Tnz Army Estimates for 1857-8 show a decrease 03 the revised estimates of 18,56-7 of 9,023,331/.

We stated yesterday that the decrease in the Navy Estimates was 8,188,8871. The total, there in., of the decrease on the Navy and Army Esti mates is 17,212,6381. From this specimen of the resolute manner in which the Cabinet has set about cutting down the public ex penditure, we need have:very little hesitation in coming to the conclusion that to-morrow evening we shall learn the abandonment of the whole of the War Income ' Tax, without, as we reasonably anticipate, a resort to any other form of taxation. The fears that Ministers were inclined to be prodigal in time of peace, may almost be converted into apprehen sions that their tendency is now to err on the aide of economy. We now learn • :fact connected with the army of considerable interest to the troops. The present depot system at the great camps where our troops are mimed, and disciplined, and instructed • an army, will, we hear, be continued for the present. But hereafter these depots will be broken up in the winter, and the troops placed in ordinary barracks, to the great increase of their comfort and health, and also of their efficiency—for to efficiency comfort and health are of course essential. From April to October, the army will, it is stated, in subsequent years undergo training in these camps; but from November to March they will be broken up and placed in the old depots. This is a change which will be thank fully received in a climate like ours by both meis mid officers. ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Owing to the severity of the weather, the harbour of Boston was covered with ice, and a passage had to be cut through it for a distance of eight miles, before the America could proceed to sea. The ice was two feet thick. The merchants of Boston were at the expense of the operation. The America appears to have suffered considerable damage, having a large quantity of copper torn from her hull, and many of her paddle-floats broken or carried away. It was just thirteen years before when a passage of two miles had to be made for the Britannia steam ship, of the same line, to enable her to proceed to sea from Boston harbour. . The President elect, Mr. James Buchanan, arrived at Washington on the 27th ult. There was a num ber of his friends awaiting his arrival, but no public reception took place. The Hon. Preston IL Brooks, well known as the "caner" of Mr. Sumner, in the House of Represen tatives, died at Washington on the 27th ultimo, at Brown's Hotel. Ile bad been in bed a day or two, suffering from the effects of a severe cold.

New Orleans advice. state that the recent snow storm did not prevail with any violence further south than Columbia. The cold had been intense, and the railroads were stopped, owing to the impos sibility of getting water. The Post-office committee of the House of Repre sentatives had reported in favour of lines of mail steamers between New York, West Indies, and Brazils, New York and Gluckatadt via Rotterdam, and Panama and Valparaiso. The steam-ship Illinois arrived at New York on the 28th with California dates to the sth, and 1,170,1100 dots. There was nothing exciting from San Francisco. Business was extremely dull. Rates were unchanged. The arrivals of gold dust from the interior were increasing, but barn were scarce. Messrs. Cook, Folger, and Co., and A. J. Downer, had failed. _ . . The excitement concerning the State debt had died away ; whatever uncertainty , might have been felt previously had yielded to the unanimous senti ment that the decision of the Supreme Court opposer, no obstacle, legal or moral, to the prompt and faithful payment of every dollar. A bill had been already framed, and would be introduced at an early day of the session of the legislature, to refund the debt and submit it to the vote of the people, in con formity with the requirements of the constitution. A severe snow storm occurred at San Francisco on the 29th of December, and on the 30th it was visited by a severe gale of wind and heavy rain. The Magdalena Company's steamer foundered off Savanilla on Dee. 23. Twelve men, including en gineer and mate, perished. Revolutionary measures arc in progress at Car thagena and Bogota, the object being to form a federal government and upset the Orsina adminis tration. Two heavy shocks of earthquake were felt at Panama on Jan. 13.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. CHINA. The Pays rays: "It is positively stated that the latest news from China announces that the representatives of all the foreign powers, with the exception of the United State+, have persisted in their declaration of neu trality in the Canton affair. It appears that while blaming the conduct of the Viceroy of Canton, and admitting the justice of the English complaints, the _ _ general opinion before the commencement of hostili ties was that Admiral Seymour's plan would not bring about the just concessions from the court of Pekin that were asked for, and that its only result would be to strike a fatal blow at European com merce. The soundness of this opinion has been jus tified by subsequent events." A letter from Teheran to the 3rd January, rid Russia, states that Ina Khan, who governed the town of Herat in the name of the Shah, after having defended it against the Persian troops, has been assassinated by an Afghan. TUE PRINCIPALITIES. Constantinople letters of February 2 state that M. de Koller, the Austrian Commissioner for the Principalities, had left for Trieste and Vienna. The Prussian and Russian Commissioners, MM. Bich toffen and Basile, had also left for Berlin and St. Petersburg respectively. _ Account; from Bucharest of the 2nd state that the Austrian troops in the neighbourhood were making preparations to depart, but that for the moment no idea of moving could be entertained, as the cold was intense, whilst the high grounds were too deeply co vered with snow to permit without a heavy loss the transport of artillery and baggage. NAPLES. A letter from Naples to the C'attefiro states that Monsignor Rossetti, Archbishop of Acerenza and Maters, has exhibited signs of insanity since the execrable attempt upon his life by a priest. A letter from St. Petersburg seems to confirm what has been stated with respect to the instructions given to M. de Kokockine, Russian minister at Naples, to the effect of insisting on the necessity of a modification being introduced into the internal policy of the kingdom. The representations of the Russian ambassador are to be supported by Baron de Omit:, Prussian minister at the Neapolitan capital. PARMA. Letter. from Parma of the Bth announce that at seven o'clock on the morning of that day the Aus trian troops evacuated the city and duchy of Parma. This event had caused the grcattst satisfaction. The Duchess conferred several decorations of the Order of St. Louis and of the Constantinian OrdcT of St. George on the chief officers of the Austrian battalion. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOW OUR OWN COILRESPONDWIT.) PARIS. Wcincrmbet Evrivia. The government has thought it worth while to inflict a warning upon the Ga:ette de France for an article on the " Fusion." The warning describes the article as an attack upon the constitution. Fire Norman oxen have just passed through Caen on their way to Poiesy, to compete for the honours of Mardi Gras. Their names are Due Guillaume, Prairie, Sucees, Qu'en dira-ton Pritendent. Some People fancy there is a political significance in these names ; at all events it can hardly be supposed, that with the prospect of a general election, and after the warning to the Gazette de Ilranee, a Priteadmit will beillowed to walk the atreets of Paris as a Ikea Gras. The Nowiteur de rArnife announces that, con iidering present eireumbtances, the Minister at War has authorised generals cmnmanding divisions to be more liberal in granting leave of absence to officers than they were last year. M. Fould is expected in Paris almost immediately from his tour of investigation into the causes of the doarsoos of proriamo in the south of France. The Beer - se hes been in an uncertain state.

