Mr. Sidney Herbert was em. maned yesterday, end gays his evidence with groat frank inss and presbdea. After technically describing his official poltioo, the bon. gentleman, in reply to questions from the chairman as to tlio precise character of his function', said— The See: Mary fee War was strictly a financial officer. He ezeredeed • control mad a cheek over all the expenditure of the army, and no attendees in matter of promo.ion or of discipline involving any increased outlay could be carried' into effect by the Commander-in Chief without his seetelionsl He had other civil duties to perform connected with alibi. meat and reforms in the army, such as the organisation of petitioner', the regimental schools aid the normal schools at Chelsea, the preparation of such a measure as the New Mutiny Bill, end of the estimates, on which it was his provisos to advise from time to time. His polities as a member of 1 the cabinet did sot interfere with his position of Secretary for War. His only relation as Secretary for War with tho Commander in-Chief wra is the way of checking the at peeditursof the army ; and he had oothiag whatever to do with promotions, unless they entailed additional e amass. Tim office of Secretary-et-War virtually wee not abolished, but that office was held simultaneously with the Secretaryship of State for War by Lord Penman, it being necessary to continue the nominal existence of the oleo,, In cessequenoe of the 'gateau of particular acts of parliament, which it would be necessary to repeal formally if chi office wen altogether abolished. The Secretary for War appointed all the paymasters and purveyors, and all persons, excepting in the commissariat department, who had control over the financial arrangements of the army. The Secretary of State for Wu had complete control over all the military departments; but the Secretary at Wu had under him the delegation from the Treasury of the financial basinsea ed ,'he army, where it was either too complicated, too minute, nor too vast to be controlled by the Treasury ; but the Treasury had still the control over all expenditure by the Secretary as War. He (the Right Hon. Mr. 8. Herbert) discussed the quo ties of the policy of the war with the Cabinet sot as Seers. Lary at War, but as a member of the Cabinet. As regarded the sending tut of the expeditionary force, to the East, the first order was given at the Horse Guards on Inns 29, by the Duke of Newcastle ordering the troops out to Varna. The instructions originally sent eel to Lord Raglan con tomplatad,9nt, the defence of the Balkans, but subsequently he received fuller instructions to proceed on to the Crimes, with a view to the investment of Sebastopol. Consequent on the determination to attack Sebastopol, an additional force was sant out under Sit George Cathcart, and Admiral Boxer was also sent out to assist in carrying oat the expedi tion. Preparations were not at drat made for • long stay in the Crimes, as it was intended to take Sebastopol by a mop de main. He (Mr. Herbert) had nothing to do with the commissariat at this crisis, or with the medial department, which was entirely in the hands of Dr. Smith, whose daty it was to make all necessary preparations far army surgeons and stores • sad Dr. Smith, in thus matters, with the exception of the expenditure part of them, wee entirely under the control of the Commander-in-Chief. The first communication be had with Dr. Smith on mat:ere con nected with the medical department of the army was when Dr. &mita first drew out a plan relative to the number of persons to be employed and the amount of stores to be sent em, and also when a question arose between Dr. Smith and Dr. Guthrie as to whether it would be better to take more vestments' or more assistant staff surgeons, and ultimately Is turned out that it would be better to have taken more MI surgeons. Where any army was miviog in the field, 11 was ao doubt better to take regimental surgeons ; but where it was statioaery, as to the Crimea, staff surgeons were better. His attention, however, was not called to these matters until after the battle of Alma, when accounts came to him, in October, of the failure of the hospital at Scutari, the responsibility of which rested with Dr. Hall, the chief medical officer of the expedition ; and when the army left Varna Dr. Hail left orders that all necessary stores and medical comforts should be sent on from there to Constantinople ' • but whether from deficiency of transport or misunderstan ding this practically was not done ; and on the occasion of the first importation of sick and wounded to Scutari there was a great want of medical comforts sad stores, and great exertions were afterwards made to induce the admiral at the station to send on these stores from Varna. The surerietendences of the hospital at Scutari belonged to the head of the medical staff, and ho remembered, on first hearing of a deficiency, a tele graphic message was immediately sent on to L.rd Stratford de Redcliffe, to ascertain the state of things, and to remedy them it necessary by every means in his power. He (Right Hon. Mr. S. Herbert) also kept up a continuous correspondence with the medial officers and purveyors there, ordering them to exert themselves, to purchase on the spot ever, thing that was obtainable, and to let.them know what were their present and what their future wants. He ap prehended that the first direct authority for the establish ment of the general hospital at Scutari proceeded from Lord Raglan, the medical men providing, under his c'immand, all OA necessary medical mean,. No doubt, in dcci ling on the selection of Scutari, Lord Raglan and Dr. Hall ado,,ted it as the result of communications with Mr. Covert, who was out there and who had considerable local know ledge. He did not know that it was necessary to make any particular distinction in the way of pro viding between • hospital in the field and • general hospital, as • general hospital was frequently of a locomo tive chaseter in • campaign, end followed the army at • distance. He (Mr. Herbert) took every necessary precaution that neither forms nor economical considerations should militate against the efficiency of the hospital esta blishment at Scutari, and he accordingly wrote to Dr. Moneta., the head of the medical department, and to Mr. Wreford, the purveyor, and to Major dillery, the than com mandant, urging upon them strongly the simplification of all forms, and every effort was made to purchase whatever could be had on the spot; and though a check upon capes. diture was very necessary in time of peace, in time of war pounds shillings and penes were not to be put in competi toa with human lite. These mammal/lotions were in writing, and were made in consequence of statements that appeared in the press denouncing in strong terms the deficient state of the hospital. He received, however, letters from Dr. Mensies, contradicting these Instantiate in the strongest terms, the feet he believed big that there was plenty that would bear contradiction end plenty uncoatradicted, sufficient to condemn the 'ye a= ; and he wrote as these matters without being able to well weigh the evidence, and possibly in so doing he might have done injustice to persons whom subsequently he found mss oppressed with gnat difficulties, and who, though un onegessfully, were doing their best. Lord Raglan sent Dr. Hall to inspect the hospice s , at Scutari, and Dr. Hall re turned with a flour ishing amount of the state of things, seem after the battle of Mr. Herbert then proceeded * read • letter he addressed to Mr. Wreford, the , oa the llth Deessaber, directing him to g am inhie special Mention to the supply of proper emommeiseim and Mires for the expected influx of doh eel sounded, is the shape of additional beds, =mesa end stores, and giving him a curie sis all Mess mallets as regarded the expenditure.

