I T is impossible to mistake the Duke's opinions on t h e impropriety of weakening the native Indian states, without providing an adequate substitute. He writes of the Nizam t h u s : " I say t h a t I do not want to increase the dependence of the Nizam on the British power; on the contrary, I wish to see some power in the country that can go on, in ordinary cases, by itself." While keeping up the greater powers, he desired to merge the smaller ones in them— at all events to let them die out naturally, as a small oriental power is sure to do if left to itself. He thus writes of Powar Dhar, a minor Mahr a t t a c h i e f " Powar is a chief of the same nominal rank in the empire as Seindia and Ilolkar, but he is not so powerful as either." " We have no right," he explains," to interfere with his power under the articles of the treaty with Seindia, and it is a question whether we ought to interfere on any ground more general. I have always been of opinion," he continues, " that we have weakened Scindia more than is politic, and that we shall repent having established such a number of these little independent powers in India, every one of whom will require t h e support of the British Government, which will occasion a constant demand of employment, < fcc." On a former occasion he wrote :—" We must be cautious in all our proceedings with these fellows, otherwise we shall be burdened with the defence of a pack of rascals of inferior rank, but of the same de seription with their highnesses the Nizam and the Peshwa.'' We do not maintain that even the Duke of Wellington was infallible ; moreover, we are not in possession of his opinions on modern Indian affairs ; but when we find him deprecating the indefinite extension of empire, and advising the maintenance of the more illustrious dynasties, we cannot help regretting the helpless state of Scindia with his mutinous contingent, and wondering whether, if he had remained in the honourable and independent position which Wellesley recommended, if, too, the Nana Sahib of our own times had been left to his own resources instead of being set u p as a puppet prince, the latter would ever have become a thorn in our side. It will perhaps always be uncertain whether the " greased cartridges" were a grievance spontaneously apprehended by t h e troops, or a mere pretence trumped up by some secret foe. If the latter, Nana Sahib may very well have been the man, and in such case we are heavily punished for meddling too minutely in Mahratta politics. Notwithstanding Major- General Wellesley's plainly expressed disapprobation of many features in the Company's government and military system, there is abundant evidence that he entertained the most kindly feeling, personally, towards the great majority of those with whom he was associated in India. The army, the English residents, even the natives, had a share of his good- will, and his farewell addresses were not only courteous, but affectionate. To the officers serving under him at Seringapatam, he writes:—" I have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 27th Feb., and I am much flattered by the expression of vour regret upon the occasion of my departure from this country. The period which has elapsed since I was appointed to the command of Seringapatam has been probably the most eventful of the history of the British nation in India, and that place has always been an important point to the military operations which have been carried on. " The discipline and good order of that garrison, and the efficiency of the public departments, have always been objects of the most anxious solicitude to my mind; and I am happy to have an opportunity of declaring, that the order and regularity of the troops which have been stationed there have been exemplary, and that the efficiency and zeal of the public departments fixed at Seringapatam have been the principal source and foundation of the successes which you have noticed. " I n whatever situation his Majesty may think proper to employ my services, I shall always be interested in the welfare of officers with whoso conduct in their several public capacities I have so much reason to be pleased, and in whose private society I have received so much satisfaction."* I t is difficult to imagine how a man who could write thus could ever have come to be considered morose and unfeeling. Yet, in the latter part of the Duke's career, there was not wanting a small minority which gave him this character. When a man becomes great and powerful he is pretty sure to be a good deal pestered by persons seeking favours or desiring t h e honour of a recognition. Such persons, unless they have some ground to go upon, must not be surprised if they receive a curt answer now and then. We know an instance of a schoolboy who wrote to ask the Duke's opinion on flogging in the army, with the sole object of adding his renowned name to a rising collection of signatures! He obtained an answer— short enough, it is true— but in the Duke's own handwriting. The object was gained, and we believe that the instance was not a solitary one ; but the Duke was discerning enough to see through such devices, and a trifling pleasure to individuals was dearly purchased by the weakening of friendly confidence between him and the public. We are well assured that the army, as a body, felt no distrust of the friendly feeling of their veteran commander. In 1840, when the " remnant of the captains and subalterns of the Peninsula" memorialized the Duke, hoping through his influence to obtain from Government some further recognition of their distinguished services, his answer, though not such as was desired, was courteous in the extreme. He explained that whatever might be the claims of those officers, he was not then in a position to urge them. He was not Commander- in- Chief, he had no influence with the Government, no right to interfere in a matter which was beyond his jurisdiction and out of his present sphere. He pointed out the proper channel of application through the existing authorities, and expressed perfect willingness to give his opinion if required officially to do so. We do not attempt to decide between the Duke and the memorialists. It was natural enough that the latter should leave no lawful means untried, and their old comrade in arms naturally appeared likely to be an efficient advocate ; on the other hand it rested with the Duke to decide as to his own actions, and he was perhaps the only person who could judge as to what he could and what he could not ask of the Government on the strength of his former services. Whether he was right or wrong in his decision, it is certain that he valued and loved the character of a British soldier, and, without being blind to his foibles, stood by him fearlessly to the last, and in all companies. When we shall have contemplated Wellesley in command of a large British force in Europe, we shall be able to investigate more fully t he causes of the sympathy which bound him to his soldiers. In India there can be no doubt of his having been extremely popular. The officers of his division presented him with a magnificent service of plate, embossed with the name of his first important victory, and he received separate addresses from those officers and from the officers of the 33rd. Nor were the non- military residents in India backward in testifying their good- will. The civilians vied with the army in pouring out expressions of regret for his departure, and those of Madras concurred with the officers of the army in giving him a grand farewell banquet at the Pantheon in t h a t city. I n a general order issued on March 9, 1805, after expressing in strong terms his sense of the steady conduct and high military qualifica- * For this and other quotations we'are indebted to Colonel Gurwood. tions of the officers and men of his division, he adds, " Major- General Wellesley cannot avoid noticing and recording the assistance which he has received from officers commanding districts and divisions under his orders, and the officers of the staff appointed to assist him : of the former, some distinguished characters are now no more, and others are gone to Europe, and all are sufficiently known to the troops ; but in noticing the assistance he has received from t h e staff, he must record particularly his obligations to Major Barclay, Captain Bellingham, and Lieut. Campbell of the 78th regiment." To the European inhabitants of the Madras Presidency he wrote:—" Tho successes of the army which I was so fortunate as to command in the late war, are to be attributed to various permanent causes which I hope will never fail to produce similar effects. Tho vigilance of Government enabled them to foresee the impending contest, and preparations corresponding with the extent of t h e operations, calculated to bring the war to a speedy and fortunate issue, were ordered by the Supreme Government, and were carried into execution by the Government of Bombay with promptitude and vigour. The Government were supported in these efforts by the civil and military servants, and by the commercial bodies at the different Presidencies, with the zeal that has distinguished their conduct on all occasions." The following is a portion of his address to the native inhabitants of Seringapatam :—" I have received your affectionate address upon the occasion of my departure for Europe ; and I am much gratified by the proof which it affords t h a t my endeavours to extend to you the benefits to which the subjects of the Honourable Company residing at Seringapatam are entitled, under the existing regulations, have been successful, and that you are fully impressed with the advantages of your situation. I have had frequent opportunities of observing and reporting your loyalty to Government ; and I request you to be convinced, t h at I shall not cease to feel t h e most lively interest in everything which concerns you." But the answer returned to the address of his own regiment through Lieut.- Colonel Gore, will interest the gallant 33rd more than any of the preceding extracts : — " Nearly twelve years," he writes, " have elapsed since His Majesty was pleased to appoint me to beLieut.- Colonel of the 33rd regiment; and in the whole course of that period, during which I have been either in the exercise of the command of the regiment, or in constant communication with the actual commanding officer, I have had every reason to be satisfied with their conduct. It has been my uniform object to maintain the system of discipline, subordination, and interior economy, which I found established in the regiment by the Marquis Cornwallis, our Colonel; and by the influence of this system, the foundation of which is vigilance on the part of the officers to prevent the commission of military crimes, and by the support and assistance which I have uniformly received from Colonel Sherbrooke, Lieut.- Colonel Elliot, and yourself, and the officers of the regiment, my duties as Lieut.- Colonel have always been a pleasing occupation. " I t is most gratifying to me to receive this mark of approbation, convoyed by your letter, from officers with whose conduct I have so much reason to be pleased, and with many of whom I have been so long and intimately acquainted. I beg that you will assure them that I shall never forget their services, and that I shall always be happy to forward their views. I have only to recommend to them to adhere to the system of discipline, subordination, and interior economy, which they have found established in the regiment, and above all to cherish and encourage among themselves the spirit of gentlemen and of soldiers. " With the most anxious wishes for the success and prosperity of yourself and of the 33rd regiment, I am, & c." We must not omit to state that a sword of the value of .