At ear market this swain we had a lees 'apply of Wheat from the coun try, but the Gish coastwise being rather more liberal, and the condidon menovar being indifferent, sales could only be promoted by wahmitting to a decline of Is. per qr.

This plan on ginated with no civilian, at whom it might have been said that he was ignorant of the practical Wanes of the two offices proposed to be consolidated. It did net originate with any democratic economist of the Joann Hon school, who might have been called • shabby "by genteel politicians. The author of the was the Duke of RICHMOND. We have , there - Toro, the the authority of a conservative soldier for saying that the efficiency of oar military force would be in creased by consolidating the army and navy offices. The saving which would thus be effected could not fall short of one-third of the actual expenditure, say 83,0001. Two other items of the ordnance estimate are 168,3671. for wages - of artificers and labourers, and 704,0301. for works, buildings, and repairs. The Commons' committee of lit anon did not overtake the military estimates, but the revelations they extorted respecting the go vernment steam-factories, and the general manage ment of the dockyards, show pretty conclusively the manner in which government workshops are ma naged. The abolition of that branch of the Ordnance office which is charged with the construction and re pairs of military works and barracks and the employ ment of regular tradesmen, ander estimates, to make all absolutely necessary erections and repairs, would materially diminish the expenditure under the two heads of wages and buildings. Works are run up at present simply and solely for the purpose of finding employment for the surveyor's department, and they are constructed or repaired with much the game degree of economy and good management that pre- Timis in the dockyards and government steam-facto ries. One-half, at least, of the Ordnance expenditure under the heads of wages and buildings is sheer jobbing and waste. Upwards of 400,0001. a year might here be saved with advantage. Turning to the army estimate we find there also various items of unnecessary expenditure. The aver age cost per annum of an infantry regiment of the line is 32,0001. ; the average cost of each of the three regiments of Horse Guards is 84,0001. The average annual cost of a cavalry regiment of the line is 18,0001. ; the average cost of each of the three regi ments of Horse Guards is 29,0001. Now it is only half the truth to say of the guards that they are a relic of the barbarous splendour of lees civilised ages, or that their maintenance occasions distinctions in the service calculated to do injustice to meritorious soldiers, and breed heart-burnings and quarrels in the army. The service in the guards is for the private soldiers most demoralising, as even those who have no opportunities of making per sonal observations, may infer from the tragedy of ANNETTE METERS, the attempt to swindle two of the French national guard on their late visit, and the recent affray in the Eagle Tavern. There are honourable exceptions, but the majority of the privates of the guards are the roués of low life, and are made so by their comparative idleness, higher pay, and constant exposure to metropolitan tempta tions. By equalising the pay, appointments, and du ties of all the regiments in the army—which would be an act of justice to the soldiers-96,0001. per annum might be saved on the horse guards, and 42,000!. on the toot guards—in all 138,0001. We have already pointed out in the course of this hasty, and necessarily superficial, review how 803,0001. per annum may be saved in the army and ordnance expenditure, irrespective of any reduction of force, and greatly to the advantage of the service. If we proceed to reductions this saving may be greatly teenaged. Ten colonial corps are at present borne on the army estimate, and these ten corps cost this country, according to the estimate of 1848-9, no less than 249,0001. Exclusive of India, there were eta timed in the colonies, on the let of January last, 18 regiments of British infantry and half a regiment of cavalry. The cavalry are stationed in the colonies properly so called, and if we allow half the infantry to our military stations and convict colonies (Gib 'sitar, &c.), we are under-estimating the pro portion allotted to the colonies. The half re giment of cavalry cannot cost less than 10,000!. and 14 regiments of foot must coat, at least, 448,0001. per annum. We are therefore paying to colonial corps and regiments of the line 707,0001. a year, and the "co lonial staffs" cost at least 160,0001. in addition. In common fairness the colonies ought in time of peace to bear the expense of their own defensive establish ments ; and in point of fact these regiments are main tained in the colonies, not to defend them from foreign aggression, bet to keep them quiet and submissive Gibe the misrule of the Colonial-office. Of the ord nese expenditure (exclusive of the pay of men and oaken), 293,0001. is incurred in the colonies and military stations, the portion of this incurred in the colonies properly so called, amounting to 191,3861., and a detachment of artillery is constantly stationed in Canada for no other purpose apparently but to un learn its duties. It is therefore obvious that, by leaving the colonies to provide for their own dein" a saving of 1,038,366!. per annum might be effected. By the simple process of consolidating the adminio tration of the army, equaliaing the pay, app3intmen4, and duties of the different regiments, cutting off a source of wasteful and jobbing expenditure, and re lieving the colonies from the military sent to owns them, 1,661,3661. per annum may be saved in the army and ordnance expenditure alone. The 98,6341. remainder of 1,760,0001., required to be cut off is order to reduce our army and ordnance expenditure to the footing of 1835, might easily be made up by a slight reduction in the effective force of the army and ordnance at home. We will proceed, in an early number, to show that it is equally possible to make the reductions in oar naval outlay required to bring it back to the wale of 1835. Liusaica, Dee. 16.-We have had a continuums of wet weather during the week. Very little Wheat sown, nor an farming operations be proceeded with from the severity of the weather.

