(From the Correspondent of the limes.) ANNECY, MARCH 25, EVENING. Here I am, another Jerome Paturot, started fairly in search of the " Savoyard movement." Full of faith, like my prototype, I am by no means discour aged by the little success which attended my re searches in the southern valleys of Savoy, and am now turning my course northward, undaunted by rain and hail and wind and snow, warmed by the hope of finding at last the object of my travels. It is the day of the elections, and the members of Par liament chosen will express the wishes and desires of Savoy, and seal the future fate of their country with their vote. What, a solemn moment! what a responsibility! and what a chance of seeing all this and observing it on the road! These are the ideas which press themselves on my mind while I look out at the windows of the railway carriage which takes me to Aix-les-Bains. These ideas make me almost as solemn as if I were myself a Savoyard patriot, and had one of the votes which are to fix the destiny of those mountains and of that reedy lake which I see to the left, and of those hills, with their vineyards and thatched•roof cottages, which pass quickly to my right. The train stops ; the guard calls out " S'bain ! s'bain ! ' and I take my bag and wrapper, resigned to carry them myself, at any rate, from the railway station to the town, as I cannot imagine that any free Savoyard citizen intent on making up his mind what he would like to be in future would find time to attend to an insignificant railway traveller and condescend to carry his bag. I was rather agreeably surprised, however, when I heard that well-known clatter of voices which persecutes you in these regions in summer time, and which I thought had gone with the storks and the swallows. " Par ici, monsieur; voulez-vous la diligence ; Voulez-vouz une voiture ; Voulez- vous aller i l'hotel?" and numerous other offers. I happened to be the only promising -looking individual who had ar rived by the train, and was assailed like the un fortunate traveller who gets into a bed in Italy which has not been occupied for a long time. Having authorised the most lively of the com petitors to attach himself to my heels, I saun tered towards the town, determined to use my eyes and ears as much as I could during the time a carriage for Annecy was getting ready. The disappointment I felt at the shockingly thoughtless manner in which so many free citizens could behave on so solemn a day gave way some what when, looking through the row of poplars to wards the town, I saw a large number of people walking about in the most solemn manner in the main street. There are careless and bad patriots everywhere, but they are only a minority in this good town of Aix. This I thought, but not long, for I was undeceived the next instant. May be they took me for their new sous-prefet, my Inver ness wrapper for my uniform, and my umbrella for the visible sign of my dignity; at any rate their solemnity was considerably disturbed by my ap pearance. I was decidedly more interesting in their eyes than French annexation or Sardinian separa tion ; they seemed to look eagerly in order to dis cover whether I had the intention and the means of spending certain pieces of cent-sous. I was a p send in this unprofitable winter time; every one seemed to have forgotten separation and annexa tion, only to find out whether I could separate some loose piece of silver from my pocket and annex it his. It was distressing. I asked about their sen timents, and they asked me whether I wished to dine. I asked about their candidate, and they asked me whether I wished to see the Roman re mains. Had my faith not been strong I would have returned immediately to Chambery ; as it was, I philosophised on the demoralising influence of foreign gold on the simple, unsophisticated minds of these happy valleys, wrapped myself up in m cloak, a n d ascended the cart which was waiting to carry me to more primitive regions. We jogged along the muddy road and toiled up the heights of La I3iolle, the only changes of inte rest being the alternation between rain, hail, and sunshine, and here and there a person passing o the road. W e h ad to halt on the top, and soon in the midst of badauds, whom the extraor dinary event of a traveller at this time of the ear attracted. M os t o f them looked so respectabley in their jackets and wide-awakes that I plucked up courage and asked them about their candidate, and whether he had been elected. "Ma foi ! we can not tell," said the spokesman ; " the w ea th er has been so bad th at we did not godown to know what the people in the town have done." I consoled my self again by thinking that here the people are again too primitive; and, the horses having got their breath aga i n, on we jolted on the high o road towards Alben s an d th e Capo del Mandament. Here there was quite a crowd in the street near the post and the tobacco shop, a solitary gendarme (a Piedmontese) being the most promi-nent figure. I stopped at the inn and ordered some wine for the coachman, and asked for the ne-,vs. " You must know that, sir, better than 1 7,re do ; they say the French are at