The London Telegraph says that the Isle Of
MN, which is only thirty miles long and nine wide,
and contains about fifty thousand inhabitants has
just been the scene of revolution quite as re-
markablo for its effective character as for the
bloodless and quiet manner in which it has been
brought about.
The government of the island is vested in two
and consists of the two Deemsters, or judges, the
Clerk of the Rolls, the Attorney-G General the
vicar-General, the Water Bailih, and the Bishop
and Archdeacon of the Diocese. This Council is
presided over by the Lieutenant Governor Of the
island. The lower house is quantity designated
the 9 House Of Keys This body is 50 ancient that
it is now impossible to assign date to its origin
It consists OF twenty-four members and speaker.
Its most curious feature is the fact that it has
been, !, until the LAST year close corporation, fll
anomalous government existing under the British
crown, and within six hours sail Of Liverpool had
OF late years become very dstastefn to the island
ers, and repeated efforts had been made by local
reformers to bring about reform. These, how
ever, we're unavailing, and the Manxmen owe
their present enjoyment Of the franchise to IN ILL
advised act Of the House OF Keys itself. That
august body took offonco at some criticisms in a
local newspaper, and sentenced tho unfortunate
prisonment in the Old Danish fort. for know. known as a.
Castle Rushen. This matter was taken up by the
English press, and the journalist was released,

England and her Colonies.

A writer in BEacEt0ood's Ad1dEfne
argues at great length against what he
styles the expensive, mischievous
and damaging policy of despatching
twc-thirds of the regular army from
England to protect her colonial posses
sions. Eighty thousand soldiers are
now on this detached" service.
Every man despatched to Quebec costs
the Government forty-five dollars pas
sage money, and a similar amount is
expended to take him back home at the
expiration of his term of service, or
when the recall of his regiment occurs.
For every soldier sent to st. Helena by
steamer, the Government pays eighty
dollars transportation money; by sail
ing vessels, fifty-seven dollars. The
passage money to the West Indies
amounts TO one hundred dollars; to the
Cape ofGoOd Hope, seventy dollars; to
Ceylon, eighty-five dollars; and to Aus
tralia, one hundred and twenty-eight
dollars. ~
Every regiment serving abroad has
to be periodically re-enforced, and
troops are continually going and COM
ing.-All such forces, the writer SAYS,
are temporarily exhnguished. The
Hlonger the voyage, the more inconve-
"nient the loss of their services; which,
"between US and a great maritime ma
'tion, might become permanent by the
. "capture- OF the transports with their
"occupants.p In order to avoid all the
outlays, dangers and embarraSsments,
of this expensive system of protection,
the writer suggests the "handing over
of the colonies to their town military
resources in time of peace" He would
have the Government recall all the reg
ular troops now scattered from India to
Canada, and leave the British posses
sions to themselves. Being thus COM
PEELED to rely upon their own resources,
he thinks the colonies would each one
build mp q military system of its own,
while the discharge OF the troops re-
called home would greatly diminish
the heavy military expenses of the
Crown. The suggestion Is backed up
with numerous rows of figures, and al
lusions to the effectiveness OF the native
army of India.
whether the English Colonies, If thus
virtually abandoned, would remain
loyal to the Crown, Is certainly an
open question. We are inclined TO be.
leve that the withdrawal of the Tegu-
lars from the Canadas would occasion
decided change of sentiment toward
the mother country. When, during
our war, the Home Governments was
seemingly dilatory in desPatching reg
iments TO the Oanadas, = strong feeling
OF dissatisfaction Immediately devel-
oped itself among our neIRhbors. II
England cannot give Us the military
protection required, we might as we'll,
said-one journal, secede at once to the
United States- Regulars, and not home
fOreesy beat back the Eenian invaders,
and the Milesian warriors would Ike
nothing better than to take contract
to bag both OF the CanRdas In months
time. were the suggestion OF the writer
carried ont. We do not well see how
Ensiand can avoid maintaiue her pres
ent expensive military esfablisbuaenE
, and az the same time retain all her re-
mote and defenceless colonies. If len
| tosdefend themselves they would prob
abfr. sooner orlaterF swing clear Of the
mother country.
