Oxi great source of military expenditure mast always be the non-effeative, or dead weight, charge. At present it betrayer, hemilyon thenatimal finance. Lest session's estimate and vote for it reached in round numbers the greet ram of 2,200,0004 ; and as the present reductioca and the forthcoming expiration of the first period of the tea years' enlist ment will, in souse measure, Maumee the halfpsy and pension lists, it may be presumed that we can hardly hope for any large redaction next session. Nevertheless, it is earnestly to be hoped that the War Minister will very steadily fix his attention, if not on its immediate, at all events on its progressive Moo tics. For it is impossible to emotion a yearly sum so large as 2,200,0004 as a permanent item of non-effective military expenditure. The conclusion of • war necessarily adds to the dead weight of army estimates and votes. Diminished establishments can only be accomplished by sending large numbers of officers on half-pay, by retiring allowances, and by pensions. And the country an filch the pecuniary blessings of peace by any die. regard of good faith to those who have served it in war. Still it may be possible to lay down each rules at mice is will at no distant date—nay, as will annually—adios this heavy pull as the national resources. And here it is that the utility of our present military system, in separating the command and discipline of the army from its policy and political control, is made apparent. That separation at ones creates a machinery of check and counter- check. For example, the Minister of War having nothing to do with the patronage of the army, except in its highest broaches, is in a position to control that patronage in the hands of the Gess& Co.. maoding•in.Chief, and to take oars that it is exer cised with a proper regard to public economy; while the General Commanding-in-Chief, not being directly responsible to Parliament for military expenditure, is io a position to pay fall attention to the jest requirements and expectatioas of the w eirs Thus, let as trust, Lord Puntuan, duly estimating the pressure of the non-effective charge, will require the Duke of CAIUMIDOS to take back again into active service, utast se opportunities fairly offer, at lent the subalterns who are now being forced en ball-pay. It is not, of mune, to be expected that all promotions in ease of death vacancies shall cease until all the radioed lieutenants are re-absorbed into mare►ing regiments; for that would create a spirit of dissatisfaction and a reason able disappointment, and in the case of regiments which were not engaged in the late war, would operate unjustly; bat that some proportion of death vacan cies should be appropriated to the relief of the charge for dead weight, and to the restoration of the younger half pay officers to active service, is an arrangement alike due to public moony sad fairness to indi viduals. Generally speaking, the reduced ekes will be all very young men, almost as good lives as assigns allowed to purchase on death vasancies and promotions would he, and to Pees them at their average age on half-pay would be to In a serious animal charge for many years to come on the palls. Hem, therefore, is one way by which the charge for noneffective service may be kept down; for if Olken decline, on being appointed, to rejoin, of coarse they have no farther claim for half pay. But, after all, neither the charge for general officers, over plentiful though they are in the British army, nor for half pay, constitutes the serious part of the army dead weight. About one-foerth et the whole will meet the cost of those heads; whereas, quite on►half of the 2,200,0001. is required to dis charge the pensions, in and oat, of old soldiers. This is en expenditure which the country does not grudge, and if it did it would act very unreasonably. For, rightly considered, these pensions are ally deferred pay. If they had no existence, if on discharge after full service soldiers were to be turned on the world, it is very obvious that it would require a meek higher rate of daily pay, as well as of bounty, to fill the ranks of oar regiments. It is the pension that attracts quits se much an the bounty; and se no soldier can possibly sue out of his pay, the pension may be described as the sassy the State practises for him during active service, to be enjoyed when he leaves the service. There are, however, two modes by which this item is the dead weight can be kept down; first, by so in. messing the efficiency of the army as to be able to do with the smallest possible numerical force ; and secondly, by making the regimental service so arras tire and by so improving the condition of the soldier, that the State may get out of him the largest and longest possible amount of service. It is now nearly tan years ago that Mr. Fox Hems diminished the period of enlistment to ten years. During that period the condition of the soldier has undergone most Bub. staollal improvements; and we shall shortly see what effect those improvements will have on re enlistment, and consequently on economy. But what we desire to impress on those who de• claim without much serious consideration against the dead weight is, that the readies mode of keeping it down to the lowest practicable point consists la in sussing the efficiency of the army, in oaring for and ameliorating the position of the soldier, in providing him, not with luxurious, but with clean and comfort able barracks, in treating him with Christian kind. seas, and opening up to him higher ranks of merit- Then the man will be proud of his preemies, be satisfied with his position, and will remain in it until the State has had its full value out of him. Do not, therefore, let our someemisal friends suppose that in advocating military improve. meets we are advocating Increased szpsaditers l in the a :: v, as in everything ske, sisetivasis is. the best scones; in the bog rue' It is said that 100,000 peasesters were enveri by railway fns et.

