CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed lv:th a very quiet aspect, and prices remained un altered from last week' currency. The sales were 7 )000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export 4110 1 on speculation. The Railway Share Market was 6 11, and the transactions were moderate, at a alight decline on Tuesday's values. _ . It is expected that the Ripon, which will leave' Southampton. for India and China early next week, will take out a comparatively small amount of a Pecie, viz., about 600,0001. The advices just re ceived from India announce an important decline iq the Bombay exchange, and if a similar movement bas taken place in Calcutta there is reason to believe that the monthly exports will sensibly diminish. At present,' therefore, the inquiry for that metal is ihnited, and prices continue flat. A portion of the American dollars recently received has been sold at Old. per ounce, and the bars by the Atrato have realised 61id. per ounce standard. Very few pur chases are being made on the Continent, but occa lionally small amounts are received. The. Albion, from Boulogne yesterday, brought about 18,0001. The West Indian steamer which leaves to-day Will take out 12,7931. and 10,0001. in silver. The following resolution, passed by the directors of the Great Northern Railway Company, has been Posted at the Stock Exchange :—" That henceforth deeds of transfer will be allowed to be registered fo r any amount not less than 10s. of any of this c ompany's stocks, and that all transfers outstanding at this date will b 3 registered irrespective of amount." - - The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under 18b7.. 1856.

In Lom bard-street the demand is active, and full rates are current. At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of , B ank Stock, held at the Bank of Eng l a nd to-day, there was dividend of •5i per cent. agreed to, the profits during the six months be ing 775,660/. The Rest amounted to 3,840,625/., and after this distribution it would remain at 3 )040, 210/. _ _ The limited business transacted in Public Seen lities has not occasioned any variation in values, 'nit the market appears steady, not withstanding t he Bears seem encouraged by the less favourable state of the Money Markets on the Continent. S peculation, however, is very quiet, and the 14 vestments of the public are very unimportant. Consols have been 908 # for money, and 90 3 / 4 if for October 14. They are now 90 3 / 4 and 91:18 respec• Lively. Exchequer Bills are 7s. discount, and the Bonds 98 3 / 4 India Bondi under 1,0001. were 225. d iscount, and India Stock is quoted 210. Very few transactions have taken place in the Foreign Stock market, but the quotations generally remain firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 95i., and t he 4 per Cents. are nominally steady. Russian 5 per Cents. are 109 ; Ditto 43 / 4 per Cents. , 98 # ; and uutch 4 per Cents., 100. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 6 ; Mex;- lan, 21k ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 79 80 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; dirt 4h per, Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 ,per Cents., 40 40 ; ditto Deferred, 25 1 8 ; ditto Certificates, 61 6 ; ditto Passive, 516. The Railway Share Market this morning opened at about yesterday's quotation?, but subsequently rather more firmness has been apparent. Caledo nians have improved fully 21., Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee 65., South-Western 55., and South Devon ss. ; Eastern Counties, 7s. 6d. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire 4, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Great Western and North-Eastern (Berwick) each declined about ss. The French lines we're steady. Paris and Lyons, Eastern of France, Northern of France, and Western of France realised about former rates; Great Luxembourg and. Dutch Rhenish were a shade firmer. The Colonial Lines Were inactive. East Indian advanced about ss. to 10 8., and Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada were steady. Mining Shares were fiat. Sortridge Consols Were dealt in at 1i 2, and Alfred Console declined to 13k. Joint Stock Bank and miscellaneous shares are rather firmer. Bank of Egypt, Loudon Joint Stock, and Ottoman baying Elightly improyed. In the Miscellaneous Shares there is no varia. tion of impoitance to'note.

