THE WAR. Tbe Dermas papers explain the difibrence between the mobiliation of half the Federal contingents pro posed by Metre at the Frankfort Diet and the invasivelicAaft proposed by Bavaria, and carried with the consent of Prussia, to be that ander the brow arrangement orders would at once be given to prepare the army to take the field j while under the latter the contingents would still be left in a posi tion to seed fourteen days' notice befew it oosld march. The chief point, however, which Prussia, tame, and Baxony have gained by the recent vote Is that before that fourteen days' notice can be given the confederates must again be consulted, and may again delay and maim most indispensable measures W the answer of " no instructions,* and other formal diSculties. _ _ The Committee of the Wartemberg Chamber has jot voted. by a large majority, a bill for increasing the strength of the army. • Letters from Cracow of the 29th ult. state that the milway from Vienna continued to be used almost caslastvely in the =avenues of munitions of war and materiel of every . description to Lemberg. On the other hand, every item of intelligence we receive from Poised confirms the fact that the concentration of troops is going on there every day on a more for midable scale than ever. It is chiefly on the right bank of the Vistula that the largest military forme are now stationed eve echelon. From that quarter they eau, in every case, keep up their communication with Warsaw without great difficulty, and make the citadel of Alexander their basis, while the Austrian army, in sue of a defeat, can always find rallying points under the gees of the fortresses Przempol, Oleatits, and Cracow. These old defensive works have been thoroughly restored during the last year sad armed in the most formidable manner. A letter from the Polish frontier, dated Jan. 29, states that General Hess has been indefatigably in specting the formation of the new railways, and the making of main roads and eres►roads. Bridges have bean built wherever they were wanted, and all the old roads thoroughly repaired. At Tarnow 600 men are working on the railroad in spits of the frost and heavy falls of snow. Great progress has been made is the construction of the road from Edow through Zaklaesyn to Biers, and the bridge across the Biala near Tachow is quite finished. The Lieutenant Field Marshal Count Clam left Vienna on the 30th ult. for Cracow, and General Count Schlick on the next day, for the same place. The Issdepowisnos says:—'" We hear from Vienna that Austria lain treaty with France respecting an auxiliary corps of 150,000 men." Very many Continental journals circulate the state ment that a French army corps, destined to act on the frontiers of Russia, is about to march through Germany. The Cologne Conte says: The French trees, which will be eosoentrated on the "adhere frontier of Bohemia, era to proceed to that locality through Vienna. , The Post Gazette, of Frankfort, states that an ar rangement has been concluded between France and ,(►ustria, with respect to the passage of Piedmontese troops through the Austrian territory. The letter adds, that a conference took place on the subject between M. Drouyn de Lhuys and the Prussian Ambassador at Paris, Another mount states that, in order not to roues the jealousies of the German Confederation, the French army will make its way to the frontiers of Buena by way of Piedmont, Lombardy, and Vienna; and that it will march as soon as it shall become evident, in the course of the conferences at Vienna, that Russia was not sincere in her offer to accept the four guarantees as the basis of peace. According to the Danube (Journal of Violas), letters from hew, of the 26th January, state that numerous reinforcements are bong sent to the Crimea. Two divisions of Grenadiers, more than 15,000 Tirailleure from Siberia and Orenburg, and 15 battalions of reserve have occupied Pertkop. A third corps, commanded by General Read, holds the second line of Bessarabia—its columns reach as far as Chotin. Ismail, Kilia, and Bender have received 8,000 men. General Siewers is organising the Baltic corps; each regiment has 8 battalion of the line and 4 of reserve. The Corriere Dalian° calculates that Russia will soon have in Poland a force of 150,000 men under Prime Paskiewitch. A treaty of alliance, says the Independents, is reported to be on the eve of being signed with Por tugal on the same conditions as those made in the recent treaty with Piedmont. The Portuguese legion wiU, it is said, be 12,000 men. The same journal learns from Switzerland that recruiting is going en very actively there for Frame and England. The German papers agree in repreeenting General Welden's businese to be, to prepare the way for a 'operate treaty between Prussia, Franco, and Eng land. Austria, since the rejection of her proposition in the Diet, has urged upon the Western Powers the desirability of a treaty which would at least draw Prussia closer to the allies, although no one appears to expect that the cabinet of Berlin is one whit more disposed than it was six months ago to take part in the war. HOW OUR SOLDIERS FARE IN THE CRIMEA. CAMP OF THE LIGHT DIVISION, JAN. 19. There feu been a stir among the staff, and Lord Raglan has himself appeared in various directions; bat the errors have accumulated in too great num ber, and the mischief is too deep, to be easily rectified. Our rations are still short; the men have very little of their winter clothing, and we have not our huts yet. The sickness continues very great, notwithstanding the French took away :some for us a few days sines, and that wiient some away , also by cavalry horses : we have upwards of 1,200 sick in the Light Division alone. I hear, on the very best authority, that oar army is now reduced to 11,000 effective men, and the number is daily dimi nishing. The true numbers of sick are not Dint home officially, and I will tell you one way in which this occurs. Each regiment has a certain number of hospital tents, my five or six. The men admitted sick into these are the worst cuss, and they are regularly put on the sick list, entered into the proper books, snd these only are returned as the sick of the regiment. Bat there are numerous others who. from simple illuer. or diarrhoea, or nom lame feet, are unable to do deny‘ Thies men " attend hospital," as tt is inßel4 got advise and medicine, and so many day s' Ism inee duty. Perhaps they get worse, when tlff see admitted, if spun should be found, in the pllll iss i l tents; perhaps they get better, and are d* to ditty. These siek are never returned in the statements ae part of the sick of the regiment. the Minister at WIC with as may see only 60 sick returned in a given regiment, while very like double or treble that number are unable to duty on asesent of sickness. This is only one among many ether sources of error in the statistical meant, of &fume sent home.

