LONDOR, SATURDAY. FEB. 18. IT would have been well for the Government if Mr. HIJINESSY had never abandoned the clerkship which he obtained by open competition. He left Downing-street to enter public life, and sometimes, it most be confessed, he succeeds in badgeving Ministers. Their resistance to his motion on the Civil Service was hardly judicious. This was not the first hint given by the House of Commons that the system of opening the public service to all can didates must be extended. In fact, this is the third time Lord PALMER..TON has received unmistakeable evidence of that opinion. And, strange enough, this in the third time that Ministers, in the hope of get ting rid of the suhject, have turned King's evidence against the abuses of the old system of patronage, and have maintained the superiority of competition over a standard examination. Indeed, on Thursday night, Load Pstateasroe distinctly declared that ender the competitive system no young man gains " a place in the public service who is not lit for it." Thee are no doubt parents and patrons of interesting youths who consider that many have been unfairly *acted'd by the Civil Service Commissioners. But seven upon the extravagant assumption that their inomplaints are woo founded, it is sufficiently clear - that the public have gained by the change of system. The natural question then oectus---why should not the competitive sys , em be extended ? Ministers de , ire to wash their hands of patronage. It annoys 6 and defiles them. The heads of departments bars D o fault to dad with the new system. It works st ell. What then can be the objection ? Why, we e t • gravely assured that if the public service is the sown open, the young men will be corrupted. L es d PALIiek•ITON is alarmed at the danger "ed ~ t o wining the feelings of the rising generation" by n u e , ring them tr. °Dowe for government places. It is Dow discovered that this competitive system is.' i n fa, 1, a gigantic trap to catch all the cleverest young men in the country, and to demoralise them by b i d, icing tires to compete for official plasm TlMb id ea . d to be that the Government ought to get t h e e k e , west men they could for the money. Lately it was a intended that the competitive system did not supp l y the best men. But now the tables are t urne d. that system gets the best men; but at the terrible .as rill% of demoralisation. It is certainly en amus i ng conTmentary on thi. morbid anxiety for the indepers.

Talk et the Minister examining the moral inalium et his nominees. He does 'Nothing of the sort. The Civil Service COMMiII6IOIIIIIII have shown Mat newsiness of Ministers have been injected en sacral mends. The right to nominate is in fact a valuable right of patronage, and it is so essesidesed by every "abbe mate. It is admitted that eppeintmensis, whoa they wore made directly, were generally ostrupt, and therefore the new system was introdissed. It is equally Notorious now that nomi nations are given by mere favour, and that in some competitmas incompetent candidates are made to wateod for the specific purpose of enabling the minister's protégé to win his plum under the term of a contest. In feet. it is hardly an exaggeration to say with Mr. Roxancx that there is no free com petition for tce public service—the whole thing is a sham. Nos there anything impracticable in con verting it into a reality. The last report of the Civil Service Commissioners conclusively showed that a genuine open competition for public appointments was perfectly practicable, and had been in some cases carried into effect. TEM statements made last night by Lord Gams mut, in the House of Lords, and Lord Joan Rtnisittx, in the House of Commons, respecting the eamounid annexation of Savoy to France, are likely to be unsatisfactory to most Englishmen, not b•oress they contain too little information, but because they toll too much. In any ease, however, it is better to know the whole truth. The Government of France openly maintains its right to maks its frostier same against the strong state which the will of Italy I. erecting at its doors. It has told our Ambas sador so, in answer to official inquiries. Bat the claim is accompanied by two declarations the ra'Ale of which will depend very mach on the capacity of actiog in concert which the Powers of Europe may manifest at the proper time. The French Government suites that it will not proceed to annex Savoy against the wishes of the people; and aho that it will not do so without consulting the Great I , Powers of Europe. Unquestionably it is bound to do both. It will be for Germany and Switzerland, es immediately affected by the proposed meestire, mad for Russia and England, as interested only in a speondary degree, to examine the bearings of the proposed change on the independence and security • Central Europe. For as, however, the chief inte rest of the question is derived from sympathy with the free spirit of the Savoyards, and a profound distrust of an Imperial plelorseirsins as a means of ascertaining the real wishes of the population. The mind of England has been pretty plainly expressed, and although it is impassible to be blind to the insincerity and fanaticism which have now and then disfigured the parliamentary debates on this subject, it is beyond doubt that on the whole the recent die. Oliiiiollll fairly represent the opinion of the country. Ova House of Commons report shows the form into which, atter many changes, the Tory resolution to be moved u an amendment to the Budget has at length crystallised. The House is to be invited to recognise " the necessity for increased expenditure " in the coming financial year," but to add a dale ?aim of its opinion that " it is not expedient to add "to the existing deficiency by diminishing the ordi " salty revenue," and to affirm that "it is not pre "pared to disappoint the just expectations of the " imentry by a large increase of the income tax.