THE MILITIA AND THE DEFENCES The Earl of Ripon moved the second .realling of the Militia _Law ,Amendment Bill ; its object was to f a cilit a t e the action of Government in availing themselves of the ser vices of the force. Lord S. de RADCLIFFE averred, that, although peace was declared, there was no guarantee for its continuance, so he therefore impressed upon the House and the country the danger of neglecting its defences. He lamented the sus pension of the Militia Ballots, which were our 'only sub-. stitutes for conscription. The country was surroundod with' difficulties, and it was of the utmost importance that the militia should be put in a state of effiCiency. The uncer tainty ,of the maintenance of peace had been &Yowl ,by recent events, although he trusted that the COnferenei) of Zurich would result in a durable and satisfactory treaty. Lord KnsTosnowx said that the militia would never be in a satisfactory state till the Service was made compulsory. The Earl of RnsoN said the whole question of the militia!, would occupy the earnest attention of' the 'GOVernmenti during the recess, and every effort would'beniadelo place!, it on a satisfactory footing,. ; He hoped, however, to avoid' the necessity of compulsory service. The bill was then read a second time; ! VariOns bills were advancedU stage. The House adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.- --YEErrlii6AY The House met at one o'clock, for the'purpose of ad vancing the bills on the table through, their respective stases.

It would be out of plac, at this time of day to criticise lec,olomini, more especir here in tho provinces. But this we mast say, that her at tractions appear to nothing like the same advantage in the con ccrt-room as they do in the Opera House. Her right evidently the, lyric stage, and she loses much of her, powe when she is transferred from such a sphere.

He considered that it was one of dutit Ailzations of nieinbei o fire tention a member of ,Parliament to give hi social gatherings like : the present. In his judgment, there was no waY,i i n 'which the English character, could be better studied than. in the expansion which followed upon a good a laiic the present fall 4 detain them long dif teen supporters of his, for there. must always. be af wi to th rn i oo er n .Y . er ll ea e t D eo le u a l s d ur n e ot th h a o t r h e e ferences of opinion. i no n g th em , ,an d h e t rus t e d th a t wher ever ever he went th a t , f ree d om a .of opinion would re:,,•n, which, indeed, must e ver re i gn i n t ea ha rn t e al a l in tl ° le n re st w t o h u e ld ni company of Englishmen.

(Cheers.) In coming to a meeting like the present, he met with that peculiar feature in English institutions which that -assembly might be said to represent. Ile believed there was no country but England, in the whole of Europe, where feasting and charity went together, and he h e ld it to be true that, in England, cliarity and sympathy was increased at the feast ; he trusted, therefore, that the old national CUs- O F of. giving publicdinnCrs in aid of charitable objects might never go down amongst us. The only cou n t r y be sides England where : Charity on a large principle prevailed, withoat the aid of government, was in America. In regard to America, he Might quote from an old song on the hospi tality ant charity in Boston. It ran thus.:--. liOstap is a Yanitea town, Where all thq men are brothers ; If one man has a pumpkin pie, He gives it to the others. Perhaps it could'scareely be said- that this , feeling prevailed to the same length in England; but' although England might not be able to • boastLof such' an extensive charity us this— for he , believed that,4n•Englaild,- a.man with a pumpkin pie , would keep Some at -least' for -himself—yet she could boast of A' very exteiried charity. :(Hear, an cheers.) lie did not think that in America charity went to the same length-as in England ;:becanse, as civilisation advanced in a 'new country like America, it was 'not -so much required ; but in an old , country 'such: as England, , the exercise ,:of charity was , much required. The hon. member concluded by thinking- the cetnpany for the kind manner in .whibh they bad received the toast. ' _ Mr, X.. Lsim,..Esq., M.P., next rose to acknowledge the toast, and was also , greeted with prolonged applause.