Oa the 19th September, at 8 o'clock a.m., firing commenced on the town from the batteries' of the fort. A steady fire was big up and retareed un ffinchingly by the enemy. During the day Captain Bird (who was ever pressat directing the men) re oeived a slight wound from a ball in the um, but happily without any bad moss. One corporal sad three privates were shot ead, and twentrfour Privates dangerously wounded. The firing was kept up for several days at intervals; finally, the rebels completely vacated the town, which le now a perfect ruin, every house having been destroyed by fire. The rebels, about three thousand, are at present encamped in the neighbourhood of Christiansborg. The town of Toggle, situate about five miles from Christiansborg, has been levelled by her Majesty's ship Scourge.

In a letter, dated Betakes. the 19th January, we find the following passage The character of the Res as soldier promote a serious study—at least it dose so to me. Netwithstandleg the very strict eiders which lifentchileff has issued to his soldiery, to abstain from attacking or maltreating a fallen enemy, the Buena private cannot refrain from inatinning to set ue be was wont to do when fighting with the Cirmadan. Bidden, the fiendish spirit within him for the moment overcomes all scruples about disobeying orders. and he cares only to satisfy his &shags of revenge and bigoted fanaticism, which the' work ' atoned him serves only to augment. On the other hand, look at the Russia' prisoner. He has become as quiet and docile as a lamb; he is harmless, contented, and selhaerificiog, and fulfils any little order or commission with faithfulness and punctuality. This latter trait in the Russian prisoner oar hospital authorities here appear to have detested, as several of them have been and are still being employed to attend the sick and wounded. What I have said above refers to the Russian moldier generally —of eourse, there are exception, as in every rule. Different again from the postmen are the deserters. These are all ran& of the worst description; they are impudent, vulgar, and cunning, and great thieves, pocketing with the greatest coolness any small article that they thick they an lay hands on without fear of detection, and denying or accounting for the set in some lausible manner, when detected. They cannot be employed in the camp or in the trenches, either for heavy or for light work, and are therefore generally pat into some ship bound is ballast for some 'foetid' port, where they are left to their own TIMOIVOIM Those navvies who have arrived here, have not been able to set about their work yet, for which they were sent out, as the hard frost would very muck impede the laying down the lines. They are at present down in the trenches, shovelling out the snow, which in some places has drifted to a depth of three to four feet. Several sledges have been started, and their number increases from day to day. They are a very simple contrivance, and have generally been knocked together by some of the Tartar population, or by some of the prisoners. , " The conveyance of the wooden huts is still =tog very slowly, owing to the great want of FRANCE. (raom THIS )arr OP 1111 DAILY DIMS) PARIS, MONDAY EVIIIIIIIOI _ . I am positively sewed today that the march of a French army to the Rhine early in the spring is fully resolved upon, and that the Emperor will take the command in person. General Schram will command the first division of this army, and Gemmel De Goyon the second. Many other officers have already been appointed to important commands. It is currently reported that before going to the Rhine the Emperor will pay his long expected visit to London at the end of this month or the beginning of March. The following telegraphic despatch has been received to-day : Mazensuata, Faa. 6.—Two steamers, which left Con. staatbsople, ens on Jae. 23, and the other ea Jan. 29. have arrived here is the night and this morning. Veley-Pacha, nominated Governor of Ermine, is replaced at the Embassy et Paris by Mehemet-Bey, eon of Resebil-Pasha. The cur rents of water produced by the melting of the snow have tine some injury to the earthworks before Sebastopol, but the damage was promptly repaired. The whole of the third division et the Frew& army have taken the place of the English is the treaebee, and are eontinuing the work.. The assalser &ebb now fit for duty before Sebastopol is from IMOD ft 13,000, a vast number being in the hospitals and matmlaafts. Lately, a thousand couvalsesent soldiers ireach and English, left Constantinople to rejoin their errs in the Crimea. The Bourse today was very heavy, owing, so far as I can learn, to rumours of the approaching march of a French army to the Rhine.