£ 1000 was presented to Major- General Wellesley by the British inhabitants of Calcutta. ( To he continued.) 122 THE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. [ Nov. 15, 1857. T H E I N D I A N M U T I N I E S. ( From the Supplement ofthe London Gazette of Friday, October 9.) ( Continuation of Lieut- Colonel J. G. Neill's Report from Benares of Oth June.) I was on the right of our men in the lines when an alarm was given, and I found the Sikhs had suddenly halted, wavered, and eventually gone about and dispersed, having first, however, fired at and tried to shoot their commanding officer and adjutant, and fired upon and wounded several other officers, and fired upon the squadron of irregular cavalrydrawn up in rear of them. 2. I believe, from all I have observed and been told, that, with a few exceptions, the Sikhs were supposed to be quite staunch ; they seemed in the greatest spirits, and anxious to be led against the 37th. The cause of their sudden panic and extraordinary conduct is supposed to have been the turmoil caused in their rear by a Sowar of the 13th Irregular Cavalry having fired at and attempted to cut down the Brigade- Major, Captain Dodgson, on his riding up to assume command of them by the Brigadier's order, their own commanding officer having been killed before reaching parade by t h e men of the 37th Native Infantry. On hearing the shot and shouts the Sikhs turned round and fired on their officers and our men ; one man who had fired at Colonel Gordon was immediately shot by one of his Havildars. 3. The Artillery, on observing the disaffection of the Sikhs, opened upon them with considerable effect; they broke and ran, as did the irregular cavalry. After this I completed the expulsion of the 37th Regiment from their lines, and burnt them, and withdrew my men and guns into position in the barrack, securing myself for the night. 4. Early next morning I sent out parties and brought in the arms, accoutrements, and colours of the 37th that had been left in their lines, as also some of the Sikhs. I al30 arranged with the civil authorities to remove the treasure from its most insecure and unmilitary position in the civil lines, and detached a party, consisting of 100 men of Her Majesty's 10th and Madras Fusileers, and 25 Sowars, Irregular Cavalry, under Lieutenant- Colonel Gordon, and had it all brought up and secured in the barracks. 5. On my arriving here I had observed and expressed my opinion on the insecurity of this treasure, under charge only of a native guard of Sikhs, who, however, stood firm and deserve the greatest credit for their loyal conduct. I consider the peril in which this treasure has been placed has been for some time imminent; and I feel assured that had the steps taken against the 37th been deferred until the following morning the outbreak would have taken place that night when unprepared, and no efficient assistance could have been rendered by the troops to the European families in cantonments, who would have been left to the mercy of the miscreants let loose on such an occasion. I had a party of Madras Fusileers at a building called tho Mint, and arranged with the Brigadier, before going on parade, that should any disturbance occur all tho families should go there for protection. This was carried out, the party of Europeans there giving confidence and acting as a check to plunderers ; the mutineers, who broke and fled, deserted cantonments rapidly, many of them throwing away their arms. I now hold the barracks and Mint- house between cantonments and city with my Europeans, and have some native guards of trustworthy men as pickets in different parts of cantonments, and feel the cantonments are all safe; and when a few more European troops come up I intend planting a picket at the church, when all the houses in cantonments may, I consider, with safety be again occupied. About ninety of tho irregular cavalry remained faithful, and are now doing duty, patrolling and keepiug off the " Budmashes" from the city from entering cantonmcnts. About 190 of the Sikh regiment, who were on treasure and other guards, are still with us, and remain faithful. A few of them I have promoted for their good conduct when the regiment broke i and fled. A further report will be made on head. this subject, as well as regarding some men of the irregular cavalry I have also promoted for loyalty and good conduct. I beg to state that we have lost several officers and soldiers on this unfortunate occasion, as follows :— Killed— Captain Guise, commanding irregular cavalry, murdered by 37th men ; one apothecary, Her Majesty's 10th, ditto; two men, I l e r Majesty's 10th, shot on parade. Wounded— Shot on parade— Ensign Chapman, 37th regiment, Native Infantry, dangerously ; Ensign Hayter, 25th Native Infantry, doing duty, 37th, dangerously ; EnsignTweedie, 4th Native Infantry, doing duty, 37th, severely; eight privates, Her Majesty's 10th; Quartermaster- Sergeant Maidman, 25th Native Infantry, doing duty with Sikh Regiment, severely. All ranks behaved as British soldiers : the hard work and exposure to the sun were most cheerfully borne. I beg to bring to notice particularly the assistance I have received from Lieut.- Col. Gordon, commanding the Sikhs; Lieut.- Col. Spottiswoode, 37th; the Brigade- Major, Capt. Dodgson ; Capt. Olpherts, commanding the Artillery; and Lieut. Gosling, Adj u t a n t , Madras Fusileers.

Sir,— The forces under my command marched from Allipore at 1 this morning, and on reaching Badulee Ke- Serai found the enemy strongly posted in an intrenched position, which I have the satisfaction to inform you was carried after an engagement of about three- quarters of an hour, and proceeded to take up our present position, which wo found to be over disputed ground the whole way, and finally, in a welldefended line of defence, from the signal- tower to Hindoo Rao's house. Our troops behaved with the greatest gallantry and persevering endurance, and, after facing a very determined resistance, drove the enemy within the walls of Delhi ; all this was accomplished by nine o'clock in the morning. Our loss has been comparatively trifling, only one officer being killed, but I regret to say t h a t officer was Col. Chester, Adjutant- General of the Army, who was esteemed by all for every qualification that can adorn the soldier. I have not been able to ascertain the particulars of our loss, or our capture of guns, but I fear I cannot estimate the former under 40 to 50 killed, the number of guns taken to be about 16 or 18. I do not in this hurried despatch attempt to recommend any one, but I cannot pass over the assistance I received from Brigadier- General Wilson, whose cool judgment entitles him to an equal share of any merit that may be given to the officer in command. From the Brigadier- General and staff of the army attached to me from the divisional staff I received every support, and from my personal staff, Captain Barnard and Lieutenant Turnbull, the most daring devotion. The conduct of the Ghoorka battalion, the Sappers, and other native troops employed, was most praiseworthy ; they vied with their European comrades in forward daring. The troops of the native contingents did equally good service, including those of the Jheend llajah ; and I cannot close this without especial mention of many gentlemen attached to t h e army in civil capacities, who not only accompanied us into the field, but did every service the extended nature of our position rendered prominent in keeping up mutual communication. I hope to send you a fuller detail to- morrow. Our siege train is up, and I hope to open on the town without a moment's delay. P. S. I find the captured guns amount to 26, and I desire to add to this, in justice to myself, special notice of the assistance I received from Col. Congreve, C. B., Acting Adjutant- General of Her Majesty's Forccs in I n d i a ; Colonel Becher, ' Quartermaster- General of the Army; and Colonel the Hon. R. Curzon, Military Secretary to the late Commander- in- Chief, who never l e ft me ; Captain Norman, Assistant Adjutant- General of the Army, and on whom the important duties of Adjutant- General devolved on the death of Colonel Chester ; and Colonel Young, Judge- Advocate- General of the Army, who accompanied me during the whole of tho action.

Sir,— I have the honour to report, for tho information of General Reed, commanding the forces, t h a t the enemy attacked the position occupied by the troops under my command this morning in force. The troops actcd throughout with gallantry and coolness, and the affair ended iu the total repulse of the Nov. 15, 185?.] TlIE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. 123 enemy, who have retreated to the city. At about a quarter to 5 a. m. the attack first began. On my ascertaining that both flanks were being attacked, the usual supports were not only sent up to the position on the heights, but the whole of the troops tinder my command were speedily under arms and marched up to reinforce the pickets and to drive back the enemy. This was first accomplished on the left, the enemy falling back under the fire of the troops, and, after being beaten back from the right, they came on again for a second attack, under cover of the thickly- wooded gardens near the Subjee Mundee. The 1st Bengal European Fusileers were sent against them, under the command of Major Jacob, and succeeded most gallantly in not only driving the enemy back, but pursued them, skirmishing all through the thickly wooded gardens of the Subjee Mundee. It was about half- past 7 a. m. when the troops began to be recalled, and the assembly first sounded for the skirmishers. In comparison with the strength of the attack our loss was small, and I trust to be able to send in without delay the official returns of the killed and wounded. I have heard as yet of only one casualty among the officers, Captain Knox, 75th Regiment, who was killed when reinforcing the picket at the Flag- staff Tower, and while driving back the enemy. The loss on the other side to the enemy must have been considerable, and, although difficult to estimate, could not have been less than 250. ( To be continued.) REPORT ON THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMISSIONS IN T H E ARMY. ( Continued from page 110.) OFFICEBS who have been promoted from the ranks are left in a similar position, since their education can seldom qualify them for further advancement in competition with others who have been instructed at the military college. The principle of selection enables the excutive Government to secure able and energetic men for t h e higher ranks and for the command of regiments. It should, moreover, be remembered that during the existence of this military system Algeria has afforded a wide field wherein to test the qualifications of officers. We have referred to the regulations of the French army because they appear to have been adopted as the basis of military organization in other states, and indeed, if it should be decided to abolish the system of purchase in the British army, it will be found indispensable to introduce the two principles which give vigour to the French service,— namely, promotion by selection and compulsory retirement. A scheme for the abolition of purchase and for the substitution of another system of army promotion and retirement has been submitted to our consideration by Sir C. Trevelyan, the Assistant- Secretary of the Treasury. This scheme will be found in the Appendix, together with the financial statements adduced in its support. The evidence of Sir C. Trevelyan furnishes explanations of his plan. The general principle of this scheme is borrowed from the French m i l t a r y system, qualified, however, by the adoption of regulations which have of late years been partially introduced into our own civil service. The first commission in the army, Sir C. Trevelyan