On Friday night a publie meeting of the medical students of the metropolitan hospitals, which was also attended by delegates from the principal medical schools in the United Kingdom, and countenanced by the pre sence of the leading practitioners, was held in St. Mar tin's Hall, Long-acre, for the purpose of taking measures to secure the amelioration of the present position of assistant surgeons in the navy. The large hall was crowded to excess. Mr. John Brady, M.P., was called to the chair. Communications, condemnatory of the Admiralty re gulations, were read from Edinburgh, Liverpool, Dub lin, Cork, .Canterbury, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Aberdeen, and other places of medical education. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said, that when he saw himself surrounded by members of the profession who were known throughout the world, he regretted that some of them had not been called en to preside over the meeting. The difficulty which he felt in occupying that position in their presence was diminished when he considered the goodness of the cause which had brought them together—one. which every man who loved his profession ought to rally round and support. Therefore it was that he had accepted the honour which they had conferred on him, and he was there heart and hand to join them in every step they might take to raise the dignity of their profession. The question they had come to consider was the injustice that had been long heaped on the assistant surgeons in the navy ; but that was not all that they had to complain of. They had also to complain that, notwithstanding the ad vances which their p ro f ess i on had made dur i ng the last 20 years, its members h a d not risen to a more e l eva t e d social position in the c ountry, ' an ev i l w hi c h h e at tributed to want of unity of action and of thought swung themselves. Mr. Husband, of Middlesex Hospital, proposed the first resolution, to the effect that the meeting, in com mon with the nation at large, viewed with deep and un feigned regret the ill success which bad attended the many efforts Made by members of Parliament and the public press to ameliorate the condition of the naval as sistant-surgeons. It anticipated with anxiety aid alarm h a i i e d h , and were entered dero itsot derogatory earnest to th p e r ni ot e e d st ic again st a pinstni. the unnecessary loss of life whi c h wou ld ensue s h ou ld an w action occur while the navy was so i neff i c i ent l y supp li e d and freswith sio regulation s surgi cal n detrimental to the efficiency of the naval naval aseistant•sur geon was one he considered of degradati on an d anoma ly, service. The present position of the alike inconsistent with his age, his rank, and his educa tion. Arrived at manhood, they had to associate with boys ' • gentlemen, they were denied asso c i a t e w i t h th e i r equals holding the commission of officers, they were held up to the laughter and contempt of subordinates. It was supposed that they should continue the prosecu tion of their medical studies, but they were denied the retirement of a cabin—an accommodation which was afforded to the naval instructor, to the carpenter, and to the boatswain, all of whom , they were aware, were their inferiors in rank. When they, a few ; years since, asked for the favour of a separate cabin, they were told that there was no room for the construction done. It, however, happened that three bad been since that time constructed, and given to inferior offieers—and all this in contravention of orders in council and of the votes of the House of Commons. Dr. Ilturiken, University Hospital, seconded the re solution, and said that the Admiralty were now reaping the fruits of their injustice to the naval assistant-sur geons, as they were not in time of war able to supply the service with a number of medical officers sufficient for a peace establishment. There were now 200 vacan cies in the list of the naval assistant surgeons, and the Admiralty proposed to fill them up by the appointment of those who were legally and absolutely unfit for the performance of the duties which it was proposed to im pose on them. (Cries of slianic,) The resolution was u nanimously adopt e d. Mr. RamsDALE, Bartholomew's; in a long speech, com pared the extent of the education received by the mem bers of the niedical profession with the scant modicum of information reliti rod to be possessed by the marine officers who on rhiphosrd ranked'above them ; pointed Out how painful it would be to the feelings of an assis tant-surgeon belono ' in!,. to a man-of-war, which might have troops on board, to see the army assistant surgeon, who might perhaps have been his fellow-student, associ ating with the ward-room officers which he had to keep company with the young midshipmen in the cockpit, and concluded by moving a resolution expressive of the opinion of the meeting :—" That the present Admiralty regulations were such as to exclude efficient members of the medical profession from the naval service, and that it pledged itself to adopt the most earnest and ener getic measures to obtain redress of the existing grier few, if anus, fi rmly co pvinecd that in the meantime ---- - , 1 , , (7' . , ...., _ ~ , •-, , • 7Z Z 6( - (-I>.) el ' - 7_ - e- _/ 2 / _4"__--i' - ' . . : , ,• . / -.. / ,) ~,,. ...,........,. . ... • - ... .... .... , _ . . --. w ~ k. .V.l- 1 7 - . ; , ,\.l, - • "...: 44 t . ..... - ---4. . . i ~.., ~ .. ....,,. , ... ..\:. 4'.. i . / <`• •, tt •-,..,; • /N 4,3-v , • , , ~i , '- • o p* -, A Vo#44' ~ , 1...-4 • i ~.. . ..--0,,,. *l7 . ft , __ /A.'

