LONDON, PIEDNZIDIr; MAY le.

Inc letters we cootinne to receive daily In large
•ambers from all parts of the country on the Dub-

ject of Rifle Corps show with what alacrity the
manly youth of England enter into the duty of
taking part in the national defence. The mere
thought that we may one day have to speak with
bated breath among the nations because oar Wand
home is not safe suffices to kindle the old spirit in

&REA bouts, and on all bands we see the dower
of the people demand permission to take part
if the national defence. No foreign nation

•
can justly take offence at this. fh • move-
ment which we witness is not founded on any fore.
sonis conclusion uto European politics, any theory
of the balance of power, any peculiar views of na-
tionality or "natural frontiers." It is not the child
of flu foolish alarms which have been coincident

with its development. No ungenerous suspicion is
mammy to its justification. The time hes been
sad may return, when we could

Be atirriag ss the titan meet fire with fire,
Threats& the Ilrestartr, and outface the !wows
Of bragging horror.
Bat it is act is this vehement spirit that we ai

setting ►boat the work tao long neglected. The vo.
lantwer corps now forming are strictly for de-
fence. We are not proposing to make more
soldiers, bat to remove from oar citizens the
rapateeh of helplessness in time of danger. Aa a
Miss, we have in some respects fallen away from
ear military aptitudes. Our ancestors toad, laws
obliging persons to provide themselves with arms,
sad to learn the wee of them. At the era of the

Reformation every clam of eitiamm wan trained to
arms. By the 33rd HIDIrIY YIIL all men under
the age of 60, even servants and labourers, were
- . .. ..

commanded to exersise the art of shooting with a bow ;
fathers and masters were directed to have those
ander them instrusted in the we of arm' ; and
townships ware ordered to provide butts
for shooting at, under penalty of a fine.
By the practice of warlike exercises our forefathers
of every rank were prepared to contemplate every
contingency of foreign aggression without dismay,
and the whole nation was, in the words of Yll.eon,
" iaspiredwith a gallant and fearless courage, which
" bsiag tempered with true fortitude sad patience,
" tensed into a patient and heroic valour, and made
" le bate the cowardice of doing wroog."
Bo far from believing that familiarity with the
nee of arms would make on people more prone
le aggressive war, we are convinced that the
wassciounnees of strength which it would dif-
fers throughout the nation would do more
than anything else to uproot that jealous sus-
erptibility which is the prolific parent of wan.
Nothing would more effectually discourage the
braggart tone which shames our friends sad ex-
asperates our enemies, nothing more effectsally
check the tea-table ferocity of hysterical poet•, than
the knowledge that fifty thousand of am youth were
reedy instantly to take the field for their country,
with 'courage which must not be trifled wilt. Our
ancient bards addressed real armies; their modem
successors, before bidding their riflemen forms
carefully satisfy themselves that the corps are not is
0211/41161N. Take the subject out of the region of the
imaginatioe, lied they will remember the fable of the
Old Kau and Death.

Bat the formatioa and extension at Rills Corps en-
seasters a side= sad practical difficulty. As loos
• a 'lumber of citizens merely assemble in clubs
at societies to *boot at a nark with rifles or other fire.

ass br mime, blustery diminetioe, er siseemset, I
the taw has nothing to say to the. IsmMaisel es 1
the liberty u, enough is not made of it. There arm
tens, we bops hundreds, of Omura& who would like •
to bear their part in the defames of their country
who really could uot find opportunity for much more
practiee than the ride grossed would afford. A national
habit of rifle shooting, apart from drill or evolutions" I
would do more than is commonly supposed I
to assure the defence of the country in case of seen- '
stun. Moreover, notwithstanding all that has been ,
said, we doubt whether there is anything is the
present state of the law to prevent the chief of
rifle slab from showing its members bow to lies
s hedge, so as to expose themselves as little as possi-
ble MI the 'army 's fire, how to advance rapidly to s
new position when there is an opportunity of
pining ground, and how, when pressed, to retreat
with rapidity and line the hedges in tins rear.
The members of clubs confining themselves to exer-
t:Mee of this rudimentary character might content
thmeeleas with some kind of distinguishing badge,
aaliabrat to give their band an external and visible
unity, end dispense with a uniform. &moieties of this
kind might be multiplied indefinitely by mere
voluntary amociation, sad, under judicious rules of
visitation and inspection, would form elementary
schools to supply corps of higher organisation and
discipline.
And here it is that the injurious working of the
present laws on military training are felt. Those
laws, in their excessive stringency, are the expres-
' aka of that deep distrust of the nation which the
Towles of the Regency had earned the right to feel,
sad which the CIVSTLEREAGIIS and AM/111020Ni Ot
our own days inherit. Out of the vast host who are
ready to avail themselves of such a radiaseetery Dab
lag se we have described, there see theessmils who
would not remain satisfied without a thorough bids.
• ties each as would enable them, on the first alarms
to cooperate with the regular forces of the country.
la order to t►is end, they must be formed in corm,
m well for the purpose of training se for soopum-
, two. The clubs and associations would supply the
• Hire of their members to form each irregular corps;
am of intelligence and self-reliance, capable of
acting on their own judgment, but at the same

thus ready to go thmogh toe Nurse of
instruction and discipline which, light troop,
sisprirs. Our laws have ,act contemOntod the for-
mation of such corps under conditions which would
give fair play to the free military spirit of these
Islands. The volunteer corps, for which they were
originally made, were nothing but a bad militia.
Those who now want to qualify themselves to serve
their country do not want to join a militia, whether
good or bad, in time of peace. They do not
want to come under the rule of the Horse Guards
or the influence of a Lord-Lieutenant, except
when there is fighting to be done. Why cannot
they be allowed to qualify themselves to serve the
country under regulations just sufficient to ensure
their responsibility to the State' This is the very
least we can ask.
