MILITIA BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Petidons were presented against it by Lord B. Gros-
venor, from the S tit ty of Friends; by Mr. T. Duncombe,
from Finsbury; by Mr. Hume. from Aberdeen; by Mr.
M. Gibson. from Manchester; by Mr. J. Williams, from
Berkhameted; by Mr. Ewart, from Liverpool; by Mr.
Cobilsn, from St. Helen's, Sunderland, and Manchester;
and by Mr. Cardwell, from a body of the Society of

terest in the Haute, if we might judge from the large

other distinguished strangers who were present. Under

not only that, but many of the high' at naval and mili-
tary nutheritiee had concurred in that recommendation.
It svpu;cl appear that some apprehension existed of an
invasion from some quarter. Both the present and the
late Government were ot opinion that some steps should
be taken for this purpose; but other equally great
authorities took an opposite view, showing the great
uncerteinty that existed upon this point, He did not
objeot to the purposes for which the present measure
waa brought forward, but he objected to it because
it would not effect the object they appeared to have in
view. He regretted the Government did not take up
the measure brought forward by the Noble Lord's (J.
Russell's) administration, as be would have preferred it
to the present Bill. He did not approve of the militia-
men being removed from their own localities. He ob
jecttd also to the expense et bounties; and he believed
that the system would have the effect of discouraging
volunteers. It was said that the expense of the present
measure would be 400,000/. The cost of the 811 of the
late Government was only 200,0001., and this of itself
would be an argument in favour of the latter. But tor
the force no. propos. d he did not believe that even the
larger sum would suffi :e. He did not objsct to an ade-
quate increve of our defences, but he believed the put
pese could be answered without arty addition to the esti-
mats, (meat all events, with only half the expense of the
present measure. Ho was persuad-d that it was poss -
b's at this small cost to have a regular militia force of
20,000 men really t-ff ctive. Aud then, again, much
might be dune by concentrating our means of defence,
and especially by withdrawing a considerable portion of
our troops from the colonies. Great numbers of troops
were scattered in small detachments in our colonies
where they could be of no use, while if they were con
ceotratA at home they could form a strong army. At
New Brunswick, for
example, there, was a regiment; for
what pupose?—(llear.) So, in Canada, in there were
.even regiments; for what purpose?—(Hear, hear.)
Such email scattered °ode s of troops were of no use fit
the defeuce of our Colonies; and if collected in this
c iuntry would amount to upwards of 20,000 men.—
(Hear.) Even, however, if all this were fallacious, so
s sti,fi -d was he of the inefficiency of the present measure
that he should prefer ae increase of the regular force.—
(Hear.) It was said, indeed, that if the troops of the
colonies were ordered home a party in this country
would clamour for their being disbsiided. But ho could
not canceive any Government adopting such an tug '-
meat as that —implying that they were afraid to d what
was right, for tear of an agitation for what was wrong.
—(Hear) If the present circumeeences of Europe ren-
dered the nailitia necessary, of course no portion of our
regular force could bo disband-d. At all events he thought
that the present period was net appropriate for
the consideration of the qiesti in. He did not concur in
the ex. remely alarming views which had bees expressed
upon the subject. IL altogether denied the representa-
tion circulated as to the facility with which forces coal
be embarked for the iuvasien of this country, and disem-
barked upon our waits. From his own experience he
could testify that such operations w..re • extremely diffi-
cult. In the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington
cases had occurred strikingly illuetrattve of this. In one
instance 12,000 men hat been ten days effectingsa land-
ing, and twenty days before they had advanced sixty
miles into the country. He, therefere, disbelieved all
those accounts by which it way endeavoured to make out
that a French. force could easily land on our southern
coast, march to London, and occupy 6.Beigrevia" without
diffi •ulty. It had been said that wl had only 25,0,i0
troops available upon an ewergenoy of this kind. But
he maintained that we had 59,000 regular fro fps in the
United Kingdom, without inoluding our 5.000 marines--
as fine a totes as any in the world—and 4 000 men to
be brought from our colonies, which would mike up
67,000. Nu. was this all. There were 16,000 pen-
stoners, old soldiers who could be relied upon on the
field of !Heel°, and this would make no 85,000 regular
troops Co which must be added 103 guns) in the UnitedKt Kingdom. And even this did not comprise our total
force. There were 8,000 m.n enrolled in