Even Punch bad given them a lift. Mr. BEAUMONT, of Hull, supported ,the resolution, as he considered the present movement an act of justice to themselves and a benefit to the nation.

Ile concluded .by moving the next resolution, to the effect—" That the acceptance of the appointments pro posedqpnunael ifiree t df o o - mr e ra : b e wy n h t s p r b o y v theidin gAdmirsubstitutesalty au a f t r t e t n h d e to wantp o s o t f ich had been produced by the evils of the present system ; and that tke meeting, therefore, strongly deprecated the proposal, and earnestly called upon the students of the United Kingdom to sacrifice, on public grounds, any private adiantages which it might seem to offer ;" which, having been seconded by Mr. Down, of London, was unanimously agreed to. Several other gentlemen, including Mr. Dod, St. Thomas's ;•Mr. Thomas, Charing-cross ; Mr. Holmes, St. George's ; Mr. Ga,scoigne, St. Mary's ; Mr. Duffin, King's College ; and Mr. Hepworth, of Manchester, subsequently addressed the meeting, which appointed a deputation to wait on the Admiralty with an exposition of their grievances, appealed in an address to the prin cipal medical corporations for co-operation, and agreed to a petition for presentation to Parliament. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. . THE MOVEMENT AGAINST THE ARIS TOCRACY PUT DOWN BY THE CHARTISTS. On Friday night a public meeting was held in the large room at the. London Tavern, to inaugurate the National and Constitutional 'Association, for the pur pose of putting au end to the present oligarchical system, by which a few aristocratic families monopolise the leading offices of State, Dr. James Taylor occupied the chair, supported by Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P. and Mr. Mur r ough, M.P., a nd other gentlemen of Liberal politics. Mr. ERNEST JONES, the well-known chartist leader surrounded by a knot of his frie n d s , occup i e d one en d of the platform, while a tall policeman stood conspicuous at the other, as if intended to act as a practical hint to intrusive speakers. The room was about two-thirds full. Mr. A. B. RICHARDS, secretary, read letters from se veral gentlemen, including Mr. Layard, who was too much occupied by other duties to attend ; Sir De Lacy Evans, who gave his good wishes 'to the objects of the meeting, but thought it would not become him to attend on account of the part he had taken in the operations of the war ; and Sir J. V. Shelley, who intimated the pro bability of his attendance. The SECRETARY then read an address to the nation, issued by the council of the newassociation, denunciatory of aristocratic misrule, which was generally well received, but provoked a tremendous storm of disapprobation when it asserted that " there are practical men in every class, but especially in the middle class ;" and the chairman and secretary found it nece.sary to qualify the assertion by saying it included all classes, before the working men, of whom the meeting principally consisted desisted from their protest. The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting, strongly enforcing the necessity of a decisive effort, at the present crisis, upon the part of the masses to snatch the reins of government from the hands of an incom petent aristooracy, an end for the attainment of which the formation of a national association was necessary. Mr. J. BEALE, in a long and able speech, moved the following as the first resolution " That, the perilous state of public affairs and the manifest hopelessness of improvement under the present oligarchial system, which hai usurped the functions of government, monopolised pace and privilege, and brought disgta,ce and disaster upon the country, make it iticunibent on the people to unite, in order to prevent a continuation.af the existing calamitous system, as well for the safety of the nation rig for the honour of the British Crown ; that an association Ip-,.therefore, now formed ; and be called The National and Constitutional Association.' " Mr. NICIIOLAY (of Marylebone) . seconded the resolu tion, arguing that the state of feeling throughout the country wag favourable to the formation of the associa tion, or even demanded it. Mr. A. PELLITT then rose, according to the pro gramme, to t.upport the mytion ' • but Mr. DICKEY, a well-known Chartist, came forward from one end of the platf irm, and was met by a gentle man advancing from the other end, intent upon moving an amendment. After some little delay, the meeting decided to hear Mr. Pellatt, who proceeded to invoke union as the best means of beating the common foe—bribery, corruption, and hal representation. What was wanted was a change from the present composition of the House of Commons to a system by which the people should be represented by men like the Ironsides of Cromwell. (Cheers, and cries of "And Wet Tyler.") Mr. Pellatt, after a few further remarks of a general nature, concluded by ad vising his hearers to look well to the elections, as they would never be well represented until members were returned free of expense. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DICKEY and the gentleman anxious to move an amendment again came forward, but the chairman ap pesled to the meeting to hear Mr. Murrough in prefer ence, as he was anxious to return at oi.ce to the House of Commons. The great majority of the meeting, how ever, denounced this as unfair, and Mr. Murrough was compelled, reluctantly, to postpone his speech. The chairman then called upon the gentle:ea-1 anxious to move the amendment, who announced himself as G. HARRISON, a democrat of 30 years' standing, and the great Chartist of Nottingham. (Cheers.) It had been said by a preceding speaker that the composition of the House of Commons was oligarchical, while in fact it was not oligarchical, but middle-class, and the present movement was only intended to put the Government of the country into middle-class hands, and give them a share in the distribution and enjoyment of place and pension. (Cheers.) The resolution did not affect the evils which it asserted to exist; since it neither alluded to the ballot nor the extension of the suffrage, without the enactment of which as law there could be no hope for the people. The speaker then moved an amendment in favour of the adoption of a'petition (to be signed by the chairman) in favour of the People's Charter. (Cheers.) A contest of precedence followed between Mr. Dickey and Mr. E. Jones, ending in favour of the latter, who seconded the amendment, as a humble representative of the unrepresented sons of labour. Having no faith in the new association, he advised the working classes to form their own associations, - and look after their own interests. They talked of abolishing aristocratic monopoly of place, and he tad no doubt they desired it, for he ima gined there were a lot of hungry Prime Ministers upon the platform. (Cheers.) They talked of a crusade against the Duke of Devonshire, and he was ready to join in suohia crusade, but not in favour of the Dukes of Devil's dust and Shoddy. (Cheers.) Then the council, in their resolutions, denounced secret diplomacy, while their own means and machinery were of a secret nature, and it was quite evident that the resolutions were humbug. (Cheers.) It has been said by a well-known newspaper that the Chartist cry was dead ; but ho gave an answer to this by asserting that no political movement could be started for which the working-classes would exert them selves unless it was for the People's Charter. (Loud cheers.) A good deal of confusion followed, several individuals expressing their desire to speak. The Chairman, after protesting against the interfer ence of the plans of the council, put the amendment, which was carried by an overwhelming majority, and three hearty cheers were given for the People's Charter. The Chairman said the formation of the association had been negatived by the meeting, but the council would still persevere, and make another appeal to the public. The proceedings then terminated abr u ptly, a vo te of thanks to the chairman being carried, on the motion of Mr. E. Jones. THE CONVICT MuNnoE.--Just before the bolt was withdrawn, the chaplain, taking hold of Munroe's hand, asked if he had anything more to add to his confe s sion. The prisoner replied that he bad not : b:tweeu God and himself all that he had stated was true. He said lie sc. knowle-Iged the justice of his punishment, and that he deserved to die. He then grasped the chaplain's hand convulsively and wished him good bye. It may not be worth inentionnw, but it is a fact that Caleiaft, who it will be allowed has had experience in such wafters, ex pressed his firm belief that the couchinned man spoke the truth in his cot:fission. This is certainly the con viction of all who have_etww in contact with Munr since his uondonwit;on. He is looked upon as having been the victim of some baser villain. WhiLlecteca _ _ _ THE RUSSIAN MEDAL.-0a the bo,liei of numbers of the Russian soldiers who recently fell before Euvatoria were found the silver medal of the decoration of St. George. On one side is engraven the Russian eagle with two heads, holding in its talons the terrestrial globe and the sceptre of the sovereign ; over the eazle is the imperial crown of Russia, surrounded by the illu minated dove, and round these figures is the following motto in the Russian language—" Fall on your knees idolaters, for God is with us." On the other side of the medal is the following motto, also in Ru , sian- ." For the submission of Hungary and Transylvania," which sufficiently indicates its origin. By order. T. B. CHAPPELL, Clerk.

