The Proprietors beg most respectfully to call the attention of the trade, noblemen, clergy, Arc., and the public in general, to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages. Bortuows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the lind is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. Sd. or a dozen for 245. it is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the d;gestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic 'Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly.

The Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, having been completed at Chatham, will proceed to Sheerness to-day to join the first division of the steam reserve. The Severn, 51, which has been lengthened and converted into a screw steamer at Chatham, will be undocked to-morrow, when she will be towed down to Sheerness to be fitted with her machinery. The screw steam frigate Mersey, 40, Captain Henry Caldwell, C. 8., arrived at Portland on Fri day morning from Portsmouth. The Flying Fish, 6, screw despatch vessel, Com.. mender Charles W. Hope, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Portland. A line-of-battle ship passed the east end of the Isle of Wight at noon yesterday, under steam, steering down Channel.

The screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51, Captain Tarleton, C. 8., with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, from the Mediterranean, is daily expected at Plymouth. The heads of departments have re ceived instructions regarding the reception to be given to thej Prince, who is expected to remain some days. The screw steamship Nile, 91, Captain E. K. Barnard, fitting at Plymouth* for the flag of Sir A. Milne, K.C.8., has been very fortunate in obtaining her complement within one month from the date of her commission. Her crew are all men-of-war's men from ships recently paid off. The crew of the ship Aboukir, 90, Captain D. Curry, at Devonport, were paid wa g es on Friday, in presence of Admiral Superintendent Sir Thos. Pasley ; they will be granted leave of absence. Her sails are unbent and her rigging is rattling down. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. Rogers, was removed on Friday from her moorings in Hamoaze to those off Devonport dockyard.

She is ordered to be sent round to Chatham, where she will be docked, and altered to a screw steamer. The Virago has supernumeraries for Sheerness. The screw store transport Lord Panmure, in th• service of the War Department, H. T. Moore, mas ter, left Woolwich on Saturday, laden with 12 Armstrong guns and other military stores, calling at Purfleet to embark 700 barrels of powder. The Balaklava, employed in the same service, is likewise shipping Armstrong guns and war stores at Wool wich Arsenal. The naval transport Diligence left Plymouth on Saturday for Pembroke, with stores and anchors for the Howe, 121. Workmen were employed all yesterday in the old shipping basin in Portsmouth Dockyard, pre• paring for the admission of the water and the un docking of the vessels in Nos. 2,3, 4, and 5 docks— the Stromboli, 6, paddle; the Nelson, 91, screw ; the Medea, 6, paddle ; and the Bulldog, 6, paddl e .

[AnvEnmaTtENT.]-11olloway's Pills and Ointment. — The human body is made up of nerves, vessels, muscles, and bone, all of which are formed from the blood, aided by the glands. These Addison compares to a bundle of pipes and strainers ; to cleanse and clear these of all obstructions and all impurities is the art of medicine. Holloway's medica ments happily effect this object ; not one of the infinitude pipes and strainers escape their purifying power. They thoroughly remove all noxious matters, and expel all causes of disease. They act most beneficially on every organ. The Pills internally, and the Ointment rubbcd over the glands re store vigour to the body, and cheerfulness to the mind. 11&- loway's remedies are specifics for indigestion, nervousness, and depression. THE ARMY. The subjoined circular memorandum, addressed to officers commanding Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, regiments, and depots of cavalry and infantry serving at home, has been issued : " Horse Guards, S.W., Jan. 24. " The appointment of an Instructor in Military History at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, having been authorised by the Secretary of:State for War, his Royal Highness the General Com manding-in-Chief desires that commanding officers will send to this department, not later than the 10th proximo, the application of such officers as feel themselves qualified for the situati )n. Each application should be accompanied by a statement of the course of the candidate's reading in military history, and a detailed description of any one im portant campaign, with a full explanation of the military topography of the country and its bearing on the operations. " In forwarding an application, the commanding officer should state his opinion of the character of the candidate, both personally and as an officer. " The salary attached to this Instructorship is £35 per annum (inclusive of military pay), with quarters ; or, in case quarters should not be pro vided, an allowancei n lieu thereof such as is ac corded to a field officer. " The appointment will be probationary for the first year. " The successful candidate will be expected to join the college without delay, and to express his intention of continuing to fulfil the duties of his appointment for a period of at last three years.