As forcible and sensible a speech as we have for some time past read was the one delivered by Mr. CAIRD on Tuesday last, to his constituents, in the Corn Exchange at Dunfermline. The hon. gentle man, in the course of that address, brought toge ther a number of facts and figures, often before now loosely quoted, but seldom if ever arranged in a cluster so irresistibly argumentative, in demon stration of the sore need (now for a long while pressing upon us) for a wise economy and a judicious retrenchment. Not one sixpence are we disposed to grudge in the furtherance of our national de fences. But occasionally the thought will force itself upon the taxpaying and toilworn millions of England, whether the cost of our army may not be after all somewhat exorbitant. Particularly when there is glaring upon us the indisputable fact that we are paying annually very considerably more for the maintenance of our army of 122,000 men, with a militia force of 50,000, than our neighbours across the Channel pay for a gigantic military organisation, comprising within it 500,000 of the finest soldiers in Christendom. Another and a very startling demonstration of the prodigality of our expenditure in the way of mili tary disbursements, the member for the Stirling district burghs mentioned on Tuesday namely, that "During the last two years of the war with Russia, when both countries were putting forth their strength, though in numbers of soldiers the French greatly exceeded us, the total charge for our armaments was £89,000,000, while that of the French at the same time was only £36,000,000 Now," observed Mr. CAIRD, " if in two years we absolutely threw away £50,000,000 more than the French in doing much the same work, it seemed reasonable to conclude that this wa.i the branch of the national expenditure in which a great saving might be made." At the same time the hon. member acknowledged, or rather, we should say, insisted, that any attempt at reduction in our expenditure upon the army ought to be made only with the utmost possible degree of circumspection. There is not a rational man in England but must be forcibly impressed by the consideration of the fact that we are annually spending in one way or an other in the conduct of the Government of these realms somewhere about £70,000,000! The rate of increase in our expenditure having, moreover been latterly most alarming ; insomuch that, as Mr. CAIRD reminds us, " within the last six years the annual expenditure had increased by upwards of £10,000,000, an d he could not anticipate any material diminution for many years to come." Altogether the hon, member went on to re mind his constituents and through them the country at large on Tuesday " X 50,000,000, or five-sixths of the whole, were comprised in the two great items —the interest of the national debt and the cost of the army and navy. The interest of the debt was .E25,000,000—X12,000,000 a-year more than that of France, and borne by a people one-fourth less numerouv. Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1843 reduced this burden by £2,000,000 a-year, but, except by the falling in of terminable annuities, there was little chance of a further reduction being for some time made." Whereupon it might have been re arded as almost superfluous to add that—" It was the cost of the army and navy that the recent great increase had. taken place." But it was not ' by any means superfluous under the circumstances for a liberal member like Mr. CAIRD, aldressing a thrifty constituency like that represented in the Corn Exchange of Dunfermline on Tuesday, to add thereupon immediately and earnestly, " Now he desired here to guard himself against the possi bility of misapprehension, for, whatever the cost might be of defending the country or maintaining its honour, he believed the stake to be worth it a hundred times over." Whereat the hall rang with cheers expressive of cordial ac piescence " But," continued Mr. Cnity (and. surely with sufficient reason), "efficiency might be had without sacrific ing economy, and when he compared the total cost of the French army and navy with ours he could come to no other conclusion than that in those great public departments in this country there was monstrous waste and extravagance." And then comes the contrast already referred to, as drawn by Mr. CAIRD, between the cost of our English army of 122,000 men and the cost of the great French army of 500,000 ! Followed by that allu sion, if possible, still more convincing in its way, the pertinent allusion to the total charge upon the French armaments during theßussian war, amount to £36,000,000, whereas the total charge upon our own armaments, during the same interval, reached, as we have seen, and long since felt very bitterly, the frightful aggregate of £89,000,000 — only eleven millions short of the scarcely conceiv• able sum of £100,000,000 ! It has been already observed, however, that Mr. CAIRD, though an advocate for economy in our expenditure, is still more earnestly an advocate for increased expendi ture, if need be, in the revision and re-organisation and extension and general improvement of our system of national defences. He even goes so far as to say, "Beyond all considerations of economy we mug make the country secure from the risk of invasion, the