WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.

A London telegram, January 9, says thoro is a light scare in England arieing from the mobilization of two British army corps, and officers on furlcugh belonging to regiments aot on the roster for foreign service aro stated to have been warned to hold them selves in readiness to report for duty, md - eating that preparations are advancing for tbe formation of a third army corps. It has further transpired that the War Office is pushing forward arrangements, pointing to tho army and navy reserves, and auxiliary forces being called out. Tho activity of the;A'dmiralty is still more omin ous. In liiberal circles it is believed that these preparations really mean war, but the figi.ting authorities explain them as part cf the arrangements for celebrating the Queen's Jubilee. The naval pensioners have been ordered to notify the Government of tbo names of the ships they would prefer: to. serve upon, or the ports they would prefer to be employed at, in view of being called' into possible active service.
