CONDITION OF EUROPE.

Our last intelligence from Europe is, that the
Great Powers are about to disarm and disband
their armies. We do not attach the slightest
credit to this statement. In our view of the
subject, the condition of Europe, or of Eng
land at least; was never more critical. Gene
raj discomfort appears to pervade the whole
country. After long and arduous struggle;
a ii was passed by the house ofcommons. con.
fer ing upon the general people more liberty.
with regard to the election of their representa-.
tives. This bill was SO cautiously framed, in
order not to extend the right of suffrage to too
great an extent that by it every voter must oc-
Cupy a residence, the rent of which should a.
mount to. at least ten pounds per annum. Not
occupying such a residence, he would not be
p. rmitted to vote. The bill embraced many o.
ther restrictions, and it was opposedby the ra-
ideals in Parliament-such as Hunt and Hume
because IT was not deemed sufficiently libe-
iral. Yet tbs this bill, not deemed sufficiently
liberal bv the radicals that has Just been reiec
ted by the Lords, because they consider it as
ext nding the right of suffrage too far. Our
readers generally are aware of the commotion

out the country. In Bristol, for example which

ministers are pledged to submit such bill at

are, the consequences ola second rejection NAV
well be anticipated. Nothing short of revo-
luton will ensue; and if such an event should
take place in England, there is no imagining
where it will end. An intelligent writer in a
late Liverpool paper, holds this language:-
/" The state of the country is one Of great &
dangerous excitement. This cannot be doubt
ed; it has been proclaimed in characters of fire
and blood at Bristol, at Derby, and at Noting
ham; and how soon we may have repetition
of such scenes, is beyond the power of man to
determine. 1t is, however, in these commot;-

paired in that great branch of the national de-
fence. This is to be regretted; for, although
this force cannot be regarded as our most i'm
portant means of safety in the event of war, it

nature of our institutions, opposed as they are

sable. The power of organizing, armng, and
lisciplining the militia is granted by the Con-
stitulion to Congress; and if the laws upon
this subject are inadequate, or inadequately
executed. it is for the wisdom of that body to
apply the remedy.
If this great defensive force be called out
under proper circumstances, it may contribute
essentially, to the security of the country. In
recurring to our own experience, we find ma
ny instances of the courage and devotedness OF
our militia and the two battles that opened
ald closed our military history furnish practi-
cal illustrations Of the value Of that institution
and of its powerful effects in situations favor

too much, however, from our militia
force. we prepare the way for disappointment
and this was the error cf the late war in con-
sequence of which, our attention has been prob
ably Withdrawn from the value of the svsten,
itself. A regular force is indispensable to the
vigorous prosecution of any permanent militia
nv operations, offensive or defensive. But it
may be aided by irregular troops, and its place
also supplied, until measures providing it can
be adopted We cannot expect. that the mill
tia drill under the present system, will give
much instruction. The time aud attention
devoted TO it are utterly insufficient for such a
purpose. Nor is it probable, that enough Of
either will be granted in time Of peace, to con.
vey much military knowledge to the great body
of out citizens.

AT this crisis the Morgan trials at Lockport
came on, and the appalling facts were disclo-

been kidnapped by masonS for revealing the
secrets of fiee-masonry.

1t is estimated that an iron cannon will not
safely bear more than 1 200 discharges with
the service charge, after which it should be
broken up.
The United States have no armories for the

The number in depot in France, in 1911,
was 100000, not including the great number
in service.
These statements may be useful in deterrni-
ming the proper number of small arms, which
ought to belprovided in this country. Being
almost imperishable when properly secured
and preserved. their accumulation occasions no
actual loss, as the time must, in all probability,
come when they will be wanted.
Considering the nature of our sercice, re-
quiring as it does, an unusual expenditure of
these articles, in consequence of the great pro-
portion of militia we employ, and the system
of rotation, by which their services are regu-
lated, and great losses consequently OCCASION
ed, and also the necessity which should be adj
equate to any probable emergency, it is evident
that our stock of small arms should at all times
be large. Whether the quantity now on hand
be sufficiently so, is for Congress to determine.
There are now 623 cannon of various cali
bres. for field service. And there are at the
arsenals and in the old Notifications 1,165-

gives it still deeper interest, than the pecuni-

our arms are well fabricated and preserved, and
