War-office, :

" Sheffiebi, Sept. 15.

" My Lord, —We offer no apology for addressing you :
tho position of our country demanding the best and united
exertions of every Eagli3hm,n.. We ar3 satisfied that
Sheffield is deeply ituprassed with the imp-rtance of the
present Indian crisis, and is fully prepared to offer pa-
triotic and practical assistance to the Queen and G ,vern-
ment. Some towns:nen, along with ourselves, will gui..
rantee to nice 500 men belonging to Sheffield and the-dis-
trict, within one month from this time, for home or foreign
service. We will pay all preliminary expenses of r wising
this force, but we have not yet been able to see our ft iendc,
so that wo could guar ritee the equipment, aod, probably,
some boun'y to the men althou3ll we have no doubt of
doing this also, but we aro persorally unable to do it our-
selves. You will pr,,bibly giro us the terms on which
these volunteers could b 3 accepted. Distinctly under-
stand that we have no object to serve but our country--
the entire force to be plictd in the hands of Government
without any conlition whatever. We trust that you will
put as do all the uscal Government red tape, and give us
a.dis'Anct, clear, and prompt rally.—We are, my Lord,
your Lordship's very
obedient servants,
" WILLIAII HARVEY,
" CHAS. E. BROADBENT,
" Two Members of the Town Council of Sheffield.
To Lord Pantnure, War-offic-."

" War-office, Sept. 16.

" Gentlemen,— I received your letter of the 1411 inst.
this morning, and lei° not a post in expressing to you the
high sen.e which both my colleagues and myself entertain
of your x.,al to procure recruits fer her Majesty's service
at this criAs. _

..,., ... _
"I will forward you to-morrow a detailed statement of
the conditions of enlist:mut, which require same more
consbierAtion than
I can give them before post hour.
" I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant,
" PANDIURE."

" War-office., Sept.l7.

" Gentlemen,— In reference to Lord Panmir o's note of
service in her Majesty's army, of the
raise bOO men fig-
last night (16th), I have to inform yon that, ahould you
height required by existing regulations—viz., 5 feet 5 in.,
and passing the usual medical inspect ion, her Majeity's Go-
vernment will be prepared to give each man the usual bounty
of 3. and a free kit, so that no exp:use for equipment will fall
on those who under aka the task of raising the men.
Should you succeed in raising this body of men they will
be posted at once to one the new battalions, in which-they
will have the advantage of solving together. Lord Pan-
more desira me again to express his sense of the public
spirit which has dictated ibis offer, and which he hopes
may be carried oat with everysuccss.
" i have the honour to lr, gentlemen,
" Your most obedient servant,
"J. A. E. STORKS.

" Wm. Hervey, Esq.
" C. B. Broadbent, Esq."
Maser+. Idlarvey and Broadbent have no other grounds
for the offer they have made to the Government than
the well known patriotism of their townsmen ; and,
from the readiness with whic'e the young men o Shef-
field have ev.r, on oceasiol:s of emergency, enrolled
thems ltiCi among the defenders; of their country's honour,
they have the fullest c,mfidence in being able to redeem
the pledge they have made to raise 500 volunteers within
the next month. Tee committee associated with Messrs.
Broadbent and Harvey have issued an address to the
public, and arranged to sit clan} at th.• C uneil-Lmll (the
use of which has been plac_d at their service by the
Mayor) to receive the names of volunteers.