A letter from Berlin of the 10th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says:—" Coont Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Francs, has sent a circular to the French diplomatic agents at foreign courts, in answer to that of Russia of Sept. 2. A.- cording to what we have heard of this new dormant. the French government repels the reproaches of Prince GortoltakoH, and Addams argument. to prove that it is erroneously that the oondaot of Francis and England in the Neapolitan affair hes been represented as contrary to existing treaties, and to the public right of Europe." The Faris correspondent of the ntss se (second edition) writes : "It is stated an good authority that a note, which I presume we may consider as an ultimatum, was despatched on liatarday to Naples by the French government. In it the King is informed that if he persists in rejecting the advise of the Allied govern ments, Baron Brinier, the Minister of France at Naples, would be withdrawn, and all diplomatic relations °saes. It is also believed that a similar eoessiudostion has been lade by the Raleigh go eminent.

Late this afternoon the important news arrives by telegraph from Madrid that the O'Donnell Ministry has resigned, and that Narvae. is President of the Council. The work of erection goes bravely on. Nerved', who, according to yesterday's letters, had paid a friendly visit to O'Donnell, and did not desire to interfere in politics, is already muter of the situation. Whatever events may be in store for unhappy Spain, the downfall of O'Donnell cannot bat be a subject of rejoicing. Corps dieat have bees of late years alarmingly soceseeful, and an example of the overthrow of a cup cretat conspirator will be most wholesome se a counterbalance to the tempts don which besets those entrusted with power to us it spinet the people whose delegates they are. No privy conspiracy or rebellion can be anything like so dangerous to a state as that secret plotting of government' to break oaths and overturn all guano ' tees of national liberties which the unhappy nooses of recent experiments have led unthinking multi. tildes to admire and extol. 'The democratic conspirator always risks his head and can do little harm against a government really conformable to the popular will I bet rulers who command the army, and are in pos session of all the resources of the state, may, whoa they are utterly without principle, so choose their time, and so select their instruments, as to keep • whole nation prostrate at their feat fora fearful length of time. O'Donnell, whatever he may hays done to destroy the liberties of Spain, has not long enjoyed his conquest. Between him and Narvik' there is not a pin to choose on the score of liberalism. They both rely upon brute force to govern the people whose rights they utterly contemn. O'Donnell, however, is the greater hypocrite of the two. I think it highly probable that Narrate will not last bog. The court will, &word. log to the best opinions, be so elated by its success, that a thorough ulinunontane government will be likely to supplant him. Meanwhile, another military insurrection may disarrange all the plane of the reckless Qum. If, as has bees repeatedly said with much probability of trath, O'Donnell be Luis Napoleon's man, it may well be that the Spanish branch of the Bourbons may be ousted from their dominions at the some time with their cousin of Naples ._ _ _ Bravo Murillo lift Paris on Saturday for Madrid.

