers, left Galway for Melbourne, where the head-quarters of the regiment have been located for the past three years. When the troops arrived in Kingstown, they formed into companies, and went on board the transport ship Windsor, 1,100 tons, Captain Selly. The draught goes out in command of Major Neil. One major, one captain, three lieutenants, and 247 men of the Swiss Legion arrived at Dover on Saturday. They are fine young men ; 200 more are expected to ar rive at Dover to-morrow. The huts at Shorncliffe, near Sandgate, which are in tended to accommodate 5,000 men, are nearly com pleted, and it is stated that they will be ready for occupa tion on Wednesday or Thursday next. The whole of the huts are already erected, but the sinking of the wells and the sanitary arrangements for the camp are still in an unfinished state. The casemate barracks at the Castle at Dover overlooking the sea are in progress, and in a short time there will be accommodation there for a large number of troops. [ADVERTISPIENT.I--AMODg the numerous extraordinary cures without Medicine effected by Du Barry's delicious health restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, the following is not the least remarkable :—" 59, Union-street, Third District, New Orleans, March 13, 1855.—Dear Sir, —Since 1838 I had been afflicted with a complaint that neither I nor my physician could qualify. It first began by an excessive thirst, so that I was fain to drink daily from 30 to 40 tumblers of water, the greatest thirst being during the digestive process. A strange feeling above the fundament' followed that unusual thirst. It came on with intolerable itchings, and next as if an edged tool was cutting into it. These symptoms were followed by colic, and finally by a diarrhoea. Originally these paroxysms came on yearly ; after a while, several times in the course of the year; and for some years back almost every month, until at last every week ; so that for seventeen years I have been labouring under an insufferable affliction, deprived of sleep, and so dizzy at times that I could not help myself ; my stomach would fail me, and I thus became a helpless ener vated invalid. At last, on the 15th of June, 1854, I was taken down with an alvine flux and killing pains in the bowels. Often as I went to bed at night I thought I should never see morning. My medical attendant an 1 friend, in whom was all my trust, could do nothing to alleviate my sufferngs, and sent me to one of his colleagues, whose attendance proved as unsuccessful ; all the remedies prescribed failing to afford me any relief. It was at this stage of my disease that, on the sth of September last, I luckily met ono of my friends, who told me that Mr. J. B. Monier had passed through the ramo ordeal, and had been radically cured 113 r Du Barry's Ro valcnta Arabica. Thereupon I immediately began to make use of it; and soon after felt relieved ; and the extritor doina,y change f or the better I have gradually experienced owing to that excellent farina, induces me to b T , ol i im i e eN rni. - e 2,lb t .. h: c ll rr l iaa,m completely cured. —F.

PRESENTATION OF MEDALS TO THE EIGHTIETH REGIMENT. At Portsmouth, on Friday, medals were presented to one of the three regiments who served and suffered in the late Burmese war—the 80th Foot. This regiment lost 347' men in the campaign, which lasted only 20 months. The other two regiments employed in it were the 18th and 50th. The ceremony took place on Southsea Common, just without the Portsmouth lines, and there was a numerous gathering of military and naval officers and residents. The 80th took up a position on the right of the field, and were supported by a battalion of the Rifle Brigade and the three regiments of militia in Portsmouth garrison. The colonel of the 80th, Lieut.-General T. W. Robbins, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, to present the m edals, and proceeded to the ground at 4 o'clock in the after noon from the George Hotel ; he was escorted into the square formed by the troops by Major-General Breton, commanding Portsmouth garrison, and staff, and the presentation commenced about 5 o'clock, accompanied by'ia suitable address from the colonel. The following is a list of the officers and men who received the deco ration : Lieutenant-Colonel G. Hutchinson. Majors—Christie and Ormesby. Captains—Hawkes, Hardinge, and Smith.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sm,—lf the opinions expressed in this letter and the proposition set forth meets your views, perhaps you will do me the favour of inserting it in your paper. The Government aro constantly trying every means in th,ir power to obtain men for the war and very pro perly so, as the struggle is likely to be long and severe. Ist. A loan has been granted to Sardinia, and she in return has sent a farce of 15,000 soldiers to the Crimea. 2d. A Turkish force is taken into our pay, officered by Englishmen. And, lastly, a foreign legion, with its depot at Heli goland, is in course of formation. Tile above steps, I am aware, have been taken not only from the difficulty that has been experienced in getting together anything like a sufficient force to grapple with such an adversary as the Emperor of Russia, but also from the want of trained soldiers, 3d My proposition relates to untrained soldiers—the raw material. It is a well-known fact that the men 1.1:411ally picked up fur military service are the partially employed rural and manufacturing labourers, and their collateral branches. These have proved amply sufficient for the service hitherto. But there is another class above them that can hardly ever be persuaded to enlist for military purposes ; they may he fairly considered the elite of the population of the United Kingdom. In carefully examining the causes that deter a body of