LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 31. Kt. 'ENT have taught ue that SDO Cher crisis in the military affairs of the Gaited States is imminent, and General M'Ciiniew's address to his army now conies to define and in tensify the impression. The army of the Potomac, u described by its General, is not like the army which fought at Bull Run, but is "a real army " sot only a collection of brave men, but an organized and disciplined force. The tone of General BiTtsitis'i address is good, better, indeed, than its composition, which straggles more than we hope the battalions of the gal lant author will do. It is worthy of notice that the military spirit is powerfully appealed to, while political references are wholly avoided. A legiti mate confidence pervades the whole, and is not diminished by a fair acknowledgment of the quali ties of the enemy. The address is now at the mercy of events, and very soon success will make it a proud historical document, or failure, a witness against an army which, raised in the name of patriotism, and enjoying unparalleled advantages, fell short of its vocation. THE arrangements for the opening of the Inter national Exhibition are now published. Public attention will first tix on that part of them ren dered necessary by the distressful absence of her Majesty the QUBBN. Her Miassry is to be re presented by his Royal Highness the Gamut 001RHANDING-111-CHIRF, the Archbishop of CATEZR RORY, the Loan CHANCILLOS, the Earl of DRAW, and Viscount PLLMERRTOX. We do not think this arrangement will be satisfactory to the pub lic, and until we see reason to change the opinion we shall not believe that it is the best that could have been made. The inventor of this programme appears to have thought that next to the pleasure of seeing the BOVRRFI443I would be that of beholding our most glorious Constitution in Church and State, on its legs, and marching tingly down the nave. But their old faces and old feathers, old lawn, old horsehair, and old garters, very well as they are in their way, are not what people want to see on such an occasion. We do not object to see respectable clothes-bearers at proper times, and to be reminded by them of the public spirit of the Horse Guards, the freedom guarded by the Ecclesiastical Courts, the amenities of the Woolsack, and the pretty " arms" by which Whig and Tory Leaders have vir tually converted rivalry into partnership. But these people cannot represent the Quest( in the least of those attributes about which people think on such an occasion as this. Was there no one near the Throne who could have shed over the ceremonial something of the dignity and the graciousness which have made the Queer's per sonal public appearances events never to be forgotten f If so, our great loss is even greater than we had supposed. SE% CRAG foreign Powers which have long been covetously regarding our money-heaps are fired by the success of the Turk, and betray an intention of plunging into the mar ket with unusual speed. We will not refer to Russia, which of course wants money, nor to Austria, which is of course utterly hopeless of getting any, nor to France, which has just suc ceeded, by means whereof the Government ought to be ashamed, in squeezing a loan of a few millions out of a reluctant market, at the cost of an immense addition to the capital of the national debt. Putting thew, on one side, we End that Peru, Egypt, and Venezuela are running a race with each other, with a view to see which can get tint inside the doors of our mosey market This haste is really scarcely decent, for in such large matters two customers can hardly be served simultaneously. It would be something unprece dented to have two foreign loan lists open at once. These uew applicants might at least give the Turk time to finish his business and get out at the op posite door. Perhaps they will be better inclined to act upon the advice when it can be proved to be to their interest to do so. There are a large number of speculative house', pos sessim: considerable available means, which make a practice of taking part in nearly every operation of the sort, and which, having their at tention monopolized with the Turkish Loan, are unable to entertain anything further at the mo ment. Resides, some consideration is due to the capacity of the market. Unless moderation and discrimination an exercised in tho supply of new securities, the end will be that the prospect of profit will be impaired as regards every one of them. In the interest of British trade, which has at least the first claim upon our money market, and in the permanent interest of that market itself, the financial public may be usefully advised at the pre sent juncture, when foreign loanmongera are so busy, to scan more narrowly than usual the terms and conditions of each of the stocks offered. Their mere number calls for tbe exercise of unusual caution, for although a Peruvian stock is not a Turkish one, and an Egyptian stook may be considered different from either, they We all dealt in in one and the same market, and the prices are influenced by the same conditions. At Covent-garden beans may be dear and peas cheap, but if all the market gardeners of Hammersmith hurry in to sell all their produce in • day, beans and peas, cabbages and cauliflowers will all go down in price together. If our loan contractors do not take care, they will over-do the market, and pro duce a degree of satiety of the public palate which may cause them much disappointment. The market deserve, at least to have a larger " eon- " ideration" for entertaining the offais of Peen, when it sees the string of borrowarp al her bock who are only waiting to take id ' dace• They' may walk up, of course, but one at a time if there be any disturbance of order, the gentle.. wee of the Stock Exchange ought to constitute themayin its guardians. Meanwhile we can only advise the monied,publio to look on vigilantly, and not to be in too great a hurry, for we prophesy with the utmost confidence that, if they will only wait a little while, they will have an ample choice, and plenty of securities to *elect from. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, l3 'ROO FROM P 4 (non sea owe coasssrososrrd • - PARIS, Sunnis' tisons6. 4 A long debate took place in the Senate WI night on some petitions for the repeal of the usury laws. M. Michel Chevalier very ably marshalled forth all the well-known arguments in Jeremy Bentham's " Defenoe of Usury ;" which celebrated ' work, by the way, he represented as being a piracy from the French finance minister Turgot. He dwelt upon the special absurdity of the Bank of France being authorised to lend, as it has done, at 10 per cont. and upwards, while private individuals could not lawfully take more than 6 per cent, and insisted upon the example of England. M. Dupin made a thoroughly retrograde speech, in which he quoted Cato and the laws of ancient Rome ; but he was reminded by K Pomade de la Roquette, the ex-finance minister, that, although a creditor might take 8 or 10 per cent. from his debtor, he mould not at the present day put him in irons or sell him to slavery, and that Cato's remarks about usury were altogether in applicable. K Dupin's only sensible objection was that it would be time enough for the Senate to commit themselves in so serious a matter when a bill should be brought before them, and that there was no occasion for them to express a gratuitous opinion on a petition. Acting on this consideration, the Senate voted the order of the day upon the ques tion of usury in general ; but they referred to a oom mittoo a petition for the abolition of the usury laws as affecting commercial people. The Patric to-night, referring to the severe cri ticisms which its article about K de Lavalette has met with, says, "It is possible that M. de Lava lette's presence in Paris may have other causes besides those which we have mentioned ; but it does not appear to us opportune to inquire into them at present." This curious remands may, I think, be fairly taken, under the surrounding cir cumstances, as an admission that there are serious differences between K de Lavalette and General de Goyou. General Klapka writes to the Prase from Turin to repudiate any notion of making a king of "the French gentleman, Prince Crony, of Hungary." The Hungarian patriots will be happy, when the decisive moment comes, to receive the generous support of the prince and his friends ; but if ever the family traditions of the house of Crony should be used by "presumptuous friends or malicious enemies" as an excuse for setting up the "chival rous old man" as a pretender, the Hungarian emi gration will unanimously protest, and appeal to his own loyalty, with the conviction that they will not appeal in vain. FARM SATMIDAT &wan. There was much heaitation at the Bourse to-day, and the operations for the approaching settlement led to many fluctuations. Ultimately the Rents gave way, falling 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, the last prices being 69.66 and 69.60. The Four and-a-Half fell 20c., the last quotation being 97.30, which fi gure offers small temptation to M. Fou l to redeem his threat to pay off what remains of that stook at par. Mobilier fell 1.25. The Italian loan rose 10c. In the railway market the principal feature was a fall of 13.75 in Southern, owing to a decision by a casting vote of eight to seven of the council of bridges and highways in favour of grant ing the new line from Cette to Marseilles to the Lyons Company instead of to the Southern. The verdict of the council is not necessarily binding upon the minister, but in practice it is generally followed. Some think, however, that the Southern Company would be better without the line than with it. The Orleans Railway fell 6.25, Western 3.75, and Eastern 1.25. Northern and Lyons rose 1.25. M. Mellinet, the newly appointed French consul at Alexandria, was sent for to Paris by telegraph, three days after arriving at his post. No reason for this sudden recall has been made public. Mgr. Franzoni, the archbishop of Turin, who was banished in 1850 for refusing to perform • funeral service for the minister Siocardi, and has ever since been living at Lyons, died there this week, and was buried this morning. Cardinal Bonald, the arch bishop, and the Bishops of Toronto, Valence, and Bailey, attended his funeral. He desired by his will to be buried privately, but the cardinal arch bishop insisted upon having him interred in the nave of the cathedral, among the archbishops of Lyons—until his remains can be removed to his , native land. Mgr. Franzoni was of an old patri cian family of Genoa, and numbers among his ancestry two doges and two cardinals. The ill-conceived Mexican expedition seems to be all at sixes and sevens. It is very currently re ported that the Emperor, being dissatisfied with Admiral Jurien de la Gremlin*, has recalled him, and that General Lebreton, the senator, is to go to Vera Cruz on a special mission. At the same time we hear from Madrid that the Spanish government accuses General Prim of having allowed himself to be circumvented by General Doblado. ebe Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, SUNDAY.

