MR Is. nom. Om memires.lll. LONDON. TRUJUIDAY, 728. M. Tier ineeeser of the Army Estimates for the pre sent year is all but two militates, while the increase on the cumber of men voted will be only 20,707; on the camber borne, 6,468. In truth, the chief odd'. tiooal expose) hashes* esased by the moms spent on warlike atoms for sea and land, and this amounts for no lees than one-half of the whole 'aerate,. In Fuetificativie the addition of 196,7831. hes been made, and this seems to point to the conclusion that Mr. littimar HERBERT has no idea of recommending any comprehensive system of land defence. Tim whole rum about to be demanded amounts to 14,1442.2761. The total of her MAJIATT's forces is 235.1482 men of all ranks; bat deducting those in India, which are paid for by the Indian Treasurys that total is reduced to 143,362. The question for economists is whether filter n millions is too mess to pay for au effective army of 144,000 nue. Now, out of thus 'set sum, it is worth observing that not wire than 2,600,0001. finds its way into the pockets of the rank and tee; whilst, if the officers be in cluded, the ►um only reaches 4,093.9671. Yet even in this there is estravagasee. A slight calculation will show that the average cost of those magnificent Life Guards who ride daily down Regent -street is 6W. per man, whilst the cost of an ordinary cavalry soldier io any other regiment is only 371. In like wan ner the cost of the Grenadier Guards is 32/. per man, whilst that of other regiment■ is only 241. per man Seeing that they* are two regiment' of Life Guards and one of }Nue', sod something like 6,301 Foot Guards, • successor of JOSEPH HOYE might fitly demand en explanation of this differential price. 'That the prices of the commissions in those favoured rn►ps are higher than in the others is undoubted; that Guardsmen occupy more plat:goon the Staff is certain; bet that they are more effective in the field is a very different question. Many reasonable people ohjett to privileged corps altogether, and at all events special privileges and special pay are surely a little excessive. Besides, however, the regimental pay, there is the item of 330,1434 for the Staff. A paperihas been lately published in which the name, age, and rank of every Staff officer are given. It is impose/tile at present to Miklos that return. Bat when it appears that fur the last five years oar old .friend ai'ar RICHARD MIRE has been receiving annually 2,1131. 19s. 2d., and the Hon. A. GORDos, of Cflllloll.ll fame, ha. been reeriving annually for a similar period 1,1661. 19s. 7d., it may be assumed that it furnisher instructive evidence of the respect of the Norm G weals for merit or public opinion. There is a rumour that the rule which prevents an officer from coatis/sing more than five years is the same Staff poet is to be enforced. It is to ho hoped that neither Sir 111 D AMIE nor Colossi GORDON will be forgotten in toe new arrangements. The mere fact that the Inspection of the Foot Guards costs the couutry aouualiy the sum of 1,1261. Mee lick's( to show the tenacity of system at the Harm Guards. But if soy confirmation of this opinion were required, it might be found in the fact that whilst there are 82 more on the Medical than upon the General Staff, the Medical Staff costs less than the other by some 7,00C.4. a year, The Staff stands signally in need of reform. And although we objected the other day to the new lospmtari of Volunteers, it is remarkable that Colowl *Mous) is only to have 3461. • year, and each of the assistant-Impactors, 1731., whilst its old Inspectors are each paid 6911., and each of daiZW. their Aitkos-de-Csinp pt, Inspector. Even if the se charitable is their brethren, their coot to the, sibly this sew seals c litsepsymest nosy help to forge upon the War-ellee sow reduction ea i►e 330,0001. mow upset upon Staff pay. Bat perhaps the most twerkable tbdilatiOn is these estimates is in tbs vote for Volunteer Corps. bat year there were no Rifle Volunteers. This year they amount to between 00,000 and 70,000 men. Yet the vote is reduced by 20,0001. It Is now 68,0001. Whilst the Yeomanry number 14,099, they oat the Governmeet about 47,0001.; whereas the Rifle Volunteers, who must be reekased at least at 70,000, will cost the country bay 20,0001. Surely this is open to dismission. With an looms Tax at 10d. in the pound, Petliament is to be asked to expend upon • force of Yeomanry comparatively IMAM five Met the money mimed for tite Rills Volunteers—a corps admitted to be dikient. It ill diatomic to *bowies that if the Goverment were defeated in their prepaid to provide semething Mho 60,0001. fer the Yeamaary they would take it Ind to heart. The oety remaining quartion concerns what is galled the non-effective service. Tali absorbs 2,134,6251. oat of the flftees minims. Of this the Generals on the active list take 76,8691. Their number is 160, bat it would be eerier to knew how many of them gallant vsterass are really lit for terries. The probability is that the larger properties of this sum must be regarded ea, in feet, a retiring pesters. At all events, the rest of the twe millions is the annual charge fur officers and sea se longer in the service. Some have retired to helf.pay, sane have left the army disabled, some have died, leaving their widows and children u a seared legacy to their eionntry. It has been said that one great advantage of the purchase system is that it reduces the sum of money to be provided by way of pension. That opinion may be questioned, and indeed Sir CII.4ILES TRIVILYLN was probably right when he said that the purchase system rather aggravated than diminished the difficulty of reducing the amount of nos-effective money. The hall-pay list, which now amounts to nearly 600,00 W., is crowded by officers who are neitter disabled nor sick, but who desire to absent themselves for a season from active serene. There can be little doubt that don officer were com pelled, except when sick or disabled by wounds, to retire defiaitively, the half•pay list would be much relieved. But, beadles the half-pay, the Government are compelled to grant some 200,0001. a year se pensious to widows and wounded officers. As com missions are bought and sold these edvanteges an all discounted in the market, and although so Minister can put an end to such indulgence', it mast be admitted that one of the wont effects is to !enhance the price of commissions. Indeed, through out the whole of the Army Estimate, the influence et the purchase system to apparent. It is a matter spool which the publie are waiting to bear the views of the War Mioister—fee if ever any Minister was pledged to deal with it, Mr. SWIM! 1 1 / 1 51115 is the man. by . DerW. Lest.

