THE REV. J. E. GLADSTONE.
THE GLADSTONE PROTESTANT DEFENCE FUND.
At a Meeting in the School-room of the Episcopal Chapel, Long-
acre, it was unanimously resolved that the sentiments expressed by
the Rev. J. E. Gladstone, in'his Sermon of Dec. 7, 1851, namely—
" That the Bishop of this Diocese (London) is alarmingly responsible
and fearfully culpable for what passes In it," are the truth ; this
lifeettng does now form itself into a Committee, with power to add
to its numbers, to watch proceedings now pending in the Ecclesias-
teal Court between the itishop of London and the Rev. J. E. Glad.
stone, with a view to assist the latter gentleman as far as may lie in
their power. Also, that the Committee, concelvin: the agitation of
the Tractarian question to be of vital importance to the interests of
the Protestant Faith in this country, proposes to raise a fend for the
purpose of supporting the cause of the Rev. .1. E. Gladstone, such
fund to be called " The Gladstone Protestant Defence Fund."
All who are friendly to the above cause are respectfully invited to*l
co-operate, and are informed that stescription lists will be opened in
a few days, and regularly appointed collectors nominated. The
Committee win meet This Evening (Monday), Feb. 16, and every
Monday Evening, at the School-r,oms, Chapel-court, Long-acre,

ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS.
This is the first defined plan for Mining in Australia, distinguished
by the following recommendations
I. It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of
Independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted with such
occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at corn-
Mend all requisite machinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise
attainable.
2. It will facilitate the emigration of persons associated with this
Company for Mining purposes, more especially by procuring, at the
earliest available moment, the grand desideratum of cheap steam
"nveYanee ; and the arrannements of this Company preclude all
tisk of loss in respect of any abandonment of engagements on
the part of the emigrants.
3. The Company is free to select its ground of operations wherever
the direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results.
4. The Peculiar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this under-
taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties (that
being fixed at not less than 75 per cent. of the net produce of their
labour), and the mutual security, protection, and economy of the
alsteMatic co-operation contemplated by the project.
5. To Shareholders, besides the large auticpated returns on their
capital, the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book
Are alto secured, viz.:—
Exemption from the Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act,
and from the ordinary law of partnership.
Direct and constant control, at the bi-monthly- meetings, over
the Company's affairs.
:NS personal responsibility of Shareholders for any act but
their own.
6. An appdcation will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the
Powers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great
Public utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the
Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company.
The Prospectus may be obtained at the offices; and applications
for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be
addressed to the Committee.

