THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1857. ing machinery and armaments, that this ex cess of two millions will only aviment the strength of the Army in 1867-8, ,se sma rm& with 1863-4, by 7,000 man. A great pert of the difference between these years is the cense "me. of that ries in the value of everything whisk migrants the expenditure ye diminishes the som samption (as the care may be) of every man. But as the value of commodities falls, as other powers re duce their establishments, se the police of this country and of the colonies becomes better developed, so in future yeah will the Government be able to re sent Estimate* still further reduced to the Rime of Commons. The acceptance, therefore, of these mdse. floes as sufficient for the year 1837-8, does nee bivalve acceptance of them ea a standard for our reseal military establishments is time of peace. The por emit estimates are rather to be regiuded ass passe maximum, upon which further diminutions ere bur► after to be made. Nothing, of eourre, could be more desirable than a return to the letter of the Income Tax of 1863. But if by retaining a sevenpenny rate, instead of dessewd ing to a ilvepenny rate, we can better seems dr earn pieta abolition of that tax in 18430, the intermediate burthen will be cheaply bonie. This is the point in whiehtheßudget failainexplicitness. Mr. CILLDBTONE on the first night of the. session insisted that good faith should be kept as to the Act of 1863. Sir Cortlawati. Lawn, however, refuses to regard its stipulations as immediately binding on him. Comm quently, it remains for Mr. GLADSTONE to &M. now that there is a reduction in the Army and Navy Estimates of four millions sterling more than he anticipated an the first night of the session, how it is peedble, after two years of war, after an addi tion of forty millions to the funded and unfunded debt of the country, after an addition of one million roar hunshedthousand a year to thecharge for interest, after the addition of ; million and a half for a sinking fend, and an increase of two millions ster ling on military establishments, and of half a million in the Miscellaneous Estimates of 1867-8--how it is postale to secure the tag extinction of the Income Tax in 1860. Notwithstanding the dropping in of the Terminable Annuities in that year, we confess we see no other way of arriving at that desirable goal than the practice of very rigid economy, and it is oonsequeutly with regret that we see a further increase intended this year in the civil expenditure of the country. Although it has no doubt its objectionable side, the readjustment and slight increase on the peace rates of the sugar and tea duties is to be regarded in another point of view as some additional security for the repeal of the Income Tax in 1860; and if it be trim that, in consequence of deficient supplies of those articles, a reduction fol lowing &return to the old peace rates of taxation would not p into the pocket of the consumer, the proposition loses much of its objectionable character—especially as some relief is given to the operative climes who contribute to the Income Tax by lowering the rate they pay. But the principle of not returning to low duties on tea and sugar is bad in itself, and the higher rates proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER extend, it is to be ober ed, over a period within which we shall, it is to be hoped, have abundant supplies of theme necemaries of life. The suspicion, therefore, must aria) that Sir CORNEWALL Lewis, in this readjustment, is cunningly availing himself of temporary and exceptional circumstances in order permanently to alter a settlement of theme duties deliberately made. In keeping the tax on British spirits up to the highest revenue rate con sistent with avoiding all encouragement to illicit distillation, every seeable and disinterested person will approve the course proposed by the CHAR au.un of the Fsensuren. As a whole, the Budget will probably be approved of. It exhibits a large reduction in expenditure ; it marks a commencesoent of further economy ; it gets rid of the mat objectionable of the war tails ; and though it manipulates two of the others rather mysteriously and dangerously, there is something to be said in defence of temporarily smiting the fall in the tea and sugar duties. The Budget, however, does mere than this—it makes provision for the dis charge of the Ant set of Exchequer Bonds falling due, it keeps faith as to the Sinking Fund, and commences the repayment of the war loans in Console; and thus commences a reduction of the funded and unfunded debt incurred during the war. In this manner it places the Treasury in an easy position, by leaving it an unappropriated surplus for the year 1857-8 of 890,000/. If, therefore, the House of Commons shall grant to the Crown the estimates submitted by Sir Comte- WALL LEWIS and shall provide an incalito of 86,474,0004 we base this esusalatien at hest, that, notwithsinading the Immensity et that draught on the rumen of the country, its condition h one of sabetwatiel, though not of universal, prosperity.

