The French Government, it is stated, on authority which, though not unquestionable, is still entitled to respect, has determined to recognise the new king dank without further delay. Apart from the special source whence this intelligence oomes, there are many reasons which incline us to believe that it may le well-founded. Whatever may have been the ori ginal differences between the Italian scheme of r!ount Cavorn and that of the French Emerson, the policy of the former has now achieved not only a material but a splendid moral triumph, which is the best evidence of its wisdom and the surest pledge of its permanent success. The work which the PRI Xi MINISTER of Italy accomplished commends itself to the enlightened judgment and moral judgment of Europe as that of a profound and' far-sighted statesman whose policy was based not on any narrow or local considerations merely, but on the widest survey and most search ing estimate of all the political forces and inter national relationships of the time, and who, there fore. had regard from the first to the existing wants and future welfare of Europe as well as of Italy. For more than fifty years Europe has been the active battle-field of two forces which, as the essential constituents of political life and pro gress, cannot be divorced without fatal results —the forces of freedom and order. No doubt in some shape or other the conflict is se old as human society, but it can exist in • conscious and active form only amongst highly civilised and intelli gent races. The French revolution determined this conflict on the Continent, and ever since Europe, if not divided into hostile camps, has been penodicslly convulsed by violent struggles between the representatives of liberty and law. But many causes, amongst which the intelligence of the people was not the least active, conspired to make Italy the .very centre and focus of this struggle. It was the scene of incessant and perpetual disturbances—the very hot-bed of conspiracy, insurrection, and revolutionary efforts—a political volcano always smouldering, j and liable at any moment to break forth in new and desolating eruptions. In a word, the political condition of the Peninsula was a chronic source of disturbance and danger to Europe. To remove that danger was the greatest political problem of the age. The nval part iw in the struggle had become so embit tered against each other, that the task of recon ciling the powers they represented, of berme nning established government with full poli tical freedom, seemed a hopeless one. The ex isting governments ruthlessly destroyed all liberty, and the revolutionists were madly bent on de stroying all existing authority. Any man who talked of • king or a constitution wee regarded as little better than a traitor. To heal this fatal breach, and restore unity and freedom to his deso- lated country, was the task to which Cavort devoted every energy of his capacious intellect, every passion of his noble nature, and every hour of his laborious life. The work is done. Italy is united and free. The Italians en joy the bleedngs of pesos and prosperity under a liberal and constitutional government. But if this is a great result for Italy, it is ingresnlile to over estimate its value and importance to Europe at large. Every nation in Europe is stranger from the strength of the Italians, and has a fresh security of its own peace and prosperity in the peace and prosperity of Italy. Instead of being • menace end peril to Europe, the Southern Peninsula is sow a bulwark against lawless revolution on the one hand, and despotic power on the other. lu a word, the new Kingdom is the strongest gua rantee that could possibly have been devised for securing the peace of Europe, and Loris NA- Potion is far too usgacious not to be fully aware of the fact. The sudden removal of Count Carona renders it the more important that the work he has ao onsidished should be Secured in its integrity and established in the strongest form. It ia emential for Europe that this should bo done, and done without delay. The limparor of the Faucet', we cannot doubt, sees clearly enough this necessity, and is prepared lo set upon it. He is represented, in addressing the representative of Vorroe Eflif•NCIL, to have said, referring to Count CAVOUI'S death, "that while " Italy had lost in him an able and devoted sem " rant, who beet responded to the necessities of " tho situation, Europe had lost in him one of the " strongest pillars of a liberal conservative policy." The loos being a European one, it becomes the libe ral 4iovernmente of Europe to do what they can to . . avert any public evils it might be likely to produce. The Great Minister who not only mined Italy but kept all her enemies in awe, is now in his grave, but he has bequeathed to Western Europe the heritage she will tbsokfully accept, of doing her utmost to support, strengthen, and consolidate the new Kingdom. England has already recognised Vicron Fareaorxx as King of Italy; and now, in the hour of deep sorrow sod anxiety which has bushed all rivalry and united all differences, it is an act of comiderste friendship and sympathy no less than of politic duty and national interest for France to recognire the broad kingdom tor. The Italian policy of the two Western Powers will THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1861. thus be once more united, and at the grave of esvorn they will formally pledge themselves in the most public and solemn manner to recognise and support the Kingdom his genius snd• courage did so much to create. