After all the various rumours which have been afloat in regard to the projected increase of our standing army, it appears from a statement made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his late speech o» intro ducing the militia proposition to the House of Com mons, that no augmentation will be demanded beyond about four thceasand men. Even for this small additional requirement, we are only indebted to the state of affairs in South Africa, so that it may be viewed in the light of a pro visional and exceptional measure. The fact is, we have a sufficieo.cy of regiments and soldiers, but the former are not by any means in that effective state of consolidation which an easy re-arrangement would produce. The depot system, as at present applied to regiments on colonial service, ought to be placed upon the same footing as that of those serving in our East Indian possessions, and a small staff, with a couple of officers at the head, substituted for the existing retention of four companies. Furthermore, and indeed principally, with respect to our Infantry "rl3B, Guards and Line (and in the former we should not be at all sorry to see the third batta lion of the Grenadiers reduced, and the army list eased of so many precocious field-officers), each batta l ion should consiat of eight com , Panie', of one hundred rank and file each, whereby we would have, after deducting twenty-five battalions for India, and eight colonial ones, an infan try force for home and colonies of sixty-eight thou sand rank and file, or in round .numbers of 75 000 infantry of all ranks. It is rumoured, and it is to be effected in fantry with truth, that the arm y i s to be improved by an addition of four batt a li ons and as many of rifles (to of be light by conversion of an equal number of the " heavy bobs"), and by the arming of each regimental light company with the rifle. These would i n d eed be steps in the right direction: The advantages and even necessity of some considerable amelioration of the present infantry equipment have been so profusely discussed and demonstrated. of late in the public journals, that we shall not here dwell upon that branch of the subject. ale necessity for keep ing pce with the modern improvements in firearms which have been adopted by certain of our continental neighbours is beginning to be generally felt. Even those s l ow coaches t h e A us t r i ans are , we understand, turning their attention as well as the acute Feench to tip. question of substituting rifles for muskets. The Austrian troops at Ancona have been recently supplied with sixteen of the newly invented German rifles to every company o f a h un d re d an d eighty men, and these soldiers are now daily drilling as sharpshooters. It appears that the whole Austrian infantry has been similarly supplied, and HEAR THIS, LADIES.—The learned Niebuhr, when in this country stayed some time in the north, and it is stated by his biographer, that in the vicinity of Edinburgh, be visited the seat of Sir John Murray, of Kirkland's Hill, whose wife was "somewhat rough, though pleasant," and who " smoked her pipe, laughed at it, and protested it was no sin." We would ratherf reconcile ourselves to the " pan telettes" than the pipe, notwithstanding all that bas been said of the Bloomers.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IdY TWO FOREIGNERS. —Some fews days ago the police received in formation that a woman of the name of Caroline Karma, a servant in the family of Dr. da Alguer, 4, Ovingtot-terrace, Brompton, had absconded from her situation, taking with her a quantity of valuable jewellery and other property to the amount of 2001., and notwithstanding every effort of the police she eluded their vigilance until yesterday stternoon, when, as Superintendant Otway and Inspector Menckton of the C division were proceeding down Cambridge-street, Golden-square, they saw the woman c-me out of ter. I ates', a pawnbroker in the same street. They followed her to the Hotel do l'Europe, Leicester-place, which she entered. After waiting a few minutes the officers went in, and, on proceeding to a frent room on the third floor they found a man, who gave the name of Wen zeslaus Joseph Stralsener, and the wolves whom they had followed. The latter was counting out some money to the man, and on being told the nature of the charge against them, the man took a razor from his waistcoat pocket, and before the officers were aware of it, drew the blade across his left wrist, and directly fell on the floor. Inspector Monckton immediately extricated the rasor from his grasp, and in the struggle it fell from his hand. The woman directly caught it up, and cut her left wrist in the same manner, and fell down in a state of insensibility. They were at once conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, and on being examined by the surgeon, he found that the arteries had been completely severed, and that they were it a dan gerous state. Two constables were left in charge of them, and as soon as they are sufficiently recovered, they will be taken to the police court, Westminster, there to undergo an examination on the charge of robbery.

