JOSEPH BEAUCHENMIN, CLEARING SALE TTR TTT TTT I mold it dewonsteutcd that the average value of land in tillage is protty scourately mess ured by the depth 10 which it has bese thaseughly worked.That is to say: Ifa farm of owe bus dred sores, whoreo! one half lias been tilled, and which has on that half an average depth of vig inches of thorougldy worked and pulveriecd mil, is worth $100 per nore s0 fur as it bas Lesn tillod and $50 per aorc for the residue\u2014ia all, 7,500 \u2014theo the value of that farm would be inorescd to 810,000 if those GÂy acres vf Lillage wero ae wurkod to a depth of twelve inches; $38,800 if the depth of seil pu the portion in tillage were ibcreusod to eightesn inches; aud $18,000 if it were still f'urthor increared to two fees.Acû I tel confident that so thrifty, ospuble farmer can increase his wealth so fust by buyiug more lund, by lending his money, or by investing it in mines or stocks of any kind, as by ivoressing the depth of bis aruble soil.There may be cxeeptions founded in location where laud is very abundant and cheap, labor dear aud products low-priced ; but the general rule remaios as [ have stated.Aud | believe the moans aro pow within reach whereby most American farmors can enhance the value of their aruble sil to the extent of at loust $100 per acre at a coat of not more than ball that sum.Underdrasimog and Sabgoiling are cach good in its place; but 1 have now in mind somathing different from these, though it may perbaps bo regarded as no improvewent on or perfection of the lutter.I refer to an improved system cf Trench-Plowing.Just before the ground froze up, 1 ran up one forenoon to [oon (Dr Grant's islet in the Hul- son,) to witness the pructical working of two or three Trenching-Plows of the Doctor's device on the gravelly, rocky subsoil of that islet.The ground hud already been cleared of considerable stones und well worked to a depth of a fuot, very nearly ; below which was tho subanil just men- tioncd-\u2014compuet, pebbly, and well filled with stones of ail sizes, row that of a hen's-egz up to that of # tea-kettle.The plowmen understood their business; but the team (two yoke of oxen) might well buve been stronger.The plows were of various patterns, being designed for workiog different deptiis up to fuily two fect ; but, though nowise pretty to look ut, and not well adapted ro standing alone, they were admirably calculated to minimize sid -druft aud waste of power by dragging on the hard ground beneath them.What they aimed to do, und did, was to combine ut moderate cost the benefits of plowing, subsoil.ing and trenching, by loosening, pulverising and thoroughly wixing the smifice nnd subsoil, so that the closest observation could not distinguish them from each other.Tum confident that this was never nearly so well done by the spade, nt n cost of six times that involved in the use of De Grant's implements aud process ; which, if the team were increased fo eight oxen or horses, cuuld uot cxeeed $30 per uere for th imust thorough pulverigtiou sud commingling to a depth of fully two feet.I shall rest content with setting forth the results which I saw produced, without sttewpt- ing to explain fully the process, sino: [ sm only recking to osll the uttontion of practionl men to the subject.Concede that, for the present, ouly gordens, orchards, vineyards, nurseries, &o , ore likely to be thoroughly worked to any such depth us two fect, how great must be the incrense of products thus secured | That the yield of Beets, Carrots, &e., would bo increused by more than 850 worth per acre, will hardly be doubted; while on orchard thus trenched would endure twice us long as one stranded on hard-pin that risea to wlilin six inches of the surfuce.The best practical farmer I know assured me, three | years ago, thut he grew twelve acres of good Cabbage où nn ordinarily subsotled fleld with less than half the fertilizers that he must have applied had he plowed but six or seven

therefore denies them.To such a degree has this been carried out, that men have been actually appointed who, if even-handed justice prevailed, instead of wearing the silk gown of a Q.C.snd appearing

