TO OUR eonegacaa of the abeaeptica of space by the reports of prooeedinp in Parliament, the Proprietor; hove dotorstold to twos a DOUBLE NUMBER • • SATURDAYS, so as to prevent the postpcse amok of interesting matter. No change will take place in the pie.. The FOURTH DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will appear on SATURDAY NEXT, Meath 7. IT is clear, • not only that there ham been an unwarrantably rash and cruel resort to arms on the part of the British authentic. at Can tos ; but also that arms have been resorted to in eider to compel the Chinese Government to submit to Injustice. The English began with granting to Chinese 'objects papersourder the covered which their bearers defrauded the Chinese revenue, by paying lower rates than were due, and by smuggling. The English took upon them to grant thew papers in virtue of a fraudulent misinterpretation of the terms of the Sapplasentas7 Treaty. And because the Chinese refired to acquiesce in their fraudulent usamstien, the English authorities in the Chinese votes have bombarded Clinton. We an told by some of the advocates of these out rageous proceedings that they regret what has w eaned, bat that, having begun, we nod go on. This 'masking apology is infinitely worse than the barefaced violence of those who justify the bom bardment It is the plea of Macbeth, when he nye that since he has waded so fir in blood, return would be as tedious as go on." It is the plea of the Dame PAULO and REDPASHa,who, having committed ow fraud, persuade themselves they must commit a down mere to conceal it Again, we are told that the only way to deal with the Chinese is to carry matters with a high hand. The whole history of our intercourse with that strange people proves this to be a fallacy. Strangely averse they undoubtedly are to intimate intercourse with us. The shifts and subterfuges to which they have recourse to keep us at arm's length are undoubtedly trying to the temper ; but everything shows that their reluctance to admit us to a more free and unrestrained intercourse has its origin in fear. Before the war of 1841 they were ter rilledby the reckless and wayward riots of our seamen. Since that event they are terriAed at our superiority in arms. There is only one way to counteract this feeling on their part, and that is to convince them that oar superior strength is tempered by superior conscientiousness. In other words,if ever we hope to place our intercourse with the Chinese on a more satisfactory footing, we must be especially careful that in all our quarrels with them we are In the right. Ws-Unice obtained over them in a bad cause will be mire to perpetuate their alienation and distrust.

If the Laurel party is to be broken np by the molt of the ChM= debate in the Hoses of Grew, that will be the doing of them who bliv• defended amines so utterly inmost:dyable with every principle ef the Liberal party es the outrages at Cantata. A party is net a mere anociatiat of isiivi; duals, but of individuals professing mei ahning at thenaliaation of certain principles. & combination of men, uncemented by principle, may be a clique, or a coterie, or a faction, but a party it is not. In asserting the principles of the Liberal party with reference to China, and in endeavouring to persuade as many of its members as possible to adhere to these principles in the coming division, we have, in fact, been labouring to preserve the Liberal party—to save as many of its members as possible from political shipwreck. Tess Army Estimates now before the House of Commons in ample detail disclose the opinion of Lord PANMUIIE and his colleagues that an army of 138,993 is the total form necessary for the year 1857-8. Of that army however 3,161 cavalry and 27,036 infantry, in all 30,197, are allotted to India, where they form the enite of the military defences of that empire, and are a charge on its (not on our) finances to the extent of about one million sterling. De ducting the Guzzles troops in India from the fall strength of the British army, the number of men of all ranks which Lord PAM/IRE recom mends Parliament to vote and provide for in the year 1837-8 is 126,798, being a decrease on the rc vieed number of 1868-7 of 119,920 men. The real wad= * the* will that number be excessive for lam b sink% mad garrison service in the forth mill yam! Now, in the