MILITIA MARKSMEN:
The main object to bo attained in drilling the tailitia
seems to be that which has been so signally neglected
in the education of our soldiers,—the making them good
marksmen. This, with a few very simple evolutions,
would probably be all that is required for a defensive
force. The great improvement in the range and ac-
curacy of firearms, by obliging armies to keep at a
respectful distance from each other, and to trust much
more to the rifle than the bayonet or the sabre, will pro-
bably diminish the value of complicated evolutions, and
make enormous inroads into the art of the tactician.
The brilliant charge of columns and the shattering dash
of cavalry in which Napoleon delighted, and which he
was wont to reserve for the grand finale of hie great
battles, would seem hardly possible against an enemy
able to load and fire several times with the deadliest
effect upon the advancing mass before it can possibly
re et it
make itself felt. The whole art of war must be revolu-
tionized. What the change will be can hardly be known
:111 the war comes, but it is extremely likely that the

NOVEL IMPROVEMENT IN OMNlBUSES.—Yesterday
another specimen of the improvements which can be effected
in this species of public conveyance was exhibited in Guild-
hall-yard, to Aldermen Wilson, Lawrence, Sir R. Carden, the
City Comptroller, and several other gentlemen of influence,
by whom it appeared to be highly approved. This omnibus
has been constructed by Messrs. Gowar to run between the
Norwich Railway station and the Bell Hotel in that city, but
is equally applicable for London. The chief novelties and
improvements consist in a reduction of the ordinary weight
of such vehicles, and at the same time giving greater inter-
nal space, with ample ventilation, and greater facility of