The DEW, thus sums up the doubtful news from Greece : A despatch from Constantinople of March 28 states that I Nauplia hie surrendered, and that those of the leaders who ars not amnestied have taken flight. We have received no confirmation of this news ; but it is nevertheless probeble. There is no point on which the royal troops have not, up to the present time, had the advantage. The insurgents of Bra who got away on board a Onaelc Lloyd's steamer far Therm* proposed, after having delivered the political pri soners maned in that island, to land at Chalois, with the iehabiteate of which they had an understanding. But a war corvette from the Pirms, with 200 troops on board, took the rebel ship without resistance. Order was at oboe restored at Byrn and Thermic The conspirators of Chalcie, learning the failure of the Byes enterprise, kept quiet, sad the adherenta of the plot in the country sear Atha= made an unsuccessful attempt against the capital on the night of the 15th and 18th, which malted oaly in the death of one gendarme. During this time the royal troops before Nauplia carried the outer works, and the insurgent garrison demanded an armistice, and subsequently an amnesty. There is reason to believe that this amities, which was to be of seven days' duration, must have bee. followed by a partial amnesty, and that this incomplete amnesty was deemed suilleient by the bulk of the defenders of Nauplia. Bat an Athens letter of Mara 22, in the dinaphore of Marseilles, gives some details which, ia the absence of fuller information, leave it to be hand that the capitulation may have been as Ineenglete as the amnesty. The town of Neighs is essamanded by Fort Priamidis, in which Lieut. Grim commads, with 200 old soldiers, the most determined of all the rebels, under his orders. The correspondent of the Semaphore think, that these 200 men could hold the fort for a long while against 10,000. Lieut. Grimm pewee for a resolute akar, who would shrink from no extremity. It is mush doubted whe ther he would accept a restricted amnesty ; and he may ) very possibly bombard Nauplia from the heights of his ram ) parts rather than submit to cooditlens which do not salt • him and his oonaranieeein arms.

Two of the most perfect horses that Abd-el- Hailer has been able to find, after a long search, in all Arabia are on their way to Paris as a present to the Emperor from the old chieftain. The announcement is made in the follow ing letter from him to the Minister of Foreign Affairs : " Ever since my residence was fixed at Damascus I have never ceased to look out for stallions for the Emperor's skid, which, in point of purity of blood and those other qualities which my experience and special knowledge enable me to judge of, should come up to the standard of my ideas. Whenever I heard of a stallion among the tribes bounded by Egypt, Irak, and Hodder I never failed to make the most particular inquiries about him. I was long, however, before finding any horse com bining that purity of blood and perfection of form and quali ties which I had set my mind upon. I went myself among the Arab tribes of Nedj and Mesopotamia, at the time when they were in the neighbourhood of Damascus, but could not meet with what I wanted.