It was proved that M. Pour slam, so far front having an interest in spreading the rumour, was a shareholder in the Caisee, and he and his clerk having heard the rumour had merely gone about the Bourse inquiring whether it was true. The court held that the offence of propagating false news was not sufficiently established. BAttJaDAT E.VINI)10, The Itedependance says that T the opening of the Conferences on the Neufchatel question is fixed for March I, but I am assured to-day that the matter is not so far advanced. It appears to be confirmed that the Swiss envoy was either deceived by the French government or misunderstood what was told him when he went away from Paris with the notion that France was prepared absolutely to guarantee the renunciation of Neufchatel by Prusaia. The Swiss Confederation was induced to release the prisoners by representations which it is now painfully believed at Berne were not altogether war ranted. However, it is little doubted that the Emperor's speech on Monday will contain a pa about Neufchatel which will betoken a favourable solution. The Peoria do Pas de Calais raises a point of law upon the subject of " warnings," which has escaped all the Pans journals. It has hitherto been taken for granted, that after two warnings suspen sion would follow as a matter of course on the com mission of a third offence. The Progres, however, contends that although the minister may suspend a journal under those circumstances, there is nothing in the text of the law to prevent him from giving as many warnings as he pleases. The harshness and uncertainty of the laws against the prey provoke more attention just now than they have ever done since their enactment. At the opening of the Bourse there was a ten dency to realise profits after the rise of the last two days. Many speculators, having no confidence in the upward movement, are content with a turn of a few centimes. Several transactions in premiums took place, under the idea that the Emperor's speech will produce a decided effect one way or the other on Moods ,y The tone of the market unproved a little tswatda the end, and after some not very considerable instistka the Rente closed with a rue of 10c. for anal, sad a fall of 10e. for account, at 68.50 and 68.55. Mobilier fell 12.50. The rail ways were calm, and generally lower. Or leans, Northern, Western, and Lyons fell 10f. each, and Orand Central and St. Riunbert sf. each. The Eastern new shares, however, rose I 12.50, and Mediterranean was rather firm. Tie Victor Emmanuel shares, which for a long time poet have been neglected, and quoted from 597 to 1101kten account of the rumour of a call, were much *deed for to-day, and could with difficulty be got at tress 600 to 605. It was announced that a general meeting will be convoked for the beginning of next month, to consider a treaty for the purchase of the Normal line and extensions. It is also said that the cm& tions of the treaty with the Sardinian goverment for making a tunnel through Mount Cetus at theme& of the state are very favourable to the company. It is a curious fact that during the month of January the amount paid for stamps by the agens de change was 100,000 f. less than the average before the exaction of payment for en tering the Bourse, while the amount received at the turnstiles came to considerably less thaa that ram. So that the Treasury loses mina than the city gains by the new system. M. If anniasam, who was a strenuous advocate for the ass means of raising money, is considered to outwitted the government. If we may give tin government of the Tuileries credit for a sincere do care to check the universal spirit of gramblV= Bourse, it could hardly have taken • more measure for the purpose than this levy of an admis sion fee. I know numbers of private individuate, possessing considerable fortune, who for years have ban in the habit of going to the Bourse every day, and who have never set their foot there siseedmary Ist They thought nothing of making as 111111ftiala by which they naked the Ices et may rank bet they shrink from the certain aandfiee of a Item to enter the theatre of operations. The hell-imague at the German spas know better than to tax the right of approaching the green baize. Facilis deseteteus is their motto, and many a man seduced by the gratis enjoyment of handsome rooms, good fires, and news papers leaves behind him gold which would have remained in his pocket had even coppers been charged for admission. It is very likely that the thinning of the Bourse resulting from the toll will produce effects which may greatly disappoint the promoters of the new rule. It woe probably hoped that while a great deal of small fry would be excluded, the bigger speculators would find as much scope as ever for their operations ; but some of these are now learning that without plenty of way on a I easel no rapid evolutions can be accomplished. The know ing ooes cannot get on without a good proportion of flats ; and taken in the general, the result of the exclusion of the pigeons has simply been to dimi nish the food of the rooks. Henceforth it will not be so easy as it was to keep fictitious values afloat, nor to provoke violent oscillations by . spreading false reports. This, in a public point of view, would be a consummation much to be rejoiced at ; b ut is it what was intended? UNITED STATES. The death of the Hon. Preston Brooks, the as sailant of Mr. Sumner, was announced to the House of Representatives by Mr.Keitt, who bestowed much eulogy on the public and private character of Mr. Brooks, and on his exploits in the Mexican .s'er • and said that " in his bearing the deceased was frank and honest, in dispute severe, and in friendship deli cious." Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, added that Mr. Brooks was " a man of a most kind heart and tender sensibilities ;" and "if those elements, which are among the highest characteristics of true manhood, ever led him to acts which our judgments would de cide to be wrong, let us remember that to err is hu man, to forgive divine." Another member, Mr. Sa vage, thus expressed himself : History records but one Themiopylie, but there ought to have been another, and that for Preston 8. Brooks. Brutus Nabbed Crew in the Capitol, and, whatever may be thought of the justice and wisdom of the deed, the world bas ever eines approved and applauded the act. So shall the scene la the senate chamber carry the name of the deceased to all future generations, long to be remembered after all bete are forgotten, and when three proud walls shall have ennobled into ruins. Had Preston S. Brooks been permitted to choose his own death, he would have Urn in some great battle fur public freedom. After some more speechmaking in this strain, the corpse was brought into the house, and in the pre sence of the members of both branches of Congress, the President and cabinet, the judges of the Supreme Court, Mr. Buchanan and others, the Rev. Mr.' Waldo, chaplain of the house, delivered a brief dis course (makuif no allusion to the deceased) from the words of our Saviour to the thief on the cross, " This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Resolutions were passed condoling with the family of Mr. Brooks, and determining the members of the house should wear crape on the left arm for thirty dap. . The Hon.

