DIVISION OF TEXAS.

The public journals of Texas are discussing the
subject of subdivision of that State into two more
States. NoState of the Union has increased within
few years rapidly in population and wealth. The
population is now estimated at over half million, and
under the next it will be entitled to six or
seven representatives in Congress-. The great size
of the State the great dssmilarity of its parts, and
the difficulty in the way Of constant communication
between all of its parts and the centre of gov
ernment, are the urged in support of the d.
vision. 1t will be remembered that the joint resolu-
tions annexing Texas TO the Union provided for its
ultimate subdivision into five States The line of di-
vision suggested is the same with that now dividing
the State into two congressional districts

FOREIGN LEaIoNs IN THE BRITISH SERVICE.

FOREIGN LEGIONS IN THE BRITISH SERVICE.
We have before British parliamentary docu-
ment, ordered by the House of Commons and recent
~ published entitled, "Return of the number of Off
GERS, non-commssoned officers, and men enlisted in
each of the foreign legions during the late war;, in
which we find minute statistics relative to this
branch of the active military forces of Great Britain
in the war with Russia. From this document we
gather the following facts The number enlisted in
each of the foreign legons was-German, 44l Off
GERS 500 non-commissioned officers, and 8 1902 rank
and file; SWISS lag officers, l65 non-commissioned
officers and 1896 rank and fle Italian, l6O officers
1875 commissioned officers, and 1926 rank and
file The expense incurred for the German legion
was g6s7 800 ($3,439,OOO) for the Swiss, f235,-
1856, (Sl ,l7743O;) and for the Italian, Gl95,655
($97s,275 The recruiting commenced in May,
1855, for the German and Swiss legions, and in Oc
tober, 1855, for the Italian; and the disarmament
was completed in October, November, and Decem-
Der, 1856 To the German military settlers at the
Cape of Good Hope there was allowed to each non
commissioned officer building-ot on which to erect
his house, and, if located in a village, build

Ger building and garden lot of at least double this
extent Besides these and other gratuties, liberal
pay is also allowed, and the duties are to serve
military settlers from the date of their landing in
South Africa, and, for years after their loca
tion resist the attacks of enemy and to aid the
civil power. The expense of arming, equipping, and
proceeding to the Cape Of Good Hope was ELS ,3O5,
1891 $685. and for clothing f6375, 1850 The
number thus located was 23s officers and non-com-
missioned officers, and 2,024 privates. The large
body however, Of the men composing these legions,

A STRONG ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF CONNER
'ar eE tEfa's CIAL FREEDOM. as '"r

The imperial decree issued in France last month
removing Ne prohibition to export and distl corn
has already been followed by the most beneficial ef
fects 1t is estimated that had the prohibition con-
tnued about 20 900 900 hectoltres of grain, equal
to about SIS 900 900 bushes the surplus of the last
harvest would have been stored up spelling barns,
and that very large amount of money would have
been sent abroad TO pay for acohos but that now
the permission to export corn will cause some $780,
100000 francs NEARLY S7O0O000O) to flow into
France, while the permission to distil viii prevent
some 10000 900 francs ($3O 900 O0O) from flowing
out There is thus total of about 500, 100000 to
be brought into in comparatively brief period,
and the prospect has already had beneficial effect
on the present crisis. This appears to be a large
sum, but have the best-informed commercial
journals in France authority in saying that II is
not exaggerated. One hundred million dollars, or
hve hundred million francs, is not bad argument,
even in France, in favor Of commercial freedom.