We have tidings of sad misfortunes by firs and flood in different parts of the Sardinian States. At Se-tri Ponente a fire broke out about midnight on the 12th, in a shipbuilder's yard, which, in conse quence of a strong wind, was not subdued until 4 am. next morning, after having consumed three vessels and a great quantity of timber. As soon as the news of the firs was conveyed to Genoa by telegraph, the authorities sent six engines, with a force of firemen and soldiers, to the rescue. The Intendant-General and the Assistant-Intendant and the Commandant. of Gensdarmes reached the scene about 1 a.m., by which time two vessels. were already consumed, and a third in a fair way of being so. The workmen of the neighbouring foun dries were turned out : by their employers, and as sisted the military, police, and Custom-home people, so that after several hours' hard work, the flames were isolated to that part of the yard where the already burning vessels were, and by four o'clock in the morning it was all over. The value of the property lost is valued at about 300,000 f. Most fortunately no one was in any way wounded. The cause of this disaster has not yet been ascertained, but every inquiry is being made on the subject. BANK OF ENGLAND. MEETING_ THIS DAY. The half yearly general court cf proprietors in the Bank of England was held this afternoon in the Bank parlour, Threadneedle-street—Mr. SHEFFIELD NEAVII, the newly elected Governor, in the chair. The GOVERNOR stated that the net profits for the half yeas ending on the 31st August last, were 775,6501. ; to amount of rest on day 3,840,625/. I.a. 3J. ; and that the amount of rest, after providing for a dividend at the rate of 5. per cent. for the half year, would be 3,040,2101. ls. 31. The Court of Directors, therefore, proposed that a dividend of s : i par cent. for the half year should be paid without deduction for income-tax. (Cheers.) _ Mr. J. PILCHICII ob3erved, that some of the younger banks with small capital paid a much larger dividend than the Bank of England. The GOVERNOR said that the difference was more nominal than real. The banks which the hon. proprietor alluded to had a very small capital in comparison with the Bank ,of England, and therefore the amount of profits must yield a large interest on capital, whereas the capital of the Bank was 14 milliotts, and thus, although the profits might be very large, they did not yield eo high a dividend. Mr. PILOLLED said he thought the capital ought to be more extensively employed. The GOVERNOR said they had nothing except what as prudent bankers they ought to keep in reserve. In the position which the Directors of the Bank of Eng land held they were of course obliged to keep a larger reserve then private banks. Mr. FILCHEx doubted if it were necessary. The GO/ MINOR said thatlaz the present dividend was larger than that of the previous half-year, it was neces sary thet it should be confirmed by ballot, which would take place on Tuesday next. The meeting would conse quently be adjourned until Wednesday next to receive the reeult. A vote of thanks to the Governor and directors ter , minated the proceedings. TDB ENGLISH FLEET `AT ALGIERSL A letter from Algiers, of the 10th inst., contains an account of the cordial and hospitable reception given to Admiral Lyons and the officers of his fleet on their late arrival there. On entering the port of Algiers on the 4th hilt., and after exchanging the usual salutes with the batteries, the Admiral landed and paid a visit to Gen. Renault, acting Governor-General io the absence of Marshal Ran don. General Renault, accompanied by his staff, returned the Admiral's visit the same afternoon. The officers and se tmen of the fleet visited the town during the sth, 6th, and 7th inst. On Sun day, the 6th, a great part of the population of Algiers visited the English fleet. At 6 o'clock the same evening General Renault gave a splendid dinner to Admiral Lyons and several English and French officers. On their arrival the band of the 68th Regiment struck up " God save the Queen.". The most perfect har mon y prevailed at the dinner, and when the dishes were r emoved, General Re nault priposed the health of Q ueen. Victoria hi the following terms : " Gentlemen,—ln presence of the Illustrious Admiral who so g %neatly 0 m banded the British fleet during the war in the East, and who afforded ro c a-dial and so com plete an assistance to our armies both by sea and land, I feel myself natural'y impelled to propose a toast, in which you will heartily join. To the very gracious Queen Victoria who giycs so m any pledges of sympathy to Franca—to the august Soverelun who maintains so high the honour of Great Biitain.' This address was received with shouts of applause from the guests. The Admiral, in returning thanks, expreit ed. the satisfaction he experienced in visiting the port and city of Algiers, and proposed the A health of his Majesty the Emperor of the Ffen ch. fter dinner there w as a re c e ption, at which the entire corps of British officers was present, as well as the civil and military functionaries of the place. Ors Monday the Admiral gave a grand dinner to General Renault on board the Royal Albert, to which were invited the company of the previous day and several ladies. The dinner was extremely gay, and several toasts were drunk. Admiral Lyons gave "The Emperor of the French." Gen. Renaul proposed " Queen Victoria and Prince A lbe t," General Baziine proposed " The health of Admiral Lord Lyons," atnd the Admiral, in re turn, gave "Prosperity to Algeria." On Tuesday morning the English fleet s , iled for Mahon. The inauguration of the small line of railway which runs from La Teste to Arcaehon took place on Sunday test at the latter place. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PLUMSTE&D.--Abollt ORO o'clock yesterday so 'ruing a fire broke out on the pre mises of Mr. Brown, a.builder, residing at Cageelane, Pluinstead. A party' of police from the Royal Arsenal were immediately on the spot with the fire hose of that este.h!ishment, 'hut as no water could be obtained, the wly le of the premises, including the furniture, stock in trade, &e., were, entirely consumed. Mdlle. Rachel has just left Paris for Cannot, a village rear Cannes, where she proposes to pass the winter. The great trigedienne has ta'een this c iurse by the advice of her medical 4Vendant, Dr, Raper. Her state now causes great anxiety to her friends, and her serious illness may be inferred from the fact that a department of a railway carriage Iraq been specially retained fur her.

