ENGLAND'S PREPARATIONS.

We (Globe) have good reason for supposing that thel
does not exist the slightest intention to abolish the Bo
Military College at Sandhurst, notwithstanding that tb,
admission of cadets has been stopped for the preselii:
The whole Sandhurst system is again under consideration
by a committee of officers, who, it is expected, will recoli,.3:
mend several highly important changes, especially ~,;
regards the age at which the cadets are to enter, and t'
period during which they are to remain at the college. ,•
Lord Elcho has written another letter on our pres,ell9o
system of army organisation and management. He taxes,,,
a very gloomy view of it, and says that if we were TO 5
called on to send an army into the field, as the Gerno'l,
have been, and support it on the enemy's country,
simply could not do it. England ought not to rest sat v:,;
fled with any less expansive system. It is not in (I.,'t
power of production that we are deficient, but in c't
administration. He is told on very good authority tiO„
it would be impossible under present circumstances t;
send a force on service equipped in details. The amrall,/
tion of the field artillery is in a most lamentable smote.ln this present month our actual regular force is 180 gut;
10,654 cavalry, and 50,870 infantry. He concludes e't
saving that the way in which the Secretary of State I°.
War has dealt with our small army cannot be viewed r,
other than a very grave and dangerous practical error I
the application of a sound principle.
It is stated by a correspondent at Woolwich that the
recruiting sergeant is a strong competitor for labour igo
now, and that young men are coming in from the count.ttg
and manufacturing districts in large numbers. Recral,,4
from Ireland are not, however, taken so readily ,
formerly, probably in consequence of their being pervade.
with Fenian ideas and exhibiting insubordinate tell.
dencies.