— By command, " G. A. WETIIERALL, Adjutant-General." Nearly 500 recruits have arrived during the last few weeks at the Indian depots stationed in the camp at Colchester. '1 he paddle steamer Preussischer Adler and the screw steamer Dodo have been taken up to convey the Royal Limerick County Militia from Ports mouth to Queenstown prior to their disembodiment. The Preussischer Adler is reported to be ready to embark the first portion of the regiment, consist ing 20 officers and 550 men, with their proportion of women and children, on the 10th inst.; the Dodo to embark the remainder of the regiment on the 17th inst. The present rifle-range in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, for the practice of the troops in that garrison, having only a range of 900 yards, it has been deemed advisable to extend the length of range to about 1,250 yards, and for this pur pose negotiations have for some time been carried on between the military authorities and the proprietor for the purchase of a piece of waste ground at the western extremity of, and adjoining, the present range. This has at length been brought to a close by the authorities refusing to purchase on the terms offered. On account of the vast number of recruits who have been accepted in the Regiment cf Royal Ar tillery, the strength of the depot at Woolwich has far outgrown the present barrack accommodation. It has been found necessary, in consequence, to make a division of the brigade, to be stationed in separate quarters. Major Ilolton's and Major Lukin's Nos. 1 and 2 batteries, amounting to be tween 500 and 600 men each, are expected to leave head quarters, liroolwich, during the week, for the encampment at Shorncliffe. About 125 of the soldiers discharged from the East India Company's service who arrived at Ply mouth in the Maha Ranee from Calcutta have been disembarked in the Sound. Thirty were trans- ferred on Saturday afternoon to a passenger steamer bound for Cork, and the remainder were landed at the Barbican for the purpose of proceeding to-day (Monday) in another passenger steamer to Dublin. Those men entitled to prize-money will not be paid until they arrive at their homes. Those soldiers ou board the Maha Ranee will probably proceed in' her up Channel. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A D_EAD BUR Y. CARLISLE, Saturday Evening.—An inquest was opened to-day by Mr. Carrick, at the police-office here, upon the body of a person unknown, which was discovered on Thursday, at the Bush Hotel, under the following mysterious circumstances : About 12 months since a long deal box was left at the Bush Hotel, in this city, by one of the por ters of the Caledonian Railway Company. On the top or lid of the box was the following address, written in an illiterate hand—" This side up. Mrs. London, Bush hottel, Carlisle." Th e b ox rema i ne d in the hotel for some time, but no one came to claim it, and it was at length removed to the " market room" of the house to be out of the way, and up to last Thursday had stood in that room unasked for and untouched. A few days since Mr. Cowx, the father of the landlord of the hotel, happened to be at a sale in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, and the locality reminding him that an old lady bearing the name of the address on the box resided a short way off, he sent a lad to inform her that there was a box with her name on it, which had been at the Bush for many months without having been claimed and suggesting that it might possibly be intended for her. Upon hearing this, Mrs. London sent her niece, Mrs. Margaret Dixon, to the hotel, who, on being shown and examining the address on the box, came to the conclusion that it was not for her aunt; but at the same time suggested that it might be opened to see if the contents could give any clue to the owner. Mr. Cowx assented to this, and the box was opened, What was the astonishment of those who looked into it to find a coffin containing the body of a child ! Mr. Bent, the superintendent of the city police, was immediately •sent for. He came, and on inquiry ascertained from Mary Bishop, waiting-maid at the hotel, that the box had been delivered at the hotel on the 21st of March, last year, by a railway porter, for the carriage of which she paid 25., and signed the book produced by the porter to certify its safe delivery. It was kept at hand in the expectation of the owner calling for it, but, as has already been stated, no claimant appear ing, it was subsequently removed to the market room. On inquiry at the booking-office of the gods department at the Citadel Station, Mr. Bent ascertained that the box had been booked at Paisley for Carlisle on the liith of March, three daysbefore its delivery. This was all that; could be learnt at the moment. Mr. Bent, however, caused the box to be removed to the police office, where a closer examination was made of the contents, in the hope of finding some clue to the sender. The search was made in the presence of Dr. Elliot, Mr. Temperley, Mr. Bowman, and Mr. T. N anson ( b oroug h magis trate). 