first place, nearly 9,000 frit su .r the three West India Regiments, and dee Ovilsa mod Gape of Good Hope Rifles, and Mbar mans, saihnial corps. Thus we redoes the Imo* !spotlit sad exclusively British portion of the Amoy gowned for next year to about 118,000 men et all rusks. Let us see bow the force is distri buted. As far as we can make the figures oat, the division is as follows :-1. Cavalry, 8,011; 2. Horse Guards, 1,314 ; 3. Foot Guards, 5,610; 4. Infantry, 78,333 ; 3. Artillery, 18,201 ; 6. Engineers, 3,367 ; 7. Military Train,l,4B9—cost, 60,6441. ; 8. Medical '•off Corps, 542—cest, 18,7321. In this enumeration, Nos. 7 and 8 appear in the Estimates for the first time, the establishment of a Military Train and a Medical Staff Corps being part of the experience taught us by the late war. When thus analysed, the peace establishment of the British Army loses, it most be confessed, a good deal of that imposing appearance which it has when presented in the aggregate. Looked at as a whole, it is, no doubt, larger than oar average force in time of peace. But to judge fairly of the increase, we . . . invt ascertain where it lies: The angmentati consist, first, in the two new corps, end secondly, in the Artillery end Engineers. Canpared with the Estimates of 1848-9, which have been specially referred to, we have an addition ander these four heads of about 7,500 men. If these augmentations be justifiable—and as to them we fancy there can be little doubt or difficulty—the question as to the rest of the force proposed for 1857-8 is vastly simplified. 8,011 Cavalry, to commence with, looks a small and not a large force for a first rate European power to pesink wpssially when it is I mealketed that nearly en et k «Nithe. of purely Oast temps.

Gonads, the Channel Islands, the Cape al And Rope, Ceylon, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, the India Islands, Jamaica, Bahamas, Honduras, Malta, Mauritius, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, St. Helena, and the Windward and Leeward Islands. It is, besides, mused in camps at Aldesahott, Shomeliffe, the Curragh of Kildare, and distributed in local depots at home. Estimated, then, by the varied severe and dis tant duties it is called on to perform, we are free to confess that an Infantry of 78,530 men of all ranks does not appear to be too great. Whether those duties an be ultimately diminished is another ques tion; but any practical diminution in them can, it I. obvious, only be a work of time, which, though it may affect subsequent, can scarcely have any legiti mate influence en the present, Estimates. Although these Estimates are higher as to num bers than the average Estimates of the Army in time of peace, there is more than one year of peace in which the Estimates presented to the House of Com mons have been on a still larger scale. Take, for example, the year 1848-9. The number of men of all ranks then asked for was, for thcArmy, 113,847 ; for the Ordnance Corps, 14,294; in all, 128,141, without any Military Train or Medical Staff Corps, and with Ordnance Corps nearly 6,000 less in strength than those now proposed. Or, if Mr. GLADSTONE prefer to make the comparison with 1833, he will find that in Lord PANNUE.E'S Esti mates the increase in the Cavalry of the line is only 428 men, while there is a decrease in horses of 195; that the augmentation of the Foot Guards is bat 350 ; that in the Infantry of the line there is a de crease of 128 men, and that in the Artillery and En gineers the augmentation is 4,386 men and 2,341 hones. In short, the difference of pay between the two years shows only an excess of half a million against the year 1857-8. As to number, then, it is not easy to see how we an refuse our orient to the force asked for in 1857-8.

BERNE, RttußnAY. The authorities of Neufchatel fear a new attempt on the part of the royalists. Several republican officers have met in council. The militia has been warned to hold itself in readiness in case of an outbreak. It is said that the posts are doubled, and that the gend armerie has been reinforced by the Guides. The Bund publishes an address of the municipal council of Neufchatel to the inhabitants, recounting various precautionary measures, and urgently ap pealing to them to join the bourgeoise-guard and arm themselves for the defence of the public order.