To General Peel—He assisted to the best of his power in providin clothing for the army. Some of the boots sent 19 LS, to the Crimea wire obviously too small, and were what were called "ammunition boon." Great quantities of R . warm clothing had been procured and sent out to the is Crimea from Austria, Switzerland, and other foreign fo countries as well as from England. He received Re I. 'machine, Offieilli or otherwise, trout the Crimea of the !! want of clothing ; but he had received from General Bit- Z . sous • eamplimentary letter for the exertions be had made s t.

Me Won els - supplying elothiag for each regiment at a cot- 0 1 - lin !zed prima which left them a profit, was then abo- Ma. The pl an that was substituted was a certain died disanza• to the colonels, instead of a profit, varying in at, asneunt. There would be some saving from that change, at but not so much as was generally supposed. He himself, et however, expected a vast saving to accrue from the employ- t moat of sewing machines in the manufacture of regimental g clothing, while the sewing itself would he of a superior at. character. He did sot believe the army colonels received a let profit for supplying the clothing at the expense of the men 3 for whom it was tarnished. 111 To Mr. Hoebnek—He thought Sir Thomas Hastings had t• sated en a misapprehension of the facts when be stated that he (whams) had fur caps at 6s. 81. for the troop, M I whin law Gadd pt be get in the market for bs. 1 0d.

On this particular occasion the introduction of 13 female nurses into the hospitals had been very beneficial; but he did not think it could be permanently engrafted upon U the hospital system, in the way et lout, in which it suited S. at Seated. Same 'rhea of female nurses was highly de 'Prattle, but it was difficult to find paid female nurses who se would act with the same seal and kiadaess as volunteers. le t With the exception of two weeks, one immediately after m the last prorogation of perliatneet, and one again in Sep umber, be was in London and attending to the @idles of his 20 office from the time of the war breaking out. 11 To Mr. Lsyard—He was not in constant cammonication with those of his allonym" who were absent; but he should gt have been if it had been necessary. They were all within le reach of telegraph, sad could have come to Landon in 8 twenty-four hours at the most. All the arrangements had I been made before his colleagues left town for the Siege of se Sebastopol, and at that time they were awaiting the result. is , —(Witness than put in some official papers showing the se , steps that had been taken to embody the militia and to en- P. courses volunteers in that genies to enter the regiments of u , the line, and the results situated from the measure in the r e , way of recruiting the army.) He bad nothing to do with N the embodiment of the Foreign Legios, except as a member le of the Cabinet, sod except ineredeciag into the War-office, Lae . for a time, it number of Germans and Swiss, with the view St. to familiarising them with the duties of paymasters to that 1 IT legion. it. Mr. Drummond asked Mr. Herbert if he did not think i; g e advantageous to have a legion of Spanish bashi Nowak'? xi. (Inaghter.) so Witness made no further reply than joining in the 1 0 laugh. SS To the Chairman—He appointed the firm of Messrs. 1 2: Hayter and Howell as packers of the army stores for Om 10 Crimea. Ile was not aware that at the time of the appoin , ao ment he knew that Mr. Hayter, of that firm, was brother d SO Mr. Hayter, of the Treasury ; but if he was aware of it, hi 20 was quite save that did not iofiuence him in the appoint r; meat, which was solely made in coasideration of the high commercial reputation of Mr. Haynes firm. To Lord Seymour—He believed that the subordinates is the office of the Secretary at War were the most efficient d . 111 : any public department under the crown. From the time 'it: of the war breaking out, he made very large aed ag extra demands upon their time and exertion., and they el co-operated with him on all minions in the most heavy 61 and zealous . The efficiency of those subordinate' 10 was probably due to the system which prevailed there if at promotion by merit rather than by seniority, though thew il l were occasional departures from that rule.