(MOM 001 OWN CONNISPOINDINL) NAPLES, Oct. 9. The public spirit of Naples has been raised to the highest pitch of hope and excitement by the reports which have arrived through the medium of the news papers. Every one is on the look-out for the fleet, and I have heard of hundreds who last Sunday mounted a tower near here in hopes of welcoming the promised salvation. Indeed, such a spirit ham been raised as it will be found very difficult to lay, except by a full satisfaction of the hopes to which diplomacy has given birth. Nor must it be imagined that such excitement indicates any exaggerated views or expectations, bat an the contrary, that full and entire dependence on the Western Powers which can alone save them from ex cesses. I believe that the tendency of events has indeed been of late to lead to the formation of • greater unity of opinion and of action. Mazsinians do not and never did exist here as a party; nor, in fact, did I ever meet with one single individual who favoured his sentiments. Republicanism under any conditions has no friends here. Nor is Muratiem at present in better circumstances. A scrutiny has been made very recently with not the elightest sew oar, and the people, as it seems to me, are daily more and more persuaded of the necessity, palatal as it may be, of rallying round the actual dynasty, but not the actual sovereign. Between Ferdinand IL and the Neapolitans there can never more be any confidence, or respect, or love. As the King never has forgiven and will forgive his subjects, so neither will they forgive or ever believe in their sovereign. There is no oath that man has ever invented or God has ever mo tioned sufficiently strong to bind him, and were he, therefore, to give the ooestitution to-morrow morn ing men would reject the gift, and perhaps supplicate his Majesty to resume it, so fully persuaded are they that their acceptance of it would turn to their ruin. The idea, therefore, which appears to me to gain in creasing favour is the abdication of his Majesty and the secession ofFrancis 11. with a constitution under foreign guarantees. The friends of royalty might be induced to accept each • solution easily, and even ultra liberal., hating thoug r h e g r q do the Bourbons, would, amongst many evils, this as the least. As for the masses, the son of his mother would be welcomed by them witlienthueisam, so that were Francis 11. pro claimed to morrow morning, all the suffrages would be united in his favour. The fatties might possibly condemn the choice, bat it is felt at present to be a certain fact that Ferdinand IL would be impossible with a constitution, and that he would be, as he is, in tolerable without it. I believe that I have given you • faithful picture of the state of parties, and separately described the tendency of public opinion ; there is nothing exaggerated or violent about it, and there is an increasing simplification of the ease, now that all other ideas are eliminated, and whether from personal affection or from necessity, most are disposed to support Francis 11. with the constitution. Perhaps, too, eves the personal friends of Ferdinand, seeing the position into which his madness has brought hint, ham which he eamnot advance with consistency nor recede with dignity, would be disposed to counsel an abdication as the only mode of saving his honour. I think ouch a disposition exist , and much to be desired is it that it should find and acquire daily greater influence, for of one thing are the Neapolitans assured, that the continued rule of the actual sovereign can be reconciled with either the pesos, the satis faction, or the progress of his people. I wish I could inspire you with a thousandth part of the conviction which prevails here that his ideas of government are to Ferdinand IL a religion to which he has in his conscience sworn : he is God's elect—his rights are divine—the Madsen and saints protect hint, and whatever oaths or promises he may make in contra diction of such sentiments would be always regarded by him as secondary and inferior to the one great oath which he has sworn to himself, to maintain hie assumed rights intact. His Majesty, since his interview with the Austrian I minister, General Martini, has been much changed in manner, and those who have seen him describe him as carolling and chuckling with joy. Despatches for the admiral from Malts arrived here last Saturday, and many letters for officers on board the vessels expected here have been waiting for some time. Unless, therefore, any change has taken place in the policy of the allies, or King Ferdinand has given in, the Beet, I suppose, may be expected shortly. I will not contemplate the possibility of the British government receding from its resolution, and leaving the Neapolitans to the mercy of the Aseolnto Padrone. Such a dectiiion would to them be fraught with misery, and to us with dishonour; and it is to be hoped, on