As he estimated very highly the services of that corps, and as he was folly aware of the benefits which-the country had derived from their exer tions; he was anx i ous-that they should be kept up in the highest state of efficiency; and for that purpoie., Government was willing to grant them certain assistance, without de parting from the practice observed in similar cases; With this feeling, Government would.authorize an issue of a year's allowance in advance to all meniberS who should he recor,- nixed •as having entered the corps two months from the pro mulgation of this notice. He (Lot d Sidinout II) should he glad if this isstie were found sufficient; and Werethat thecasehe should take care. that application should he. made without delay at , the War-office, for carrying the object of the meeting into effeet." l —Having read this letter, Lord Middleton again ex pressed his regret-that there was not a more full attendane of the officers of the Corps, in Order that they might declare what its present situation was, and what their specific views, with reference to it, were. • • • Colonel.EvELvs Hunt;, observed„ that the officers havit.g placed the :natter in the hands .of the Lieutenancy, had not deemed it necessary to attend personally. fie then proceeded to state the number of the corps as it waisted at present. The' gross amount, officers and privates, Was 154 men. • Mr. H. StrAIN'ER inquired what was the greatest number of which the corps 1011 consisted ? • Colonel E. Homr,-!!-1n 1814 it comprised 200 and odd men. `Lle`t heii proceeded to state. that two of the Field Offices's were Captains of troops; this hr believed, though a different system was observed in other regiments, 11..41 heel) the case in this corps from the beginning. The deficiency at presemt consisted of two (Ina rter-masteis, one trumpeter, and 63 privates, malt ing a total of 411% 'The expences of the regiment had exceeded the allowance frotn Government during the last, three years— a circumstance which was to he'attributa to the change that had talten place in tile numbers of the corps. The whole of the present members had als6 been newly clothed and ac coutred, which formed a very considerable item of extra ex penditure. The out-standing.hills at present were those due to the clothier, the helmet-maker, and the saddler, viz., clothier, 4531., helmet.maker, 3141., and saddler, 3811., on account of which there had .heen paid to them 2001. leaving a balance of upwards of 8001. • . . . Mr. E-. SumNEii inquired by whose order *ere the drafts'on the War-tiffice: dralen ? Colonel E. HUME answered, that he was the responsible person. Mr. H. St/Aro:a—Have all the arrears occurred within the three last years ? Colonel E. HUME.—They have. Mr. 13. SUMNFR.—Was there any nrrear up to that time? Col. E. !- 1E answered, that when he took the command of the reginient there was an arrear. Mr. SUMSER,- , --At the last meeting it was stated by Sir T. Tur ton that 30s. of the money 'paid by Government to each man went to the Staff: what was the meaning of that? Col. E. HumE:—.That namey is paid to the Sedeants and Trumpeters. A member of the corps inquired whether tlicre was not a fund in being that belonged exclusively to time corps ? Col. - E. HO mF..wac not aware of such a fond. _ „.... The inquirer observed, that there was the sum of 6331. standing jn t he 3 per Cent. imperials for the use of the Bo rough Company. - - Another member of the corps said, that as the sum stated was appropriated to the service of a pat ticular company, the Colonel could not be called on to give tut account of it. Mr. H. ;t;:.i N f!at was the amoulit of the origiaal sub!! scription for this corti? Cu!onel:-1 cannot say. Mr. H. SuNINE.II.—It 'as stated on a former occasion, that you were in the habit of drawing from the Subscription Fund, while it remained, for any excess that accrue ; but nu account has been rendered of the precise applitAtion of that The Colonel observed. that the regimental l accounts would fully answer that question. Mr. H. SUMNER .said, it was extremely distressing that there were none of the corps present to give information on a variety of points connected is lilt the regiment. He was of opinion that there should be many officers- present, in order to answer every necessary question that might arise, he fore an attempt was made to raise a Fond by Subscription. The HIGII SHERIFF oto.erred, that all that bad • hitherto occurred was mere matter of conversation. - lithe meeting in tended to proceed to business regularly, something in the shape of a motion or resolotion must he laid before theta. SUm Nett Said-he knew the present proceeding was not regular; but he-felt that no time had been lost since they had received sonic information,. from the Hon. Colottel, - and from the individual who had adverted to the existence of , a fund appertaining to • the .Borough Troop.' I-le regretted,, howevet, that there was such a paucity of information; . and he trusted that he should not at a future time be compelled to express the same regret. It appeared that there was a con siderable fund hohnigtug to one tiocp of the regiment ; which circumstance ought, he conceived, to present them ft-Om-add ing to the general burdeo." Ile understood, that, at a former meeting, -Sir 'l'. Turton had said, that the mete money 'pan of,the question was of infinitely less importance than the toiling the corps commanded by Gentlemen of large property and of great. influence iu tile - county. His view of the sub ject was the same. If the corps were not commanded by per sons 'of property, it no longer partook of t he. spirit in - which such associations were originally formed:- The object of esta blishing yeomanry corps was, to send forth individuals of pro perty, to'nieet; to prevent, or to repel attack upon property. This was the spirit in which such bodies were, and ought lobe, formed ; and any dr wut tat. from it . was fraught with great mis chief. He had asked Ste 'l'.ll'nrton what seas the expectation of. the corps with respect to the appointment of officers in the va cant-troops ; and he understood that promotion always - wept by seniority in the tegiment. Now, to a man of property this would not be very in)iiting. Stianner'o .nephew had been :a fJornet in the corps fur 17 years. If what'had taken place at time Court of Lieutenancy hail been discussed by the members of-the corps, and some of the officers had at tended to express what the feelings of the geticral body were, it would have done more than any thing rise possibly could in leading the meeting to decide whether the e.irps should be supported, or whether it should be suffered to (Ili: is natural death. HOME entered into a brief review of the mode in which preferment was obtained in the corps, and pointed out the number of vacancies which the resignation. of . offieers would shortly o ccasion.