advantages of our insular position having been greatly impaired by steam." And while opposed, like the rest of us, to a large standing army as incompatible with a free constitution, he is heartened by the assurance given to us by the most competent military authorities, " that if we had a regular army large enough to withstand the first shock of invasion, there would be time enough for the whole country to rise like one man in its defence." So heartened is Mr. CAIRD by this con fident opinion of competent military authorities that he hesitates not to declare his conviction that " if we had avolunteer force of 300,000 practised rifle shots in the British islands no foreigners would dare to trouble us." Subsequently, Mr. CAIRD reminds his constituents—" Exactly 100 years ago there was an invasion panic in this country, and we actually imported foreign mercenaries to help to defend us. But," he goes on to add, rather in a tone of manly conviction than of boasting, " small comparatively though our army was, no man in this country for a moment now dreamt that we could not defend. ourselves." It is the feeling, more or less strongly realized, of the whole mass of our popu lation. And, assuredly, while such feelings are rife amongst us, there can be no cause whatever for panic, though there may be, as there undoubtedly is, every reason for preparation. Scarcely has the Coroner's Jury commenced its melancholy labours down at Moelfra, with a view to the discovery, if possible, of the precise causes of that frightful destruction of human life through the deplorable shipwreck of the Royal Charter, than new disasters of a like kind, though happily, far less destructive, come flashing to our knowledge through the electric wires from all parts of our coastline. One fearful gale, or rather hurricane, has succeeded another with a rapidity weniight almost venture . to designate unpre cedented. They have hardly completed at LLOYD'S the full catalogue of the first series of calamities, of ships wrecked, ships foundered, ships grounded, lives lost, and property destroyed—vessels to the number of upwards of 150, lives to the number of nearly 500, property to the aggregate amount, in specie or the precious metals alone, of more than £soo,ooo—when another, fortunately this time a lesser list, has forthwith to be commenced. Out of these disasters, however, we may draw, thank heaven, some deductions replete with conso lation. There is that last wonder of the world, our magnificent ocean steamer, the Great Eastern, which has thus been triumphantly tested to the very uttermost by a suc cession of tremendous gales or hurricanes. Through this double ordeal the leviathan of the deep has passed, we repeat, triumphantly. No ill whatever has befallen her in consequence—she has weathered the storms that have blown upon her with boreal fury—after having been threatened with destruction by the accidental shutting of one little trumpery stopcock. This, surely, is some thing gained to us through these otherwise most lamentable hurricanes. The Great Eastern not only rides through the first dreadful gale off Holy head, while the unfortunate Royal Charter, with upwards of four hundred souls, is crashing to destruction upon the rocky coast off Point Lynas, and while the shores of our whole island are strewn thickly with the debris of 150 shipwrecks more or less disastrous ! But upon the morrow, almost in the midst of the later gale, the Great Ship steams majestically, in defiance of roar ing wind and rolling waves, from Holyhead back to Southampton. She is seen at 8.30 this morning off the Isle of Wight—at a quarter past nine off Warner Light, steaming towards the Solent —five minutes later, passing through Spithoad— and at 10.45, within a mile of her own mooring ground, in Southampton Water, with steamers going out to welcome her arrival, and with a salute of seventeen guns firing from the Platform Battery, by way of greeting her on her return to her former destination ! A better opportunity, or rather sequence of oppor tunities, could hardly have been wished to con vince us of the extraordinary powers of resistance peculiar to this gigantic and wondrous specimen of naval architecture. Another source of peculiar satisfaction dis coverable among the records of this stormy weather off the shores of Old England, is the notable and glorious riding out of the first great gale by our newly-created Channel Fleet. The hurricane coming on suddenly, sur prised that gallant cluster of line-of-battle ships— surprised them so suddenly that they began, among otherpieturesque but perilous manoeuvres, to drive over the raging waters of the Channel in critical vicinity to, and with critical velocity past, the Eddystone Lighthouse. It is no unparalleled circumstance, of course, for a British Fleet or a British squadron to survive, without the loss of a spar, a gale, or hurricane that has strewn the coasts with the evidences of its destructiveness. But in respect to this recent and none the less glorious surely, because bloodless, achievement of our Channel Fleet—it must be borne in mind that it is a Ilea which has but just now been abruptly summoned into existence, insomuch that its late victorious passage through its conflict with the elmnents is really and truly to