Why, as was urged by the member for Carâ€" leton yesterday afternoon, should the volunâ€" teers be exposed to the jealousies which would inevitably arise, if those from one muâ€" meipality were treated more generously than those from another?© And why should the ilo)'d municipalities ‘ pay mote than their imst proportion" asked the member for Just . proporti Korth Leeds. Without admitting or‘ denying the force of these objections, let us first see the full effect of the policy of closing the door against Muniâ€" cipal aid to the Volunteers in case of sudden emergency. We have already learned from experience that the Government provision for the maintengnce of the Volunteers in the feld had hitherto been sadly deficient. We shall accept the statement that (the men were inadequately paid ; that they made great saâ€" crifices in going to the front, neglecting their business, and in some cases hiring others to work in their stead ; that in short they incurâ€" red, in many instances, heavy pecuniary losses, without any adequate compensation, and that all these Sacrinces were made in the defence of the country at large. . But must they, therefure, be paid tor by the General Govâ€" ernment, and by no other?

No doubt the country is willing to pay all that is actually necessary to maintain an efficient volunteer force; but A interest and patriotism are to be combined, through the teimptation of high wages and full inleucofm,-ho»'u‘uwollknov-,i- paid at a much lower rate than they are. It is mmmxmmcovm And is every avenue to voluntarily contriâ€" l buting towards the; defence of the country to | be closed but one ? shall the people be proâ€" | hibited fromâ€" giving anything but personal service as a free will offering at the shrine of patriotiem ? Yet, this is practically the conâ€" elusion to which they must come who argue against the municipalities assuming a share in the expenses of maintaini ng the volu ateers. It cannot surely be‘a mistaken policy to exâ€" line of personal service, and to permit those whose circumstances enable them to do so, to assist the country with their means, at the same time that they are rewarding the devoâ€" tion of the. volunteer, and encouraging the growth of ‘patriotie feeling in the counâ€" iwy. Those municipalities which â€" have contributed, or which shall hereafter contribute, â€"towards the support of the Velunteers are no more unjustly dealt by, becauseof other municipalities not contributâ€" ing, than is the man who volunteers ihjured by him who does not. ‘This perinissive powâ€" er conferted upon the municipalitiesis but an extension, and in our view of the case a.very wise extension, of the voluntary system of deâ€" ience, and when the day comes that the muâ€" nicipalities of the country refuse to avail themselves generously, in times of danger, of this power, then, we predict the day of reliance upon that system will have passed. â€" So long us the municipalities come forward with spirit to provide for the wints of the Volunâ€" teersin case of emergency, so long we may lepend upon it will the country be hiberally supplied with men to fight its battles; but if we base the maintenance of the force excluâ€" sively on (the Parliamentary appropriation towards that purpose, we inuat soon expect to see the spirit of volunteering die out ; because we shall then pave deprived it of the best of all incentives, the active sympathy of the‘ public, as evinced by substantial encourageâ€" ment. Ptfllepfit wonld not be too much to say that mangthn efficient Company throughâ€" ut the country owes its continued existene, in a very great degree, to the timely apprcâ€" priation by some sympathising municipal corâ€" poration, of a hundred dollars or so towards the construction of a drill shed Commtttzo.â€"The iman arrested by Sergeant Davies,.of the police force, for stealing a silver watch from a person in Hull, was yesaterday taken to Aylmer, and was committed for trial at the next Assizes. » Miurtary Movexsxts.â€"We learn from a very teliable source, that on the removal of the detachment of the P.C.

At this season of the year, the woods are peculiâ€" arly besutiful, tinged with the rich hues of midsummer, and here in this sequestered spot nature has been lavish of her bounties, and most ‘ suitably , adapted these grounds for a monster picâ€"nic.

Mr. GALT the House received the ‘report of the. Committe« of Supâ€" ply on the militia estimates. The several items werg concurred in without debate. * £* Hon.

Hethought that on a government day especially, the business sbould be conducted in a tone of voice that all might be able to hear.

Atty.â€"Gen.

