VOLUNTEER RECRUITING AT SHEF-
FIELD FOR THE ARMY.

The following correspondence has taken place between
two mein-hers-et the Shedd T6wn Council and the
War-office :

" Sheffield, Sept. 15.

" My Lord, —%Vo offer no apology fox addressing you :
the position of our country demanding the best and united
exertions, of every Ifinglishtivan. We are satisfied that
Sheffield is deeply impressed with the importance of tho
present Indian crisis, and is fully prepared to offer pa-
triotic and practical assistance to the Queen and G .vern-
ment. Some townsmen, along ,with ourselves, will gua-
rantee to raise 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 raising
this force, but we have not yet been able to see our friends,
so that we could guarantee the equipment, and, probably,
some bounty to the men although we have no doubt of
doing this also, but we aro personally unable to do it our-
selves. You will probably give us the terms on which
these volunteers could be .accepted. Distinctly under-
stand that we have no object to serve but our country--
the entire force to be placed in the hands of Government
without any condition whatever. We trust that you will
put as de all the usual Government red tape, and give us
a distinct, clear, and prompt reply.--We an, my Lord,
your Lordship's very obedient servants,

Should you succeed in raising this -body of men they will

" Wm. Harvey, Esq.
" C. E. Broadbent, Esq."
Measra. Harvey 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 which the young men•of Shef-
field have ever, on occasions of emergency, enrolled
thems-lvee among the defender& of their country's honour,
they have the fullest confidence 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 iseued an address to the
public, and arranged to sit daily at the Council-hall (the
use of which hai been plac,d at their service by the
Mayor) to receive the names of volunteers.
