intended to bring on the Committee of Supply as the

Secretary to the, Treasury if any arrangement could be

MILITIA BILL.

On the motion for considering this Bill as amended,
Colonel SII3THORP moved In lines 21 and 22 alter
the words " appointments to the rank of major," to
leave out the word " major," and insert the words
"captain or any higher rank." It was admitted
by two Governments that the militia was ne-
cessary, and he wished to make the force what It
ought to be. The militia was formerly kept up in a con-
stitutional and efficient manner, and he desired it should
be so for the future.
Mr. HUME said no amendment would reconcile him
to the Bill, which he protested against in tote. It was
impolitic and barbarous in these enlightened days to
estababh a system of conscription among the people;
eud he should not hesitate to avail himself of every op.
portunity to oppose a measure which involved such a
principle.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS also observed that nothing could
reconcile him to the measure. He bad been opposed to
it from the commencement; first, on the ground that our
military defences were sufficient; and, 2dly, that if they
were not, the militia would not supply the deficiency,
The system of ballot, as provided for in this clause, would
greatly embarrass the Government when it was put into
operation, for nothing was so cdicus and objectionable
to the people of this country as conscription in a time of
profound peace. The public had been grossly misled
to believe that the military force available for the defence
of the country was only one-half of its real numerical
extent.

Mr. WALPOLE said reasonable time would be given
by the Government for Hon. Members to consider the
eourso they should take on the third reading.
He would fix the third reading for Monday week,
In regard to the amendment of the Hen, and Gallant
Colonel, he should make certain alterations in the clause
which he thought would meet his objections.
The amendment 'was then withdrawn.