the contrary, that there will be an intervention, and that it will be made not for mere haltandlialt 'measures. It ha, been asserted during the whole week by the royalist party that every difficulty has been arranged. lam not aware, however, of any change which has taken place in the position of things. There has been great talk, too, of a new ministry about to be formed; and of the inauguration of a new state of things. Even the very names of those who are to be called to power have been given out, such as Print. Batrisno, and Camaro. Unless, however, the system of go vernment be thoroughly changed, I have no idea that thee* men would accept office; nod until the screw be put on I do not think that any change will take place. What, in fact, has originated all this talk, or what led to the mild sen tences which were pronounced the other day f Does any one imagine that those things inlaid have hap pened but for distant threats P By the bye, even those who were acquitted are not yet fees. So diffionit and dreaded a thing is freedom here. The French surveying vessel the Meteor was yes terday sounding in the bay just outside the port, and as this is the site where foreign ships of war usually anchor, a report was instantly set about that the fleet might be expected directly. Some very extraordinary and extensive robberies have taken place within the last week in the houses of M. Lefevre, the Princess Bt. Elia, and Barone, the great collector. From the first and second, besides other property of great value, it appears that diamonds and jewels have been taken, and people speak of upwards of 50,000 ducats a. being the value of what was robbed in the boom of Lateen. From Be rove have been taken a quantity of gold imperial coins, silver coins, and • great deal else, to the amount of 13,000 ducats. False keys appear to have been used and advantage taken of the absence of fami lies in the country at this season of the year. Several persons have been arrested ; and to one man who was suspected of having swallowed some diamonds, strong medicines were administered with moat happy effect—the diamonds came forth. PIEDMONT.

Some time ago the Princess de Moonier, the sister of Charles Albert, the late King of Sardinia, visited Oporto, and oommenoed the erection of a chapel in the district of Tura de Maros, where that unfor tunate monarch died. Finding the works in danger of stoppage from her want of means, she raised money upon her diamonds and finished the edifice. Lately she returned to Oporto, released her jewels, and paid the builder in tall. It is now said that she came to Lisbon this time to order sculpture for the chapel, and that the well-known artists Assia and Bastos have already received commissions. Apropos of sculpture, I understand that the govern ment has received from England a missive invitin the oompetition of Portuguese artists for the pro posed statue to the Duke of Wellington, along withal the plans and necessary information for their guidance; and it may be that some sou of the soil where the famous duke earned so many laurels is destined to perpetuate him in a statue worthy of his military renown. The King of Portugal sends by the Ermine, u a present to Prince Albert, a magnificent copy of Camoens, elaborately ornamented and hound in vellum. Speaking of books, report says that Mac aulay's History is* favourite study of the King, and that he lately held out a reward to his younger brother, the Duke of Oporto, on the condition that he gave a good account of the first volume of that work. The Ansa! do Comniereio complains bitterly of the negligence displayed by the naval authorities here in the execution of the duties confided to them, and states, amongst other thing., that cases of chats and works on navigation forwar ded by the English Ad miralty for their use are allowed to rot in the Castom hones. This I believe to be a fact; and of a verity such apathy shows a strange reversion of feeling in the nation which gave birth to Da Game and Cabral. BELGIUM. We have lately reported the violent attacks pub. Holy made by the Bishops of Ghent and Bruges on the liberal teaching of the universities of Liege and Ghent. The Univers publishes (and execrates) a remarkably firm and energetic reply to these atneks, being the discourse with which Professor Verhaegen opened the lecture session of the Univenity of Bras• sell on the 6th inst. THE UNITED STATES. The Hon. Henry A. Wise, Governor of Virginia, had delivered a speech of the most violent character in a public meeting at Richmond. Adverting to the possibility of Colonel Fremont's election, he said : I hops and trust in God that we shall be saved from such a calamity. (Cheers.) He is a deadly enemy to hie coun try • he Is a dastard ; he is a demon; be is guilty of the Bin of Cain; he is the wont of murderers—s fratricide, who would, without sufficient cause, light the flames of idyll war.

