The only important degrease as regards the quarter is in the Excise duties, sod this is presumed to be ac counted for in part by the late act, by which a draw back was allowed on spirits and malt. When we recollect, however, that a considerable increase of revenue was anticipated from the increase of the duties on spirits io Ireland and Scotland, we find less mama to be pleased with this than with the other heads of the return. The diminution is the Stamp duties is of course doe to the abolition of the com pulsory Newspaper Stamp. The increase in the Customs is chiefly caused by the addition of 3s. per cwt. to the duties on sugar, Id. per lb. on coffee, and 3d. per lb. on tea. The most productive tax, however, and the one which is therefore likely to be most relished by oar Chancellors of the Exchequer, is the Income Tax, the yield of which quickly responds to the increase of the rate. Whilst the augmentation in this item on the half year is 2,196,1241., and on the year 8,484,1471., its amount for the lest qsarter is no less than 1,993,6904 or at the rate of nearly eight millions for the year. When our Finance Minister see. ready-fashioned to hie hand so may i means as is afforded by this tax for extracting from the pockets of the public the increased supplies demanded by the war, Income-tax payers have but too much reason to apprehend that he will be Maned to @K ruse himself from the trouble and unpopularity attendant upon the devising and imposition of new hums, end adhere to the easily adopted policy of a farther *steamiest of this productive and readily *oi lseed impost. Is this case the necessity of effecting • more equitable adjustment of this tax will become sees imperative, and will, we trust, be impressed with greater earnestness upon the attention of Go vernment Every man is willing enough to beir his just portion of the burdens of the war, bat would be more than bateau if, when unduly laden himself, he could calmly contemplate his more lucky neighs boar enjoying comparative immunity. As regards the decrease in the Post-office Tenn i% amounting to 81,9431. on the quarter, 176,9784 am the kalty ear, and 106,81 W. on the year, we think seem ezplanatiea is desirable. Commerce, we know, is toe sides to permit any idea of a diminution of eorrespendeces. It is stated that a portion of this decline is more apparent than teal, audio partly coca- Mooed by payments hitherto held in napless to rail way companies. If this be chore have no hesitation in saying that the accounts of the Post-Ace are too loosely managed for our taste. If, indeed, the falling off in this branch of revenue le real, the case can for strict investigation i bat if it is due to 'seep timed disbursements of the setae above referred to, we have to observe that the Post-ones so events, before being paraded la the besot the nation, might with groat advantage be submitted to any clear-righted assonant, who, we have so doubt, would provost the notion from being mystified by sash abuses. The objection, it may be urged, la comparatively • petty ace, as affecting • Wain branch of the public , balms sheet. We; boe let reply, however, that in these days of Amadei bur dens, a difference of nearly a quarter of a million per menet in a department of which the amounts ctogitt be be peeseptible of peculiar control, is no trifle, and mdb beeeratiny. Whilst discharging our duty in drawing attention j i to these points, we nevertheless reiterate our belief that the aggregate welt presented in these revenue tables is of a satisfactory and encouraging charm- 1 ter. Oar new war taxes have u yet not come into I fall working order, and, owing to the successive . 1 changes &Booted in them, it becomes dithoult to racer lain is all cues the precise proportion of inanao , derived from the respective augmentations.

" In additioo," - edds the Petrie," the step which his lordship mused the fiat interpreter to take was uni versally bleated at Constantiseple, and the emotion which the Salt= felt was sure to be responded to in England.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1856. AUSTRIA. A letter from Agra (Croatia) of the 23rd ult., in the Augsburg GazaSe, says:—" The cholera, which has for the last five mouths been ravaging the coast of this country, is extending aces and more into the interior, and incressing the misery which before pre vailed there.

The following is the curious address which the Metropolitan of Moscow delivered to the Cur at the momeat he entered the Cathedral of toe Ascension I. that city : "Most pions Emperor—Does the old metropolis of your threes, to which was nursed by special degree the honour of reosivieg you with a joyous presentiment on your ar rival in the werrtd. need to express to you its rentissents when it sees in you the ascomplisbutent of its prayers and Its presentiments, and the sores of sew devotion for the coustry ?

But that is not all. We understand with profound respect the lofty reason of your arrival amongst as. You hasten to the hereditary sanctuary of the coronation of the Curs to address your Imperial prayer to Him who ' saws Kings,' and, with the intercession of his saints, of Bishop Peter, who blessed the commencement of this capital, and of Bishop Alexis, wha blessed your birth, and in your holy baptism received you in his stets—eo obtain that ' the Lora shall send thee from Sion the sceptre' of power,' and that your firmness shall triumph over the efforts, and your penetration over the causing of the enemies of Ruuia.