A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Scutari Barracks at five minutes past 3 o'clock p.m. on the 28th February. Many that were able rushed out into the square, in dread of the ricketty budding falling about their heads, or breaking their limbs It lasted about five or six seconds.

DOWN WITH THE TIMES. Front the Examiner. " Put out the light—and then'." Some years ago the cry was that the power of the Crown had increased, was increasing,a and ought to be diminished. It is held now in eel tain quarters, high and low, that the power of the pnass has increased, is inereas iii, and ought to be diminished. The chief offender in this excess being the Times, it is proposed, at the parti cular desire of several persons of Manchester, to take measures to compass the destruction of the said Times, or at least to cripple it very considerably. But why do this in a roundabout way, involving in the injury other properties that are not obnoxious either to Manchester or Downing-street ? Why not set about the object frankly, fairly, and directly ! Why not bring in a bill of pains and penalties, setting forth the exorbitancy of the power of the Times, and that no Ministry is safe under it, and enacting what may be thought calculated to render it less formidable ? There are various means for this object besides those borrowed by Mr. Gladstone from friend Bright. The stamp of the Times might be doubled, or it might be denied transmission through the post, or it might be forbidden to circulate more than a cer tain number of copies. There have been restrictions on the issues of the Bank, and why not on the Times, on the same score of State necessity ! What better model is there of strengthenin g the Government than to weaken the Times, which is over it ? If after this deterring exam ple any paper aspires to the power of the Times, the proprietors will know what they have to expect, for a bill may be brought in to deal with the offender in the same summary way. All that we contend for is the limitation of the enactment to the real aim. Charles Lamb tells us of a sage people who burnt down a house whenever they wanted to roast a Pig. We deprecate setting Ire to the entire press for the solo and separate purpose of the Times brown. Put ,our con temporary on the spit and welcome, provided you span, those who do net sin in the same way by overtopping the Governmen+s en the one hand and controllincr agita tors on the other. Make an example of the ringleader. Hang him up, or put him to the reformation of penal servitude—nay, servitude the worst of all, if you will, servitude Ministerial—anything rather than derange a whole body in order to disable one member, however large and potent. Once upon a time, as Rabelais prefaces, when beasts could speak, it was thought a most meritorious action to slay a giant ; and there is prevalent the same opinion now as to the giant of the press, 'which is deemed too big to be permitted to live, especially with the prospect of growing still bigger. There is not room enough in this broad land for both Government and the Times, and as we must have a Government;however bad, we must not have a Times, however good.: Haman cannot suffer Mordecai in the gate. An old fable tells us of an ill-favoured youth so displeased with Lis looking-glass that he the ground and shivered it to a hundred fraor seeing his ugly, features in each of the broil 'who was lied it to ents, but n bits he as worse, be single Leh is the t in com e giant is ivo with found he hai made the matter a hundred timi and bitterly lamented that he had changed f unflattering reflection for the multiplied. Su eact illustration of what Government is abou paising small change for the 7irnes. To kill th all very fine, but it is not always pleasant to 1 dwarfs. And cost ought to be considered when we are carrying on the expenditure with vigour, whatever may be the case with the war. Is it good thrift to burn down a house producing nearly half a million a year in order to roast your pig ? Surely the Times can be well dressed at a less cost than this. Why, if it were put down, directly abolished by Act of Parliament, the loss to the revenue would not much exceed 50,0001. a year, whereas the circuitous process proposed for the same end entails a sacrifice of more than eight or nine times that amount Of all the modes of curing the peccant journal of its plethora of strength, the most, effective would be to bring it under Government, instead of its present place, over Government, and to put a Minister in the management of it. That arrangement would rat tle it down to the ground more quickly and completely than any other that can be devised. It would'then re main to be seen whether Government could get on with the rest of the press, or whether the press is really so much ahead of the Government in ability and in its hold on the public confidence, that measures for abating its efficieucj and influence are indispensable to the credit, comfort, and repose of any and every Administration. If the alternative be a less able press in default of an abler