A GLANCE at the progress of trade involves neoss• eerily an allusion to the annual financial statement ; for, although the large Dwaine,. which is now going On throughout the ouuutry Is so soundly based that it is singularly exempt from liability to spasmodis fisctuauons, there has undoubtedly been a pause in some departments pending the promulgation of Mr. GLALAITONE . B anxiously expected plan. The feeling of expectancy was the more keen in proportion to the public appreciation of the rare abilities of our financial statesman. Every one felt convinced that his scheme of to:mica would make a deep mark upon the fecal records of the kingdom. The result kas equal/ed anticipation. We are presented with a Budget et ease bold, samprehensive, and sound. It is mad beams It marks a &Maki ve abandonment at the attempt to make Meal settlements for future yeas. It is sound because, with a salutary distinc tion, it charges the present (practically) war expen diture upon the WOme tax, which has always been regarded as the great financial reserve in time of war. We are happily at peace, yet are resolved to be in readiness for the opposite condition. The heavy expenditure now in progress is partly in satisfaction ut previous shortcomings—partly eke, it mii) be hoped, in reducrion of future outlay. The nation has taken out a policy of insures°, against war risks : an income ter of tenpsoos In the pound repressor' tee annual premium. It is well that the logical connexion between the public defences and the income t.x should be kept prominently forward. What is V . .e prospect of a diminu tion of this premium of insurance? It ob viously depends upon a thoroughly friendly accord with France, our only naval rival. Herr, agstri, the Budget te sound and logical; for how can we make France sincerely averse to a rupture save by exst:iug into tneir proper importauce those French interests which a rupture would ruin, whilst we at the same time present a stronger front than at Any farmer period of our history ? The commercial treaty hinds Frsnos over to keep the peace, and so ;does our present armament. In both points the policy of Ministers is perfectly consistent. Let it be rettieusbertd, too, that the sincere accord of Great Britain and France furnishes the strongest possible guarantee for the miouteoance of peace throughout the world; and that peace is alone required to raise this Empire to an unexampled pitch of wealth and power. But Mr. GWDtTTONS'S scheme is, above all, sound because it aims at giving the utmost' degree of free dom to the tadostrisl and manufacturing interests, which represent the real thews and sinews of the nation's ►trength. Ti an ordinary financier, the present p►riud of pressure would no: be the time for encumbering himself with projects of fiscal improve ment As they have waited for Jean, be would e'en let them wait longer. It is precisely here that the genius of the stste.ma• shines forth. Rising with the om.sion, Mr. GLAUSTONX tope off the dt formi tier of our financial system, even at the cost of deepening the already huge chasm of the deficit which it is his most arduous tick to fill up. Whilst @addling the extra war expendnura upon • war tax, he correctly regards the saving of upwards of two mil lions which is occasioned in the annual charge of the 'mammal debt by the expiration of Annuities, as a trust-fund which he is bound to employ foe as special beboof of trade. He enunciates the noble and enlightened principle that the raw material-- ate pen:nitwit element of indastry—osight net to be touched by the hand of the tax-gatherer. Let the raw matenal pass to and fro free se air, for by this moans alone can the fullest impetus be given to home industry, and the British autaafeetarer be placed ia THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY It lier that esemessisal position which will enable him to asking his characteristic triumph in the new fields of unrestricted competition to which the Citattet , tbsEXCHIQUER waves his on. Cheelmaterial increased employment to the email. dames, intelligent member of which ought to apply his ener gies to expounding this great truth to his fellows. Why, in the name of common sense, should Eng land, the greatest ship-building country in the world, yet one from whose face forests have almost arappeared, levy an import duty upon timber ? Wien Mr. G ',klaxons abolishes the differential duty *se foreign as compared with colonial timber, and admits into oar ports all descriptions, wherever grown, at a duty which he estimates to average about the same as that on corn—vie., 3 per ant.—he acts spa a principle which no one can controvert. It is lie same principle that has presided over Me framing of the treaty with Franc*. Memo halts in the path wherein we walk esaddeetly : blind to her true interests, she still eemdsmns herself to pay a much higher price for coal mad iron than is required. But the treaty, though itisemplete, will undoubtedly prove a boon to our coal and iron interims ; and its provisions thus bar , suite, as far as they go, with the great policy of lieedisg raw material. The same view—that of Main the shackles from industry—has decreed the abolition of the pernicious duty oit paper, a com modity which enters into nearly every delivery of psis, both wholesale and retail. The manufacture at paper, by a policy which the flaanciers of the middle ages would be ashamed to aoknewleige, has hitherto boss studiously discouraged la this laid of free industry. Competition, tie Neel of emterpries, has been trodden out, and reemerely reared up in its stead. Wno does not sympathies with the regret wherewith the Cuascam.ol of the RICIIIIQUIE notices the withering away of the vil lage paper manufacture under the attentions of the Excise officers? A chapter might be written upon the baneful operation of the paper duty as a tax upon intelligence; bat we specially recognise is its abolition another proof of Mr. GLADSTONE'S fidelity to the cardinal principle of freedom of industry by which his Budget is characterised throughout. The tendency of his whole plan is to breathe fresh life into trade, by stimulating the energy and enterprise of manufacturers, and by enlarging the area of em ployment. To the capitalist-employer, therefore, and to the working man, it is alike pregnant with advantage. It is by advancing, in a confident and enlightened spirit, along the free path thus marked oat that