EXTRACT FROM filiscellaneous Reading “ Seven Years in ye Western Land.” Two very decent nags were being walked‘ over the Course by their riders, preparatory to the contest, which was soon to take place. One was a bay horse, blind of an eye, who gave promise of doing some very respectable work, while the other, a neat little mare, ap- peared to possess wind and bottom enough to have made her SUPBI‘IOI‘ to her antagonist in a longer race. It was agreed that there should ; be five heats, the best three in the five to win ‘ the purse. Aside from the purse, bets multi- plied rapidly arnong the bystanders, the wa- gers ranging from the “drinks” up to ten, twenty, and sometimes titty dollars aside. Odds were given on the horse who seemed to be a favourite. ‘ - t ' '. 1 1.91. U6 (1 ICLV qu 1th. When the time for starting had arrived, both horses were up to the scratch, and eager for the word. The Jockeys, two half breed buys, were stripped to their hats and Iain“, 5cm? were, without GXFBPUO'J, the best riders I ever saw. “ All ready?” “ Aye, aye I” ; t “ One, two, three, and away yon go.” At the word three they both bounded away as if they had been shot out of a cannon. ‘~' Here they come!

Excitement raged furious. There were three fights in five minutes, be- ‘ Sides sundry other squabbles occurring among the niggers, Indians, and Frenchmen. The horses were slowly led back to the starting post. and allowed to rest for a few minutes. The horse did much better at the second heat, having fairly distanced the mare,though that was probably to a certain degree attribu- table to a collusion between the jockeys and some of the knowing ones. A general season of fighting again took place, as every loser thought himself cheated, and perhaps was not far from right. At about this time an individual of someâ€" what verdant aspect, who was seated astride a dejected gray horse, covered with galls and harness marks, took occasion to deride the whole race in no measured terms. He. howâ€" ever, directed his most disparaging remarks toward the horse, whom he designated as “ a cussed old oneoeyed mole, and not wuth a . ‘ )3 copper darn forrrunrnng. , _ __ _ - -“L A ucvnfl n nnnnnnr Blue eyes from heaven are lighted With holy soul-born glow, 'E‘o cheer the poor man benighted, And charm him out of woe.

