PORTSMOUTH, A PAIL 2L

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

REFORM.—It has been said that the people are indifferent
to Reform. It would have been well had those who wish
they were indifferent, arid for those deluded lordlings
who really think they are indifferent, to have been at our
little theatre, which contains upwards of 1001. in admis-
sions. Yesterday, Shalders, the leading man in the com•
pany, took his benefit. Massaniello was the piece selected.
The passage wherein Mascaniello speaks of the people's
strength when in opposition to their oppressors, as being
always and certainly triumphant, was received with the
loudest applause from the mint respectable and crowded
house witnessed for some years.
THE SUS EXPRESS.—The enlivening intelligence of
the glorious majority of nine, and the returning senses of
certain noblemen, was conveyed by The Sun Paper full
FOURTEEN HOURS earlle than by any other Paper.
NAVAL SQUADRON OF EXPERIMENTALISTS.-.-A RR •
merous squadron, as I mentioned sonic time since, will as-
s mble here and' evolutionize, as did the squadron under
Sir E. Codrington, "Go it, Ned," te.e. The following
ships will certainly form part of it :—Britannia, Cale-
donia, Talavera, Donegal, Castor, Vernon, Pantaloon,
Serpent, Scout, Rover, and Snake. The following are
mentioned as likely to join, but nothing can be said positively
of them :—Hibernia, Thunderer, Barham, and others
Ido not at this moment recollect. The inhabitants of
these towns were under great obligations during last sum-
mer to you for the insertion of several paragraphs respect-
ing the fleet, and which considerably increased the num-
la_Ts of visitors.

TROOPS IN AND NEAR PORTSMOUTH•One company
of Royal Engineers, one company of Royal Artillery, the
14th Regiment, the 33d Depot, and the 35th R-giment.
Exclusive of these there arc the Royal Marines, nearly
900 in number. _ _ _

NAVAL ECONOMY.—By the Portsmouth Herald,
we find that the Marines are to be reduced 1,000 men.
`Will it he believed that the same paper gives a list of pro-
motions in that corps among the officerA, and that there
are to be a second Commandant to each division ? Mr.
Editor—reduce the men, and increase the officers ! What