all intents and purposes its inaugurative triumph. Added to which, it is the first great Channel Fleet England has had sincq the introduction and organi zation of an entirely new system of naval architecture, and for that matter, also (to a very great extent), of an entirely new system of navigation. Iron-built vessels, impelled by steam power, acting through the screw propeller, have militated nothing from the perfec tion of seamanship distinguishing the Royal Navy of Britain among all the navies of all the world. How sang glorious CHARLEY DIBDEN, the Bard of the British Tar 9 D'ye mind me, a sailor should be every inch, All as one as a piece of the ship I" And what the tars were in the days of BLAKE or of NELSON, they are now, with all these magnificent new-fangled ievices in aid of seamanship, the steam engine, and the screw propeller ! The late gale has proved signally and incontestably that our sailors are in not one iota degenerated ! That they are naviga tors worthy of their heroic forefathers—with all the immense advantages accruing - to them from the pos session of auxiliary scientific powers that their dauntless forefathers never dreamt of. Such was, such is, the Royal Navy of England. Esto per petua ! SIR WM. NAPIER ON THE STRATEGY OF LIGHT INFANTRY AND RIFLE MTN: THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEVING, NOVEMBER 4, 1859: TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The recent letter by Sir Wm. Napier on the above subject is most timely and valuable, the more so because an erroneous statement on our volunteer rifle movement was made some weeks ago by a military officer of high rank, but of a branch of the service which has little practical knowledge of the working of light infantry. I can state a parallel with the fate of the brave man of the 71st Light Infantry whose life was uselessly squandered at the battle of Fuentes d'Onore. During the battle of Toulouse, when a portion of Lord Hill's corps attacked that part of the suburbs called St. Cypriene, my late regiment, the 34th, had to fight its way through vineyards divided by low thick stone walls. Near the close of the day I observed the dead bodies of two men of that company of the 60th Rifles that was attached to our brigade. When I mentioned the fact in the presence of somo officers of my regiment, one of them, a lieutenant of the same company that I belonged to, the grenadiers, said, " The two men killed by a cannon ball were two men of the 60th that were crouching behind a low stone wall. I struck them on the shoulders with the flat side of my sabre, and ordered them to stand up like men and not crouch down like cowards. They did so, and almost immediately two out of the three were killed by a cannon ball fired from a light field-piece." Thus an ignorant though brave man was the cause of the loss of two valuable lives. I am, your obedient servant, Rosherville, Nov. 2. J. NORTON. THE G.R.EAT EASTERN. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, 4 p.m. The Great Eastern, Captain Harrison, from Holyhead for Southampton, hove in sight to the westward, as observed from the hloe, about half past 2 o'clock this afternoon, and was out of sight in a line with the Mewstone at half-past 8 o'clock, Plymouth time, when she was passing through a fleet of trawl sloops. The Great Eastern was under fore and aft canvas on all her masts, excepting the one between the two foremost funnels. She carried colours at her peak ; as smoke was issuing from the two fore funnels and the aftermost funnels it was judged that the paddles and screw were both at work. Her speed was estimated at from 14 to 17 knots, course east by south, direct for Start Point; the wind southerly, a smart breeze. THURSDAY, 9 P.M. Some of the trawl sloops have come into har bour. They report that at half-past 3 o'clock the Great Eastern clewed up all canvas, probably to press on for night duty. At 4 o'clock she was approaching the Bolt Tail, going about nine knots, at which rate she would be abreast of the Start at 6 ; Portland, say 12 ; and reach the Needles at 6 to-morrow (Friday) morning. It is stated that she was off Penzance to-day at 12. After sunset the wind increased, and it is now blowing a strong gale, with much rain. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, 8.30 A.M. The Great Eastern has just appeared off the east end of the Isle of Wight, distant about 10 miles, steering N.E. . _ ~. 9.15 A.M. The Great Eastern is now steaming in, past the Warner Light, towards the Solent. _ __ 9.20 A.m. The Great Eastern is now passing through Spithead. SOUTHAMPTON, 10.45 A.N. The Great Eastern is in the river, within a mile of her mooring ground. Several steamboats have gone down to meet her, notwithstanding the wet, ancomfortable state of the weather. A salute of 17 guns is firing from the Platform Battery. COWES, ISLE OF JUGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NOVEMBER 3. SHIPPING DISASTERS. Tho Flora pilot boat, No. 5, has this afternoon towed into Cowes harbour the Norway brig Duon, Jacobsen master, from Frederickstadt for Painbumf, timber laden, full of water, with foretopmast gone, and mainmast by the deck. The schooner Mary, Brown master, of and for Cowes with a cargo of coals, foundered to-day off Haesbro —crew saved. She was the