Baron do Seehach, Saxon Minister at Paris, has been named in the same quality at Turin, which post is to be henceforth united to that of I'aris, as it was formerly to that of Vienna. Count Walcwski has just received from the Em peror of Russia the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Andrew. A letter from St. Petersburg states that it is gene rally thought there that Count de hforny will not leave Itussia before the month of May. Count de Montessuy, the French Minister at Frankfort, who had been fur a few days in Paris, has returned to his post. M. Guizot has kit Paris for his property at Val Richer, in Normandy. Marshal Pelissier has quitted Paris to par a shot time in lhutphine. The Figaro same days back published a letter bearing the signature of M. Couture, the painter, which excited great surprise, as in speaking of art it declared that the writer was the only painter now in France who looked on his profession in a really serious end conscientious manner. The communication produced so great a sensation in the artistic world that the editor of the /Var., after waiting some days to see if M. Couture would deny the letter, determined to wait on hint and inquire if he really was the writer. The artist - - received him very courteously, and after having examined the manuscript, informed him that tho writing was an imitation of his, but that he not only had not written the letter, but that he knew nothing whatever about it. The editor then showed an anterior letter in the same handwriting, which M. Couture declared was likewise a forgery. A assplaint having been lodged by the editor, the police are endeavouring to trace out the writer. The Journal de Constantinople states that Sir Henry Hu'leer is going to Syria. _ _ .