The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur-
chase some of the large and yatpahle.astates in the West of Ireland,
Which are now in the market; and to improve and let on lease, or
-resell the same. -
In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such
easy terms, and with such present and prospective advantages.
At no former period has so favourable an opportunity been pre-
sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland. • -
It is a strange but unquestionable truth, that at the present mo-
ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable land may
be bought In Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are
compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial-hack settlements.
Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent
the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value
generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope-
less by English capitalists to seek permanent Investments there,
especially as the number of pamper tenants, in many instances, was
so great as to make the Estates •almost valueless, and to prevent
all attempts. at the introduction of an improved system of agri-
culture.
The successful operation of the Encumbered ,Estates' Court, the
remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population
exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate
that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difflOuhy in
the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re-
move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise- in that
quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the
mere force of circumstances.
The province of Connaught has been chosen because it off trs un-
questionably a preeminently suitable field tbr the purposes of the
Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal,
and tractable character of its inhabitants.
Practical Agriculturists, Travellers,' and Tourists of all Nations
have concurred in bearingtestimony to the- unparalleled scope for
remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo,
Sligo, Roscommon, and Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade-
quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve-
lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured
district abounds.
The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch
farmers have not been induced to take advantage of this s;plendid
opening for the profitable employment of their. skill and morn ty, has
been their reluctance to become isolated settlers' in a country where
their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation
of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en-
tertain considerable apprehension for else safety of their persons and
property, without the co-operation and protection of men posseissing
like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of sizailar
objects.
The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid bi!fore
the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro-
position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement and colonizatio n of
Coenaught.
The absence of Markets has hitherto done much to deter per sons
from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in
the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient
internal communication and means of intercourse with the use tro-
Polls ; the latter impediment to progress has already been retnoved
in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navi
cation
of the Shaenon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of -a line
of :Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable n taliza-
lion of the long-desired steam communication :with Amer lea- is
another obvious source of a hitherto unknown- prosperity.
The most effectual mode of promoting a better system of Af cri cul-
ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with. the mainsf acture
of its
of own productions
Commercialoductions the
Plants,eCompany will therefore encoura. re 'the
growth
sive and highly remunerative Manufaacstmuraey form the basis of t!.x ten-
s.
It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Con al any
should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more n ta.ture
deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, as atl de-
vote its attention to the reclaiming, improvement, and resell is ig of
'land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all
the means in its power the cultivation of root and textile playas so
peculiarly suited to the soil and Climate of WeStern Ireland', as'
Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c...
It is needless to insist upon 'the great advantages' of a It( syel
Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is, limited to the
amount of his shares, but even were this out of the quest dots, it
would be difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of
capital than improvable land at its present prices in Western Ir ehind.
A clause in the Charter provides for the allocation of one-I of firth
of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to b e ex-
pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming., and
generally improving and rendering marketable the estates uf the
Company.
it is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the
Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the
shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases.
The Directors feel that it does not become them to speak ,of the
amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestow ed. in
framing a plan at once 'practicable in its details, 'and wort by 01
public confidence, but they think that it ought to bo known as a fact
calculated to encourage those who embark their capital in th is un-
dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many N Odds
have been submitted to the Board of Trade, whose professed olajects
and proposed operations have met the approbation of her Maj, ms ty s
Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and tine ap-
pointment of a Government Auditor.-
In a review of Mr. Digby Seymour's recent work* on W,a3teria
Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 1852), after, stating., that
the Reviewer's intention was ti treat the question o simply as a
financial one," thus emphatically proNunces its opinion upon the
present scheme, " We believe it has a claim on the attenti Ma of
capitalists that will ensure its success." Other authorities al xand
in expressions of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel t h.at a
simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects (se the
present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any
argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception- with a
discerning public.

INDIA AND CHINA.