recommends, should be obtained by a competitive examination between candidates nominated by the Commander- in- Chief. The successful candidate is then to go through a course of professional training at a military college for a period of two years. His education at this establishment is not to be assisted by any pecuniary contribution from the state, and the advantage now given at Sandhurst to the sons of old officers is to be discontinued. The young man having passed the College is to enter the army without further examination until he reaches the rank of captain. Promotion up to the rank of captain is to be two- thirds by seniority and one- third by selection. Captains and all higher ranks are to be appointed by selection. A system of examination for the captaincy is to be provided, which will give the means to those who have risen from the ranks of competing with officers who have had the advantage of a professional education. The comparative merits of officers and their fitness for promotion are to be ascertained by a system of inspection with reports similar to that which prevails in the French army. The rank of major is to be abolished, and the promotion above the rank of captain is no longer to be regimental. Retirement is to be based upon a mixed system of voluntary and compulsory retirement, according to a principle proposed by the Civil Service Superannuation Commissioners. The staff is to be a separate corps, as in the French service. All exchanges from one regiment to another are to be forbidden. Such is the general outline of the plan recommended by Sir C. Trevelyan. He has also placed before us a financial statement, from which it appears that in the future pay of the regimental officers he proposes an increase of £ 118,789 yearly, with a reduction of ,£ 56,449 in the allowances now granted. In the establishment of general officers he proposes a reduction. The recapitulation of his whole scheme exhibits an increase in the charge for effective services of £ 31,612, while for the noneffective services, by reducing the amount of widows' pensions and the amount of half- pay, and by omitting altogether the rewards for military service, the charge is reduced by .£ 113,478. Upon the whole statement, therefore, as given in by Sir C. Trevelyan, there is an estimated decrease of expenditure of £ 81,866. The scheme proposed by Sir C. Trevelyan comprises important changes in the organization of the army, as well as in the system of promotion and in the pay of officers. Credit is taken for a saving of £ 42,000 by the abolition of agency, for which no substitute is provided. The establishment of general officers is reduced from 234 to 193— a change which undoubtedly would be economical, but which must retard the current of promotion, as will be seen by a reference to the memorandum on this scheme which is inserted in the Appendix. The charge for non- effective services is stated at a diminished amount, but it seems improbable that under & system combining voluntary with compulsory retirement such a saving could be effected. Since, however, the scheme of Sir C. Trevelyan has been submitted to the Seeretary- of- War, and will be examined by the officers in that department, we have not deemed it necessary to take further evidence upon the proposed scheme, or its probable cost to the country. The augmentation in the military expenditure of the country is, however, of subordinate importance in comparison with other considerations which are involved in this change. P u t t i ng aside for t h e present all financial difficulties which might interfere with the attempt to abolish the purchase system, and assuming that Parliament had not only provided the sum to which officers desirous of retiring by sale are entitled under the purchase system, but were also prepared to grant an increased amount for the annual maintenance of the army, if necessary, we have yet to consider whether in this country such a change could be effected with advantage, and by what measures it should be introduced. The evidence annexed to this report proves that any general scheme of promotion by selection would not be favourably received by the officers of the British army. It would be equally offensive to the purchasing and to the non- purchasing corps. The commission on army promotion in the year 1854 recommended a limited application of the principle of selection, but they accompanied this recommendation with suggestions intended as far as possible to defeat the influences of private friendship and of political preference. With this view they proposed that whenever appointments were made out of the regular course of army promotion, the services of the officer selected should be detailed for public information. It is obvious that if selection were to be applied to the junior ranks, this security would be very much diminished. In imitation of the French system, it may be suggested that special inspectors should be appointed to visit and examine the regiments, and that all promotion should be based upon a careful consideration of their reports. Such a scheme could hardly be applied to the British army. Inspectors could not be sent annually from the Horse Guards to visit regiments dispersed from Canada to Australia. A fair and practical system of examination for the purpose of promotion cannot be extemporized by a commission ; it must be based upon a long experience of military men, modified by a variety of considerations, in order that due encouragement may be given to all the qualifications and attainments which contribute to an officer's efficiency. Before any scheme of promotion by selection is extensively introduced in the British army, there should be a general confidence that the power of selection will not be misused. The military appointments made during late years, as well in this country as in the Crimea, have not tended to satisfy the army with the mode in which the principle of selection has been applied. I t may be suggested that if the purchase system were abolished, promotion up to the rank of captain might be safely left to the rule of seniority. Such a measure would have an injurious effect on the efficiency of the army; the regiments would in a few years be filled with old lieutenants and captains, and there would be no opportunity of selecting officers for the higher ranks except from among those whose age must necessarily impair their efficiency; under such an incomplete arrangement the principle of selection might fail in bringing to the higher ranks officers qualified for active service in the field. If the purchaes system were to be abolished and promotion by seniority should become the rule of the service, the whole army would either be reduced to the condition in which the ordnance corps were placed in the years subsequent to the peace of 1815, or, what is' more probable, an unauthorized practice would arise, a sum of money would be subscribed in the regiment, or pecuniary influence would be in some way employed to induce officers to retire; thus, even after the abolition of the purchase system, much of the hardship and of the evils incident to that system would recur. I t seems doubtful whether any scheme of retirement, however liberal, would produce such a current of promotion as to enable the executive Government to rely on the efficiency of officers raised to the higher ranks by seniority alone. According to the establishment of the army, a regiment contains eight or ten ensigns, and an equal number of lieutenants and of captains; but as there are only two majors, it is manifest that a large proportion of captains must remain for a long time in that rank waiting for t h e next step, retarding the rise of the lieutenants, and checking all promotion in the regiment. Here the purchase system operates favourably for the public service, since it is found that a number of these captains and lieutenants retire by the sale of their commissions, and make room for the advancement of younger men. A pension graduated according to the length of service or to the rank of the officer would not have this beneficial effect, but would, on the contrary, induce the officer to remain, in the certainty of securing hereafter an increased allowance. When it is said that an officer selling out only receives back his own money which he had previously paid for commissions, and that the same amount originally placed in the funds would have furnished a simpler and more convenient provision for his retirement, it is answered that this representation of the case, however specious, is not in accordance with the usual facts or with the practical operation of the system. Friends and relations often come forward at great pecuniary inconvenience to themselves to purchase the first commission or to assist the promotion of a young officer, but these persons would not be equally ready to provide a fund for his f u t u re retirement. Here, therefore, the officer selling out obtains a sum of money which, except under the purchase system, he would never have acquired. The retirement of old officers, which is essential to the efficiency of the army, is facilitated by the purchase system, nor would a rule of compulsory retirement, unless assisted by a large grant of public money, be found to be an adequate substitute for the pre 124 THE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. [ Nov. 15, 1857. sent sale of commissions. The adoption of selection would, if judiciously exercised, secure the ablest men for t h e higher regimental ranks, but this would necessarily leave every regiment filled during a protracted peace with old captains and lieutenants, who must wait, with little hope of promotion, until they reached the age fixed for their retirement. _ Passing by for the present the difficult question of retirement from the army, we have considered in what way the principle of selection could be introduced, what securities can be suggested for its j u s t application, and under what authority such a power could be administered. The introduction of such a change in t h e organization of the British army is beset with difficulties. The present body of officers have entered the army and served in the faith of another system, and they would complain if they suddenly found themselves superseded under the operation of new rules. We have in vain endeavoured to obtain evidence which might enable us to point out a mode by which such a change could be gradually introduced. None of tho military witnesses examined had considered the subject in its details, and their observations afford no assistance towards a practical solution of these difficulties. I t may be suggested that young men should in f u t u r e obtain their first commissions without purchase, after which their future promotion should be subject to such regulations as might be laid down for the advancement of officers by selection. Such a system could not be brought into operation in a regiment where officers have already purchased their commissions, unless the Government were prepared to buy out the officers who were unwilling to servo under this new code of regulations. A change of this extent would disturb the regimental system throughout the British army, and it would soon be obvious t h a t a new scheme cf entry and promotion cannot be generally introduced until the purchase system shall have been entirely abolished. Many reasons induce us to believe that, instead of commencing with the new entries, the principle of selection might with more facility, and with more advantage to the public service, be applied to the highest rank in the regiment. ( To bo continued.) F O R E I G N M I L I T A R Y MEMORANDA. GENERAL CAVAIGNAC.