'Within the deal b ox, which was a b out 4 f t. in length, a coffin was pack e d i n wood shavings ; it was painted black, rathe r h an d somely em b e lli s h e d with white metal furnishings, and had white cotton cord tassels attached to the handles (six in all) at the sides and ends. There was a metal shield upon the lid, but without an inscription ; below the shield was a vase of flowers; above it the figure of an angel—all in white metal. The coffin measured 43in. in length, 131 in. in breadth, and 10in. deep. Within was found the corpse of a child, shrouded in white calico —at least it had once been white, but was now much discoloured by the decomposition of the body, which was very far advanced. The limbs and body were partially clothed in a pair of white stockings, a shirt, and night-cap. The body had been packed in sawdust, and measured on removal from the coffin 35in. in length ; the legs, however, were rather drawn up, and the head turned to one side, for which probably 2in. more might be allowed. Whether originally laid in the coffin in that posi tion of course it would be impossiole to say. The trunk measured 16in. in length. The face was so much disfigured (whether by violence or decay it could not be ascertained), that it was not recognis able. The hair was light or flaxen, quite abundant, and about three inches in length. The medical ;gentlemen called in made a pest ',torten examination. On close inspection, the remains of both a night-gown and a shift were found adhering to the body, which had the ap pearance of a mummy, and was so decayed that the medical men could come to no conclusion as to the sex of the child. The presumption, how ever, was that it is the body of a female, four or five years of age. Ten teeth were observed in the upper jaw, six in the lower, the three front teeth being gone ; the back teeth had begun to appear. The general appearance led to the conclusion that the remains were those of a well-formed and once stout active child. It has been hinted, from the position of the body, that it may hate been put into the box whilst still alive; but this is mere surmise. The above facts having been deposed to, the in quiry —which has caused tho deepest sensation here —was adjourned. The articles contributed by Lord Macaulay to the 4 , Encyclopedia Britannica" are to be republished in a separate form with, it is said, a preface by Mr. Adam Black, explaining the circumstances under which they were con tributed—circumstances honourable alike to the publisher and the author, but of which a versa* not altogether cor rect has been circulated. PRINCE AAD A'AVOi: Never in the whole course of ancient and modern history has a spectacle mese extraordinary p-e, sented itself than that which is now offered by the province of Savoy. Since the period of our Norman Conquest the mountaineers of this Alpine region have been under the rule of the Royal House which is now represented by King Victor Emmanuel. To those monarchs the Savoyards have always clung with a desperate fidelity, which neither persecution, tyranny, nor adversity has been able to shake. The connexion 'of the House or Hapsburg with it here ditary dominions in Austria Proper is modern com pared with the relations which bind Savoy with its Ducal House, and England alone, among the coun tries of Europe, can show a Royal line equally ancient and equally illustrious. The Government of Savoy and Piedmont is at profound peace with the Government of France, the families are linked together by matrimonial alliance, and their armies have fought side by side in the most glorious fields of modern military history. The Savoyards have little to complain of; they have given a Royal House to Piedmont ; they possess a gallant and patriotic nobility, and a constitution which gives to every man freedom of speech, of writing and of ac tion. Suddenly there arises in the midst of this apparently contented and happy country a move ment for annexation to France; meetings are held, demonstrations are made, articles are written, the whole machinery of popular agitation is set to work, not by the Government, for that appears to disapprove the agitation, but either by some caprice of the popular mind or by some influence from without. Dark rumours are afloat of treaties by which this first inheritance of the House of Savoy is to be handed over to France in consi deration for Lombardy and Venetia, and insinua tions on the one part that Piedmont is wanting in good faith in not surrendering the equivalent for what she received, and en the other that France has not fully performed the condition which required Venetia as well as Lombardy in exchange for Savoy and Nice. These rumours are on both sides offi cially contradicted, and, of course, so much the more pertinaciously believed. Meanwhile a circumstance that any one might have reasonably expected occurs. The town of Chambery gets up a very influential demonstration, but, strange to say, the object of this demonstration was not to advocate union with Imperial France, but adherence to that noble House with whose for tunes the destiny of Savoy has been connected for the last eight hundred years. Nothing can exceed the virtuous indignation of the French press at this occurrence. One would suppose that the good people of Chambery had been dealing with the affairs of •others, instead of with a matter which