William Mawlin- ody, Francis Whiteside, Samuel Scott, and Thos.Keating were indicted for unlawful assembly, snd with being members of a party procession bearing arms, party emblems, and banners, and playing party music, at Newtownards, on the 12th July last, -;- Whiteside und Sedtt plended guilty, and were allowed out on their own security, to appear whea called on.The Attorney-General, in stating the case, cx- plained the circumstances under which the Party Procossions Act was passed, and then suid\u2014This Act provided and made.à misdemeanour of a transaction of this kind, when people assembled together, when they march or parade in procession, aud when they have arms, or when they, not having arms, have emblems, or symbols, or fligs, or banners, calculated or tending to provoke animosity between different olassos of hier Majesty's subjects, or when they have music of à kind calculated to provoke animosity between differant classes of her Majesty's subjects.1laving so stated the law, we come to $- offenco which is the subject of the prosecy- tion in the case, The learned gentleman then detailed tho evidenee he would adduce as to the be onse dig 1! cost th Counsel

party tunes played ia the procossion, and evidonos nied that these colours, baoners, and party emblems were calculated\u2019 and tended to provoke animosity botween different classes.of her Majesty's subjects.It will bo scarcely neccssary, I think, to produce evidence upon the latter point to gentlemen of Four ksowledgo of this comaty and of the affuirs of the North of true bills agaipst three prisoners, and were thing plain in this cade, it Is this\u2014that if it be proved there was this procession ; if it be proved that there was an exhibition of banners and eslours ; if\u201d it be proved that thore wcre party tancs played upon these justruments, then it is plaia beyond ail question to your.intelligent and conscientious minds that that procession and that parade wus ealculated and tended to provoke ani- mority between diffurent classes of lier Mujesty\u2019s subjects.Thomas Hartley Montgomery, examined\u2014I am a Sub-Inspector of police, stationed at New.townards, and I was there on the 12th July last.I bad a force of thirty men under mp on that day.The usual number under my charge is ten.Ou that morning large bodies of men came in from different parts of the county und muster, ed in Conway-square.Some came from Comber.A number came from the direction of the railway station, The general muster took place between ten and cleven o'clock.There were at least ten thousand persons present.When they mustered ip the square they had furty-one flags.A great many of them had sashes and roscttes of an orange, blue, and erimson eolour.\u2014They had about eighty drams, on which they played.They marched round the square twice, and then went off, two deep, behind their flags, in the direction of Bungar.They proceeded round the square with the flgs Lu isted and the drums and fes playing.They stépped in the town about an hour and a half.Më Jobuston was there.I saw him in thé pguare; marching with the body.There was a flag following.11¢ had on two Orange scarfs and an Orange rosette.I beard the \u201c Pyotestant Boys\u201d and © Boyne Water\u201d played in the square.I was nearly iu the centre of the square at the time.I saw the pasty returning in the evening, It took them an hour to come into the town.I saw Mr Johosten returuing.I then saw one Orange scarf on Lim.I remained in Newtownards the entire duy.In my judgment, the procession tended to produce animosity between Protestants and Roman Catholies, Crass-examined\u2014I never saw so large a number of penple in Newtownards before.They flocked in on the southern side of Newtownards in large numbers.It was a general assembly of the fnhabitants cf that part of the county.I won't swear that the procession did create ani- wosity, nor wiil I swear it did not, I heard the object of\u2019 the procession was to hold a public mecting at Bangor afterwards.I knew there was to be a large assembly of people in oue of Lord Bangor's tields, but I did not know the object of the meeting at the time, I am quite certain Mr Johnston wore an Qrange sash on the occasion.I know others who were there.The conduct of the .processionists was orderly and peaceuble.10° Constable John Nott, sworn\u2014I am a police coustabie, and T remember being in Bangor on the 12.1 July last.T was in Newtownards that morning.I saw a natber of persons in a field beside Bangor on that diy.There were between 15,600 and 20,000 persons in that field.There was n platform in the field, and [saw Mr Julinston on it.The general number of them wore sashes and decorations, and there were colours and drums.Some of the sashes were blue and some Orange.There were al: o rosettes.About a thousand wore roseltes.I counted