LONDON, MONDAY, JUNG 1.

A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will
be published as usual ON SATURDAYS.

Now that the subject is on the eve of being dis-
cussed by Parliament, it is of some importance to
furnish the public with some definite notions of what
is desired by rational Army Reformers. A good
many persons seem to imagine that the army is to
be officered by no man who has not acquired his
commission by a competitive examination—that
every year many sets of military candidates are to
present themselves at the Hone Guards in order to
be examined—that the subjects of examination are
to be more of a scholastic than of a soldier-like
character, and that the individual who shows him-
self proficient in the mere "bookish theorkk," the
mere prattle of the profession. is to carry the day
over him who excels in practical ability. This is
simply • mistake. Physical courage and prowess
will always be qualifications of the highest value in
the officer as well as in the pen ate soldier. Those
wits ponces them are fitted for the ordinary routine
of the service without any additional requisite ex-
cept • knowledge of drill and the education d
gentlemen.
This is one class : the class of the ordinary officer
but besides this class every army must be furnieini
with engineer and artillery officer,, and with oaken
of the general and personal Staff. What is demanded
by Army Reformen is simply this, that the ablest men
who devote themselves to the army should have an
opportunity of acquiring such knowledge as shall fit
them for their several duties, and that, having
availed themselves of those opportunities, they may
he assured of obtaining employment. An army, if
it is to be an efficient and economical instrument for
war, must be directed by educated men; and
few men will spend their time or their money
upon education unless that education will ensure them
employment and promotion. In order to attain this
result the plan contemplated is something of this
sort : It is proven' that until the age of 17 youths
intended for the army shall pursue a course of genet al
education. Till that age it is desirable that the mind
should be devoted to that general cultivation of the
faculties which constitutes what is termed a liberal
education. Such a discipline is found by experience
to be the best preparation for every other profession
—for the law, for the church, for medicine, even for
mercantile business--and therefore we may natu-
rally conclude that the same principle ought to hold
in the military profession. Having thus acquired
the education of a gentleman, the youth of I i who
intends to acquire a special knowledge of his profes-
sion may enter a military school. As we have
already observed, it is not by any means • part of
the proposed plan that every young man intended
fee the army should enter a school of the kind. On
the contrary, the numbers who would do so would be
comparatively few. The rest would obtain their
oommiasions directly—at all events, after having
pissed such an examination as to show that they had
received the education of gentlemen. In these military
schools the pupil would acquire habits of obedience,
lbw of military discipline, • knowledge of mathe-
meths, geography, and military history, and of such
other sahiects as may be deemed most fit for his special
purpose. Having remained at the school eighteen
menthe or two years, the young soldier would obtain
his oommissien in the Infantry, the Cavalry, or, by
maspetitive examination, in the Artillery or En-
gingen. In ere of his joining the Artillery or
Bailment be would proceed to Woolwich or Chat-
ham, where he would apply himself to the specific
Malice which would best fit him for these branches
d the service.
lyw who obtained commission.* in the Cavalry
or Ishatry would join their regiments. Of course
it is obviously essential to the success of this plan
that some rewards should be offered to those young
ma who distinguished themselves at the military
wheels. Bursaries might be granted, or an increase
of pay or same other benefit secured to them. Ilavin g
joined their regiments, the young officers would remain
with them two years. After that, all officers who bad
served twoyears would be entitled to enter their names
as competitors for entrance Into the Staff School.
This is • School which it is proposed to institute for
the purpose of educating those officers destined to
serve on the personal or the general Staff of an Army.
It would be impossible within the compass of an arti-
cle to explain the constitution of such a School. In-
deed it is annewimary. Staff Schools exist in every
country in Europe as well as in America, and the
Senior &wittiest of Sandhurst was during the great
French war • real school for this purpose. It may.
however, be stated generally that the officers at
this School would become thoroughly acquainted',
with all these subjects which are set forth as MM.
tial subjects of knowledge in the Order lately Wed
by the Hone Guards. Having studied at this Sid
School 110•10 three as four years, the officers would be
required to undergo an examination, and moseilag
to the order in which they might be placed
in the examination lists would they be entitled to
claim a Staff appointment. It is no doubt probable
that some of the competing officers would ma Is Or
immediate object of this final examination ; belt
only consequence of this would be, that they weld,
return to their regiments, and would, tram lb