Government, we must all submit to our fate, and give place to the American press, which is to minister to, or, in the common phrase, to do for, the English monarchy. The superiority, of which there is now such jealousy, impatience, and hate, will then be at an end certainly; but with journals level to ttae meanest capacity may come something. not a jot less troublesome than the superiority got rid of, and Government may find after all that it has not inend-q1 its strength by weakening public intelligence without weakening public passions. The Chancellor of the Exehe 'tier has found it impossi ble to adhere to his predee,‘sior'e plan for revoltonizing, the press and turning it bottom upwards, and he hat an nounced his intention of proposing other resolutions. Acting upon his own better judgment, we are sure that Sir Cornewal Lewis would drop that scheme altogether, and leave well alone. There are things that cannot be well done, because of the wrong inherent in them. The new resolutions, we too much fear, will be like the tools in the Crimea, which have this peculiarity, that the new are as bad as the old, and that one hatchet which will not cut is replaced with another with the same infirmity, and that one pickaxe that breaks off at the handle upon the first provocation is replaced by another winch strikes work in precisely the same abrupt fashion. There is this difference, however, that the resolutions are likely to cut only what it may be undesirable to cut, as the worst tool, which may be too blunt to hew a block of wood, may be thoroughly efficient for the purpose of killing a man. THE DAY -OF HUMILIATION. (From the Examiner.) We certainly are a people much given to the observ ance of precedents. We lose an army, and precedent censoles us ; it always happens in the first campaign. Why does it always happen? we are strongly disposed to ask ; but we are told there is no precedent for such an inquiry. We nominate unproved men to important employments, we retain proved inefficient men in high offices, and ample precedent justifies the proceeding. And now, according to precedent, we are to pray and fast on Wednesday next. We are informed, indeed, that this 21st of March is not to be a fast-day. We have abandoned that Popish superstition—by no means let us fast. Well, to those who are in easy circumstances this may be a gra cious dispensation. Our statesmen who have bungled, and who now bid us all humble ourselves to depre cate the consequences of their bungling—they cer tainly will not fast. The 21st of March will be to them as other days, excepting only that it will be a holi day. No office, no committee, no House of Commons ; only attendance at church in the morning to hear Mr. Melville, and, that Popish superstitions may not be countenanced in high places, dinner as usual iu the evening. But there are some in this country upon whom that law is enforced which says—" He that will not work, neither shall he eat." There are some to whom daily labour is daily bread, and to whom a corn , mend to be idle is, indeed, a command to fast. This seems hard. - If Ministers, or even if a member of Par liament, were to be mulcted a day's pay, the inconve nience would not be great—the injustice poz-baps ban less. But these sheep—what have they done ? Their part was to pay taxes, and they have paid them ; was to send forth soldiers, and they have sent them. Their work, one would say, has not been done ill or grudgingly. A severe winter has combined with the war to increase suffering ; an unusually long frost has combined with a dull trade to diminish employment, and so multiply hardship ; and what religion is that which, when all this has been so patiently and bravely borne, steps in and says—" Humble yourselves ; give up another day's work, another day's shopkeeping, another day's wages, another day's profits ; for this will be pleasing in the sight of Heaven, this will prove that the nation is lowly and penitent, this will perhaps avert some misfortune, perhaps win some favour for us —eves the taking of Sebastopol ?" What religion, we repeat, is this that presses thus hardly a on the poor, while it makes dull the conscience of the dl rich ? A day of humiliation I Surely we are already sorely humbled. What summons will stir in us such depths of shame as the letters from the Crimea ? The lines at Sebastopol—the harbour of Balaklava—the graves of Scutari—a military system tried and found wanting, a military reputation jeopardized in the sight of Europe, a national prestige departing from us—if the thought of these things do not humble us, would a whole month of fast-days avail to do it ? A year ago we fasted and prayed by precedent ; we went to church ; wd heard sermons ; but we came away, and we went en as usual writing, and reading, and talking of the glorious anny, our unequalled fleets, and the magnificent spec tacle which we presented to the nations. Alas it the Privy Council Day of Humiliationetuldt i:anted not w to keep us from boasting then, who will say ti ut:Lko us humble now ? A Day of Prayer—iti s a solemn phrase, no