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, FIUDAT MOINDIO. ' The Monikur of to-day publishes the usual monthly return of the Bank of France, which shows the following results as compared with the May account : Noises'. Cash in hand l9l millions. Treasury balance Currents account Dscsssas. Bank notes 3l If Bills discounted, not yetdue I Advancee The coin and bullion have increased about 800,0001. As there is also an increase of a million and a quarter sterling in the private deposits, the amount of notes in circulation has diminished to the extent of 1,240,0001. INDIA. By the arrival of the Overland Mail we receive advices from Calcutta to May 8; Madras, May 14. There is no news of importance. The papers are still discussing Mr. Laing's financial statement. The following is from the Lun e of India: Although the pressing necessity for aid from England to the famine stricken districts has passed away, the liberality which sent out 20,0001. as a fleet instalment is appreciated here., And it may be required. At present even Bengal and the most fertile parts of Madras feel the want of rain. The famine still prevails as severely as ever in the districts of the North-West and Punjab. Isis impossible to depend with any certainty on the rains of July and subsequent months, and all pad analogy in against the probability of • copious fall. Should they fail the generosity of England will be sorely tried. There have been two sense of affrays in the indigo dis tricts attended with loss of life. In one instance a native deputy collector, who had gone to • subdivision of Jerson to try a rent case, when attempting to disperse an illegal assembly, was beaten and had to flee for his life. When the magistrate, after investigating the case next morning, tried to arrest the guilty parties, be and the police with bim were attacked by the peasantry, and three men were killed and three wounded. In another instance, while the hired ser vants of one of the Bengal Indigo Company's factories were engaged in weeding • piece of land, part of which had been decreed by the court as belonging to the factory, they were attacked by an armed band of ryota, and one man was speared to death. It appears from the report of one of the special commissioners, that the rvota boldly declare they have combined not to pay rents. to add to the difficulties of the Bengal government, the Soathals have been led to swum an uneasy attitude, on account of suits for the en harassment of their rents and preware exercised by the money lenders. Sir William Denison returned to Madras from Calcutta on the 13th ult. So far as is yet known, the volunteering for the new regiments of the line, formed out of the local European Corps, has been almost universal. A gentleman has been appointed to report on the districts in Bengal which are capable of pro ducing cotton. It is reported that the Madras Chamber of Com merce has applied to government for the services of a gentleman to visit the cotton districts. Tel thousand Shane have, it is reported, emi grated into British Burniah, where they have been allowed to settle. CHINA. There is very little news from China. The most important fact of the fortnight is perhaps that announced by telegraph, of the establishment of the British and French embassies in Pekin. The China Mail says : The tags of both nations were hoisted in the capital on the 26th Yar.a. On the 25th March M. de Bourhosion, attended by an escort of gendarmes and artillery, and ac companied by Count Klececowsky and Baron de Northam, his Secretaries of Legation, entered Pekin, and took up his residence in the Tartar city, near that of the Russian am bamador. On the following day Mr. Brum, attended by an escort of Sikh Cavalry, and accompanied by Lientenant•Colonel Neale, his secretary, and Messrs. St. Clair and Wyndham, attaches of legation, entered the capi tal, and took up his residence in the neighbourhood of the other ambassadors. These proceedings appeared to IA quietly viewed by the populace, and there was every pros pect of the foreign representatives meeting with a Wiese tory reception. M. de Bourhoulon's introduction to Prises Kung was to take place on the following day ; Mr. Bruce had already been introduced to that dignitary. It has been resolved by the Chinese govern ment to open schools in Pekin for instruction in the English tongue, and it is proposed to send • few Chinese youths to England to acquire our language. By the lest advice, there is no mention made