The French government continues with rigid im partiality to seize and confiscate English journals of all shades of politics which contain any fact or opinion concerning politics, morals, religion, litera ture, or art unpleaaing in the eyes of those who wield ministerial authority for the hour. I reported yesterday an extraordinary razzia, comprising news papers which habitually manifest an almost super stitious reverence for imperial institutions. But servility is all impotent to command the gratitude of despotism. The subscribers to the English read ing-rooms are to-day deprived, by authority of Na poleon 111., of the following long list of English papers, all of which it must be presumed contain dangerous matter:—The Atheneum, Examiner, John Ball, Leader, Saturday Review, Horning Advertioer, and Homing Herald. The Prase says in its weekly commercial review: Trade has this week received a piece of news which ie likely to exercise & favourable influence upon business for the spring season. The Dank, at length, decides to take bills with 90 days to run en attendant, the favourable moment for reducing its discount to 6 per cent. This measure does net produce any very meat immediate effect upon merchants' bill books, for during the last live eras months that it has been impossible to negotiate paper at longer date than GO or 7.5 days, people have become used to these hard con ditions, and have regulated their transactions accord ingly. Nothing could more strongly show the so lidity of our conunereial houses than the facility with wbkh they have supported mob • crisis. Failures have been extremely nue ; nevertheless, many houses must have found it very difficult to meet their engagements when dis counts could only be effected at sixty days. tip to the Fr eest time very little activity has been manifested either in the wholesale or retail trade. Tho amount of business dons last week was again altogether insignificant. There is un futnnately no favourable change in the price of raw caste riale and colonial goods. The rise seems likely to continue. This is the greatest obstacle to any real revival of trade. General Berrycr, the brother of the celebrated advocate, and the uncle of M. Arthur Berryer, died last night in Paris. PARIS, Bereansv EVENING. The trial of the directors of the Napoleon Docks is not yet over, and in the total absence of any , stirring news, it is the principal topic of the day. You will have seen from the reports that M. Arthur Berryer, the son of the distinguished advocate of that name, a government commissioner, whose duty it was to watch over the proceedings of the company, is accused of having connived at the frauds with which the directors are charged, and that he now throws upon three ministers the responsibility which the lion seeks to fix upon himself. says that prosecution seeks to fix upon himself. 'He says that M. Persigny, who, when Minister of Commerce, ap pointed him to the post, M. Nfagne, and M. Itouher were all made aware by him that the company, though ostensibly starting with subscriptions for 200,000 shares, had, in fact, only from 85,000 to 88,000 shares subscribed for. If they chose to take no initiative, M. Berner argues that it was not for him, a subaltern, to make a stir about the matter. M. Berryer further states positively that it was known at the Ministry, that beyond his re gular salary of 5,000 f., he hail an extra allowance when he went to England to study the subject of the docks. It might not perhaps be known that the exact amount of what the prosecution calls his " clandestine salary " was 1,230 f., because ministers seldom enter into details, but it was, he affirms, well known that he had something extra for his expenses from the funds of the company. In answer to the latter allegation, M. lleurtier, formerly Director- General in the Department of Agriculture and Com merce, had written to the president of the court to state that M. Berryer undertook to go to England at his own expense, and that the administration would never have tolerated for a single instant the exist ence of any relations of the nature of those revealed at the trial between the government commissioner and the dock company. M. Berryer, on being pressed by the President to answer M. Bent tier's letter, said that the whole truth of this affair would probably never be ascertained; that he " also possessed secrets, and if hard driven, would disclose them." As he persisted in his asser tions, M. Heartier was sent for to-day to be con fronted with him, and a very extraordinary scene took place. M. A. Berryer, who throughout the whole proceedings manifested the greatest sangfroid and confidence in his own position, directly con tradicted the positive statements of the ex-Director- General of the Deportment of Agriculture and Com merce and being asked to explain a letter in which sail—" The intervention of a govern owitosandiniseer in the commercial transactions of s snmpany which he is charged to superintend with r im strietnese would be fraught with serious in annenwience," M. llerryer admitted that the letter IPSO written, but said that it was written officially, swil ger form's sake, and that his counsel, when 1111 elm to the defence, would produce a private nististxrial letter of an opposite tendency. The speeches of counsel commenced late this afternoon, bat it is hardly possible that the trial can be finished to-night.