— France h a s lost t h e Dictator who, loyal to his word, laid down Ms power when the service for which it liad been given him was performed. Louis Eugene Cavaignae died on the 28th of October, of aneurism of the heart, while snipe- shooting on the estate of liis friend, M. Beaumont of the Sarthe. General Cavaignac was horn in 1802. He was the son of a well- known member of the Convention. He entered the army through the Polytechnic School. His first campaign was made in Greece; his next in Algeria, whither he was sent, it is supposed, on account of his professed republican opinions. In Algeria, Cavaignae earned great distinction; and when the Republic was proclaimed in 1848 he was appointed governor- general of the colony. Being elected to the National Assembly, lie returned to France, and was appointed minister of war. When the insurrection of June broke out, the Provisional Government resigned, and Cavaignac was appointed Dictator by a vote of the National Assembly. By . his skilful arrangements he suppressed the insurrection, and having done so resigned the Dictatorship. He was forthwith appointed President of the Council. At the close of 1848 Cavaignac was a candidate for the office of President of the Republic; but he was defeated by the present emperor, who polled 5,534,520 votes to 1,448,302 polled for Cavaignac. In December 1851 Cavaignac was arrested with the other members of the Legislature, but released after a brief detention. He did not quit France, hut married, settled in Paris, and kept aloof from a reigning power which he never recognized. His death occasions a vacancy in the representation of Paris. THE Moniteur de I'Armee announces that the Minister of War has just called out 42,000 men of the class of 1856. The Presse observes that this is only about half of the contingent voted, and therefore infers from the fact a corroboration of the hopes of a general disarmament. SINCE the departure of troops from the camp of Chalons, works have been actively going on there. The emperor has despatched M. Gautherot, the hydroscope who rendered considerable services in Africa, to discover wells, and it is hoped that each division will, in future, be amply provided with water. A canal along the rivulet of Mourmelon is spoken of. Some hundred cows are about to he sent to the stables lately occupied by the horses of the Cent Gardes, in order to turn the building to account. Finally, brick ovens are about to be constructed, which will replace the campaigning ovens ( in cast iron) used during the late assembly of troops. IMPORTANT works are to he commenced at Vincennes next season. A vast space of land extending on the right of the castle down to the Military Hospital, will be purchased, and this ground will be connected with the square by means of a bastioned enclosure, and will contain a large park of artillery. Thus the emperor is every day making Paris stronger against revolutionary risings. Most of the general improvements thathave taken place within the last five years were as much for strategic purposes as for ornament. It has been observed that some of the present alterations are causing the destruction of houses of note. Among others, the dwelling in the Rue St. Claude, in which the famous Marshal Turenne was born, is now being taken down. RECEUITINGINFBANCE.— As the question makes some stir at home, it maybe worth while to glance at its statistics among our nearest neighbours. Among the seven successive " classes" of conscripts who became liable to serve from 1831 to 1837, there were found fit for service 504,000; unfit, no less than 459,000. The falling off was still greater in the corresponding seven years, 1839— 1845, when 491,000 were declared unfit, while only 486,000 were really adapted for service In both periods, nearly or more than a half of the young men whose turn had arrived were pronounced unfit. In Prussia the proportion is found not a whit more favourable. GUN FACTORIES OF LIEGE.—- Thi3 town, the chief seat of the gun trade, manufactured and proved, between 1850 and 1856, the following numbers of fire- arms for sporting purposes, show, and the supply ot the trade:— Single- barrelled guns, 211,153 ; double do. do., 103,711; stocks, 46,620 ; holster pistols ( pairs), 20,921; pocket do. do., 128,040. The fabrication of these was the work of a hundred manufacturers, employing from ten to twelve thousand men. The value of arms exported in the last three years was— 1854. 9,590,106 francs; 1855, 9,157,543 francs; 18- 56, 11,384,622 francs. The value of those imported into England from this source was, in 1850, only 20,000 francs; in 1855, a million and a half; and in 1856 it reached two millions and a half. One or other of two inferences seems necessarily to follow from these facts: either that Belgian guns are sold in this country as English, or that the gun- makers of this country cannot turn out a weapon at once as good and as cheap as those manufactured in the workshops of Liege. AT the conclusion of the long and desolating wars of the first French Empire, the various States agreed to reduce their public expenditure, which had at that time become intolerable, and was so great as to threaten to dry up the very sources of production. But the Governments, short- sighted and treacherous, broke faith with each other, withheld promised ameliorations, kept alive the spirit of discontent and revolution, and formed a holy alliance to repress the danger of their own creation. The policy embodied in the Vienna treaties rendered nugatory whatever good intentions may have existed. Large standing armies were maintained on foot to keep down continental revolution; the States were exhausted with taxes which served to keep up the revolutionary spirit; the ordinary incomes did not suffice for the great expenditure, and loan after loan was contracted, until now, since 1815, the mass of the public debt of Europe has been augmented to the most gigantic and formidable dimensions. Every revolution and revolutionary attempt added to the number of bayonets and to the sum total of the debt. The years of 1821,1830,1848, are epochs memorable in their way. The traditional policy of Governments pointed rather to repression than concession, and by increasing the pecuniary burdens of the people added largely to tlieir discontent. This is somewhat the present situation of the Continent. France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia maintain large armies, not so much, we CODE DE JUSTICE MILITAIRE, POUR L'ARMEE'DE TEREE. LOI DE JUIN, 1857.— This code, of the date of July 9th of the current year, was promulgated in the Moniteur of August the 4th, and will doubtless be an acceptable boon to the French army. The first book deals with the three sorts of military tribunals by which justice is administered in the French army— that is to say, councils of war, councils of revision, and prevotgs. There is a permanent council of war in each territorial division, and, if the service should require it, a second may be established by a decree of the Emperor. The ordinary permanent council is composed of a colonel or lieutenant- colonel as president, with six judges, consisting of a chef de bataillon, clief d'escadron, or major, two captains, a lieutenant, ensign, and non- commissioned officer ; but it is constituted on an ascending scale, in proportion to the rank of the accused. The nomination rests with the general commanding the division, but in the case of a colonel, general officer, or marshal of France, the court is named by the Minister of War. Each council is attended by an imperial commissary, a reporter, and a clerk of the court ( grejier), the former of at least equal rank with the accused, and everything like partiality or prejudice is studiously provided against by special articles to that end. Permanent councils of revision are established in the territorial divisions, whose number, sittings, & c., are regulated by imperial decree, inserted in the Bulletin des Lois. These councils are ordinarily composed of a general of brigade as president, and four judges, two colonels or lieutenant- colonels, and two officers of a rank analogous to major. If, however, the council of war from which the appeal lies has been presided over by a general of division or marshal of France, the president of the council of revision must he of equal rank. Councils of war are established when several divisions are united to form an army or corps d'armSe, two to each division, composed according to the preceding rules, with such modifications as circumstances may necessitate ; and councils of revision are formed at the headquarters of the army on analogous principles. Councils of both kinds are also established at all places in a state of war or siege. When the army is in the field, the Commandant of the Gendarmerie of the Army, and the Commandants of Gendarmerie Divisions, under the titles of Grand Prevot and Prevots, exercise a summary jurisdiction over all camp- followers, vagabonds, and pri - soners of war not being officers. The decisions of the pr^ votes are without appeal. THE Russian Medical Gazette mentions that the late war entailed upon Russia the loss of 382 medical men. IT seems at last certain that the long- talkedof reduction of the Austrian army has been resolved on by the emperor. At the beginning of the t" military fyear " ( it began on the first of November) all the depot battalions of the regiments of the line were to be done away with. The companies of the infantry regiments, which will be composed of three battalions, will consist of 80 men, instead of 120, as they do at present. As the army in the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom will, when so reduced, hardly he strong enough to perform the customary garrison duty, an infantry regiment will he sent as a reinforcement from one of the German provinces. Tho reduction of the army in Italy alone willfamount to 25,000 men, and no fewer than 30 generals will be put on the pension list. The strength of the regiments in Ancona and Bologna will not be diminished. It is calculated that the abovementioned reduction will lead to a saving of 50,000,000fl. a year, and it is not doubted that the measure in question is in consequence of the meeting of the two emperors at Weimar. A GREEK LEGION FOR INDIA.— An I o n i a n gentleman suggests the formation of a Greek Legion for India. Greeks, he observes, would fight with peculiar zeal against Mohammedans, on account of the atrocities committed by the Turks on their countrymen and countrywomen during the war of independence— atrocities even exceeding those of the rebels of Delhi and Cawnpore. Sir Charles Napier says of the Ionian Islands, in his work on the Colonies, that " they can furnish a considerable body of seamen, and in time of war could raise a believe, for purposes of foreign - . , i T I' - . aggress. linoonn AoCr dwof dfiins pnoAsfalrbnliel i+ bioo dy Aof f ^ i6- p, 0p0lr0 idg ofot. d « nslHolifdiVie rllsV, Tbleflstliidrfei s- internal defence as a protection to the despotism of their governments against the ill- stifled indignation of their subjects. This applies much more to Austria than to France, more to France than to Russia, and more to Russia than to the other State. Russia, indeed, does not fear its own subjects, but keeps up its enormous armaments for other purposes, and to aid its allies in their insane policy of repression. 30,000 militia. A Greek is a soldier by nature; his sight is so keen that it surprises our most expert: sportsmen ; his body is well made and active; he is capable of hearing great fatigue, and requires little sustenance." It may here be observed, however, that the sentiments cherished by the inhabitants of the Ionian Islands towards the British Government are, at present, of a somewhat doubtful character. Nov. 15, 185?.] TlIE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. 