The Univers announces the conversion to the Roman catholic faith of the Rev. Edmund Ffoulkse, of the University of Oxford, where he was nominated Margaret professor of theology at Jesus College in 1853. The new convert, the Univers states, is about to publish a pamphlet under the title of " One more Return from Captivity, or my Submission to the Catholic Church," in which he will explain bib motives for leaving the church in which he had boss brought up. The Gazette de 11-asee relates a small miracle. In a gammons of Dauphine a young man, on approach ing the urn to draw a number which was to decide whether he should serve in the army or not, made the sign of the cross. A burst of laughter from the spectators was repressed by the sub-prefect and the mayor, who both made speeches to the effect that there was nothing laughable in the performance of a religions ceremony at one of the most solemn mo ments of a man's life. They did not understand that the object of the young man in making the holy sign, was to obtain divine aid to put a number in his hand which should exempt him from serving. Ile did in fact draw the lowest number bat one. The Steele observes that it is fortunate for France that all inchoate recruits have not the same degree of faith united to the same antipathy for military ser vice ea the youth in question. The Siaete eulogises warmly the splendid and meet' affecting spectacle presented in the British Rouse of Commas on Friday last, on the occasion of the vote of thanks awarded to General De Lacy Ryan". for his brilliant services in the Crimea.

The same journal informs us that" the most pious majesty of our lord the King" has placed the entire army under the especial protection of the Virgin* Immaoolata. How far may this fact effect the character of the arm y ! What influence may it exercise on the poll dal destinies of Europe! One fears to ester on such speculations, but at present the soldiers look so very nice and clean, and stand sentinel so magnanimously by the side of a saint, that it is to be hoped they will confine their military feats to religious proces sions and still continue in the same heavenly road. In the midst, however, of this spiritual intoxication the Neapolitans have been unable to restrain their wit, and already have they christened the recent grand procession, that of the pemiques ' on account of the number of wigs in demand on that day. Even the shops and the store-rooms of the theatres, say the wags, were emptied on that day. The birthday of the heir apparent, on the 16th, went off very well: be is a great favourite hers.

Snow apps led on the top of Vesuvius and on the range of distant mountains behind Naples. A few hours suffice to melt it entirely. Vesuvius has not yet vomited forth his threatened fire, much to the disappointment of visitors, and, I may say, of natives, too—as the ashes form a fins manure and promise a good harvest. I find, how ever, that there ought to have been an eruption, as letters of condolence have arrived from Nies, the scene of the recent shock of an earthquake, on the supposition that Naples and Rome, St. Peter's and King Bombes pekoe, are all nearly destroyed.