They were about 40,000 not Si in number, and they had about 60 guns, but are 1 they had neither magazines nor clothing, nei- from ther baggage animals nor tents. The cavalry on th had no horse, and even the Staff did duty on Milit foot. So destitute was the French Govern- lllOU‘ {ment of pecuniary resources, that when the Yorli generals of this army received agratuity of polis £3 a-piece it was thought a consrderable re- firin: mittance; as for the soldiers, they had nei- confi ther shoes to their feet nor coats to their backs, thou and if war could be prevented by penury, as to on some economists: have im agineil, stronger in” ‘ guarantees for peace could never be desired Alla than such as then pressed upon the troops of m or: the Republic. But these men were capable Can of great deeds when well commanded, and 0131: they had just received a new commander in forci the person of General Napoleon Bonaparte. NI a ( Beneath them, in the territories of Sardinia, i) a r: were ranged their antagonistsâ€"the Austrians, u e with about 50,000 men and 200 guns; the “left ' Piedmontese then, as now, the best soldiers (1:11)] , in Italy, with about half that strength. At Isa; 3 the beginning of April the struggle commenc- arrr L ed, and its events could be designated by a v 01“ i succession of names carrying their import to Brit 1 the reader’s mind without explanation or com- am -' merit. Montenotte,Millesimo,Mondovi,Lodi, son 1 Milan, Verona denote but so many stages of a ful f triumphant advance. In 15 days, as Boua- I ma f parte exultingly proclaimed, his soldiers had wh ', gained six victories, had killed or wounded of l 3 10,000 of the enemy, and had captured wh 21 standards, 55 pieces of cannon, and 15,- en‘ - 000 prisoners. On the 30th March he had luf I, been still standing on the Apennines, and by mc S the 3rd of June he was in Verona. Before an y that day in the year following he had travers- so It ed Lombardy in its whole length and entered In} If Venice, until at length, on the 17th of October vd lS ~18 months after the opening of the campaign tht H -â€"-the Austrians were fain to make peace. , . th. I’ About two years afterwards these scenes of H were re-enacted. In the interval Napoleon of had gone to Egypt, and has ventured his for- . 0 . . . is :e tune in the Desert ; but affairs had gone ill 111 of 31 his absence, and when he suddenly returned ar g, from the East the Austrians Were once more {0? 1y in Piedmont, and the French had to retreive. . . . IS . Once more, therefore, did he concert a deer-_ 1d sive campaign. On this occasrona new army ut was collected with extraordinary secrecy on or the French side of the Alps, and conductedby kl LP: the passes of the Great St. Bernard into the '91' Italian plain before the Austrian Commander ISt was well aware of the expedition. He turned. C are to fight, but the battles of Montebello and m Marengo destroyed his hopes, and again the ’ho French were masters of the field. The seâ€" mt cond campaign, in fact, was as brief. and as ( conclusive as the first. It was only in June 1] that the victory of Marengo had been achievâ€" ’1: hat ed, but. by the February following Austria had 10" made peace over again. hat In the circumstances of these famous con- 5 00k flicts we may discern many points of coinci- 1 It 1 dance, but many also of contrast, with the 1 "11' conditions of the struggle nowimpending. Of ? 3h! the relative powers of the combatants at the . 'gh: two periods it is perhaps hazardous to speak. All the States of Europe since the beginning of the century have developed their resources, and, unhappily, in the direction of war as much as in other directions. Sardinia alone tars, could now produce amore powerful army than York that brought by either France or Austria to and; the campaign of 1796. At this moment the, ,oad- Austrians can throw 150,000 men across the had Ticino, and if France cannot encounter them med with an equal array it is for lack of prepara~ 1 they tion only. General Hess, the chief of the ward Austrian Staff, is "IQâ€"just about the age of hem, Beaulieu, Napoleon’s first antagonist, so that old practice of Austria in this respect boat, seems to be unchanged.

There can only be one true defence of a nation like oursâ€"a large and permanent volunteer force supported‘by the spirit and patriotism of our young men, and gradually indoctrinating the country with military knowledge. We are the only people in the world who have not such a force in one form or another. There are the Americans at 3,000 miles distance from Europe, and without an enemy or arival on their own continent. Yet they keep up a Militia which can muster several hundred thousands strong, and on some occasions New _. York wears the aspect of a European metro- ‘ polis, such is the parading, drumming, and ' firing. The result of this is to be seen in the confidence they have in their own strength, though without either army-nor navy, according to our notions of spch forces ’ But at the meet» ing held in St. Martin’s H ill on Saturday, Sir _ Allan McNab cited an instance which still more closely interests us. :lle spoke of the 1 Canadian Militia and their services in the war of 1812. When Bonaparte was marching his '1 forces on Russia, the ambitious President, Mr Madison, took advantage of the suppOSed em~ 7 barrassments of England, to attempt the con-5 ” quest of Canada by an American army. Total E I defeat, however, awaited them, and General ° Hull surrendered with his whole force to Sir ft Isaac Brock. But of what was the victorious army composed? Of Canadian militia and La volunteers; for when the. war broke out the *0 British « had not in Canada 900 men of all 1." arms above the city of Montreal.” May we 1" some day in this country have a force as use-'- 3' ful and patriotic! An though everyEnglish- 1d - man may well feel proud of the gallant army l d which has fought in India; though the words 3d of Lord Ellenborough will speak to their hearts when he said that with such troops we should ”('1' engage any other in the wink! with the abso- 1 lute certainty of success, yet we must once 3y more raise our veices in favor of those local '18 and domestic levies which will be the best Si supportto a nucleus of Indian heroes. We BC. know that if the hour of danger should come :31 volunteers would rush forward by hundreds of an thousands; but it is to obviate such a panic that we would ask for the speedy restoration .es of what may be called the old national force on of the country.

A man named Sismey died recently at Castor, England, and Whilst on his death-bed he confessed to having participated in the murder and robbery of Thomas French, a shepherd, of Stibbington, in November, 1816.