125 THE celebrated gunmaker of the Boulevard cles Italiens, M. Devisme, has lately made a most ingenious application of the invention of exploding balls. The balle foudroyante, or exploding ball in question, is of a cylindrical form, eight centimetres in length, and composed of a copper tube, covered at its base with a coating of lead for about two centimetres, or somewhat less than an inch. The projecting bands on this coating exactly fit into the grooves of the rifled barrel, the calibre of which is the same as that of the carabine de Vincenncs. The upper portion consists of a copper cone, screwed into the tube of the ball. This cone is furnished with a piston, at the lower end of which is placed an ordinary cap, resting on a steel traverse, which determines the percussion by the recoil of the piston, when it conies in contact with the body, which it meets with in the course of the projectile's flight. This ball contains six grammes of powder. AH Devisme's incendiary balls exploded without fail on their contact with cases containing inflammable materials, and caused their destruction. AUSTRIAN OFFICERS.— According to the last " Schematismus," or army list, the total number of officers in the Austrian service is 15,461, divided, with respect to social standing, as follows : — the emperor himself, 21 archdukes, 5 dukes, 50 princes, 590 counts, 900 barons, 576 ritters or knights,< 2,700 of noble birth, land 10,552 of plebeian extraction. Accounts from Frankfort state that a serious conflict had taken place between the soldiers of the federal garrison and men of Austrian and Bavarian regiments. The affray commenced at the Pfaelzerhof ballrooms, and was continued in the public streets. Swords and bayonets were brought freely into use, and a great number of the soldiers were wounded on both sides. The commandant of the garrison has adopted the most rigourous measures to prevent a recurrence of such scenes. A NEW DESCRIPTION OF RECRUITS FOR INIDA.— I n Toronto, and we believe in several other parts of Canada, there are Emancipation Societies, composed for the most part of escaped slaves and free coloured men. We are not aware of the aggregate of their numbers, and as coloured people usually come to Canada by the " under- ground railroad," we are not able to say what proportion they bear to our whole population. They number, however, we should say, at least 10,000 in Upper Canada; and we have understood that they contemplate offering to raise a regiment either to go to India, to serve in Canada, or to be employed in any way, or for any period, that may be deemed most advisable by the Imperial Government. The offer is at once both patriotic and honourable; and will, whatever maybe the decision as totheregiment, giveno ordinary pleasure to the Queen and people of England. The offer, at this particular period, is in excellent taste; and we question much if better men could be got for service in India. The climate would be exactly suited to them; and they have more than once proved in Canada their value as soldiers. — Toronto Colonist. THE SEPOYS.— Sprungfromaclass which regards the profession of a soldier as only second iri honour to that of a priest; infinitely superior in pay and material comforts to the native cultivator or the mechanic; treated both in cantonments and in the field not simply on a par, but in many points with more solicitous consideration than the European soldier; indulged with regular furloughs to visit the home of his youth, his family, or the shrines of his religion; rising to commissions by seniority; decorated with an order of merit; and finally assured of a handsome pension on retirement— no private soldier in the world enjoys the advantages of his profession to the same extent as the Bengal Sepoy. His position was declared by Lord Dalhousie to be incapable of improvement. All his temptation, in short, arises from having his own way too much and too often; and of this the government have latterly become so sensible, that orders have been issued to abstain from the old practice of recruiting exclusively or chiefly in the same districts, and to promote a due admixture of castes in the ranks. Every regiment ought to contain at least 200 Sikhs— men who, maintaining asuflicient amount of amour proi> re on other grounds, regard the Brahminical pretensions with contempt. The Brahmin, however, is tall and well- formed, docile, polite, and gentlemanly in his demeanour. Six feet in height, and forty inches round the chest, are attractions irresistible to recruiting officers and commandants; and, in spite of the orders, the two higher castes liavo continued to maintain their preponderance in the Bengal infantry.— Blackwood's Magazine. AMUSEMENTS OF THE MONTH. WE are glad to see that deservedly popular actress, Madame Celeste, on the boards again after her severe illness. She supports a c ' a ss of characters which are peculiarly adapted to her organization. Not, indeed, that she needs to confine herself to such a class, for she is one of those gifted artistes who can do anything they try. But there are certain things which nobody can do as she can. Who, like her, can show us the alternation of primaeval innocence and deep womanly feeling displayed in the part of Miami ? or what other actress can throw herself with such abandonnement into the multifarious transformations of the " Mysterious Stranger " 1 There was, indeed, a Miss Woolgar ; but, alas! she has left a public that adored her, and retired into domestic bliss. Shall wo ever see her again in " P a u l Pry," in the " Green Bushes," in " Good Night, Signor Pantalon," in Mephistopheles 1 Shall we ever again admire her thrilling voice, her rich drollery, her boundless versatility, her irresistible coolness 1 We should be graceless indeed to complain of the entertainments of the ADELPHI, while Madame Celeste presides; but though we are not larlare enough to wish for an exchange, wo cannot help longing to see our old favourite, Miss Woolgar, side by side with her former companion. The ADELPHI is itself again — the Adelphi of old times ; and one is irresistibly reminded of the early favourites. " The Green Bushes," a piece which has lasted long enough to bo called " The Evergreen Bushes," is being performed still; and we cannot help remarking, by the way, the admirable manner in which Miss Mary Keeley supports the character of the Irish foster- sister. Remembering as we do the earliest attempts of this young actress, and comparing with them her present performances, we feel confident that, with characteristics essentially differing from those of her father and mother, she will yet prove a worthy seion of a renowned house. We must add, before leaving the ADELPHI, that Mr. B. Webster is shortly expected, and that a " screaming sketch " ( vide play- bill) entitled " The Drapery Question, or Who's for India ?" is now being performed. The HAYMARKET offers us a new comedy, entitled " An Unequal Match;" the PRINCESS'S continues to present " The Tempest," which we have already noticed, and respecting which we need only remind our readers that our opinion was favourable, without any alloy of blame. The rows we have hoard of at HER MAJESTY'S are aproof that Mons. Jullien's concerts have not lost their popularity. In fact, the house is crowded every night, and that pleasing singer, Madlle. J e t t y Treffz, has her share in filling it. Her popularity is incontestable, and all the enthusiasm of six years ago rises again when she sings the old favourite " Trab, trab." The English opera at the LYCEUM is one of the most important dramatic features of the year. We cannot tell— probably the projectors themselves do not know yet— whether it is commercially successful; but it surely is so artistically. Mr. Balfe's new opera, " The Rose of Castille," has been brought out in a style which shows what a native manager and manageress can do. We trust that a second season may evidence the vitality of a native opera company, and call forth productions from many composers who only want a field for the display of their talents. We are glad to be able to state that the " Handel Festival" succeeded as a speculation, and that the hopes held forth of a still more important performance in 1859 will probably be realized. The London members of the chorus, and, we believe, many other gentlemen and ladies, have already received invitations to attend a practice at Exeter Hall on the third Friday in each month, from November, 1857, to April, 1858. Such a training will serve to keep them together, and to prepare them for future efforts. OUR SPARE COLUMN. England has 8 batteries horse artillery to 27 regiments cavalry, France 40 batteries to 60 regiments, and Prussia 27 batteries to 38 regiments. Thus, in England, each battery corresponds to 3 § regiments of cavalry, in France to 1J, and in Prussia to l i f ; or, in round numbers, these states have twice as'much horse artillery as England, in proportion to the amount of cavalry. Reasoning from analogy, therefore, we must admit that we have by no means too much horse artillery, and that the trifling augmentation lately made was dictated by sound policy; moreover, that, in the event of a continental war of any duration, our weakness in this arm would lie manifestly felt, and a further augmentation of 10 or 12 batteries rendered imperatively necessary. All action of an army in war must arise from two motives, and tend in two directions— that is to say, offence and defence. With regard to the first of these, the duty of field artillery is, as the French Aide- Memoire very justly expresses it, not to destroy a few men of the enemy, more or less, nor even to dismount a few of his guns, but to effect a breach in his front, which may open the way to victory; or, in other words, to sweep out of the path of the army to which it belongs all obstructions which may prevent or retard its course, whether these be of an animate or inanimate nature. Wherever such impediments obstruct the advance of the vanguard, there will the action of the artillery begin. In times past, this fundamental rule has often been broken, as, for instance, when the artillery has been hastily brought up, the moment the enemy has come in sight. But now that there is an increased danger of loss to the field artillery, if brought too early under the influence of the modern small arms, this rule must be considered absolute. Are you subordinate ? Never criticise the orders of your superiors. Respect a position full of difficulties. If you cannot alter a plan which appears to you to bo vicious, remember that it may still succeed through your bravery and your goodwill. Do not discourage your comrades who may be less quicksighted than yourself; you will damp their ardour, which might have been sufficient to make up for the most absurd conceptions. If you are in need of the advice of your inferiors, ask for it skilfully and in an indirect manner, and reflect twice before adopting it, even if it appear judicious at first sight. You may have the object and aim given you, but as soon as you are in presence of an enemy, do not accept any plan ready- made, or any fixed instructions from your Government on the manner of carrying on the war. The selection of your person must imply the most complete reliance on you on the part of those that have appointed you. If they send you their orders from a distance, resign at once the command, for history shows that both ministers and kings, who are far from danger, cannot so well judge of the state of affairs as a skilful man seeing with his own eyes. Remember Montecuculi, who, at the end of a campaign, returned all the dispatches with the seals unbroken, which were sent to dictate to him what his operations should be. Go further still: bum such despatches, lest you may be tempted to read them. If you knew their contents, your mind might be disturbed, and the clearness of your conceptions affected by the influence of extraneous ideas.— Maxims on the Art of War.