IA summary of the following, received by Electric
Telegraph, appeared in our paper of Saturday:—]
We havo received by express from Marseilles our dis-
patches in anticipation of the Overland Mail, which loft
Bombay on the 17th ult., and Hong-Kong on the 30th of
December.
The following is the letter of our correspondent at
Bombay :
" The Burmese are said to have shown the white
feather, and to have acceded to the demands made by
our Government. What these may have been is not
known. The steamer Tenasserim reached Calcutta on
the 6th, bringing iutelligenee of the fact above stated,
and dispatches from Commodore Lambert for the Go-
verner-General,
re-
main a secret. On is 7
Golden-footed Majestythe purport of which will of course
--ew Year's-day the answer of his
to the Governor-General's dis
patch was delivered to Commodore Lambert; together
-
with a reply from the Ministers at Ave to the gallant
officer's own address, This letter contained expressions
of sorrow that any misunderstanding should have hap-
pened between the British and the Burmese through the
misconduct of the Governor of Rangoon—stating that
that functionary had been recalled to Ava, and that
the two Deputy-Governors were to conduct the duties
of Government till a successor to the one now removed
should be appointed. The, overnor of Promo was to
inquire into the charges preferred against the disgraced
ruler, and indemnify all British subjects for injuries
sustained at his hands, and to exert himself to
re-establish friendly: relations with us. The Prome
Governor, was expected to reach Rangoon by the sth,
when matters would most robably be settled satisfac-
torily. The necessity fft appointment of a consular
agent at Rangoon to Prat our interests, or rather
those of the British residents at that town, was urged on
Commodore Lambert by the residents, and there is no
doubt of their recommendation being attended to. All
Rangoon, for doubts would
tosteheemshi
good faith of the Burmese
Sovereign, owing to the alacrity with which all our de-
mands had been acceded to. As many as 100,000 sol-
diers are said to have been mustered at Rangoon and
p ships of
entertained war
remained
o f theoff
elsewhere ready to do battle, when the letter of the So-
vereign put an end to all warlike preparations. Com-
modore Lambert's conduct during the recent proceed-
ings has been highly praised for coolness, forbearance,
and determination. It is to be hoped that all necessity
for a resort to hostilities has been put an end to, for no
good end could be gained from fighting by either party;
if we get everything we demand without expense and
bloodshed so much the better. A correspondent of the
Calcutta Englishman gives the following account of the
presentation of the King's letter to Commodore Lambert
on board the Fox frigate:—
" The scene on shore at the wharf opposite the fri-
gate, when the letters were brought down, was well
worth seeing, but requires a better pen than mine to
describe with full effect. There were armed men sta-
tioned on both sides of the road, as far as the eye could
reach, in the most grotesque and mixed uniforms. A
discharge of heavy guns was heard in the distance,
which we knew to be at the Governor's house, from the
position of the smoke, and also that they were intended
as a salute to the letter, most probably at the moment of
its departure. It about 25 minutes after, three splendid
elephants were observed coming towards the wharf, with
two or three people on each howdah, and eight golden
umbrellas. All the other wharfs along the river were
crowded with spectators. The elephants were brought
close to the wharf ,when they knelt down and the riders
dismounted; after a. short delay, three boats were seen
approaching the frigate in lino, and in them officers of
different ranks, several of whom came on board, while
their boats shoved off to make room for the fourth boat,
bearing the letters, which were placed in the bows, to
prevent any one being in front of them, and shaded from
the, sun by three golden umbrellas.'
"The forces ordered to assemble at Roree, in Upper
Scinde, are all on their way. What the object of its as-
semblage can be is matter of conjecture. Ali Moored,
of Rhyrpore, has not the least intention of opposing us,
and is encamped at Roree, awaiting the arrival of the
Commissioner to learn what it is all about, offering to
bring his contingent to operate with us, as be imagines
we are bent on something. Mr. Frere left Kurachee on
the 29th of December, and Kotree for Roree on the 10th.
General Manson, on whom the command of the force has
devolved, left Hyderabad on the same day for the same
destination. The Kuraohee troops, under Brigadier
Stopford, , 64th Foot, were encamped at Hyderabad,
awaiting orders to move upwards. The Mooltan brigade
moved out of that city on the 3d, under Brigadier
Hewitt, and was to move down on Khyrporc, via Baha-
wulpore and the Indus. The ruler of Herat is said to
have solicited our aid to prevent himself from being de-
posed by Dost Mabonaed of Cabul, and that this is the
cause of the assemblage of troops in Upper Scinde, whence
they will prneeed to Herat. This is extremely improba-
ble; we had enough of such folly in 1839.42, to prevent
our embroiling ourselves again in Central Asia, un-
less destiny' is again at work urging us on. The force
which will shortly be congregated at Roree will be as
follows:—Her Majesty's 64th Foot, Ist troop of Bom-
bay Horse Artillery, Ist company of Sappers and
Miners, Brett's Battery of Bombay Artillery, a company
of Bengal European Artillery, the 2d Scinde Horse, the
sth Bengal. Irregular Cavalry, the Ist and 15th Bombay
and 12th and 41st Bengal Native Infantry—in all pro-
bably full 6,500 men The siege train is also in prepa-
ration at Sukkur, which certainly gives some colouring
to the idea that we are about to proceed somewhere and
do something, but where and what are profound secrets.
The invalids of her Majesty's regiments from the Pune
jaub and north-west reached Hyderabad by the Indus on
the Bth and 9th, and left on the 10th for Kurachee,
where the Berenice and Auckland steamers await their
arrival to bring them on to Bombay. The troops
throughout the coup try were healthy; the weather was
bitterly cold, ice being found on the water every
morning.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LevEurooe, FEB. 14.—At yesterday's market the business
was again limited in every article of the grain trade. Tuesday's
quotations were continued, as holders were indisposed to make
any concession of consequence, nor is there the least change
to -day.
MANCHESTER, FEB. 14.—N0 material change has occurred
in the state of the trade during the week, a very inactive feeling
having continued to prevail, but without any disposition on the
part of holders to relax in prices. Increased supplies of oats
and oatmeal gont Ireland have been received at Liverpool and
Runcorn, but of other articles thence, or of any other produce
coastwise, the imports are very light. From abroad not a
single entry of wheat has been reported, the only arrivals con-
sisting of about 1,000 sacks of French and 400 barrels of Ame-
rican flour, and 4,000 quarters of Indian corn. At our market
this morning-, with a very limited amount of business passing,
there was much disinclination manifested to give way in prices ;
still where sales occurred in either wheat or lour the turn
must be noted slightly in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal
firmly supported the currency of this day se'nnight.
NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 14.—The supply of wheat at our
market to-day was less than on last Saturday, and the trade
was firm at the prices of that day. The supply of barley was
not large, but the maltsters got the price down l s per quarter.
Of oats there was a good show, without change in value.
New beans were rather dearer.
At Woodbridge wheat was firm, but barley was reduced Is.
At Bury both wheat and barley maintained their rates ;
clover-seed was cheaper.
At Stowmarket good wheat sold quite as dear ; inferior
samples were dull, but not cheaper.
On Thursday, at the great barley-market of Herts, Bishop's
Stortford, barley was 6d per quarter cheaper.
DUBLIN, FEB. 13.—We continue to have a small supply of
farmer's wheat with scarcely any prime quality, and we make a
reduction of 6d per barrel in our extreme quotations of Tuesday.
Superior samples of barley ae,l oats maintained their prices,
but ether descriptions met a dull sale, and lower rates were
submitted to. Very little doing in foreign wheat, and Indian
corn dull without change in price.
DALKEITH, FEB. I-2.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were lBst 51b, 18st 01b, and 16st
111 b. Oats, 12st 131 b, 12st 4114'and lOst 81b. Barley, 16st 31b,

