Great Britain keeps up in India an army
of 250,000, ata cost of seventeen millions
a year, which, from the cireumstances of
the country, is supposed **to be perma-
nently ready for active service.” In the

wh.en a section of this force is required

in the past were lawyers, and judging
from the number now seeking the suff.
\rages of the electors, it is supposed that
a larger number will be in the new House
than will be agreeable to the feelings of
those who are *¢anxious for a thorough
change.”

It is not denied but that many of the
evils which are attributed solely to the
law and the lawyers may result from a
“want of the kuowledge of business in
the world in geneval,” yet it isas strong-
ly affirmed that a Switt ora Sydney Smith
could not imagine “anything more shame-
tul or absurd than those continually oc-
curring in the Courts of Law in Great
Britain, and that atter making every al-
lowanee which charity demands, it must
be confessed that there is an element of
chicanery and perverse small-mindedness
in many things connected with the law
which is disgraceful to the profession.”

Some of the volunteers of Great Britain
who took part in the Windsor Review
acted so discreditably that the Wi Office
found it necessary to issue a circular
which states that while it is optional with
them whether they join the force or not,
“yet when they are under arms in the
ranks they must no longer act
dently, but obey implicitly the
their officers, and attend to the usage of
the militar y service, without which no
military arrangement can be efliciently
conducted.” While the volunteers have
tius been reminded of their duty and re-
bulked for their folly, the Daily News has
brought to the notice of the British pub-
lic the fact that the Vicar of Barking re-
cently, when a body of volunteers “hap-
pencd to attend his Church, took ocea-
sion to notice them specially in his sor-
mon, and invite their aid against those
who, in the estimation of that reverend
gentleman, are endeavoring ty carry out
the contemplated alterations in the
Chureh. After reminding them of the
skill, tact, and ability of the enemy, he
concluded his sermon this:—s¢ Be Witelu

cannot ‘tinhale that great breath which

so necessary to command respect for the

The number of unemployed poor in
Great Britain is more than usually large.
In London they. have recently held a
series of meetings, under the impression
that their miseries will be remedied by
publicity, and agreed to a resolution to
the effect that the ** cultivation and recla-
mation of the waste lands of Great Britain
and Ireland afforded the best means of
support to the large mass of the uncm-
ployed.” We believe there is much
practical good sense in this resolution,
and may be permitted to add our belief
that if one half the sum annually bestow-
ed to purchase food and clothing for the
unemployed poor of England was appro-
priated in conveying them to this Pro-
vince and to Canada, and a portion of
the money given to those of them who
would engage in the cultivation and recla-
mation of their waste soil—thereby
strengthening their haads and encoura-
ging their hearts toovercome the toils
which at first is inseparably connec.ed
with this mode of life in a new and strange
land—the British Government would
by thus acting confer a benefit upon her
| poor which would cause a happiness, a
\joy, and a prosperity to overtake thou
sands of them, which will never be thei
lot while remaining in their own country.