property of Mr. Weather, of this port. TILE GREAT EASTERN. The passing of the great ship up the channel has been notified by telegraph to-day almost every hour. The last received states that she will enter by the Needles passage at 7 o'clock to-morrow morning, and bo moored in South ampton water by 11 o'clock forenoon. Her moorings are not off Netley, as stated, but off Cadland Buoy, about mid way between Southampton and Cowes, or rather about five miles from Southampton, and six miles from Cowes. The Cowes and Southampton packets will pass close to the Great Eastern, besides which the public are promised that steamers will be run by three different steam-packet companies direct to the ship. The charge either from Southampton or Cowes to the ship and back is only to be one shilling. STRAND THEATRE. A fanciful extravaganza, from the pen of Mr. llalliday, entitled " Romeo and Juliet ; or, the Cup of ;Cold Pison," was produced at Miss Swanborough's pleasant little theatre last night, and was received with applause enthusiastic as it was well deserved. It is, as may be inferred from its name, a burlesque on Shakspere's romantic tragedy, and liko all such travesties is conceived in a spirit somewhat disrespectful to the genius and memory of our national bard. It will suffice to state, in general terms, that every scene, incident, and notable expression in Shakspere's play is perverted to purposes of fun, and that the most tragic passages are turned; if not "to favour and to pretti ness," certainly to ridicule and to merriment. Miss Charlotte Saunders' Romeo was worthy of her if not of him, and by every tone, glance, and gesture provoked hearty laughter. Miss Maria Wilton, as Juliet, was no less comic—and appeared to afford equal satisfaction to the audience. She was remarkably effective in the balcony scene, more particularly in the passage where she repu diates the idea that there is anything in a name, observing that the Serpentine by any other name would smell as sweet, and that for her part, though Romeo were called Jones, she'd " love him all the same." Miss Maria Simp son makes a capital Mercutio, and 'Miss 13ufton is seen to goad advantage as Paris, though she is handsome enough for llelen. The parts of the Apothecary and the Nurse are brought out in prominent and most ridiculous relief by Mr. Rogers and Mr. J. Clarke, whose respective per formances are outrageously farcical. We are sorry to announce that his Royal High ness the Prince Consort has not left Windsor Castle for several days past, in consequence of indisposition from a cold, and the usual attendance of the military and private bands, In the evening, has from the above cause been dis pensed with ILA: Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess I\larie of Russia, accompanied by their Imperial Highnesses the Princes George and Scrgai of Lcuchtenberg, arrived at Claridge's Hotel on Wednesday evening, from Torquay. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are ex pected in town early next week from their seat, Broadlands Hants. The Ocean of Brest states that the troops which have been fixed on for forming the expedition to China will leave that port at the beginning of December, LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office, November 4 : PARIS, Nov. 4. The French and English Governments have com pletely agreed on the bases of the Congress which is to be held at Brussels. All that remains to be settled is the official notification from the English Government. Her Majesty the Empress has asnisted for the last few days at the Council of Ministers, presided over by the Emperor. Count Walewski, since his return to Paris, on Tuesday last, has held conferences with Prince Metternich, Lord Cowley, Count Kisseleff, and the Marquis de Villamarina. The Moniteur announces that the Due de Padoue, late Minister of the Interior, has been appointed by an exceptional measure Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour•, in order to testify in a striking manner the satisfaction of the Emperor with his services. MARSEILLES, Nov. 3. Advices from Algiers to the Ist inst. state that Beni Suassen, terrified, had submitted to the French, accepting conditions of peace of a most severe character. The French expedition is pur- suing the other tribes. The Akbar announces that the Castle Algier has been wrecked between Genoa and Corsica. NICE, Nov. 2. A Russian squadron, composed of one man-of war and five frigates, will remain during tho winter at Villafranea. VENICE, Nov. 2. On the occasion of the reopening of the Opera a noisy demonstration has taken place here. Brigandage continues in the Venetian provinces. Several persons have been arrested in Verona by Hungarian soldiers for distributing revolutionary prints. INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. We have been favoured by the Peninsular and Oriental Company with the following telegram : AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The Bombay, with the mail from Australia, left Aden for Suez on tue 22d of October. The Delta, from Southampton, arrivod at Alex andria on the 25th, and the Vectis, from Marseilles, on the 26th of October. The letters will probably be delivered in London on Monday or Tuesday next. CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 28. A telegram has been received here announcing the departure from Aden (date not given) of the Nemesis, with the next incoming Calcutta and China mails. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Avon, from the Brazils, &c., passed Hurst Castle at 11.30 a.m. this day. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Moniteur publishes the Imperial decree which nominates M. Billault Minister of the Inte rior. It may be remembered that M. Billault, has already held the same office, having been succeeded in it by the late General Espinasse. The Ifoniteur says :—" It is with a deep feeling of regret that we learn by a telegraphic despatch of the 31st ultimo the death of the Viscount de Serre, Minister of the Emperor in Greece, who expired after a few days' illness. M. de Serre was nephew of a statesman who had been ambassador at Naples, after having taken part with distinction in the Councils of the Restoration. Faithful to the traditions which he found in his family, and en dowed with great ability, the deceased went through all the steps of his career, giving proof of incontestable merit. He was suc cessively- precis-writer at the department of Foreign Affairs, Chef du Cabinet during the Ministry of M. Baroche; First Secretary of Em bassy at Vienna; French Minister at the Court of the Grand Duke of Baden, and afterwards in Greece ; and had scarcely arrived at the age when experience of the world and of business completed the qualities necessary for diplomacy; he had, in fact, scarcely passed his 50th year. M. de Serre was married about three months ago to Mlle. Marie Cantacuzene, daughter of the Prince of that name." The cholera is, it appears, increasing in intensity amor g the French troops on the Morocco frontier. Several officers have fallen victims to it, and the total loss in every rank is stated to be over 1,500. THE BOURSE, Nov. 3.—The market has been rather heavy, and money tight for the continuations of shares to the end of the month. Threes, after having been done at 69f. 65c., rallied to 69f. 75c. ; Mobilier varied from 785 f. to 777 f. 50c.; Orleans, 1,367 f. 50c. to 1,362 f. 50e. ; Lyons, 912 f. 50c. to 905 f.; Southern, 515 f. to 512 f. 50c. ; Austrian, 542 f. 50c. to 540 f. ; Lombard, 550 f. to 548 f. 75c.

A communication from Vienna of the 30th ult., iu the Cologne Gazelte,says :—"A Council of Minis ters has been held on the Hungarian question. Rumours are current as to the measures to be taken in consequence of the movement which is being pre pared in Hungary, and it appears certain that the military forces in that country are to be increased. The deputation of Hungarian students who de manded the employment of the Magyar language in the University of Pesth has been received neither by the Minister of the Interior nor the Minister of Worship, although Count Haller, ad lades of the Archduke Governor, assured the deputation that it would be received. Surprise is expressed that it should have been misled." M. de Balabine, Russian Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, has returned to that city from Warsaw. SARDINIA. A letter from. Turin of the 30th ult., in the Union, says :—" M. da B Hmida, minister of foreign affairs, on returning from Paris, entertained the firm con viction, which he on several occasions expressed in the council of ministers, that the King of Sardinia must entirely abandon the idea of getting anything in Romagna, and must in particular recall all the Picdmontcse officers serving in the bands of Garibaldi, if he wished France to aid him in a European congress.' A courier was sent to Gari baldi with counsels in accordance with the desires of the French cabinet ; but the general replied by a very :sharp letter to the effect that the command country acdrofferedpscliyiap monthslecapable danph; e h aett i hobh m ille.atemate dooo b :fini y enst sehheirltaoi:lsetiaean, increased p invwb o datu l ahl i tut t eh i hi c aohra a tme l hnaieuindru c mc h f i o e of the Roma gno l t roops h a d b een spontaneously. it u fs n d of n t t that lbfe m eesers o ts b , t wha w nah na i o t without discipline 0 1 . cohesion, and that in less than two months he had incrcaed their numbers, and dis ciplined created the army of Romagna, and that the fate of the country was in his hands, and that conse quently he would never in any case cede to the counsels of a power which has injured the Italian cause. He said moreover that if the Piedmontese Ministry should be disposed to adopt a new line of policy different from that which he and the Ca your cabinet had adopted in common, he (Garibaldi) would maintain alone that policy, and would cause it to triumph over all weakness and all resistance." This letter, which, it is said, was addressed to the King, was read is full council ; and it caused a difference of opinion among the ministers—MM. d 9. Bormida and La Marmora wanting to disavow completely the presumptuous general, to join the Conservative party, and the other Ministers being opposed to such a rupture. It is this incident which gave rise to the report that a modification was about to take place in the policy of the Ca binet." Another Turin letter of the 30th ult., says " General Garibaldi, who arrived heze the evening before last, left again yesterday for Bologna, after