connexion with Western Ireland :--
" A Land Company, possessing a large tract of country, lest abish-
ing the best system of Agriculture, working its Mines and Fish( ries
if such there were—introducing new and important manufact,ares—
its whole economy administered by-men of skill, rectitude, aid per-

ing permanence of employment—opening fresh markets in conse-
quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing an ample
capital, could effect—ineurnhered by no poor-rates, because er nploy-
ing the poor—toe powerful for the attempts of petty prejudice s--too
self-reliant to be deterred from its path by intimidation—ulainflu-
enced itself by sectarianism, in politics or religion, and offering no
impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling
of all by its practical patriotism—possessing the advantage of
united counsels and associated energies—attracting to itself the
hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community—able in
its collective capacity to approach the Government with such claims
to a favourable attention as no private individual could advance—

each cost 12 lass of rupees, or 120,0001. sterling. The

CORK, FEB. 13.
The supplies of native grain are small and continue to be
taken at full prices. Oats indeed are eagerly purchased at a
further advance of 4d per barrel on black—the receipts for the
week consist of 530 barrels of wheat, 808 of barley, and 4,883
of oats. The operations in the prepared and foreign market
have been very limited, prices, however, rule about the same.
We quote Marianople wheat 25s 6d to 263; Ghirka, 255 to
25s 6d; Polish Odessa, 23s 6d to 24s 6d per barrel. The
flour trade is dull, but quotations are not lowered. Bakers are
in good stock, and until their requirements again bring them
forward, we do not look for much animation in this article.
Indian corn has receded about 2s 6d per ton on the week, and
the active demand which hitherto began in this month has not
as yet manifested itself. Coarse and inferior four seems gra-
dually being substituted for it. We write Galata, 7153;
'brad, 71; and Ancona, 61 15s per ton, with a small demand.

" The weather at Bombay is now delightfully cold, and
Europeans enjoy it much; but it is causing the death of
numbers of the poorer class of natives, who are badly
clothed and worse housed, cholera being very prevalent,
caused by bad food and exposure to the cold.
" Trade has been languid during the fortnight, and
prices of manufactared goods very low and unremunera-
ting. Freights are low, and there is a large amount of
tonnage in harbour. At Calcutta, however, matters in
this respect are much worse than at Bombay.

" We have had but little news from Sir Colin Camp-
bell's force during this fortnight. A portion of the
wall at the fort at Dubb is said to have tumbled
down; it is to be garrisoned by a wing of the 71st Na-
tive Infantry. Ou the 28th It. the force was to have
changed ground to Tungee where another fort
is to be erected. An Eusufzaie village under our pro-
tection, named Mooklakund, was on Christmas-day at-
tacked by a body of 800 horsemen' and 1,000 foot, but
they received such a reception as to make them quickly
turn tail and run for it. Captain James had been imme-
diately sent to the assistance of the villagers as soon as
news of the attack reached us. The marauders, on this
occasion, were from the neighbouring valley of Swat,
the chief of which tribe has avowed his determination to
attack us on our own ground, Her Majesty's 32d Foot
had accordingly been hastened on by Sir Colin, and the
gallant corps under Colonel Markham left Rawul Pindee
to join him on the 29th ult. Her Majesty's 22d had
reached this latter station. Sir W. Gomm was to have
reached Peshawur on the 3d, he being at Noushera, a
few miles off, on the 2d. It is not at all unlikely
Brigadier Hod was expected