Considering the question delibe rately, calmly, and being well fortified in the thought, I deliberately say: to you that I will do whatever you will bank me in, to save as or die. (Tremendous applause.) I am making no threats. I will remember the onto I have taken to preserve the constitution and defend the right of the people—l will fight for them, if I must fight, to save, not to destroy. (Enthusiastic applause.)

(Cheers.) Oar enemies will remember that if they have a minority in Vusinia we have • ninerity in New England, New York, and Ohio, tad everywhere North.

These remarks were hailed with vociferous cheers. By the steam-ship Illinois at New York, we have received advice, from California to the 6th ultimo inclusive. This steamer brought 1,867,148 dollars in specie. Baguets at San Francisoo was recovering from recent depression. Mining, the great leading interest of the State, was, as a role, in a prosperous condition. This was especially the case upon the e, which, owing to the unusual drought, were lower than ever before. This, while it cut short the supply of those dependent upon ditches, facilitated operations in the beds of the streams, which were being conducted on a more extensive scale than during any preceding year. The yield from this source will be immense before the close of the season, especially should the rains hold off late. The working of quartz, although not always attended with succese, was, as a whole, satisfactory, and the prospect entree. ra t l tact (says the Alto California) a general survey of our condition and effaire leads us to the belief that, as a people, we are prosperous and progressive. None of our great industrial interests can be said to len. guish. Commerce is gradually spreading up and down our widely extended Gout, as well as to the islands of the sea; while trade, as a general thing, continues paying and active. The cities and towns of the interior, lately destroyed by fire, are already, in a great measure, rebuilt. Education having been provided for with a liberality that brings it within the reach of all, all classes seem disposed to avail themselves of its advantages; so we have at present as large a number of scholars in oar public schools, compared with our population, as any other city in the Union; while, in addition to this, high schools have been established both in this place and in 'Sacramento. And last, yet more important than all, crime has been checked; vice and immorality have been sensib diminished, whilo virtue and religion have been a dvanced in our midst. BURNING OF TILE STEAMER NIAGARA AND LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED LIVES. (From the hankie Deity American, Sept. 26.) From Captain Sweeney, of the steamer Traveller, and paasecgers, we lens the following v./titulars of the burning of the Collingwood steamer Niagara, and the I:.s of about 100 passages and crew. Yesterday afternoon he rakers of the steamer Traveller, while laying at the pier at Port Wohington, discovered to the north about 12 miles a colons of spoke end steam, arid on bringing • glass to bear they discovered that it was the 'teaser Niagara in Emma They at once got up steam •ad ran for the turning vessel, which they reached in about three-quarters of an boar. When they reached her she tree one mass of fames, and all bands except Captain Miller and seven passengers had kit the wreck. These were clisgir g to the wheels, and were at once rescued. The propeller DUES' took up a cumber of pastime and landed them at Pert Weehington. Their name* we are not able to give. The schooner Dan Marble saved about thirty, and also took them into Port Waakingtoo. Oae lady among them, picked up dead, had a nag on marked " Z D. 0. Osly one boat of the Riggers was successful in Davie, guy peseangare, sad this one took 22, all of whom were lauded at Pat Washiattaii—espposed to have hem left at Port Washita/oos. lion. Jobs 13. Macy, of Food du Lae, ' and J. R Goodrich, of this city, were said to have bees on board, and are supposed to have bun lost, uultos the former left at Sheboygan. Captain Milter thinks the wtole aim ben of passengers wu about 100, so that the tole of puten pre must have bees about 80 souls, unity of whom were wenn. sad change. Of the new, Captain F. 6. Miller, the mate, third engiour N. M'Kinnon, waiter W. J. Thnarboner, from,. A. Snider, J Gordon, Robert Gillispie, A. Curry, A. O'Dell, and waiter Daniel Osborn, were saved. flame onsets of