one would be apt to think was most peculiarly their own. The Paris stigmatises this meeting in terms which a Protestant might have em ployed who had discovered, a week before its perpetration, the plans for the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. " The demonstration was no iso lated event, but the result of a deliberate plan to impose on the public as to the sentiments of Savoy and Nice." " Emissaries are scattered over the whole country to organise similar scenes in every part of it." The accounts furnished to the Patric are so accurate and so precise that they leave. no doubt on the subject. Nay, the authori ties appear to sanction the movement, and, in fact, there are actually people in Savoy and Nice who prefer to be the free citizens of a small, rather than the over-governed subjects of a large State. " It is time that the authorities of Turin should learn that they cannot have two weights and two balances, that the people of Savoy and Nice have the same right to dispose of themselves as the people of the Duchies. The sympathies of Savoy for France are a century old, and the Government which seeks to repress them ought to desist from any such effort, and to leave them to dispose of themselves." :We have quoted this article which will be found at length elsewhere, because we have read nothing like it since the time when the first Napoleon denounced the Spaniards as brigands for attempting t o res i s t an invasion which he had not troubled himself to clothe with the faintest semblance of legality: We maintain, in opposition to the Petrie, that the people of Cham• berg, of Annecy, of Oneglia, and St. Remo have just as good a right to meet and declare their wish to remain united to Piedmont as to be allotted to France. When the union has taken place wegrant they will have forfeited the right of meeting and speaking freely, but till that event they ought not to be put down, even though they say and do things not strictly in accordance with modern French policy. England must naturally disapprove the annexa tion of Savoy to France, whether it is believed that France contracted with Piedmont to despoil Austria in order to provide her with an equivalent to Savoy, or whether we think that the movement is a spon taneous effort of the people. But, though she may disapprove, England has no interest sufficiently strong to justify her in doing more than express her disapprobation. She can afford to look on ; but we doubt if the Emperor of the French can so well afford to see it done. He has a vast deal at stake. He has men and money, ships and artillery, all that makes a formidable power by land and sea, but he has not attained, and at this rate never will attain, the sincere and heartfelt confidence of Europe. He had told us that the empire was peace, but he inter rupted that peace by a sanguinary war. The con fidence of his subjects was shaken, and he seeks to restore it by the adoption of the most enlightened principles of commerce. But, in the midst of these peaceful discussions, we are startled by the harsh tone of menace and rebuke adopted towards the people and Government of a neighbouring State, be cause they show some unwillingness to sever their an cient allegiance in order to bestow on him two new provinces. We were told that the Emperor " makes war for an idea," but we are now suddenly informed that France gives nothing for nothing, and that in exchange for the spoils of Austria she has stipulated for the hereditary dominions of the House of Savoy. She may take them, for there is no Continental Power at this moment able to op pose her, and England is too remotely interested to do more than express regret. But history has taught in vain if dear-bought experience has not impressed on France the wisdom of remaining con tent within her present ample boundaries. In these days of credit she cannot hope to play both parts, —that of an ambitious conqueror and of a success ful trader. Commercial prosperity is a jealous deity, and allows no divided worship. The Empe ror may, if he will, abandon with the same facility with which he has obtained it the reputation for noble motives and disinterested heroism, but he must still wish to retain confidence sufficient for his commercial adventure, and a first element of that confidence is the convietion that his desire is rather to improve than to extend his present magnificent empire.—Times. A THELLUSON WILL BEFORE 2'HIL- LUSOY. The Dutch papers are now discussing an extra ordinary will, made at Amsterdam 150 years ago by an exceedingly wealthy Mynheer, an Israelite, named Jacob Pereya. Out of the im mense wealth left by him he only allowed 20,000 guilders annually to his widow and children. The remainder, consisting of Dutch East India Bonds and other securities, then considered as safe as valuable, he left in trust to the wardens of his synagogue, who, after 150 years, were to convene, by advertisements in the papers, all his descendants; and after rendering them an account of their steward ship before the judges, were to devote 100,000 guil ders to the endowment of a certain charity, and then to divide the remainder in equal proportions between the heirs. The 150 years will expire in February, 1861. Meanwhile, the descendants of Pereyra ale summoned to appear before the Lords Judges in