the army.
- •

Snob are the general Rehires of the proposed plan
of Military Education. But in this plan it is essential
to insist upon the Principle of Competition. Indeed,
the late General Order of the Horse Guards admits
the idiperfections of the present system, and the
necessity of imposing some educational test. But,
highly es we value this admission, it falls
short of the requirements of the case. A
mere standard of qualification is not enough.
Such a standard is easily evaded and filed down into
a mere formality. The principle of competition is
the only principle which can secure the best men,
end the practice of France, Austria, and Sardinia is
a powerful argument in its favour. Indeed, it is the
puinciple which has already been sanctioned by Lord
PAXlit'llE for the Artillery and Engineers, and for
astablishing which his Lordship cannot be too highly
It is a point, however, which will no
=idbe vehemently resisted by the Horse Guard',
NA which, therefore, Sir Ds LACY Evslis and other
Anay Reformers will do well to bear in mind. The
only other point which it is absolutely essential to
insist upon is the establishment of a Board for
Military Education, independent of the War-office
or of the Horse Guards. In this Bawd, which ought,
amongst other things, to have the management of
the examinations, the Civil element ought to be
largely represented. Without this, the Board must
become narrow in its views and suspected by the
public; unless made independent, it would degene-
rate into a mere tool of the War-office or of the
Horse Guards, with all their narrow prejudices and
traditions,

nee commercial world will have learned with
regret that the Count D'Anclovr has resigned the
post of Governor of the Bank of France, an office
which he has filled for twenty-three years with the
greatest honour to himself and advantage to the
public. If the rumour be true—and we trust it is
not so—that he has been induced to team this step in
consequence of disapproving the prileem of the
Government with regard to the Itsik.wocannot but
regard it in the light of a pails tnidletane, and
should be disposed to look with unagiden en a me&
rive which could lead him is siert se &Mei a
course. If, on the contrary, he believes that at tho
age of seventy-five, though still retaining his full 1
powers, he is entitled to repose after hie
long end honourable career in the public service,
we trust that he may long enjoy the conviction
that he carries with him into his retirement the best
wishes and the esteem of almost every man of dot
financial world whom good opinion is worth peer
ing. But under any cirmemstsnces his absence hem
active life is to be regretted at the present inescht.
At the head of the great national credit Wad&
ment of France we need more than ever a move
et
strict probity, high sense of public duty, and trial
experience. The new and dangerous financial dos-
trines which have rprung up, and which have
made so rapid a progress in France since 18*
require some public counterpoise, such as a
sound administration of the Bank of France affords.
There is a strong desire, evident hi
die
whole Imperial system, not only to sow dm hoe st
national prosperity, but to see them at case ban
fruit. There is a craving for evidences of with
and financial power utterly inconsistent with all
that experience has taught us to look for ; and we
much fear that this unnatural forcing system, unless
checked, will prove a killing of the goose that lays
the golden eggs. The luxury of Paris, the increase of
its mushroom millionaires, and the constant trumpet-
ing of the rapid growth of the general prosperity,
remind us of nothing so much se the superb floral
displays of those itinerant flower vendors with
whom the first gleam of summer weather is sure to
crowd the London pavements. Fresh-looking.
vigorous plants, covered with masses of gorgeous
bloom, irresistibly tempt the suburban horticulturht,
But he seldom makes a second venture ; hies
splendid pelargoniums either have no root, or the
mass of blossoms which so attracted him has hem
forced into rapid and unhealthy existence by
stimulants, which at once create the semblance
of vigour and destroy its reality.
Against this forcing system, this bolstering up of
wild speculation or financial extravagance, the
Count D'Azootrr is understood to have protested at'
all times. The plan of making large advances to 1
speculators, on the principle of the ("Arlie Mobilise,
although highly profitable to the shareholders
of the Bank, is one foreign to those prin- 1
ciples on which he conceived a national bank of '
ionic should be conducted, and which have carried
the establishment under his government through
difficulties of no ordinary character. We have no
dries to detract from the wits of the predecessors
der Count D'AICIOUT j and we willingly bear tes-
timony to the fact that from its foundation the Bank
of France has been managed with remarkable skill
and prudence. But it has been under hie governor-
ship that it has attained its greatest prosperity, and
has rendered the most essential services to the com-
-rce of France.

