Accoanixoto letters lately transmitted from India Sir CIiiRLFS TREVELYAN hall made certain recom- mendations to the India Office for changes in the sys tem of selecting civil servants by competition. Leaving it as unrestricted as at present, he proposes to limit the age for passing the first examination to between 18 and 21, and to send the successful cam . petiton either to Oxford or to Cambridge for two years, but without any allowance for their ex penses. He proposes that during these two years each civilian shall study the two vernaculars of the Presidency to which he is appointed instead of studying them in India, and that the young civilians immediately on arrival shall be sent to their stations in the interior, detaining only ........ the beat to begin work in the offices at Calcutta. There can be no doubt that it would be a great public benefit if the civilians could delay their departure from this country for two years. Their character would be strengthened, and their educa tion would be more complete. Considering the isolation of the future life, and the serious . . responsibility cast upon the Indian civilians, it is almost impossible that they should possess too much knowledge, or too much the habit of patient reflection. Nor do we underrate the benefit of living in the society of Oxford and Cambridge undergraduates. But the manner in which Sir CiLtaLas TILZVXLYAN hopes to accomplish this object is simply imprac ticable. It was but the other day that we took occasion to make ,some remarks upon the list of successful can didates at the last competitive examination for the Indian appointments. That list clearly showed that the prime were not sufficiently attractive to induce the beet men to leave the English Universities or even the public schools. The truth is that there is so much open competition in these days; there are so many careers open to young men—the Public Schools, the Cuiversities, the Artillery, and the Engineers—without considering the mercantile world, that India presents fewer attractions than it presented in times past. It is true that no service secures a comfortable independence in a shorter period of time. But the hardships and inconveniences of life in India are so considerable that most men are content to struggle on at home rather than endure the lonely luxury of the East. These notorious facts ought to be known to Sir C. MINELYAN as well as to others. At all events, the most cursory perusal of the lists annually published by the Civil Service Commissioners, ought to convince him that the Indian Civil Service does not possess overwhelming attractions, and that any material diminution of the ad- vantages at present attached to it would probably lead to a serious diminution of the number of candidates. Under such circumstances the proposal of Sir C. THETELYAN certainly does appear somewhat ill-considered. Every successful candidate is to go for two years to Oxford or Cambridge at kis own expense. Had his proposal been that the pay should begin at once, and that the expenses of the successful candidate should be defrayed by the Go vernment, there would be some reason in it. But these candidates, be it observed, have most of them been educated at the expense of their relatives until they compete for Indian appointments. Those of their coutemporarieswho have had the ability and the pecuniary means to go to the Universities are probably already in residence. Many of them have obtained scholarships, and will in all pro- bability obtain fellowships. Their career in life is practically secured. On the other hand, many of those who enter their names for the Indian com petition would certainly have followed the exam ples of those who are gone to the Universities. But they were too poor. Those who know the cost of being educated at a Scotch or an Irish uni versity, or even at some private schools, will un derstand that in many cases it is utterly impos sible for parents to send their sons to the English Universities for two years ; and to insist that every successful competitor should go for two years to Oxford or Cambridge at their own expense, would simply be to exclude the ablest and the poorest of the Indiah candidates. This would be not only cruel but unjust. But further it would be injurious to the public service. If, even at the present moment, only the second-rate men are obtained from the English Universities, what would be the consequence of excluding the best lads from other places of education t The public service would be deprived of some of the ablest young men who are willing to enter it , whilst the number of University candidates would not be increased by a single name. It is difficult to appreciate the principle upon which Sir C. Twin:este rests his new proposal. He says, indeed, that "the object of his plan is " to secure gentlemen by letting wealth have its " fair influence, for poor men will not study " for two years at the Universities at their " own cost." According to the literal inter pretation of this language, his object seems to be to exdude poor men from the Indian Civil Service. There is certainly no branch of any existing public service either at home or abroad from which all persons are excluded unless their relations can afford to send them to an English University for two years. Nor does it appear that the Indian Service should be the only exception. But, further, Sir C. TRZVILTAN desires to secure by means