Again the Militia Bill must be brought under the
consideraion of the Howe of Commons, the debate
of this evening giving fair promise of yet further
opposition. The more the question is scrutinized
the more appreciable, we feel assured, must necessa-
rily become its extravagance. Originating in a
momentary panic, the measure is being hurried for-
ward with the most blundering precipitation, its
advocates being blind to the real exigency of our posi-
tion, and striving thus by ineffectual mesas to allay
their anxiety as to the chances of invasion. Granted that
the defences of the country are inadequate ; granted
that a descent might be readily made upon one part
or other of our coasts without some precautionary ar-
rangements ; granted that the bare possibility of such
a calamity should be guarded against with the utmost
imaginable solicitude. But—in the name of common
sense, in the name of common honesty, in the name
of common prudence—let us not adopt such prepos-
terous ideas as those of concentrating our defensive
energies upon a raw and hastily organized sys-
tem of militia. If from ne other motives,
let us at least, in obedience to the ordinary
dictates of economy, endeavour by some more rational
method to render these i-lands impregnable. A
moderate re-organization of the militia were well
enough, of course, it constituting merely one among
the various defensive
measures carried out by her
mAiEsTY's Gavernment
But to make it the most
prominent of all those measures
would be assuredly

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 30.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
Lord REDESDALE presided on the Woolsack in tho
l'usence of the Lord ChancellOr.
GENERAL ROSAS.
Lord MALMESBURY, in answer to a question put
to him by a Noble Lord, stated that instructions had
been sent to the authorities at Portsmouth, to give
every facility to General Rosas in clearing his luggage,
Sic. It was simply a mark of courtesy due to any dis-
tinguished foreigner.
The Earl of ABERDEEN was of opinion that show-
ing any courtesy to General Roias would be considered
as sours degree of partizanship, which would have a mis-
chievous effect.

Lord BEAUMONT applauded the motives which had
actuated the British Government in this affair. The
Noble Lord did not consider it proper, because in
foreign countries we might be liable to misapprehension,
that we were entitled to show want of courtesy to a
foreigner who had tccupied the position of General
ROMS.

ITALY.

We learn by accounts from Turin of the 27th ult.,
that the chief of the Artillery bad just addressed to
the Minister of War a report, relative to the explo-
sion on the previous day, of the powder-magazine of
the Bourg Dora, from which we make the following
extracts :
" The powder exploded at the moment when the work-
men were quitting their work, viz., at a quarter before
twelve. The fire began spontaneously in a mixture of
blasting powder, communicating itself to two magazines,
each containing 5,000 kilogrammes of powder; thence it
passed to cases filled with 2,000 kilogrammes, and then
to 3,000 kilogrammes, spread in the open air.

I ITALY.
We learn by accounts from Turin of the 27th ult.,
that the chief of the Artillery bad just addressed to
the Minister of Wm' a report, relative to the explo-
sion on the previous day, of the powder-magazine of
the Bourg Dora, from which we make the following
extracts :
" The powder exploded at the moment when the work-
men were quitting their work, viz., at a quarter before
twelve. The fire began snontaneously in a mixture of
blasting powder, communicating itself to two magazines,
each containing 5,800 kilogrammes of powder; thence it
passed to cases filled with 2,000 kilogrammes, end then
to 3,000 kilogrammes, spread in the open air.
" The explosion of the latter set tire to two maga-
zines eentanoing gunpowder and bleating powder, ex-
ceeding in quantity 10,000 kilogrammes.

EXETER-HALL.

The Sacred Harmonic Society gave as a performance last
evening that superb composition the Elijah of Mendelsshon.
Mr. H. Phillips, to whom the arduous and sustained labour
of Elijah was entrusted, gave " The Lord bath exalted," and
the bold passages in the controversy with the priests of Baal
" Call him louder," and " 0 thou who makest," with great
force and judgment. Miss M. Williams was encored in the
air, " 0 rest in the Lord," and warmly applauded in her re-
citatives. The trio, " Lift thine eyes," by Miss Birch, Miss
C. Henderson, and Miss M. Williams, was also re-demanded
the flageolet-like sweetness of the; soprano, the delicate
roundness of the second, and the sound fullness of the third
voice, exciting enthusiasm in the coldest. Miss Birch and
Miss C. Hendersen— to whom the peculiar music of " the
Queen," beginning " Have ye not heard ?" was committed—
efficiently sustained their parts- Mrs. Temple, Mr. Lockey,
Mr. Perren, Mr. Collett, and Mr. Weeks also lent their aid
in concerted pieces. The introduction and chorus were ad-
mirable, as well as the band, under the leadership of Messrs.
Surman and H. Blagrove.

Mr. NAPIER said the Government had received II
report from Major Brownrigge on the subject of ribbon-
ism, and a Dublin newspip,,,r, in defiance of all previous
courtesy, had published its contents. The new,:paper
knew more of his intentions on the subject than he did
himself; but he could assure the House that the Go-
vernment had not yet made up ids mind on the subject of
the report.
The motion for the adjournment of the House was

The D aids, in its 13onrse article, says :
" Sixty, eight thousand out of the 80,000 bonds of the
Lyons Railway have born subscribed for, and the com-
pany has, it is said, decided on not negotiating the re-
maining 12,000, except at the rate of 1,125 g. The whole
of the bonds of the Northern Railway have been taken.
These two great companies certainly ought to congra-
tulate themselves on the success of their operation, and
it will probably facilitate the placing of the bonds of the
other, companies. The sums recently demanded from
the money market are estimated at 660 millions, the
calls for which aro divided over a term of two years.
The sums already paid, or to be paid in the present year,
amount to about 253 millions."

it appears that a donation of 5,700 Bibles had
been received from the Bible Society of New
York. The number of Bibles distributed during the
year was 8,217, the expense of which amounted to
27,921 f. Seventy-two Bibles and sixty New Testa-
ments had also been distributed by the Ladies' So-
ciety. The financial state of the society was afte-
wards made known to the members present, and the
president, in pointing out that it showed a deficit, be-
sought the friends of religion, and all zealous Pro-
testants, to come forward in its support, and use all
their endeavours to increase the number of its sub-
scribers, which now amounted to only 200.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,— In consequence of Easter falling at such different
periods in each year, perhaps the following may be useful to
Brighton and other shareholders, as a memento thereof, if
you will kindly accord it a place in your valuable journal.
I am, Sir, &c.,
A CONSTANT READER AND BRIGHTON
SHAREHOLDER.
London, April 30.