The Munitear publishes a circular from M. Bil-
lank to the prefects, dated only yesterday, May 30,
explaining the "attitude of the government" with
regard to the elections. The Minister of the Interior
tells these functionaries that the Emperor desires to
see universal suffrage freely exercised ; that not only
every candidate, but every elector, will enjoy the
fullest liberty ; and that although the government
claims to enjoy the same privilege every individual
in France possesses (of designating the candidate
which it prefers), the electors alone will choose. It is
at the same time intimated, in accordance with a pas-
sage cited from the speech from the throne delivered at
the opening of the cession just closed, that the old de-
puties having so thoroughly answered the expects•
floes entertained of them, will, except in some few
special cares, be recommended by the government
for re-election. M. Billault complains that the
state of the law respecting the distribution of elec•
tend bulletins has been grossly calumniated. lie
considers the rules simple and liberal. During
twenty days preceding the election every candidate
who shall have complied with the formality of de-
positing with the prefect • signed copy of his eke-
I toral address and voting bulletin may post
I and distribute them without authorisation,
Itold every elector who—" not being content
with the exercise of his individual right" (this
phrase, by the way, infers a strong opinion on the
part of the minister that it is very presumptuous on
the part of en elector to desire more)—wishes to
=aba candidature may freely distribute bul-
ject only to the condition that the candl-
eit; shall testify his consent to stand by affixing his
signature to • bulletin legally deposited. These
conditions, the minister avers, leave the fullest
liberty to candidates and electors, the one to solicit
land the other to express the suffrage of the eon-
I stituency. So far all is plausible. But then
there follows this passage:" If, however, the
enemies of the public peace should think to
find in this latitude an occasion to make •
seditious protest against our institutions, if they
should attempt to use the liberty granted es as
instrument of trouble or scandal—you know yeti'
duty, M. le Paler, and justice will also know bow
to fulfil its duties with severity." Now, what does
this mean ? It cannot refer to public electoral
meetings, for none are permitted. It cannot cells
to tumultuous assemblages in the streets, for thew,
everybody knows, would be at once put down.
What are the indicia by which the prefects are to
know that the liberty granted—namely, the liberty
of distributing names of candidates (always under
the required regulations) and a secret vote with
these bulletins—is made an instrument of
scandal and trouble? Doubtless they have
very precise secret instructions on these points
beyond M. Billault's public and holiday letter.
But I cannot help surmising that wherever opposi-
tion candidates may have any chance of success, it
will be discovered by the prefects that the vote is •
" seditious protest against existing institutions," and
that then they will exercise those duties which " they
know," but which the public as yet can only guess at.
Captain Segari and M. Smitti, two persons said
to be agents of the King of Naples employed to
intrigue in the interest of Count Montemolin, have
lately been arrested in Paris. The first-named per-
son has been sent in custody to the Swiss frontier.
I do nut know what has been done with the other.
This being Whit-Sunday, the Pressc and Perlis

LIVERPOOL, EvxDiT.

This afternoon the royal mail steam-ship Europa,
Captain John Leitch, arrived in the slersey. Her
dates are from Boston the 20th inst., and from
Halifax the 22nd. She has brought, besides the
usual mails from the United States and British
North America, 100 passengers, including Miss
Louisa l'ync and Mr. William Harrison, and on
freight 1,004,590 dols., of which 673,948 dols. arc for
Havre.

The rumour of Brigham Young having had to flee
from Utah is incorrect. He still remains at the
Mormon settlement, at Salmon River. For some
unknown cause the Mormons at Bernadine and the
surrounding settlements had been summoned to Salt
Lake City.
Later advices from Mexico state that all the
Sonora filibusters, including their leader were shot

ADJOURNMENT OF THE CHAMBERS.
At the commencement of the sitting of the Chem-
bar of Representatives on Saturday, the Minister of the In-
trice read a royal decree, dated that morning, adjourning
the Chamber sine di.. Immediately after the rending of this
decree the Chamber broke up amidst cries from members of
the Left of " Viva le Rol!" We do not know when, sor
tinder what circumstances (says Le Nord) the Chamba

prudence of the sovereign, who has now put an end to a
discussion that could not hese been continued without

On Saturday the Municipal Council of Brussels! appointed
a deputation of five of its members to vent upon the King
with an address, praying him to exercise his constitutional
privilege by removing the cause of the present excitement.
Great preparations continue to be made in Brussels to
meet any popular outbreak. Accounts! from Namur, Bruges!,
Liip, Antler? Mons, and other towns represent the ex-
citement to bs es great there es in the capital. The windows
of several of the buildings occupied by the Jertits have
been broken, end other manifestations of dislike to priestly