of an University training that " gentle manliness" and knowledge of the world, that esprit de coops, and that physical energy which are said to be wanting in the majority of the young civilians. If Sir C. TRETE:LT.I.N had himself been at an English University he would have known that the virtue of " gentlemanliness" is net always instilled into University men, and that it is a flower which may be plucked in other fields than those by the Isis and the Cam. The rulers of India must be able and honourable men, and they must practi cally be selected from the civilians. But the vigour and independence of the men who win their way in an open competition furnish evidence enough that they will prove useful public servants, without compelling them to spend two years at 111111. EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1863 . LATEST INTELLIGENCE. RIPRESS FROM. PARIS. PRUSSIA. --- THE NEW PAMPHLET. (now ous own oosassroirusnr3 A. Baden letter in the Courier da Bow/lion, after mentioning the departure of the King of Prussia for Berlin on Monday last, says : Count de Bismark moompanied the King, and must have been pleased to depart, for he had an uncomfortable place of it here, his countrymen, who scarcely saluted the King, peering him without the slightest notice. On the 28th August the King went to inspect the federal fortress of Bas ilic% sad reviewed the garrison ; the inhabitants mareely rain& a cry in his honour. But if the King of Prussia is becoming more and more unpopular, the Grand Doke of Baden is every day gaining iu consideration, and will re ceive a most triumphant greeting on his return here. Be acted at Frankfort with great prudence, going there to show hie good-will, but declining to pledge himself to any definite course of aoudad.. PARIS, TIMIDLY EVININO. I have hurriedly run my eye over the proof sheets of a pamphlet to appear to-morrow at Dentu'a, entitled " France, Mexico, and the Con federate States." The usual means have been re sorted to by the publisher for inducing a belief in the public mind that this opuscle is officially in spired. Whether this be so or not—and adhering to the opinion I had occasion to express sometime ago that the pamphlet dodge has been very much overdone—l find in this production such a perfect harmony with the known leanings of the French Emperor that I think it worth while to make some quotations from it. The general scope of the argu ment is that Mexico, if governed under French influence, will be of infinite use to France, and that the expected benefits are only to be obtained by the recognition of, and sub sequent alliance with, the Confederate States of America. If Mr. Slidell, the Southern envoy, who has lately had repeated in terviews with M. Dronyn de Lhuys, following upon audiences with the Emperor himself, had received a carte blanche to publish a pamphlet in Paris, he could not have written more favourably , to the Southern cause or apologised more ing eni- I ously for the institution of slavery than does this pamphlet. I do not think, however, that Mr. Slidell, or any American, even though a Southern, would have readily coincided in the overthrow of the Monroe doctrine and the preachment about the Latin race and the benefits of French influence in Mexico which this pamphlet contains. But on the principle that necessity makes us acquainted with strange bedfelldwa I think it quite possible, nay, likely, that Mr. Slidell or some of his clique may have contributed to the Confederate para graphs of this pamphlet, while accepting by way of compromise the French views on Mexico. The pamphlet, in an early page, admits with as much candour as perfect truth, that the Mexican expedi tion in its present condition was the personal work of Napoleon 111. alone. While, in the eyes of "everybody else" (meaning the ministers, the par liament., the public—everybody who ought to have a voice in committing a nation to a serious and costly enterprise), the war in Mexico was a simple military question, the Emperor alone had settled in hie own mind "the bases of an entirely now policy." In support of this view, differing entirely from M. Billault's vehement asseverations in the Senate and Corps Legislatif, and fastening upon the Emperor an amount of personal responsi bility which may one day be found burdensome, the pamphlet quotes the following extract from the imperial instructions to General Forey : In the present state of civilisation the prceperity of America is not indifferent to Europe ; for it is America which feeds our manufactures and commerce. We are in terested in seeing the United States powerful and pros perous ; but it is not for our interest that she should get possession of the entire gulf of liewitio, and from that basis of operations domineer over the Antallsa and the South, and booms the mole dispensator of the products of tits New World. France, therefore, it is argued, is bound to oppose Aooording to the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, thirty millions of francs are to be expended iu the im provement of the Prussian fortresses, particularly three on the frontiers. the absorption of the South by Northern America. She has also a duty to support the " Latin races" on the western continent. An " immense French commercial army" is to follow that of Marshal Foray, and " the recognition of the South will be the consequence of the intervention." We are fur ther informed that what Napoleon 