of the Emperors return to the capital, although that event is believed to be elms at band. It appears that only a very few of the fine collec tion of books is the Imperial library of the Summer Palace have been saved by Mr. Wade. Fortunately for themselves, the Chinese have three or four duplicates of this collection ; so that in burning the Summer Palace Library the loss has chiefly been our own. In Japan matters were going on quietly. From Tien-tain there is no news of any import ance. The forces stationed there were in good health, and enjoying the return of spring. The accounts from Shanghae have reference to the fluctuations of the Imperialist and rebel cause. The insurgents have recently made a move in the direction of Hangkowe, it is supposed with a view to take the various places we had marked out as porta. AUSTRALIA. General Cameron arrived on the 30th of March at Waitara, and proceeded on to Auckland. Major- Garners! Pratt left Waiters on the 3rd of April, in her Majesty's c.a. Victoria, and arrived at Mel bourne on the 12th of April. The Victoria, pre vious to leaving New Zealand, conveyed Governor Brown from Auckland to Waiters, on the 30th of March. The official return of killed and wounded bad not yet appeared. A correspondent of the Melbourne Argueva list of such as were k nown : Killed 40th Regiment : Private R. Jeffrey Private J. Watson, Pri vate M. Roche ; Lieut. !'Naughton, Royal Artillery. Wounded—Royal Artillery :J. Radford, Sergeant Christy, slightly ; 40th Regi ment : Lieut. Rees, severely ; Lieut. Whelan, slightly ; Private R. Carey, severely ; Private J. Clonan, severely. There was no change in the political situation at Melbourne. Parliament had been engaged during the month in discussing questions arising out of the estimates. The house had voted a sum of 79,0001. for immigration for the current year. Ministers had assented to the second reading of the bill for the abolition of the duty on gold, but had stated that they would endeavour in committee to fix the amount of duty at Is. per ounce, leaving the reduc tion to commence in 1862. It was thought this proposition would be agreed to. Ministers had introduced a bill for the better administration of law on the gold fields. The bill to abolish state aid to religion was to come on in a day or two. Major- General Pratt had received the thanks of the house for his services in the New Zealand war. Of the gold fields the Melbourne Herald writes: The total amount of gold brought to town by escort during this year up to date has been 545,036 condo, which at 41. per ounce would be worth 2,180,1441., Naiad 585,695 ounces for the corresponding period of hurt year, worth 2,342,7801. The shipments for the same periods amounted to 601,138 ounces for 1861, valued at 2,404,552/. against 571,288 ounces, valued at 2.285,154/. During the pest month the escorts have shown a slight falling off as com- pared with last year, the numbers being 141,079 and 150,451 ounces respectively, while during the name period the ship ments showed a considerable excess, there having been 169,107 ounces expected hat month, instead of 124,849 ounces as in 1860. There have been no new rushes of much importance dur ing the month, and with the exception of some floods, by which a considerable amount of damage was done, nothing baa occurred to interrupt the even tenor of life upon the gold fields. The accounts from Mountain Creek are very satisfactory, and the late supply of water has been taken advantage of to wash • considerable amount of stuff, much of which ham turned out extremely rich. The event of the month, so far as the goldfields are concerned, has been the attention which ham been paid to several new discoveries, having for their object the utilisation of " tailings; as quarts from which the gold has been partially extracted is termed hr the gold miner. In our last summary we gave an account of Mr. Porter's patented procem of abstr acting gold from quarts by Ca, from which so much was then expected. Repeated trials of this prone. have since been made with more or less nieces, and one or two other processes have been brought into competition with it. From Sydney we learn that the Upper House was still further altering the Land Bills, so that the government will probably abandon them. An address had been voted in the Assembly for 60,0001. for assisted immigration. At the meeting on April 24 of the Bank of New South Wales a dividend of 15 per cent. was an nounced. It was decided to open an establishment in New Zealand. The South AnsUslian Parliament was opened on April 26. The Governor's speech is of a cheering character. He says : I shall awn to be laid before you a despatch received from the Duke of Newoutle, stating that her Majesty will be advised to introduce a bill into the Imperial Parliament to give her Majesty power to mane: to South Australia the tract of land lying between our western boundary and the eastern boundary of Western Australia ; and a/so, at some future time, to extend this colony northward.