men so desirable from entering the service, I am in clined to attribute it to a total want of anything like inducement. At present, to enlist is considered just preferable to starving or turning thief ; and in 99 cases out of 100 some such feeling suggests itself to the recruit. Once a soldier, the denizen of this free country, having sold his life and liberty for a pittance, becomes, as it were, acclimated, like some tropical plants. But from example and custom he becomes contented, and gradu ally likes the sensation of not being obliged to exert his wits during the night to find employment for his muscles in the daytime. . . . Rare, indeed, are the instances of a regularly em ployed labourer becoming a soldier, and rarer still farmers' or tradesmen's sons. lam of opinion, however, that the latter class of persons might be attracted to the service of their country by holding out legitimate and proper inducements. I have neither time nor do I affect the ability of suggesting alterations in the present military system, but to show the possibility of getting together a large body of our best men for the present war. To effect this I propose to form a volunteer corps, to be called the Royal Volunteer Corps, for active service abroad. Such corps, as far as regards its formation and promotion, to be under special regulations : —lst. To have the power of electing its own officers, subject to approval ; but also under the control of the Horse Guards after election. 2d. Va cancies to be filled up in rotation from the corps itself. On being disbanded at the end of the war or at the ex piration of a fixed term of service officers and men to be entitled to the same half-pay pension as the regular army, in addition to which every volunteer should be entitled to a certain quantity of land in the colonies, ac cording to his rank in the corps, from 100 acres up- wards. Suppose the Cape were selected. Then at the end of the war you might interpose an industrial but military class of settlers between the Kaffirs and the rest of the colony. A sort of military social guard of the grand army of civilisation. Tile land orders to be transferable for money, or in case of death in the service then to go to next of kin or legatee. I think where every man could feel that he might become an officer, that honours and rewards were within his reach, and that, if wounded, his recompence was sufficient and honourable, the number that would enter such a corps would astonish people who have not re flected on the subject. I should say 50,000 men in less than three months. Eight military commissioners for England, with salaries of 5001. each, and twice as many assistants ; six for Ire land ; four for Scotland ; ought to be able to look up the men at a small fractional cost as compared to what we are paying for our Germans, who doubtless are good. But I have a prejudice in favour of the British article.

Observe —opposite the York Hotel, Dissentient.—Firstly,—Because it is inconsistent with the most obvious principles of financial policy to endan ger a permanent annual income like that produced by the stamp duty on newspapers, and which nearly amounts to 500,0001., at a timewhen the country is engaged in a formidable war, and when the necessities of the public service have rendered , it necessary to contract a loan of 16,000,0001. during t.he present session. Secondly,—Because the annual amount of revenue thus placed at risk by the ill-devised repeal of the stamp duty on newspapers would, if retained, have been sufficient to provide for the interest of the permanent debt con tracted during the present session, or would have lessened the necessity of imposing increased and oppressive bur dens on the people. Thirdly,—Because the inexpediency of this sacrifice of perma.nentincomebecomes still more apparent at a period like the present, when, in addition to the loan con tracted, Parliament has also been compelled to increase the income-tax, as well as the duties of Customs and Excise levied on articles of the first necessity,-climinish ing the command of the industrious population over the comforts and necessaries of life, checking the progress of our commercial relations, and restricting the foreign markets for our manufactures. Fourthly,—Because such a sacrifice of taxation is the less called for when, as in the present inst a nc e, it is ap plied to a b ranc h o f the revenue increasing steadily in amount from, year to year, and thereby demonstrating that its pressure has not acted injuriously to the public interests. F'fthl.), — R-cause the proposed repeal of the stamp duty ou newspapers, so far from being sought for as a relief to the class of newspaper proprietors whose in terests are primarily involved in the question, is . , on the contrary, earnestly depr,cated by them, as being likely to lead (through an unjust and unchecked piracy) to the depreciation of their capital and the sacrifice of their commercial interests. Sixthly, ~„...,....... no attempt to. protectpthasbee such nmacl parties made by the e Legislature, Sixthly, —Be s e c justice required, from th e s e sev , To anticipated losses,which, if they should ta.e place by the reduction Of the just profits of industry (the result of a frauiluLnt competition), may lessen the motives and the means of newspaper proprietors for pro curing and communicating trustworthy information, thus reacting mischievously upon public and private interests by limiting and defeating the most useful functions of a free and intelligent press. • Seventhly,- , --Beeause the loss of permanent income produced by the present bill cannot but throw obstacles in the way of the future reduction of the war taxes on the restoration of pe'lce, to which the faith of Parliament stands solemnly pledged to the people of the United Kingdom.

