Gable dispatches have announced the de-
parture of cavalry and infantry regiments
from England for service in Canada. The
Pail Mall Gazelte says:
"A number of Snider converted Enfelds
and Il suitable supply of Boxer ammunition
for the same will he sent to Canada with the
reiniorceIpents which are to leave England
some time before the middle Of next month.
The manufacture Of Snider arms and ammu.
milton is not sufficiently advanced to permit
of the dispatch Of us large an equipment us
might be desired, and the deficiency is to be
made up with several thousand Wcstley
Richards carbnes and muskets, Of the PAT.
tern which has for several years been in use
eXperilnentally for cavalry, and of which,
before the snider system OF conversion was
decided upon, some twenty thousand had
been ordered. The next Fenian invaders OF
Canada will thus not only have an oppor-
tunty Of forming II sound practical opinion
respecting the merits of the new English
breech.loader, but they will be in position
upon the question of small bores Ue,s,ls large
bores, of Gaping and non-cappng breech-
leaders, and to speak with some authority as
to the relative merits Of the two systems of
which the Wesley Richards and the Snider
arms are respectively the representatives.
Seriously, the authorities may be congratu.
lated on their determination to Send every
Shider-Enfeld and round of ammunition
that can be scraped together by October to
the only colony in which, happily, there is
the slightest likelihood Of their being re-
quired this winter-after which we hope no
English colony and no English soldier will
be without them. As regards the personnel,
it is stated that three infantry regiments, one
cavalry regiment, and battery of artillery
will go to reinforce the not inconsiderable
army Of regular troops, militia and volun-
teers which has been collected for the de-
fence Of the most loyal Of England's colonial
possessions"

The Union Ratification Meeting in
Alexandria.

On Tuesday evening last mass meeting
was held in Alexandria for the purpose of
endorsing the Presidents policy and the pro-
ceedings of the National Union Convention
at Philadelphia.
Several lorcible speeches were made, and
the following resolutions were passed:
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, in times Of peril to the princ-
pies OF public liberty and justice, it Is the
duty OF good citizens to assemble together
and pledge their support to the Government
III thel maintenance of those principles and
believing that the triumph Of radicalism over
the patriotic efforts now being made by
President johnson to preserve them would
result in their destruction and civil war; it is
therefore
l. Resolved, That we recognize in Andrew
johnson, the President of the United States,
true patriot and statesman, who treading
firmly in the paths Of the early sages of the
Republic, and immovably fixed in the conf.
dence of the people, may well afford to de-
spise the assaults Of the disunon faction that,
desparing Of ruling, seeks to ruin the coun-
try.
2. Resolved, That we hail the recent Con-
ventiOn of the conservative men of the coun-
try, at Philadelphia, as meeting worthy of
the best days Of the Republic-a union of
good men for great purposes-and that we
Tost heartily endorse the objects of said
Convention.
g. Resoived, That we cordially invite all
the friends of the conservative policy of
Andrew johnson TO unite with us in an
organization, designed to uphold that pol
icy, and give II generous and hearty support
to the Chief Magistrate of the Union.
A. Resolved, That regarding radicalism
as Synonymous with despotisin, injustice and
II host of other evils, it is our solemn duty
to oppose it, and We hereby pledge ourselves
to do So

EUROPEAN ARMIES.

An exchange says, in reference to the
armies of Europe, that from carefully pre-
prepared table published in the Journal of
the Statistical Society of Paris, it appears
that in time Of peace 1.-THE calculations being
based upon the military returns from 1860
to 1869 the various countries of Europe
maintained armies amounting to 3slj.s4I
men, at an annual cost of S644,2SO 100.
This was an average of one soldier to every
seventy-six inhabitants of Europe, and the
animal cost of their maintenance averages
Sl69 per soldier. OF this vast military array.
Russia maintained 100000 soldiers, or one
to every sixty-four inhabitants at an average
expense of sl06 per soldier. France main
tanned 5l3,349; Austria, 4GI 24l; Turkey,
429,OO0; Italy, 3l4,235 Great Britain 3OO,-
1913; and Prussia 2l4,IS2. In France there
was one soldier to every seventy-three in
habitants; i'll Austria, one to seventy-fve;
Turkey, one to ninety-one; Italy, one to sew
enty Great Britain, one to ninety,seven, and
in Prussia, one to eighty-Six. In France the
annual cost Of supporting each soldier was
$26s; in Austria, Sl44; in Turkey. sG6; in
Italy, $2lO; in Great Britain, si46; and in
Prussia, Sl4S.
The army of Great Britain, in proportion
to its strength, was almost twice as costly as
that of France, and nearly three times as
costly az that Of Austria or Prussia. In
Russia the cost Of the military establishment
was AZ per cent Of the entire expenses of the
country; in France it was 80 per cent? III
Austria, 81 per cent; in Italy, - per cent
in Great Britain, 80 per cent and in Prus-
STA, 80 per cent. 1t also appears that 80 per
cent. of the total annual disbursements Of
Europe are made for the support of standing
armies; and the enormous annual cost Of
these enthusiastically six hundred and fifty
millions Of dolars-is borne in time Of peace
merely that they may watch each other
During the rebellion the United States en-
pended annually more money for the sup
port of its armies than all the nations of
Europe expended in supporting the enormous
armies they maintain.