(THIS DAY.) SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. CIT 1117111 AND Ogee ova OWN COMISPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY APTTANOON. This day the Somion of the Legislative Corps was opened by the Emperor in person. After some general remarks, the Emperor said that the conflict between the King of Prussia and the Confederation, having lost all belligerent *teeter, it might be hoped would soon inlet) a favourable solution. That the agree :int between the Three Powers rendered the continued occupation of Greece unnecessary. That the unfortunate differences with Na- Ilya had their origin in the desire enter tained by England and France to promote lie interests of humanity and civilisation. The Emperor then enlarged on the commercial activity of the country, and the nature of credit, which, while producing marvellous results, maned, he said, by an increase of speculation too fre gently individual loss. Thence arose the necessity of watching its progress, stimulating some, mode rating others, and of enlightening and direct ing the public mind. In regard to the Budget, his Majesty said that the cost of the war would be entirely defrayed by past loans, and that no additional loan would be required for the cur rent expenditure. After announcing five mil lions proposed to be allotted for the increase of small afield salaries, he said that from Jan. I, 1838, the war tax imposed on the " Droits denregistrensent" now producing 23 millions, would be abolished, and the deficiency met by a tax on personal property. The Cayenne criminal establishment is to be trans ferred to Algeria, for sanitary reasons. Ilia Majesty concluded by saying, " I ace for our country a future full of hope. France, without injuring the rights of any one, has taken in the world that rank which belongs to her; and can safely devote herself to everything which is conformable to the genius of peace. May God never cease to protect France, and very soon may we be able to say of our epoch that which an illustrious statesman of our country has written of the Consulate, " La satisfaction etoit parked ; et quiconve n'arait pas dans k caw lea mauvaises potations, etoit Aeureux du bonheur publique." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now ova owx PARIS, Sr EMIT EVENING. The following article is published in to-day's Moniteur : "rams, Fie. 14. " The decree of February 17, 1832, which ordains that two judicial condemnations against a periodical newspaper shall entail its suppression, adds that the offences or contraventions of law must have been committed within the space of two years. Some journals have just raised the question of whether the latter regulation might not be made applicable by analogy to the two official warnings, in virtue of which suspension for two months at most may be pronounced by a ministerial decree. This analogous interpretation is not warranted by the law, and can not be admitted in principle. Differing from sup pression, an extreme measure, which a second con demnation within the period of time indicated legitimately entails, the temporary suspension is only facultative. Even after two warnings, if the facts do not require a more severe decision, a fresh warning may still be given, and the government, which uses with great moderation the powers con ferred on it with respect to the prem, in the interest of order and public tranquillity, always takes into its most serious consideration the date as well as the gravity of the facts which occasioned the previous warnings."

Stasis. lea Women, a Polish exile, long resident in this country, and well known in literary and political circles, took place at Highgate Cemetery, a great number of refugees following the hearse from the residence in procession, and assembling round the grave. An address was delivered in the presence of 400 or 500 persons by M. Ledru Rollin, his auditors including M. Menial and various eminent refuges from Italy, Germany, Poland, and France. M. Rollin, in the course of his address, said .—" The life of Stanislaa Worrell was" indeed, so simple, so prudent, 90 modest, so utterly devoid of all ostentation—in a word, so truly republican—that I, who have known him twenty years.