111. wills he wills steadily and patiently, and that he will "see his will accomplished." Another section of the pamphlet enlarges upon the fine climate of Mexico (except just in a strip of unhealthy coast land), upon its rich productions, its corn, unequalled in other hot countries, its " pre cious" timber, its fine dyes, and, above all, its tempt ing mines. Hitherto it is admitted that the only paying mince are in English hands ; but the mining field is represented to be unlimited, and "what the English have done we can do." A doctrine highly congenial to the empire of universal suffrage is then laid down—namely, that in Mexico all the anar chists belong to the higher orders of society. The plebs—i.e., the people who have no education, no property, no influence, and who must necessarily submit to the powers that be—are all lovers of order ; but rich people, general officers, and even aides-de-camp of presidents, are mostly brigands. This is the charmingly convenient doctrine in virtue of which Bonapartism pretends, in the name of virtue, order, religion, and pro perty, to gag everybody who has a voice, and to speak on behalf of the multitudes of hewers of wood and drawers of water, who have none. Emi gration to Mexico on a large scale, under French protection, is recommended. The pamphlet is care ful to say, and I have no doubt upon good grounds, that whether the Archduke Maximilian accepts the throne or not, emigrants may be quite sure that "French influence will prevail." That I take to be a settled thing, and 'attach not the slightest im portance to rumours which I have heard within the last day or two, that M. Drouyn de Lhuya assured Mr. Dayton " upon his honour" that the Emperor was anxiously awaiting the earliest opportunity to withdraw his troops from Mexico. An apology for slavery, carefully toned down for French readers, is subjoined to the above arguments. Ignoring the fact that the South is fighting for slavery, and boasts that it is the corner stone of its institutions, the pamphlet represents that the Southern leaders would be quite disposed to relax its leading principle in obedience to the persuasive voice of France. Thu argument is—" The first power which recognises the Confederate States will have a right to obtain, in favour of the negroes, much larger concessions than the Federal States would make in case of their restoring the union by victory.. . . That which is impos sible during the struggle will become easy in time of calm. The emancipation of the blacks, the complete abolition of slavery, can only be the work of peace and of time ; and from our alliance with the South will proceed that great social renovation which England has pursued in vain by the right of visit." Observe here how artfully the pamphleteer who professes to speak itt the name of the Emperor (whose personal schemes we were told in the beginning were at the bottom of the Mexican expedition) is obliged, in deference to French public opinion, to affect disapprobation of slavery. He proposes, it is true, an alliance with the slaveholders, whose only reason for war is the maintenance of slavery, but pretends that abolition of slavery will be the result of that alli ance. The pamphlet concludes in the following words : As moo as the Oonfederste States .bell be recognised by Francs their strength will be quintupled, and all their gabs will be their adversary's loss. For other BMWs are only wakes( the signal from Frame to follow her example. Among the raceradAry commercial re/atiose there are many who denim the constitution of a Coufederate republic ; and although they have bithertobeen restrained by the phantom of slavery, these 'latices will follow Frame because they how that we sever lend our support to any work latish is not one of social psoovatioe.

Jessop, Esq., steel manufacturer, the newly elected master cutler. Amongst the guests were Lord Wharucliffe ; the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, M.P. ; Sir J. Ramadan; J. A. Roebuck, H.P. ; Mr. Remington Mil/a ; and many others. The usual loyal toasts and thebeeltha of the neighbouring nobility having been proposed and cordially drunk, Mr. T. Duew proposed " Her Majesty's Ministers." Si CHARLES WOOD—(Chews)—l should be the most in sensible of men if I dui DOA deeply feel the kind manner in which my old friend Mr. Dunn hie proposed the tout of my health in connexion with her Majesty's ministers, but still more the kind manner in which you, to most of whom I am necessarily a stranger, have rewired the toast, unprecedented, I am told, in the ordinary practice of the Cutlers' feast, and which my friend Mr. Dune, with undue partiality, I doubt not has attributed to my presents amongst you. On my own behalf, sod on behalf of my colleagues, I return you my best thanks for the honour which you have done us, believing that, is no party spirit, a large and intelligent community like this will give its support to whatever ministry is in power, provided that ministry does its duty. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.) I have • somewhat difficult task imposed upon me, for I mu to avoid politic ; and yet to speak of a political body— (laughter)—a body which exists only as a political body. (Hear, bear.) But I hope I may, profiting by some words which fell from Mr. Dann, take that abstinence from politics in the sense of abstaining from party politics. (Hear, hear.) Fortunately for me, in looking back at the events of last session, I am able to say that party politics can hardly be discovered ; that the course he r Majesty's ministers have felt it their duty to pursue has re. °need the general approbation of the House of Commons, and, as far as I can judge, the House of Commons faithfully represents the opinions of the people of England. (Hear, bear.) We are sometime, reproached for having done little, but the truth is we have approached a time when there is a lull, when the time of great measures has passed. (Hear, hear.) My hon. friend referred to a date—some thirty years ago—which calls to my recollection the last time I had the bouour of appearing before a Sheffield audir mum, a time when the country was in the throes of the agi tation for reform. (Hear, hear.) It is not for the want of most hospitable invitations that I have not been here since that time, but unfortunate circumstances have prevented my preaesce on many with festive occasions. However, when we look back to the measures which have been carried sines that time—when we remember the fact that every de partment of the government., every institution of the coun try, has undergone a searching inquiry and a general im provement. it is not suprisiog t h at at this day there are no great measures to press. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dune has said, and I entirely concur with him„that the measures which have been carried have not been due to one administration or to one party alone—(hew, hear) —but each successive administration, as it came into power, has done its best to improve the institutions and departments of the country. (Loud applause.) The truth is that there is a power pre valent in this country greater than the power of the admi. I:lineation—the power of enlightened public opinion, which sometimes encourages, sometimes retards, but in the end it guides the course of public affairs. (Cheers.) Public opi nion is aided by a free and intelligent prese—(hear, bear)- -sod it must be admitted that it is ultimately decisive as to the course to be pursued in public events. (Hear.) Though it sometimes errs, the administration of affairs is generally carried on in conformity with the wishes of the great majority of the country, and putting man aside, the instinct of a great nation always leads to what is right. (Hear.) The result of all this is, that the country is raised to a state of political contentment and prosperity which is perfectly unexampled, sad which is hardly sleeted even by the sad calamity which kw befallen our neighbours in a sister county. (Hoer, hear.) We have been enabled to look with considerable pride at the happy and contented state of this country, so different to some other nations. which are now experiencing the dreadful effects of a civil war, and struggling for liberty, and we may, I think, look with thankfulness and with due humility to the Giver of all good, for the Waning, which we as a country enjoy. (Hear, hear.) As to foreign politics I may say we have eodeavoured to preserve the peace of the world, and not to undertake any Quixotic crusade for the liberties of other countries (hear, hear)—have given our moral support to all who are struggling for freedom—(applause) — sod in the great civil contest which is waging at the other aide of the Atlantic we have, I think, performed our duty in preserving a etriet Den trality. (Cheers.) I should have been glad to say no more, but, atter the observations of Mr. Dunn, I cannot help re. (erring to that department over which I have the honour to preside. (Hear, hear.) I concur in what Mr. Dunn has said, and bear out the truth of his observations. (Hear, bear.) I have sow, for the sewed time, beeome connected with the administration of India. (Hear, hear.) I must say that the power of this country in India seems to me to be something miniculous. (Hear, hear.) No man would have be lieved four or five years ago that the energy of a few Englishmen could have suppressed the moat formi dable mutiny which nearly desolated the country from one end to the other. (Hear, bear.) Un daunted by numbers—standing almost alone—no man, no woman (pulled, and in the end they triumphed over the mutioy in the most splendid manner. (Applause.) Since that time tranquillity has been restored, the country has attained a degree of prosperity which it never attained before, and the whole of its institutions have been revised. (Hest, hear.) Ido not wish to take more credit to myself than is my due, but since I have been at the office Which now hold the government of the country has bees cast, natives admitted into the administration—thrarj— the judicature has been revised; the penal code, civil pro. ceediep, the army, and the navy hare all been remodelled --(hear)—and I hardly know a point in which *dadaist/s -tirs improvement was required in which we have not done that which was beet, and which has met with the approbation of parliament at home, and the approval of the great manes of the population of India. (Cheered We are performing our mission to that country in governing it for the benefit of the great masses of the people there, and in the welfare of the people of India we shall not only de rive the beet pecuniary reward, but we shall have performed. I hope, that great mission to which we have been called, of improving and civilising the largest population which at present saints ceder the rule of any one sovereign. (Cheers.)