Accord ingly, before leaving office, he was desirous of Wig- 10 in 6 the heads of the war departments under a board, wheh would have partly resembled that of the Admiralty, sty the Minister for War would have been more of an sutovat Itg than the First Lord of the Admiralty. That board world , have consisted of the Commander in-Chief, to govern the 11 army; the Muter-Oeneral of the Ordnance, to arm end t i equip the army; the Secretary at War, to control the 16 .

The English stock market showed a tendency to wards improvement to-day, and closed about 1 per cent. higher than yesterday. The disturbance, which was inflicted on the ordinary course of the market by the new loan, having now subsided, the steady invest ments of the public, and the decidedly easy state of the money market, have more influence upon prices. Daring the last day or two the arrangements for the settlement of the monthly account in Consols have formed the principal business of the dealers, and are invested with increased interest in view of the approaching additions to the funded debt. Stock, though not positively scarce, is far from abun dant in the market, as is sufficiently proved by the moderate amount of the charge made for carrying over purchasers' accounts to the new account of the 30th inst. The public are eagerly availing them selves of the opportunity for investment afforded by liseasor boa. sod this Basal at fresh stork , is in pro cess of being steadily and satisfactorily placed. At Paris to-day the Three per Ceat. Rentee closed a shade better than yesterday. The other contieental stock markets are quiet. At Amsterdam, Austrian and Russian stocks are declining. Console were first quoted 881 to 1 for money and to-morrow, advanced at the "option" settlement to 881 to and were last quoted 881 to 1. For the new ' account of the 30th inst. the " centring° " was 1-16 to 1 per cent. The official business report is as fol lows :—Three per Cent. Consols for money, ~ perditto tor account 10th May, 884 Three Cents. Reduced, 871, 871. New Three per Cents., 871, 88, 871, 881. Long Annuities,7expiring in 1860, 31, 3 15-16. India Stock, 230. Bank Stock, 2101, 211. India Londe, 135., 17e. prem. Business is also recorded in the nee ly created 30 years Annuities, at 1G 5-16. The omniam ruled at to prem. in the morning, but had advanced at the close to 1, to a prem. In consequence of the ease of the money market, and the demand for investment, Exchequer Bonds have risen to 991 to 1. Exchequer Dills were quoted 60. to Bs. prem. In the foreign stock market tho movement was mainly confined to Turkish, which was in consi derable favour. After rising to 741 to y the price was last quoted 74 to 1, being an advance of j per cent. sines yesterday. The rise was attributed to the growing impression that, in the present state of the Turkish exchequer, the English and French govern ments will be speedily compelled to afford their ally some pecuniary assistance, and that such assistance will be most cheaply and effectually rendered by jointly guaranteeing Turkish credit in the market. It is argued that unless this step—which, under proper regulations, need not lead to any expense whatever on the part of the guaran teeing powers—be adopted, England and Franco will soon be obliged to take upon themselves the entire charge of the maintenance of the Ottoman army. The express intimation made by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, when he invited (coders for the loan of 16,000,0001., that the English govern ment reserved to themselves the right of granting a guarantee on foreign loans, is cited in support of the probability of this assistance being extended to Tur key. As this 6 per cent. loan stands now at about 6 per cent. discount, at which figure it abows a net annual return at the rate of nearly 8 per cent. per annum (exclusive of the gradual redemption at par), any prospect of a beneficial arrangement of this cha racter naturally causes the stock to meet with favour in the market. The Arnon has arrived from Launceston, and has on freight 1,422 ounces of gold, 16,0001. in sove reigns, and 53 ounces of silver, representing a total value of about 21,6001. This week's arrivals of the precious metals are thus raised to about half a nal. lion sterling. The Tasmania has also arrived front Hobart Town, whence she sailed on the 20th Jan., but is not known to have any gold on freight.