In Sumbulpore matters are at last quiet, and Major Rattray, who was commanding the force of military police, has left. The greatest haunt of Tantia Tepee and the rebel cbiefs of Central India in 1858-59 was the Lullut pore jangle. We have intelligence that on the 7th instant Duriaow Sing, the Thakoor outlaw, was killed at his ancestral village al Deoram in this district, by the military polka sod the detachment of the Bereft levy statiosed at the thannah of Murowrs. Hs set fire to his hut so that, according to Rajpoot honour, be and his might perish together. When the flames were somewhat subdued his body was dragged oat, and it was discovered that a bullet in the heed hod killed him. His death will tend greatly to setae this past of the country, which he and other outlaws lave kept in a disturbed state since the mutiny. Only two other Thames DOW remain in outlawry, Davos Sing and Oundrup Sing, a Make of Duriaow. Gradually in Central India sod at Bembolpore, the last relics of the mutineers are being picked up. None but Asiatic free- booters anti mutineers would have so Meg maintained a desperate and hopeless contest. CHINA. We have received our usual despatches in antici pation of the overland mail. News of the death of H.R.B. the Prince Consort had reached the north of China, and produced a profound impression of grief among the British residents. By the same mail our merchants had received intelligence of the Trent outrage. Shanghai, after an interval of quiet, was again endangered. In the Daily Shipping News of Feb. 7 we read : Now that the weather has cleared up and the paths in the neighbourhood becoming passable, we are likely again to be disturbed by the marauding bands of Taiping rebels hovering oo the outskirts of the city and settlement. Yesterday at noon • small body of the insurgents were seen on the Pootuag side of the river nearly oppo. its the French cathedral of Tong -ka-doe. Amongst them were several men on horseback. They were seen *Mocking the harmless inhabitants with span is • most savage manner. These poor people, to save them selves from owe:less slaughter, rushed towards the river, into which msay were plunged headlong. sad several of them drowned. Many of the wounded were saved stsd brought aorose to the catholic cathedral, where they are well tabs oars of by the benevolent padres. After this that but sanguinary demonstration of their pram" thaw blood-thirsty scoundrels disappeared from the river bank. Tinder them circumstances the authorities should be vigilant in the foreign settlement, and our gallant allies on the qui sire at the gates of the city—for it is evident that they meditate an attack before long. It was believed at Shanghai that the precautions taken against attack were ample and certain. THE QUARTERLY REVENUE RETURN& (Pros the Obierver.) The quarterly tables of the revenue will be pub- Belied on Tuesday naseadag. There is, therefore, but one day's more collection to be received before the tables are finally made up. We may not speak with strict accuracy of the results. But enough is known to enable us to mats an approximation to the comparisons between the =urns of the corresponding quarters of last veer and of this, es well as of the respective years themselves. We may state at the outset that the results will be found to be most eatisfeetory, end will exhibit the most =- doubted proofs of the moms of Mr. Gledstene's eoetniereial policy, and will Ass 'imamate the oaleeletioes of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in his last year's estimate of the re sources of the country. To begin with the quarter. The Customs show a decrease on the quarter of some. thing about 100,0001., which is a very small amount in the face of the reductions that were made in the mallet duties. This loot would have been converted into a large gain if it had not been for the diminution of Imports of corn, rum, and tobacco. It is needless to say that the reduction of corn imports is • subject of con gratulation, showing that our own harvest was so much better than the year before. Tobaoso is almost the only one of the great articles of import taxation that has fallen off, and it is to some extent attributable to the blockade of the Southern States of America, and their inability to give • supply, or to take our manufactures in return. If it had not been for the "American difficulty" the Customs would, beyond doubt, have shown • considerable increase • and it is consolatory to find that the deficiency is made up by increased intercourse with other countries. Hops, brandy, tea, and sugar show a greatly increased consumption. In the Excise there will be a gain in the quarter, over the corresponding quarter of last year, of something Wm 170,000&, which is chiefly due to malt and bops—• most favourable symptom—and which more than oounterbalansss