Chambery," " Well, how do you like the change ?" I asked. A grin was the answer, accompanied by the words, " It is not us poor people that they will ask whether we are pleased or not." " Fouttez coeher," was the involuntary answer of a disappointed enthusiast, and soon we galloped down the steep road and across the steep bridge into the picturesque little village of Alby, where we changed horses, Indefatigable, like my prototype Jerotn, I again returned to the charge, and engaged in conversation with the idlers which the Sunday afternoon had collected before the Auberge du Pont Neuf. I might just as well have ask e d th e one-eyed, noseless cetin, who tried with all his might to attach the horses to the carriage ; he would have under stood my questions equally as well as his more pro mising compatriots. I was fairly discouraged, and had it not been for an opportune snowstorm, which diverted my atten tion from the great subject of the Savoyard move ment, I should have considered myself fairly beaten. As it was, the movement in the skies revived my energies, and giving up questioning poor, ignorant peasants, I resolved to take my chance at Annecy, the most active of Savoyard towns, which boasts of a real cotton mill actually at work, of glass and paper manufactures, and of coal mines in the neigh bourhood. It was still daylight when I saw some very respectable tall chimneys, which I greeted like old friends whom one has not sees for some time. Nor was my expectation disappointed. There were decidedly more traces of a movement than anywhere else, not excepting Chambery, and my object was to find some movement or other—whe ther French, Sardinian, Swiss, or any other, n o matter. As ev er y one was full' of the thing there was no difficulty in getting them to talk. The first thing I heard were complaints about the Piedmon tese Government, which, intent on an Italian po licy, had forgotten altogether iti most ancient here ditary possessions, only to remember them when it wanted men and money. Very little if any of this latter was spent for the country. The railway branch to Annecy, so long promised, was not even begun, and all the articles of manufacture had to be carried by expensive carriage to Aix, in order to be transported to Piedmont. The Government has thus alienated all feelings of attachment from this its stepchild. It was this which encouraged those who were working in the interest of France. " But then," I said, "you must be satisfied now that you will be annexed to France, and have the promise of your railway." "We are ruined, Sir," was the answer ; " our mar k e t s for glass are in Piedmont, where they cannot equal us; Nve h ave even branch establishments in that country. We can have no pretensions of competing with France, _ which will be now open to us, and we shall pro bably end by shutting up our establishments. " Besides this, we shall have to pay dearer than before for our colonial goods, which we have hitherto received from Geneva." Indeed, in the foresight of coming events, not only dealers but even private persons have made large purchases of these articles lately, to be able to go on at least for a time. " Then you have large dealings with Geneva ?" was my question, to which the' answer came : " Geneva exports from 7,000,000 f. to 8,000,000 f. worth of goods into Savoy, chiefly English, German, and Swiss goods." "Then you must desire to be united to Switzerland " " No, because it would equally shut us out of our market in Piedmont." " Then, what do you wish ?" "We have given up wishing for anything, as all is now decided, and the Government has given us up." " But did you not try at least to-day to get a candidate named who represents your views ?" "No ; our own has abandoned us, and is with the deputation in Paris. You see, all these lawyers and the native func tionaries are now on the other side, where they hope for well-paid places and decorations. One has been promised a sons-prefecture ; another the place of prefect ; again, another that of a substitute. It will rain crosses." This is evidently a poi:deur. I thought lie was connected with the cotton mill. Let us see the revers de la medallic. You can find it if you talk to any one connected with the coal mines or the exportation of wood. He will tell you, first, that he is not accustomed to hide his feel ings, and that he is in heart and soul, as well as in language, a Frenchman ; that he is not prepared to submit any longer to the Italian policy of Pied mont, and help to take the chestnuts out of the fire, which another is to eat, that the industry of the country is orippled, that it has no outlet but into Piedmont, where, in consequence of the expense, the raw produce, which is the chief wealth of Savoy, cannot be well taken across the Alps, while there is a good ready market close at hand into France. If o nce the railway is completed all this part will flourish again as by a stroke of magic. Here you have the two sides of the question put as you would hear them from the partisans of eacn party. There is movement yet ; but of what kind? Of the lowest. Not a word on either side about the difference in the institutions ; not a spark of any feeling the seat of Which would be higher than the stomach, the greedy centre of our animal system. The result of all this is that in the good town of Annecy, as at Chambery, the candidate of the French party has walked over the course. I cannot tell you the number of voters. A frondeuj' spoke about 23, but I can scarcely believe this, as the chief people of the party gave the same evening a great dinner, to which 80 people had been invited, who, if they went to the dinner, gave probably their vote before dinner. As at Chambery, the adverse party, or, more correctly, those who do not belong to the French party, abstained from v oting. Some curious incidents were connected with this dinner. A portrait of the Emperor was placed in the dining loom, and some French flags were pre pared for decorations. The Governor on hearing this interfered ; he let the portrait hang where it was, but he cautioned the movers in this matter that they were still under the Sardinian Government, and that they had better keep within bounds. Another circumstance I must likewise mention, although I do so almost with hesitation, as it may be awkward for the parties concerned. Eight or nine French commercial travellers who happened to be in the town received an invitation to attend the dinner, and they all refused with the remark, " You g oo d people, you don't know what you wish for; we have tried it, and can tell you that it will not be long before you will repent it." The mail coach passes at 9 p.m. to Geneva, and I have said enough of Annecy. My next letter will tell what the good Republic thinks about and does about Faucigny and Chablais. SPORTING INTELLIG.ENCE.

The de mand for all kinds was steady, at fully Monday's currency, at which, however, very few sellers came forward; hence the business done was trifling. Fine foreign wheats were held at fully is per quarter above Monday's quotations, and the value of all other kinds was freely supported. Floating cargoes were in improved request, at extreme rates. We had an active sale for barley, and prices were well su ported. There w as a great scarcity of fine samples. The malt trade showed signs of improvement, at late rates. The few first oats sold readily, at very full prices. Both beans and poas were quite as dear as on Monday, and flour was held for more money. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—As the time for this event approaches the interest it excites increases, and the training trials of each crew are watched with an eager eye. Both parties were out yesterday at Putney. The Oxford men started from Barker's Rails and rowed to the Duke's Head, Putney they are admirably correct in time, and certainly row in better form than their opponents. The latter started from the Ship, and after rowing some dis tance down made a number of rapid spurts. The Oxford crow were rowing at coming in yesterday 42 strokes per minute —the Cambridge average 39, but they are certainly longer than their opponents. So great has been the demand for steamers to accompany this race that Messrs. Searle and others, who have provided for the convenience of the public, have been unable to procure boats, which seem to have been let to private parties. As persons must be 'on board very early it behoves the steamboat companies to see that the various piers between London-bridge and Chelsea are open by seven in the morning, and piermen in attendance to pre vent confusion or accident. Oxford are taken for choice in many instances, but betting on the whole may be considered even. The public may distinguish the crews by the colour of their oar blades, Oxford being dark blue, Cambridge light blue. THE LADDER OF FAME.—At the top sits Fame kicking her heels, carrying her trumpet mincingly, making sometimes a feint to put it to her lips and sound it, more frequently looking down superciliously with eyes half closed, and pretending to be unaware of the panting wretch toiling up the weary rungs beneath. Some swarm up this ladder as boys up a pole, hand over hand, a good grip with the knees, a confident, saucy, upward look. Others stop in medio, look round, sigh, or are satisfied, and gravely descend to refresh themselves with bread and cheese for life. Some stagger up, wildly, and tumbling off, are borne, mutilated, to the hospital accident -ward to die. Others there are who in deed obtain the ladder's summit, but who are doomed to crawl perpetually up and down the degrees. These are the unfor tunates who carry hods to those master bricklayers who have bounded up the ladder with airy strides, or better still, have been born at the top of the ladder. Poor hodmen I they make dictionaries, draw acts of parliament, cram the boy-senator for his maiden speech, form Phidias' rough clay-sketch into a shapely, polished marble bust, shade with Indian ink Archimedes' rough draught for the now pump or the tubular bridge, and fill in Sir Joshua's back-grounds. Some there are who go to sleep at the ladder's foot, and some, the few, the felicitous, who reach the summit, breath less but triumphant, boldly bidding Fame blow her loudest blast.—Cornhill Magazine for April.