EXTRAORDINARY AND DARING ROBBERY.--A ta, ROYAL LEGITIMACY IN PERSIA.— " According to the well dressed young man, who gave the name of William last accounts from Persia," says the Independence of Ward, wa s brought before Mr. Beadou charged with Blessele, "an event of great political importance has the following audaciou s and im p udent robbery : Madame Victorine P aul, tobacconist, No. 12, Sher gamy is permitted in Persia, and the Shah, as well ass rand-street, Goldene 3 qu are, de p osed tint on the p revious Lis subjects, can have several wives.

(Before Mr. Justice Crompton and Mr. Baron Watson.) THE LATE MURDER IN HORSERONGER•LANR GOAL.— James Preston, 64, labourer, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of John Hodges, in the Infirmary of Horserponger-lane Goal. The prisoner has the appearance of a man of weak intellect; He however appeared to watch the proceedings with great interest, 1 and paid great attention to the evidence given by the 2 various witnesses. Mr. Robinson prosecuted. Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. Robinson, in stating the case to the jury, said that the whole question for the consideration of the jury was, whether at the time the prisoner committed this act, of which there was not the slightest doubt, he was respon- Bible for his actions. The prisoner had been an inmate of Horsemonger-lane gaol for two or three months for debt, and the deceased was confined there on a charge of felony. Beth prisoners were placed in the infirmary, the prisoner because he was suffering from great depres sion of spirits, which it was believed would turn to in sanity, that he might be watched. He had always been perfectly harmless, and there was nothing to induce the officials to believe it would partake of a violent character. The deceased, however, on Sunday night, the 6th Sept., gut out of bed and went to the water-curet, returnir.g with a pail in his hand, with which he struck Hodges on the head and killed him. His excuse for striking deceased was that he had seduced his wife. Prisoner's wife W 33 in the habit of visiting him in the prison, but there was net the slightest ground for hie suspicion. Indeed, such a circumstance could not have occurred within the prison walls. The prisoner also said, " I can't tell why I did it—the devil must, have possessed me. He (deceased) was always very kind to me." Mr. Keene, the governor of the prison, in his evidence said that he had nos the least doubt of the prisoner's insanity. Mr. Justice Crompton strongly elm:muted on the illegibility of the depositions sent in by Mr. Carter, coroner for Surrey, in reference to this case. It was almost impossible to real them ; and Lad it not boon for the opening statement of the learned cmasel, he could not have deciphered many of the worJs. Mr. Robinson eaid it wag a complaint that was often made in that court. Counsel were in a better position _ . - - Alan the judges in this respect, for they had the depo3i- ions "translated" to them. Mr. Justice Crompton said depositions ought to be carefully taken and well copied out. It was of the utmost importance that judges should knn.v what wit• nesses said before magistrates, that they might not on the trial withhold anything, and it was equally import ant for prisoners that they should know if any:hing new was brought forward on their trial. Witnesses were then called, who proved the commis- sion of the offence charged against the prisoner. Mr. Iliff, surgeon, who had attended the prisoner in llorsemongerlane Gaol for 16 days during the temporary absence of the surgeon of the prison, deposed that he considered the prisoner of unsound mind, but of a harmless character. He was then labouring under an impreis'on that a surgical operation was to be ptrformed on him against his will. Witness was of opinion that the prisoner was incapable of judging between right and wrong. Mr. Justine Crompton aske 1 the jury if, after the evidence that had been given, they thought it necessary to call on the prisoner's counsel for his