fifty flags.There were between sixty and seventy drums, Mr Johnston wore two sashes.One of them was of a dark elour.The other was Orange or ycllow.I thiak the dark sash hud un Orange border.There were forty or fifty files.While in\u2019 the field, I heard the \u201c Protestant Boys\u201d played.I should say that is a party tune.The processionists- stayed in the field two or three hours, They passed me, ou the way home, with fligs aod drums, and music playing.They were walking twa-and- two after the flags, At the crossroads, where I was standing, I heard the * Vretestant Bays\u201d and \u2018 Boyne Water\u201d played.The © Boyne Water\u201d is a party tune.William Mawhinney and Thomas Keating were in the procession, Keating had a sash.There was a crimson flug, with Orange or yellow borders on it, carried by William Mawhinney.Some of the party returned to Bangor.I never saw so many people there.I believe they were holding some sort of meeting.They were very orderly.L did not hear a memorial read.Ï have seen Masons\u2019 processions.They carry erimson snd blue and white.I saw no white colours displayed in Bangor.The town was perfeetly tranquil.Sub-Constuble Joseph Burke deposed to secing a platform and Mr Johnston addressing the multitude.Ife had on two sushes.I henrd the ** Protestant Boys\" and \u201c Boyne Water\u201d played.I weot in company with Constable Nott and Sub- Constable Boyce.to the cross-ronds, when the crowd began to come.The crowd passed us at the eross-roads.They then played party tunes.Mr Jolinston was there, and Keating and Maw- hianey carried a flag.\u2014 Keating had an Orange colour and a small mallet in his hand.\u2014Mr Johnston had two sashes.In my judgment all processions are calculated to provoke animosity.The one I sag thet day might wot excite animosity in Bangor, but it would do so gencrally.Bangor is almost an exclusively Protestant dis trict, Acting-Constable Thomas Mooney gave evi dence generally corroborative of that of the foregoing witnesses, Mr Fulkiner addressed the jury, and said he appeared for Johnston of Bullykilbeg, who was put upon his trial before the men of Down, and who, he declared, was no criminal.1c was glad the Attorney-General had been sent to that part of tho country, as when he returned to Parliament he would be able to refute the flippant statements of statesmen in England who aseerted that Ireland could ba no other than discontented while people continued to dispute about religion.He could tell them that if all other parts of Ireland were like Down, there would be no occasion for suspensions of the Habeas Corpus Act.The county had been wade the objeot of slander, and the statuto under which the protecutions wore brought was the result of panic, and should never bavo been: passed.\u201d Cousmel arguod that the pro- Frelend, Therefore, gentlemen, JF there is any- / cession as a

statute.Me Falkiner continued to address the jury st some leogth, with much ability, aftor which, Mr Kisboy addressed tho jury fbr his clients, contending that they had merely assembled to wemorislise Lord Derby, asking a repeal of the were perfectly legal and withia the law.Mr M\u2018Donnell replied briefly.His Lordship, in charging the jury, said\u2014 Three persons are indiutcd for the breseb of an Act of Parliament, called the Party Processions Act.Now, gentlemen, with the history of the passing of that Act, you or I havo nothing todo.It is an Act of Parliament for better or for worse \u2014an Act of Parliament, unfortunately, which has made itself known in different localities by the facet of persons having violated it, and haviog been prosccuted under it.Well, there arc three fersons before you, onc of whom appears to be a gentleman of position.The fucts of this case are reully mot much disputed.On the 12th of July a procession, consisting of a great number of persons, met in the town ol Newtownards\u2014I suppose by previous commurication, or by previous notice.We have it in the evidence of the sub iuspcetor of police stationed there, that those persons arrived from various parts by road and rail, and they met as if at a common raliyivg point, in the square of Newtownards, and that one of the accused\u2014Mr Wm.Johnstan\u2014was there and then present ; that they formed into a procession two deep, with flags, to the number of over forty, flying, and with drums beating and fifes\u2014to the number of seventy or eighty\u2014play ing; that the carly part of the procession, like al such processions, was formed in a certain array, and walked two decp ; that the cud of the procession inerensed, and, like all lurge processions, became a little confused ; that Mr Johnston was there walking, as he believed and stated ; that he had on two Orange sashes and Orange rosettes ; that he joined, and appeared to take an active part in this procession ; that they marched round a square ; aud that the fifes\u2014und, I suppose, the drums, =o far as they could arsist in it\u2014played up n tune called \u201c The Protestant Boys,\u201d and another culled ¢ The Boyne Water.