St.• The very brilliant soirée last night at the residence of Count Boot was attended, to the great astonish ment of the company, by Prince Gortchakoff, Prince Demidoit General Count Btakelberg, and all the attachés of the Bassists embassy. Baron von Brack's arrival from Constantinople is expected to-morrow; and his successor as Internun do, Baron von Koller, late Austrian envoy at Kano re., and whose sudden recall has caused so much veoulation, will start for his new post the same day. Baron Bruck will instal himself immediately as Finance Minister. - I;lWestmarslaad and Baron de Bourqueney have both received instructions from their respective courts not to hold any official communication with Prince fiortchakoff till the ministerial crisis in London is over and the new cabinet formed. It is not true, as stated in several papers, that the works for blasting the rocks in the bed of the Danube, at the narrow part known as the Iron Gate, have already commenced. A commission of engineer officers has been down to examine the spot and make tangible meanie for deepening the channeL They have just completed their work, and presented their report to the government. They recommend the channel to be made on the side nearest the right bank. It will be 1,200 yards long, 40 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. This will give plenty of additional depth for the steamers and other loaded vessels. The number of workmen to be employed on this gigantic under taking is 2,000, and the work will extend over a period of six years, at a cost of two millions of florins. Th. Prince *Morelli sent an officer to Old Orsova to assure the commission of his readiness to grant the Austrians every facility on his part in the execution of this important improvement of the navigation of the Danube.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY This afternoon the United States mail steam ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived in the Mersey with the usual mails from the United States. She left New York on the 24th ult., and has brought, besides the mails, 61 passengers and 76,000 doll. in specie on freight. The royal mail steamer Canada, from this port, had arrived at Boston on the 10th ult. The screw steamer Glasgow cleared at New York for Glasgow on the 19th ult. Although the advioes by this arrival are eight days later than those previously to hand, yet during that space of time nothing of mach importance or interest bad transpired. In the political world the principal topic of conversation related to imminent changes in the cabinet. Mr. Guthrie, it was stated at the latest date, had not positively resigned, but the President was acquainted with his intention to leave offios at an early day. It was confidently predicted that Governor Marcy may go to Europe. The cabinet is, and has been amteable. Ex Governor Seymour prefers to stay at home. The democratic senators held a meeting at Wash ington to express the sentiments of their party on the question of Know Nothingism. They adjourned, however, without coming to any definite conclusion. Mr. Dix is warmly pressed for the French mis sion, in the event of a vacancy, by his New York friends. The withdrawal of a portion et the American Mediterranean fleet was under consideration. It is opposed by Commodore Smith of the Navy. The suspension of Page, Bacon, and others was being followed by many failures in different portions of the Union. One of the heaviest produce houses is New Orleans failed on the 22nd from this cause. The liabilities of thou houses that failed on the 20th are estimated at two and a halt million of dollars. Their assets, however, exceed that sum, and it is thought they will all resume business. Failures were apprehended at Cincinnati and Louis ville in consequence of those which have taken place in New Orleans. The recent failure of three heavy banking houses at Bt. Louis, a similar establish ment at New Orleans, and a firm engaged in the cotton trade at the same place, likewise the suspension of a prominent com munise house at Louisville, are all recorded. Whea it was announced in Bt. Louis that the doors of the banking house of Page and Bacon were closed, them was a sudden upheaving in all the ramifica tions of Samos and trade, and business men ran to and fro with utter amazement pictured upon every countenance. Banks and broken were beset on every side, and bills and drafts were thrust upon them by crowds of eager creditors. The shock was tremendous; and though all seemed to feel a sympa thy for Messrs. Page and Banco, and the oth er respectable banking houses of Bt. Louis, yet very few could be restrained from making their demands upon them, and contributing thereby to increase the excitement. The malt was the stoppage of two or three other hones., and the shaking, peit:F.t, of the whole banking business of the city. At last accounts, however, the panic had nearly subsided, and the conviction that the suspension of Page and Bacon was only temporary, had caused a return of confi dence among the citizens, and financial affairs re sumed their quiet aspect.

The result is that a feeds supply of penes. springs up ruined in character b 7 imprison' meat and reckless by despair of ever recovering their peo Mice in society ' who rush madly into crime, sad bosom, formidable and dangerous to the community. The loge of position thus produced frequently entails a much severer punishment than that imposed by the law. Perm* damaged in character lose their employment; want sm 'endow evil thoughts, and slight temptations afsse, wham the mind is willing, to lead into crimes that are followed by consequence' still more disastrous. And when the part of throe evils may be traced to the intimacies in prisons, the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from this state of things is, that every humus suggestion should be listened to, and every mane adopted to spare, U posit ble. a first imprisonment." The Ordinary then urges the necessity of keep ing persons imprisoned for the first time in a state of