a long audience with the King. MM. Mighorati and Rosa, who were the only Piedmontese func tionaries remaining in Romagna, have just resigned their posts as intendants of Ferrara and Ravenna. You will not fail to perceive the political significa tion of this measure, with which the Sardinian Go vernment and M. Dabormida's late journey to Paris are not unconnected." ROME. A letter from Rome in the Independence of Brussels says :—" I have reason to believe that the following details respecting the understanding come to beween the Pontifical court and France are exact. The Duke de Gramont, during the stay of the Pope at Castel-Gandolfo, contrived with great tact to give co the Pope salutary counsels. I will reflect seriously, Monsieur le Duc,' said the Pope to the ambassador on the eve of leaving for Porto d'Anxio, on all that you have said to me, and for which I am much obliged to you. On my return we will endeavour to come to an understanding on what is not contrary to the interests of the Church.' The day after his return the Pope was the first to revive the subject, and from what he said in the course of a long conversation, the French ambassador felt almost certain that Pius IX. is disposed to make serious reforms, such as extensive judicial ameliorations, communal elections on large and liberal bases, and a very extensive secularisation of the administration ; but the Pope, it is said, stipulates that first of all the in tegrity of his states shall be gy.aranteed to him. This last point presents a serious difficulty. The Duke de Gramont, however, not discouraged, has assured the Pope of French protection, and has dwelt on the fact that the treaties of Villafranca and Zurich adopt the principle of the re-establish ment of his temporal power in the Legations. He, however, at the same time showed the Pope the impossibility of foreign intervention, and laboured to convince him that a restoration of ' his authority would be infinitely more easy if the proclamation of a new system of administration were to precede coercive measures—measures which it is admitted the Pope has the right to take, provided they do not assume the character of foreign intervention even on the part of another Italian State. The Duke de Gramont, in order no doubt to encourage the Pope in his favourable intentions, has hinted that it is possible that the departure of the French troops from Rome may be delayed. But notwithstanding these favourable incidents, Cardinal Antonelli is still struggling against French influence." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. contain no other news respecting the projected war with Morocco than that active preparations for sending out an expedition continne to be made at Algesiras, Barcelona, Cadiz, and Malaga; and that a Russian squadron had arrived at Algesiras. MOROCCO. The Moateur de l' Armee publishes the follow. ing details relative to Morocco : " The Emperor of that country has a revenue of about 2,500,C00 piastres (about 12,500,000 f.) yearly, and expends about 1,000,000. Tho following is a statement of his receipts and expenditure. In the former there is found : Piastres. El,Ashara and La Naiba, war contributions and cattle 730,000 La Djazia, taxes on Jews 30,000 El Ankes, excise duties El Kesb ed Derab, Royalty on the coining of money. 50,000 El Aniad, customs dues in 14 ports .., ... El Talihnit, sale of tobacco 25,000 El Kera, rent of Imperial domains El "Deiat, exchequer dues 150,000 El Adaia, presents of consuls, Christian met , - . chants, and persons who obtain audiences.... 225.,000. Total 2,600,000 In expenditure there are the following items : Piastres. The Imperial hsusehold, harem, and stables llO,OOO Palaces and public gardens Presents to Mecca, to the cheriffs of Taffilete, Mosques, an sanctuaries Salaries of Governors of Tangiers, Suira, Te tuan, Larrache, Marmora, &c 5OOOO Land forces 650,000 Navy *ooo "suls '- E - 15. - Salaries of consuls in .c:urope Messengers 5,000 Total 990,000 Whence there results a surplus of above 1,500,000 piastres, which are yearly confined to the Imperial coffers at Mequinez, guarded by 2,000 negroes. The army is divided into two parts ; one, called active, is composed of the Emperor's Moors ; and the other consists of militia, commanded by the go vernors. The Emperor pays the former, which consists of 20,000 men. The militia are paid out of the local taxes. There are also in large towns, such as Fez, Morocco, Tangiers, &c., an urban force, which is augmented in case of need by all inhabi tants capable of bearing arms. When a large army is formed the governor commands the troops of his province, and is bound to provide everything ne cessary. The Emperor's guard generally lives at the expense of the towns where it happens to be. The generalissimo of the troops is the Emperor himself, or, in his absence, one of his sons, or a prince of the Imperial family. After him come the bajas, or governors, the mocadenies, or colonels; and the caid-el-jamsi, who have each the command of 2,500 men. The corps of artillery consists of about 1,000 men, indifferently trained." The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Bregcnz, in the Ty rol, dated the 29th ult. :—" The departure of the battalion of Austrian infantry in garrison at that place has