KIRKCALDY, Deo. 16.- The weather during the early part of the week was dry, and remarkably mild for the mama of the year ; yesterday a good deal of rain fell, with a high wind, which became Smolt a hurricane towards night ; to-day it is quiet again, with a rising barometer. At our country markets during the week, we had only moderate supplies of ell kinds of grain. Farmers asked more money for Wheat ; hut notwitt standing a greater inclination on the part of buyers to purchase than at late, we do not think any advance was paid on last week's ntes. Barley, of fins quality, was readily taken ofi at 61. to le. per qr. advance, and even secondary quality was 6d. dearer. Oats were ab - nt 6d. per qr. cheaper than last week. Barley and Oats both in moderato supply; sales quick, at about 61. per qr. over last day's rates. Wheat, 465. to 645. per qr. Barley, 235. to 31s. Oats, 17e. to 225. Oatmeal, per bag of 2801 be., 28s. For Saturday's markets ate last pay Such are the results of this fine charity. The muter revels in wealth for which he does nothing; and the brethren pass their days in squabbling over their meals, in disputing Lx the tit-bits of their well accustomed shoulders of mutton, and for the liver wings of the " gu• dy• bees, and go nightly to bed grumbling at their chief. Improvement, too, with the parent system is hope /ass. "There can be little doubt that were be [the muter] to mode to the wish for a commutation, new grounds for dissatisfaction would not fail to occur in the minds of men utterly without occupation, and situated in other respects as the inmates of this insti tution!" Miserable consequences of injudicious charity! The office of Muter is a scandal on society ! The result of brotherhood is wretchedness to the brethren! In the name of decency, then, let us pre vent the odium which the Earl of GUILFORD bears so noncha'a•i'ly from falling on the son of another Bishop of WINCHESTER. And for the sake of hu manity. let us sale other thirteen old gentlemen from the misery and degradation now cultivatLd at St. Cross. Though the statements of our correspondents to that effect have been carped at by the Earl of GUIL FORD'S Hampshire apologists, the annual value of its property is, we are amour 1 by competent authority, about 10,0001. a year. True, neither the hospital nor the master is in receipt of so huge an income; but such is, nevertheless, the value of its endowments. Long leases and rents anticipated by fines, for the benefit of the masters, have Interposed between the hospital and the full enjoyment of its property. And so long is the ins'itution is conducted on the existing system public decency is unsuited by the smallness of its revenues. But convert the establishment into • something useful—apply its surplus revenues, after • maintaining thirteen old gentlemen in comfort, to some objects of public advantage—and society will • hive a direct interest in the due administration of its temporalities. The great bulk of the property consists of tithes., and there is now before us a statement of the various sums for which these tithes have been commuted. From Vile it appears that the total amount of annual rent charges payable in respect of tithes belonging to St. Cross is no less than 8,3161. To that sum must be added 8131. a year derived from pensions, fishing', land tax, &c., making 9,1291 a year. And as there are other tithes not yet commuted, and household property of which we have no account, the annual value of the endowments of St Cross is not.be neath 10,0001. a year. Whether the law would enforce, on payment of the accustomed fiat s, the renewal of the leases which intercept a large part of this sum from reaching St. Creme, appears to be very doubtful. Sometimes the report of the Charity Commissioners appears to treat the leases as liable to compulsory renewal; at others it speculates on the master running his life against some. But that the income received by the hospital could be greatly improved by the adoption of a better system of leasing its property is quite certain. The misfortune of the institution is that the only authority which has any power of visitation or correc tion is its patron, the Bishop of WINCHESTER; and the prelates of t hat see, regarding its patronage as a piece of family jobbery, have been anxious above all things that St. Croke and its affairs should not attract public attention. Thus, century after century, its uselessness, its mismanagements, and its corruption, have been prolonged. Undoubtedly, however, there is a difficulty in the way of increasing the utility of each wealthy . esta blishments as St. Cross, though the difficulty is cer tainly less there than a most similar institutions — less, for example, than it would be at Dulwich Col lege, or perhaps at Sherburn Hospital. For, in the first place, the original trusts of the foundation of St. Cross are not in existence, and the existing applica tion of its funds rests on secondary evidence • and, in the second place, St. Cross is not an ecclesiastical benefice. The former is an argument for the tion of its revenues and übjects, and the latter St. Cress out of the magic circle of church property : both are great aids to its improvement. Something must be done with this hospital, for its present foundation is a disgrace to the age in which we live. Conceive Sir PETER LAURIE pocketing two-thirds of the income of the Bridewell and Beth lem Hospital, and the state of St. Cross is realised. What human being, except the Bishop of WIN CHESTER and the Earl of GUILFORD, has any interest in the continuance of such a system ? And as Dr. SUMNER is fallible and nepotic,let us deliver him from the