defence., The foreman of tho jury said that they wished to know something of the prisoner's antecedents. Mr. Sleigh said that if it were necessary he could call witnesses to prove more clearly, if possible, that the pri Boner was insane. He met with an injury in his spine some months ago, since which time his mind has been affected. Mr. Gibson, surgeon to Newgate prison, deposed that he had had the prisoner under his charge since hii com mittal to Newgate, and that he considered him insane. The jury then acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. The prisoner will be confined during Her Majesty's ,pleasure. THE HAMPSTEAD-ROAD MURDER.—Cornelius Denny, 26, smith, was charged with the wilful murder of Gallo Benz 3nel li. Mr. Cooper prosecuted; Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. It will be recollected that the deceased was in the employ of a person named Beretta, who keeps a shop in the Hampstead-road, for the sale of penny ices. On Saturday night, the 221 August, or early on Sunday morning tte 23d, the prisoner, his wife, and brother in-lA,/ went into the shop. 'rho prisoner who was drunk, fell asleep, and the deceased tried to awake him, but was unable to do so. Ile then threw water in his face, and put some ice down his back, which failed to accomplish that object ; but a second applica tion of ice to his back had the desired effect. A row then commenced, and the prisoner was ultimately pushed out of the shop by the deceased and his master. Prisoner returned to the shop, and the deceased procured a stick. He rushed out, lifted up the stick, and struck the pri soner on the back. The latter closed with him, and de ceased then exclaimed, "I'm wounded, I'm wounded 1" prisoner was seen to pass something to his wife which lipe afterwards dropped, and was found to be a knife covered with blood. The deceased was attended by a medical man and afterwards removed to University Hospital where he died from a wound in the abdomen from which the bowels protruded. The prisoner admitted to the porde that he stabbed deceased. Mr. Payne on the part of the prisoner addressed the jury, contending that the stabbing did not amount to wilful murder, but oely to manslaughter from, the pro vocation given by the deceased to the prisoner. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Baron Watson having summed up, The Jury returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, Mr. Baron Watson, in passing sentence, said that the . Jury had very properly taken a merciful view of the case, which was one just on the confines of murder and manslaughter. He condemned in strongeat terms the use of the knife ; and as a warning to all others, he must pass a severe sentence. He sentenced him to ten years penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. WESTMINS TER. AN INTOLERABLE NIIISANOE.—Gorge Reeves rind I Alfred Cambridge, two boys about 13 years of age, were charged with annoying residents at Caelsea. Benjamin Joyce, of Lower Simmonds-street, Chelsea, a poor decrepid o!d man, who gets a living as a tailor, assisted by his wife'e mangling, said that on the pre vious evening the two defendants and about 30 other boys came to his house and besmeared his board, which described his trade, all over with mud. They were rt peatedly doing this sort of thing, and he could hardly put up or take down his shutters without being smothered id mud. A pc liceman passing saw Reeves commii, the offence, and added that tradesmen in the neighbotrhood were daily complaining of the intolerable nuisance occasioned by gangs of idle boys. They particularly b , !set the aged and infirm, who were consequently Jefencelsss. Mr. Payuter said it was most disgraceful, and he would use his best endeavours t put a stop to such practicos. He accordingly fined Reeves 20.1., and in de fault committed him for 21 days. The other defendant, Cambridge, ag had been previ ously intimated, was then placed at the bar, charged with stealing with another boy a jar of tobacco from the shop of a widow woman at Chelfeo.

