Add to this the number of customs &cies which have been reduced and abolished sines 1828. The iraproventents made of late years in oar system of customs duties have enabled us to derive an increased revenue from diminished rates. Is the stamp there bee been no improvement by reducing or re-adjusting the rates, and the consequence is that the pose revenue from this source (hackney coach lioenoes, &0., included), which, in the four years end ing 1831, averaged about 7,300,0001., averaged in the four years ending 1847, about 7,300,000 k The expanded business of the country has produced no effect on this branch of the revenue. The late hour at which these returns have reached us, precludes a more minute examination at present ; but there is one consideration connected with them which does not admit of being deferred. The grow revenue of 1828 was fifty-five millions and a halt; the gross revenue of 1847 wu rather more than fifty-six millions. Thel total expenditure of 1828 was rather more than fifty-six minims; the total expenditure of 1847 (deducting the million and a half spent in relieving Irish dis tress), was little lees than fifty-eight millions. The ministers of 1847 had a larger revenue to dispose of than the ministers of 1828 ; the charge of the debt has been reduced in the interim by a million ; the civil list has been reduced from upwards of a million to less than four handfed thousand ; and yet the ex penditure of the year 1847 exceeds that of 1828 far more than its revenue. With an income of fifty-five millions and a half the ministers of 1828 had au ex am of expenditure of eight hundred thousand ; with a revenue of upwards of fifty-six millions the mivis tars of 1847 had an excess of expenditure of a million and a half, the extraordinary supplies for Ireland not included. The tendency of all governments is to spend up to and in emcee' of their income. To reduce taxa tion before contracting expenditure is to begin at the wrong end ; to readjust taxation simply with a view to levy a larger income by lower rates is to encourage extravagance. Trade has been relieved by an improved tariff, and yet the customs yield a larger Revenue. l'ilanutactures have been relieved at the expense of reducing the excise revenue by some six millions. But due care has not been taken to curtail expenditure, and the consequence is, that for the six millions of excise duties taken off our shoulders we have had an income tax of five millions and a half laid on, and still ministers cannot make ends meet. THE most rational and philanthropic act that diplo mscy could do would certainly be an act of suicide, an act putting an end to its purpose and profession, and undoing all that it hes been doing for these many hundred years. The progress of the age indeed almost calls for this. The lamentable and ridiculous efforts which diplomacy in all countries has of late been making to give itself importance, and to do something, whilst persons and events went on alike regardless and contemptuous of diplomatic stir, are indeed sufficient symptoms that the science, as it stands, is effete. The first essays of European diplomacy were alli ances of the powerful to despoil the weak, with the view of furthering personal or dynastic interests. which produced the more noble counter alliances of the weak against the strong. The seventeenth century introduced a great principle to struggle for, that of religious freedom. Popular diplomacy labcured for this, whilst that of great empires was employed either to crush it, or to convert it, as France did, to selfish aggrandisement. In the eighteenth century religion ceased to be so prominent a political motive. Zeal died away, or had worn itself down to mutual tolerance by the experiment of past sufferings. The nineteenth century brought another principle, that of internal freedom, of the rights and influence lof the non-aristocratic classes. Wars and quar rels, which were at first exclusively for princely I interests, then for religious tenets, in the eighteenth century were more for national aggrandisement, have come in our day to be waged almost exclusively fur the advancement of the popular and representative principle, or of the despotic and aristocratic system. No power in Europe, whatever its opportuniti.e, seems now to care or look for aggrandisement. Se curity at home, and not so much from the arms as from the politic al principles of its neighbours, seems the predominant idea with all governments. In this state of things a very large and influential body of English citizens hive formed an association for the furtherance and establishment of the principle of peace. The first step to such an accomplishment has already been taken by the law of non-interven tioe, which is already aumitted in theory by all go veroments, and only requires the unanimous support of public opinion throughout the world to enforce it in practice. Were the principles of non-intervention fully established, all wars for the furtherance or pre vention of political ce• religious forms or opinions in neighbouring countries would cease ; and even op pressed people would profit by it. For as it is, they are tempted to insurrection and resistance with out sufficient preparation or resources, because they mint upon foreign aid, which is given or refused from caprice or from •he wants and interests of the powerful states, the weaker ones being left almost in all cases, and especially at present, to be the victim and the dupe. The wh , ild secret of Italian and of Spanish misery, anarchy, and civil war lies in the dependence of those countries on foreign sympathy and succour, instead of trusting to their own good sense and independent exertions. The first and chief preservative of peace