\u201d Now, all that is deposed to by Mr Montgomery as having taken place in the town of Newtownards before the precession started.The procession went out to Bangor.They there held a meeting m a field-\u2014as to which there is some peculiar explanation, to the effect that it belonged to my Lerd Bungor, or somebody else.1 don\u2019t suppose there was any particular virtue or vice io the field Mr Falkiner-\u2014I merely wished to show it belonged to a peer of the realm.I think it was of importance to show that this particular meeting was held in a field belonging to Lord Bangor.ITis Lordship proceeded to say\u2014Gentlcmen of the Jury, I have to infor you that the meeting was in itself for a leg:l purpose-\u2014it was a proper mecting for these who concurred in it.The meeting was qua\u2014as à mecting for legal purposes, a peaceable, and orderly, and proper one.The three persons accused had a perfect right to hold a meeting, vot only of the number of 20,000, but of the number of 200,000; they had a rizhit to Lold a pacific and ordinary meeting to petition the l\u2019rime Minister of the Crown for his assistance towards repoaling the Act of Parlin: ment.It would appear From the replies received to the memorial, which documents have been read, that Lord Darby did not consider that ac.casion had arisen for repealing the Act.\u2014Que of the worst ways of repeal'ng an Act of Parla.ment is, to use a popular expression, the way of fiying in the fice of it.Onc of the worst ways to get an Act repealed is for a man to take tlie luw into his own hands, and say to the Exr- cutive\u2014** I will repeal it myself.\u201d His lordship concluded by stating in reality the questions the jury had to decide were, did they join in procession by unlawful assembly, and did they wear certain banners, emblems, und symbols, the dis play of which was euleulated to create animosity among her Majesty's subjects, The jury returned a verdict of guilty against all the defendants, [lis Lordship passed sentence on the prisoners ag follows : \u2014William Johnston, William Maw.hivney, and Thomas Kenting, you have been severally convicted of an offence against an Act of Parliament, called the Party Processions Act.The facts of the ease were really so cogent, so conclusive, and so clear, that I might almost say there way virtually nothiog for the jury to decide.\u2014They, thercfore, were necessarily coerced to bring in a verdict of guilty against you and each of you.The processicn\u2014the subject-matter of the indictment against you\u2014formed in the town of Newtownards under circumstances which in- under the very ciicumstauces which it forbade\u2014 namely, a violation of it by the use of party in.stznia and by the having of music playing party tunes.This procession was formed upon the 12th of July under the ostensible purpose of petitioning for repeal of the very Act of Parlin- ment which those who planned that procession and formed it were ostentatiously violating.You observed yesterday that several persons upon being arraigned pleaded guilty to the offence of a violation of this Act of Parliament, Haviog done s0, they exhibited by that fact, as well as Ly the counsel who defended them, their regret for having violated it.The same course might have been open to yon.You preferred not to adopt it.It was quite your right to follow that if it concurred with your own view and conscience.At the samc time, you have taken away from the Crown.who in these cases did not call ypon the court for thy infliction of any sentence of punishment, the grounds upon which they made that application to the Court, and you lave taken away from me tho grounds upon which I could comply with it, because there was an expression of regret for the offence which had been glearly committed.