Mr NCH: said, that so far as he knew the Con4itu rton of (011e.r Yeotimory Corps (and the 'same principle was observed in Militia Reriments), the idea of propel ty always sopeiseded that of :length of service in' the appointment of eflicers. !Inns principle were acted- ctrl here, there would be some protrability 'uf re-establishing the corps, but not otherwise.

Yesterday, pursuant to public Requisition, n 2 Meeting was held at the Spread Eagle Inn, Ep som, for the purpose of taking. into consideration, the present state of the Surrey Yeomanry Cavalry, and of adopting the best means of rendering that Corps perfectly efficient. Soon after one o'clock the HIGH SHERIFF took the Chair. He Mime-. diately proceeded to state to the Gentlemen pre- sent the business for which they were - assembled, It would, he observed, be only necessary for hint to have the Requisition read—after which, he had no doubt, some . Gentleman would come:forward and state his 'sentiments on the snbject to which it adverted. The Requisition ;vaS then read. It appeared to emanate from the proceedingsof.a Court of Lieutenancy, which had been held on the 9th of August last, at which the situation of the Surrey Corps of Yeomanry had been taken into consideration. The 'Resolution agreed to at the Meeting , of th'e' Lieutenancy, after passing . a high eulogium on the Corps for its various ser -vices, proceeded to set forth, 44 that it was expe dient that it should be maintained, at least to the extent of its present 'establishment ; that there had been, for some time paSt, a deficiency of pri vates in the regiment; and that -a debt had ac crued, -onsiderably beyond what the payment received from,Government amounted to." The Resolution concluded with recommending :tha. means should be devised for liquidating this debt, and for restoring:the Corps to a certain tie trree_ of, effitieticy, without- calling on the e Mem bers to submit to any further . burden--a circum stance against which their previous personal ser vices owcrlit to: protect 'them : thprefoi'e it was deemed necessary! that .the whole subject should be ',id before a General Mcoing of the County. Lord M ipnt.tiioN (t he Loot- Lient et:ant of the Coon ,;4,1; it would dte.expectetl of hint that hr- should state to the meeting what the cir uriot. ices were in which the whole'of 'this business had origioated. The meeting was, he regretted to say, in point of ntnnherts; very difierent from•what he expected. The wheels of the corps, who must ktinw, an,l wh o we ce hest able to lay before the co;lnt y At large a statement,of the situa tion of the corps, wer e f or th e m os t pa r t Übs e nt. , ' No mei tt is t , however, had been left not' ied to procure a_full:attendance. In the first hist:lke, a meeting' of the Lieutenancy was htild. in consequence 'of • which a ,ecetid meeting teek place, Iron) which the resolu;ion jest read had emanated. To conseunenee of tin-se proceedings he Lid been desirous to ;Iscertain irton the Secretary of state whether a'nv flirt her .tllowance 'would he wady by Gove h rnment in soe - rt of t!ie corps. tle had Written to Lord Sidmouth on the .sobject, and is answ er , h e had received the following eret tt Letter from Lord Sidmonth was read. It was dated Whitehall, :Aticrust SO; 18'20, and was lii Sohstanye as foiloWsl Lord Sichnuuth had Irten honoured with the Letter of the SIR HOME RIGGS POPIIAM. Sir lIOME POPHAM, whose death we announced '• yesterday, had but recently .returned from hs command on the Jamaica station, where he lost ' hiS daughter and his health. , Few men had seen more service, or have displayed more talent. He rose- entirely by his oWn merits. This gallant' Ofifcer was born in Ireland about the year 1769- His father had a numerous family, and his means being slender, the boys were obliged to seek their fortune in different quarters of the globe: SirE., who - was,a younger son,entered the British Navy as a Midshipman. During the American- war he . attained:the rank of Lieutenant. On the return .. of peace he visited his eldest brother, Major, now General Popham, in India, and- havin4 evinced a genius for nautical topography, he was appointed, at the special recommendation of , Lord Cornwallis, one of a Committee sent in the , year ,1788 H to survey New Harbour, in the river Ifoogly. , lie also appea'rs in . to have commanded a. country ship. Ile 'was afterwards appointed to .the command of the Etrusco, an Imperial' East Indiaman, Which was seized, on . her return from. Bengal to 0:-.:tend, by an English . frigate as a prize, on the ground that a considerable portion of the property on board belonged to British subjects.----The FrcriCh Re volution soon afforded an Opportunity of ;wain restoring., him to his 'prOfession and opening a new road to tune mid fortune.