% The large estimates were sure to find favour with the Opposition ; it is only the com mercial reforms 'which the old Protection ist party object to. A judicious fogginess has been imported into the latter part of the resolu tion. Th. "ordinary revenue "of the country is not diminished in any practical wed business-like sense by Kr. OLADSTORWR propositions. It is merely changed, u happens more or las every year. If the CHANCILLOR of the Exculecitien had left the deficit he found in the national balance-sheet, language like that of this resolution would have some meaning, Bat it is on the popular dislike of an Income Tax that the muddling concoctoes of the resolution rely. Well, they are not so wide of the mark there. Everybody dislikes the Income Tax; °sly we mistake if the country will not per save that sines three millions are to be added to the war setimater, the money must be found somewhere : and farther, that if this can bs doe*, sad four million. of that " ordinary revenge," so eripplisg to COMINVOS. but so dear to Tories and Protectionist., can be knocked away in return for an additional one penny to the Income Tax, the gain will be cheaply par chased.

In the Overfeed Moss 7.1 of the 30th of December, the most important intelisigenoe is from Japan, where trade has been suspended by the native authorities, bat with the approval of the British Oonsal-General, on sceormt of the improper *ended of some of the British residents there, and because of outrages committed on Japanese by drunken 'shore. " Mr. Memoir, our consul-general," says the Heng-Bang journal, " is distinguished by great amain sad ►y even a timid regard fir the good *mien of the lend oommunittes in Walt he' has beet placed, se Slat it is extremely improbable that hie lengthy and severe circular has not been more theft warematel by the circumstances of the case. La it he asserts that inquiry into murders committed lately an foreigners in Japan, ' marked by cinsamstasars of great atrocity and vindictive ness, and into alleged insults committed by Japanese officials, ' has only tended to prove how much foreigners, in a marked degree, have themselves to blame for so deplorable a state of affairs.' Bailors from ships of all nations have been allowed to go aboat on shore intoxicated, offering violence sad insults to respectable Japanese ; and Mr. Alcoa even asserts that the permanent foreign residents have given just cause for complaint by violent or indecorous conduct to native officials es well as to others. The Consul-General says that British merchants at Yokohama have made ' insane de mands' on the Japanese authorities, ' often with menace and violence,' while there has been procras tination and want of system on the part of the Japanese. In the desire to purchase gold coin, on which there is a profit of nearly 100 per cent., demands have been made on the Japanese treasury in violence of the treaty regulations, under fictitious, often indecent, names, and for fabulous sums which no language can express. In addition to all this there appears to have been smuggling going no. It is not possible that the interests of legitimate trade in Japan (which can only be slowly developed) and the honour of England in the east, should be suf fered to be perilled by each proceeding, as these." The deficiency of the rice crop is new telling on the price of that necessary of life, and much suffer ing, if not even famine, is anticipated. INDIA.

The only information we have of the cavalry is afforded by the Meissenlite of the 10th—" on dit, that it is to consist of a troop or squadron of the god Dragoon Guards." Of the irregular cavalry the same journal has heard that it will comprise" 600 volunteers from the four regiments of Sikh Cavalry." The Delhi Gazette also says that three squadrons of irregular cavalry, under Captain Fans, are going, and that volunteers are wanted. Captain Fans is second in oommand of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment Punjaub Irregular Force. Of Chiron% troops (Infantry) the Oudh Gasette, usually reliable, has heard that the 24th (let Bat talion) are likely to go ; and the Popsies Oiseroer mentions the 43rd, it being ordered to Calcutta. The latter, however, is more likely to remain at the Presidency, to supply the plus of the 60th and 90th. Towards completing the five battalions of Native Infantry, the 6th and 13th Punjaub Infantry, the 33rd Bengal Native Infantry, now at Peshawar, and the 60th Ghoorkas, have volunteered their services. Sir Hope Grants said (Lean*le Herald) to have applied for an wort of the Bays to accompany him to China. By a letter from Simla, the sth instant, we learn that " t►at portion of the office establishments with Lord Clyde have received orders to prepare for a trip to Calcutta, to attend Sir Hugh Rose to the upper provinces." Lord Clyde proceeds down the Indus, but from what point is not yet determined, on his way to Bombay, whence he embarks for England. The Right Ron. J. Wilson was at Lucknow on the 13th alt. The Governor of Madras Ma proceeded as a tour to the south, and will be absent from the seat of go vernment for about two months. The strength of the Madras regiments of Native Infantry hes been reduced to 700 men each. The Viceroy has called on the Punjabis and Hie dostanee regiments to volunteer for the China service. His lordship held a dubs" at Meerut on the 24th December, and reached Delhi on the 29th. The expedition against the tribe of Wureereee, who murdered Captain Mecham in the Kohat Pus, has been eneessaful. Their encampments have been destroyed, and their sheep, dm., captured. TM trial of some of the late leaders of rebellion in Code hu commenced. The Pooreah Observer, in a postscript dated Jan. 14, says:' We hays jnat heard, on good authority. that Sir Henry &menet is to remain another year in India as Commander-in-enief of Bombay; that General Mansfield is to go as second in command of r %wow 8, 18iD. that Colonel Bit Chu.

