THE SWEDISH ARMY AND NAVY, JAN. 1, 1832.

The first organization of a regular array is due to Charles
XI. in 1680, in whose time it solely consistod,of men billeted
upon the lane ed proprietary. The latter,, if possessed of an in-
come of not less than £5O or £6O a-year, are bound to provide
one soldier with a small dwelling, a piece of ground, and cer-
tain necessaries. The quota has been increased by adding men
who have been enrolled, as well as such as are drawn by ballot
under the conscription law. The army is at present composed
of 32,694 men, inclusive of 2,580 artillery, 4,705 cavalry, and
25,409 infantry. Of this force 26,914 are quartered with the
landowners, and 5.780 are recruits. Independently of these
troops, the five classes of conscripts furnish 95,518 men fit for
service. The army is divided into three regiments of artillery,
eight of cavalry, and 25 of infantry. Each regiment, in addi-
tion to the two or three towns assigned to it for its quarters, is
under directions to assemble occasionally en corps at some given
spot. The army, with the exception of the artillery and
foot-gnarls, being dispersed at its several quarters, a regular
rendezvous of the whole is ordered at a certain period, either at
Stockholm, Christianstadt, or Wenersborg. '1 he officers of the
navy consist of one admiral, three vice-admirals, four rear-ad-
mirals, 21 captains-commandant, 16 captains, and 176 lieu-
tenants, divided into two classes; besides 38 officers of marines.
The naval force comprises a corps of artillery of 955 men, and a
corps of marines of 440; 360 naval cadets, 5,694 sailors quar-
tered on the inhabitants in the country, and 892 on townsmen ;
1,505 termed extraordinary men, and 11,580 sailors of all ages.
Including every individual employed in the navy, its whole
strength is 23,005. The number and class of ships is as follow ;
—lO of the line, 4 large frigates, 5 light frigates, 10 sloops or
brigs, 5 cutters, 24 galleys, 4 semi-galleys, 25 decked guu-boats,
200 gun-boats without decks, and 155 other vessels.

HUNTINGDON, OcT. 2.
(From the Cambridge Chionicle.)

The revising barristers for this circuit (William Gordon and
T. J. Birch, Esqrs,) wintnenced their labours on Tuesday, at
the Town-hall. Therb were few or no objections made to the
various claims throughout the county, with the exception of
those to forty of the Hartford voters who, for distinction, are
usually denominated, the "forty thieves," from the circum-
stance of their having been made from amongst the Duke of
Bedford's tenants and friends in Bedfordshire, and else Where,
fur the express purpose dl supporting the blue or Whig cause in
this comity, after Lord John Russell's. defeat by a majority of
fifty-three, at the contest in 182.8; and from the quantity of land
possessed by thirty-five of these voters, amounting only to 50A.
3n. 4e.,. or 1n,•32e.. each, on the average, oF some of the
poorest in the county. The greater part of this is let to John
Watford, (a person who had saved about £4OO in the capacity
of a shepherd to a farmer in the county,) who pays his rent to
Mr. Wing, the Duke of Bedford's steward, who, we presume
hands it over to the respective claimants; and it is a question
whether Watford knows his landlords at all, except by name, or
whether they know their tenant, or ever saw either him or their
land. Perhaps it is sufficient fur them to know that they have
a good tenant, for no other person in the parish could give the
rent he does. Experienced farmers, who have for years occu-
pied land contiguous to it, state that its outside worth is Iss. the
acre, (some say 10s.) whilst he is giving nearly twice that sum.
On the Hartford list being called_ by the barrister presiding,
(Mr. Gordon,) Mr. G. G. Day, of St. Ives, requested that the
vote of Charles Frederick Palgrave, of Bedford, might be first
taken, as only a few of those whose votes had been objected to
were in attendance, it having been deemed unnecessary to bring
up the whole body. The notice of objection was then put in,
signed by It. Lee, of Huntingdon. Mr. Price stated that he
delivered a copy of the notice to the overseers of Hartford on
the 24th August, and also one, as directed by the act, to John
Watford, the tenant. In answer to a question from Mr. Day,
Mr. Price stated that he delivered the notice himself, and not
Mr. Lee, the objector. Mr. Day then read from the 39th clause
of the act, that part of it which enacts that the objector shall
give, or cause to he given, notice of his objection to the over-
seer, and also to the person objected to, or bha, 1.. personally de-
liver it to his tenant in occupation. The serving of the notice
by Mr. Price and not by Mr. Lee, the person who signed the
of jectious, Mr. Day held to be fatal. After some discussion,
Mr. Gurdon requested the attendance of Mr. Birch from the
other court, and they both concurred in Mr. Day's opinion—so
that "the forty" have their votes for another year at least: last
year they escaped because the party objecting had not signed
his Christian name at full length. Mr. Palgrave was very in-
dignant that his vote should be disputed, and he put to the in-
convenience of attending at Huntingdon to substantiate it, and
was making use of some strong language, when he was stopped
by the court, and the remaining business proceeded with. We
hope, for the credit of the men of Bedford, that they will, by
another year, have wiped their hands of this dirty concern; and
Mr. Palgrave, and the rest, will then be saved the trouble of
coining to Huntingdon on such disreputable business. Cne of
the most eminent men at the bar, after giving his opinion on
the decision of the learned barristers, thus concludes:—" The
Riform Act has produced a great variety of odd decisions, but
this beats all I have ever met with."
