fret the Podelian wastes; and perhaps nomads
herdsmen from Central Asia. If there are now tattle
at Paris in good condition after a journey of 2,500
wby not from double the distance, when
the rails are down? Already there are long•horned
and short—straight-horded and twisted—branching
and perpendicular horns—buffalo from Hungary, in
contrast to the slim Alderney and hardy Kerry, from
the British dominions. There are kinds precious to '
the old Scythians for their tallow, and others inesti-
mable to the Dutch for the cheese they yield. There
is the rout beef of Old England walking about on
French territory ; and the Swiss cows which wake
the Alpine echoes in our poetry and music; and the
Spanish balls, which carry our thoughts to the
amphitheatre in the days of romance. After the gay
and various show shall have parsed by, the solid and
permanent satisfaction will remain, that by the inter-
change of specimens and the encouragement afforded
to the cultivation of stock, we see an end to the po-
pular hunger which has harassed France with im-
practicable laws and false promises, and been the
curse and dread of other countries than France, from
time to time, to an extent which we may trust will
be unknown to future generations.

of the Militia is being oar-

tied out with promptitude and determination. In
so far as Ireland is concerned, it rests in a great
measure with the Lord Lieutenant to marlin the

arrangements and periods for disembodying the
Militia of that kingdom. The case of the Irish
Militia Regiments is therefore exceptional, and may
involve special causes of delay. But for many rea-
sons it is certain that active steps, on an extensive
scale, will soon be taken in the matter. With regard
to the English and Scotch Militia Regiments, we
hear of no less than twenty for whose disembodi-
meet the requisite warrants have already been
issued by the Minister of War. Within a week or
two we have every reason to expect that the disem-
bodiment of these regiments will be completed.
The regiments here referred to, are :—The let An-
glesea, the Bucks, the let Cheshire, the Cornwall
Miners, the Denbigh, the 2nd Derby, the let Dur-
ham, the Glamorgan, the 6th Lancashire, the Lanca-
shire Artillery, the let Middlesex, the Shropetire,
the 3rd Stafford, the 2nd Tower Hamlets (otherwise
called the Queen's Own Light Infantry), the 4th
West York, the Dumfries, the Edinburgh County,
the Fife, the Inverness, and the Galloway. Although
thew are the only English and Scotch Militia Regi-

meats--et least in so far as we have been able to
learn—for whose disembodiment orders have gone
forth, there can be no doubt that others will, without
delay, be subjected to the same process. Our readers
will find, among the naval and military news in our
ism of this day, a copy of a circular which his been
forwarded by the Minister for War, along with the
warrants for disembodiment, to the Commanding
Officers of the regiments mentioned above.