England mast maintain her position in the van of commercial progress. It is satisfactory to remark that, notwithstanding the sudden disturbance in the money market, the reports from the manufacturing districts continue generally to indicate large profits and plenty of em ployment. In Manchester and its neighbourhood spinners and manufacturers are still fully occupied, and well supplied with orders extending a long time forward. The influx of fresh orders is only limited by the length of time required for their execution. Even in what are termed " quiet weeks" the new commissions are sufficient to prevent the possibility of clearing off those of longer standing. An extra ordinarily large number of saw looms have been established ; and it is a remarkable fact that extreme difficulty is experienced in getting together the re quisite number of workpeople. By employers and em ployed a period of equal prosperity has never befogs been withered. This activity is not fully shared In the woollen districts, but there seems to be little ground for the complaints which are heard from one or two quarters. At Leeds the demand for goods is still in exam of the production. At Huddersfield it is re marked that business' is not brisk, but the cause of this appears to be that, as purchasers complain, the stocks are too small, and do not present sufficient variety. At Halifax the spinners are well em ployed ; the manufacturers are busy upon actual orders (the best class of business), and the stocks are likewise very moderate in amount. From Rochdale we have the same report of small stocks of manufactured goods. At Bradford there is a dimi nution of activity. The condition of the Nottingham lace trade cattiness to give rise to complaint, but in the hosiery branch there is ample employment and great prosperity. At Leicester also full occu pation is afforded, and the position of the hosiery business is described as very satisfactory. The re port from Birmingham notices a continued improve ment in the home trade, an increased influx of orders , and good employment for the artisans. As regards the iron trade, then is no recovery in the shipping orders, bat stinks are not increasing to any impor tant extent. At Belfast the priors of linen goods are firm, and the report from Dundee accords. The subsidiese of the pressure is the money market forms another satisfactory feature. The causes of the late sadden movement have not yet been entirely obviated. Tars fact that up to the end of last December only four millions sterling of Indian Government Notes had been "imfaced" for payment of the interest in England, though it shows that an exaggerated degree of importance has been attached to this drain, likewise denotes that the ceases of the rise in the value of money are more deeply seated than some people suspected. From the magnitude of our export trade it may be in ferred that we are making numerous oonsignments abroad partially on credit, whilst we pay in cash or at shorter credit for the raw material consumed. Under these eircanistaams. a rise in the value of money is natural, the more espe cially as one of our great customers—Australia-- withholds remittance.. The unusually small amount of gold which is likely to reach us for some time to come precludes the idea of a speedy 1 of the late advance in the rates of discount. Meanwhile, we must console ourselves with the reflection that the prospect of further disturbance is diminished; and that the present value of money, whilst too mo derate to interfere with our manufacturing industry, will operate, to a certain extent, as • safeguard against the introdaction of foreign investments.

ROWLAND WILLIAMS ON _MS DE CLARATION AGAINST ALL RE/lIMuN OS THE LITURGY. Elm—Tour draft of a declaration, by whisk you propose that I should protest against any possible alterations in the Liturgy at the present time, how ever wise or moderate such alterations might con osivably be, reached me by yesterday's poet. I con sent to sign the declaration provided that either the five clergymen who issued it, or provided that any considerable body of theologians, will declare they believe all parts of our Liturgy and Articles in such a sense as to think them not susceptible of improve ment, either by addition er abridgment, or in respect of consistency or otherwise. But it is notorious that neither the disciplined party among us which derives its principles from the Tracts for the Times, nor the great body of our evangelical clergy, entertain say such belief. Nor have yet been fortunate enough to know any theo logien of mark (hardly, indeed, any clergyman) who does entertain it, although my acquaintance compre hends several gentlemen who, for reasons best known to themselves, have signed your declaration. Observing in the most opposite quarters so decided a concurrence of opinion that our Liturgy is suscep tible of improvement, I see no reason to despair that a Royal Commission might devise means of intro ducing such improvement as might lessen the scruples of all parties, and give an exclusive triumph to none. Considering also that it is good to be zea lous in good at all times, I dare not take upon myself to say that the present time is unfit for a work which might be one of healing ; nor do I think it fair to presume that Lord Ebary intends " to totes upon the clergy " alterations which it ia conceivable he might recommend by way of eptioe, or of permission. It is dangerous to resign one's conscience into the keeping of a crowd g and I trust you will permit me to reserve my right of consideration whether Lord Ebury's ulterior sesames may not possibly turn out of a salutary kind. But while I decline, except with the proviso above stated, to sign your declaration, I have equally stood aloof from any such petition in favour of revi sion as might afford a handle for representing me as less attached to the Liturgy than my neighbours, or as more aggrieved than they are by particulars in it. Such a presumption would, be manifestly unjust, as regards the upright and conscientious Mr. Nihill, or the 480 petitioners for revision; but I prefer, in my own ease, not giving to party tactitians a handle for pretending it.—l am. sir, your faithful servant, ROWLAND WILLIAMS, D.D., Vicar of Bresdelialke, Wilts, and late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Feb. 8. To Howell Davies, Esq., Secretary to the Five Clergymen's Desk: Won, &o.