the chamber of justice at Amsterdam, on the 7th of June next, at 11 o'clock in the morning precisely, there to receive a full and faithful render ing of the trust. The formalities of the law are of course complied with ; but it is well known, as in the Thelluson case, a sad disappointment awaits the sanguine heirs. The accumulation of the immense wealth of Pereyra will hardly be sufficient to meet the first charge of the endowment. The greater portion of the securities, which for more than fifty years after his death paid 40 per cent., hayed windled down into almost worthless paper. The bankruptcy of the East India Company in 1775, the revolution and French invasion in 1795, the loss of colonies and trade, the war taxes, and the disastrous annexa tions to France, have done their work. The settle ment of the national debt at the Restoration in 1813 completed the ruin wrought by the previous calamities. The wealth of Pereyra, instead of at taining in 150 years the colossal dimensions ex pected by the testator, have shrunk into a mere nothing ; thus pointing once more the moral so im pressively taught by the Thelluson will.—Jewish Chronicle.

CO UNI VO UA' CIRC UL The Persereranzd of Milan publishes the text of Count Cavour's circular addressed to the Sardinian diplomatic agents at Foreign Courts. It bears the date of 27th Jan., and is as follows : " Sir,—l consider it expedient briefly to explain to you the new condition in which Italy finds itself placed at the present moment. when the confidence of the King has called me to the direction of foreign affairs. " The great Powers of Europe, acknowledging the necessity of putting an end to the uncertain and provisional state of Central Italy, had consented, two months ago, to the meeting of a Congress for the purpose of deliberating on the best means of founding the pacification and prosperity of Italy on solid and durable bases. " The Congress, which the King's Government had not ceased to invoke as the only means calcu lated to arrest the dangers of the moment, had been accepted with confidence by the populations of Cen tral Italy. They hoped that the wish they had ma nifested in so formal a manner of being annexed to the States of the King would be taken into serious consideration and approved of by the plenipotenti aries of the principal States of Europe. In this con viction the people of Central Italy and their Go vernments awaited, in calmness and order, the judgment of the Congress, merely limiting them selves to increasing and disciplining their forces in order to be ready to meet events. " At present, in consequence of difficulties which I have not to examine here, the Congress has 'been adjourned to an indefinite period, and there is daily more reason to believe that it will never meet. "The Congress failing, all the difficulties which were to be solved by that means reappear with a degree of weight and urgency much greater than before. An ardent but legitimate impatience, an irrevocable determination to continue in the chosen path, have, in Central Italy, succeeded to the dim ness and hope of expectation. Such sentiments, al ready sufficiently justified by the singUlar position in which Central Italy has so long stood, have be come still more deep and general in consequence of the events which have latterly occurred. " In fact, the prorogation of the Congress was preceded by the publication of the pamphlet entitled 'Le Pape et le Congres.' I will not stop to exa mine the origin and bearing of that publication. I confine- myself to stating that public opinion in Europe regards it as having the character and im portance of a great event. The publication of this letter was soon followedby a letter from the Empe ror of the French to the Pope. At the same time Europe learned* that the Anglo-French alliance, which was shaken after the peace of Villafranca, had become more solid and intimate ; and this fact, proved by the happy issue et important commercial negotiations, is still further established in a more solemn manner by the Speech from the Throne on the opening of Parliament, and by Lord Palmer ston having in reply to Mr. Disraeli declared that the most perfect understanding prevails between England and France with regard to the Italian question. " The postponement of the Congress, the publi cation of the pamphlet, the letter to the Pope, and the reconciliation between France and England are four incidents (the least of which would have Leen sufficient to precipitate a solution) which have rendered longer delay impossible in the settlement of pending questions. Amply commented on by the press of Europe, they have succeeded in con vincing every serious mind :—l. That the idea of a restoration must be renounced, as the realisation of it is no more possible at Bo!ogna and Parma than at Florence and Modena. 