GENERAL SIR CIIARLE/APIER 01,1
NATIONAL DEFENCE.
This most distinguished eel experiecsced officer has
also come before the world in the shape of a pamphleteer
oa the national defences. He thus concludes his com-
mon-sense brochure:—
" I have not, ;in this pamphlet, entered much into the
question of improving arms, because writers in abundance,
with names and without names, have said enough to
make our troops lose confidence in the queen of
weapons,'—vis., the musket and bayonet, which, as far
as I can judge, is the best. However, men with as much
experience, and who are better soldiers than I am, hold
contrary opinions. Still I maintain that before the
musket and bayonet are condemned, these gentlemen
ought, in common fairness, to do that which they have
not yet done—vise have a musket made which costs as
much money as the minii rifle, to compare with the
latter weapon. They produce a highly finished, beau.
tiful minis rifle, costing a large sum of money, and they
try it on Woolwich practice-ground. • Now, 1 have not
any confidence in such a trial, where a musket, which
costs about a pound, is pitted against a niinie rifle that
costs nrobibly t oor fifccen guineas. Let the musket
cost fifteen guineas, and then try it. Let the powder
used with both be the very worst that can be made ('or
on such the Yate of a campaign may, by the accidents of
mar, depend). Take two hardy, uncouth, stupid soldiers ;.
give on.) the simple but well,finished 'musket, costing
exactly the sam prier as the mini& rifle, with which arm
the other soldier. Let t ach fire sixty rounds, and then
change arms, and fin, six,v more, the whole with bad
powder; and if the miele 'beats the musket in rapid
&tor, in rsnge, and in hitting the arget, which should. he six yards long by six feet in hi ight, end that the
mime hss exactl. ?he musket br,re, and the ammunition
not hJavier, then I think the minie rifle should be tried
by two whole regiments us a further experiment, sad
those regiments should fire 60 round» of ball cartridge
every day, alternately, for one year; and let two more
regiments, with muskets as costly and well-finished as
the minie rifles, he tried in like manner. Then the
results, noted accurately in all their details, would be in
some degree decisive; but both weapons must always be
used with the worst description of powder, and by two
marching regiments, commanded by men who will suffer
no tricks to be played off, and to be under the command
of a strict general officer. I laugh at battle powder,
a sixteen-guinea rifle, used by a dead shot, and all
such humbug,' with champagne luncheons at
Woolwich, to the great damage of officer,.
pockets, and distinguished foreign travellers' up-
! plauding. This is no trial of weapons fit for war.
Firing in a dark night, rainy weather, tired soldiers,
clumsy fingers, made more stiff by cold, empty bellies,
not a drop of champagne to wash the experiment
down, bat a stern will to shoot all foreigners' the
moment they become distinguished' in the gloom of
the night or dawning of the day! We do not want
fire-arms in the infantry for individual combat, but
for combat in masses, where the nice aim of the
deerstalker is not wanted, and human nature will
not take it till men grow old in war and become
more calm in danger than those who are less practised;
and even then the veteran cannot see through the dense
smoke of battle; he knows well that to level low and to
load quick is his game. If the minie rifle be really an
improved musket, I have not another word to say
against it; but this is not yet proved; and before the
nation arms its 100,000 men with such weapons, the fact
should be very clearly demonstrated. For my part, I
don't think the old distich holds good as regards Brown
Bess'—