We address to the Lord another prayer; it is to ere you soon with the sacred sign of the stints, the crown of your father end your ancestors, amidst the Ibis ee ictiocs of H and of Russia." The Northern Bee has lately published several articles on a book on the war in 1812, in which it is attempted to be shown that it was the fire a Moscow and not cold and hunger, which destroyed the invad ing army. The object of this is to persuade the Russian reader that the abandonment of Sebastopol was premeditated, and will certainly turn to the ad vantage of Russia. LATEST FROM ABROAD. ovs dip comoul.) - • ) • itoatiawi r _Bate Mrs Bachipsit *at* that the at thakserth Bids of liebaatopat . lias The Bridal fleet has mailed with troops; .dastina lbw unknown. Privatik CRIMEA. The following bee been received from Vienne, by our =respondent at Hamburg, under date Sept. 29: • " There is no truth in the report that the bombard ment of the north aide of Sebastopol had commenced. Nothing more has taken place than the exchange of i s few shots between the Russian batteries in the Dutch Bay and the French Lunette in the Lel Bay. The diseases hers is shoat 1.900 yards, whilst be tween Fort Nichols, and Fort Constantine it in creases to a mils and a quarter; so that the effect of a cannonade cannot be very great. Preparations were being made on board the ships of the Allies for moving _to Odessa. Orders were particularly given to the gunboats to get ready for sus. " The French troops shipped round to Eupatoria from Kamiesch Bay, consist of the first army corps under General de Sallee, four divisions of infantry, and two brigades of cavalry. General de Sallee was very urgent in demanding of Marshal Pelissier the counnand of the expedition, in order to have an opportunity of retrieving the honour of the corps and making good the lass sustained by the repulse from the centre bastion. "From the Ist of October the whole of the Turk ish troops in the Crimea will be in the pay of England, and be plead under the connnand of Gene ral Simpson, as will the Anglo-Turkish Legion under General Vivian. The offlinrs of this corps, before embarking, were presented to the Sultan. -- . "Information has been waived here that Prince Gortehakoff has coaoentrated a large form at and aroaad Birapheropol." The Vienna correspondent of the Independence Beige, writing on the 27th September, say., "it is stated from Varna that the Russian corps d'arnses, which occupies Odessa, consists only of troops rrelite, that the feeds en muses concentrated at Nioolaieff, and that the Russian cavalry at Perekop and Simphe ropol numbers 32.000 Wen.' Iw Nerd, the Russian journal at Brussels, says that Prince Gortekskoff will be very well able to defend the northern forts of Sebastopol. should they be attacked, but that "whenever he shall judge that the time has come when it will be preferable to trans fer to another point the troops which he commands he will not trouble himself about the cries of triumph to which his strategic movements may excite his enemies." In a similar manner the Sr rar.-Zeitung, the single pro•Bmsian journal of Berlin, noticing the proba bility of operations from Enpatoria, prepares its readers to expect an abandonment of the northern forts, in the event of _Prince Gortohakoff being com pelled to act in the interior of the peninsula. The motive. of oeitires, would be to "improve his position." We find it stated in Berlin papers of Sunday that the firing against the north side of Sebastopol was eommeseed on the 19th, from Fort Nichols' and the Woronsoff-road. The first mention made of this fire by Primo Gortchakoff in hie despatches was. as far as we are aware, on the Bath, when he spoke of it as' continuing unchanged. If we may credit the Vienna Avisden-Blatt, Prince Gortchakoff hes recalled General Wranprs corps from Arabat, and is caseentrating troops at Baktohi• Surat and Simpheropol. We learn by means of the telegraph that the statement that " the Russians are in full retreat" wee published yesterday at Vienaa, but did not attract mach attention. THE BALTIC FLEET.

Owing to the ;outpatient, by the French General, of the attack on the Flagstaff Battery, the contingency apes which the Sardiniaa brigade was to act did ant arias. The Osseral's words are :—N The lateness of the hoar prevented the assault (on the Central Bastion) being renewed with fresh troops, and then was also coustermseded the order to attack the Flag staff Battery, to which the Brigade Cialdial of our troops was to have prooseded—an attack which had hums isapossible.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (FROII OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, SsrT. 18. The French held a religions fete on Sunday morn -Ibig' the 16th instant, to offer thanksgiving for the success of their arms against Sebastopol. High mass was celebrated at an extempore altar raised on the heights near to the point where the Woronzoff road descends into the plain of Balalava. The altar was decorated with military trophies, and the tricolour of France and union jack of Ragland waved side by side. Some flags were hoisted of immense dimensions. The ceremonial must have been plainly visible to the Russians on the lokerniann and Mackenzie ranges of hills. General Pelissier and a great concourse of general and staff officers were present. The number of troops assembled must have been about 16,000. Cannon were fired from several of the FrenCh bat teries. As a spectacle, the effect was highly imposing and impressive ; and the site selected for the celebra tion, overlooking the plain below, and many of the ranges of mountains rising in the distance beyond, in no small degree assisted in producing the result men tioned. Much of the accumulated dirt in the Karabelcais is fast disappearing, under the direction of the com mandant, Colonel Windham. The French have already established depots and commissariat pep sine', and allotted and marked various offices in their aide of the town. English fatigue parties are actively engaged in diking and filling up the holes and irre gularities in the Woronsoff road, ss it palms along the Lett Ravine to go into Sebastopol. The shot and shell which are so thickly strewn along this " Valley of the Shadow of Death" are plead among the broken stones intended to repair the road, and as loess soil or clay, or whatever may be at hand, is afterwards laid on to make a smooth surface, it appears well enough just now. What the horses may think of the slippery shot, when the clay is converted into mud, is another matter. At, present the weather continua dry, though very chilly. The expected abandonment of the north side, con sidering its comparatively unimportant character now as a military position to the enemy, must not be looked upon as any indication of an intention to shriek from future contest. A Russian naval officer, who was superintending the removal of the wounded from the Strabelnais to the north side on the 10th instant, was addressed by an English officer, after a slight conversation between them in the French lan guage, with the remark—" Well, I hope now we may look forwird to a cessation of hostilities between us." " What! with that behind us (said the Russian, pointing to the burning city); no, depend upon it, peace is farther off than ever." This may be taken as a sample of the feeling of the Russian officers on this subject, for it was evidently said in earnest. AFFAIRS IN SMYRNA. (PROM • SMYRNA, Barr. 22. The fig harvest this year has proved unusually abundant. The quality is also very good, though not so superior as was expected. A remarkably fine Drop was looked for, but some unexpected ream LT:einjurious. The quality, however, is a very rne, and the quantity coo above it.