2. That the sole solution possibly consists in the legal admission of the an nexation already established in fact in !Emilia as well as in Tuscany; and 3. That the Italian popu lations, after having long waited in vain for Europe to put their affairs in order on the basis of the principles of non-intervention and of respect for the popular wishes, have the duty of proceeding to establish their Governments themselves. " Such is the signification given in Italy to the facts I have just stated—and such is also, which constitutes another circumstance of equal gravity— the interpretation given to them by the most im portant organs of the French press. The most in fluential journals of France, England, and Germany give expression to the same ideas, advise the same measures, and express the same convictions. In such a state of things the populations of Central Italy have determined to arrive at a solution, and to seize on the favourable moment for carrying the annexation into complete and definite execution. It is with this view that the Governments of the said provinces have adopted the electoral law of Sardinia, and are preparing to proceed to the elec. tionof deputies. " The king's Government has hitherto employed all its moral influences to induce the Governments and populations of Central Italy to wait for the judgment of Europe. At present, owing to the un certainty attending the meeting of the Congress, and in consequence of the facts af►ove-mentioned, his Majesty's Government has no longer the power of arresting the natural and inevitable course of events. " Thb7despatch has no other object than to show the actual state of things in Italy. I will duly in form you of the resolutions which may be taken in consequence. Let it suffice for tho present to inform you that the Government of the King feels all the responsibility imposed on it in these critical mo ments, and that its decisions will be inspired solely by a sense uf duty, the interests of Italy, and a sincere desire to secure the peace of Europe.— Accept, Jim " CAVOUR." I2VDT4N FINANCE. The circumstances of the financial operation very indistinctly described by Sir Charles Wood in the House of Commons on Friday appear to be as fol lows :—The Council of India, as is well known, have held in reserve a sum of £2,000,000 of Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, dated 1859, which were not placed upon the occasion of the last negotiation of those securities. The act which authorised the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 gave the In dian Secretary power to issue more stock aga inst any debentures which may fall due. By issuing for a brief period the Reserved amount of Four per Cent. Debentures above specified to the Bank of England (perhaps in lieu of Indian Bonds held by that establishment as security for former ad vances made to the Council of India) the deben tures are made due, and are then converted into the Indian Five per Cent. k tock of 1859. At that very time the Canadian Government, which has just raised a loan of £2,800,000, is in want of a Government security wherein to invest, for the satisfaction of the Imperial Go vernment, the sum required for the sinking fund on the Old Canada Loan guaranteed by the Imperial Government. 'rho Canadian Govern ment accordingly takes. £1,300,000 of the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 created by these means, and Sir Charles Wood descants upon the advantageous character of the whole operation. Very possibly he is right in d o i ng so , b u t th e public would like to know the terms upon which these somewhat peculiar transactions have been arranged.. The Council of India d o no t a pp ear t o have been in any immediate want of money, and this circumstance renders it less easy to understand the selection of the present juncture for issuing the Four per Cent. Debentures. On the other hand, it is satisfactory to know that the reserved balance of the debenture s i s pl ace d. Th ere i s ano th e r point of interest to the holders of the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859: the act of Parliament authorising the Canadian Loan with the Imperial guarantee stipulated that the sinking fund should be invested in Government securities, and with the special consent of the Imperial Government. Does the British Government, tlerefore, recognise the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 as a Govern ment security ?—Daily News. We announced a week or two since that the in tention of Government was to add about 22,000 men to the reeler army, disbanding the militia at the same time, and bringing home several regiments from India. We have reason to believe that the spirit of economy has, since then, stepped in, and that the proposed augmentation will be con siderably less than that originally proposed, and all but officially settled at the time of our announcement. The army estimates are understood to have been revised with a view to reduction, and they will be laid before the House of Commons in their new shape in the course of nest week . We expect to find the proposed increase to the Guards lithe gether abandoned, and that of the Royal Artillery an d Line very considerably modified. As statements continue to be made by some of our contemporaries respecting new battalions, perhaps it maybe well f o r us to repeat what we have before said, that the incre ase in the Line will be made in the shape of an addition to each company ; consequently that no new battalions will be formed.—..lrmy and N avy Gazette. THE BUDGET.—In consequence of an impression prevalent among the spirit merchants of Glasgow that Mr. Gladstone intends in his Budget to propose an increase in the duties on spirits, the excise duties paid in that city dur ing last week have lar g el y increased .

