The Navy and Army Estimates just promoted to Parliament show a proposed augmented earpeadi tare of Navy .C 932,601 Any 96,152 Total ismer, he 1158-9 .. £1,027,763 Now, considering that we have a great rebellion raging in India; a war, censured by the House of Commons, still prosecuted in China; a state of re lations not of the most agreeable character with the Government of France —an increase of one million sterling for the Navy and the Army is perhaps lees than most people expected; and will not in itself, it may be presumed, interfere with that gradual subsidence of taxation which, if not interrupted, ought to give very substantial relief to taxpayers and the Treasury in 1880. But, although much greater simplicity and unity have been introduced into these estimates of late years, it is to be observed that the Army Estimates do not, as now framed, include what at present is a heavy item of our military expenditure, the charge for the Militia daring 1838-9. The reason of course is the consti tutional one,that the Militia being a Parliamentary, and not a Royal force, the Estimates for the Militia are nominally prepared by a committee of the House of Commons, not by the Minister of the Crown. Legally and formally this is the case; but substantially and practically the Militia Estimates are as much the work of the War-office as the Army Estimate* ; and, until the country is made acquainted with the intentions of the Government as to the Militia, and until the House of Commons has bad laid before it the proposed expenditure on that force, we have not the advantage of knowing the full military policy of the Cabinet, which may, after all, involve the nation in a much greater increase of ex penditure on our land !brae than that which appears on the Army Estimates, via., 93,1621. We must wait until we have the Militia Estimate before we can speak with any certainty on that point. In the year 1868-9 Lord PALMERSTON'S Govern ment proposes that the British people should, by its representatives in the House of Commons, grant the Crown— For the Navy £9,140,127 Far the Army, eidosive of Militia 11,638,387 For Nary sad Army £20,678,514 An immense sum ; but not all. For the Militia can hardly cost much lees next year than another mil lion. So that we shall not probably be far wrong in speaking of the Military Expenditure of 1868-9, payable out of British taxation, as 21,600,0004 Of this enormous expenditure, part is for effective, part for non-effective services. The figures repre senting this important distinction stand thus: Iffectlva Non-Bimini Sorrier. Sordoni. Army Nary These two great branches of the service, there fore, impose a dead weight oa the public resources next year of 3,574,6881.; and the tendency of a war like policy is of coons to increase in a permanent form this heavy item ; for while peace enables the Goverumeat to propose diminished effective ser vices, it has no each influence on the Army and Navy deed weight. Well, then, what is it we are to get for this immense expenditure of 20,878,5141. io the year 1858-9? Let nee take the Army first ; for in that berries the country just now most deeply eaneenied. The Estimate for it is 11,638,3871. Now, in the current year, the Rome of Com mons was asked for and voted 118,796 men, of which 8,700 consisted of West India Regiments and Colonial corps. For the service of next year the Home %hi be asked to vote 130,135 men. The pro posed increase of the Army to be paid for by the British people is, therefore, only some 3,000. Of this increase, 1,200 belong to the Cavalry of the Line, 600 to the Foot Artillery, and 700 to the Foot Oneida. The Line will remain mach the same in nominal strength in 1868-9 that it did in the Esti mates for the year 1837-B—namely, 78,504 of all ranks. It must not, however, for a moment be supposed that the Quern's Land Forces in 1838-9 are in tended to consist of only 130,133 men of all ranks. That ie only the number which the House of Com mas will be asked to vote, and which, if voted, the British people will have to pay for. That number is Azad on by the Cabinet as necessary for domestic, colonial, and imperial purposes, and for the preser vation of the balance of European power, without rehrence to the necessities of India. To it we must add the Qc sues Forms in India, which are not voted by Parliament, and which are not paid for by the British people, before we can get at the proposed strength of t h e Royal Army for 1838-9. In the &donates for 1837.8 the number of Quzzo's beep en the East lodise Establishment was 30,197 af all ranks, and 2,612 hones. In the Estimates for 1838-9 it is proposed that that force shall be 92,730 men of all rank', and 10,181 hones, Here, then, we hare an aagmentsd toes of 61433 nisei and 7,369 hones, for which Indian, act English, taxation will Aare to provide. New, if we add the number of the Quzz6's troops proposed to be kept in India in 18369 to the slumber which Parliament wil► be asked to vote, the nal strength of the Qtrzait's L i m Flrfai mattered. wet the whole unpin (92,736 ja THE EXPRES:4, TUESDAY EV India, and 130,135 out of India) will be 222,871. This ' h not an Army at all equal in numerical forms to the armies of the Continent of Europe; bat it