Brady, 344, A, apprehended the prisoner from a mob of about 200 people. Ile searched him at the station but nothing of consequence was found upon him. In reply to Mr. Beadon, witness dened saying the prisoner was his friend, or refusing to take him into custody. The fact-was quite the r3verse, the prisoner was a man whom he had been long looking after. Cole, 319, A, said the prisoner had been previously con victed. The prisoner in defence said the charge was trumped up by the woman, because he refused to make her a present. Committed for trial. MR. EIOPLEY ON EDUCATION. The 'following note is appended to the Second Lecture of Mr. Hopley's Series on education There are many into wios) hands these pages may fall, who will find a portion of the truth con tained herein too hard for them.' That education is to be the agent, under God, of banishing crime and misery from the earth—that health, intellect, and morality, are - destined to more and more abound, until, in God's good time, perfect obedi ence to the Creator's laws shall bring about perfec tion in the human race—this, though it has been agitating, more or less confusedly, the minds of deep-thinking men from the period of the imtitu tion of the Jewish priesthood to our own day (as seen in the w rks of Moses, Solomon, Esaias, Plato, Bacon, Butler, and various other writers, sacred and profane, as well as of ancient and of modem times), is yet so contrary to the habits of thought which have olr,ained thronghout the world, that it needs must be looked upon by not a few as the offspring of mere enthusiasm. But science is making rapid strides ; and the further science advances, and the more carefully the Scriptures are studied in connexion with its advances, the greater will the wonder grow that for thousands of years after God has declared that He wills not the death even of a sinner—that for upwards of eighteen centuries after Christ has preached that ' God is love' —the bulk of mankind should have continued , with such erroneous notions of the Creator's great designs. " Through evil report, therefore, and through good report, the author intends (God blessing the effort) to prosecute, to the best of his ability, his, arduous undertaking. , And 'he earnestly and affectionately Prays of.all.those who shall see in these lectures valuable truth, that, for the sake of tLemselves and others, they will help to spread the same abroad. And to those who would feel in clined to cavil with the work, he would say, 'Find fault with the style, for it is that of an erring man, but beware lest in cavilling ye find fault with truth, for that is God's. And to such as are, though kindly-intentioned, inclined to doubt—and to such as would hope, but afraid—the author begs to suggest, a 3 a fitting theme for reflection, the calmly-written words of one of the profoundest thiukera that the world has ever known Do not despair,' is the faithful counsel of the illustrious Bacon—' Do not despair, as imagining that the project for a `rand restoration is infinitely beyond the power of mortals to execute : for in reality it is the constituted means of stopping and prevent ' in; universal e,ror.* As our state is mortal and human, a full accomplishment cannot be expected in a single age, and must, therefore, be commended to posterity. Nor may man hope to succeed, if he arrogantly search for the sciences in the nar row cells of his own understanding instead of sub missively in the wider world. . . . We antici pate that the fortune of mankind will lead this commencement to such a termination as it is not possible fur the present race of men to conceive ; . . . but God forbid that we should ever of fer the dreams of fancy for a model of the world, but rather in his mercy vouchsafe t o us the power of writing a revelation and true vision of the traces and Moulds of the Creator in his creatures:t "Every one, however humble, who does his best in the cause of truth, helps to hasten that resto ration' for which our prophets and wise men have laboured. " May Thou, therefore, 0 Father, who be stowedat the visible light as tfie first fruits of Thy creation, and who infusedst into the fashioned man a portion of Thine intellectual light fur the accom plishment of Thy works, protect and guide this work, which, issuing from Thy goodness, seeks in return Thy glory. When /Thou surveyedst the works which Thy hands had wrought, Thou sawest that all were very good, and Thou didst rest ; but when man turned to the works of his hans, he saw that all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and he found no rest at all. But if we labour in Thy cause, Thou wilt make us partakers of Thy vision' and sabb.l6. Humbly, therefore, do we beseech The?, th-tt Thou will keep us steadfast in our re solve ; and that Thou mayest see fit to endow the human family with new blessings through - our hands and the hands of those,(and oh !' that they may so )11 be many !) ou whom Thou shalt bestow the same spirit.' Amen." * lufiniti errom finis et terminus Itgiaraus. Instauratio Magna. . 4 , - Ibid. LLOYD' .3 SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Sept. 17.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.; light breeze and fine.

Fresh bread and hot rolls every day, and we have all kinds of fruit ; ay, and fruit tarts for dinner every day. The men, too, have never seen a ship in which they were so well off, so that our lines have fallen in pleasant places. You will see that St. Vincent is 2,380 nautical miles from Spithead. and we have published it off in 10 days 22 hours, All are well on board. FIRE ON THE RIVER TIIAMES.—A fire was discovered yesterday morning in a vessel on the river TbameF laden with spirits.

