DOWN WITH THE TIgES.

From the Examiner.
" Pat out the light—and then ?"

Some years ago the cry was that the power of the
Crown had increased, was increasing, and ought to be
diminished. It is held now in certain quarters, high and
.
low,, that the power of the press has increased, is increas-
ing, and ought to be diminished. The chief offender in
this excess being the Times, it is proposed, at the parti-
cular:desire of several persons of Manchester, to take
measures to compass the destruction of the said Times,
or at least to cripple it very considerably. But'why do
this in a roundabout way, involving in the injury other
properties that are net obnexio is either to Manchester
or Downing-street ? Why not set about the object
frankly, fairly, and directly Why not bring in a bill
of pains and penalties, settiuglorth the exorbitancy of
the power of the Times, and that no Ministry is safe
under it, and enacting *hat may be thought calculated
to render it less formidable ? There are various means
for this object besides those borrowed by Mr. Gladstone
from friend Bright. The stamp of the Times might be
doubled, or it might be denied transmission through the
post; or it might be forbidden to circulate more than a oer--
tain number kg copies. There have been restrictions on the
issues of the Bank, and why not on the Times, on the same
score of State necessity ? What better mode is there
of strengthening
the' ‘lovernment than to weaken the
Times, which is over it If after this deterring exam-
ple any paper aspires to --the power of the Times, the
proprietors will know what they have to expect, for a
bill may be brought in to deal with-the offender in the
same summary way. All that we contend for is the
limitation of the enaotnient to the rearaire.
Charles Lamb tells tin, of a sago. people who burnt
down a house whenever.ebey wanted to roast a_pig.. We
deprecate setting fire to tted enth.e Press Vifhe sole and
separate purpose of the Times brown. Put our con-
temporary on the spit and welcome, provided you spare
those who do not sin in the same way by overtopping
the Government en the one hand and controlling agita.
tors on the other. Make an example of the ringleader.
Hang him up, or put him to the reformation of penal
servitude--nay, servitude the worst of all, if you will,
servitude Ministerial—anything rather than derange a
whole body in order to disable one member, however large
an i potent. Once upon a time, as Rabelais prefaces, when
beasts coal-id speak, it was thought a meet meritorious
action to slay a giant ; and there is prevalent the same
opinion maw as to the giant of the press, which is
deemed, too big to be permitted to live, especially with
the prospect of growing still bigger. There is not room
enough in this broad land for bath Government and the
Times, and as we must have a Government, however
bad, we must not have a Times, however good. Haman
cannot suffer Mordecai in the gate.
An old. fable tells us of an ill-fsvoured youth who was
so displeased with his looking-glass that he dashed it to
the ground and shivered it to a hundred fragments, but
seeing his ugly features in each of the broken bits he
found he bad made the matter a hundred times worse,
and bitterly lamented that he had changed the single
unflattering reflection for the multiplied. Such is the
exact illustration of what Government is about in com-
passing small change for the limes. To kill the giant is
all very fum, but it is not always pleasant to live with
dwarfs.