William Ewart Gla'iti - '''' ' S i , s A cellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, '\&`:. : - , 7 '.• The Memorial of the Ne wcas tl e , Shi elds, an *tea head Chamber of Commerce, Respfctfully sheweth,—That the late proceed ings of the French Government with respect to the introduction of a modified tariff, and the intimation that that country desires to carry out this change by means of commercial treaties, 'nduces 1 his Cham 1 ber to bring under t he notice of her Majesty's Govern ment some rear arks on the productions of this locality, in the hope that any information on the geireral bearings of the respective articles herein after referred to may not be unacceptable. Although it is to be regretted that this change has to be inaugurated by means of commercial treaties which may more or less create difficulties, we doubt not a recollection of the opinions which were prevalent in this country not more than 20 years ago, when the question of free trade was not gene rally understood, will be deemed a sufficient excuse for there of our neighbours who desire to prolong the existing regulations for the longest possible period. The corn laws were first undermined by the per mission to grind foreign wheat in bond, a measure which was seriously opposed, yet it became the forerunner of free trade in corn ; and so will any commercial treaty with France become the stepping stone to free trade in that country. I COALS.—On this article it is hardly necessary to make any comment, as it is considered a raw mate rial on both sides of the Channel, and will, there fore, in all probability, be placed on a satisfactory' footing. As, however, it is proposed to defer the re duction of the duties for some time, it may be ad visable at once to secure to this trade any advan tages which may be attainable through the con templated change in the rates now payable in re spect of canal and railway dues. We would . also wish to point out that the Cue toms duties should represent the sole charge upon this article—excepting any octroi dues (so long as this impost shall remain in force) which should be made payable by all coals alike, and only at the place of their destination. It is apprehended that ckarges might otherwise be imposed by municipal authorities upon coals which may have to pass through municipal boun baries on their road from the ship to the place of consumption. COKE.—This article is at present charged with double the duty payable) in respect of coals. As it requires two tons of coals to make one of coke it may be difficult to obtain a better position fur the latter, so long as duties are imposed for the protection of native industry. IRON.—Pig iron, it is assumed, will naturally be considered a raw material, and be treated accord ingly. Other sorts of iron, such as castings, forg ingr, rails, bars, bolts, chains, anchors, cables, sheets, boiler and ship plates, &c., upon which labour has been employed, will in all probability be subjected to higher duties, though the policy of doing so may be questioned ; it will, therefere, only be necessary to secure in respect to them the lowest rate of admission which the French Government may tie disposed t o sanc ti on. GLASS.—Thi s article should be perfectly free on both sides of the Channel, as it is questionable which of the two countries can produce the cheapest and best description. It is presumed that each will excel the other in some branches of the trade. SOAP.—The same remarks apply in this case. EARTHENWARE.—The manufacture of thisartiele in this locality is mostly of second and third rate quality, and not equal to the earthenware made in Staffordshire and Worcestershire; to admit it at a nominal duty would therefore be an advantage to the French consumer. GRINDSTONES.—This article is cheap, and its utility to France is best proved by the fact that it is now imported to a considerable extent. ROPES AND SAIL CLOTH.—These are manufac tured here in moderate quantities ; and in regard to them, equality in respect to duty, both here and in France, may also be recommended. ARTICLES MADE OF FIRECLAY.—Fire bricks, and other articles made of fire clay, such as gas retorts, _ &c., sanitary and other pipes, common bricks, and draining tiles, are manufactured extensively, in consequence of the clay in this vicinity suitable for the respective purposes being inexhaustible. These articles being imported largely by almost all coun tries, it is presumed that the French also would de rive benefit from their free admission. LEAD.—Lead, both in pigs and manufactured into sheet lead and pipes, also white and red lead, &c., and pain ts of all sorts, are extensively produced, and might b• admitted at a moderate rate of duty. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENG LAND AND AUSTRALIA.—It will be seen by the resolutions which Mr. Forster is to move in the Assembly, that New South Wales is in the first instance asked to pay £9,625 per annum towards the proposed submarine telegraph from Moreton Bay to East Java. This subsidy is to be reduced to £7,700 by the contributions of the minor colonies. "Vic toria is to contribute £•25,371—a150 to be reduced to £20,300 in the same manner. The whole subsidy asked for is, there fore, £35,000; and in distributing the contributions of the several colonies, the proportions in which they contribute towards the postal subsidy have been preserved. Thus New South Wales will contribute 22 per cent., and Victoria 58 per cent, of the whole amount, though in the first instance the contributions of these two colonies are fixed at 271 per cent., and 721 per cent. respectively, so that the Company should deal with them alone, leaving New South "Wales and Victoria to deal with the minor colonies. 271 bears the same proportion to 72% as 22 does to 58. Western Aus tralia cannot be asked to contribute. Her share, how ever, is less than 1 per cent. towards the postal sub sidy. The share of New Zealand towards the same is 5 11-18. It would appear equitable that the new colony of Queensland should take upon herself the whole share of Western Australia, and half the share of New Zealand, which will only be brought within six days of London by the telegraph terminating- at Moreton Bay. The term of .50 years, during which the subsidy is to continue, is taken from the duration of the guarantee granted to the Red Sea and Indian line by the Imperial Government. 'We are also authorised to state that the figure of .05,000 has been cal culated with a view of leaving about 2 per cent. as a divi dend upon the estimated outlay (E 720,000), after paying the working expenses of the line, which, after careful investi gation have been fixed at £20,000 a year. It will be ob served with satisfaction that the payment of the subsidy is made conditional upon the efficient working of the line, ceasing if it ceases to work.—Sydney _Yarning Herald. The statement that certain captains were to be promoted, in order to get young men on the admirals' list, which appeared some shot t time back, having given rise to many inquiries, it may be as well to state that there is no foundation for the report.—Army and Navy Gazette. St. George's Hall, Windsor CAPtle, is now dis mantled of the principal part of its dramatic appurtenances. The stage and theatre are removed, and the hall is to be prepared for a musical performance, to take place on the 10th inst., in celebration of her Majesty's wedding-day, when a select party will be honoured with invitations to be present. - THE SUSSEX HALL LTBRARY.—Mr. L M. Roths child has purchased the Sussex Hall Library, which was about being brought under the hammer, consisting of about 4,000 volumes, and containing a collection of valuable Hebrew works. Mr. Rothschild has presented the library to the Jews' College, 10, Finsbury-square. It is expected that arrangements will be made whereby the books will likewise become available as a free library for the benefit of the Jewish community.—dervish Chronicle. THE MURDER IN SUSSEX. WINCHELSEA (SussEx), Saturday.—The inquest has just been concluded in this case, with a verdict of "Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The particulars are briefly as follows :—The deceased, whose body was found by the 'seashore, at the east side of Rye harbour, was identified as a man named W. sands, a native of Coxhcath, near Maid stone, Kent. He was about fprty years of age, and when found had been in the water apparently but a few hours. On his head were no less than six deep incisions, and also another over the right eye, evidently inflicted with some sharp instrument, and leaving no doubt that a most brutal murder had been perpetrated, the murderers afterwards throwing the body of their victim into the sea. The medi cal testimony clearly proved that the deceased met a violent death, and the jury returned the verdict stated above. A curious incident occurred two nights back in the course of the performance of the piece called " L'#!B; toire d'un Drapeau," at the Cirque-Imperial.

It was fonnd impossible to extricate him without cutting through the wall, and a mason was accordingly sent for, who soon set the prisoner free, at the cost of 10f., the pay ing of which, however, the miser thought worse punish ment than the sixteen hours' imprisonment,