This morning the fifteenth annual report of the Poor-law Board wee leaned. It appears that during the year which ended with March 25, 1862, the sum of 6,077,9271. was expended for the relied of the poor, being an increase of 298,2841. as compared with the gam expended duringthe preceding year. Themly union counties which exhibit decreased expenditure during the period are Suffolk o's per cant., Sagest o'6, Cambridge 0"7, Berke 013, Huntingdon It. The total amount of the ex. penditure for the relief of the poor in England and Wales for the year coding at Lady-day, 1862, exceeded by 238,981/. that of the previous year. The principal increase has been in the counties of Warwick, Nottingham, and Derby, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. In the county of Lancaster the rate of increase has been 9•0 per cent., the serious distress which has prevailed la the population connected with the cotton manufacture in that county having only partially commenced at the date to which the statement of the expenditure is made up. The returns of the number of persona in receipt of relief being made up to a later period, and therefore being more affected by the distr.n referred to, exhibit a larger amount at increase. The returns for the whole kingdom on the Ist of July, 1862, and theist of January, 1863, show, as compared with the similar returns for the previous year, an increase in the total number of persona receiving relief, on the former date of 73,716 persons, or 8/ per cent., and on the latter date of 194,120, or 203 per cent. The commissioners add—" It is satisfactory to state that, notwithstandiag the large number of persons who have been thrown out of employment, and the serious and sudden pressure which boa thus been cast upon those who ware charged with the administration of the poor rates, so cases have been brought under our notice of • failure to supply all destitute persons with adequate relief ; and although complaints have in some few instaitoesbeen made of the conditions on which the guardians have afforded the relief, an regards the hours of work or the amount of work required, no well founded complaints have been substan tiated. We have much pleasure in adding that the work. kg cheese in the cotton manufacturing district have con ducted themselves generally with admirable patience under their privations. Some slight and temporary disturbances, which occurred at Hyde, Ashton, and Stalybeidge, in which, however, the great body of the operatives took no part, were promptly repressed without any serious miachief having been perpetrated." The number of persona vaccinated by the public vaccine tor during the year is 442,395 ; the number dosses in which vaccination was reported as sucosisful Si 437,693 ; the births during the same period were 702,181. The commis loners say.—" We believe that • considerable aumhsr of children are vaccinated by private medical practitioners, who omit to register them ; and many infects die before they are three months old, the meat which vaccination is %wally performed. These cases are not included in the vaminatiori returns made to the board, and in some measure account for the total somber of children vaccinated being much leas than the number of births. There can be no doubt, however, that partly from carelessness or indifference, and partly from prejudice against vaccination, the provisions which the kw hoc made with the object of extending the practice of vac cination have sot been so efeetnal as might be desired." THE QUEEN IN GERMANY. VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. On Monday afternoon the King of Prussia, on his return from Beden-Baden, arrived at Coburg by special train from Lichtenfels, and immediately proceeded to I Rosman en a visit to her Majesty the Queen.

A letter from Rome, of the 29th lilt ? says : Dr. Maggiorani has just been deprived of his poet of pro fessor of legal medicine at the Roman university, and has also been removed from his office of member of the medical college. Dr. Maggiorani has been regarded for • long time as a conspirator, an enemy of the pontifical government, and that the measure now directed against him has not been taken sooner is owing solely to Cardinal Marini, whose physician he was. Mag giorsai is the moat distinguished doctor of Rome. It is probable that he will now quit the pontifical state. The Italia government has already placed at his disposal any chair of medicine in the kingdom that he may choose to se lect. The Homan government is reduced to such an ano malous condition that its principal occupation is to adopt Khoo measure* and to commence proceedings against this or that citizen. It men everywhere only coagulators ; the distrust is general. SPAIN.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATEER FLORIDA. Bum 4. The Mositeur of this morning says : " The privateer Florida, sailing under the Con federate deg, has entered Brest to repair damages. Her reception was in accordance with the ordinary principles of international law. "At the opening of the war the Emperor's go- vernmett, in accord with other powers, recognised the Confederates in the character of belligerents, and declared its intention of observing a strict neutrality between the two parties. In like cases it is the right as well as the duty of neutrals to permit the vessels of belligerents to procure them selves means not for fighting purposes, but for navigation. _ _ . " It has, therefore, been decided that the Florida oonld be permitted to procure all that was indis pensable to maintain her in a good navigable state, without being able to make purchases tending to recruit her armament of war." THE SPANISH ELECTIONS. MADRID, Sz Pr. 4. A denial has been given to the rumours of a tinistecial crisis. It is said that Senor Oloraga is opposed to the policy of abstaining from voting at the elections.

It must be borne in mind that the Grammoota are altogether a different family from the Gramma', to which the Duo de Guides and the Due de Caderoosee belong, although they are often indiscriminately written, pronounced, and gene- rally coofounded. It is generally believed that the Moat moreacies descended from the ant Christian baron are extinct ; but there are two ladies who still represent the elder branch—La Comte:ewe de la Chatre sad La Marquise de Biencourt. The branch of Montmorency Luxembourg still exista in the person of the ducheca who bean the latter title. The departure of the Emperor Napoleon for Biarritz is fired for September 10.