U » & it To uk oc d To authorize the salé of the Peterborough and Chemong Lake Railway Company.â€"Hon. Mr. Sol.â€"Gen. Cockburn. _ _ « The House went into Committee of the Whole on the bill to amend the Act respectâ€" ing the Volunteer um?n Force. Hon, J. A. MACDONALD explained the changes proposed, in the second section of the present Act. _ First, repealing the limit of 35,000, formerly set to the namber of volunâ€" teers which the Commandérâ€"inâ€"Chief is emâ€" powered to raise and equip, and also that he may call out such voluntcer force, or any part thereof, for actual service, whenever it‘is, in his opinuion, advisable {so to do, insteadâ€"of as forme:{y, " in case of war, invasion, jor insurâ€" rectio) . He instanced cases in which, it .might be necessary to call out the militia ‘Tor: ‘the c;.fimnemd our own laws, when neither [ war, invasion, nor insutrection prevailed, such as »t the time of the St. Alban‘s raid. i 'I‘L second and third clauses were adopted. On the motion for the adoption of the fourth clauge, j _Mr. DUNKIN said he understood that it was the intention by the Government that the Yolâ€" unteer force should be organized in all parts o6 the country. Now the tact was, that in consequence of whole companies being called suddenly from places where the population was sparse, great and very serious inconvenâ€"< iâ€"nce bad resulted, and parties would not be so ready to volunteer again. The suggestion he had to make was this, that a rovisional enâ€" rollment of .a portion of. the C'olnnteer comâ€" panies in such places might be authorized, taking a stated ‘minority of the company, on the condition that they will not be compeiled against their own pleasure to go t> distant E:u of the country, but in all other partienâ€" to be subject to the general regulations. He merely wished that the Government should be clothed with legal power to adopt such a course in localities where it.might be deemed advisable. _ He believed that the great majority of those who would only provisionally enroll themselves at first would soon become unconaitional Volunteers, but the fact of these sudden calls to the fronticr having interfered so much with the private interests of some of the Volunteers, and the plan he proposed would, he thought, meet the difficulty. _ HonJ.S. MACDONALD made some remarks upon Mr. Dunkin‘s suggestion. EB Lo wb aae epiiero on e onl alae nc e â€" Mr. POWELL considered the member for Brome‘s proposition as «xceedingly objectionâ€" able. It was a sort of mongrel arraugement which would work very unsatisfactorily. He thought there was no use in enrolling volanâ€" teers who were not willing to go to mect the énemy. s .. "["." â€"Mr. BLANCHET did not approve of the proposal of the membeér for Brome. â€" 1f he gave a militia bill, like his Temperance bill they would find that the machinery would not work (a laugh.) The fourth clause was adopted. Hon. J. A. MACDONALD entered into exâ€" planations regarding the fifth clause, enacting that municipalities may provide armouries, drill sheds, &c., and expend money connected with the support and encourgement cf the volunteer force, or to the families of volunâ€" teers, The power thus given to the municiâ€" palities was strictly permissive ; they were left free to assist the voluntéers at their own pleaâ€" sure Hon. J. 8. MACDONALD commented at some length on the clause, contending that provision for the maimed and wounded should be made by the genciai government, and not by the municipalities, i Mr. POWELL considered the clause very obâ€" jectionable, and thought it should be struck, out. It was a wrong| principle to leave the Municipalities exposed to the rivalries which would occur, by one giving more than another, and the bad feeling:which might beâ€" engender: ed thereby among th¢ Volunteersâ€" We should not copy the example‘ of the United States when the action of the General Government had been supplemented by local bodies : we should follow the course adopted in bgoh:;‘. rather than in the United States. He the clause would be struck out. _ Hon. J. H. CAMERON contended that the permissive power gived to the Municipalities [ to contribute towards the support of the Volâ€" unteers, would not be the cause of jeglousy, } but of a very proper feeling. +. "3Â¥ a§rcund position assumed by the member for Carteton the correct one. The Municipalities had no right to do more than furnish the men : let the country at large pay the expenses, He did not like the idea of the Municipalities suppleâ€" menting the government assistance, for that shewed that the government had not provided enough. It was not fuir to allow poor and loyal Municipalities to ovér tax themselves, when gome othe; Municipalities of a different Ltb Mr.: JONES (North Leeds) believed the GISLATIVE | ASSEMBLY FIFPTH SESSION foeling would perhaps neither give men money My. DUNKIN said the only way to induce the young men to do their duty was to show them that the older and richer geople were willâ€" ing to do theirs, and that could best be done by aving them‘power to tax themselves for the tter support of the force, then the governâ€" ment pay would give them. He then suggestâ€" ed that some meins ought to be devised whereby the â€"Military authorities might know exactly what eac‘s Municipality had done toâ€" wards assisting he Volunteers. Anappropriâ€" ation might be made for some purpose tgnt might be the cause of injury instead of beneâ€" fit to the force, and he suggested that means should be «aken to haye some supervision . over their actions. C , Mr. RYMAL had a suggestion to make to the Minister of Militie, that the member for Brome should be put on the staff of the Adjuâ€" tantâ€"General. â€" He knew that to carry out this might give some trouble to the Adjutantâ€"Genâ€" eral, bift better that one should suffer than all the members of the House. (Laughte?.) > Mr. ROSS (Dundas) advocated the paying of thelexpenses of the Volunteers by direct taxation. f Mr. WALSH said there could not be a greater compliment to the people than that they were in danger of taxing theniselves too much for the support of the Volunteers, He supported the motion. Fepn PAERRT TT PRIESE Goi ies alipus matcad AopE ooo nA is Mr. FERGUSON (Simcoe) contended that the wovernment pay of the Volunteer force was only a ©miserable pittance," and should be inâ€" creasell to fitty cents per day, with rations, ‘The present system has given great dissatisfaction, as at some places rations had cost more than at others ; the proper way was to provide the raâ€" tions by Government, no matter what the price. . He was sure the House and tie connâ€" try would approve the suggestion he l.ad made cf raising the pay to fifty cents a day with raâ€" tions. He had learned within the past few days that one of the VolJunteer companics lately _ returnedâ€" from . wuty . at â€" Prescott, were so much dissatisfied with their pay that sixteen of them had since resigned. _ Some of these men had tohire others to do theift own work, and it was most unjust that they should be paid with tv_venty-ll‘v.e cents per day. the TOEEOY NA ar Cndundt 7 W Hon. J, A, MACDONALD said there woere many questions connected with this‘ subject which might be gone into, but it would soon have to undergo revision under the Confedeâ€" rate Government of British North America. He had to remind the hon. member, however, that the Volunteers and the Militia of Canada, would have in case of war to fight side by side with Her Majesty‘s Regular foreesâ€"a body of men who were under a much smaller rate of pay than the Canadian Volunteers. He then replied to the ; objections of the member for Carleton, referring to cases where in times of trial the peopie had comp to the assistance of the government, by making the most liberal contributions for the support of those who had been disabled by war, â€" He ‘hoped the: clause would meet the approval of the House and the country, (Hear.) _ . Mr. SHANLY moved that the fifth clause be amended by further empowering the Muniâ€" cipalities to exempt Volunteers from the payâ€" ment of all Municipal rates or taxes, end the performance of statute labor.â€"Carried. The fifth clause was adopted. k On the sixth clause indemnifying Municiâ€" pelities for the assistance already extended to Volunteers, sonie discussion took place, which lasted until six o‘clock. The clause was adoptâ€" ed and the House rose. seven o‘clock. Several petitions were presented, .. / . Hon. Mr. HOWLAND introduced an Act to amend the Postâ€"Office Act (founded on the resolutions published on Wednesday). Hon. \r. COCKBURNX moved thtt the potiâ€" tion of the Cobourg and Peterborpugh Railway Company, for an Act, be now received Hon. Mr. HOLTON saidâ€"~that was not the motion the hon. gentleman had put upon the paper, that motion was for an extension of the time for receiving the petition to the 30th, and for . introducing the bill to the 6th August. He thought this a most extraordinary way of telling the House that ordinary business was to be continued up to and beyond that time. man must have been driven to his â€"wits‘ end for a cause of complaint. The bill his motion reterred to was & rinh bill, and no inference could be drawn from it as to the progress of the Government business. ‘The mention of 6th August w Monday next P ob mt Hon. J. 8. MA‘*DONALD again complained of the Goveram: it allowing the time which should be devuted ‘to public affairs,yto be wasted upon private bills to the very end of the session. Here was a member of the Govâ€" erament now asking that another bill of the kind be cousidered a week hence, when the promised measures of the Government were not yet brought down. He protested against this course and would continue to do so. . Hon. J. A. MACDONALD replied in a huâ€". morous and sarcastic vein. . The majority of the House l\?memed the majority of the country, and if the majority of the country preâ€" ferted these little private, loca} bills, about the building of a canal, or a railway, or the taking out of a patent, things so far beneath the notice of the member for Cornwall, to those great questions which m‘d his attention, that hon. gentleman w be compelled to submit. Hon. Mr. COCKBURN‘S$ motion was then agreed to as printed on the paper, that the time for receiving the petition of the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway Company for an act, be ‘extended till Monday, the 30th inst., and that the time for introducing the bill on such petiâ€" tion be extended till Monday, the 6th day ot August next. After which Messrs. Holton and J, 8. Macdonald * withdrawing their qbjection, the motion to receive the petition was carried, The pétition was accordingly receiv ed. The bills which passed through committee this afternoon (enumerated above) were then read a third timg and passed. 1 _Second Sitting. The SPEAKER took the chair at halfâ€"past The Honse again went into Committee on the Volunteer Militia bill. wÂ¥ * _ A good deal of discussion took place on the subject, cach speaker ventilating his own peculiar views. . a Mr. RANKIN argued in fayor of strict disciâ€" pline, andrg winst high pay for the volunteers ; it would be no credit to a man to volunteer for the purpose of bettering: his condition. He also regretted that the Government had seen fit to reduce the active force so much as they had, for he did not believe that the country was yet out of danger, He urged upon the Government the propriety of orgauizing a smallâ€"force of Service Militia, as provided for in the 11th clause by Voluntary Enlistment, as a wise precautionary measure, and alluded to the charges preferred against some of the offiâ€" cers of the volunteer force during the late troubles. 7 be continued u&&o and beyond that timo, Hon.