temptation of St. Cross before the next vacancy of mastership occurs. The city of Winchester ought to move: it will find supporters in such a cause in the House of Commons; that we promise the citizens. The Montreal Board of Trade either has no fixed principles of action, or, having them, it know, not how to abide by them. It has recently published a memorial, which has not only drawn down upon it a rattling criticism from the Canadian press, of all shades of opinion, but occasioned a division in its own ranks, the more prudent and disinterested section of it strongly protesting against some of the principles em bodied in the document in question. To understand aright the motives which appear to have actuated the Montreal Board of Trade in adopt ing the recommendations proffered in their memorial, our readers should first be put in possession of the exact position of the Montreal merchants, with respect to the import trade of Canada. There are two channels by which imports reach the market* of Canada—the one being by the St. Lawrence, which is the Canadian route, and the other lending through the territory of the neighbouring republic. Quebec and Montreal are the sole entreps'ts for such mer chandise as enters the province by the former, bat goods transmitted through the latter need not neces sarily come in contact with either of those ports. The American route divides itself into two branches, one of which, that by the Hudson and Lake Champlain, Lrr us not forget that nobly-endowed but most con ignobly-used hospital, St. Cross, near Winchester, verges with the St. Lawrence on Montreal ; whilst the other, that by the Hudson and the Erie Canal, has whereof his Reverence the Earl of GUILFORD has i been muter since February, 1808. It is, indeed, farts termination at any of the Canadian ports, in the upper country, upon Lakes Ontario and Erie. From too fine an example of medieval munificence and of its position and its other advantages as a commercial modern abuse to be lost sight of: Let us rather en deavour, the Bishop of WINCHESTER non °Want., to station, Montreal must necessarily continue to be the turn its vast revenues to some better account than chief emporium, whence the markets of Lower Canada the enrichment of another prelate's son. w ill b e supplied.

Yet this is one of the proposals which have i emanated from the Montreal Bo ar d o f Trade, dissentients to this recommendation have, in the Zhs b ,„„_ teat which they bare addressed t o the eeereC pointed out in detail the objections existing f' We need here do no more than briefly all u d e to the most striking. The proposal is, in effect, to admit goods import ed into the province by way of the St. Lawrence at e rate of duty lower by one-third than that hez.; upon goo re dsizorted through the . Lotted sew s. 0 3 such a pro were sanctioned , it would tither h oe the dem effect, or it would not. Whether it would or would not, it would be found to be roost would, and mischievous. We will first suppose that it would, and trace the consequences. The Montreal merchants have gained their obje c t, and Montreal is the great and undisputed entrept,e Canada. The whole imports of the province had their way to its different markets, f rom the overloaded quays of its capital city. Edt the provincial revenues mainly derived from taxes upon imposts. With one-third of these ti led struck off at a blow, the Canadian t ar i ff would pro, duce but two-thirds of the revenue whi:h it toe tee. niehes to the province. Were the e xpenditure at the same time reduced to two-thirds its pramt moon, the proposal, so far, migh t not only b e uno bj (cties. able, but desivable. But in Canada, as in this oo ze , try, there is a tax-spendirg class, who dis cover so alacrity whatever in diminishing expenditure. Th en must consequently be a deficiency in the revenue to one-third the amount required to meet the goven t . mental exigencies of the province. How is this de ficit to be made up? Are the Montreal impute, prepared to supply it out of the enhanced profie,. which they anticipate ? This would really h e too much to expect from suc h a qua r t er . The great body of consumers ch iefly consistin g farmers, who would be for from gettin g the full benefit of the remission of one-third o! the duties, would be taxed to make up the difference. They would thus be paying a large yearly sum, to force, for the almost exclusive benefit of a sew porters in a particular locality, the current of import; into a channel which it would otherwise avoid. Har e the Canadian farmers evidenced, by their auteemients, that they are a race that can be cajoled into the preo. tics of a self-denial like this? But suppose the scheme does not succeed, sad the the proportion of imports, taking the tw.i rortio, mains the same as at present. The deficit to be pee, melee for will in this case be less, inasmuch as the proposed drawback will operate, not upon the whole, but only upon a portion of the imports. The differ. enee between the two cases is, in this respect, not one of principle, bat of degree. But the most serious evil to apprehend is retaliation on the part of the Americana They have it in their power to retaliate severely. They can discriminate against Canada as easily as Canada can discriminate ageing them. By the adoption of a policy similar to that proposed, they can force the export and import trade of the far north-west—the great grain-growing re. gion of America—exclusively into American channels. Are the Canadian people prepared for this? It was not with a view to their own export and import trade merely that they took upon themselve, the heavy obligations tinder which they