In pur. suance of this change, an inquest was held on Friday even ing in the Town-hall by Mr. W. Baker, the coroner. This proceedin,f was strongly opposed by Mr. Finney, the land lord of the King's Head Tavern, and several other pariShi oners, who demanded to kn ow by what authority she inva riable custom of holding in quests at public-houses had been changed. One of the odic./ :,rs of the parish said the parochial trustees considered there were great objfetions to coroners' inquests being held at put ,lic-houses; it detracted from the respectability and velem .nity or a court of juttico.

Whether the present Ministry will continue much Luger in office, or be driven from the posts of Ad. ministration, must very speedily become apparent. During a considerable time past it has exi s t e d on l y on sufferance. Popularity, indeed, was never its at tribute even in its palmiest days, for the success of Lord JOHN Russzu , in first attaining the rank of l l rtaa Minister was attributable less to his, own NEW AND OH EAP OMNIBUSES. Yesterday a number of new and well-appointed omnibuses commenced running between the Paddington terminus of the Great I*esteru Railway an d the Great Northern station, at Bing a cross. The fare is 2d. for the entire distance. FIRE AT DART roan.—The firemen of the London brigade, with a &troll ? number of hired auxiliaries, have beers actively employed ever since their arrival on Ssiturday nig'nt in endeavouring to get the fire at the ?tumult Paper Mill entirely extringuir,hed, but up to last evening have been un successful, anal a Knass of fire still remains beneath the ru ins. 2uo women were employed in the mill, all of whom h ave been thrown: out of work. REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Charles I 4usbington has . announced his intention of retiring from the 1 epresentation of ' Westminster at the close of the present Parliament. Ai nong many gentlemen spoken of as pro bable candidates, . one has already announced himself in the person of Mr. J. )hn Villiers Shelley, of Maresfield Park, Sussex, who des( :ribes himself as a landowner and practical farmer. He is f. )r vote by ballot, coupled with an extension of the franchise, a corn-law repealer, and an enemy to grants from the public 1 curse for other than secular purposes. A great desire exit as on the part of a numerous section of the constituency to i Fr vite Lord Palmerston to come forward ; and a public me e ling of electors will be called in the course of 'a few days to consider the desirableness of memorialising the Noble Visccest :t on the subject.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. 19%% 6% The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at from 12,000 to 14,000 bales, of which 1,000 Surat and 500 American were taken for export, and 1,500 Surat and 1,500 American on speculation. The market closed with an upward tendency, and American and Surat were 3d. per lb. higher, and all other kinds were tight.—Railway Shares were fist at lower prices. Some conversation has taken place upon the nume rous failures that have occurred in Dublin. and the im pression prevails with many that the trade of that city is in a state of decay. We believe, however, that this is entirely erroneous, for it must be remarked by those who pay attention to the subject, that the parties who have suspended are mostly in the colonial and provision branches, and these it is well known have been more fluctuating than any other. Compared with what has occurred in London, the liabilities of the different firms are unimportant, anl many of them will pay a very fair dividend. We apprehend that the same mistake has been made throughout the world with regard to the future prices of tropical staples. There cannot be any safety in speculating for a rise at the present day, and we should strongly deprecate fal lacious hopes, because the sooner a permanent level is established the better it will be for the growers as well as the merchants. Taking Sugar and other articles in the Calcutta and West India markets at prices which it seems impossible to realise in London, is a proceeding which any school-boy would understand to be ruinous in its results, and yet throughout the past year this may be said to have been done by merchants of standing and ex perience. We have before explained, however, that this is not so much an error of judgment as a compliance with force of circumstances, for if our manufactures are pressed into the Eastern markets beyond the power of consumption, there is no alternative but to accept what we can get in return, and the greater the demand the higher, of course, will_ be the prices. In Mincing•lane, at present, there is a far greater amount of caution, and we could hardly point to one article in which the sales are more than equal to the average weekly consumption. These may give a dull appearance to general trade, but it is a healthy system, and those only who think of becoming suddenly rich, and who, as often, are made irretrievably poor, will object to it. It is aatistaciory also to know that our provision markets are firmer, and that the Admiralty thinks it advisable to give a prefer ence to Irish cured meats. This was proved by the smaller quantity of American taken when the last con tract was entered into. Grain, likewise, is not expected to go lower, and the late harvests in the north of Europe will not leave any large surplus for exportation to Eug , land, unless.a greater temptation is offered with regard to prices. Objections are making to the Australian Mail con tract, and Mr. French urged upon Parliament last evening that Mr. Walton had not performed his agree ment in forming a company. This is obviously an error, because we have already been informed by public advertisement that the Australian Mail Steam-packet Company . have purchased two screw-vessels, which will be ready in April to make a commencement; and al though we have before urged that we require at least, in the present altered circumstances of the colonies, a monthly communication, we must likewise feel gratified that the movement has been made, and are certain that the feeling in the City is that the new company has taken it at an exceedingly low figure. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 16th inst. was well supported for Dutch Bonds. South American were likewise in request. The more the question of the Exchequer-bills is con sidered, the greater the dissatisfaction expressed with the conduct of Sir Charles Wood in not availing himself of the existing abundance of money to effect some re lief of the existing burden. It is true, the saving upon the 8,500,0001. falling due would be only about 32,0001. if the daily interest were lowered to 13d. per cent., but this is an object, and with the existing high pre mium upon the bills, it is obvious the public could obtain the saving. We apprehend the Government in its weakness thinks to "curry favour" with the banking interest by postponing the measure, but in this they may be mistaken, seeing the general iinpolicy of their proceedings and their consequent unpopularity. The Stock Market is still heavy and there is very little money business doing. Consols bring 97 1 for Transfer and 973 to 4 for Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 58s. to 615., and on India Bonds 695. to 718. premium. The New Three-and-a- Qaarter per Cents. are 996 to 3, an d the Three per Cents. 973 to 98.