\u2014I aw, therefore, obliged in this cise to adopt a different course ; and accordingly the sentence of the Court upon you, William Johnston, is that you be imprisoned for a period of onc cilendar month, and, at tho cx- piration of that perind, you enter into security \u2014 yourself in £500, and two sureties in £250 enclh\u2014to be of good behaviour for a period of two years, and, in default of doing so, that you be imprisoned for a further period of one caleu- dar month.The sentence of the Court upon you, William Mawhioney aod Thomas Keating, is that you be imprisoned for a period of one calendar month, and, at the cxpiration thereof, you cnter into sccurity\u2014yourselves in £60, and two sureties in £25 cacli\u2014to be of gnod behaviour for à period of two years, and, in default, you are to be further imprisoned for à period of one calefidar month.The prisoners wero then removed.Party Processions Act, and that their proseedings.p

Mre.Johuston and family, who have deprived of the endesring association of one whom we have always rgarded as the werkiog man's friend\u201d \u2014Mr Johustoo, of Ballykilbeg.The hall was crowded in crery part, there being about 4,000 persons prescut.The apoechos were moderate in their tone, and the conduct of those resent orderiy.The action ot the Government in imprisoning Lim for walking on the 12th, was warmly devounoed, and the following Memorial to Mr Disracli, the Premier, passed unanimously : \u2014 -HousrLy SusweTa\u2014That great injustice has been done to Ulster Protestants through the partial operation of the Act aguinst party processions, and we respectfully ask on behalf of those wbom Lord Derby has characterised as a * loyal, industrious, brave, energetic, and religious population,\u2019 that they be reliuved from this injustice.: We nced not reeall to your recollection the fact that processions on a gigantio scale have more than once taken place in Dublin ; one of them was to celebrate the funeral obsequies of a traiter; the other in honour of the memory of O'Connell; and more recently the processious in Dublin, Cork, und elsewhere to honour the memory of the murderers of one of her Majemy'e peace officers.In these processicos wore freely borne bannors and badges of grecu, and music suitable to the oljeots commemorated was played through the streets of the metropolis.Then the Law Officers of the Crown decided that these demonstrations were not illegai, and no notice of them was therefore taken.We do not quarrel with the decision.But we clnim that demonstrations such us Ulster delights in aro just as legul.\u2014And we conceive we have fuir cause of complaint that, while such things could be dune in Dublin by those difering from us in religion and politics, another interpretation of the law was promulgated for Ulster, nnd loyal and peaceable 1'rotestants were sent to j il for commemorating in public those great events which secured to ull classes of her Majraty's sub jects civil ard religious liberty, Sir Hugh (now Lord) Cairns declured in the House ef Commons that hic could \u2018hardly help being surprised at ary country that boasts of its freedom being content to bo told that it is to be deprived of tho liberty of using banners, fags, music, &e., of any kind\u2019 and, while deprecatinæ the wisdom of processions, said\u2014* A higher end is, I thiok, attsined by accustoming the people of Ireland to tolerate, on the one side und the other, matters which we in Enzland look upon as indifferent.\u2019 And Mr (now Clict Justice) Whiteside said\u2014¢ I will not say a sylluble in favour of that law.It is very dcubtful whether, in a free country, there ought to be such a law.\u2019 In advancing the opinion of these most cmin-

the Catholic Churches forbade any such demonstration taking place, and denounced nll taking part in it.The proces-ion intended going to St.Michael's cathedral, but it was refused.The procession was in direct defiince of the authority of the Cutholie Church.After the procession, the crowd was addressed by Patrick Boyle, Presi dent of the Society, in a style which savored strongly of Feniuniem, the proceedings, which pasted off quictly, concluding Ly the erodd giving three cheers for the three Fenians who were hupg at Muuchester, Allen, Jarkin, and Gould.Tlie Montreal News says: Tho precautions adopted by the military authoritics on the night of the 17th instant, and subsequcutly, were consequent on tho receipt, by the Commander of the Forces, of a telegrain from the Governor-General, notifying that information of a reliable character had been furnished, pointing to the destruction of the \u2018Arfillery Barracks, at Qucbee gate, by Greek fire.There is rcason tu believe, from the

