PI. 2 Aftsysooa, 106 10.. Teatomaaw—iiofsise, 101. Stia—Attermeos, 111. 15a. V LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 13. IT is sometimes prudent and useful to allow the warmth of friendly sod uninformed raise to exhaust itself before attempting to redoes to their natural and proper size the object of its exaggerations. This has seemed to us the wisest mune to pursue in reference to Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT'S late 'pouch on Military Education and Ratormatios--enbjects in which we have taken a deep interest, and= which we cannot I be supposed materially to differ from that gentleman. wing that very much of what he has suggested has already appeared in this journaL Bat the truth is, that Mr. SIDNIT HULBERT, like his great political patron and his brother Peelites, is remark ably food of interposing at the last hour, when the crop is ripe, and of reaping, with small labour and great credit, the harvest which other more indus trious and persevering people have sown and watered and tendered and reared, occasionally in spite of his hostility and resistance, and thereupon of assuming the airs not only of a great statesman but a great reformer. Now, Mr. SIDNEY HUBERT has really very little of either in his composition ; be is simply a smart, quick, cunning, teachable, fluent man of fashion, with a turn for politics and a love of power, who, skilfully but mischievously eon bining with some half•dozen lapsed and fallen Tories, occupies with them a position of armed neutrality in the House of Commons exceedingly dangerous to the progress of liberal opinions, and like a faded beauty is falling into confirmed and somewhat ridiculous habits of flirtation with the Court and Prime Minister. The bent of praise ever, we have now a word or two to say on this speech ; not, Indeed, on the points in which Mr. HERNERT has already received inspiration from us, or on the suggestion as to what is in mares of preparation in the War Department, which, picking up from his friends, he has converted into his own " thunder," with as mach coolness as a year ago an Irish Bishop plundered an English episcopal Charge. We desire rather to show how unfaithful and un generous a reformer Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT is on these occasions of self-sought prominence and tied- Coos originality. Mr. Iflanrafe offence, are, no doubt, both of commission and omission; but the latter shall have preference just sow. Military reformation differs from political reform in this, that, though it is possible to make long speeches on the subject, it is impossible to ',duos the matter into either a bill or a single measure, and by thus pro daciog it en bloc, to make a great public sensation. The subject Low of silent, gradual, unostentatious, but not the less effective improvement in elaborate sad sometimes perverse details. AU men are, how ever, agreed on the main features of the case; as, for instance, that our army must no longer be mat tered in small bodies, or its of wasted far polies purposes—that it most be massed and brigaded —that education most be revised in afficers--that a scheme of staff appointments mast be established— and that the Horse Guards must be kept in subordi nation to the BECTISTART of STATE for WA*. But to judge of the ease front Mr. SIDNEY Meagan's speech, it might really be supposed that he was pro pounding these leading principles for adoption, in stead of repeating maxims which have already been adopted, and some of them far advanced in execution. Hu nothing been done to mug or brigade the army ? Certainly there has. Aldershott, the Cerragh of Kildare, and Shorscliffe, what are they bat camps wherein to form corps crormes of instruction u soon as we have an army at home to instruct P Has not Canada already provided itself with an admirable militia force; so that her Malan'. troops now re turning thither are to be concentrated in the great Canadian garrisons, and there be trained in foreign service ? And so in Australia and New Zealand; there, too, local bodies are either railed, or being raised, with that as well as other objects. And has the Police Bill now before Parliament (to which Mr. firmisr HiIBUIT has given no special attention that we know of) no bearing on this impor tant military question P Why, only insist en the aunties and boroughs having an efacieut police force of their own, and then you can safely maw your own troops, then you can soonomise your barrack arrangements, then you can form deers of instruction on such a scale as would admit of the em ployment of captains charged with that special duty ; then you can bars a small army with time enough to become perfectly formed, and officers in localities when the spirit of professional improvement dwell. All this is being done, although it did not suit Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT ID nil it. Bat Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT is said to have bit the right nail on the bead in talking magnilogoently about the necessity of having educated officers. Well, , what has been done in that respect in the last twelve 'soothe? To give men the praise that is fairly doe to them, the first thing Lord PANNUILE did on amounting charge of the Ordained' Department, was to dean& himself of all its military patronage; and at the present mown' tbv political government of this country has so more power to get a boy into the Artillery or Engineers than has the corporation of Wilton, a borough of which Mr. SIDNEY HEEIZILT continues, notwithstanding his new lights on poli ties, to influence the