The Instructive Picture Book ; or, lessons in the Vegetable World. By the Author of " The Heir of Redclyffe." E lmonston and_DJuglas, Princes street, Edinburgh, It is pleasant to find beauty and utility combined in a work interidel to convey information to the young.' Botany is a charming science, but is often, , and, indeed generally, encumbered with tedious and dry difficulties, which cause , the juvenile novi ciates to rejoice when the book of study is clozed. To delight the eye, impress the memory, and en large the mind by a focus of literary and pictorial • art is no easy task ; but the gifted author of " The • Heir of Redclyffe," in this publication, has appealed with unerring force to the sense of beauty, the , feeling of admiration, and the natural thirst_ for knowledge. Thirty-one coloured plate 3, arrangedby R. M. Stark, afford a gorgeous an:l attractive illus tration of the vegetable world, and the letterpress yields ample, concise, and simplified instruction du a host of natural glories and wonders, including seaweed, fungi, mos ea , spring, summer, autumn • and winter flowers ; edible production., grasses, grains, polsonous plant., fruits,. and various . other interesting subjects connected with • bo- • tans. We cordially confess that we have never met with so appropriate and excellent a . work for the purpose of arousing and stimulating the young learner to a real love of this portion of Natural . History ; and parents why wish to advan•!e the . hearts and brains of their childrewin refinern.:nt and intelligence will do wall t - r place " The In- ' sttuctive Picture Book" in their handy. • Recollections of Mrs. Hester Taffetas. Knight and Son. Clerkenwell-close. In this volume we have a number of stories, chiefly running on the papular end an cient theme of love ; and Mrs. T ►ffetas tells them in a quaint ani pleasant style. A strung dash of improbability is visible here and there, but any symptom of original power i 3 worthy of notice in these days of sterer_typed sentiment and twaddle ; and there is certainly a de gree of freshness in some of these gossipping recitals which merits a fair portion of praise. We should imagine the writer to, be young in the craft of authorship, and in her next public eisay a little more attention to the con sistent acti.:n of the char icters and general '' construction of incidents would enable her to pro duce a batter specimen of her inventive talent. Meanwhile we can honestly recommend the Recol lections of Mrs. Hester Taffetas as a light and .amusing volume. MILITARY SERVICE IN THE &NITED STATES: (From the New York Tinter) " The desertion of one-third of the force seeeked for the Utah expedition, involving the all but total annihilation of an entire regiment, suggests a few considerations regarding our treatment of our army. which are worthy of attention. The history of the sth infantry during the last ten years, the deban dade of which is causing so much del ler and annoy ance reflects, we think, very great discredit, not simply on the military authorities. but on the , whole public. This regiment, after arduous ser-. vices during the Mexican war, was immediately sent to the Texan frontier, where it had to undergo all the hardships and dangers of frontier life until two years ago. It was then sent to Florida, and served a campaign against the Indians in the swamp. This over, it was abruptly despatched to Kansas, and ordered to male% 1,000 miles through a howling waste, infested by savages, to fight a hostile population on its own soil. Now, . we have the highest possible opinion of the American army, composed though it be in the main of foreigners. Its whole history has been marked in no ordinary degree of courage and for; titude of the highest order. It will endure any- . thing with alacrity which human nature can be brought to endure ; but such a life as this sth Regi:- . ment has been leading is a life which no human' being in possession of a man's ordinary instinct and . a man's legs can be got to undergo. The greater portion of our military service is a kind which no other army in the world could be got to perform. This outpost duty, in which our troops pass their lives, is one which European arinids,. whenever they are engaged in it, perform only for cirtain fixed periods. The- Russian regimente serving in the Caueasus are either composed of men guilty of some cffence, military or other, or are per mitted to return to civilisation at stated intervals. The French army in Algeria is in comparatively comfortable quarters onee . the razzia is over. The reitish regiments serve in exposed positions in re-; gular rotation. The condemnation of any one re- , giment, or bet of regiments, to perpetual service in a Kaffir war would lead to mutiny. In all other armies, too, the restraints . of mili • tary discipline derive some mitigation from change of scene and from glimpses of gaiety, of relaxation, and even of luxury, snatched here and there on the march or in garrison. To-night the soldier bivouacs on