at the pre sent time is this law of non-intervention. But the Peace Association looks farther, and seeks to lay foundations for the future avoidance of war in all cases, and this by means of the introduction of arbi tration clauses into treaLies._ Th's would indeed prove a great preventive of war, and of that which was the most fertile source of it, difference about frontiers and territorial aggrandisement. England, to be sure, is not very seriously implicated with European countries in matters of delimitation, especially now that the great I courts themselves set the example of tearing asunder the provisions of the treaty of Vienna, and of modifying them, so as to suit their pleasure or convenience. To England, however, it would be mo,t important to have such a stipulation inserted in its treaties with the United States. It would, in fact, make the two nations one, and place En!!under the guarantee of the public opini on o f It cause of quarrel remain between the United States and us, on the score of Canada, who is there that does not feel, that the struggle for that coun try must be carried on by England and by the United States, in trying which shall perfec , the best system of government in every respect, in cheapness, fairness, security, and in all the qualities which attach a popula tioc ? If our government of Canada dots not keep pace in this with the government of the States, what num ber of guns and soldiers can supply our inferiority ? Not a million. In America and in every other part of the globe, we must henceforth contend in the arts of peace. The chief place in which we want general ship is in our legislative campaigns. The introduction of arbitration clauses into all treaties is a most excellent, most philanthropic, and at the same time a moat practical idea. And the pre sent moment is most opportune for it ; for we kn not a government in Europe likely to repudiate it. For none, as we have said, is bent on territorial aggrandisement. That of France continues eminently forbearant anu pacific, and not merely in the meetings of its new cabinet ; but, even in those of its old BONA PARTE soldiers, of which we read a graphic account lately, war is eschewed as something utterly undesirable and out of date. With respect to ourselves, we are still unfortunately implicated more or less by stupid and antiquated treaties, having really no reference to the present state of Europe. Oar guarantees of the mentenanee of certain dynasties, as in Spain and Portugal, our being appealed to by . virtue of treaties concluded centuries back, to maintain Denmark in possession of Schleswig, for example : all these superannuated en gagements ought to be revised, and our diplomacy re formed, like our law, by the erasure of the obsolete, the iniquitous, the illiberal, and the abated. We trust., the Peace Association will follow up its aims in this respect, and that it will agitate, if such a word can be appied to the Cnristian efforts of the Society of Friends, and of those who politically sympathise with them, for the puttirg au cu d t o th e disgraceful sys tem of expending one-half or one-third of a nation's revenue in scientific preparations for cutting the throats of its neighbours and its fellow-men. WE must confess t' - at we attacked the adm7uistra tion of the orphan school's with much reluctance, and that, notwithstanding a deep conviet;on that they did not fulfil the duty whic.l their liege front.' and prJ spectuses announced, still, our atm wan to warn rather than hurt, to reform heir auperstructure in stead of disturbing the foundations. We ate etiil in hope that our strictures have had good effect, and if in our eagerness to reform we have produced any uncharitable consequences, we are really sorry, not for the feet, but for the necessity. Among the rap-taps which startle people over their breakfast chocolate and morning newspaper at this auspicious and bill-delivering season, by no means the least frequent are those of the "collectors." What excuses there are about that "annual guinea." " Say we're engaged ;" " request him to call spill ;" " well send an order ." or, " we're confident it's paid." One might really almost fancy, after all, that these unhappy collectors were not overpaid, seeing how their patience must be tried and what they have to bear. We have heard some stories lately of the Orphan Society oollectors having found their task more diffi cult than ever. " It's of no we," said one of them emphatically to the bland secretary the other day— " that confounded Daily News r " What, sir," said an old subscriber, " after such daylight has been thrown upon your system—your elections, and your inmates—your vote•borrowing, and year expendi ture in salaries—surely you do not venture to call on us again r Well, having brought the societies to this point, will they take the friendly advice we offer to them? Let them look over what has been said of them in a calm, rational, and dispassionate spirit. Let them decide whether the abuses assailed do not require reformation. Let them candidly and fairly set about the work of amendment, and we will be among the first to recognise it when we meet with it. Some of these societies, we know, it would be difficult to reform ; from others we can expect and hope for nothing : bat certain among the best conducted of them we may hope to have brought to a sense of what is right to themselves, and due from them to the public. %e address these, therefore, kindly and charitably, and without anger, as befits the time, and we hope they may profit by our warnings and admonitions. Amongst the societies which have shown some indi cation of being brought to a due sense of the error of its ways is the London Orphan Asylum. This insti