THE STANDARD OF MEASURE, A remarkable and highly interesting inquiry has been conducted for the last few days before a select committee of the House of Lords, that has been sitting to consider the provisions of a bill which has already passed the Lower House, and is. entitled "An Act for Legalising and Preserving the restored Standards of Weights and Measures." The inquiry related specifically to the stan dard of measure ; but before explaining the exact ques- tion at issue it may be as well to recall the circumstances under which it has arisen. It will be remembered that the old standards were lost in the fire which destroyed the former Houses of Parliament, and that in consequence, so far back as the 11th of May, 1838, a Royal Commission w as appointed to consider the steps to be taken for their restoration. This commission consisted of a number of scientific men, including among others the Astronomer Royal and Mr. Sheepshanks. By them it was decided to adopt as a standard of measure a standard yard, the dimen sions of which are determined by measuring with the aid of microscopes the distance between two points, indi cated by lines traced on a bar of gun metal. Accord ingly, the bill now before the House of Lords contains a minute description of this standard yard, which, in com pliance with the recommendation of the Royal Commis sion, the Government proposes to legalise. It turns out, however, that while our philosophers and men of science engaged in determining in their way the most perfect means for securing accuracy of measurement, Mr. Whit worth, of Manchester, has, for practical objects of great importance to the nation at large, as well as to Em self individually, been directing his attention to the same subject. He wanted a measuring machine as per fect as he could make it, in order to secure increased accuracy in his system of gauges and generally in the workmanship of those tools for the manufacture of which he enjoys so deserved a celebrity. In order that the importance of such a measuring machine may be fully appreciated it may be well to refer to the illustration afforded by the Baltic fleet. The Admiralty, in the conbtruction of their marine engines, have always wisely insisted upon the use of Whitworth's registered gauges ; so that if a screw or plug or fastening of any kind gives way, a substitute of the same register, and therefore certain to fit, can at once be produced. Hence it follows that one not very large floating mechanic's shop is quite sufficient to meet all the emergencies of the ser vice in the way of damaged machinery for the whole of that mighty steam armada now facing the batteries of Cronstadt. Such a result would be utterly unattainable but for that extraordinary nicety in determining sizes to which Mr. Whitworth has attained. It may be recol lected that at the Exhibition of 1851 Mr. Whitworth showed a machine which measured to the millionth part of an inch, and which Tabled any one to calculate the ex pansion caused in a bar of iron a yard long by touching it lightly with the finger tip. The same arrangement is now adopted by him for the production of standards of mea sure, the principle being that the standard is obtained by measuring the distance between the perfectly flat ends of a solid bar having true surfaces on its sides and ends. His test is that of the touch, and by it he can correct errors in dimensions up to the millionth of an inch, whereas the plan of the Royal Commissioners, de pending on the eight, aided by the microscope, can only correct errors t U the 60,000 th of an inch, Tho most powerful microscope that has yet been made cannot enable the eye to distiuguish more than 60,000 lineal divisions in an inch, an 1, in order to reach this degree of accuracy, the object glass must be so near as greatly to interfere with the practical utility of the standard, But with end measurement an accuracy carried to a point 20 times as great can be combined with <5 perfect facility of application t ) all the purposes for which such a standard is desirable. again, alter devoting so much time and ex pending so much labour on constructing their standard of line measure, the commissioners have 144 t, succeeded in producing two alike when measnred at alike temperature, aad this will be understood when it is remembered that a line once traced on the bar cannot be altered, and that the only means of correcting it if wrong is to change the temperature, so that the metal may expand or contract, until an approximation to accuracy is attained. Hence in the bill a separate temperature is provided for each copy, On the other hand, the .standards of end rneaure ean be copied to any requisite extent, and any difference not smaller than the millionth of an inch will be readily detected. By taking care to make the copy slightly too long its errors in excess riay be gradually removed by repeated corrections, each of which may be measured until a complete fao simile is obtained. But further, in mechanics especially, where extreme delicacy of fitting, and the production of accurate duplicates are of the greatest importance, standards for the foot and inch are even more necessary than those for the yard. For the supply of these the plan of the Royal Commission made no provision ; whereas Mr. Whitworth is ablo to produce them in the same perfection as the yard standard. Finally, it affords a simple method of contrasting, tho merits of the two systems to state that in line measurement the eye has only to pass over the distance actually measured, and when that is very small the limited power of the sight, aided even by the microscope, in distinguishing differ ence operates as a great clkock ; whereas, in the appa ratus employed in end ineauuring the eye has to travel over a distance of alma; 40 niche; to trace the variation of a thousandth of an inch. From all these considera tions it is obvious—and the result is a highly instruc tive one— that a private manufacturer, pursuing steadily that course of experiment on which he well knows the success of his business to &Tend, has been enabled completely to distance the