'Tis good to be off with the old love
Before you are on with the new.'
I would by no means ' be off with my old love,' till the
new one's temper has been better tried.
However, you gentlemen, whose chief work would
be distant shots, avoiding a close encounter with the
enemy, unless a good opportunity offers for ' skivering
him,' as the soldiers say; you may have ' battle powder'
and champagne too, if you please; you may try the
mime rifle. The weapon that best pleases you who are
dead shots is the best for you, always provided that it
carries a musket ball; for there must not be two sixes of
ball for the small arms of an army. This is imperative.
" One subject more, and I have done, for my pamphlet
is already too long. It is on railroads, to which the
public appears to me to attach an undue importance. I
do not much like to say anything about this, because
the subject fo rt.ilroaos bears on the grand gene-
ral plans of defence which the Duke has no
doubt formed in his own mind, and wilt
execute, if you gentlemen give him the means
of execution; and on these any suggestions from a humble
individual like myself would be presumptuous and im-
pertinent in the extreme. But I am free to say that I
cannot see any great military advantage in the rail-
ways. The trains may perhaps be used with advantage
in bringing troops together rapidly at first—say the first
two or three days. They may also possibly be useful in
bringing provisions together. But beyond the first days
I see no advantage. The movements of contending ar-
mies could not be regulated by railways for one moment.
I imagine they would embarrass a commander, for they
would force him to make movements to cover them or to
take them up. I confess that I have not much faith iri
railways as regards war, except in India.
" In the foregoing pages I have carefully abstained
from politics. Ido not pretend to conjecture whether
the President of France will invade England, or whether
he will first quarrel with other powers, or maintain
peace. I neither know his character nor his intentions
nor what he may be forced to do by circumstances. He
may endeavour to make the Rhino idle French frontier.
-He:may attack Egypt. -Ho may attack Malta. He may
invade Etigtaied. He may take the Channel Islands. Hst
may invade.lrelad. Ho may Nei the part of Wash-
ington. Ha may do all, these things. He has the
courage, the abilities, the strength, and the secrecy
r necessary ; but I have entered into no discussion of
such matters, because it is .not necessary to
my object, nor would it be becoming in one who
neither has, nor seeks to have any public employ.
ment, but who has none of that want of moral courage
which fears to be ridiculed as 'an alarmist.' I Aangh
when I 'see men begin with ' I am nu alarmist,' and go
on to show that they are. I think that, when every one
believes the country to be in danger we should prepare
to meet-it ! Ido not believe that there is any danger if
we are bold and prepared to meet it; but I believe we
are in great danger it we are not prepared. I shall not
be listened to. How can an humble individual like
myself expect to be listened to, when by the Duke of
Wellington you have been ' forewarned' and are not
' fore-armed?' The greatest and the bravest men in
England have sounded the alarm, and are not listened
to! But if invasion takes place I shall have the satis-
faction of knowing that, in my own small sphere, I did
my best to avert danger by preaching preparation, show-
ing that without great expense we can, by a few hours of
drill in the week, place England in such a posture that
to invade her would be an enterprise, if not beyond the
power of France, at least demanding her whole force.
and even then prove fruitless ! As the number of our
regular troops is small
you should recollect that from
India you could recal your 30,000 old soldiers at once..
and let the East India Company raise European troops
for itself. It has already six European battalions of its
own, which are as good as ours.
~ iny, I hold that the militia and vaunteers,
neither of which can leave England, are the proper
forces to prepare for danger in time of peace. Confined
to the sing!e object of defence, the arming of such a
force can give no cause of umbrage to other nations.
The whole world know that no gout.

done, I should say that England:l
would then have a force of such power that' she could not
be attacked without those great preparations on the part
of an enemy that would give time to make more ex-
tended arragements on ours. The small increase of re-
gular troops now ordered is a plain proof that there is
some apprehension on the part of our government.
"As to our naval defence, I know nothing. It be-
longs to those general arrangements which I have no
intention of touching upon. This letter is only too ex-
cite country gentlemen to form corps of volunteers, and
aid them, as tar as I am able, to prepare for any
mischief which the force of existing circumstances may
produce.

" Since writing the above I hear that the Government
propose to call out the militia—it will, I hope, meet
with your cordial support. The militia and plenty of
volunzeer corps will place England in a position to defy
invasion."

EXTENIIITE SEIZURE oF WATCHES.—Au extensive
seizure of watches has been made by the officers of the re-
venue. The particulars of the seizure have not transpired,
but the canture was effected at a house at the west end of
the town (not in the trade), and the valuable contraband
articles were concealed in a manner well calculated, if pos-
sible, to elude the vigilance of the dicers. It is stated that
the watches, amounting to several hundred in number, are
of a very superior description, and are worth many thousand
Muds,