THE intelligence received " within the last few days from India confirms with further details the capture of DELHI, and announces the anxiously looked for relief of LUCKNOW. Delhi, it appears, which fell into our hands on the 20th September, was entirely subjugated on the 21st, and the whole of the enemy expelled. In the assault of the 14th, 61 officers and 1,178 men, being one- third of the storming force, were killed and wounded, a loss which recalls to memory some of the bloodiest passages in military history. The old king, said to be 90 years of age, surrendered to Captain IIODSON and his cavalry, about 15 miles south of Delhi. The lives of himself and his chief wife were spared, two of his sons and a grandson, however, being shot on the very spot of their capture, five miles from Delhi, and their bodies brought to the city, and exposed at the Police- office. The latest particulars from this seat of rebellion, reaching to the 3rd of October, describe General GREATHED with a column 2,000 strong, as sent in pursuit of fugitives, and moving on to Anop Shekar, on the way to Rohilcund. Turning to LUCKNOW, our intelligence describes the condition of this city with its little band of heroic defenders, who had held out for so long and weary a period against the fierce and repeated assaults of its besieging host, as being so perilous, on the morning of the 25th of September, the day of its relief, that it was on the very point of being mined and blown up, when General HAVELOCK, having previously stormed and carried the enemy's position at Meengarsour, on the 21st, continued his advance towards Lucknow, driving the insurgents before him, relieved the Residency on the 25th, on the 26th stormed the besiegers' entrenchment; and between that date and the 2nd of October had taken possession, after an obstinate resistance, resulting in the loss of from 400 to 500 killed and wounded, of nearly the whole of the city. Such are the scanty particulars, which, in the absence of the official despatches, have as yet reached us of these two splendid achievements, which must effectually crush any latent feeling of rebellion in the Presidency of Bengal. We have not, however, obtained these glorious victories without a sacrifice. The capturc of Delhi was purchased by the life of General NICHOLSON ; and the relief of Lucknow by the slaughter of General NEILL, two officers whom it may be remembered were mentioned some few weeks ago in the London Gazette as having been promoted to the Companionship of tho Bath, in reward of their distinguished Indian service. Sic transit gloria mundi. Surely leaders enough have laid down their lives in t h i s struggle— ANSON, BARNARD, REID, a nd n o w NICHOLSON a n d NEILL ! IT has been often observed that the English nation is not a military nation— an assertion which we are prepared to endorse, not, however, in the sense which foreigners attach to it. Our military antecedents in the Peninsula, the Crimea, and India are sufficient to show that if an Englishman is not so fond as the people of some other countries are of uniforms, of steel scabbards, and of iron heels, he is not to be excelled when duties have to be performed— when desperate deeds are to bo accomplished— when superior numbers are to be bodily met and triumphantly overcome,— and when privations are to be encountered. Still is his nation, apparently at least, not a military one. This is a paradox which may be readily accounted for. If we look into the constitution of the British army, we shall find it so entirely composed of the highest and lowest classes, that that vast portion of the community, " the middling class," with very few exceptions, is in no way represented. How comes this ? It simply arises from this fact, that in this country the profession of arms at once elevates and debases ; it elevates the officer into a position which confers honour upon the wealthiest aristocrat, and so debases the private that no merit, no good conduct, no act of signal valour, will ever allow him to be recognized in so- called " society," so long as these qualities, excellent as they may be, are identified with the coarse cloth of a soldier's tunic. So honourable is tho position of an officer, that commissions conferring it are eagerly sought after by the wealthiest, who are prepared to pay handsomely for its advantages. So humble is the position of the private, that our ranks are almost exclusively recruited from the operative and the peasant. Here, then, is the reason why " the middlin class "— the son of the poor curate, the needy lawyer, the country practitioner, the half- pay officer, the government official, the merchant's clerk, the small landed proprietor, and, though last not least, " the poor gentleman" living on bis private means— the class composed of those athletic and active young fellows who are unmatched on the cricket- ground, in the boatrace, or on the moors, and unsurpassed for their vigour and endurance of fatigue— the class composed of the very pith and marrow of England's youth ;— here, we repeat, is the reason why the representatives of this numerous and almost exhaustless body of the community are not to bo found in our army. Too poor and too friendless either to purchase a commission or to obtain it by interest, and possesing too much natural, honest and manly pride to sacrifice their social position, these young men, whose name is legion and whose spirit is essentially martial, are allowed to waste that strength in small dissipations, which, if allowed to have its own natural scope, would effectually relieve the country from any anxiety as to its means of defence. A system which works thus faultily for the public interest must certainly be wrong in principle. This is a fact so thoroughly recognized, that it has been attempted, and the trial is now being made, to remedy the evil we have here pointed out, so far as it bears upon the middling classes, by throwing commissions in the army open to public competition, by an examination test, the movement in this direction going so far as to contemplate the abolishment of the purchase- system altogether. This is, however, not meeting tho reform we desire upon anything like a broad principle, while, to say the least of it, the half- and- half measures to which we have referred are open to a good many objections, which, if not thoroughly sound, are at all events plausible enough to appear so. For instance, as opposed to the examination test, it is urged that some men are so constituted that, though they cannot become students and men of science, they may possess some ' of the highest qualities of warriors ; and that such services are not to be rejected from mere pedantic considerations. With respect to the purchase- system, it is acknowledged that purchasing greatly accelerates promotion, and is thus highly advantageous to the poor officer as well as to the rich one. Now, the reform we are about to propose, had it no further merits, would at all events meet the objections to the examination test, and allow at the same time the purchasesystem still to prevail. The reform, then, we would suggest is to raise a corps recruited entirely from the middling classes. What would be the practical results of this system ? The young gentleman possessing qualities to make a good and perhaps distinguished soldier, though lacking in the information required by an examination cram, would have an opportunity of proving his worth by enlisting in the ranks of a corps manned by English gentlemen. The country would secure for her service a corps intellectually and physically qualified to produce the highest order of military attainments. The " middling classes,'' to whom an occasional commission bestowed upon their legion of cadets is even less, to use a homely phrase, than " a sop in the pan," would largely benefit by such employment being secured to their hardy yet idling youth;, while the service itself would be more respected, and would become more of a profession than an occupation, by reason of the intelligence thus thrown into its ranks. To effect this change, however, it would be necessary that the corps we suggest should, from the first day of its formation, take a fair social position. It- would be necessary that the private in enlisting into its ranks should gain rather than lose in caste by so doing. To this end we would suggest—. That the corps in q u e s t i o n s h o u l d be e n t i t l e d " T h e STAFF CORPS," and, that as such, it should be a sort of nursery for the education of all candidates for staff appointments, which should be open for competition to the entire corps ; thus securing to the latest recruit that consideration which is always paid to those who are in a position to rise to tho highest raiiks in their profession. SHEFFIELD and the Metropolis have recently given opportunities to our illustrious COMMANDER- IN- CHIEF to express the large and enlightened principles which guide him in the discharge of the onerous duties of his exalted office. Touching upon the subject of INDIA, and tho amount of punishment that should be measured out to the mutinous rebels, his Grace gave utterance to the following popular sentiments:— " I trust that no undue leniency will be adopted. That may appear a very harsh and unfeeling remark. It is nothing of the kind. What does it mean? We have an army of 70,000 men who have mutinied nobody knows why. Are these 70,000 men to he allowed to go broadcast over the country, massacring men, women, and children, without receiving the punishment due lo such crimes ? No, gentlemen; therefore let us have justice. Not undue, indiscriminate vengeance, hut justice, and stem justice. We have a right to expect that those men shall be brought before proper tribunals and duly punished for the atrocious deeds they have committed. Less ought not to be done. X am sure the country will support all who have the manliness and courage to inflict that punishment." Nov. 15, 185?.] TlIE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. 127 Alluding to the possibility of the late disasters in India having originated from the committal of cortain grave errors, the Duke extenuates them on grounds which are very fairly put:— " I have no doubt that on many occasions faults, grave errors, may have been committed; hut I ask you, gentlemen, if, in the history of nations extending over a period of 100 years, it is not a natural consequence that errors should have been committed? and the only thing is that when they are discovered they should be rectified, that we should take care not to fall into those errors again. That is the lesson ivhieh we should derive from these sad misfortunes which have now befallen us. It would be folly to suppose that we may not have committed some mistakes, and those mistakes ought to be corrected; and it is just as great a fault to say that because we have committed such mistakes it has served us right, and that we ought to have known better. We might have done better; but it is very easy to find fault after the disaster has happened." The following remarks may bo read with profit by all political " Cheap- Johns":— " I have, on all occasions in my power, advised my colleagues by saying, ' Whatever you do, have the country prepared for any emergency.' It was not for me to say what should be done in India; but I do say that this great empire must always he to a certain extent prepared for such disasters as that which has now come upon it. What has been our principle of action? We have cut down our establishments exactly to the point where we could go on working. We have kept nothing for an emergency. Ask yourselves— is it right that a great country like this shouldbein that position? I am not for extravagance, hut I will put a case. Suppose you require 50,000 troops for duty, surely sensible men would have at least 55,000, in order that 5,000 should be ready for any emergency that might arise, and for which the 50,000 would not he available, being employed on their own special duty. You cannot have efficiency if you have not the means at a moment's notice to vindicate the honour and position of the country. Now, gentlemen, we liave had two important lessons, one after the other. We have had the Crimean war, which found us unprepared, aud we have had the late disaster in India. I trust it will be admitted it is wonderful what has been done to meet that; but still it has been art immense exertion, and at this moment we are not without our difficulties. Well, gentlemen, two successive warnings should he a lesson for all time. All I will now further say is that a great and intelligent country should not forget what it has seen happen so recently." The army comes in for an ovation which it justly merits :— " I do not believe any one in this country will say that the army have not performed their duty nobly in our Indian possessions. The acts of valour and self- devotion we hear of . in India may well make this country feel proud of her sons who are there defending her cause. No human being could have anticipated tho events which have taken place in that quarter of the world; hut when I look at the number of European troops in India it is a marvel to me— it must be a marvel to everybody— how so small a proportion of European soldiers could have held their own as they have done, and could have carried on the extensive warlike operations* in which they have been enof last month we submitted as one point for consideration the infusion of a certain amount of European blood into every native regiment, to serve at once as an example and a check. Another reform which we beg to submit is the abolishment of all native artillery corps, and the transfer of that important arm of the service; as also all the duties connected with arsenals, magazines, cannon foundries, small arms, and gun- powder manufactories, exclusively to Europeans and Eurasians. Bitterly have we bought the experience which dictates this vital reform. We therefore trust the lesson will not be lost to us, and that, while discussions, fierce and warm, may be carried on as to the semi- civilized and barbarous nations and tribes whence a soldiery might be raised to fill the vacuum created by the mutiny, and the practicability of increasing the proportion of the European and civilized element in the army of India, there will he no difference of opinion on this point, but that it be carried immediately WE are about to record an instance of heroism in