Aggregate Receipts in round numbers, of Brighton Rail-
way, for the 13th to 16th weeks inclusive, so as to take in
the Easter Holidays in each year:
In 1849, 41.769/. ; in 1850, 43,7914 ; in 1851, 48,0831. ;
in 1852, 49,265/. The less increase of 1852 over 1851 seems
solely owing to the South Eastern's recent opening of the
Hastings line; and that drawback now showing its full effect,
and that effect being simply to limit this year's increase Co
about 300/. per week in lieu of about 500/., as heretofore, it
would seem probable that in 1853, and subsequent years,
we shall again have about the old increase in cacti successive
year, particularly as the further you progress the less per
tentage is the given sum of say 5001. on the accumulated
takings, therefore the more easily obtainable for an almost
indefinite time, unless the population, were to decrease.
Should expenses remain the same these increases would, of
course, be net. This principle of increase, of course, applies
to all runways, and seems so far borne out by the facts.

FRANCE.

The French fleet has quitted Toulon, with five
months' provisions; it goes first to Algeria. The
English admiral is to ineerthe' English fleet at Mi="
norca, and sail thence for Gibraltar, where it will be
joined by some other ships, and set sail for Egypt
and the Levant. The French fleet will proceed to
the same destination after leaving Africa.
The Public, which only yesterday advocated a new
appeal to the people, has made a giant stride in ad-
vance to-day, and holds out the probability of the de-
finitive establishment of the Empire in twelve days
from this time, by the shouting of the soldiery in the
Champ de Mars. This article is the most striking
shadow of the coming event that has yet been seen.
The Akhbar of Algiers states that, in the night of
the Bth, the garrison of Tlemcen marched against the
Beni-Snassens, a Morocco tribe, to avenge the attack
150 killed, whilst
the loss
they had made on the Oulad Mellouk, a tribe of the
French territory. It was under the command of
General de Montauban. An engagement took place,
and the
of
B Beni-eSn
Frenchassen w
s had
as
only 10 killed or
wounded. The French cavalry alone were engaged,
the rapidity of the march being such that the infantry
could not keep up with them. A corporal of the
spahis who fell into the hands of the Beni-Snassens,
was literally hacked to pieces, and they divided his
flesh amongst them with a sort of ferociousjoy. The
column of General de Montauban returned to Tlem-
cen on the 12th. Another expedition of a more se-
rious character against the hostile tribe was expected.

SWEDEN.

Some rather serious disturbances occurred recently
iu Stockholm, in consequence of a Jewish tradesman
named Jecobsson having chastised a M. Stroem,
editor of a newspaper called the Folkets Roets
(the Voice of the People), for having published
an article grossly insulting him personally, and all
professors of the Jewish faith; Stroem having had
the art to excite the populace by representing him-
self as a victim of the enmity of the Jews to the
Christians. M. Jacobason commenced a prosecution
against Stroem for the libel, and the trial of the case
took place ten days ago before the Royal Court of
Stockholm. As the Swedish law requires the jury,
which consists of nine persons, to be chosen, three
by the court, three by the plaintiff, and three by
the defendant, and as it gives to all three the
power of objecting almost indefinitely to any of
the jurymen selected, it took a long time to form
a jury. The article complained of was read. It was
full of insults on Jacobson ; charged him, amongst
other things, with selling, in his trade of perfumer,
articles dangerous to the public health, and held him
up to contempt on account of his religion. The jury
at once brought in a verdict of guilty, and the Court
condemned Stream to the loss of honour, to make
publicly an amende honorable to M. Jacobson, to be
imprisoned 80 days on bread and water, and to pay
5,000 rix dols. (12,5000 as damages. It also ordered
him to pay the cosh. The imprisonment, though
nominally eighty days, will be ninety-six in reality;
as, by the Swedish law, every fifth day the accused
will be permitted to have the ordinary prison allow-
ance of food, instead of bread and water ; and such
day will not be counted as part of the punishment.

THE ARMY.

The Inspector-General of Cavalry, Maj or-General
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge', K.G., left
the Royal Hospital, Dublin, on Sunday evening for
England, having cmpleted his inspection of the regi-
ments of cavalry in Ireland. The officers of the 90th
Light Infantry entertained Lieut.-Colonel Vaughan at
dinner in Ship-street Barracks on Monday evening.
This respected officer is about to retire from the service
by the sale of his commission, and leaves here to-day
for England. After dinner, in duo course, the pre-
sident proposed " The Health of their Guest," which
was drunk with all the honours, and responded to by
Lieut.-Colonel Vaughan in a short but appropriate
speech, which was most warmly received. Lieut.-
Colonel Vaughan bears with him the good wishes of all
the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of
the regiment, to whom he has always acted as a kind,
considerate, and obliging commander. Brevet Lieut.-
Colonel Eld succeeds to the lieut.-coloneloy.