DWELLINGS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the bill, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE complained of the rarrow spirit in which this measure had been regarded by some parties. He thought the best way of improving the condition of th e labouring. class es o f I re l and was to improver . their dwellin The Far mers ' Club of WestmeathP had petitioned in favour of this bill, which enabled proprietors': to borrow loans to improve the dwellings of their tenants. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said the petition that had bean referred to as coining from the Farmers' Club of Westmeath was merely the opinion of a single individual. He did not oppose the bill going into committee but he had very gre a t d ou b t whether the bill would carry out the idea of its promoters. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had been nally in fa vour o f t h e object of this measure, but after having had an interview with Sir R. Griffith,, and making an examination of certain documents in the possession of the Goverment, he thought the subject could best be dealt with by the Treasury. Lord REDESDALE said the object of the bill was to grant permission to landlords to raise money for a new class of improvements on their estates. He thought Par liament was just as able to deal with the question as the Treasury. After a few words from the Earl of WroxLow and Vis count DUNGANNON, The house went into committee. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the bill was reported without amendments. On the motion that the report be received, Lord REDESDALE moved the insertion of a clause for the purpose of providing a means of controlling the expenditure of the loans obtained under the bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE objected to the addi tional clause. After a short conversation the house divided, when the numbers were— Content 24 Not content 26 Majority —2 The clauses were then agreed to, and the bill as amended passed through committee. MARRIAGES (EXTRA-PAROCHIAL PLACES) BILL. On the motion of Lord WENSLEYDALE, this bill was read a second time. EXEMPTION OF YEOMANRY CAVALRY FROM HORSE DUTY. The Earl of CARNARVON asked whether it was the intention of the Government to exemptthe yeomanry cavalry from the payment of this duty during the present year Earl DE GREY and RIPON said he was happy to tell his noble friend that the Government had decided upon ex empting the yeomanry cavalry from the payment of horse duty. (Hear.) He might also tell his noble friend that the act of Parliament which exempted them applied also to those of that force who had joined the volunteer corps. It only remained for him to add that the duty so taken off would apply also to the mounted volunteer rifle corps. INDIAN FINANCE. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to ask the noble duke opposite whether he was officially in possession of a speech of Mr. Wilson, in which he gave an exposition of the financial position of India, and if the Government were in possession of that document it was desirable it should be laid on the table. That speech was no doubt one of sin gular ability, and undoubtedly explained in a true manner the former and the present state of the finances of India. 'The appendices, however, attached to it were not so coin plete as they could wish, inasmuch as while giving the ex penditure of the country they totally omitted the receipts. They gave an account of the deficit and surplus, but not the revenue, and that in his opinion should be supplied. There ought also to be given an acce,nnt of the balances in the hands of the Government in the various treasuries of India. He was inclined to think that over a considerable number of balances the Government had no control whatever ; indeed he knew one, amounting to half a million, paid in under the head of prize -money. He proposed to move for a return showing the manner in which this money had been appro priated. The amount of revenue and expenditure, as given by Mr. Wilson —and after deduCting all charges —was £30,000,000. Knowing that was the case, and comparing that with the condition in which the revenue stood in 1857, s'hen the receipts and expenditure were equal, there was ground for sanguine hopes—especially when the interest of the public debt at home amounted to one-third of the whole, while in India it was one-sixth. Therefore it would seem ' that India was one of the lightest taxed countries in the world, and the least indebted. ?Zr. Wilson proposed to equalise the income and expenditure, and his (Lord Ellen. borough's) impression had always been that the only true foundation for the administration of the finances of India was to be found in the thorough reconciliation between the Government and the people. He did not, however, think that any progress had been made towards that result; for, instead of adopting any novelties of finance, Mr. Wilson proposed the most antiquated notions on the subject. He proposed a gradual taxation in the shape of income tax, to which every artisan in the country was to be subject, and that was a measure which woulernot be satisfactory. Then, again, to render their unpopularity still greater, they put a duty