silence, but quits aoart from each other ; and proceeds to point oat, by the effects of imprisonment, how and why the present system fails. " Imprisonment fails among many of the jacinths offendsee, and the reasons of this failure are several. Till manse In which these children have been brought up has umeh Solo with the unfortunate results of their imprimi s's% when tar sass little offence these parties ate brought fist sbn lest time within prison walls, they exhibit groat tamer and dismay, indicating the deterring effects of prisons on the mess of the population. Bush terror soon wears off. They them find themselves fed regularly at stated times (to them an entire change) ; they are compulsorily kept clean t their bedding is sufficient; if medical aid be necessary, it is at hand. They aro, therefore, positively improved by their punishment ; and could they be allowed to run in and out at pleasure, they would, I am sure, become voluntary in mates for a large portion of their time. "To persons experienced in the character of this clue of the community, the failure of imprisonment in effecting a reform is a matter of no astonishment. When brought within the walls of a prison they rapidly become much worse. The exciting life of a thnif attracts them ; tht dexterity required Aleuts them; to its shame and do gradation they am insensible. Its pleasure and profit outweigh every other consideration. And the explana tion is before you why for thirty or forty times thus ambits" are imprisoned; and the secret, or, rather the' MAIM why incarceration foils is Palpable; You amok in feet, punish such boys. Your dietary is an improvement on their mode of living, and nothing you ate inflict yid degrade them. They are brought up in such a 'prowlers' and hardy manner that public feeling and com mon propriety will allow of none to be so kept in a prison as they are fed out of its walls. I am greatly in hopes that long periods of imprisonment with this class, and the em ployment of that long interval in Industrial permits, may have a happy effect; but I have greet doubts that many will not prefer (for some year., at least,) their evil courses to their reformed habits. The sending abroad of such pri soners after their probationary imprisonment adds greatly tothe hopes of their doing well, and, at least, takes away the fear of their again becoming troublesome lbs mam a. nity here. Imprisonment fails also with many who maks dishonesty a trade, and the reasons that apply here to account for this defect are of a ehareeter much different from the other, though to a great 'Mont the other reasoning applies. "A repulse London thief has by his life become in a great degree' spoiled for the useful purposes of society. The de graded habits of this clue are in a considerable deers* un known. The most uncomfortable lodgings in the narrowest alleys, and in the dirtiest houses, of the metropolis, are their habitations. No ono who has not visited th ese a bodes it misery can conceive the intense poverty and the attar degradation in which these parties live. It will answer no beneficial purpose to unveil these scene'. It suffices to say that there is no poverty so , and in many cases there are no suffering. so hopeless, as t hose endured by the lowest class of the dishonest population. They are not, except is extreme sickness, fever, or pestilence, burdensome on the poor rate. Their pursuits are incompatible with the visi tations of relieving officers; and they pine and suffer a great deal more than the community, by the plunder of whom the) live, are aware or believe.'. After making several comments upon the ticket•of.leavo system, widths punishments inflicted for offences committed by hardened criminals, the Ordinary concludes an elaborate report, bearing strong indications of thought and expo rience, in these words—" I think mom towards the suppres sion of crime is to be don, by avoiding first imprisonments for small offences, than by the witty and Immtnin attempts at the reformation of dioharfied offenders." 8P OBTING. ALLS.-MONDAY. LITIRPOOL SYSRPLICILASR.—The current of favour brought Trout to the top. At Btol he was backed for some money, and was steadily looking up at the close. Barion had apparently the call of Miss Mowbray. GA RAY MITROYOLITAN STAXlL—Pharsalus and Fan. clasp were the only horses in demand for this event. Each was backed at improved pekes. CILISTIR Cur.—Andnver'a position WAS considerably strengthened. After 1,000 to 60 had been booked tom, Miens sums were invested en him at 16 to 1. Bright Bisbee was backed for upwards of 25W. at 40 to 1; and 1.010 te 119 and 1,000 to 20 were token about Weathercock. lisedwg assorted to determine the relative positions of the moo time loading favourites—the /Weer, NA therm, and Arthur Wellesley. Two Two Tgoosaam.—St. Hubert was backed for up wind, of 3001. at 3 to 1 ; and Lord of the Isles was in great how et 9 to 2 and 4to 1. The latter odds were not obtainable at the close. 4to I was taken to some money about Bongo Morn i and 10 to 1 and 9 to 1 about Polydoro-900 to 100 was booked in ono bet. Ton Dnaisr.—Notwithstanding a heavy investment on. St. Hubert at 15 to 2, he wee still unable to maintain his ground ; 8 to 1 was repeatedly laid in hundreds, and the principal layer was desirous of going on. Lord of the Isles was decidedly second favourite, 12 to 1 would have been taken freely. Ormolus Reorients deeliaed to 15 to 1, taken to 3001., and Cruiser was backed against him for 2,000 even; subsequently several other sums were laid oat in the same way. The odds against the Cruiser at the eon were 100 to 8. The opposition which (Nadas encountered was partly in jest, partly in earnest; it was, however, so well mind up that it was a task of no slight difficulty to draw a line between the two; a bet of 4,000 to 200 at last quietly settled the question. Bto Imu taken to 2001. about him and St. Hubert coupled. 760 to 60 was taken about Rifle man. 1,000 to 45 twice about Bonnie Morn. 1,000 to 20 each Vexation colt and Clementina colt, and 2,000 to 30 Rotheram.