efforts of a body of highly scientific men, conetitrted expressly for the purpose, and working at it with no smell expenditure of the public money during a period of sixteen years. Yet so oddly are suca matters managed in this coun try that the bill for leaalising the standards of weights and measures had pissed the House of Commons and was halfway through the House of Lords before Mr. Whitworth's inventio), publicly exhibited in 1851, re cognised by the Admiralty and the Board of Ordnance, and generally accepted by all the leading machinists of the kingdom, was broight before the notice of the Le gislature. Thanks, however, to the select committee of the House of Loris, and to the personal interest taken in the subject ty Lord Harding°, Earl Granville, and other peers, the plunder which was well-nigh being committed will now, we trust, for all practical purposes, be avoided. Mr. Whitworth was examined before the committee on Friday and on Wednesday. He produced and explained his measuring machine, and so satisfac tory has his evidence been that we understand the committee have come to the decision of recommending that his standard yard measure, constructed of the same length as that of the Royal Commission, be legalised as the " secondary standard," for comparison with local standards of measure through out the country, and that his standard foot and inch have the same sanction attached to them. No doubt this will now be effected by an amendment in the present bill, for if left to a new measure or to an order in Council there is no telling when it may be carried out. To those who have paid any attention to the state of industry in England it is unnecessary to point out the immense advantage which we possess in the extraordinary finish which, in mechanics especially, we impart to our workmanship. This arises from the attention which has been paid to two objects —one the formation of a true plane, the other the power of measurement, carried to a point as near as possible to perfection. There was a time when in the machine shops throughout the country "the big inch," "the middling inch," and "the little inch" were all recognised, and even still there are important branches of manufacture—such as, for example, the gun trade—in which the gauges used hardly deserve the name. To legalise, therefore, the best standards of mea sure that can be obtained is a matter of national import ance, and we rejoice that even at the eleventh hour steps are being taken to avoid in this respect a serious legis lative blunder.

Most pf the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, , yet the demand ruled very inactive, and the quotations had a downward ten dency. Barley was held at full prices, but the business doing in it was trifling. All other grain moved off heavily. Advices from New York to the 30th nit. state that prices of most articles of grain were rather drooping, owing to the increased impplies of wheat from Canada. The continental markets have been less active. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were 'Very moderate . From abroad, we received 23,584 quarters of wheat, 4,581 barley, 26,855 oats, 6,885 beans, 215 peas, 7 tares, 587 linseed, 75 sundry seeds, and 2,527 sacks of flour. Coastwise, and by land carriage, the arrivals of En lish wheat fresh up to our market this 'morning were very mo derate ; yet, as there were from 1,200 to 1,500 quarters of last Monday's Essex supply on offer, the show of samples was rather on the increase. As the attendance of buyers was small, as the advices from nearly all parts of the king dom are very favourable respecting the progress of the crops, and as the weather is remarkably fine, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on. Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. There was a fair show of foreign wheat in fair condition, but the finest qualities were very dull in sale, and (lamp parcels were easier to purchase. Floating cargoes were firm, but the business doing in these was very moderate. The show of both English and foreign barley was by no means extensive. The demand, however, ruled heavy at barely late rates. Malt changed hands slowly on former terms. The arrivals of foreign oats being large, and the supply of green food on the increase, the oat trade was dull, and, in some instances, prices were rather improved. We had a very dull inquiry for beans. In prices, how ever, very little change took place. In peas so little was doing that the quotations were al most nominal. The flour trade was heavy; on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEA.SURE.

There was a full average arrival of beasts fresh up to-day from our own grazing districts, and the condition of most breeds was good. The beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at Friday's decline in the quotations, which ruled 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs. , From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,200 Scots and short horns; from ether parts of England 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 500 horned and polled Scots. We Were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep, the general weight of which was small. There was more doing in sheep than on Friday last, yet prices were from 4d to 6d per 81bs lower than on this day se'n night. The primest old Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs. We had a modtrate demand for lanibs at Friday's de cline. Prices ranged from 5s 4d to Gs 8d per 81bs. The veal trade was inactive, yet very little change took place in the quotations. The top figure was 5s per 81hs. Pigs met adull inquiry on rather lower terms. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed to-day in refer ence to the removal of the trade of this market to Copen hagen-fields. It is assumed that this is the last day for holding a market here, but as yet no official announcement has been made to that effect. We suppose, however, as the banquet will be held on Wednesday, that business will be commenced in the new market on Friday next. Per Blbs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.
