THE MILITIA.

The Ist Devon Militia Regiment is now stationed at
Limerick, having left Newport barracks a short time
ago. . _

-The head-quarters of the Cardiganshire Militia are to
be fixed for Aberystwyth, and proper storehouses are
to be provided. The other counties of the Principality
have made similar arrangements. The county of Flint
has provided for an armoury and storehouse, with orderly
and guard rooms, magazine, apartments for the perma-
nent staff, the whole to be enclosed by a nine-feet wall,
and to cover an acre of ground. A sum of 4,0001. has
been set aside by the county of Carearvon for a like
purpose, and barracks have just been built there. The
counties of Denbigh and Montgomery are also about to
provide suitable accommodation for head-quarters.
Brecon, Monmouth, and Pembroke are at present pro-

Co/Isom—The rise yesterday in Console, notwith-
standing the large expenditure in the present, as com-
pared with former wars, was not nearly so great as in
previous instances of the announcement of peace. On
those occasions, however, there was a vast difference in
the point to which prices had first descended. At the
peace with France in 1801 there was an improvement
from 591 to 66, and shortly afterwards to 70. After the
treaty of Amiens, in 1812, the movement was from 70k
to 79. On the restoration of the Bourbons, in 1814, it
was from 611 to 701 ; and after the Battle of Waterloo
it was from 531 to 591.
THE SURREY GARDENS COMPANY.—Among the pro-
jects which have been started for the amusement and
rational entertainment of the people, those which join
the arts of music and painting with the more brilliant
and startling displays of pyrotechny will always stand
foremost. To cultivate the taste of the public for good
music no one has laboured more assiduously than Jullien.
His name guarantees something worth hearing ; and he
now proposes, by taking the musical direction of the
Surrey Gardens, to extend the area as well as the acrraye
of his operations. Under his able direction harmony
will be brought to the doors of the million. Moderate
prices of admission, and every attention to the comforts
of the auditory need only be given, and the Surrey Gar.
in quarters able to judge in such matters.
