ANOTHER ARTILLERY CORPS.

Mr. Hamilton, the well-known zinc merchant, of this'
town, and a large employer of labour at the Windsor,
Foundry and Ironworks, Edgehill, being desirous of,
aiding the patriotic movement now on foot, resolved to
,raise a corps of artillery from amongit 'his workmen,
and he hail no difficulty in securing the services of about
sixty able-bodied-men—remarkably fine—looking fellows
—who yesterday took the oath of allegiance to the
Queen, in the presence of William Brown, Esq., one Of
the borough magistrates. The men were very desirous
of rendering their services to their country, and were
most enthusiastic when Mr. Brown appeared amongst
them.

Mr. BROWN, in addressing the noble fellows, said they
would not be expected to leave home, but would be
dritled for local service by the proper officers, who
would be sent down. from London specially to give diem
artillery drill. He had been informed by the authorities
that they would -send down proper officers, and he
expected them down in Liverpool every day. Mr.
Brown told the men it via§ most desirable that they
should enrol themselves, as the service would be More
of an honorary than of an actual character, and
that their interest was quite as deep as that of
the wealthier part of the community in 'the pre-
servation of peace, because if any ' inyasion should
unhappily, talce:_place,, the copseqUence Would, be that
capital and credit would disappear,. and the capitalist
would cease to be able to employ artisans and. work-
people. He pointed out that those who 'depended upon
their weekly 'wages for the itippott of their families
would be the greatest sufferers, and' ihat the man of
property might be able to Neather the storm for a
long period. For men of the formor class to be without
the means of maintaining their families would be a
deplorable matter, and therefore it behoved- them to
arm, and by arming deter the common foe froM attack-
ing their country.

, The men received what Mr. Brown had said with a
great deal of attention, and loudly cheered him.
Mr. W,GuFrni, the foreman, said a few words to the
men. He had heard Mr. Brown's remarks, and con-
curred with him as to the desirability of the men join-
ing a corps of volunteers. He had no doubt when the,
officers were appointed to the corps, that they would.
take the men away from their business, as little as pos-
sible. Mr. MOuffin concluded by expressing an opinibn.
that there' were rooms in the foundry which would
answer the purposes of drill-rooms very well.
The proceedings terminated with three cheers for Mr.
Brown.