tution we always referred to as among the most re spectable of the lot, although it was net without the faults of principle common to its class. The directors of the LondonOmhanAsylum hence find it necessary to issue a special address to their subscribers and friends. We have pleasure in referring to it as drawn up io a very proper spirit. It is far trom being a complete, or, to our minds, a satisfactory document, but if it does not inset our objections, it at any rate attempts no defence of the system, and that is saying something iu its favour. The managers address themselves to two points. First, they say "it is asserted that we are extravagant, and it is supposed we are rich." They deny the extravagance—but they prove it. The extrava gance of which we complained, as regarded this society specially, was the extravagance of the expenses of management as contradietin- Relished from the outlay on the children they support. We quote from an article in the Express of November 3: The London Orphan AsTlum had an income last year of 10,4831. Its expenditure in housekeepim!, clothing, outfit., and rewards for children, was 8,1781.; in rent and taxes, furniture, printing, advertisements, anniversary dinner, salaries, poundage, law charges and repairs, 4,0961. ; or no less than two-thirds of the money espende.i on the orphan.. Of this large proportion it was, at the same time, remarked that no less than 1,2631. was expended in " salaries and wages," and 2841. more in " collector's poundage." The managers of the asylum take the trouble to prove the extravagance of these charges for us in another way. They take the expenditure of the establishment in each year, from 1836 to 1847, and show the average annual outlay per child ender each of the various h-ads of expenditure. In the year 1847 it. appears that there yru an extra outlay of 1,5501. in repairs and alterations ; so that, in fair-' ness to the asylum, we are obliged to take the expen-1 diture of 1846 to illustrate the case. Now, in 1846 there were 354 children in the school, and the ex penditure upon them was 8,6591., or an average of about 241. per child. How do you suppose the com mittee proportion this ? We take their own figures Provisions, fuel, and washing, per child £ll 6 9 Clothinc ditto Salaries and wages, ditto Repairs and all other expenses, ditto 4 5 10 Outfits and reward, 1 14 9 So that whilst the absolute maintenance of these children coats only 141. per head per annum, clothing included, each child they maintain costa the public no less than 41. a year for salaries to the officers of the asylum. This is on a par with the item in the Army Estimates, of 41. a year for a soldier's clothes, and ten shillings a year to the colonel for merely ordering them. Then as to their funded property : 16,760/. is the sum this asylum his accumulated in the Three and Three-and-a-Half per Cents. To meet this the mana gers say, lachrymosely, that "their annual income, arising from funded property, does not exceed 1. 6001. per annum, whilst the board have to depend for the remainder of their expenditure, about 7,0001., on voluntary support." They seem absolutely to speak of voluntary support as a misfortune. And yet, if we turn to their reports, " voluntary support " is the very thing of all others they profess to rely upon, and make a boast of being subject to. " Supported by voluntary contributions." Why, in these words is embodied the great claim of all those societies. The system of funding charitable money, we do not hesitate to describe u most vicious when carried to excess. There is one of these Orphan Asylums that has got no less than 96,0001. in " the several public funds," deriving an income of 3,0001. per annum from the dividends. Yet this institution has only 130 children, or thereabouts, upon its books! Another not altogether dissimilar society derived last year 4,9101. from interest upon funded property, representing at 5 per cent, nearly 100,0001., and at 3 per cent. somewhere about 150,0001., which probably is nearly the real amount of this society's assets. These are both very old institutions and the London Orphan Asylum is only in its 36th year. And now with their " appeal to their sub scribers and friends," the managers of the London Orphan Asylum send round their "election list for January, 1849." In large capital letters they tell ns that 13 girls and 17 boys are to be then elected. And from among how many candidates? No less than one hundred and forty-four! We shall not, however, enter more into these accounts, but allow the societies to gather in their annual contributions in peace. Neither would we pass for enemies of such institutions. No civilised country could remain under the stigma of being without asylums for orphans. The benevolent, how ever, seeing these spacious and well-supported struc tures, sit down and deem that their duty as rich people towards the destitute orphan, is performed by the handing in of a subscription. Their duty is not performed, unless this charity goes to really destitute orphans, and to them in the largest proportion, not being spent in salaries, miscellanies, or architecture, nor yet vested is funds for the secure maintenance of the earp/fiyAs rather than of the ob;e.ts of the charity :—and again, an orphan asylum is not a national establishment, if it is merely one in which the rich subscriber can thrust the child or even the orphan of his well provided servant. Such institutions should be to aid poverty, not to eke out already comfortable fortunes. In orphan schools, too, there should be a peculiar and intelligent system of education. In those schools there is no paternal prejudice to combat ; and highly interesting and useful experiments might be made in that science