The Meniteur of to-day publishes a decree of the Emperor suppressing the Bretagne, published at Saint Brieux. The report of M. Billault, the Min ister of the Interior, which precedes the deerse. mentions as a reason for the suppression, the publi cation of an address of three deputies to the Em. peror, which by lamenting that the incertitude being prolonged would separate all sincere catholic* from the cause of the Emperor is a sort of protest against the policy of the government as regards the Roman question. The journal Bretagne, in pub lishing.this address, added:—" The only reply given to this address was the suppression of the Univers/ The minister, in his report, expresses a belief that if the populations were consulted they would sepa rate themselves from the three deputies, and not from the cause of the Emperor. "It is impossible," says the minister, "to tolerate the open and almost official spread of internal division in the midst of the inhabitants of Bretagne, who are known u being so religious and so devoted to the Emperor. They attempt to abuse their faith, and to present as an enemy of the tem poral power, and almost of the Holy Father himself, the prince who has given to Rome the forces to pro tect his Holiness." The Moniteur also oontaina a decree appointing the Marquis de Lavallotto as ambassador at Constan tinople. ROME. A letter from Rome in the Nord says : " Violent measures are said to be in contempla ' Sea here among the highest personages in the government. The first would be the excommunica tion of the King of Sardinia and of the sovereigns who may assist him ; next, the placing of their tingdoms under interdict; then, the oonvocation by the Pope of a general council to examine the question whether or not the tall of the temporal power of the Popes may not be ascribed to the im prudent concessions made by the holy see in con cordats, and whether those concessions ought not to be retracted as contrary to the principlps of the church. Such are the wild projects put forward by Ultramontaniam r PRUSSIA. BERLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The general dismission of the Matrimonial Law in the First Chamber closed to-day. In the vote on the first two paragraphs, all the amendments and also the original proposal of the government were rejected. The First Chamber has therefore rejected the civil marriage in every form. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter in the Cologne Gaulle says: "All the concessions the Austrian government will consent to are the abandonment of the Duke of Modena and the Duchess of Parma; it will not renounce the restoration of the Grand Doke of Tuscany, nor consent that Romagna shall be de tached from the papal states. There is no lesson to expect any change in the Austrian policy on these points. The Emperor has personally declared that no consideration shall induce him to depart from these conditions." THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, (Vie KomiLa), Fut. 11. The Duke de Grammont has presented MM. Ca don, Gabriel, and Moges to the Pope. In the event of the Duke de Grammoat leaving Rome, the Marquis de Cadore would remain as oharo-d'affaires of the French Embassy. The state of affairs in this city is more satisfac tory, and a rise has taken place in Roman Comte. Desertions have been numerous at Perugia since the proclamation of General Fend._ __ DRESDEN, WIEDIMIDAY, The Dresden Journal muerte, in a letter of its Vienna correspondent, that France has requested the Pope to make proposals for settling the question of the Romagna.