which human fortitude, calm and intrepid bearing, the solemn duty of obedience, and firmness and resignation under very perilous circumstances, are all vividly portrayed in the brightest colours. A party of the 59th and 90th regiments, it will be remembered, were sent out to China in the Transit. The vessel was wrecked off Banca, 220 miles from Singapore, early in July last. The following is a description given by an officer of the conduct of the detachment when the vessel struck :— " Nothing could have been more truly heroic than the conduct of the men; it was splendid, and worthy of antiquity, or shall I say of the British soldier ? When first the crash came, all the men on the troop- deck made a rush to the gangway; but Major Barnston ( 90tb) ordered every man back to his mess. This command they instantly obeyed, though the ship was tremblin like a frightened child, and they could hear and see the water gradually rising to their feet. Had this order not been given and obeyed, no biscuit or pork could have heen saved; and when at last the men were ordered on the quarter- deck to embark, there was no rushing or confusion. The first party moved off', and the remainder stood at ease with the order and precision of a Sunday parade, though, they could see and feel the ship gradually sinking. Some who could secure nothing else succeeded in securing their bibles ; and this morning, in the presence of the wreck, we returned thanks to that Almighty Saviour to whom we all feel indebted for our safety." ONE of the most remarkable features in what we may already describe as the late mutiny in India, has been the wonderful precision and admirable manner in which the rebels appear on every occasion to have fought their guns. Their artillery practice has been perfect. Here, truly, is a subject for very serious reflection, and one which must form an essential element in all future discussions on the re- organization and government of the Native Army. That it will be necessary for us, whatever other reforms we may introduce, to retain the services of the Sepoy, is a point we need scarcely argue. The real problem to be solved is not whether we shall adopt such a course, but how we shall secure his services with the greatest advantage and the least possible risk. In our impression ONE of the designs of this Journal being to preserve on record all papers of importance to the Service, especially Despatches, which, to be of value, must be given without abridgment, we have, at the risk of presenting our readers with that with which they are already familiar, given, in our impression of this and last month, the Indian Despatches in extenso. Nor, indeed, are we called upon in the least to offer any apology for so doing; for, apart from the utility it is to the profession to have easy and ready reference to such documents as these, the papers in question — particularly those of General HAVELOCK— are so admirably written, and so full of matter of lasting moment, that we should be guilty of a great want of judgment if we were to omit them. The Colchester camp will contribute strong draughts to the regiments in India when the troops which are being instructed in rifle practice on the Clacton marshes have acquired the necessary proficiency. The force in camp is divided into two battalions, and comprises ninety- four officers and 2,008 rank and file. ON THE ARMIES OF ANCIENT GREECE.* BY THE EF. V. GEORGE Ror. Er. T GLEIG, M. A., CHAPLAIN GENERAL TO THE FORCES. ( Continued from page 101.) AMONG all the Greek states, the most warlike throughout, and the first to systematize her military resources, was Sparta. We find her, about five centuries before Christ, mistress of the whole of Laconia, with a territory which was covered on three sides by the sea, and a capital protected on the north by an almost impassable frontier. She owed her military, not less than her civil, constitution to Lycurgus, and it was admirably adapted to the political circumstances of the age. As I have already said, every man from eighteen to sixty was liable to military service. The youth of the various districts and villages were enrolled into enomoties, or companies, each consisting of twenty- five, or thirty- two, or thirty- six men. These drilled and practised their military exercises together, under the enomotarch, who was promoted to command because of his strength, activity, and skill, and who took his post on the left in the front rank when the company formed line, and moved with the leading file on the march. The line was never less than three, nor more than six deep ; and it changed front by wheeling and counter- marching, very much as a company or sub- division does among ourselves. It was the nucleus of the whole military system of Sparta— for all the additions made to it were but multiplications of itself. For example, the pentehostos, the lochus, and the mora, were,—- the first, two enomoties, the second, two or four pentehosti; and the third, four or more lochi; that is to say, four hundred, six hundred, sometimes nine hundred men. So also, while each enomoty had its enomotarch, or subaltern, each pentekostos had, over and above these subalterns, its pentekoster, or captain ; each lochus its locliage, or major ; and each mora, or battalion, its polymarch. From the polymarch orders were passed on to the enomotarch,— just as among ourselves captains take up the word from officers commanding battalions, and execute battalion movements by rightly handling their companies. You need not be told that, in civil life, the frame of the young Spartan was systematically hardened by exercise. The drill of the soldier, likewise, consisted almost more in the practice of gymnastics than in anything else. His lance or spear exercise was very simple. He extended aud closed his files according as the necessity of enlarging or contracting the front of the line presented itself ; and he was trained to march in cadence to the sound of a flute, which in war as well as in peacc modulated his tread. The other states of Greece did not attain to anything like the same regularity till much later ; and, as they proved to be little more than mere copyists from tho Spartans, I should but repeat what I have said already were I to speak of them in detail. A Spartan army was always commanded in the field by the king, or, in the event of his nonage or incapacity, by a lieutenant chosen to act for him. In Athens, where troops were raised by tribes, each tribe furnished its own general, and all the generals were possessed of the same degree of authority. Now, as there were ten tribes, and, therefore, ten generals, this was prone to lead to vacillation and difficulty— for only in councils of war could operations be decided upon. It not unfrequently happened that votes were equal, till at last a polymarch, or President of the Board of Gene ral Officers, was chosen, who, in cases of this sort, gave the casting- vote, and assumed absolute authority over the rest. Such was the conduct of Miltiades in that hour of peril when the hosts of Darius swarmed upon the Greek shore, and the battle of Marathon, with tho rapid march back to Athens at its close, saved Europe from the barbarism with which it was threatened. Till Greece came into hostile collision with Persia, the wars of her various states were upon the smallest possible scale. Argos, for example, quarrelled with Corinth, or Sparta fell out with her next neighbour, and the army of the one invaded the territories of the other, burning vil- * A Lccture delivered at the United Service Institution. 128 THE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. [ Nov. 15, 1857. lages, laying waste fields, and fighting battles, when the forces from either side met. This was their summer's occupation, at which season, under a genial climate, there was no great hardship in sleeping out; and it does not appear that their longest marches ever carried the troops more than forty or sixty miles from home. In winter the armies broke up, the men returning to their villages and cities. The preparations for a campaign of this sort were of the simplest kind; no commissariat was organized, because none was necessary, but each soldier, carrying with him a few days' provisions, was ready for whatever might befal. A little salted meat, cheese, olives, onions, and dried fruit constituted the food of the soldier during the campaign. These he stowed in a casket of wicker- work, in other words, in a basket which he slung at his back. The basket had a peculiar- shaped mouth, and was called the gulion— whence men with very long necks got the nickname of gulionchenes. Time passed— and, by a process which is visible in all parts of the world where small states adjoin, Sparta and Athens gradually overshadowed their neighbours, and became rivals in the arts both of peace aud war. Sparta continued to the last a strictly military nation. Athens became more a naval than a military power; yet she by no means neglected her army. On the contrary, an Athenian officer proves to be the first great military reformer, prior to the appearance of the Macedonians on the stage. About the year B. C. 390, Iphicrates addressed himself to remedy the defects which up to this time had been apparent in the equipment and evolutions of light troops. Heretofore these people, indifferently drilled, and armed only with knives, short darts, and bows, served rather to distract and annoy than seriously to check or restrain the well- disciplined battalions to which they were opposed. Eor they were collected in a hurry, and let loose upon the enemy with such weapons and appointments as happened to be available for their peaceful occupation as shepherds. Iphicrates took them in hand, lenathened both their javelins and swords, of which he stored up supplies for them in the city, and protected their legs from scratches and bruises by casing them in leathern leggings. It is curious to observe how, in small things as well as in great, the customs of society go round in a circle. We had, some years ago— we still, I believe, have in use among us— boots named after two illustrious commanders, Wellington and Blucher. In Athens, for many days after tho time of Iphicrates, leathern leggings were known as Iphicratides. It is not necessary that I should speak of the causes which led to the alternate wars and alliances which connected Greece with the Persian empire, and ended at last in the overthrow of the latter. The Greeks, straitened at home for room, and much addicted to commerce as well as piracy, settled colonies, as you are aware, at a very early date, along the shores of Asia Minor, which, supported by tho mothercountry, maintained through many ages an uneasy independence upon the larger states and provinces which surrounded them. This became a hard task to achieve, after Persia, under the successors of the great Cyrus, had absorbed the vast empires of Babylon and Egypt; and that of Sardis would not have been accomplished at all, had not Athens and Sparta, but especially the former, entered freely into the struggle. Indeed, it was as much by policy as by war that the colonies held their own at all, for they not unfrequently kept the conqueror at a distance by paying tribute, and supplying him, as allies, with troops, which he found of extreme value to him in his operations elsewhere. It was this intercourse with Persia which led to the raising in Greece of corps of cavalry, which seem at first to have been universally equipped with helmets and cuirasses, and to have carried, as offensive weapons, darts and crooked swords. They were divided, like the infantry, into troops and squadrons, and had generals of the special arm placed over them, who, however, took their general orders, as among ourselves, from the strategos, or commander- in- chief. But we will, if you please, pass lightly over what may be called the transition state of the Greek armies. If you desire to satisfy yourselves as to what they had become, and what they were able to effect, and did effect, ere yet, under Philip of Macedon and his son Alexander, they had attained the perfection of their organization, read the history of the Peloponnesian war, as Thucydides has recorded it, and the Anabasis, or Retreat of the Ten Thousand, by Xenophon. Read these narratives, too, not for the mere sake of storing your minds with the knowledge of things past, but that you may learn lessons which, should it fall to the lot of any of you at any time to command armies, may prove of the greatest possible use to you in the hour of need. For I do not hesitate, even in this presence, to give it as my opinion, that nowhere in military history are more instructive lessons to be learned in the art of war, than in the simple and intelligible story of the movements of the force which, after the fall of Clearchus, came under the guidance of Xenophon, and marched and fought its way from the Zab to Trapesus or Trebizond. The Peloponnesian war, in its results, broke the strength of Greece. It produced, indeed, its heroes and its statesmen— Tolmides, Simon, Archidamus, and, above all, Pericles, the very model of a wise commander, whose speeches, as Thucydides has preserved them, cannot be too mucli studied, either by the soldier or the politician. But it ruined Athens, and left Sparta dizzy ; while, to the north of both, a people was growing into power, of whom as yet little note had been taken. I refer to the Macedonians— a mixture of Greeks and barbarians— whose history is too much mixed up with that of the surrounding tribes to admit of analysis here, and which the most painstaking writers find it no easy matter to give, except with a perplexity of order which sorely tries the patience of their readers. For, the moment we touch them, we find ourselves compelled to notice Thracians, Illyrians, Thessalians, and many more, to speak of whom, without a carefully executed map before us, would involve us in a perfect labyrinth of words. It will be sufficient, therefore, for our general purpose, to state, that Macedonia proper seems to have been early occupied by a colony of Argives ; that, by virtue of their descent from the leaders of that colony, Philip, and Alexander, his illustrious son, claimed to be regarded as Greeks ; and that, for many generations before the birth of the former, we find Macedon mixed up with Greek affairs, sometimes as an ally, sometimes as an enemy, and still more frequently as a bone of contention.

