muster more than two army corps, composed of one-third white and two- thirds native troops. The great weak- ness as well as the extravagance cf our system appears to be in having our forces scattered over the globe in small garrisons, which are useless, and trom which the men have to be transported in time of need at vast expense. Our expenditure on the army increases by bounds, while there is no ponding increase in its strength. \elerring to the contributions to the army and navy, received outside the United Kingdom, Sir Charles Dilkie emphasized the fact that India _ con- tributes by far the most, while of the self-governing colonies, Canada alone may be said to bear her share. She is shown in the estimates as making a repayment of £21,000 a y€ar in arrangement made for Esquimalt. Now that Australia 1s to be a nation, too, she wil! likely be similarly credited With her expenditure at Thursday Islandand King George's sound.

‘Second to none’ beenon many of the fields where British standards have waved in victory orin defeat. Their record is so full of daring “nate that the merest summary of them wouid occupy morethan the space tikcu by this entire article. Their cruits were troopers who had fought under that ideal rider of the North, the ‘Bluidy Claverhouse’ uf the Cove- nanter, and the ‘Bonny Dundee’ ef the Cavalier, They fought in turn for James 11. and for William and Mary, and later under Masibuivu, + Blen- heim and Ramillies. At dettingen they broke the splendid French House- hold cavalry. capturing a standard and many prisoners without loosing a man. At Fontenoy and Vale _ they suffered heavily, continuing their record for effi- cient service at Bergen, Minden, War- bourg, Dunkirk, Tournay, and other more or less memorable conflicts.

Their charging cry at Waterloo, ‘Scotland forever |’ is enshrioen among the great expressions which Engl land cherishes in memory of the noble deeds that inspired them. It may be that Napoleon never exclaimed in un- willing admiration, ‘Look at those beautiful grey horses,’ or that Welling- ton, when hardest pressed, wished ‘that there was more of the Greys but Eng- ishmen like to believe that both expes- genuine.
