THE FIRST " ORDER " AFTER EASTER,
Corby Cattle, 1911s April 1854. Sin—It may not have escaped your acute observation, that at the solemn moment of the declaration of war, the House of Commons was engaged, not in framing measures of defence, but in seeking to blight the peaseof harmless and charitable nuns. The first "order of the day " after the Eas- ter recess announces a renewal of that pitiful debate. The security of the land would, at this hour, seem to claim more manly counsels. A recent number of the United Service Journal proves that the North- eastern shores and towns of England are wholly unguarded; the =Mune marts of commerce along the North-west coast are almost equally unpro- tected ; the Scottish seaports are scarcely better prepared. Per**, Ears you may deem these few remarks not unsuited to the occasion.