on tobacco. It was stated that he intended to levy the income tax on all classes in India. But he felt confident that was an oversight, and that he had no intention of ap plying that tax to the non-commissioned officers and pri vates of the army. He admitted that a tax of this kind would be extremely advantageous, provided there was any hope of making the people believe that it was thorcughly honest—and if there existed in that country the means of making the assessment of the tax and the collection of it really just. The zemindars in the settled provinces would believe that they ought not to be subject to it, and however much equity and common sense might be on our side, they would not think that we were acting justly towards them, and would endeavour to throw the tax on the under tenants in order to save them selves. He was afraid the tax would fail, from the impos sibility of finding the requisite machinery in India to carry it out, and that the result would be a constant conflict be tween extortion on the one side and fraud on the other, whilst there was no trustworthy tribunal to decide between them. But he considered the expressions used by Mr. Wilson with regard to the army were still more dangerous than the taxes he imposed. The noble lord here read an extract from Mr. Wilson's speech, in which he spoke of the native army of India as being, if no t a standing menace, at least a standing source of apprehension to all their states men—a kind of Frankenstein, of which they spoke with bated breath, but which had now committed suicide. The local and the European army, he added, were also gone. Now, at the very time Mr. Wilson used this language, the real state of the Indian army was this. It was true that 10,000 had taken their discharge, without, he believed, much previous reflection or consideration. An incautious expres sion which fell from the noble lord at the head of the Go vernment, to get rid, he believed, of an inconvenient sug gestion, was taken advantage of by those soldiers to demand their discharge ; and unfortunately the Government did not take any reasonable steps till it was too late to remove the delusion under which they laboured. They were told at first that their claims were inadmissible, till at last, alarmed, he supposed, by the position in which they found the army, they yielded those claims. But at the time when Mr. Wilson said that the army was gone there were 1 2,000 European troops in India, 6,000 of whom were artillery; and every person who was acquainted with India knew that no artillery in the world was superior to the artillery of the Indian army. (Hear, hear.) In addition to these 12,000 men, 3,500 others were about to arrive, or had as tually arrived in India; so that of this army, which was de scribed as non-existent, there were over 15,000 in India, one-half of whom were artillery. Now, as it was upon the loyalty and bravery of these mon that their rule in India depended, the high authorities in India ought to be a little better instructed with regard to them. The re remarks of Mr. Wilson applied to the whole army. There was no exception made. The armies of the Madras and Bombay presidencies, which were "faithful amongst the faithless found," and who fought by their side in all the great battles of India, were included in the general censure. The sepoy army of which Mr. Wilson spoke in such dispa ragement were little short of 200,000 men at the very time he said they were gone. His sweeping censure reflected upon those 200,000 men who fought by their side, and contri buted to that very tranquillity which, as Mr. Wilson ad. mitted, afforded the Government the means of imposing fresh burdens on the people. The distribution of the officers of the disbanded regiments showed The real utility of the native local army which Mr. Wilson seemed altogether to despise. Of these officers, 276 were employed in situations which had regard to the civil government of the country; 115 in political and civil situations; 64 in the police force, 58 in the commissariat and staff, and 38 in public works. There were altogether 372 of these officers employed in offi ces of a civil character in Bengal, and in Madras and Bom bay the number so employed was probably of an equal amount ; so that there were about 800 of these officers em ployed in the performance of civil duties. Ho believed that no persons could be found to whom civil duties in India could be so advantageously entrusted as the officers of the native army. They felt that their lot was cast with the people, and that it was only by good conduct and good ma nagement that they could hope to recommend themselves to the favour of the Government, whereas the officers of her Majesty considered themselves as strangers in the land, and • always looked back to this country. If they dispensed with the local army he believed it would be difficult to find officers to supply the places of these men. There was another consideration which weighed very much on his mind in reflecting upon this subject. In India there were no persons who looked with jealousy on the army. There was no resource for the Indian army except in the army itself ; and on its organisation, and discipline, and obedience, they must depend.
