LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1852.

Again the Militia Bill must be brought under the
eonsideretion of the House 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 means to allay
their anxiety as to the chances of invasion. Granted that
the defences of the country are inadequate ; granted
that a descent might he readily made upon one part
or other ofourcouts wihont some precautionary ar-
rangements ; granted that the bare possibility of such
a ca4arnity 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 as not adopt such prepos-
terous ideas as those of concentrating our defensive
._""g1Q1 upon a raw and hastily organized sys-
aem of m•a,• •
tte. If from no other motives,
let 11% at
least, in obedience to the ordinary
dictates of economy, endeaveur by some more rational
method to render those islands impregnable. A
moderate re-orgl,,,•zation of the militia were well
enough, of course, ;
constituting
merely. one among
the various defensive measuresr cared out by her
MAJESTY'S Crwernment.
rneaa:ut to make Lt the most
prominent of 311 those
,es WoUii be assuredly
in the hiiirt degree preposterous. How much larger.

he folly of rendering it not simply the
Fr)') s'aY of the county in
