but so far from this being proper, they ha7re7cr.dy
six-pounder guns, so that if the men were given nine-
pounder guns, they would have to leave their ammu-
nition waggons behind. And all this sacrifice of
efficiency is made just to be able to "show off" on
Woolwich Common, previously—mss Sir CHARLES
NAN= well says—to enjoying champagne luncheons.
Upwards of some dozen companies of men are re-
tained at Woolwich, to guard our arsenal; a duty
which the sentries in Portsmouth dockyard could do
jest as well, yet by keeping the stores and
at Woolwich we withdraw twelve him-
cilall
edi efficient men from oar cast defences.
Yet session after session sees the representative
of the Ordnance, get op in his place in the house,
and congratulate the nation on the efficiency of
the artillery.
The proposal to add one thousand men to the
artillery looks like an addition to our means of de-
heeding England. Do not let the people be too
,sisre of this. This additional thousand men is to
glee, we are told, ten extra men for each com-
pany;—but half the artillery companies are serving
abroad, • fact which we can scarcely suppose the
seinistry to have been ignorant of when their plan
we mode known. Consequently, our thousand
men way,—so far as force in England is concerned,—
be, in reality, only half that number.
The chief opposition to potting the regiment on a
proper hada( arises from the difficult y of coining to
any agreement as to how promotion should be given
to the Asia in the higher ranks,—a consideration
crelsielly ef some weight, and, which, unless duly

The Mositet'sr contains a report from the Minister
of Public Works, stating that the company of the
Belgian Railway of the Sambre and Meuse was autho-
rised by a royal ordonnanoe of May, 1845, to prolong
that line on the French territory as far as Vineux-sur-
Meuse, a distance of about 21 kilometres (about 11
English miles). The revolution of February inter-
rupted the works, but the company is now willing to
continue them provided the government allows it
the same delay as has been granted by the Belgian
government for the construction of the part of the
line which runs through the Belgian territory,
namely, to December 31, 1854. The minister recom-
mends to have the delay in question accorded. A
decree from the President of the Republic follows,
aproviag of the decree, and ordering its suggestions
to be atrisd out.

To-day the walla of the capital are covered with
placards of different shades of yellow, containing
what is called 1. pegfoosiost de joi of the various can-
didates for the electoral districts of Paris. It is to
be remarked that among dues figure the addresses
of the opposition candidates. M. Mortimer Ternaux,

The address of M. D'Aubennesuil, the indepen-
dent candidate for the Seine Inferieure, contains this
bold criticism of the principle of government candi-
dateship :

I do not mmest myself with the Rapport of the administra-
tion ; I have thought that my mandate ought to be the free,
spontaneous expreedon of the will of the electors. It is in
them alone that I esa rmegaiss the right of appreciating
the matt and value of the candidates submitted to their
suffrage.

AU intercourse between the military frontier and
Lower Bosnia has been broken according to the
latest accounts. No sooner does an Austrian subject,
even a " pedlar or a woodman," get beyond the lines,
than he is marched back again under a strong escort.
The French government has forwarded instruc-
tions to its minister, to represent to the imperial
cabinet, that the duties on many French articles im-
ported into Austria have been materially increased by
the provisions of the new tariff.
The Lloyd, which it is customary to regard as the
especial organ of Prince Schwanenberg, says: "The
new military levies which are being raised by the
British government, have caused considerable sensa-
tion both in and oat of England, especially since
they have become connected with the recent declara-
tion of the Prime Minister, that there exist so many
causes which might draw England into a quarrel."
We must acknowledge that there appear many
weighty considerations for such a determination,
however they may be forgotten in a superficial par-
liamentary debate, and hidden from the understand-
ing of the public at large.
However loud the trumpet of alarm may sound, it
is only necessary to cast a glance at the state of the
continent to see that the preservation of peace is of
far too great and universal importance not to be
the object of every care and anxiety. We know no
power, not excepting France, which has anything to
gain by the disturbance of peace in Europe, still less
by a dispute with the immense naval power of the
British Islands. Above all, there are so many
earnest questions to be decided, such a necessity for
friendship and co-operation among European nations,
that they present good security for the continuance
of peace. We shall see if England herself means to
join sincerely in the efforts being made by other
states to preserve it.
So much is certain, that power which shall first
trouble the peace of Europe, whether from selfishness
or ambition, will have a heavy responsibility in the
eyes of unbiassed history, and will have injured some
of the weightiest interests of humanity.

The proposed new law for organising communities
contains clauses opposed to the provisions of the con-
stitution. To-day, a motion in the First Chamber
that these discrepancies be first discussed, before the
bill be allowed to proceed, was violently opposed by
M. von Gerlach, who maintained that, according to
section 107, alterations of the constitution are to take
place in the ordinary course of legislation, whisk
signifies that the laws passed on ordinary subjects
may contradict and incidentally change the constitu-

constitution, he said, form extraordinary legislation;
and the proposal to let the bill in question rest, for
the make of debating on general constitutional prin-
ciples, would be a disorderly course. The cavaliers
do not lack ingenuity in picking holes in the charter.
Dr. Klee is determined not to be outdone as an advo-

Martinique and Guadeloupe papers, which have
reached us to the latest dates, are chiefly occupied
with the addresses of felicitation and adhesion to the
government of Louis Napoleon. The islands were
in • state of tranquillity, though it had been found
necessary to issue very strong orders, warning the
populace against suffering themselves to be betrayed
into any demonstrations of feeling adverse to the
recently developed views of Louis Napoleon.

There were four men-of-war in the harbour of St.

steamers Crocodile and Milan, and the brig Olivier.
The St. Lucia PaLadium gives the subjoined in-
formation from that island:

The new year has been ushered in with a good deal of
rein—more than suits the arrangements of the planters at
this season. It has thrown them considerably behind in their
manufacturing operations. Upon many of the plantations
the pressure of circumstances has forced on the beginning of
the crop; but where it can be afforded to wait till the canes
are at to yield a greater quantity of sugar the planters take
good care to avoid sacrifice, and to bestow their attention on
the growing crops and the preparation of their works. The
crop of 1862 promises to be large, though it is very doubtful
how far it will prove remunerative, when the low prices at
home and the want of cheap and continuous labour in the
colony are considered. We have had some boisterous
weather, too, by which the droghing vessels have been
lacked in at the *abbeys, a that the ships in port receive
their cargoes but slowly.

Shocks of an earthquake had been experienced in
Antigua and St. Rift's. The Antigua Weekly
Register of January 27, has the following :—" The
weather continues showery. In the windward
part of the island, towards Belfast Division, there
have been seasonable showers both for planting
and other purposes ; but in the more central districts
heavy rain is much .required. The difficulty of ob-
taining labour is sadly felt in many places."

nals are destitute of news of importance.