doubtful.It was possible for Togran.Hiinging Lis position every nicht, to lead us upon A wild chase for a year.He could plunder baras gad.riveroraft for nourishment, and fish and game were plentiful.Desperate, in view of the penalty of his offence, we knew that roving amon these green islands was consonant with his adventurous nulure.Fresh from five years\u2019 en- torbment in the juil, und hopeful of guilty gain.-he-would leave no artifice untried to retain his liberty ; and Ballagun feared that he would surrender himself to the Canadian authorities, when PB Fenice of Mr Pepin Petit might be mauifest.One day, at Alexandria Bay, we received a dis- teh from a station far down the river ; Jules ~Jngram had been seen near the head of the kirst Rapid ; he hud fuiled us, and with a long start, oye muking his way vigorously towards the Guli \u201cLawrence.Every stroke of the oars was aittaer hope to him ; in ten hours, he would pass the American boundary-line, and then our diff.culties would be wultiplied tenfold.Ballugan seted with Lis usual decinion ; wo took the first Senpleuf Mesmer, sad pushed on with uM the energy of current and stesm.It was midnight whesiowe

an hour.\u2019 \u201cI took his proffered glass, and recognised distinctly an approaching butcau, and a wild figure in a gray cunt soulling in the stern.It was Jules Ingram.lle was waking enorgetieally for the Canada sbore, for he seemed to have sn intuition of his proximity to the rapids; and ever snd anon, #8 Lie advanced, his face wus turned to regard the steamer distrustfully.* Crouch here by the gunwale,\u2019 suid Bullagan ; \u2018when I give the word, run out the lines of the bateau.I shall have the oars; take you my rifle in the bow.Be cool snd steady, sud obey wy orders.\u2019 No soul was astir upon the vessel : we watched the guilty man with our hearts in our eyes.It required mo effort of his to drive the bateau towards us, fur the velocity of the current im pelled it at racing-pace.At euch instant, the dawn grew brizhter; at euch instant, the victim drew nearer.We marked him with the naked eve at length\u2014a face like that of u wild beast, hulf furtive, half ferocious, and gount with hunger and suzicty ; his grizzled hairs.uncovered, shaded his savage beard, and his iuflamed cyes glared oavernously from their dark, deep rockets; his clotlies were rent and stained ; his feet were scarred and bare ; yet with all this wretcheduess, the attitude of the man was that of pride und de- fiince; it wis the conrciousness of deserved wisery, for which he could not apologise, and which he had determined to endure, The wharf te which we were moored kept kim out of view of the rapids till he had drifted directly beneath us, and then the danger broke suddenly upon him.He scemed stricken dumb, and the car quivered in Lis fingers.At the same moment, Baling called out to me to loosen my line.The bout dropped like a bolt, we clum- bered down as hastily.The detective seized the seull, while I crouched with the rifle at the bow, and pushing away in a trice, we ha alot col: iided with Ingram's vessel, betore he was weil aware of our p'csence.It

at the bow.I knew that this wus ull.Once more À marked the white waste of waves, the vanishing islands, the flitting bunks and trees and dwellings ; and us # solt vision of home blinded my wet eyes, I culled upon the name of One wizhty to save, and clutched the cold planks, sud kuew no more, A thunderbolt apparently awakened me, and a terrible woight was pressing upon my chest.I was lying in the

fairly ut the junction of shaft and puddle, und his arms were palsied by the shock.In a twinkling he leaped for the sccond oar, but ere he could employ it, the biteaux collided, and he met Billugun at the gunwale, knife in hand.The detective, clubbing the rifie, struck him a powerful blow, which stretched him prostrate like a dead wan, The hunt was over; the felon was captive at lust, aud us we

fish fluttering at the surface ; a distant hawk, swooping like a speck in the sky; the rocking of tie buat, und the crack of a splay in the oar; exch carved duvice upon the stock of the rifle; the