representatioo. Competition is now the only acme to tboae services; competition, too, so open that the lowest school in Whitechspel is on a level, as far as any preference apart from merit is concerned, with Christ Church, Oxford. The only preliminaries to competition are certlflostse as to the moral character of the candidate, and a small peon sissy deposit am a teat of sincerity. Care and cantWs, moreom r, attend upon ensues in this competition; for all that esteem at first mecum is a provides'sl tom. mission either in the Engineers or the Artillery. The provisional appointment lasts for twelve months, and the NI commission is only given on the most satisfactory reports of conduct, of studies, sad of fitness. This Mr. FIDNET Hzuots could hardly have been ignorant ef; but not a word about it did he tell the Horn of Commode —not a whisper of it have we heard from his admiring friends. "Abolish Carshaltoe iichool,"saggested, with an sir of complacent iogenuousarer, Mr. SIDNEY linuas. Why, Carshalton School has been condemned foe twelve menthe past ; no new boys have been received into it, and aa soon as the education of these who entered before its coodemnatios is completed, the establishment will be broken up sad the plea will be told Mr. BERBLET may not have known this, bat every one ides interested in thequedes on whisk be udertakee to lecture Cabinets and to bulbul the country did knew the feet, and it has been se. pettedly commented on in this and other josrsab. Either, Ulu, Mr. Humus knows very little of what he talks about, or he talks with a very painful want of candour. The troth is that the principle of competition and of prises for high competence runs through the En gineer and Artillery services. Exertion and excel lence in the Engineers are stimulated 17 special ap pointments under the Crown, in yr:2kb civil salary is added to military pay. Yon wVil now And Engi neer officers of eminence and reputation in almost every department of the State, and owing their selec tion to nothing but their high merits. So also in the Artillery, there are, epeeist rewards in the various departments of oor arsenals for merit and distin guished services. Mere, then, we have in aerial Practice in these two services the principle of reward for eminence, about which Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT theorised as • novelty of his own to the House of Commons. No doubt very much remains to be done in a similar direction for the Cavalry and the Line. But there, also, a beginning has been made. The whole 'object of promotion has been referred to a Royal Commie. *ion, of which Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT himself is a member; the War Department is known to have in band a plan for the conversion of Sandhurst into a sort of Polytechnic School, with a view to give offi cer, of the Line a thoroughly good professional educa tion ; with that view a new and most competent governor has been placed at its head, Sir HARRY JONES; the organisation of the army into divisions and brigades will at once enable and compel the Horse Guards to provide a competent staff system; and at Aldershott, the Cornish, and Shornchffe, we shall in future have camps of instruction established and in full pay. All these arrangements, known to everybody else, were unknown, it would seem, to Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, who would really appear to have made a flaming speech on Military Reformation for the purpose of taking, in the course of an hour or two, that credit to himself which others have dearly earned by lengthened and devoted application to this most important question. VOTE Or CREDIT POE THE LATE WAlL—This morning was issued an estimate of the sum required to be voted towards defraying the expenses beyond the ordinary grants for the years 1863.8 and 1868-7, for military and naval services occasioned by the late war.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MONSTRANCE; OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE WITH THE KING OF NAPLES. A letter from Paris to .the Augsburg Gault* con tains the following : I am is a ineasar; able to inform you of Mae antbentio contents of this note addreesad by France and England to the Neapolitan gnveronment. This awe his for its °tient to priced on the King of Naplasto plea WIWI licit on the af bitrory character of his - - - of rad juities since the events of 1848; in a word, the niorma reeos mended by the western cabinets are solely those connected with judicial matters. These cabinets declare that their diplomatic intervention on this point is prompted by the necessity of prelening the tranquility of Europe, menaced by the fermentation which exists in the kingdom of Naples, and spreads over the whole peninsula. Although this note has not the character of as ultimatum, yet it dearly implied that in the event of no attention being paid to the consuls of the Western Powers, the l►tter may be prompted to recall their ministers, and to replace them by charges d'affsires. Whet leads to the hope that this step will prove stareesiful is the feet that Austria approves of the measures ad , red by the Western Powers. It was is consequence of the near relationsh;p existing between the two courts that the Austrian eabioet did not present an identieal note to that of France and England, although it approved of the principle which theirs advocated. The Austrian minister at Naples bee received orders to urge strongly the teas sen timents of the court of Vienna without concealment; end to add that hitherto Austria hes not adopted an attitude of friendly intervention