taken place more promptly I than had been expected, owing to the Italians of whom it is principally composed, having considered that the execution of the promise that they should soon be dismissed and be allowed to enter the ser vice of Piedmont, was too long delayed, and having in consequence created a tumult in their barfacks, and clamorously insisted on being discharged. The officers succeeded in calming them, but only on the condition that they should be sent in detachments by way of Innspruck to the Italian provinces, in which they were enrolled." TIIE PAKINGTON TESTIMONIAL—The dinner at which the presentation of the county testimonial N Sir John Pakington is to take place has been fixed for the 21st of December next. The testimonial consists of a shield, com posed of solid silver, '4O inches in diameter, gilt and oxy dised, and is divided into four grand divisions, under the heads Justice, Marine, Colonies, and Education. Justice is represented by Judge Gascoigne rebuking Prince Henry; Marine by the death of Nelson ; the Colonies by the landing. of Captain Cook on the shores of New Holland ; and Edu cation by the presentation of the first printed book to Ed ward IV. by Earl Rivers and Caxt n. These divisions ter minate in heads or portraits of eminent men, namely, under Justice, those of Sir Thomas Lyttelton, Lord Keeper Coventry, and Lord Somers; under Marine, King Alfred, Blake, and Nelson ; under Colonies, Franklin Cook, and Drake; under Ed uca ti on , King henry VI., Cardinal Wolsey, and Sir Thomas Bodley. A FAMILY POISONED.—On Sunday morning, three of the children of henry Fullwood. an agent to Messrs. Benjamin Gibbons and Sons, of Upper Gorval, near Dudley, being unwell, their parents sent for a quan tity of senna, directing a little " India pink" to be mixed with it. The person who supplied the articles was a Mr. John Davies, who has recently established a drug business.,, Instead of sending the above articles, he, by mistake, sent senna mixed with a common poison. The children, about two hours after taking the mixture, mani fested the most piteous spectacle. Their eyes seemed as if they were coming out of the sockets. They exhibited a raving unconsciousness, and were .soon all thr ee o f th em apparently deadly prostrate. Mr. John Ballenden, sur geon, was called in. He resorted to every medical expe dient, and at last mitigated the fearful symptoms. The children arc now recovering, but only slowly.—Manehester Guardian, AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

The City of Washington, which touched at Queenstown yesterday, with late advices from New York, has arrived. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-sloop Virago, 6, Commander Dunn, which arrived here this morning, brings intelligence from Gibraltar to the 25th ult. She has a mail and despatches from the Com mander-in-Chief at Gibraltar, and a despatch from the British representative at Tangier to Lord John Russell, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It was currently reported at Gibraltar that, al though the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Tangier had struck his flag, he had not proclaimed the de claration of war. The gunboat Redpole arrived on the 25th at Gibraltar with official communications and 150 Moorish refugees. The Lapwing and the Coquette are passing con. stantly between Tangier and Gibraltar. Algesiras continues in quarantine. The British fleet at Gibraltar composed the Marl borough, Edgar, Centurion, Conqueror, Victor Em manuel, Orion, Neptune, Cwsar, Agamemnon, Lap wing, Flying Fish, and James Watt, which was under quarantine in consequence of one or two cases of smallpox. The Doris sailed for Mogadore on the 23d, and the Scylla on the 25th. The Scourge sailed for Malta on the 25th. The Flying Fish arrived on the 24th, and was coaling on the 25th. The Cadmus and Vulture were at Tangier, en deavouring to raise the gunboat Quail. The French squadron off Algesiras consisted of five line-of-battle ships and one frigate. The Spanish squadron included one liner, two small frigates, and four or five lesser steam-vessels. The advices from Gibraltar to the 29th ult., re ceived at Southampton by the mail steamer Ceylon, state that Tangier has every appearance of a deso lated city. Nearly all the peaceably-inclined Moors, with their families and goods, had gone into the interior or mountainous parts of the country for safety, and the few remaining Hebrews, intending to abandon their houses, were about to embark in the vessels lying in harbour. The total number of fugitives who had arrived at Gibraltar was 2,666, and every day was largely adding to the number. The city was nearly deserted by Europeans and others who wished to leave before hostilities com menced. We learn from Algesiras that Mr. Blanco del Valle, who had arrived from Tangier on the after noon of the 26th ult. in the Vasco Nunez de Balboa, war steamer, continued in that city. It was said that Gen. O'Donnell, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army, was shortly expected from Alicante, on his way to Cadiz, whence the troops would embark for Morocco. When the Arab left Tangier, on the 28th, there I remained in that harbour her Majesty's screw frigate Doris, Capt, Ileatheote, and screw corvettes Cadmus and Scylla. The Doris, it was understood, was to leave next day for the coast as far as Mega dore, where she would meet the Coquette steam despatch-boat, which had gone some days previously to apprise British subjects of the declaration of war against Morocco by the Spanish Government. It was expected these two vessels would bring away the British residents who were willing to avail themselves of the opportunity. The gunboat Quail, Commander Noel Osborne, which called at Gibral tar at 1 p.m. on the 28th, from Tangier, left almost immediately afterwards for Tetuan, where the ar rival of a British man-of-war was anxiously looked for by the European residents. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Vulture, Capt. Campbell, after taking in a supply of water at the New Mole, returned to Tangier dating the night. The Tangier correspondent of the Gibraltar (Iwo m'cle, in his letter of the 25th ult., says : " War is fast approaching by its natural course. Mr. Blanco and his Vice-Consul, without apprising any one, embarked yesterday aftertmon ; and this morning—l don't know by whom—the flagstaff where the Spanish ensign used to be hoisted was broken to pieces, to the great joyof the Moors, who while they saw the flag displayed, believed that the question might still be arranged, and now hos tilities must very soon commence. "The beautiful Spanish Consular-house, situated in a most conspicuous spot, is now converted into four barren walls; and during the few days that - - Mr. Blanco stayed here he had to bring from al board the mattress on which he slept. " The enthusiasm of the Moors for war is momen tarily increasing, and the subject of their conversa tions now is exclusively upon the rewards which they expect to obtain in Paradise after killing in battle one or two infidels. Governuicnt, on this occasion , . supplies with powder every one, from the hig hest to the lowest, who may wish to take up arms in the defence of Islamism. " The emigration continues without abatement. The French consular despatch-boat Albert left for Gibraltar this morning overloaded with passengers and baggage, and at this moment a great many others are embarking in the Redpole. Our worthy representative, notwithstanding his important ,oc cupations, receives with the greatest kindness Jul those who, with tears, apply to the Consulate for, passage, assuring them that all will be emba rked in the British men-of-war, and that he will not go on board until there is not a soul remaining wh o may wish to leave. " The whole of the personnel belonging to th.: French mission will embark to•morrow, and it 1 believed that they will proceed to Cadiz rather thp.all to Gibraltar. Several consuls, hearing that Nr• Drummond Hay intends remaining in the h.sY,_ during the operations, have manifested t h e ir desuu also to remain." The same correspondent writes as follows el l the 27th : "Tangier, Oct. 2 7 . t. " I have nothing new to report since my 1 1 18 ,, s The embarkation of passengers and baggag e --,;( continued incessantly, and I am at a loss to knt where so many people and articles of every oa: scription were accommodated in Tangier. A ee°l. l, u 0 ing to calculations made it was believed th at t Hebrew population did not exceed 2,000 souls, anoo it now positively amounts to more than 3,1) between those who have already g one to Gibraltar; Algesiras, and Tarifa. The French war t hest, e , a Mouette left yesterday for that place with a o t families of that nation, the captain taking ea re ,, — „ e e to receive on board any one who could not pr od a French passport. till " All the erngloyes of the French mission are o f here. The Earl of Lonsdale took a great nurl u o , passengers, all in indigent circumstances, anu thanks to the generosity of Mr. Mateos, wer e 'I I veyed gratis. The Redpole is at this momen t e i barking a very large number. Mr. Prumnl e " Hay has sent round the place a public crier to y prise the people that he is anxious that everY b° should embark, and to witness their departu r .,., o have been told he has sent word to those that ced invalided in order that they may also be eMb er , Da, for Gibraltar, where there are very good ho s r e o r and in which they would be treated with evrerYg eol fort. I believe that acts like this carry - wit L a ve all the deserved praises, and consequently I " t o f your readers at liberty to judge of the arro un p ,ty gratitude owing by these people to our rePr es Thee tive. Hostilities will not, it is believed, COmn le so soon." Bea" On the evening of the 27th the steam-tender et pole arrived at Gibraltar from Tangier wit h Oc o f 400 fugitives. When the Redpole left the fl e g s ere the British, French, and American natio ns sc . still observed flying over the consular h ouse ' ra o Tangier. The Kabylo tribes, which had for r ole days been hovering about in the environs nt7th. town, made their entry into the city on the 2 the The three Spanish war steamers left Tang ier the same morning, supposed to have proceeded to westward. The following is an extra c t o f a private letter r. e ceived at Gibraltar by the B r iti s h brig St. F ran cl* dated Tetuan, Oct. 25 : " The fears of a war b e t ween Spain and M ci a le ' and that hostilities may ver y soo n commenc e, — ay created a great sens a ti on .
