THE SOURCE OF ENGLANDS POWER.

THE source of the mighty power and command-
ing influence of this country amongst the
nations of thQ earth is undoubtly the sea. Our
military force, Volunteers included, would make
but a pour show against the legions of France,-
of Germany, or of Russia. The insecurity of a
land frontier was plainly enough demonstrated
eleven years ago in the war between the two
first-mentioned of these nations.. The French,
having been beaten on their own borders, were
compelled to retreat, and the German army
poured into France like an irresistible torrent.
Nothing could stem the tide of the invasion.
The only line which the French possessed had
been broken, and they were completely at the

mercy of the foe. Now, supposing an invader
to have beaten the English fleet at sea, a very
improbable contingency, he would still have the
Artiller3 Volunteer); to deal with when he at-
tempted to land, and to silence the great chain
of fortifications which runs round the coast.
The sea is so familiar to us thA we can
scarcely realise the feeling of those who having
lived their lives in an inland country such as
Germany gaze upon it for the first time. In the
French invasion of 1870 it came to pass that a
few Uhlans entered Dieppe by way of spying out
the nakedness of the land ; and riding on to the
heights near the town suddenly looked out upon
the vast shining bosom of the English Channel.
Ile.y gazed with astonishment upon its depths,
which snemed to tell them that thus far could
they go and no farther. The army of which
they were the representatives could overrun
France, but with that their mission ended.
Whatever cause of quarrel they might have with
England, they could not reach her shores by
chariots and horsemen. The sea between
England and France is not aldeep piece of water;
the towers of Westminster Abbey, 225 feet high,
would, if plunged into it at its deepest part, be
45 Let above the surface. But such Po it is, it
forms a very effectual protection against the in-
vasion of our shores. Napoleon menaced us
from the heights of Boulonge, but after collect-
ing a vast army there, drew it away again. The
days of Julius Ctestir had passed, and for the
matter of that, so had those of William, Duke
of Normandy.
Some people call the sea a "waste of waters ;"
but so far from this being the case it keeps the
earth from becoming a waste. Take away the
sea, and no grass would grow in the fields, while
the forests would perish. Water is as indi-
spensable to vegetable and animal life as the air
itself, and water is supplied from the sea. "All
rivers," said the Psalmist, run into the sea,
yet the sea is not full." Because the ocean is
coutinually•foreing up into the sky as much
water as all the rivers of the world are pouring
into its bosom. It generally happens that if
there is an excess of moisture in one hemisphere
there is a lack in the other. This was the case
dur/ng the present autumn, when at the very
time that our lands were drenched with rain,
there was a severe drought in the United States.
The proportions of earth and sea remain as
when they were first allotted ; and there can be
neither more nor less water upon the surface of
the globe now than at the creation.
In all ages have graphic writers admired the
grandeur, the immensity, and the power of the
sea. Calm in its majesty, imposing in its sub-
limity, irresistible in its might, it is the fountain
of all the fruitfulness and the birthplace of all
the resources that feed and support the popula-
tion of the:world. Besides sending forth the
clouds to the uttermost parts of the earth, it
purifies the atmosphere. If the winds carry
upon their wings toe malaria of the lands over
wtich they have blown, they are cleansed in
their passage Over the broad bosom of the oceun,
and they are sifted from the impurities. The
busy people in inland towns spend their brief
holidays by the sea side, because the breeze sent
upon the land by the great ocean has a wonder-
fully invigorating powcr. It is laden with health
giving prop( ries, taid restores vigour to the
worn and weary frame. The sacred writers
often made use of the sea to point a moral or to
illustrate a truth. There is no more expressive
passage from begining to end of the volume than
that in which the exile of Patmos described the
end of things created by the sentence "And
there was no more sea l" Three-fourths of the
contents of the earth's surface had fled away,
and thus was marked at once the end of Time
cud the plunge into Eternity.

THE IRON TRADE.
WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.
To-day's market was moderately well, attended,
and a brisk business tone ruled. The majority of
the manufa,cturars have plenty of work before them
and, in addition to refusing forward orders, some of •
them are asking more money for won- pt delivery.
Merchants who bought unmarked bars at £5 10s.
and .k 5 15s. in July, are now giving ss. and 7s. 6d.
a ton exa.a, sales at, 33 advance being closed to-day.
Marked 'bars are very firm at list rates, and it is im-
possible to buy at them for delivery afte the next
quarterly wesk. These houses have a large
quantity of work on hand than at any time since
the last spuit in trade. In some ci,eles a rise in
the price of marked bars in the usxt month is
looked upon as very probable, but if it does take
place others fear that ths returning revival will be
checked. Common sheets for galvanising are in
good inquiry, end prices are firm at £7 15s. to £8
for singles, and sin was got for doubles by one
house to-day. Stamping sheets are also in brisk
demand, ss. to 103 a ton extra being got for delivery
[loops, strips, and wire r ) Is a e also selling well,
despite the keen competition of outsiders. Some
of the constrative people are slso buying good lots
of tees angl, s and girder plates, but prices do. not
strengthen much. The pig trade possesses more
animation than for long time past. The makers of
all-mine non are quoting 2s 6d. more than at the
commencementof the quarter, and two or three re.
ruse to sell. Spring Vale and one or two other
brands are going off rather briskly, while the
common cinder smelters are doing it bettor trade
at £2. Competent authorities do not regard the sale
of the Psrkti. ids Ironworks as likely to be a very
large
successful spin ul ,tion torn syndicate.A.inveryimp lar(r,
sum of mosey will have to be expended
them before they can be worked at
a profit. inc agents of Midland and Cleveland
brands rsport a substantial advance in prices on the
week, and some of the bu3-ers held aloof to-day.
Hematites, :Lancashire, and Tredegar are in good
demand, and the value is maintained. Iron is in
brisk request, though local producers keep up their
prices i.OO WUCII for buyers. An agent for mineral
. raised in another district reports the receipt of one
line fur 50,C00 tons. The coal masters are doing a
. better trade.