to lessen the complications between the court of Naples and the Western Powers; but that, if the Neapolitan government does not facilitate the neutral position of Austria by wise ectoessions, the latter will be comptlled to pieta herself oa the aide of the Allies. AUSTRIA. The German Jammu of Frankfort contains the following:—" It is affirmed that several members of the most distinguished families of Bohemia are en deavouring to come to an understanding on an ad-, dress to be presented to the Emperor. It is in tended to demand the re-establishment of the States of the Kingdom, with various modifications, in con formity with the spirit of the age, and of a nature to give to the country a more genuine representation than that offend by the purely consultative assem blies which it is proposed to establish in the various provinoes of the Austrian empire." VIENNA, WIDNISDLT, Itnra 11. At the Breslau wool fair prices were well sus. tuned. There were 41,000 quintals in the market, of which three-fourths were sold at about ten thalers the quintal higher than last year. Towards the end of the fair the market was dull. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The:Correepondance Atarichienne lately announced, in a manner almost official, that the Austrian occupa tion of the Principalities would not cease until the Russians, English, and French, should have altogether withdrawn from the Ottoman territory, and until all the measures relative to the reorganisation of the Danubian provinces should have received their entire execution. The Paris says that this announcement evidently goes too far. Advice. from Vienna show that the assertions of the Austrian journal must not be accepted in a too absolute sense, and that the Austrian troops are only waiting for the settlement of the Bessarabian frontier to evacuate. The labours of the oommisaioners are, as it now ap pears quite certain, suspended, in consequence of the protest of M. Fonton, the Russian Minister, against Prince Btourdza as a member. If certain letters from Constanticople are to be credited, the Purte is disposed to retaliate upon Russia by objecting to the Rogan Commissioners. The geometric yore are, how ever, at work, and it is affirmed to be already cer tain that the part of Bessarabia to be ceded by Rules will comprise not less than 260 villages, in cluding the German colonies. The Press. d 'Orient says that M. de Polignao, captain of artillery, who wee orderly officer to Mar shal Pelissier in the Crimea, has been attached to the Bessarabian commission in the character of mili- Want.

GOOD FAITH TO THE Cl A letter from Braises of May 28th, says:— " I ►ave to inform you of an incident which has made a great sensation in the city, and which shows the loyalty with which oar worthy governor carries out the hatti-humayoun. A Turk having presented an arzulial to the governor, with the view of compelling a debtor (either an Armenian or a Greek) to pay some money due, designated him an a Giaour. , The governor publicly ordered the obnoxious word to be effaced, and that the expression oar Christian brother' should be substituted for it. Yon may well imagine what a favourable impression this news made upon the Christian population." BERLIN, Joss 12._ The Emperor Alexander hu arrived at Riga. The population of the town and the surrounding country were assembled, and received his Majesty with ca• thusium.

The French Minister of Finance has issued a cir cular, in which he states that, although subscriptions to the Inundation Relief Fond may be paid in through the receivers of the revenue, it is not the intention of government that this channel for transmitting them should be adopted to the exclusion of others which the subscribers might prefer; on the contrary, it will be desirable to spare the officers of the revenue department that responsibility as much as possible. The formation of lists of the contributors' names will not imply that all who contribute must consent to make their names known; they may, if they please, be entered u "anonymous," and the different societies or companies, which send in subscriptions collected by them, will at their own discretion either give the names of the subscribers individually, or set down the total in a lamp. The subscription lists will ultimately be published is the Afinsiteur, on the authority of the Minister of France and the Minister of State. The circular, which is addressed to the receivers of revenue, concludes by expressing the minister's confident reliance upon their willing aid in promo.ing, by all the means in their power, those benevolent efforts which cannot fail to be occasioned by circumstances so grave as the present, and by calamities so worthy of universal compassion. The Afossiteur has the following His Imperial Majesty the Sultan has caused to be remitted to the Minister of the French empire for Foreign Affairs, through his excellency the Turkish ambassador, the sum of 40,000 francs for the population of those districts in France which have suffered from the inundations. The Turkish ambassador and the Saltaa's subjects residing at Paris have added to it the sum of 3,502 francs." LATEST NEWS FROM THE INUNDATED DISTRICTS.

The Journal du Lacret, after describieg the awful ravages of the inundations at Janine, in that department, says " But what is even worse than the aspect of the town, is that of the adjacent country. All the lands, which were worth 30fr. the perch, are ruined. An immense t sten t is covered with a thick layer of said, a sort of vast shroud, beneath which are interred tich and magnificint crops.