Although reported words and patent acts of the French Emperor have in these latter times betrayed a hesitation in regard to the independence of Italy, and a sort of looking back to the miserable scheme of Villafranca, I think I cannot be mistaken in now saying that the tendencies of the hour are more favourable than they were at any period before Count Cavour's death. In the opinion of those most likely to know, the Emperor, as a "man of his epoch," professes to be more than ever con vinoed that the temporal power of the Popo can not be preserved. He will still temporise, still propose expedients which ha knows neither party will accept, but be hopes that the Pope will finally see that the interests of the church point to the abandonment of Rome, and will certainly not impose upon Victor Emmanuel, as a condition of recognising his title of the King of Italy, any permanent obligation to maintain the sovereignty of the Pope even in his pMeent restricted dominion. The jesuitical journals throughout the world are making a most unnecessary fuss about the fact of Count Cavour having received the ordinary sacraments of the Roman catholic church before he died. To read them you would suppose that the noble deceased had abjured the religion in which he was born, and that his death-bed conversion was an event of first-rate importance. The sober truth, as given by your Turin cor respondent, entirely swords with all the reliable information received here. There is no thing in the antecedents of Count Cavour to afford the slightest presumption that he would have re pudiated the extreme unction of the catholic church. The only way in which the melancholy matter-of course news could have been tortured into political consequence would have been by showing that the priest who attended him in his latter momenta had been specially authorised by Rome to grant the rites of the church to an excommunicated man, or had taken upon himself to receive his recantation. Not only is there no evidence, no probability of any such recantation having taken place, but posi tive; and uncontradicted testimony, added to the presumption arising from the well-known liberal character of the officiating priest, proves in the strongest manner that the whole story is the weaken of all possible inventions. Cavour, in his dying momenta, received the Roman catholic sacrament just in the same spirit as he might have received it in the pride and fulness of health, and never for an instant contemplated any retraciation of his political opinions concern ing the temporal power of the Pope, or any repen tance for the part he had taken&in diminishing de facto the extent of the Papal States. This fact is admitted with wailing and vituperation by the Os :eke de France, which says that the archiepiscopal authorities of Turin knew nothing, and permitted nothing, relating to the administration of the last rites of the church to Count Cavour, and iisinuatas that he must have received them at the hands of " • priest unfaithful to his duty." The fact is, that the rabid Roman catholic.; bite the dust with rage because Cavour was not refused Christian It appears that although M. Grapier de Caseag nee is to resume his thunder in the Coustitutioluis/, he will not supersede M. Grandguillot as redacteur en chef. His engagement is to contribute six lead ing articles per month, and, unless he should diate the character attributed to his pen by, M. Limayrao (who succeeds him in the direction of the Patric), these articles will be, in the strictest sense of the word, "governmental." The readiness of M. de Cassagnac to play such a part (notwithstand ing the embolic flag which he sometimes hangs out with much ostentation) was shown in hia last speech in the Corps Legialatif, when he said, 66 am accused of not being independent ; ever sines I have sat in this house, I have uniformly voted with the majority ; do you admit that you are not inde pendent 1" This logic calls to mind the celebrated apostrophe of M. Guizot, " Gentlemen, do you feel yourselves corrupt ?" For the last two days we have been enj o yi ng come real summer weather, notw ithstanding the heavy rain on June 8 (St. Medard). This happy change gives credit to a French proverb, which attributes to St. Barnabas, whose fesat occurs on the 11th, the power of neutralising the malign influence of St. MedarcL It was fine here on St. Barnabas' day (let Pimlico rejoice),, and it has been fine ever since.

By this arrival we receive intelligence from Melbourne to April 26 Sydney to April 24, from Adelaide to April 26. The most interesting news in the Australian papers relates to the termination of the New Zealand war. During the truce, which commenced on the 13th and ended on the 15th of March, terms were offered to the native rebels by Governor Brown in the fol lowing address : fiapurona and Ngatiawa,—For 12 months you have been carrying arms against her Majesty the Queen and the autho rity of the law. You have now laid down your arms, and expressed your desire for place. Believing you to be sin cere, I have come from Auckland far the purpose of stating the terms upon which it will be granted, and upon which her Majesty's pa:km pardon and protection will be extended to you. They are as follow :-1. The investigation of the title and the survey of the land at Waiters to be continued and completed without interruption. 2. Every man to be per mitted to state his claims without interference, and my de claim, or the decision of such persons as I WWI appoint, to be cooclusive. 3. All the land in possession of her Ma jesty's forces belonging to those who have borne arms against her Majesty, to be disposed of by me as I may think 6t. 4. All guns belonging to the government to be re turned. 5. AB plunder taken from the settlers to be forth with restored. 6. The Ngatlawa who have borne arms against the government must submit to the Queen and to the autho- rity of the law, and not resort to force for the redress of I wrongs, real or imaginary. 