No more directappointments will be made to Provisional Commissions in the Royal Artillery.)— I. An Examination for the admission of Cadets to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich will be held in London, in the month of January, 1858.— II. Provided a sufficient number are found competent, thirty admissions will be made to that Institution; candidates must be between the ages of 17 and 20 years. The successful candidates will remain under instruction at the Academy for about two years, or until they are sufficiently advanced in scientific knowledge to pass a satisfactory examination, and they will then receive Commissions in the Royal Artillery, or Royal Engineers. Tkey will be required to pay a sum of .£ 22 10s. on admission, to cover the expense of uniform, books, < fec., and a contribution of i£ 62 10s., payable in advance, for each half year of the time during which they remain at the Academy. The annual contributions, however, for sons and orphans of naval and military officers, will be regulated at the following rates, as heretofore:— For sons of admirals and of generals having regiments, £ 80; for sons of generals without regiments, £ 70; for sons of captains and commanders of the navy, and of colonels and regimental field- officers of the army, £ 60; for sons of all officers of the navy and army under Nov. 15, 185?.] TlIE WELLINGTON GAZETTE. 129 the above ranks, £ 10; for sons of officers of tlie army and navy who have died in the service, and whose families are proved to be left in pecuniary distress, JE20. The sons of general officers paid only on their commissions as fieldofficers will pay the same contribution as the sons of field- officers. The sons of officers on full and half- pay will pay alike; but the sons of officers who have voluntarilyretiredonhalf- pay, or received the difference, will only be admitted on the terms proscribed for the sons of private gentlemen, viz. £ 125 per annum. The sons of officers of the Civil Departments of the army are admissible to the academy upon the same terms as those prescribed for the sons of naval and military officers.— III. The admissions will be determined by the result of a competitive examination, the subjects of which will be as follows : — 1. Mathematics: pure, 2,000 marks; mixed i. e. statics, dynamics, and hydrostatics, 1,500 marks— total, 3,500 marks. 2. English language literature, composition, history, and geography, 1,250 marks. 3. Classics: language, literature, geography, and history of Ancient Rome, 1,000 marks; ditto of Ancient Greece, 750 marks—- total, .1,750 marks. 4. Language, literature, geography, and history of France, 1,000 marks. 5. Ditto of Germany, 750 marks. ( The examination in French and German will be both written and viv& voce.) C. Experimental sciences, i. e. chemistry, heat, electricity, including magnetism, 1,000 marks. 7. Na tural sciences, mineralogy, and geology, 750 marks. 8. Drawing, i. e. elementary geometrical drawing, including the use of drawing instruments, and either machinery, architectural engineering, or landscape drawing, 1,000 marks. — IV. No candidate will be allowed to be examined in more than five subjects, of which one must be mathematics ; and no one who does not obtain at least 1,000 marks in mathematics, of which at least 700 must be in pure mathematics, will be eligible for an appointment.* From the other subjects of examination each candidate may select any, not exceeding four in number, in which he desires to be examined; but no one will t e allowed to count the marks gained in any such subject, unless those marks shall at least amount to one- sixth of the total number of marks allotted to that subject. Any candidate who shall not select French and geometrical drawing among the subjects of examination, will be required to satisfy the examiners that he has such knowledge at least of the elements of those two subjects as shall afford reasonable expectation that he will perfect himself in both during his residence at the academy.— V. No candidate will be admitted into the Royal Military Academy unless he obtain an aggregate of 3,000 marks at least.—- VI. The following papers will be required to be transmitted by each gentleman to the War Office, before the 1st January, with his application to be noted as a candidate, unless he shall notify that he has been a candidate at a previous examination, in which case the statement of subjects only need accompany the application:— 1st.

F O R F E I T E D GOOD- CONDUCT PAY when restored to be restored at the rate when forfeited.— W. O., 22nd Oct., 1857. Circular No. 162. * N. B.— The examination in arithmetic, algebra, piano geometry, logarithms, and plane trigonometry, will be closo and searching. A parliamentary paper gives the detailed military and naval expenditure for the year ending in March, 1850. The total amount expended in the naval, commissariat, militia, and army departments was, in round numbers, £ 40,800,000. In several items there is an excess of expenditure over the votes of tho House of Commons. MILITARY MEMORANDA. ARMY PAYMASTERS.— It has been decided by the Secretary of State for War that in future all army paymasters shall be appointed from officers actually serving, or on the half- pay list. OFFICERS' AND SOLDIERS' EFFECTS..— With a view to obviate the serious inconvenience and delay in the distribution of the balances of elfects of officers and soldiers who become non- effective in India, the Secretary of State for War has deemed it expedient to substitute for the present a monthly return of casualties. This casualty return is to be despatched without fail within one week after the termination of each month, but if in any instance it should be found impracticable to include therein the amount of the effects in addition to the name of the officer or soldier, such amount should be included in the return for the succeeding month, but every endeavour should be made in the first instance to make the return as complete as possible. PRESENTATION OF COLOURS.— The 08th Light Infantry, upwards of 1,000 strong, under the command of Colonel Henry Smyth, C. B., being on the eve of embarking for India in the steam- ship Australasian, from Portsmouth, were on the 5th of November presented with new colours, on Southsea- common, by his royal highness the commander- in- chief. The old colours were wreathed with laurel in memory of the great fight three years ago. It will be recollected that Sir George Cathcart met death in leading on a party of the 68th. Information has been received at the headquarters of the Medical Staff Corps, Chatham, that the authorities at the War- office have it in contemplation to send a large body of stewards, wardmasters, and orderlies to Alexandria, for the purpose of being employed in the transit of the troops who are proceeding overland to India, and also of rendering assistance to the sick and wounded soldiers who are returning to England. Orders have been received at the Invalid Establishment, St. Mary's, Chatham, directing arrangements to be made for the reception of 200 sick and wounded troops, who are now on their passage home from India, having been wounded in their conflicts with the mutineers, and of 70 men who are shortly expected to arrive invalided home from China. The New Military Hospital at Sheerness, built by Messrs. Kirk and Parry, has been opened. INSTRUCTORS OF MUSKETRY.— His Royal Highness the General Commanding- in- Chief has directed it to be notified that, as a general rule, future appointments to the office of Instructor of Musketry, at the head- quarters of regiments, will be made from the subalterns; and that, whenever the officer instructor, either of a regiment or Depot Battalion, may be absent for upwards of fourteen days, the allowance for tha whole period of such absence is to be issued to the officer who may have been appointed the assistant instructor. The monster cannon, from the design of Lord Palmerston, recently conveyed to Woolwich- marsh for experiments, was subjected on Monday to a series of preliminary proofs by the firing of seven corresponding 36- inch shells, the minimum charge of powder, 10 lb., being increased at the progressive rate of 10 lb. until the fifth shot, when the charge was doubled, and the seventh and last was increased to 150 lb. The result was as follows : — First charge, 10 lb., over a range of 230 yards, the shell being embedded about five feet in the solid earth; second, 20lb., 500yards; third, 30 lb., about 780 yards; fourth, 40 lb., 1,500 yards ; fifth, 50 lb., about an equal distance with the last. The. sixth eharge, containing 100 lb. of powder, obtained a flight of about 2,250 yards, and the last, amounting to 150 lb., passed some distance beyond the butt, and was buried to an immense depth in the earth. The experiments were considered extremely satisfactory, and are to be continued on some future day with heavier charges of powder. R E C R U I T I N G DURING OCTOBER.— We are gratified to find that recruiting for the army is proceeding in a satisfactory manner. No less than 8,040 men have been attested during the month of October and joined their respective corps. This is exclusive of those enlisted for the household brigades of cavalry and infantry. Colonel Dunne, the late member for Portarlington, is said to have made an offer to the Horse Guards to raise in a short time, so as to be ready for immediate active service, a regiment of Irish dragoons, to bear the revived title of the 5th dragoons. That regiment was disembodied shortly after the Irish rebellion of 1798, on a charge of sedition, and it has never again been called together. It was raised in 1688, and served under Marlborough as well as in subsequent wars. Many of the men whom Colonel Dunne would enlist are about to proceed to America; and he thinks that an effort should be made to preserve their services for this country. The augmentation of the army is progressing most satisfactorily; and the militia is not behind in answering to the call of the country. The 1st Regiment of the Royal Surrey Militia assembled on Thursday for embodiment, and upwards of 700 men answered to their names, and volunteered for service in India, or any other part of her Majesty's dominions.