ROMAN CARNIVAL AND BANDITTI. (mow Oti OWN ItTatE:Fr.n. 21. The carnival revels of Rome continue their pro. Tereus course without let or hindrance. Racing and rollicking go on in the Corso by day, belle and me , quera d es in the palaces and theatres by night, and even religious establishments are wised with a frantic mania (the English College amongst others) for changing grave ecclesiastical student' into Thes pian actors, and making sacred oratorios degenerate into profane operas. But the warning voice of the Cardinal Vicar reminds the Romans of " the return of that saving period during which all sorts of worldly amusement must be banished, and, mortify ing ourselves with vigils and fasting, we must at tend more especially to the sanctification of our souls." His Eminence, in his public manifesto, , di s t t i vi on c a tl l y gra m ii i t: i 7 oi i t i ed on , of bacon goes . on to enlarge ulan the indulgent dis position of the Pope in allotting the use of eggs and milk on Fridays and Saturdays during the ensuing Lent (with the exception of certain days), and lard sauces. The use of meat and fish in the v a :r and the and .in e pe r rm ea i l tt i i s n , permitting keepers of inns, taverns, and eating-houses are ordered to adhere to the Quaresimal rtgulations, " SO that every one may know that we are i n th e cap i ta l of the catholic world." _ ... . . Amongst the cosmopolitan visitors to the Eternal City during this Satnrnalian period, I had the pleasure of meeting a Milanese lady and gentleman at dinner this week, who had just arrived from Lombardy, rid Bologna and Florence. On my inquiry whether any rumour of brigandage still prevailed in the northern pros - ems*, they informed me that they themselves had under. gone convincing proofs of the presence of marauders in those districts, notwithstanding the supposed ex tirpation of the last remaining band, of outlaws. On the 22nd ult., between Nlodena and Bologna, the diligence in which they were travelling was stopped about seven o'clock in the evening, at the distance of only half a mile from Bologna, by seven bandits, whiise first care was to cut the traces and prevent the farther progress of the vehicle. 'flie passengers, half asleep, were aroused by the ery of Abbas.° i forestieri, the doom of the diligence wets opened, and the Milanese lady and her husband, who, with another passenger not of wealthy condition, were the sole inmates, were made to alight, and ordered to give up their money, watches, and ornaments, without delay. These commands being . complied with, their travelling bags were next examined in search of valuables, but the brigands in their haste overlooked a gold bracelet belonging to the lady, nor did they proceed to take down the luggage from the roof of the carriage, amongst which they would have found a case of valuable Geneva watches. The conductor had to sustain their wrathful objurgations on account of being three-quarters of an hour behind his proper time, a delay of which the brigands complained in moat forcible language, as well as of the poverty of the strong box, hinting that they might not be so indulgent another time if things were not more ea reige. I inquired of the young bride whether she had had to endure any rudeness at the hands of her assailants, but she assured me that they were, on the contrary, "gratiosissimi," and even promised to restore her the wedding-ring which she had drawn off her finger injher hung and fright, and had given them, together with her other rings. In the haste of their departure, however, they forgot this delicate attention, and went off unceremoniously. leaving their victims (the lady and her husband lost about three hundred lire) in the unpleasant predica ment of utter darkness., mangled harries., snow upon the ground, and more snow fast falling from the clouds. After an useless application and demand for oxen at a neighbouring cottage, whose inmates were either afraid of the brigands or in league with them, assistance was obtained from some distance, and the conductor and postilion, aided by a country man, with cords soon put the diligence into condi tion to reach Bologna. There a report was made of the affair, and the police set actively to work, and they succeeded in arresting a number of individuals supposed to belong to the hand ; but although the travellers stayed in Bologna five days making their depositions, confronting the brigands (the lady perfectly recognised the individual who received her money and rings), and expecting the restitution of their property, they had to set out fur Florence at last with no other satisfaction than the confirmation of the haeknied proverb that it is "ill getting butter out of a dog's throat."

BRIGANDS IN Trnat:Y.—A letter from Salonica, in the Journal de Constantinople, Mateo that Abmet racks, the governor, had lately visited the different districts of the province, and adopted eeveral ittet.ures for the suppression of sigtindage. A hand of rollers hosing been fallen in with by 1 the troops rent in runeh of them, were first called on to sar i render, lout having replied to the summons by musket shots. the fire was returned, and f o ur of than killed, and five made prisoners. This expedition has had tie effect of clearing the country of the brigands by whom it had been infested.