7. As I did not nes force for the acquisition of land, but for the vindication of the law and for the protection of her Majesty's na tive subjects in the exercise of their just rights, I sha ll divide the land which I have stated my intention to dispose of amongst its former o but I shall reserve the sites of the block- houses and bts, and a small piece of land round each, for the public use, and shall exercise the right of m a king roads through the Waiters district. On your subm ission to these terms you will come under the protection of the law, and enjoy your property, both lauds and goods, without molestation. Those terms were not accepted, and on the 15th ' hostilities were renewed. On that morning 370 men of the 57th and 65th advanced to the front, and divided into working parties and ooverers. The sap leading to Te-Arei was resumed, and a branch map carried from No. 8 redoubt, to sweep the rifle-pits on the verge of the valley. About 7 o'clock Captain Mercer arrived from Waiters, with 60 of the Royal Artillery, three Armstrong guns, and two 5-inch and two pinch mortars. All our works went on without the slightest sign of opposition from the enemyuntil 11 o'clock when the white flag was lowered ffom the Maori staff, and re- I placed by a blood-red war tieg. In a few minutes it was lowered, and one solitary shot from the natives invited to the combat. The troops were not yet allowed to reply, and the Maories, after hoisting and lowering their war flag three times, opened fire in good earnest, and poured volleys from their pits. Our fire was excellent and fear fully destructive. The firing continued throughout Saturday , and Sunday, and up till 5 o'clock, when it ceased, and the natives yielded again, and this time finaly hoisting the white flag. The Waikatos retreated to their own country, owing to a loss of 300 out of 1,500 men, and Wiremu Kingi retired, though without accepting the terms offered. These results are announced in the following letter from the Governor : New Plymouth, Apn7 9.

A Vienna correspondent of the Inckspendance Beige states that the Austrian government had received official communication of a despatch ad dressed by M. Thouvenel to K de Monstrei, form ing a second reply to a protest which Count Reoh berg, simultaneously with the Court of Madrid, had addressed to the Cabinet of the Tuileries. He gives the following as the substance of this im portant document : The Imperial Cabinet describes the situation, and proves that its acting es it believes in the interest of Europe in no longer adjourning the recognition of the King of Italy by France, and that consequently the government of his Majesty had decided to accomplish the act. In conveying this resolution to the knowledge of the Cebinet of Vienna, the Cabinet of the Tuileries cannot avoid remarking that Austria, to avoid a settlement of the Roman question with. out her co-operation, has only to recognise, as France does, the new kingdom of Italy. Then she will be able to nego tiate with the latter on the subject of the policy to be fol lowed by her in the affairs of the Papacy. It is evident that Italy will take in account the observations and counsel, of a power which shall have been one of the first to recog nise her. TBB IXTRAORMNARY FORGAWIES AT MAP oassra& The Manchester police court was much crowded yesterday before the prisoner was brought up for examina tion and there was • large attendance of gentlemen on the magistrates' bench. When the prisoner was brought into the dock, he appeared to be completely overcome by the wretchedness of his position, covering his face with his band, turning %way from the court, and sinking into • seat, where he was allowed to remain, and continued to met his head on one heed, apparently shrinking as much as pomible from observation. He did not utter • word, and both on entering and leaving the dock trembled so violently as to require assistance in walking. He seems to be be tween 40 and 50 years el age, and to have all the external aP C.F nos of • gentleman 61 high respectability. F. Robinson ' of the firm of Hisson and Robinson, soliciton, appeared on the pert of the mosecution ; and Mr. Bother, barrister, instructed by Mews. Bale, Worth- Mateo, Shipman, and Seddon, appeared on behalf of the around. Robinson, after some introductory remarks upon the extmordinan and painful nature of the cam, proceeded to state the facts ea follows :—On the 24th December, 18030, the primmer wrote and sent a letter to the office in London, which I will now read, as the foundation of the present accusation, for I shall confine myself today to one specific them against him. It is addressed to ILiglutm, Eaq., am fob sirs : " Maaaarmier, Des. 24, 1860. " Elir,—l repot to inform you that os Saturday , about midnight, the brigade were ennunooed to attend upon a fire, the property of Mrs. Moon, aimed bp . policy No. 629,799 ; the mouperme by policy No. 640,806. Mr. Robinson hen explained that both owner and mai- Owe were assured is Ws officer. The letter proceeded : " The premises were loft, supposed to be safe, on Saturday shames at four o'clock. The only Si, (which ' is a common grate) in the premises is confined to the imunting•liouss. Near this fine the fire him eartainly commenced. On of the Ana was the last on the premier. After further lime bistros no doubt the cause of the disaster will appear. The stook on the premises was only taken last week. It amounts to the value of upward; of 8,0001. Being not considered inflammable, and only susceptible of damage, a small insurance was thought sufficient. The engross were early at the wane, and poured forth sadly too much water. The damage to the buiMinc,l think, wall not exceed 501. ' • the stock, Mr. Hodgson thinks, will be about 4001. Men have been set to work to clean and take airs of the stock. I hope it may ultimately be found that the damage is sager than at present emisiderod.— I am, sir, your most obedient servant, EDWARD WiLLimenow." Perhaps the bench will be astonished to hear that the whole of this letter, circumstantial m yen have heard it to be, h from begbisieg to ead a pare piece of Action, exempting the mere fast that the owns= and women lamed really have an insurance in this firiroMea.