The eorresponda■t of the Nord, writing from Paris on the 10th inst., says : " I am assured that Prince Metternich has this day handed to M. Thouvenel the reply of Count Esehberg to the French note of the 30th of January; the reply is said to be of no leas extent than M.Thouve ners despatch. Count Reehberg calmly discusses, article after article, the propositions of England ; exposes that the principle of non-intervention is violated daily by Piedmont in the States of Central Italy ; while, taking into account the attempts made by the French government in favour of the dethroned Princes in the Duchies, Austria eantiet retract from the engagements taken at Vil !drapes and from the stipulations signed at Zurich, and consequently admit de jure facts contrary to those engagements and to the treaty between France and Austria. If the treaty of Zurich is re spected as regards Venetia, why should it not also be respected as regards the Duchies? If the propositions of England are carried out it is a great experiment that is about to be made in Central Italy. Austria will not oppose that experiment by force of arms, convinced that events will not fail soon to give support to the cause of right and justice." THE PAPAL STATES.

Twenty-six deputies, being • large majority of the members of the Diet, have signed an address to the King, of which the following is • summary : The Royal ordinance of Janusry,lB62, has hardly satisfied the smallest portion of our expectations ; even the assurances which it contained have gene rally not been fulfilled. Instead of the equal rights promised to the different nationalities, the German one hu been forcibly suppressed. A complete return to the lawful state can alone give satisfaction to the nation. The ordinance of 1852, not referring to Holstein alone, but also to Schleswig, the laws which were abolished in Holstein in November, 1858, and the general constitution of 1855, cannot be any more applied to Schleswig. The members of the Diet then refer to the declara tion of Denmark, communicated to the Federal Diet of Germany in September, 1846, by which the union of Schleswig and Holstein was recognised, and they formally protest against auy separation of Schleswig from Holstein. This address to the King will be discussed by the Diet on Tuesday next. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE. F... 4 (7% TOW.). Sinai the departure of M.

All sratswrints upon the matter an mini sunalswa," EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MON Oil OWN 00111SPONDINVa PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. Writing political news to London at this moment is sending coals to Newestle. The French papers are filled with extracts from the English journals and the debates in the English parliament. Their comments, if they had any, would not be worth much notice, now that the warning to M. Peyrat makes it impossible for any independent writer to say anything before he knows what will be approved of. Sunday is always a dull day with the Paris papers, and this dullness is even greater than usual to-day--so much so that a lithographed correspon dence now before me says they might as well follow the example of many of their provincial brethren and not appear at all. M. Michel Chevalier has an elaborate article in the Dibats, explaining the com mercial treaty, of which he highly approves. The protectionists have not yet had time to organiis their groans on the subject. The weather in Paris is singularly cold for the middle of February. There is ice two inches thick in the basins of the Champs Elysees and Bois de Boulogne, and the north-east wind is most bitter. In some of the provinces the weather is much more severe, and the local journals apprehend a second hard winter. At Caen yesterday snow fell abun dantly for several hours. M. Joseph Montanelli, formerly (in 1848) head of the executive power in Florence, is at this moment in Paris. He lived here many years as an exile, and at nos time few names stood higher than his among the Italian patriots, but since kis return to Italy, at the breaking out of the war last year, he has lost all his popularity and influence, on account of his having put himself prominently forward as an anti-annexationist. He was at one time grievously suspected of being an agent of Pion plonism in Tuscany. Whether he has now come to Paris on private business, or with a view to negotiate with the French government on Italian affairs, Ism unable to say. Several foreign journals have announced the arrival in Paris of Dictator Falai, but this news is contradicted by the Petrie. It appears by to-day's letters that he left Turin on February 8, and was subsequently at Modena, the seat of his govern ment. The Moositeurof to-day contains the following: " The Amnia, des Debate has announced, on the authority of the Corriere Mercantile di Genoa, that the French army, having lost 6,000 men in the last six months, is about to receive reinforcements amounting to 15,000 men. The