order ootou.
Mr. Slosisiii, after seine preliminary observation. dill.

ready to make with a view to placing these two bran.he•
the Post OfSee on a basis of finality. If. proposed to dd away

the limit of weight at 15a., and di transmit them at rate.

reduce the rate to di for 11.... 51. for SI, and Id. dor, . Si"

Mr. GRAVID thanked the Government for their cancession,

TN i "SDAV.-Lonl BURY mooned the debate on the Army
Regulation Bill, awl was followed by Mr. 13. Oseo•3a, who,
while giving Ur. Cardwell full credit for those good intent:ons
which might nerve tor the pavement of the House of Commons
as well noel" another place." maintained the measure of the
War Secreta.-y made nothing clear except that we must have
enlarged expenditure and ill-defines' estimates, and gave us no
pi...meet of permanent security. Ile excited a good deal of
merriment by speaking of the four representative, of the Wan
note. in the Horne -The Secretary of Stale, the Financial
Secretary, the Surveyordatneral of the Ordnance, and the
Judge.Adc °eat, - "a wildc army of martyrs;" and ~...2

Of another celebrated general when he tool, leave of his troops,
"Berpore brave army, and don't kick up a row." For the por-
shace he profaned no adiniraUon, and to its abolition
he entertained no objection, but he complained that the
Government had given the House no information RN to what
was to ....veal it. Al the same Urns be expressed great dis-
trust of " professional soldiers," and reminded the House that
Colonel l'nde, who "purged" the Ileum of Commons in PAO,
weeded it of all "the philosophic...ll economirdir" and some of
"the prefesson," and ultimately turned the Speaker out of
the elixir, a-as a professional soldier and non-pwrehue officer,
and that the man who "mine down to the House" ace impaineil
by 300 men, uttered the memorable word., "Take away that
bauble," locked the doors of the House of Common., and set
aside the British constitution ,was a lieut.-general by "selection."
Well, hut," says the Surveyor-Genenal of the Onion:ice,
"here I have a letter ;" and really 1 wax no carried away by
bin mariner that 1 thrught there was matter in it -(a laugh).
Nothing could have been better than his manner ; it was the
Governor of Corfu all over (laughter); but I must say the
matter disappointed me when he read that letter from Cdlonel
C.useron. Colonel Cameron i. a distinguished officer, hot not
more so than 30 others_ and I could quote two limes that
would, I think, even balance that authority
"The description of gentlemen of whom the offi:ers its the
army are composed make, [rem their education, manner., and
habits, the hest officers in the world. To compose the officers
oft lower class would cause the array to deteriorate."
That was the opinion of the Duke of Wellington, who, for-
sooth, is now sneered at by hon. and right hon. gentlemen-
" That never set • squadron in the field,
" Nor the division of a battle know
" More than a spinster."
(laughter and cheers). But I have a great civilian authority,
also. What does he ray ?-
"It woe only when the army was unconnected altogether
with those whose property gave therm an interest in the wel-
fare of the counta J., WAS commended by military adventurer+,
that it could ever become formidable to the liberties of the
nation."
That was the opinion of Loral Palmerston. ilhuote these to.,
authorities-the Duke of Wellington and Lord Palmerston -
&goblet Colonel Cameron.