At this stage of the csee lam sorry to say that Mr. Hodgson is very unwell, and cannot now be here, hot he has an explanation to give of this, sod so far as we are concerned, there is no charge of fraud, or connivance, or knowledge on the part of that gentleman. He is really unable to attend, because this affair has seriously affected him. We come now to the cue of the lady owning the building, Mrs. Frances Moon. Here is a letter purporting to be written by • gentleman named Samuel Delves to Mr. Williamson : " Manchester, 27th Dec., 1860.—Royal Exchange Assur ers:. Company.—Mr. Williamson,—Air,—To repair the damage done by the late fire to the house and property of Mrs. Frances Moon, situate in Lever-street, carpenter's work, for the timber, glaring, plastering, painting and cleaning, as per statement sent in, the work to be done to the satisfaction of the aeaured, will cost 62f. 10s. —I am, sir, your obedient eetrant, 13.9tuut. Dxyza." Mr. Delves would prow!, he never wrote that let ter. But the office, relying upon the truth of all theme statemente and documents, the claims were ordered to be paid. On the 21st January, 1861, the pri. sonar drew a bill for 5261. 18e., payable three days after sight, to Messes. F. Moon and Co., or order. The bill was drawn on Mr. Hoor, the cashier . of the fire-office. The prwner Mesta Moon and og the f e en d o rsemen t forging t heir I name to a receipt for the sum of 526/. 18s. ; and further with forging the name of Mrs. Frances Moon to a receipt for 621. 10c, for damage to her property, purporting to be paid on the 23rd January, 1861. 1 shall prove moontestably that this lady died on the sth November, 1859. But on. happily the fraud does not stop here, for it really seems as if the prisoner had carried it on under the influence of a sort of mania. Mr. Riclgs?tescharge for valuation was 2/. 11.. 66., and the fi gure • 1, ,, has been inserted before the " on the account rendered, making the amount 12/. lls. Od., so as to defraud the office of an additional 10/. in this item. As to the certificate of valuation, Mr. Robinson explained that he believed the facts to have been that Mr. Hodpon was too unwell at the time to attend to business, and save Mr. Williamson his signature to a form of return in blank, which the prisoner afterward) , filled up minutely as above stated. Several witnesses were called who substantiated the above outline of the case. The iiiiherbeanng — ' Of the use was then adjourned to Thursday next. In reference to an application from Mr. Holker, as to bail, which, he said, would no doubt be forthcoming to any amount, the stipendiary magistrate (Mr. Ellison) inti mated that the learned gentleman might make hie applica tion when he was actually prepared with sureties, though the court could not promise to accede to it PASSPORT REGULATIONS IN BELGIUM. This morning a despatch from the Belgian Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, containing answers to questions from Lord John Russell respecting the recent alterations in the passport system in Belgium, was presented to parliament. The Belgian minister thus points out the ride henceforth to be followed by travellers who are natives of Great Britain : "As your excellency is already informed, the verification of the passport at the frontier has been suppressed gene rally since the mouth of February last. The obligation to have the passport via! by a Belgian diplomatic or consular agent has also been supprensed in favour of the subjects of several countries, of which England is one. I should add, that for a long time past this requirement had been dis pensed with in the case of persons belonging to that state. As regards the power of free circulation in the kingdom, a foreigner who wishes to be authorised for this is abso- lutely required to be able to prove, if need be, his identity and his nationality. As a general rule, therefore, the per son interested cannot dispense with being furnished with a passport ; but in consideration of the facilities which are generally granted in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the benefit of which Belgians are also permitted to enjoy, the government of the king consents that in the case of English travellers there may be substituted, if necessary, any other document which sufficiently establishes the personality or identity of the bearer. His Excellency the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in London desires to know whether a passport is demanded of an English subject who merely passes through Belgium, without passing a night there. The answer to this question is in the negative. Nevertheless, if during his journey the foreigner should find himself, owing to excep tional