The following circular has been addressed by trio Minister of Vier in Frames to the generals in c Imm:id of the dif ferent military divisions " Paris, June 9. "General,—At the news of tho disasters caused by the inendltions, snbecriptions were opened in the assistance of the sufferers. It is proper that eoloiers of .111 ranks who may wish to unite in ihi; generous movement should have every facility given tnem for so doing, but without any cote pulaon being exercised, or any superior authority interfer ing to increase the amount of the subscriptions. It is par ticularly important that the soldier, whose resources are so restricted, should not consider himself com pelled to impose privations on himself. I beg you to Wren recommendstioos to this effect to the commanding officers of regiments, and th. y will take such Measure, so they may think pro?er for c Alecting the offerings, which will be paid into the hands of the agents of the c.vil administration ch trged in each locality to cen tralise the subscriptions..—Accept, &c., " VAILLANT." A eirculer of the rime purport ha been addrea.ed by the Minister of Marine to the maritime prefects at the different peril ; and Marshal Pvliseier has signified his intention to open a subscription among the army of the East. The Risorgitnento of Turin announces that sob icriptions have been opened in every pot tl Piedmont for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in France. SAXONY. DISTINGUISHED RUSSIAN VISITORS. DRESDEN, 'vac S. Prince Dortchakoff, the raw ltuesiau Minister for Foreign Affairs, dined yesterday at the royal table at PiHeitz, on the Elbe, where the Saxon court are residing for the summer, and left Dresden this after noon by the mail train for Vienna. The venerable Areb-Chancellor of the Empire, Count Nesselrode, bee also left Dresden, and is goue to Kissinger, ac companied by his son-in-law, Baron von Setback, the Saxon Minister at the French court.

SWEDEN. YOUNG SCANDINAVIA. (Mon OUR OWN CONNZATONDENT.) STOCKHOLM, srxre 5. It is not unusual for the students of the Scandina vian universities to pay each other every two or three years international visits in corpore, which has the salutary effect of permitting the young men to become practically acquainted with the syrem and regula tions of the different universities of the north of Europe, besides Kirin them an opportunity of making personal acquaintancca, which frequently are conticued by correspondence, and often ripen into friendships for life. Such an international visit takes place this year from Denmark and Norway to the two Swedish universities of Stockholm and Urals; and preparations for the receoion of the visitors are now being made, as they are expected to arrive in the course of next week. The number of Danish students who take part in this fraternisa tion is 228, and 233 from the Norwegian universities. There are also 130 coming from Lund. To afford due accommodation tor these young men, whose purses generally speaking are not very heavy, benevolent families volunteer to take in one, two, or more, ace. cording to their means and circumstances, and rebook is kept for that purpuee at one of our libraries. The King of Sweden has just put down his name for defraying the expenses of 25, and has designated the hotels where they are to be quartered. Within the last few years three international visits of students were held at Upsets, 1843 ; Lund,lB4s ; Copenhagen, 1851 •, and Christiania, 1852. On the present occasion the King of Denmark has placed a covernment steamer at the diepoeal of the utuden'a of Copenhagen for the purpose of conveying them to this city. Stren.ku states that Byron Lagerheitn, hitherto Swedish minister at the court of Denmark, who has been lately recalled, is to be uffert r ci a Feat in the cabinet, and will be succeeded in the embassy at Copenhagen by Baron Wetterstedt, hitherto Secre tary of Legation. Accounts from Christiania represent the reception of the Crown Prince) in that city in his new capacity of Viceroy of Norway, es most enthusiastic and brit.. tient, and his arrival had been ce . ebrated by greet rejoicings and numerous festivals, balls, illuminations, and other gaieties. From Ate, we learn that the electric telegraph had been completed, and opened tor public use on the j Ist June. PERKINS' STEAM GUN.—On Tureday cxperimente were made in the presence of the committee of the Ordnacce Department, at the Celedonian.rJad station of the North Loudon Railway, with the *teem-gun of Mr. Petkins, whch hes been frequently dereribed, and ie f.milisr to the visitors of the Polytschnte Institution. The result proved the power of working steam at the very high pressure of 1,4001b5. to the square inch. which pressure is alleged by those who recommend the .tram-gun for military use to be sore effective for the discharge of hail. than gunpowder.