EXPRESS PROM PARIS. (►aoM ora owx oomsrosnixT.l PARIS, WIDNIIIIDLY EVIIXTNO. A Turin letter of February 12 in the Constitu tions*: says that M. Tourte, the envoy from Geneva, has frequent interviews with Count Cavoar. The correspondent does not know what may have been decided upon, nor whether any decision will be come to fora long while. Bat he asserts that valuable* belonging to the King of Sardinia are daily being removed from his chateaux in Savoy to Piedmont. He represents the party in Savoy opposed to annex ation to France as a miserable minority. It is true that among this miserable minority he reckons the nobility, the professions, and the urban population. But the Napoleonic doctrine is, as everybody know', that the real opinion of every country is represented by the ignorant classes. The &isle is almost afraid to say all that it thinks in favour of M. Thonvenel's circular, because the opinions it expresses concerning the temporal power of the Pope are those which the &isle professed when they were not in fashion. Tbe Opinion Na tionale, which—although upon certain questions (as, for instance, that of Savoy) may have had a cer tain understanding with the government, in return for the toleration extended to it—was originally an opposition journal in the main, now says: . _ This journal from the first moment of Its foundation has never owed to maintain that the temporal power of the Pope was a purely political question, with which the religious ample. of even the most timid catholic. were in so way whatever conoerned. When we find ibis doctrine broached by the pen of the official representative of the French government, and developed with unerring judg ment, vigorous logic, end the most complete knowledge at the precedents furnished by history, we cannot but con gratulate the government end its worthy organ for the frankness and lucidity with which It ha. expramed a sound opinion. This important document shows that government has not only had the 'verity to perceive the right course, but that it hie also conscience and courage equal to the occasion. Pablio °pint ni will give it credit for these merits. . _ The Preue throws doubts upon the authenticity of the telegram announcing a movement in Sicily, because, as it says, the King of Naples has just granted an amnesty to political prisoners, but the Opinion Nationale observes that the despatch stating the latter fact came from Vienna, and, sup posing it to be correct, it relates only to individuals against whom no evidence can be produced. The Bourse was dull without any new feature. The Rants closed at yesterday's prices. Railways were about 21r. 50c. lower. M. Louis Ventllot embarked at Marseille', on Monday last, on board the Vatican (the name of the vessel is a singular coincidence) for Rome. The ConstiLtionnel publishes a letter addressed by Baron Molroguier, of Ferrieres, in the depart ment of the Charente-Infetienre, to the Bishop of Orleans on the subject of the attack made by the prelate in his recent letter on Mgr. Railion, one of his predecessors in the see of Orleans, and great uncle of M. Molro guier. The baron accuses the bishop of having "outraged" and "calumniated" Mgr. Hellion, and affirms, in contradiction to Mgr. Dupanloup—l. That Mgr. Itaillon never took the civil oath of the clergy ; 2. That he did not administer the diocese of Orleans "in spite of the Pope;" 3. That he never ceased during the whole course of his life to be in oommunion with the church. The baron in the coarse of his letter states that, both as ecclesias tic and bishop, Mgr. Billion was always held in great respect both by his flock and his colleagues. The Opinion Nationals thinks that the Bishop of Orleans cannot possibly leave this letter without an answer. ITALY. CENTRAL ITALY. (riox OUR amour. commasPoinn3m) BOLOGNA, Fait. 10. The greatest activity is now prevailing in this town, for the elections of the Coneiglieri Comunali are going to take place on Sunday next. Electoral committees have been already established, both heft and in the provinces • for the leading men of the Ls gationt, being impressed with the importance of political events just now, are anxious to give • free course to the expression of opinion by their fellow. citizens. There is no doubt that the list proposed by the liberals will be carried to a man. The long ing for liberty and independence is too deeply rooted in the heart of every citizen for the result of the forthcoming trial to be doubtful. Pope and priests are so mach hated and despised that it would be difficult to find a dozen men who would risk their reputation by recording their votes for a codirso. The bit-by-bit annexation, so successfully brought to its full accomplishment by Faint, may be therefore regarded as achieved, for you may depend upon it it will be carried out, sternum dricentionte, in the national Parliament of Central Italy. It appears that, in spite of this wonderful concord, mime inclinations towards con spiracy against the national government of the country have been manifested by a few MEWL of Modena. Four of them were arrested the day before yesterday, and I hear that Farini is already in pos session of the proofs of their guilt. This priestly conspiracy seems to have been organised by an agent of the Duke, who, as it is generally reported, has not yet lost all hopes of reoouquering his diminutive state. To put into execution this rather difficult project, his Austrian Highness, it appears, deter. mined upon sending hischivalrous army, in the whole 2,700 men, to Ancona. At least, I hear on good authority that the defenders of Francis V. were on the eve of leaving Mantua for the above-mentioned place. Ancona seems to have been chosen as the headquarters of the mercenaries who have sworn to defend the rights of dukes and princes, and it is from that town that military operatioLs will be directed against Romagns. That some foolish attempt will be made by the dethroued Princes, rod that Austria still believes in the possibility of a second war, is to be inferred from the fact that the fortress of Mantua has been put in a state of defence. Not only heaths order to have its military stores sold by auction been annulled, but the whole of the surrounding country of Pietole, Pradella, San Giorgio, and Pa. j do, has been flooded with the waters of the Minoio. Whilst Austria is thus preparing for war, the politi cal agitation of the Venetian provinces is so much on the increase that I should nut be surprised to hear that it has broken out into open rebellion. In spite of the severe measures of lde adopted by the police, in spite of the arrest of sixty-seven citizens, who have been shut up within the fortresses of Lay baeh, Gradiace, and Josephstad, the demonstrations against the Austrian government have become more violent. On Sunda, last an enormous sheet of tri-coloured paper was posted up at Venice upon the walls of the Fenice 'Theatre, with the words Magenta and Solferino, an historical drama. Second edition for the year 1860." The ladies of the Venetian towns publicly wear tri-coloured ribbons and aprons, and large brooches containing the obnoxious portraits of Victor Emmanuel, Cavour, and Garibaldi. What can be the result of this determined opposition to their northern rulers but a general rising and a tremendous slaughter ? This is the real erste in which that unhappy country now stands. 'lull justice is done to the 'Venetian the tranquillity of Italy will be bat a transitory and a precarious one.