is a fares which for efficiency, variety of service, for encbtranes of hardships, for valour and hehism, has ne►er been surpassed in the world's history. It is, perhaps, the largest Royal Army ever pos sessed by the Crown in a state of European peace. Yet, large as it is, it does not byany means exhaust the military force of this country ; for to it we must add the Militia embodied and to be kept embodied during the year 1858.9; and as we can hardly put this down at less than 30,000 men, the total military strength of this country (exclusively of what still remains of the native armies of India) will certainly, on paper at least, reach 250,000. What may be the total cost of this Army to the people of England and of India, is a question well worth ascertaining before entering on a consideration of the Army Estimates for 1868-9. The practical question of primary importance arisingout of these Estimates is, whether under all cir cumstances the increase of 3,000 men for the QUEEN'S Army, voted by Parliament, is too large ? On that point there can, we think, be no doubt that it is not too great. The doubt, if any, is rather whether, with the prospect of prolonged hostilities in India, of a continued drain on our military resources, and of a complete change of military policy impending over India, an increase of only 3,000 be sufficient in the present state of Europe. It is true that Lord PANMC RE may appeal to the large Militia reserve' ' en which he can fall back ; but it is a reserve on which, IS compared with the QUEEN'S troops, too much reliance must not be placed. From the force of circumstances, over which this country has no control, the Anglo-French alliance is gradually ceasiug to be a security on which it would be safe to rest with too implicit a confidence. There is in France an enormous military force, which is more and more dominating over the policy, acid wielding the destinies', of our neighbours. That army has already gnashed its teeth at England. Even those, therefore, who are least given to alarm must admit that it is our duty to be reasonably, not exaggeratedly, prepared for self defence. When we reflect, too, that 9,000 of the 30,000 men to be voted consist of colonial corps of no value whatever to Europe, when we consider the immense colonial demands for Imperial protec• tion, and the large reserve we must necessarily keep in hand for Indian requirements, it must at least be admitted that an increase of 3,000 men does not err on the side of excess. But quite admitting that the increase in men is not objectionable, it by no means follows that the expenditure proposed br 1868-9 is to be approved of ; and when we find an army of only 130,000 men oosting eleven millions and a half sterling, the great problem for the Haase of Commons to solve is how to get more for that enormous sum of money. But to look at the rate of expenditure proposed, economy in this respect appears hopeless. Under almost every head the projected expenditure of 1868-9 is in excess of that of 1857-8. Wages of artificers and labourers have to cost 206,4491. more ; clothing, 270,8901. ; provisions, 125,7241. ; bricks and mortar, 130,8581. ; fortifications and warlike stores nearly 100,0001, more ; and, if the pay and allowances of the Land Forces appear to be less, it is only because there was • saving in the year 1867-8 which is carried to ac count, and from the larger payments to be received at home from the East India Company. The present, we shall of course be told, is not • fitting time for a Committee to examine and report on the Army Estimates ; but this is certain, that if, on the next period of financial pressure on the country, advantage is not taken to put a stop to in effective military expenditure, our new-born military ardour will half ruin the nation before it exhausts its force. eDe Court.

VERNON SMITH ON LNDIAN GO VERNMENT. Some curiosity has been expressed as to the line likely to be taken in the pending debate by the Pre sident of the Board of Control. The following ex tract from the speech of the right hon. gentleman, in 1833, when opposing the cleave of the India Bill which empowered the crown to nominate six direc tors, may throw some light on the subject : " He (Mr. V. Smith) was most decidedly in favour of tke system of a mixed government. It was his firm conviction that the present double system of government had contributed most materially to the quiet and happiness of oar Indian empire. If hon. gentlemen compared the condition of the abori ginals of that empire with those of any of our colo nies, they would find that the condition of the former was infinitely superior to that of the latter." Still it is possible that on this point Mr. Smith may have changed his opinion. There is one opinion, however, among those which he expressed in 18.53, to which he doubtless clings with the fidelity of • martyr " The President of the Board of Control did not fill that office in the cabinet which he ought to do. He did not mean that he ought to be a secretary of state, because there would be difficulty about a secretary of state issuing orders to the Court of Directors, which was a very sufficient reason for not making that change. But he would increase his salary."