The tribe is the 14atonkbals, who live between the rivers Adages= and Kobe:dial, the Black Bee and the Kouban. As a guarantee of their loyalty and devotedness, the Natoukhale have given seventeen hostages belongieg to their highest families, and are now taking the oaths of allegiance. The Emperor end. Empress of the French, two sights bee, were prating at a charming fi e given at the villa of Prince Napoleon, In the Avenue Montaigne, in hamar of the anniversary of the marriage of the Prince with the Panama Clothilde. The entertainments commenced by a dramatic representation given by the artistes of the Midi's Francais, and consisted of a prologue in verse, by M. Thiophile Gauthier, Le 'Mew de Diomede, and the Amor is Ms. The programme, printed in ancient pasts, bore ties following heading, " Thfiitre de Poingel; reoaverture spree tine reliche de 1800 am, pour cause de riparadons." Both authors and actors were warmly ap plauded by tits illustrious company present. After the thea trical perftemance, at half-past slaves, dancing oommenced, aid woe kept up until after three o'clock. A letter from Rome of the 11th says :—" In order somewhat to relieve the needy climes at present unoccupied he Rome, orders have been given for resuming excavations on the Via Latina, which locality, two years ago, under the judkdona examination of Signor Fortunati, afforded snob interesting results. A numerous body of labourers are now engaged there in restoring to light the deeply-buried pave met of the ancient Roman road, ortssistiog of meafive blocks of temp t proloandly indented with the marks of chariot cheek. Excavations are also being carried on in the Parma, with a view to completing the exhumation of the Batilies Jan. Some old barns which stood upon that *pot have been throws down, and as the sAI underneath is now tamed up for the first time for hundreds of years, interesting results are anticipated from the research. The baths of Carsoala and those of Titus sre also to be subjected to the excavator's shove/ ; and, as it is rare for any portion of the ancient soil of Rome to be disturbed without revealing some mutilated tremors of art, we may reasonably hope for fresh additions to the already invaluable museums of the Vatican and the Capitol." At a late eittiog of the Legislative Council at Redeem, Sir C. Jachasn moved the first reading of a bill " to provide for the dissolution of certain marriages entered into by Christian converts before their 4:lnversion." Sir Charles explained that, by the Rindoo and IS.h•rmedan laws, conver sion dissolved the marriage tie, Lad that by our law if • married convect motarried he was guilty of bigamy; so dist the convert was "thus compelled to remain • married man without a wife." The bill provides that if the heathen wife or husband raw to live with the Chriatisa wife or husband for two years after being questioned by the Zillah judge, that the parties shall be divorced ; if there are children then the period before a dissolution can inks place is fixed at four years. The expense of the proasedings is to fall on the convert. Yr. Soon having seconded the motion, the bill was reed a first time.