t t o b e sp.iken of irreverently ; but of all thins reverence is most opp"sed to cant. We have starved an army — therefore let us fast ; we have found our vaunted eye tem worthless—therefore let us humble ourselves ; we have taken all measures to insure di,aster, and disaster has attended our efforts—the refuse let us pray ! But it is net teverence to be cowardly, amid it is not piety to lie superstitious. Laboretre eat orare. The gods help those who help themselves ; but never did the gods lend a pitying ear to those who in the hour of peril, when the ship was drifting towards breakers, left the ropes and betook themselves to easy prayers. Our Puritan ances tors fought with sword in ono hand and Bible in the other ; but the Bible was not iu the wrong hand. The Great Apostle did not desire the sailors of a disabled ship to fast, but to eat ; nor was it till those resources of precaution had been taken which eventually saved the vessel that he deemed it seemly or pious to call upon the ship's company to pray. OUR CA TALRY ()moms (Peon the Daily Nees. of thiB da3,4) For nearly forty years the English cavalry has been officered exclusively by wealthy men. How ever well qualified for that branch of the service, an individual who had not a tolerably large private fortune would have been considered insane if he had asked for a commission in the Dragoons. The cornetcy, or first commission, in all mounted corps, save the Life Guards and Blues, costs 840/. ; the lieutenancy can never be obtained for less than 1,7001. or 1 , 800/ . ; th e usua l sum pa id f or a t roop (or capt a i ncy ) is from 5,5001. to 7,000/. ; for a ma jority, 8,00 0 1 . to 9,0001. ; an d from 10 , 000/ . to 12,0001. for the command of a corps. In all ex changes from infantry to cavalry larger sums in proportion are given; and it is commonly reported in military circles th a t two noble lords, lately re turned from the Crimea, did, several years ago, in I order to obtain their rank of lieutenant-colonels of cavalry quickly, sink sums of 15,000/. and 20,000/. I respectively. When we add to this the fact that the pay of each officer in the commissioned ranks of cavalry does not give him five per cent. for the money he has spent on promotion—that the style of living in every regiment is most expensive, not to say extravagant— that the uniforms, horse accoutrements, &c., cost very large sums—that it is an acknowledged fact that no officer can live in any of our cavalry regiments with less than from ' 400/. to 6001. a year—when all these circumstances are taken into consideration, it will be allowed that a cavalry commission is not to be thought of by a pcor man. No; according to the English militarycresd, and according to the custom which has reigned supreme since the termination of the last war, the regiments of Dragoons, Dragoon Guards, Light Dragoons, Lancers, and Hussars, are intended solely as colleges where rich young men can pass away pleasantly the six or seven years which inter vene between their leaving public schools and set tling down to marry, or lock after the paternal acres. Every cavalry corps has an adjutant and a riding-master, men who, in most cases, have risen from the ranks. Are not these two officers enough to help the colonel to look after the regiment ? Of course they are. What need therefore of captains and subalterns—who have paid large sums for their commissions—worrying themselves about discipline or drill ? Should the commanding officer not give too much trouble, matters go on pleasantly enough. The adjutant looks after the field-days and the con duct of the men, the riding-master after his own department, the veterinary surgeon takes care of the health of the horses, the do c to r o f th a t o f th e men. The captains andi subalterns hunt, dress, shoot, go on leave, and from first to last duty is made as easy as possible to all parties. But should the colonel be such a misguided individual as to expect all the officers under him to know their work, and require them to perform the same, mat ters assume a very different aspect. The regiment gets a bad name in the military market ; commis sions don't sell so high as they do in more favoured corps ; officers exchange and sell out continually, giving money to go into pleasanter regiments, and other gentlemen are brought in, 'only again to ex change or retire from the service. Let us see how this system works in the army—• let us test the results of having our cavalry f or forty years in the h an d s of excusively rich and aristocratic officers. Against the personal bravery of no portion of the English army can a word be said. But is courage the only requisite in a soldier ? Certainly not— least of all in a cavalry officer. It is said, that two years' training are requisite to make a perfect dragoon of a private recruit ; how much more must the careful study of his profession be requi site to qualify properly him who has to lead the troop or squadron ? The care of horses, and. how to look after them in the field ; the weight the dragoons ride, and the best way of taking off