And cost; ought to be considered when we are carrying
on the expenditure with vigour, whatever may be the
case with the war. Is it good thrift to burn down a house
producing nearly half a million a year in order to roast
your pig ? Surely the Times can be well dressed at a
less cost than this. Why, if it were put down, directly
abolished by Act of Parliament, the loss to the
revenue would not much exceed 50,0001. a year,
whereas the circuitous process proposed for the same
end entails a sacrifice of more than eight or nine times
that amount I Of all the modes of curing the peccant
journal of its plethora of strength, the most effective
would be to bring it under Government, instead of its
present place, over Government, and to put a Minister
in the management of it. That arrangement would rat-
tle it down to the ground more, quickly and completely
than any other that can be devised. It would then ,re-
main to be seen whether Government could get on with
the rest of the press, or whether the press is really so
much ahead of the Government in ability and in its bold
on the public confidence, that measures fur abating its
efficiency and influence are indispensable to the credit,
comfort, and repose of any and every Administration.
If the alternative be a less able press* in default of
an abler Government, we must all submit to our
fate, and give place to the American press, which is
to minister to, or, in the common phrase, to do for,
the English monarchy. The superiority, of which
there is now such jealousy, impatience, and hate,
will then be at an end certainly ; but with journals
level to the meanest capacity may come something
not a jot' less troublesome- than the superiority got rid
of, and Government may find after all that it has not
mended its strength by weakening public intelligence
without weakening public passions.
The Chancellor of the Excheluer has found it impossi-
ble to adhere to his predecessor's plan for revoltionizing
the press and turning it bottom upwards, and he hai an-
nounced his intention of proposing other resolutions.
Acting upon his own better judgment, we are sure that
Sir Cornewall Lewis would drop that scheme altogether,
and leave well alone. There are things that cannot be
well done, because of the wrong inherent in them. The
new resolutions, we too much fear, will be like the tools
in the Crimea, which have this peculiarity, that the new
are as bad as the old, and that one hatchet which will
not cut is replaced with another with the same infirmity,
and that one pickaxe that breaks off at the handle upon
the first provocation is replaced by another which strikes
work in precisely the same abrupt fashion. There is this
difference, however, that the resolutions are likely to cut
only what it may be undesirable to cut, as the wont
tool, which may be too blunt to hew a block of wood,
may be thoroughly efficient for the purpose of killing a
man.

For nearly forty years the English cavalry has
been officered exclusively by wealthy men. How-
ever well qualified for that branch of the service,
an individual who had not a tolerably large private
fortune would have been considered 'insane if he
had asked for a commission in the Dragoons. , The

are taken into
. consideration, it will be allowed that
a eavalr3-commission is not to be-thought of by apeOr
man. No; according to the English militarycreed,
and according to the custom which has reigned
supreme since the termination of the last war,.the
regiments of Dragoons, Dragoon Guards, Light
Dragoons, Lancers, and. Hussars, are intended
solely as colleges where rich young men can pass
away pleasantly the six or seven years which inter-
vene between their leaving public schools and set-
tling down to marry, or look after the paternal
acres. -Every cavalry 'corps has an adjutant and
a riding-master, men who, in most cases, have risen
from the ranks. Are not these two officers enough _
to help the colonel to look after the regiment ? Of
course they are. What need therefore of captains
and subalterns—who have paid large sums for their
commissions—worrying themselves about discipline
or drill ? Should the commanding officer not give
too much trouble, matters go on pleasantlyenough.
The adjutant looks after the' field-days and the con-
dubt of the men, the riding-master after his own
department, the veterinary surgeon takes care of
the health of the horses the doctor of that of the
men. The captains and subalterns hunt, dress,
shoot, go on leave, and from- first to last duty is
made as easy as possible to all parties..; But should
the colonel be such a misguided individual as to
expect all the officers under him to know their
work, and require them to perform' the same, mat-
ters assume a very different aspect. The regiment
gets a bad name in the military market ; commis-
sions don't sell so high as they do in more favoured
corps ; officers exchange and sell out continually,
giving money to go into pleasanter regiments, and
other gentlemen are brought in, only again to ex-
change or retire from the service.
Let us see how this system works in the army—
let us test the results of having our cavalry for
forty years in the hands of exclusively rich and
aristocratic officers.