yet labour, for the con. etruction of these great works of internal improve. ment, which were designed to afford facilities lot transit. To secure the transit trade of Canada was but one of their objects, the other being to secure that of the north-west. Already they are to some extent realising their object in this latter respect, whilst every day is increasing the probabilities that they .4 sooner or later, completely accomplish it. Ard are they to be thus baulked, when on the very thresh. hold of realising their expectations? Were they so, all prospect of the expensive public works of Canada paying for themselves, for some generations at leant, would vanish, and the consumers of the province would have to submit to additional taxation, for the means of paying the principal and interest of the debt contracted for their construction. The Ameri. cans would certainly throw themselves upon a retaliatory policy if the proposed scheme succeeded, and there is but little doubt that they would also be tempted to do so, even if it disappointed the expec. tatiows of its promoter*. No body of men has been so instrumental in de monstrating the superiority of the Canadian over the American route for transit as the Montreal Board of Trade. As they have removed all the natural ob. stacks to it, let not the Canadians rest satisfied mail every artificial impediment is swept away. Mk Board of Trade will do well to confine its operations in this respect to divesting the St. Lawrence of the restrictions imposed upon it by the navigation laws, and then rely upon that soperiority of route which it itself has been the most successful in forming. Inquiries on such a scheme would be to the general interests of the province, whilst it would involve but a doubtful advantage even to the worthies who seek to promote it : they would not, as it appears, be ratio. Red even if they succeeded in establishing it. They would not only discriminate against the American, bat they would also discriminate against the English. man. They more than hint at the propriety of estie bliehing a sort of British American Zollverein. What else can they mean by countenancing the idea of free trade with the sister colonies, as far as the exigencies of the province will admit of? We presume that, by the sister colonies, they do not mean all the colonies of the British empire, but simply the group to which they themselves more immediately appertain. Their proposal then would go to the ob literation of all municipal boundaries, so far es trade and commerce were concerned, embracing the whole five provinces within one vast tariff inclosure, but breaking down all internal boundaries between them. Within the wide circumference the produce and ma nufactures of each of the colonies should circulate within the limits of all the others on terms far more liberal than would be conceded to any of the outer barbarians. But in this category, the inhabitants of the imperial state are included, so that the pro ?jet, effect, to let the manufactures of w in Brunswick or Nova Scotia circulate through Canada, and vice versa, on more favourable terms than the manufactures of Great Britain are allowed to enter any of the provinces. What is this but discriminating against the Englishman in favour of their fellow-provincials, and this alter the English man has ceased to discriminate against them, in favour of his fellow-countrymen P It would, in other words, j be an attempt to build up a " provincial system s similar to the " American system " which was forced into precocious maturity in the neighbouring states, in avowed antagonism to the interests of England. The Canadian parliament has not the power, nor is it likely that it will have the inclination, to do this. Let the intercourse between the provinces be u free u their mutual exigencies will admit of, but let not Nova Scotian be fostered at the expense of British in dustry, by putting the Nova Scotia on a better foot ing in the Canadian market than the Englishman.

AUSTRIA.—In Pesth and Ofen the cholera pre vailed within the last few days. It is confined chiefly to the low parts of the town, where there is a great want of cleanliness. In the upper part of the Blocks berg, and in the fortress, it has not yet had any victoria. Precautionary measures had been adopted, and part of the barracks has been arranged for a cholera hospital. ' The Magyar army, which was informed by Kossuth of the abdication of the Emperor, has everywhere taken up a defensive position. Rub is completely surrounded by entrenchments. Kossuth's army amounts to about 160,000 men, but it is clear that the holiness is not considered national, and that the burghers of the cities and the rural population ar dently desire peace. PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin papers of the 16th inst. The town-council of Berlin has resolved by a ma jority only , of 2 (46 to 44) to forward an address to the king, thanking him for the pant of the new con• stitution ; regarding which it is to be observed, that of that constitution those clauses of the 22nd article which provide that no payment shall be required for instructions in public schools, had been peremp torily set aside by the so-called " school deputation of Berlin, upon the ground that those clauses cannot be carried into effect before the promulgation of the laws on education. The same " deputation" has also refused to do away with the small payment in the " city poor schools"—(in dem straltiselien iirmenchw lets.) The arrests in Munster and other parts of West . phalli' are very numerous. The parties are charged with attempting to organize an armed resistance to the government.