part of that weight ; the feeding, grooming, and shoeing of horses, under all pos sible circumstances ; the most effectual manner of protecting them against the weather when deprived of shelter—all these are but a few items of what ought to form the study of young men for at least a couple of years before they enter the service as cavalry officers. Add to the foregoing the know ledge required by every dragoon officer when once mounted and before the enemy—the how and the when to attack, the best manlier of forming reserve or supporting lines, the most effectual way of fol lowing up a retreating enemy, or withdrawing without loss fro m one too strong to be Attacked with any hope of success—and some slight idea may be formed by civilians that many qualifica tions beyond mere animal contsege:are.required by men who aspire to be good cavalry officers. Let any impartial man read over - the evidence given by Lard Lucan, the other day, before Mr. Roebuck's committee, and then say whether the last forty years of our cavalry training has produced what the public had every right to ex pect. It is all very well to blame the Commis sariat officers, and we would be the last to cast a veil over their gross mismanagem e nt in so many cases during the present Ns ar ; but it would .he in every way unjust to attribute solely to Mr. Filder and his subordinates the state in which Lard Lucan describes our cavalry to have been when he left the Crimea. If Lord Raglan was competent to command an army going .on service, 'he must have known that when horses have been accustomed to stables for many years, they would require in th• field some covering warmer than the hair furnished by nature. The brigades of cavalry should never have been allowed to leave England without a pro per supply of horse clothing, nose- bags,.pegs, ropes, and other requisites. Had the commanding and other officers of cavalry been aware of the duties they would be called upon to perform in the East —had they been possessed of any practical know ledge of their profession—representations respect ing the want of these articles would have been sent to the proper authorities, and.would, no doubt, have met with every attention. But both Lord Raglan and the leaders of the ca va l ry di v i s i on, b r i ga d es and regiments, seem to have proceeded to the Crimea trusting a great deal to chance, R and the rest t o Pro vidence. Th e h orses o f b ot h the ussiansand Franck dragoons —we don't include the Arab horses of the Chasseurs d'Afriq tie, which were no doubt more ac customed to roughing it—seem to have been in very much better condition than those of the ,English cavalry, simply because they were better looked after, and were under the eyes of officers who knew what they were about. At the present day, the French dragoons iu the Crimea take the whole duty of patrolling for the Allied army, and their horses are, comparatively speaking, in excellent condition. The magnificent English cavalry regiments which left this country about a year ago now exist but in name. One corps can muster but three horses ; another has only twenty fit for duty. Two heavy regiments—the 4th and sth Dragoon Guards—are so weak in numbers that for some months they have been amalgamated as one corps, 'and that united corps cannot muster sixty effective cavalry soldiers. In short, we have at this moment no cavalry whatever in the Crimea, and not less than 120,0001. has been lost to the country from the number of horses that have perished from mis management since the war began. For a state of affairs like this who is to blame ? We reply that, individually, every officer who had the power to represent the wants of the cavalry to Gerernment, and failed to do so, ought to be held responsible for what has happened. Furthermore, Lord Raglan is himself greatly to blame lei not re medying matters sooner than he did. But the fault throughout lies chiefly in the entire system hitherto pursued in the cavalry branch of the ser vice. That service has been for twice twenty years a mere fashionable plaything, with which moneyed men have amused themselves, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six. So much for the cause— the effect we see in the present state of our dragoon to wi regiments before Sebastopol. As a m an Sews, so must he reap ; and nations are not exempt from thi s universal law. Since the last wa r , we h ave allowed the which cavalry menof t keep his u country ota ll such as become would a make the army their profession ; and the servicesl t i n o result is now patent to all. No one can gather grapes from thorns, nor figs from thistles, al) , mor than sol diers fit for active ser • vice can be had at a moment's notice, without the slightest previous training. How long such a state of affairs is to be allowed to exist depends upon the nation itself; but we don't think that the period is very distant when the broom of reform will be applied to sweep away all the abuses which have so long been the curse of our army. etsitieer.(plareymnisteosnolicnegu,piaeta ant Fiar Az Berm )o d:ey.