of education which it is our disgrace to leave in perpetual infancy. In most of these schools the education is mere routine, andyet in no school could the system of emulation and of awarding trades, ac cording to aptness and proficiency, and in harmony with the qualities and propensities of the child, be so perfectly or fairly tried as in an orphan school. At pre sent, however, these schools are mere gardens for human vegetables, neither boys nor girls very distin guishable from the cabbages they devour. NAPLES, Dec. 27. As the affairs of Sicily take a prominent part in diplomatic negotiations just now, I shall communicate in the first place what has transpired since I last wrote regarding the island. I mentioned some time sines that, the Palermitan govern ment nad endeavoured to negotiate a loan with the French ; the attempt, however, failed; the French would not advance a farthing; and it then became a matter of serious anxiety to decide what was to be done. Liabilities, it is understood, had heen-theurred in England, and certain steamers ordered, which would not move unless touched by the fairy wand of i Sicilian ounces. The provisional government immediately laid the whole case before parliament, and demanded counsel bow to act, and the necessary authority. Where upon the parliament vo t e d unan i mous l y a forced loan, to be raised in the country generally. The sum fixed on was a mil.ion and • half of ounces, and the time given for raising it was determined at three days. Strange to say that within the time 1,000,000 ounces were raised. The exchange on London rose immediately from 579 to 600 and it was expected shortly to be up at 630 All the bills on England that could be Wand were bought up directly, and ----- 100,000 mance' w, re s a nt off t o L on d on b y the --...... p ~t sees steamer the Rolland.

Afters.% W mr. par & LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 6. THE revenue returns for the year and quarter which ended yesterday, will be found elsewhere in this day's publication. They are gratifying in so far as the corroborate the accounts of reviving prosperity which reach us from the manufacturinx districts, and the great emporiums of commerce. But they afford no pretext for relaxation in the struggle which has been commenced to enforce reductions in the public expen diture as the only means of obtaining alleviations of the burthen of taxation. Under the head of ordinary revenue there appears an increase in the returns of 1848, as compared with those of 1847, of 1,019,4561. upon certain items, counteracted by a decrease upon others of 1,143,7511. The revenue from ordinary sonnies in 1848 Las been lees by 124,2951. than in 1847. The increase of 533,9371. on the year, paraded in the official return', is cleaved solely from the casual revenue. There is an increase of 539,3051. in China Money, of which the last instalment has Iren paid ; there is an increase of 268,7421. in imprest and other moneys; and there is a decrease of 149,7951. in repay ments of advances. lied it not been for the Chinese windfall, the revenue of 1848, both from ordinary and from casual sources, would have actually been lees than that of 1847 by 5,3481. And to prevent the decrease being still greater the Globe of last night in forms us that recourse had been had to a sale of stores, the proceeds of which figure under the title of "other monies." Financiers have no title to rely, in their estimates for next year, on the elasticity of the public revenue. The increase in the ordinary revenue, with the exception of the trifling increase under the bead of crown lands—for which we have probably to thank the badgering Lord DUNCAN has given tLe commis sioners—comes exclusively from the customs and excise. In the former there is an increase of 914,0621. on the year; in the latter of 101,3941. Both in the customs and excise the improvement is perceptible for the two last quarters. This warrants a belief that the increased activity in trade and ma nufactures which is now proclaimed on all hands will be Listing as it has been gradual. The items of ordinaiy revenue in which the returns show a decrease on the year are stain'. a, t axes , pro perty tax. pest-office, and mLoellaneous. The de crease in the two last-mentioned is of trifling amount, and may be passed over as one of those oscillating movements which will occasionally recur. In taxes there is an increase on the quarter which would seem to indicate that the improvement already visible in the excise and customs is begining to extend to them. The decrease in the property-tax returns is probably owing to the sharp practice in collection of the pre ceding year. But the decrease in the stamps is a more serious consideration. It amounts to no leas than 848,6981., and is still going on, for no the quarter also there is a decrease of 92,2871. The decrease on the year in the grass revenue from stamps cannot fall much short of 900,0001., and the average gross revenue from this source does not exceed seven millions and a half. The receipts from stamps ia 1848 have been less by one. eighth than they were in 1847. The extraordinary circumstances of the year may in part account for this, but it must also be kept in mind that this head of revenue has of late years been the least elastic of any. In 1828 the gross income from cuss•oms duties was a trifle less than twenty millions. In 1844 the gross income from customs duties will not Lill much, it anything, below twenty -three millio. e. The year 1826 was a fair average year, the year 1848 has been Cbt Court. _ - WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The Dachesa of Cambridge end the Prisms Mary took leave of her Majesty and dr Priem, and returned to Hew this morning.