the crew were saved, but • number are known to have perished. Mr. Ainsworth, of Vermont, lost his wife, daughter, father, and brother's wife. The Niagara bad 100 tue of merebandiee en board, all of which sash. At six o'clock this events' we expect further particulars on the arrival of the Hann, spas which Captain Miller sad oMeen are B:peen. Keay wne chilled to death by the weather, who otherwise might hare been saved. Capt. Miller knew nothing of the origin of the fire, as the first he heard of it he was awakenid from a nap in his berth, and all was consternation and coafasion. Mr. Harvey Ainsworth, from Royalton, Windsor Co., i Vermont, was aboard with his wife, three children, father, and sister.in.law, with a child. He alone of el the party was saved. They were on their way to Baraboo, in this State, near which place he bad purchased a term last spring, and was on his way to settle. Mr. Ainsworth wee standing alone on the stern of the boat on the Minima" deck, when he first saw the smoke and streaks of flame breaking through the deck, above the engine, be:ween the beams. He immediately ran forward to where his family were standing. The cry of 'Fire, fire," was im mediately raked from a score et •Aces. Men, women, and children rushed on deck, with horror depicted upon every countersue*, and number" rushed to the guards and sprang shrieking into the water, to be buried In their liquid graves. Mr. Ainsworth gathered hie family around him, and unaided, uncoiled the large hawser at the bow, and threw it over the guards. He then let his wife and children down and finally descended into the noose of the hawser himself, and hung fest until the flames bad burned off the rope and let him drop into the water. Mr. Ainsworth then got hold of a boat upside down, to which number of poor drowning wretches were hanging in the last agonise of death. He thinks that at least a dozen persona were busing to the boat when he seised hold. One after another of these dropped off until only himself remained. He then succeeded in getting three men (Mr. Chalmers, of N. 8., J. P. Kennedy, and Hash Kennedy) in the boat with him. The four persona wt TO all finally picked up by a small boat from the schooner. Mr. Ainsworth thinks that there were about one hundred cabin passengers on board when the boat left Sheboygan, besides a large number in the steerage. Mr. Ainsworth lost all his baggage and about a thousand dollars in money. Mr. Ainsworth states that the conduct of Captain Millet was well caleulated to quiet the terror and save the lives of the passenger', and that he was the last man to leave the wrack of his burning vessel. Of the pecuniary lose by this terrible disaster we learn nothing, though it cannot be less than from 200,000 dole. to 300,000 dole. ; it is nothing in comparison to the fearful loss of human life. Mr. C. D. Westbrook, jun., of Green Bay, was in the front cabin when the alarm was siren, and Immediately rushed on deck. He want to the bow of the boat, and while standing there was approached by the Hoe. Mr. Macy, ex member of Congress from this state, who exclaimed, " We are lost! Oh, God we're lost!" and immediately turned and went into the cabin. This was the last seen of Mr. Macy. Mr. Westbrook then turned his attention to his own safety, and was about to jump overboard, when a cry of dis tress and for help reached his eats from the pilot, who, en veloped in smoke and flame, stool manfully at his post. Forgetful of his own safety, tety. W. ran to the assistance of the pilot, and aided the latter in directing the steamer to wards the shore. The engine stopping a few minutes after, the two left the wheel to seek some spot more distant from the smoke and heat. The pilot was not seen afterwards, and it is to be presumed that he was lost. Mr. Westbrook then seized a plank and threw it into the water, and jumped in to get on it. He did no, but I persons in to. water also seised upon the frail support, and sunk with it below the billows. Mr. W. then seised a table floatiort near him, and was finally picked up by a boat from the Traveller, aad carried on board that steamer. Mr. W. informs os that there were no life preservers on board the Niagara. This statement, however, needs eonfirmation. We are indebted to Mr. L. D. Jerome, agent cf the tom. easy, for the following affidavit and statement of Captain Miller. Mr. Jerome thinks that the actual loos of life is less than fifty : Staid of Wisconsin, Oinks.