the roadside, but to-morrow he will find him self billeted in a snug tavern in ri large town. If he passes the Alps he descends upon the rich plains of Lombardy. After Canna Comes Capon. The pleasing uncertainties of his position, the mix ture of wild enjoyment with fierce excitement and terrible suffering of which his career is made up, have for some natures an indescribable charm, and go far to furnish the hosts who pile up hecatombs on battle-fields. The American soldier, from the day of his en listment to that of his discharge, passes from swamp to swamp and forest to forest, sees no human faces but those of his companions in misfortune, knows rig excitementbetter than fighting with a foe whom it is no glory to conquer, has no hope of advance ment, lives wretchedly, and perishes obscurely. Change of quarters brings no relief. His condi tion is not much improved by being transferred from the banks of the Colorado to the Everglades. A march to the Salt e Lake is not a very pleasing variety after scouting in Florida. The officers are buoyed up under this terrible task by the influence and resources of education, by the voice of honour, and the hope of distinction. But Whence shall the poor Irish and German, who compose the rank and file, derive their consolation I Russian serfs could scarcely bo got to accept existence on such terms. We can hardly wonder if, in a free country, 'where labour is valuable, and where a civilian's exertions are rewarded 'by wealth, comfort, and honour in a far greater mea sure than in any other part of the world, the sol dier, whose life is all toil and privation, should 'scowl "false to his silt." Military discipline will do a great deal with men of any race and under any circumstances, but military discipline _alone will not keep up the morals fleet's - sexy for the perform ance of great eeterpr . s.s. We are so essentially a non-military people that our standing army is in a measure forced upon us by pressing necessity. We are ob liged to have one, but we atone for our chagrin by treating it as badly as possible. We don't suppose we shall effect much by appealing tO the humanity of the people upon this question, but we hope its economical .aspect will meet with some consideration. It is - the sheerest and most 'as iltul extravagance to lead a body of trained soldierssuch a dog's life that they shall desert en masse the first great strain they undergo. The immense extent of our frontier, and the daily increasing complication of our relations with other Powers, are rendering our stmndingarmy of yearly increasing importance. Tceie is a deeply-rooted feeling of hostility to any increase in its quantity, but its quality may, be whatever the War Department pleases. The present mode of employing it renders it all but utterly worthless, as this expedition proves. Troops drilled and trained and organised as ours are, are totally unfitted for ft ontier service against Indians. The superiority of a trained force is shown only when lit acts in masses. "Rangers," trappers, pioneers, Bashi-Bazouks, any sort of irregulars, skilled in the use of their weapons, and led by daring -men, would root. out Indians twice as well as " United States' Infantry or Dragoons." It is well known that our regulars are the laughing stock of our backwoodsmen iu their conflicts with the Indians. They are constantly outwitted; out manoeuvred, and outmarched by them. Ten thousand infantry, cavalry, and artillery, scat tered in microscopic aont: roiribitew detachments osolratrge over a frontier of 2,000 miles of forest, are simply so many convicts undergoing in of punishment. Con centratedof books, Short, of all the social influences under which the society, and civilisation,bodi bodies, within bin reach, reaciilnmen were born and brought up, they would be a powerful and effective posse—so many g re y hounds straining in th e l eas h. The mere talk of such an expedition as thislagairst the Mormons would rouse them in the eagerest excitement. Their morale would be kept up by contact with the rest of the world. They would be, in short, an army—a lay y sig el n a a im tir to which, they can hardly are fo w r o t o h di at m s e o n rt , aptituder o r a e ni s s o e e l e p d r t i ' a e r n s d Indian'fighter one must be "to the manner born." Our frontier duty we might easily perform by the aid of such Texan Rangers," made up of the c gs o cra r e ntdhe:Capegoats who haunt our borders in o of r life, have and a any y o s sort of i a ec o wi g f l :onofaadtt4 apeupri pmatspiseauasmbers, and who won't submit to rigid dis cipline, but would deal with Comanches iu their harum-scarum fashion far better than Frederick's Grenadiers, were they still in existence. The re gular army we could then reserve in full efficiency for special service en masse, where its drill and its discipline and expensive organisation would come into play. We should flans Consult the claims of humanity and the' claims of our own pockets at one and the same time. LITERA TURE. jeot, error ded.
