Recently, in the House of Commons, Mr. Brodrick, replying to Sir Charles Dilke, said that the effective strength of hones on the British establishment of the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Artillery wasat present 4488. In 1876 it was 5964. and in 1877 it was 5950, remaining the same in 1878. The cause for the difference in numbers was the reduction of the Horse Artillery batteries, which aesounted for about 730 of the reduction, and in 1879-80 a reduction of about 700 waggon horse* was made in the field batteries. There was now a reserve of hones, which did not exist iu the earlier years named. A rector near Cirenceeter, England, who went heavily into farming, baa come to grief, his aseete ahewing about 7a 6d in the pound, or 5s if his wife's money be allowed to rank. The rector had disappeared, leaving hit wife and serin children, eaying be wuld do* Uoehii creditors.