The kind called Elem., a very . chiles article, has fetched from 235. to 335. This is the price paid by the brokers, acting for the merchants, who peek and export the figs. The out deacon simply gather the ripe fruit, scatter it round the trees, and allow it to dry in the man. When dry it is collected into large . packs, sod sent into town on camels. The roads and principal streets are thronged all day with long strings of these animals. The fig market is an animated seen. Hundreds of begs of figs are wagged las sort of square, where the arri val and outmoding of camels, the tasting of buyers, and the bargaining with sellers, are perpetual. When a purchase has been made, the bags are conveyed to the packers, tug after beiag sorted into baskets are squeezed into shape by dirty women and children, and then packed into the drama or boxes by men. This pewees. is a very disgusting one to look at, end it is said that no one who has seen it ever eats • fig again. The residents boy a yearly stock, aped hav e them peeked at home by their own servants. The *ewe of the capture of the Malakhoff and eouth l side of Sebastopol led , to very penal rejoicing here, and as Sunday last there were salutes,lirtworks, and illatoinadons, thanksgivings in the churobes,visits of toossule to pacba and paoha to consuls—indeed, the sober-alluded Tasks seemed. for ones to have become quite hilarious. The Greeks, on the other hand, did not attempt to conceal their rage and man titivation. One French sailor was eassainated by some low Greeks, and a French soldier was severely I wounded. The offenders are in custody. The Cape of Good Hope, steam transport, left this week for England, with sixty invalided soldiers from the British Hospital, Mr. Horridge, one of the ser goons, dangerously ill, and two of the lady nurses, whose health has failed under their exertions. Only twenty patients remain now in the hospital. A k ilo pet of the medical staff areaway, for the most doing duty in the camp hospitals, es volunteers. It is fortunate that the hospital is not crowded, for some deagerous cues of fever have appeared, whisk the native. doctors call the peruses fever of the place, but which some of the English medical men declare to be yellow fem.

As it is, however, it is• useless to speculate. The money of John Bull thrown away h en i s • nothing compared to that swallowed up by the beebi-bazooks and the Turkish Contingent. The former gentry alone consume 30,0001. per month at the Dardanelles. The recipients of our cash are a singular set. Many of the cfficers are perfectly innocent either of military education or knowledge. One lieutenant-colonel, !putted as having been a major in the Egyptian service, never served in any army before. Hie sole qualification for the appoint ment was a knowledge of Arabic, picked up while serving as a clerk in a steam-packet office at Ales& dria. Another lieutenant-colonel is a Smyroict, who enjoyed an uncomfortable reputation here u • small broker and lodging-hose keeper. He owed his advancement to clever speech made to a body of the bashi-basake who threatened revolt and desertion. Au ingenious German mechanic' has just gone up Jul a captaind engineers in the Turkish Contingent, with a com mission to expend large sums in the purchase of horses in the Danubian provinces.

A very destructive epidemic has appeared smog the horned cattle, mostly in Northern Anatolie, however. It is said to be contagious typhus fem. Many thousands of cattle have died already. The robbers are still bard at work In the Seta - rounding country. Last week a government courier waa robbed near Magnesia of 2,0001., and he sad two of the guards who attempted to defend him wars killed. It is not known whether the robbers cos. sisted of Luke's band, or of the deserted bashi. bazouks from the Dardanelles. Luke is a Croat, of a very savage, revengeful character. II is said that he has sworn to avenge the &whir. Simon, and that the first person he catches wlomi ransom is not paid within 24 hours shall be impaled" . or flayed alive. It is to be hoped that an English a, volver may end this amiable rover's career. The paths has been very energetic in his proceedings, and the principal consuls and General Storks have signed as address expressing their satisfaction with his coodook and admiratioa of the manner in which he condostsd the examination of the prisoners taken up on oar picion of abetting Simon and his baud. He really is a first-rate cross-examiner, and would have made his fortune had his lot made him an Old Bailey barrister. In his reply he expresses his regret that Luke is still at liberty, but hopes soon to have him in his power.