the loos of the paper dudes. Stamps show an increase of some 100,0007. on the quarter, attributable to the steady increase of the succession duties, sod also, to some extent, to the activity of internal trade. Taxes will he about 40,0001. boner, owing to the increase of inhabited houses, and to an improved mode of collection. Income-tax will show an increase of 400,0001., which would be matter of some natural surprise in the face of the pay reduction, if it were not accounted for by the collec tion of arrears in the quarter. Ix the Post•o99oe there will be little variation. In Crown Lands the receipts will not vary far from those of last year. In Miscellaneous there will be an increase of 160,0001. on the quarter, which may be accounted for by 'mussed credits from India for payment of Queen's troops, and from other exceptional causes. On the whole quarter the items of increase will be 870,0001. ; loss, 100,0001. Net gain, 770,000/. on the quarter. On the year 1861-1862, just ended, in the Customs the pia will be some 350,0001., chiefly arising from hops, trendy, tea, and sugar--somewhat diminished by losses on corn, tobacco, and Geneva. This is the most satisfactory item in tea.- sews saaeies lac ULU& Wa aeaalre , d•Z >v !ha American loos, or, rather, how greatly it is overbalanced by our increased trade with other countries. The opponents of the French Treaty will be utterly silenced by such figures and facts as these. In the Excise the returns will show the considerable falling off of more than • million, or about 1,100,000/. The chief part of this is, of cows., owing to the repeal of the paper duty, now half • year in account, and the very con siderable amount of drawback to the holders of stock on hand at the time of the repeal There is also a comparative falling off in malt, which is owing to the m►lt credits col lected in lest year. Thera was also a decrease in hops for something of a like reason, bat • very substantial gain in home-made spirits. In Stamps the yearly gain is some 240,000/., to be attri buted to the same wholesome operation of the progressive increase in the succession duties and the activity of trade. In Taxes the pin will be about 30,000/., to be amounted for by the increase of inhabited houses. In Property Tax the loss will be about 550,000 t., which is obviously caused by the reduction of the penny in the pound. In the Post-office there is the usual progressive gain of 100,0001. on the year. In Crown Lands there is no alteration. In Miscellaneous there is nothing of change worthy of mark in the comparison with bat year. On the whole the lows is £1,650,000 Gain 720,000 Net low This is moth tinder the loam estimated from the penny ream:doe of the isoome tax and the repeal of the duty on paper. The accounts altogether exhibit—in spite of ra inmaker-4 wonderful elasticity, and thoroughly vindicate the istessemical peaky of late years, and men than confirm the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

THE Wiliam—Mr. J. Ford, of the Thames Ironworks and Ship-building Company (Limited), writes : " The exploits of the liernmac having fully demonstrated that a 'repel of war capable of using her prow as a means el offence is a much more formidable object to her armory an ordinary vessel which is not built with a run stem, it will doubtless be satisfactory to the public to taw that our noble ship the Warrior, although now present* the graceful outline and appeara nce of a gigantic yacht, hue constructed that, at the cost of a few hundred pounds, its may be converted into an irresistible ram, fully capable of running down any number of wooden ship, without injury to herself. It is onl necessary to take away the emu hanging cutwater, f i gatehad, tr.c., when a stem el gigantic proportions and enormous strength, forged sod fitted with this object, will make its anftranoe, sad to this the bow plates can be easily connected. _The Markup being a wooden vessel , received such conside rabie injury to her bow in miming . down and sinking the Cumberland as to oblige her to go into dock for repairs • but there are so many examples of iron vessels with stem: vastly inferior in strength to the Warrior running down other ships without receiving any iojury that no such fear need be entertsioal on her amount." Torn VOLLINTIZZEI LN THE PARKS.—Saturday was what may be termed the ant field day of the metropolitan volunteers this seems, and although the ground was in any thin but a fit data for military evolutions, still there were oonsderable numbers of different corps in Hyde-park and Regent's-park for West-end regiments, whits! the Surrey Corp marched to Battenna-park, and the Tower Hamlets Sad East-es& regiments to the Victoria-park, either for battalion and light in/entry drill, or blank cartridge firing in preparation for tits forthcoming review at Brighton.