sanitary state of the army is excellent. The deaths which have been announced do not exceed the ordinary average mor. tality. It is also false that typhus fever prevails in the hospitals. The furlough granted to soldiers wounded or in ill health in ,00nsequence of our glorious campaign has caused vacancies which it was natural to till up, but it has not yet been done." PARIS, SATURDAY BVINING. General Wildenbruch is expected in Paris on a special mission from the Prussian government, which, being embarrasaed by . contradictory reports from its representatives at Turin and Florence, wishes to know the real state of things. Count Arose, whom sever►l journals prematurely sent from Paris to London yesterday, has only just arrived here. His mission will, however, probably send him to London a little later. The Marini. de L►valette is appointed ambassador at Constantinople, flee Thouvenel. Notwithstanding a rise in Console, and tele graphic assurances from London that the budget is favourably r.enived, this Bourse, after a trifling rise at the opening, became very heavy ; the Rents fell 20c. for cash and 25c. for account. closing at 67.60 and 67.55. Mobilier fell 3.73. The railways were all from 3f. to 6f. lower. The depression was attri buted to rumours of a new circular by Count Gnaw, in which he says that the concentration of Austrian troops in Venetia will make it necessary for Pied mont to augment her army and contnet a loan. The Moniteur only publishes an abridgment of the treaty of commerce. ITALY. - SARDINIA. "011 OCR OWN OONNABPONDENT.) TURIN, Fee. B. I believe, that if Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell coold see all the secret documents of Aus trian perfidy, even as they affect themselves per sonally, as the Emperor Napoleon did alter the Villatrines affair, when he had put into his hands a few that rega rded himself, but of which he had been previously ignorant—l believe,l say, they would be more resolutely determiued than ever to have done with Austria for good and all. The Emperor Napoleon possesses at this moment certain secret documents that prove Austria's fabrication, in con junction with Rome, of an infernal plot, by which a portion of the French clergy was to be placed at the disposal of the first-named power. 'ilia fact, which I have well-founded reasons for believing, may tend to explain many recent acts—the suppression of the Univers, for instance, and the bolder policy of the Emperor towards Rome. These reasons, it may be, joined to the earnest desire of seconding the ideas of the English government, have made him dictate to the successor of Count Walewski a note, which as soon as it becomes known to the public will produce a sensation. A foreign diplomatist said to me the other day, that the new French minister is by no means so bland and coot pliMentary as his predeces'or was. In this note the condition of Italy and of Europe relatively to Austria is clearly set forth. It is shown therein that the Austrian government has failed in her engagements entered into at Villafranca, and that for this reason it had become impossible for the Emperor Napoleon to make any concrete reality out of the abstract phrase " the rights of the princes are reserved." France does not wish to detach herself from Eng land, or to abandon her fiardinian ally, or to allow disorder and misrule to be perpetuated in Italy merely to please Austria. You will not, I am sure, lose sight of the prepara tions now making by Austria in Venetia. Her generals say openly that on the day when the French rectos* the Alps an army of three hundred thousand Austrians will re-enter Italy. You see clearly that Austria cares little for the peace of Europe, and equally little whether her own subjects are weary . of useless and exhausting war. Toese are beginning to curse the heavy yoke they bear. The House of Hapsburg fences that all Europe, that all the world, was created for it l it fancies that by being united with the Pope it can kindle a vast enetiagrai ion, by means of which it can burn its own bonds, and poe tises itself of the treasures of others. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The Afrieen mail steamer Cleopatra arrived in the Mersey on Saturday afternoon, with 3,000 ounces of gold, the usual mails, and cargo. Her biajesty'e steam ship Pluto was reported to have taken a prize on the south coast, with between 800 and 600 slaves on board. The deaths of Major Barry, ILE., at Cape Coast, on the 17th of December ; of J. Howell Smyth, at Sierra Leone, on the 19th of January ; and Lieut. A. C. Aflame, of her Mejesty'a steamship Arrogant, on the 12th of January, are reported. In the Via-Admiralty Court at Sierra Leone, on the 4th of January, the court condemned the brigan tine Rosarito, on the ground of being equipped for the slave trade. GOLD COAST.—The gold trade was very dull, and a great deal of uneasiness was occasioned by the fact that a large quantity of bad gold is being brought into , V ! tat tor Pro