Against the personal bravery of no portion of the
English army can a word be said. But is courage
the only requisite in a soldier ? Certainly not—
least of all in a cavalry officer. It is said that
two years' training are requisite to make a perfect
dragoon of a private recruit ; how much more
must the careful study of his profession be requi-
site to qualify properly him who has to lead.
the troop or squadron ? The care of horses,
and how to look after them in the field ; the
weight the dragoons ride, and the best way
of taking off part of that weight ; the feeding,
grooming, and shoeing of horses, under all pos-
sible circumstances ; the most effectual manner of
protecting them against the weather when deprived
of shelter—all these are but a few items of what
aoueoghutplteo
offorymeatrhse
bs
et
fuodrye
otfheyyou enngterinethnef°sreravticleeaftsi
cavalry officers. Add to the foregoing the know-
ledge required by every dragoon officer when once
mounted and before the enemy—the how and the
when to attack, the best manner of forming reserve
or supporting lines, the most effectual way of fol-
lowing up a retreating enemy, or withdrawing
without loss from one too strong to be aitacked
with any hOpe of success—and some slight idea
may be formed by civilians that many qualifica-
tions beyond mere animal courage are required by
men who aspire to be good cavalry officers.
Let any impartial man read over the evidence
given by Lord Lucan, the other day, before Mr.
Roebuck's committee, and then say whether the
last forty years of our cavalry training has
produced what the public had every right to ex-
pect. It is all very well to blame the Oommis-
sariat officers, and we would be the last to cast
a veil over their gross mismanagement in so
many cases during the present war ; but it would
be in every way unjust to attribute solely to Mr.
Filder and his subordinates the state in which Lord
Lucan describes our cavalry to have been when
he left the Crimea. If Lord Raglan was competent
to command an army going on service, he must
have known -that when horses have been accustomed
to stables for many years, they would require in the
field some covering warmer than the hair furnished
by nature. The brigades of cavalry should never
have been allowed to leave England without a pro-
per supply of horse-clothing, nose-bags, pegs, ropes,
and other requisites. Had the commanding and
other officers of cavalry been aware of the duties
they would be called upon to perform in the East
—had they been possessed of any practical know-
ledge of their profession—representations respect-
ing the want of these articles would have been sent
to the proper authorities, and would, no doubt, have
met with every attention. But both Lord Raglan
and the leaders;of the cavalry division, brigades and
regiments, seem to have proceeded to the Crimea
trusting a great deal to chance, and the rest to Pro-
vidence. The horses of both the Russians and French
dragoons—we don't include the Arab homes of the
Chasseurs d'Afriq no, which were no doubt snore ac-
customed to roughing it—seem to have been in very
much better condition than those of the English
cavalry, simply because they were better looked
after, and were under the eyes of officers who knew
what they were about. At the present day, the
French dragoons iu the Crimea take the whole duty
of patrolling for the Allied army, and their horses
are, comparatively speaking, in excellent condition.
The magnificent English cavalry regiments which
left this country about a year ago now exist but in
name. One corps can muster but three horses ;
another has only twenty fit for duty. Two heavy
regiments—the 4th and sth Dragoon Guards—are
so weak in numbers that for some months they
have been amalgamated as one corps, and that
united corps cannot muster sixty effective cavalry
soldiers. In short, we have at this moment no
cavalry whatever in- the Crimea, and not less than
120,0001. has been lost to the country from the
number of horses that have perished from mis-
management since the war began.
For a state of affairs like this who is to blame I
We reply that, individually, every officer who had

hitherto pursued in the cavalry branch of the ser-
vice. That service has been for twice twenty years
a mere fashionable plaything, with which moneyed
men have amused themselves, between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-six. So much for the cause—
the effect we see in the present state of our dragoon
regiments before Sebastopol. As a man saws, so
must he reap ; and nations are not exempt from this
universal law. Since the last war, we have allowed

FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—Yesterday Morning, at an
early hour, a fire broke out on the (premises occupied by
Mr. William Murrell, hay salesman, 65, Russell-street,
Bermor.diey. The storehouses, stables, and sheds, about
90 feet by 40, were burned down, and six horses burned
to death. The adjoining premises, occupied by Mr.
Traffey, manure dealer, Mr. Hook Cooper, and Mr.
Horne, currier, were considerably damaged. The cause
of the fire is unknown. Mr. Murrell was bunted in the
Monarch office, and Mr. Hook in the Pbcenix. The
others were not insured.

A Belgian artist, named Van Lerius, has brought to
this country a picture of Adam and Eve, his own pro-
duction, which is being exhibited at 57, Pall-mall. The
composition represents them reclining—Adam buried in
profound sleep, and Eve just awakening . while Satan,
with the serpent, is seen behind. The figures, which
are life size, are disposed with elegance, and the general
effect of light and shade is pleasing. Some slight devia-
tions from correct drawing are, however, visible in the
left arm of Adam and the right band of Ere. The
artist's conception of Satan is not very happy. He has
made him too mean and commonplace a fiend. Of the
colouring of this picture it is itapossible to judge, as it
is ealibitod by artiAoial light.
