THE SUN,

OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sea,—The remarks you have lately so judiciously
ma de on a Memorandum published by Ridgway, on
the necessity of a Minister of War for our de ensive
as well as offensive operations, have drawn my par-
ticular attention to the subject ; and I find, on read
ing over some of ,the old reports of Military Com-
missioners, that as far back as 1837 it was reported—
That if the military defence of the empire i 3 to be
condacted'upon a footing of economy and efficiency,
it is necessary that it should be managed upon one
general and comprehensive system, having reference
to the exigencies of the service both at home and
abroad. The whole amount of force which is re-
quired to be kept up is determined, not merely by the
quota necessary for the defence of each colony, and
by the demands for home service, but is also affected
by the description of force assigned to the several
stations, and the nature and situation of the
barracks provided, the arrangements respect-
ing reliefs, and those of the commissariat
and medical departments, on which the efficiency of
the troops so greatly depends. Such being the case,
it appears obviously expedient that there should be
some one member of the Government particularly
charged with the duty of exercising a general super-
intendence and control in all these matters, and to
whom it should more immediately belong to take the
pleasure of the Crown upon annual establishments,
and to be responsible to Parliament for the advice so
given by him." And yet, Sir, so little attention has
been paid to this important matter, that in 1852 we
find ourselves without defence, and the people called
upon to turn out as militia men. In 1850, that is
ten years after the necessity of reform in our naval
and military administration, we find Earl Grey
quietly stating in his evidence—
" I certainly think the present system a very im-
perfect one ; but I am not prepared to say that I
think it is one of the defects which are most
pressing for correction. There have always been
subjects, I think, of still more pressing im-
portance before the public hitherto." Of course there
have my Lord Grey—it is necessary to say that to
excuse the great culpability of the neglect paid to
this recommendation of ten years' standing "It is
a subject," adds his Lordship, " that cannot be dealt
with without an Act of Parliament ; it would lead to
very lengthy discussions ; and, looking at the general
state of things in this country, I do not think that it
has hitherto been a subject so pressing as other inte-
resting, though subordinate subjects, with which we
have been dealing."
Indeed, my Lord; then it is high time that it
should be considered of more importance. And now
you are out of office, perhaps you can find time to
draw up this Act of Parliament, for it is no joke for
the country to pay 16,000,0001. and upwards, and
then be without internal or external defence.
I hope, Mr. Editor, you will strongly protest
against this Militia Bill, and warn Earl Derby in
time, for I know, from information I have, that the
men of the north will not turn out fur a militia. We
all agree with you in a desire to give the present
men a fair trial, but we want no militia.
I am, Sir, &c.,
Bolton, ,March 12. JOHN WILSON.

PRIEST-WORSHIP versus THE

WORSHIP OF GOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—On the eve of a general election, I trust you
will think it opportune to gibbet, in your admirable and
most extensively read columns, ;the subjoined morceau
of correspondence, : extrtacted from the columns of the
Pussyite Oxford Herald, of the 13th current. If Pu-
seyism could t, prevail, the Test and Corporation Acts
would be repealed, public penance revived, and all the
enormities of Roman Catholic discipline and intolerance
go forward, till civil war relieved us, or the Inquisition
rivetted onr chains'. No less results are involved in any,
however ,temporary, success of the bastard Roman Ca-
tholicism, which triumphs in " Church discipline," and
all the devilish et cceteras of Tractarian treason.