LIFE OF THE BRITISH SOLDI THERE ere few conditions of life about which the general pablie know as little as they do about those of the seldicr.The barrack-room is to them oso unknown lund, snd s soldior's private life a mystory ; 80 much so, thut we frequently find the most absurd statements put forward and reccivod as truths, when a soldier's career is the subject of dircussion.We hear, ton, very often of the harsh treatment of the svldier by those why have eomsmand over bim ; such esses may occur.but they are very rare, and the soldicr has always his remedy.We will enmnmence with the recruit, who.having enlisted, reocived a certsiy sum in cash, snd also his kit, consisting of under clothes boots, brushes, razors, and uniform, is at once told off to a room, and commonces his carver as a soldier.During the sumwer hours, that is, between March and October, the recruit, in common with all soldiers, turns out as early us } past or half-past 6, and drills for an hour before breakfast, This consists of either the clement.ary drill of marching, or manual and platoon exercise, or the more advanced of company or battalion drill.Usually, at a quarter to eight bresktust takes place, und at a quarter to nine parady for drill, which then lusts two hours ; at a quarter to one o'clock dinner, and at a quarter to two parade for drill again, which is one-half or two hours io length.Tea tukes place in the evening at six, or later, according to cireumstan- ces, ud the soldier is then free until roll-call at 9 or 10 p.m., at which hour he must be in his burrack-room to answer his name.Half an hour after roll-call, the lights in\u2018each room mu-t be extinguished, and the men are then supposed to retire For the night.Here is u mere outline of the daily life of a soldier, but there are considerable variations to this, of which we will treat befure entering inte details.When a man has completed his enurse of ele- wentary drills, he is termed \u2018na duty-man\u201d which means that he is fitted to perform regular duties where a kuowledze of drill is required, such as mounting guards and sentries to be supplied.=o the soldier mounts guard every sconnd.third, fourth or fitth night.It rarely happens thut the duty is so severe as to require guard to be mounted by the same mes on alternate nichts: every third or fourth night is, however, act uncommon.When a guard is made up, there are always three times as many men forming the guard us there are posts to be supplied with sentries ; thus, as the duration of a sentry's tour is two hears, he is altogetlhier cight hours ou sentry when on guard.A man who mounts sentry at 11 o'clock is on fram 11 to 1, from § to 7,11 to 1 at night, and 5 to 7 in the morning.Thus lie my lie down in the guard-room und sleep from 7 all 11, and from 1 to 5, muking by ne means a bad nizht\u2019s rest.Again, should Tie be- lonz to the sec-nd relief, as it is termed, ix tour of sentry would be as follows: 1 to 3 p.m.7 ta 9 p.m., 1 te 3 a.m., and 7 to 9 am.When on sentry, a soldier must be perpetually on the slert : he must watch who approaches his post ; be ready to distinguish officers, und give them their proper salute ; be on watch to turn the the guard ont when any armed parties approach ; and must never clesn his eyss, or for a moment tu 1} x his vigilance.The soldier is usually ao ¢:ondud upon, brine rarely if ever alone, sleeping in a room with twenty other wen, marching shoulder to shoulder, &e., that it is rather an agree ble change to some men to have an opportunity for beins alone, such us is afforded by mounting senry for a few hours.The reflective man rarely finds this duty tiresome, whereas the unthinking cousider sentry the wost wearisome of all Lobour.Another duty-namely, picket-is less onernus than mounting guard.À man on picket par -des in the evening at sbout sundown, and is then broken off, unless there is some disturbance expected in or near the garrison.At roll-call at night, the picket parades, and if many men are absent, it is directed to march about the town or barracks.in order to take up uny men who may be absent, or creating a disturbance ; Lut at about 10 or 11 o'clock, the picket is dismissed, und the men retire to their rooms.There are varinus duties a soldier ia called upon to perform, which come under the head of fatigues.Heo has to onok the dinner in turn for the mon of his room ; to be one of s party to fetch couls und provisions ; to scrub out the room on a particular day ; snd so on.All those duties come round in turn, and each soldier therefore has to try his hund at the various lu- bours required of him.Cowmpurirg the uctual amount of hard work performed by a soldier and the\u2019 average of the rural population, we find the soldior\u2019s life one of comparative ense When he is in a garrison and