THE NEW CAMP.—It is confidently stated that the
new camp will be formed early in May next. Beyond
one or two line regiments, it will be almost entirely
composed of militia, which force, it is said, will be mus-
tered to the extent of 30,000 or 32,000 men. The open
downs in the neighbourhood of the Military College of
Sandhurst is, according to present arrangement, the
locality fixed upon ; and, from all we have heard of the
nature of the ground, the choice appears more judicious
than that made last year. Drilling up the men, and
getting the smartest young fellows to volunteer for
regular service in the East, is said to be the immediate
object which the authorities have in view.
THE PRESTON STRIKE.—We understand that nearly

rSSION.

It is much to have to refer twice in the same
week to the proceedings of the Peace Society.
Messrs. Sturge, Pease, and Co., have at length
succeeded in obtaining an interview with the Czar,
who appears to have received them much in the
same way as the candidate for a borough would
receive a select batch of free and independent
electors. There was plenty of flummery, plenty
of hand• shaking, plenty of civility; but very little
in the way of substantial satisfaction. Nothing
more could have been expected. Fanaticism of
any kind is not without its element of respectabi-
lity. Whether it be tho poor Hindoo who casts
himself under the car of Juggernaut, or the Roman
devotee who may be seen literally " shinning"
on bare knees up a long flight of stone-steps,
or the howling or dancing Dervishes of Con-
stantinople, who yell or reel their way, as the case
may be, into the bowers of eternal bliss, there
is always something respectable about honest
fanaticism. We should not, however, lose sight of
the fact that madness of this kind has its ridiculous
and its mischievous side. Nothing could well be
more ludicrous than an attempt on the part of three
Quaker gentlemen to stop -ate aggressive career of
a half-mad Emperor by civil speeches and ethical
points. It would have been just as much to the
purpose had Lord Hardinge despatched, place
of the Guards who left London yesterday morning,
three elderly ladies, with three little squirts, to
extinguish the fire of the Russian batteries on the
Danube by an animated trickle from their hydro-
static ordnance. There was no question of the
sublime—the whole proceeding was purely ridicu-
lous. When the Sabine women let down their back
hair and rushed in between the rival armies, we
could have sympathised with their feelings, and
certainly, had we been present, we should have
grounded arms, and owned the power of the inter-
vention. There was the case of the poor Arch-
bishop of Paris, too, at the June Barricades. We
must not, however, lose sight of the important dis-
tinction that the priest advanced into the heat of
the fire. Cannon were roaring and bullets hissing
about his ears when lie stepped forward to still the
unholy fray. Now, when we see the three Quakers
who have gone to St. Petersburg give such an evi-
dence of sincerity as this—when they have fallen
victims to their righteous zeal, and their three bodies
are brought home to us in three_casks of rum—we
promise them that we will shed salt tears over their
untimely fate. Mean while, we must be pardoned
for remembering that their martyrdom hitherto has
been confined to a cold and tedious journey, at an
inclement season of the year, with a comfortable
hotel, French cookery, and an Emperor at the end
of it. How many are there among our country-
men who would not, with the greatest alacrity, un-
dergo similar toils for a similar result ? Half-an-
hour's interview with a real Emperor—the consi-
deration accorded to apostles—honeyed words from
the Empress, and a world of fine things beside !
Were ever broad-brims, stiff collars, and unstarched
collars, so honoured since Penn was a little boy ?
It is impossible, in conscience, to say otherwise of
these missionaries than that, if they do hold com-
missions in the army of martyrs, at least they are
unattached.
We said, however, that this species of fanaticism
is mischievous as well as ridiculous. Every, prin-
ciple is mischievous which leads men to place reli-
ance on visionary hopes and feelings. If a man,
in burglarious times, were to fasten his doors with
long sixes, in place of iron bolts, relying on the
special interposition of Providence, he would in all
probability see cause to regret that in the exercise
of his discretion he had adopted such a course.
Providence has endowed man with prudence and
foresight that those qualities may be called into
action as occasion may arise. Would any but a
madman shut his eyes wilfully before crossing the
road at Charing-cross, and rely upon some meta-
physical protection ? The mind has its senses as
well as the body, and we may not with impunity
neglect the laws of our nature. If the pure insan-
ity of these peace-praters were to become general,
the probability is that ere six months were out this
island would be covered with ashes, and the name
of Englishman be blotted out from the records of
history. Nothing but the absurd minority in A hick
the peace agitators stand could prevent their move-
ment from being one of the most dangerous descrip-
tion. They can do no harm, only because they are
too few. Meanwhile it is a satisfaction to know,
that although Europe is to be involved in a san-
guinary war, and that the peace mission has been
ineffectual to avert such a calamity from our heads,
yet that Mr. Sturge's health has been sensibly
benefited by the trip. That information is very
gratifying indeed,—quite a set-off against much
prospective calamity. To conclude, we would ask
as many of our readers as have ever visited Epsom
on the Derby-day if they ever saw the great race
contested without the occurrence of the following
phenomena ? Expectation is trained to the highest
point, and necks to their extremest length ; a mur-
mur runs that Purple and Black Jacket is round-
ing the corner first. The spectators hold their
breath, and the policemen clinch their truncheons,
when a couple of curs squeeze on to the course be-
tween the legs of the crowd, and entertain them
with the spectacle of their friendly contest in speed.
We sadly fear that the peace deputies are like those
little dogs ; but the Czar will yet engage in a con-
test more serious than that of the Derby-day,
although they have done all that little dogs can do
to throw ridicule on theapproaching strife.—Times.
