The Emile Imildry COMMINNIONIM to whose report we before Wand, speaking d the secretary of the excise say that " when an ace which rapines great knowledge and long experience is filled hymn wines avocations, previous to his aptmene, have sot afforded him an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the duties he has to discharge, the inevitable consequence In, that more persons are sniped to secure an efficient performaace of thepub lic service than would otherwise be necessary , and they found at that time that there wee a seerehey at 1,5001. a year, aided by an under secre tary at 8001., and two insistent secretaries at 6501. mad NM a year each, being jest 6001. a year more them the whole ezpenee of the establishment of the ambendfire in 1810. Now, how much of this abuse hem been abated it may be well to inquire. 'Ant the anamisekners are obnoxious to the 'Nation made to a show ecretary is obvious i and thee a amides el diem meats is to be made, there enght to be no bit measures. If we led the members of the velsemed and amalgamated heard to omit of seem whose previous avocations how not allied thou the opportunity of be elthiswith the duties y have t M o isr pude% esg vs m ay fairly conclude that the ammot mom h the employment of more proms tibia am asemeary. Working officers do the duty, while patronage officers get the lion's share of the emolument allotted to the establishment. By abolish ing the officers at the revenue board., who are men creatures of patronage, a higher rate of pay could be afforded to the " efficient officers" who do work, concurrently with a conaiderable saving to the public. We shall see by and by how far the ministerial plan proposes to improve the efficiency ot the establish ments which it is intended to cossolidate. No weeder that, in such a state of things, the Loan LIZIMOIANT demands a continuation of arbi gory powers, and a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. No wonder he tells us that the people are unreconciled, the rebel chiefs impenitent, and 'meditating many fresh outbreaks. We leave the population in its normal stab of tinder, and al mares we are obliged to kev • weight and "pm it, lon the first spark should igni te all. This, Ise. we eall the government of Ireland. Half a year Ilse elapsed mince parliament met ; halls year for con 'Hennas, and experience, and resolve. Yet parlia ment reopen', and we hear nothing save of the asessity of somewhat altering the area of poor-rate Isistion, and of keeping the Habeas Corpus seapended. Not a word of the land or of tenure, of mortgages and Wain or of the Irish Church, of the Irish University. Ascendancy is not to be disturbed. Out-door relief is bin continued without the devising of any made for madering it possib.e, tolerable, or profitable. And the wild west of Ireland is to be still fed out of the Ihsaisqoar without the least attempt to employ those Lends so se to make the population feed itself. The political economists condemn out-door relief, and government persists in it. The political semomists oot.demn the system of productive labour, and government abandons the idea of suggest it. lu butte cues it follows the advice that is most expensive and le oat profitable. We were struck lately by accounts of the famine, meth akin to our potato famine, in Croatia. The dia toms there was easily pre. riga from extending beyond the one season. The military authorities saneteired the peasantry, gave them seed of rye and other corn , and marched them to till the fields and sow them to the beat of drum. There war no famine for more than one year in Croatia. Why is Ireland so much worse cared for than Croatia? Because the latter is a despotic country, and the Unser an aristocratic one; and because a military dam has power over even the agriculture of the cos ; and because political economists furnish the prise:ll)les, mad an aristocracy the instruments, of go vernment in the other. ROME, .lAx. 27. The Capitol and its approaches are while I write being decked oat with Oriental • plendour, for the pur pose of the proclaiming of the 12 deputies of Rome this evening. For four days the scrutineers have been at work examining the 250,000 names returned (each voter having inscribed 12 candidates on his ticket), and to-night we shall know the result. At Viterbo, Bonaparte Canino has been returned by 4,500 votes ; at Trosinone, Sterbini, elected by 3,080 suffrages ; at Spoleto, the war-minister Cambello, by 6,677 votes. The number of voters at Bologna is calculated over 19,000, at Foligno 6,000, at Macerates 4,000, Terni 3,040, Perugia 8,400 ; even at Albano, 950 came to the poll.

There is a decree out this rooming, signed by the ministry and by Prince Coreini, as head of the Boman town eciansil, laying a treble land tax on every acre of the Campaigns which the owner chooses not to cultivate. - It would really be an improvement, were Baron Jattacrucn, ea Ban of Imam], to emceed Lord CuinusooN, with an importation of Croatian law.