during peace, He is always well protected from the weather ; is woll cluthed ; enjoys his fire, no maticr what the price of coals; has meat once n duy, and generally à pint of porter with hin dinucr ; has his tea and broakfust ; and also may hive the use of a good library, where there nre Bewsp-p.re, a8 well us books, and where he can sit in à quiet warm room, during his leisure hours.The anxioty felt by the labourer ss regards his subsistenca is of course uoknown to the suidior.The actual comfort and prosperity of a soldier depend very much upon the men into whose so ciety he is forced.Living in the same room, dining nt thy svme tuble, and being almost always together, the annoyance is greut it one's comp inions are distasteful ; and among so many ns there are in the army, there aro always men wlw will be obouzious to the well-pricipled.If wevoral men of à room are bud characters, drankards, or gramblers, @ man who separates himself from them is not unusually treated aa an upstart, and fnds is difficult to obtain either porcs or qnietaews, Whew, however, the ma- Jority of the men are gond soldiers.the bad chinrasters, being in the minority, sre kegs down and are ngt therefor able to annoy the others.A system used to be common is the army, but has lately fullon into disuse, we are inclined to R.MARCH 87, mon of » company or room to form themselves into » judge and jury, and to punish any man who misbehaved himself.Whea this system was eurricd out, 8 drunkard who came howe, and went to bed, thus avoiding being found out by the authorities, and who then shirked bis proper work in consequence of pleading sickoess, would be sure to meot with punishment from his vonrades ; whereas Lis commanding officer wight have a.difficulty in dealing with the case.There are scverul offences which, whilst they are very unsoMierlike, are still sosreely punishable by military law.For exumple, we were onos aware of a soldier who invariubly complained of illucss, and deceived the medicul officers by the statement of his pains, whenever he was detuiled for guard.the mun disliking seotry-duty.The men of his room did his work for a long time, but at length determined to try him by their awa laws, the result of which was, that he received such punishmeont as prevented him from again repeating his deception.A soldier is very much under the power of the non-commissioned officers with whom be serves, and his praxpects io life may be ruined if he should meet with un unjust or severu man.Furtunately, the selcction of men to be made non-commissioned officers often depends upon the man\u2019s conduct und character, and it rarely happens thot an unfit mao is selected.Still, instances have ocourred where thero has becn the most harsh conduct practised by non-cominission- ed officers, and where soldiers have been driven to desperation thereby.The evidence of a pon.commissiotied officer is and must be taken before that of a common soldier.This is the foundation of military discipline ; and thus, if a private states one thing sod a corporal the oppo site, the corporal's evidence is tuken, und the other man's rejected.In order to maintsia that strict discipline which is essential to the union of an army, it is vecessary to have n code of crimes and punishments quite different from those which come under the head of civil offences.A soldier when on duty is a most responsible agent, and upon him the fate of un army, or at lenst of segeru! lives, might depend.Therefore, if a private soldier were cither druuk when on duty, or usleep nn bis post_ when on sentry, runs a fir chance of being shot.The most common crimes in the British army are drunkenness sud absence without leave ; after this come losing or making nway with regimental necessaries, desertion, insubordination, and walingering, or feiun- ing disease.It a soldier is proved to have been daunk, und was not at the time on duty, be receives a punishment which variegs according to his character and the nature of his offence.If drunk on duty, ie must be sent to a court martial for trial, except under very spreial cir cumstances.A commanding officer, before whom a prisoner is brought, can give the following punishments, or any part of them, according to the degree of the crimes committed : Stop- a day, a man has been absent without leave ; fourteen days with confinement to barracks ; confinement to barracks to the amount of twenty- cight days ; confinement in the dark room for one Lundred and sixty-cixht hours.If a soldier