PION OUR OWN PARIS{ FILIDAY £vu*a. 01liyier's awe cense oo this morning for intim - toartig atiliriiiittsjefore the Court of Correctional Appeals, M. Partarrien•Laffaee pre siding. The appearance of the court showed that the affair bad lost none of its interest. Every seat not reserved was occupied at an early hour, the majority of the audience consisting, as on the former ocomiam, principally of barristers in their robes. Among the visitors accommodated with seats on the beach were M. Dapin, the Pro career-General of the Court of Caseation, Abbe Coquerean, chaplain-general to the fleet, and a host of judges and magistrates. M. Chain d'Est Aug. (who was assisted by M. Oscar de Vallee) occupied the chair of the Pablio Minister. Among the eminent advocates who sat near M. Emile 011ivier during the whole day were MM. Plocque ( batonnier), Berryer, Dufaure, Renard, Jules Favre, Cremienxi Dessaarest, and Bethmont. M. Chain d'Est Auge, to the great disappointment of many who had indulged a hope that his sympathies with the bar would have overruled the bias of his present official position, made a dead set against M. 011ivier, and in a speech with much mouthing and gesticulation oontended that the public minister was never impassioned, and that it was an offence in an advocate to say that he was. The court confirmed the suspension of M. 011ivier. I cannot describe the disgust of the bar. The Bourse improved upon a telegram of doubtful construction, but which was interpreted to mean that Lord John Russell did not object to the annex ation of Savoy. The Rents rose 26c. and 20c., closing at 67fr. 76c., both for cash and account. Mobilier roes 6fr. Railways were from 2fr. to 6c. higher. TIII/HaDAT KVININO. The libel case of the" Siècle v. Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans," is definitively fixed for hear i ng before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on March 1. Several journals announce dot not only M. Berryer but M. Deana will appear u counsel foe the bishop, and that M. Board and M. Jules Favre will repre sent the Slide. M. Senard is, I know, retained; but as to M. Jules Fevre I have some doubt. His political friends would be sorry to see him assisting in running down the church party, which happens to be out of favour at the present moment, and ac cordingly sufferr, in the persons of the journalists who support it, all the tyranny and injustice which may be brought to bear at any time upon whoever IS audacious enough to beard power. This feeling will scarcely be understood in England, where • bar rister, no matter what his politics may be, never refuse* a brief. Sir Fitzroy Kelly defended Daniel O'Connell ; but here the rules of the bar are very different. Counsel continually reface to undertake causes which they do not like, and in political cases it rarely happens that • barrister takes a brief without being more or lea personally identified with the cause of his client. 'Whatever M. Jules Fevre may think fit to do in this instance, I can assure you from personal knowledge that many members of the liberal party who are among the strongest opponents of ultnimentanism, and priestly domination of every kind, would rather not stand forward at the present moment to aggravate the pressure which the government, although for osten sible objects which they entirely approve of, is bringing to bear upon the church party. M. Thouvenel's last circular is this day cried about the streets at 1 eon, as the answer of the French government to the Pope's encyclical letter. I am happy to) be able to enure you that the re publican party in the Corps Legislatif will support the treaty of commerce against the protectionists. The Bourse remains in a state of atrophy. Speen lators have not the courage to operate either one way or the other. The Bente closed at 67.60 and 67.55, with a fall of 16 and 10. Mobilier fell 3.76. Railways are stationary. A new café monatre, called the Alone', was opened last night in the Faubourg Poissonniere. The inauguration was somewhat falsely described no the invitation cards as a " private one," for in point of fact the vast arena was as full as it could hold, and many recipients of tickets were unable to force their way in. This new establishment is of the genus, though not precisely of the specie*, of the Eldorado, on the Boulevard de Sebastopol. The Eldorado is a rotunda—the Aloszar is an oblong sa loon, decorated in the style of the Alhambra. The object of both is to attract the public by offering them, in consideration of a alight extra charge for coffee and petit verre, • musical and semi-dramatic entertainment, equal, and in some respects superior. to what they would get at a minor theatre. Theft musical cafés, of which the two I have mentioned are the princes, enter largely into the composition of the new Paris which has grown up within the last three or four years. The love of the Parisians for dramatic entertainments is such that these planes are always full, and yet the theatres and casinos do not suffer by the competition. CENTRAL ITALY. The Monitore Tomes° states that Baron Ricsaoli was very well received at the Lucca station by all the authorities, and that the people there gave him an ovation. From the balconies of the royal palace he thanked the inhabitants for their kind reception and their co-operation in the great work of construct ing the nation constitutionally, thanks to which the government bed been enabled to effect great results for the country. " Wherever I go," he said, " I always find myself at home; this family does not consist solely of the Tuscans and the twelve millions of souls that are to form the kingdom of King Victor Emmanuel, but also of all the inhabitants from the Alps to the Faro. We must persevere and end in showing ourselves worthy of carrying out the great destinies of the country." THE PAPAL STATES.