The following letter was reecircti by the Massa- ' ehuants Ileum on the 23rd of January: • " Fellow-citizens of the Senate and Honee of Berme-Ina tires, —I have been officially notified that the people of Mns eachusinte, by concurrent votes of both brenches of the legis- Leture, have charged me with the duty of mpresenting them fin the Senate of the United States for another term of Fix years, on the expiration of that which I now have the honor to hold. This rennet trust I accept with gratitude, en hanced by the peculiar circumstances under wLich it has been bestowed. But far beyond every per. tial gratification is the delight of knowing by this edge, that the people of Masasehumes, forgetting ancient party hates, have at last ens together in fraternal support di a sacred cause compared with which the fete of any public 'errant is of small account. When first selected for their eminent trust, I was a stranger to all official life. Untried in public affairs, I was taken up and placed, without antecedent aspiration, in the station where, after an experience of nearly six years, you now, with spontaneous unanimity, bid TOO remain. Abort to commence a fresh term of service, I turn with honest pride to that which is about to close, while I greet anew the dutinn and responeibilities of my position; hoping that, by eon gientious endeavours, I may do eetnething in the future better than in the post, and menthe' that he who girdeth on his armour elmuld not boast himself as he who puteth it off. The duties of a public servant are not always conspicuous. Much a he time is abeerled in nues which, if not obscure, are little calculated to at tract public attention. Mroixachueetts justly expecte that no such intents shall be neglected. But by solemn reaolutions of her Legislature, by the votes of her peciple, and by the voice of her histry, Massachusetts espe cially enjoins upon her representativea to roe that, at all hazards, and whatever elm tnsy suffer. freedom shall prevail. Let me not neglect this injunction. Alike Ly synervithy with IM slave, and by a determination to save curilelves from Ink-bed thraklim, we are aim summoned to the effort now organised for the emancipation of the national government from a :degrading Intharice—hostile to civilisation—which wherever it shows itself, even at a distance, is brutal, vulgar, and mean, and constituter , an unnatural tyranny calculated to arouse the generoite indignation of pad men. Of course, no person who ie not ready to my in his heart that there is no trod ran doubt the certain requite. Itut this result, like every great good, can be arevieplielied only by well-dinted effort. I know something of the labour and trial which such tier ' vice impose.; I also knew tioniethieg of the mtisfaction I whirl, it affords, giving to all who truly espouse it a serener joy than anything in office or honour. • In the weary pee r tretion of menthe, from which I have now happily risen. my sharpest pang came out of my enforced separation from the cause which was so dem to me ; and now my chief joy is in the gisurance that to this service I nay deeliiate the vigorous health which, through medical care and the kindly miniatrationa of nature, I sail peened to In this well-founded assurance I welcome the trust which has again been conferred upon me, while I once more bespeak the candid judgment of my fellow-citizens, and once more in yoke the guardianship of a benignant Providence. I have the homer to boy fellow-enigma, with grateful regard, your faithful servant and assator, "Cuts. atlefl3t." On the motion of Mr. Hale, of Boston, the above letter was ordered to be entered in the daily journal of the house.

The Monitor, Suroisien records the following A priest of Annecy learned that a young workwoman, one of his parishioners, had undertaken to make some shirts for M.

It is rare for any long period to go by without affording some flesh example of the Popes benevolence and . . generosity tonisrds the indigent classes Of his subject.: Mk amusing instance of his Holiness's accessibility took place at the Vatican a few days ago, when a little boy presented him self in the outer antechamber of the apciatolie apartments, and begged to be admitted to the presence of the Pontiff. It may be imagined with what surprise this request was re mised by the palace servants, end how they endeavoured to make the child understand the incongruity of his domed. Whilst the affair was under discussion, a roonteiree regret* of his Holiness passed through the ante-chaniber,and hat in g the curiosity to learn what was the matter, referred it, us a good joke, to thePopsbimsclf. PioNono, however, gave orders for the child to be admitted to his presence, and hiving questioned him as to the reason of his wishing for an wadi ear, beard that the bey had an earnest desire to study, but that his parents unable procure him the necessary books, always put him off won an assuranee that the pope w o w buy them for him. To effect the realisation of this promise, the boy had mode the beet of his way to the Vatican, anti promptly informed his holiness that the works inelispensehk, tor the prosecution of his etudes would cost fifty-dire' e psuls. The pope directed the rameritre argreto to give him two dollar. (20 paulo), but the boy said that he could not buy his t•oelni with that, eo his Holiness benevolently took out two geld coins of five dollars each and presented them to the cm.ptured child, who forthwith made off towards the bsokseller's shop, followed by an officer of the Popes household who bad order s to ob s er ve his movements . Being that the boy had really appropriated the required money to the Furth.ee of books and that he had consigned the remainder to his mother, tie Pope took interest in him and allotted u monthly ewe for his education in the career of letters to which he seemed KO much attached. Another less edifying but notle-es amusing MCC dote hs been current in Reese tier the last few days, at the expense of the chaplain-major of the Popo'. army. It appears that this prelate, being dissatisfied with the e onduct of an officer in the foresni regiment, threatened to have loins aishiered, ithlew certain relations he maintained were discontinued. The resentment of the offleer, however, whether real or imagi , gave tine to some subsequent misgivings in the pre- W• Meant, which the recant attache upon eeckadastical dig nitrriee were by no means calculated to soothe. Mean while the oibier, having become acquainted at Foch with a nobleman of that town, Count Oaddi, a relation of do rope, who•• DOW in Rome, and enjoys a certain degree of influence, Legged his good offices to appease the wrath of Monaignor Tema-ant, the chaplain-major. the count, although unacquainted with the prelate, promised to call upon him far the desired purpose but requested to be infonoed at what hour be was moat likely to Mad Lim disengaged. This the either undertook to discover, and going to the chaphoin's residence fur that purpose, gave five pools to One a the servants, requesting him to give admittance to a pen dent= w ho would call about two o'clock, and who wished to god with the prelate on urgent business,.