The toreit-light procession of university students, which took place last night through the streets of Berlin, in honour of the Prince and Princess Frederick William, was a magnificent sight. More than a thousand youths were there singing patriotic songs, and a committee of their number was very graciously received by the royal couple at the palace. The procession was followed by a grand nocturnal fits amongst the students. Toasts were given to the Ring, to the Prince of Prussia, to the young married pair, and to German unity. A collection made on behalf of the dismissed functionaries of Schleswig- Holstein produced a considerable sum, THE PRINCIPALITIES. " The reports of the members of the international commission of Bucharest," says a Vienna letter in the Cologne Gonnts, " are looked for with consider able anxiety. It is affirmed that the French com missioner has proposed a constitutional form of go vernment, and that Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia ap prove of his views. On the contrary, Austria and the Porte are of opinion that the constitutional form should not be insisted on. England is said to admit the French views, but with some modifications. Opinions differ likewise on the point of hereditary right for the prince at the head of the government. Persons who are well informed think that in the end a hospodar for life will be decided on." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (711011 011111 OWN PARIS, MONDAY EVININO. The French journals do not contain a line of co m ment upon M. de Moray's report upon the mea sures of public safety, and in the absence of any as sistance from those who ought to be the legitimate exponents of public opinion, it is not easy to ascer tain what is generally thought of it in this country. The Moniteur states that the reading of the report was frequently interrupted by vehement marks of approbation, and therefore we have official grounds for assuming that the idea of creating large catego ries of citizens in every department who may be transported for life not only without trial, but without so much as the allegation against them of any specific offence, is highly popular with the re presentatives of the people. The rules and regula tions of the present French legislature are a multi. ignorata, and by no means ab omnibus querencle ; in fact, the public is in a state of utter forgetfulness and indifference with respect to them. But it may not be uninteresting for the historical student to be reminded that among the many inge nious devices for emasculating the Corps Legialatif was one which prohibited the mem ben from making any demonstrations either of approbation or disapprobation. The violation of this rule in favour of a government project is now officially sanctioned by the Moniteur ; but if when M. Emilfi Olivier makes his speech against the measure next Thursday any deputies should cheer him, Count de Morny will sternly call them to order. " Two weights and two measures" is now a recognised doctrine. There is a curious discrepancy between the late article in the Moniteur attributed to an exalted pen, and M. de Moray's report. The first says that the repressive measures were long ago conceived in the mind of the Emperor, and were neither " inspired nor aggravated" by the crime of the 14th of January. The President of the Corps Legislatif, on the contrary, rounds the opening sentence of his exordium by asserting that the measures were " born and drawn up" (sees et elabories) under the influ ence of that event. Shakspeare was no caricaturist when he represented courtiers as ready to swear that a thing was at once like a whale or a weasel ; and of course the right thing is to take both these statements to be strictly accurate. It is worthy of remark, that Lord Palmenton's answer to Mr. Stirling is not noticed by the Moniteur, and is (by order) mutilated in all the other journals. The explanation given by the English minister of the affair of the legacy to Cant Won, was never heard of in France. The (mermen belief was that the legacy had been paid by the present government. At all events the government prefers that the French people should continue under that impression, than that " aberra tion of mind" should be associated with the name of a Napoleon. M. Pietri, the prefect of police, has suddenly gone to Marseilles. M. Jules Martinet, the late editor of the Ordre, whose sad ease I mentioned a few days since, has died at the Charenton Lunatic Asylum.

A RAILWAY TEAM STOPPED BY BRIGANDS.— We read in the Onsrrier d' Italia Between acme and Ft•sesd is a railway about nine miles long. A considerable number of persons went the other day to a fete at Frascati, the ladies being dressed in their richest garments, and wear ing their costliest jewellery. This was all known to the brigands. Accordingly, they seized the officers who occu pied the intermediate elation in the midst of the de serted country, and proceeded to hotel the red flag, es • signal to stop. The engineer, fearing something was en the line, brought the engine to a dead stand, when the robbers instantly laid hold of the travellers and coolly plundered them, doing them, however, no other injury. Up to this time we had fancied that railways would put an end to this sort of adventure; but the foregoing stroke, performed at the very gates of Rome, shows that we were too sanguine. Instead of robbing some ten or a dozen passengers in a diligence, the brigands now take a hundred in one haul, Of coarse the more productive this peculiar branch of industry becomes in the Roman States, the greater will be the num bers of those who follow it."

Be asserts that he subsequently received from members of Mr. Bachanan's ca binet, similar sainzekoes ; end that special pains were taken by the administration to induce him to rely upon the active sym pathy and effective aid of the government.
