COMMISSIONS IN THE BRIIIsu ABMy.-A letter
from London TO the National hteRigencsr contains
the following:
Some statements have been lately published,
which show the prices at which commissions in
the British army have been lately purchased. The
cornetcy or first commission in all mounted corps,
save the Life Guards and Blues, costs ESQ. The
heutenancy can never be obtained for less than
.sl700 or e1S00 The usual sum paid for a troop
OF captaincy is from $500 to f70G0; for major
ity 98000 to $4,000, and from $1,000 to Gl2, 600
for the command of corps. Ii is commonly re-
ported in the mii.ory circles that Lords Cardigan
and Lucan did several years ago. in order TO obtain
their rank Of lieutenant colonies of cavalry quickly,
sink sums of from Gl0 coo to Gl2, 900 each. 1t is
fact that the pay ofeach officer in the commits
stoned ranks of cavalry does not yield him per
cent. Of the money lie has spent on promotion
hat the style of living in the cavalry regiments is
most expensive that the uniforms horse a2cou-
tremeuts, &c, cost very large sums; and it is
universally acknowledged that no officer can live
IN any of the cavalry regiments with less than
from 4400 to 5000 per year. When all these
things are taken into consideration, it will be al
lowed that a cavalry commission is not to be
thought Of for poor man. On the contrary, &C.
cordiDg to the present custom, whicl ReHnbeen
supreme since the last war, the regiments g drR-
goops, Dragon guards, light dragons lancers and
hussars are intended solely as colleges where rich
young men pass away pleasantly the six or seven
years which intervene between their leaving the
public schools, and settling down to marry or look
after the paternal acres Every cavalry corps has
M adjutant and riding master, men who in most
cases have risen from the ranks. These two officers
assist the colonel to look after the regiment. The
captains and suballerns hunt, dress, Shoot and go
on leave, and from first to last duty is made as
easy as possible for al parties Is it possible that
a regiment so organized, so ofiicered, should be fit
for action 10 the field or equal to the hazards the
labors and the privations Of severe campaign
And yet is it not wonderful that the British cava-
Gay have done so much, and done it so well, wher-
ever they have had chance of doing anything
during the past year.

~ Tie Journal Of Commerce has long edito-
ris commendatory of the use Of tea, coffee, chicory
ard cocoa. Prof JOHNSTON is quoted as saying
that more than seven hundred millions Of the hu
man racer about three fhs of the entire popu-
lstion Of the globe-baye come to regard one or
the other Of the warm beverages made from these
articles as among the necessaries Of life, and that
they are in fact among the most useful and most
harmless forms of indulgence. The quantity CT
the raw material consumed in the world is perfectly
enormous-estir1ated at three thousand millions of
pounds, of which more than two-thirds Of the
whole, or twenty two hundred and forty million Of
pounds, is tea
1.-THE medicinal properties of these beverages are
well known. Tea is used adVantageousy in IN
fammatory diseases, and as cure for headache
Coffee is supposed TO act preventive of gravel
and gout and TO its influence is ascribed the rarity
of those diseases in France and Turkey. Both tea
and coffee powerfully eounteract the effect of opium
and intoxicating liquors; though when taken in
excess, and without nourisbng food, they them
selves produce, temporarily at least, some Of the
more dissasreea5le consequences incident to the
OF ardent spirits. In general, however, none but
persons possessing great mobility Of their nervous
system, or enfeebled and efsminste constitutions,
are lDlurlousy Affected by the moderate use 81 tea
and coffee il connection with food. Prof Johnston
attributes TO coffee the quality Of stimulating the
digestive organs, and to tea that Of retarding their
operation DIR. Bigelow, in his work entitled
Mature in Disease, recently published at Boston,
assigns to both the same effect-that of producing
an increased action Of the stomach in the process
OF digestion.
The properties and effects Of fee and tea are
in most respects similar. They exhilerate and
produce wakefulness; they stimulate the brain
and soothe the body; they retard the waste of the
animal system which is in constant progress, and
which it is the Office of food to repair. Ia those
who labor much with the head, they produce a
condition of the system favorable to mental appl-
cation; and in all they tend TO counterfeit the
sluggishness which prompts 10 shrink from difficult
ties, and TO infuse the spirit which mpels to en-
counter and overcome them. They increase the
enjoyment of life, while they make no sacrafce of
its duration. Ga the contrary, in the old and in
firm, whose powers of digestion begin to fail, they
doubtless operate TO prolong it, by retarding the
natural waste OF the bodily substance.

NIesER IN THE WooD PuE.-The Detroit
AdOertiser, in sPGaking of the payment by
the Government of $4,000 for seven acres
of land near that city, as site for the Ma
rine Hospital, says:
1--WE claim to be pretty well posted in re-
gard to to the value of real estate in and
near this city and unhesitatingly assert that
the tract of land above mentioned is not,
nor never was, and nsver tOiN be north one
half of twenty three thousand dollars. the
price to be paid by the government. There
is corruption somewhere, but perhaps no
more than usually characterises the admin
istration in such matters. The site selected
is an eligible one, but we believe many 9th
ers equally desirable, in the same vicinity,
could have been had for a much smaller
sum. Verify, Uncle Sam is goose es-
peeially when personated by a locofoco
President who has friends to reward. Go
ahead, Frank Pierce, your race will soon be
run, and it behooyes you to make the most
of your time"

late proceedings ia the Common Pleas of
that city against James Myers, Lieut. Gov.
of Ohio, and candidate for reelection. 1t
seems he acted as Judge of the election at
the Sd Ward in Toledo, at the recent cor
poration election. He is charged With hav-
ing permitted illegal votes to be cast, know
ing them to be such. He was indicted BY
the Grand Jury, and the trial has just been
concluded. The Blade of the 18th says
the Jury were out nine hours, and returned
to Court with statement that they could
not agree upon a verdict. It is said they
stood eight for acqvittal, and -four for con-
viction. Another trial will take place in
June next.-O S. Journ0l.