circumstances, in such a position that the authorities might have aerials reasons for knowing who he was, he would be required to prove his personality or his identity ; but these cases are exceedingly rare. As regards the second question put by his Excellency the Secretary of State, I may, after the explanation into which I have had the honour of entering above, confine myself to saying that when the stay made in the country is for a single night only, it very seldom happens that the passport (or the equivalent document) is actually demanded." THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS. This morning was issued the first report of the 'sleet committee appointed for the examination from year to year of the audited accounts of the public expenditure. The committee suggest for consideration whether the ad vantage of the independent check of the Audit-office over the receipts might not be secured either by • concurrent audit or by an examination from time to time of a portion of their account, by the Audit Board. The committee then proceed to call atten tion to a point to which they attach numb importance : To enable parliament to obtain a satisfactory account of the expenditure on any vote, it is essential :-1. That the rote should be taken " for services which will come in course of payment during the year." 2. That at the close of the financial year (via., March 31), the account should be closed, and no belance be carried on to meet payments in • subsequent year. 3. That the account should be audited by the Audit Board, and any balance de dared by the auditors aborikl be restored to the exchequer. 4. That the Audit Board should present to parliament an appropriation account, setting forth the amount of the vote, and of the expenditure ; and this in sufficient detail as to the items included under each vote. With regard to the revenue departments, the votes are for " the services which will come in course of payment within the year." The balance on the vote of one year is not earned on to be applied to the payments of another, and any balances remaining unissued from the exchequer at the close of the year are surrendered. It re mains that an appropriation account should be framed annually by the Audit Board, and laid by them be fore parliament ; mid that the sanction of law should be given to the whole arrangement, am has been done with respect to the army and navy accounts. The committee have the concurrence of the Board of Audit in this view, and the opinion of the different witnesses from the revenue departments, that such accounts could be prepared without difficulty. From Mr. Anderson they have learnt that the subject had been under the con sideration of the Treaanry, and a bill has been wry into effect the recommendations of the prepared to Ponies Committee, which bell includes the votes for the revenue services. As those recommendations are of an extensive character, and may require much consideration, both by the government and parliament, the committee would suggest that this improvement, es regards these revenue accounts, should be effected separately, and without delay. Is ardor to enable the Audit Board to present • satisfastory report of the appropriation of the ex plaudit's', cm buildings, especially as regards the post-ounce, the committee consider that it will be necessary that the estimate should be presented ilosater delaiL They suggest that the estimate specify the mint required for ordinary repairs, and the sweats sum for each building not of an ordinary cha racter. Other questions have arisen in the course of this inquiry respeedng the form in which the estimates should Its framed. On these the committee purposely abstain from rrikia:a t uf a itz s a r s they do not consider these questions of reference. The report is dated the llth Instant. COST OF TUN EDUCATION CONCKUNION. —A parlia• mastery return tinned this morning shows the total cost of the Eduestion Commission from its appointment on the Anh Jane, 1858, to the conclusion of the inquiry on the 3mh Jane, 1861. For salaries of the establisihment, the sum of 3,3831. 13s. 11d. was paid; for inquiry by the twelveassist.at commissioners, 7,4561. is.; for statistical returns, short hand writers' notes, stationer for oopying and books, isqual hitoeducatlooal endowment ,travelling and hotel exposited the commissionam, and offloe expenses, 1,850/. —in 12,8891. 18s. I.ld. This return is exclusive of the expecoa incurred in printing and stationery. The account has beta made up to the sth instant. There is a balance of rash of 145/. 4s. 3d. in the bands of the commissioners, which it is skated will be quite sufficient to cover every expen-e to the does of the oommission on the 30th instant.