At 1 o‘clock, the Prussians, however, recovered some of the | | ground on the right nearthe big tree. The Austrian artillery began to fall back over the | brow of the hill, gnd l{.'llfn battalions of infanâ€" | try came in sight and moved away obliquely i towards the centre. .

More tumbrils blew up in that direction ; so that there were now six or seven villages on fire from lett to right. ‘The battle was assuming a ‘more‘ awful and tremendous aspect, hnd the faint rays ‘of sunshine which shot at intervals through the clouds only gave the ®scene greater‘ terror. _ Horses without riders careered among the wounded, who were crawling all over the plain, dismounted. Dragoous dragged themselves to the rear, and | men came crawling along in such numbers that they appeatred like a broad fringe to the edge of the battle. But where they most swarmed‘ was over the plain, near the big tree. The rolling of musketry in the hollows beyond smothered the voice of the cannon. At last the reserves behind were pressed forward with energy. The aitillery nolimbering, opened from sixteen guns intothedemebloeoor:-u which were driving the Austrians before them, and checked their advance, till the Prussian artillery, getting upon the small ridge and firing down so as to get a slight enfilade, began to knock over horses und men. The Austrians, however, here as elsewhere, stuck to their pieces admirably, and it was not till the Prusâ€" sian infantry, getting into a clump of timber, opened & sharp‘fire on their flank ‘hat they limbered up, leaving more than one bm to mark the position they had ied . Meanwhile the Austrians on the left pursued their onward carcer. The. maxon reserves pushed up the hills in the direction of Xechan. itz, and a great body of cavairy sweeping round between the left and centre pushed in waveâ€"like columns through the smoke toâ€" wards the Prussians, and menaced their arâ€" tillery, against which some thirty ot forty Austrian pieces in line were directing a steady «wnd rapid fire. . Prussian prisoners began to ar« rive at intervals between the; convoys of wounded winding their way nlat:n Prague road.‘ Most of these belonged to the Sixth and Thirtyâ€"first regiments, to jnk:zo- the numâ€" bers on their shoulderâ€"straps, among them was an officer of great stature, with red mousâ€" Atache and whiskers, who bore his captivity with great sang froid, and walked along like a THE BATTLE OF SADOW A conqueror, Critical Situation for the Prussians. At this time the Austrian artillery were mak»â€" ing splendid practice, and about 1 o‘clock the whole battleâ€"line of the Prussians could gain no more nd, and was obliged to fight hard to mln‘tfif“po-ition it had won. At one time it seemed asilf it would be lost, for guns had been dismounted by the Austrian fire, and in the wooded ground the needleâ€"gun had no fair field, and the infantry fight was very equal. Then Prince Frederick Charles sent the 5th and *h divisions forward. They laid down their 1. â€"!metsand knapsacks on the ground, and advanced to the river. The King was now near toâ€" Bistritz, and the troops cheered him loudly as they marched into battle. . They went over the Sadowa bridge, disappeared into the wood,»and soon the increased noise told they; had begun to fight; but the Austrian gunners| sent salvo after salvo among them, and they did not push the battle forward more than a, few hundred yards, for they tell back themâ€", glvu, and they could not reach the enemy.‘ ot only did the fragments of the shells fl’y. about among them, scattering deathand awful ‘ gashes among their ranks, but the portions of, the trees, torn by the artillery fire, flew thickâ€" | ly about huge ragged splinters that caused | even more frightful wounds.

Frangky‘s L men, cut to pieces, could not be sent forward ' to‘attack the Sadowa wood, for they would have exposed themselves to be taken in the rear by the artillery on the right of the Ausâ€" trian line formed in front of Lippa. All the artillery was engaged except cight Wu“ and these bad to be retained in case ‘of & reâ€" | verse, for at one time the firing in the Sadowa wood, andof the Prussian artillery on the slope, seemed almost as if drawing back toâ€" ward Bistrits. The First Army was certainly checked in its advance, if not actually being pushed back. ‘ Looking out for the Crown Prince.