On the sth of February the Constitnent Assembly is sure to meet in full force, and until then the fate of the Pope's future position in these territories cannot be positively known. But even with foreign inter vention it is totally impossible to reinstate him as ab solute autocrat here, and his political +raise must necessarily undergo a very radical modification. lie will not probably quits shorn of temporal influence in worldly matters, for even now the state pays him 60,000 dollars a month (civil list), which he will more or less continue to enjoy as the menus. of his archbishopric. THE amalgamation of the boards for managing the stamp and excise duties has at length been resolved ea, and this step, according to the statement of minia ture, will lead to ayearly oat nig to the public of 70,0004 8o far good ; but the question naturally arises—why was this not done long ago T Wby have we for years paid a numerous baud of commissioners, with their subordinate establishment in Somerset-house to wage the stamp duties, and another in Broad. street to control the excise duties? The total charges of Windom of the excise duties, in the year sad- Jeaeory 1848, amounted to 786,2481., of which a cooaiderable put consisted of salaries to °Sens on the establishment, including, of sewer, the army of excisemen dispersed over the emiatry. This enormous cost is in itself aa lam retold ground of ebjectioa to excise duties. And to that sum must be added 167,7281. for the east of =Meeks is 'reload. The whole cost of the Stamp ethers in the same year was 142,82 W. The ant of the establishment for stamps sad taxes amounted to 80,9971. ; the poundage to distributors of thumps was 48,4201.; special amities and travelling, 6,9881. The buildings, and home =puma wet 1,9031.; seat and tithes, 6021.; law des, 6131.; and stationery, postage, and arrise, 8,4311.; making together, with saperaanuation amasses and various payments, the gross ems we have 11111111iosed. Upea UM whole, we believe this Mice is sot badly managed, the proportion which the cost of col eaboa bears to the gross receipt being 21.1.. 61d. per seat. This cos tests favourably with the per water for (mika dos oldie excise dada, which amounts to 61.75. 11d. per amt cm the gross receipts. The expenses of the mews establishment, so far es the materials ausemible enable us to analyse thus, are: :—Balaries and allowances, 666,7791.; weighers, wateluase, 6491.; special services and travelling, 7,3461.; country oaken eased'. duties, 9,001 L ; tradesmen's bills, &c., 12,74214 rout, rates, tithes, &c., 7,8621.; law charges, 4,1821. i pods(' and ear nage, 8,3281.; and the remainder is composed of sa. permutation and retired allowances, and other on. meroespayments which we do not stop to specify. We await the expo lice to Si made to-night by ministers for the detail of the elan by which they propose to oonsolidate these There is nothing, however, in the duties either has to perform to prevent the carrying out a system of economy far greater in amount than that mentioned by Lord Joan RUSBILL. Of course owe great souses of expense in the excise arises from the nature of the duties. Bricks, malt, Parr, soap, spirits, and sugar, mod severally be made in the country under the inspeetion of excise Assn. Hope, too, must be gathered to the same way. This must we long lead to the abrogation dill the duties of this dam. Ike post-hens dudes and theme now col lected by the exolso-ollee are sore analogous to stamp duke. But the duties being reerteined, it is obvious that there is not the slightest @singles for a well-pail board of muniseirmin to image the excise, and soother to manage the imp Miss.

OLATI'S WORNllol3l.—Before Mr. Payne, adjourned, at the Vestry-hall, Tooley-strest, Southwark, on the body of Anne Gardener, aged 34, a pauper at the St Glave's lJnioa. The tonnerinquiry was reported is the Ex press of the 3rd. The &omen was an idiot, and had been a patient in the sigh ward dam the 18th December last, and it wee alleged ohs had bees mined by one of the MIMI nand Boland, whose duty it was to attend her. The do tamed, it seemed, was labouriag under an affection of sores, which sulmi s ently brought on ttphus fever, and the chief charges t the nuns Roland consisted of insufliciontly cleansing s poultices applied to deceased, and leaving her without moving her from he bed far tOTOIIII dam she her self being tenable to move.—Mr. Payne stated that he had requested Hr. Paget, of Bartholomew's Hospital, to attend and give his Gpiaioa upon the whole of the evidence of the eve. He thought this was the fairest mode of proceeding, since the only medical evidence they had bad wee that of Mr. Pettigrew, the surgeon to the anion.—Mr. Paget said, in his evidence, that he did not think it would be fair to attribute the cause of death to the inattention spoken of, but, believing the whole of the evidence of the ceso, he should say that death wee certainly accelerated by the neglect on the part of the none. The actual cause of death we. exhaustion, oonseqttent us.on the bed porn—lt further appeared from the evidence of Yrs. Woodbine, the matron, that Roland bad no particular directions given to her about deceased, but she, and in fact all the nurses, had every facility for keeping the patients dean. They had sheets, etc., in their panelist= for that purpose. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death," adding " that though they could not make the girl respon sible for the death of deceased, they thought the patients should be batter attended to, and that the sick room should be more frequently visited by the matron."

At BRIFTIELD an influential and enthusiastic meeting was held on Tuesday evening in the Friends' Meeting house, at which Mr. Joseph Sturge and Mr. Henry Vincent attended as a deputation from the peace congress committee. So strong was the a•miety to be present, that the place of meet ing, which is one of the largest room. in Sheffield. was long before the evointed hour densely crowded in every part by more than 2,000 persons, end many scores were unable to gain admittance within the doors.

The gentry of the county of Meath held a meeting yesterday, at Navan, to consider the poor law, and pass resolutions. Mr. Naper, of Looghcrew, and Mr. Bourke, of Hayes, were the principal persons present at the meeting, which was not so numerously ate tended as the gatherings at Mullingar and Ennis. The speech of Mr. Napes was valuable from its national tone, and deserves attention. He condemned the faulty constitution of the present commission, which certainly obtains litfle confidence here. The Dublin commission opens to-day, when Mr. Duffy is to be at on his trial on the third bill of in dictment found against him. There is a new batch of Queen's commit* be made this week, partly in consequence of the disapprObatiOS which has been expressed at some of the names in the list of six counsel recently called to the Inner Bar.