The Deferred are 18/ 3, and the Certi ficate has risen to 13 per cent. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 323 3. Grenada Bonds have been quoted lower, sales being made to realise profits. The Active have been 214 and since 203. Equador are also down, tieing 43 3. Deferred Grenada have re ceded to 73. These stocks have been run up too fast, and not altogether upon valid ground, for one follows the other. Venezuela Old Stock is at 374. Belgian Four-and a-Half per Cents. are 915, and Latch Four per Cents. 92 to I. Mexican Stock has been worth 323 ifor Money, and up to 323 and 33 for Account. Peruvian Old Bonds are at 983. Railway Shares have been rather weaker, but sales have not been pressed. Gold Mines have been firm and a moderate business is doing in them. The following is from the Committee of Spanish Ame rican Bondholders respecting the Equador debt:— " At a meeting of the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, held to-day, it was determined, in pur suance of a resolution passed at a meeting of Colombian Bondholders, held some time since, to dispatch Mr. Ekes Mocatta of Liverpool, to Quito, to endeavour to effect an adjustment of the foreign debt of the republic of the Equador."

Mr. LOCKE KING gave notice that, on the second reading of the new Refurm Bill, he should move as an amendment that no reform in the representation of the people in tho House of Commons would be satisfactory to the country which did not include a more equal pro portion of Members to the population than existed at present. MR, BENNETT. _ _ Mr. HORSMAN gave notice that, on an early day, he should call the attention of the House to the appoint ment of the Rev. Mr. Bennett to the living of Frome.

Agreed to. COUNTY RATES BILL. Mr. FRESHFIELD, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said it had been introduced for the purpose of consolidating all Acts relating to county rates, and amending ail their incongruities. Under the Bill not a shilling more would be raised than was done at present, nor would any person be subject to any liability which was not already imposed upon him. But it was abso lutely necessary that the incongruities should be re moved, and the law rendered consistent in itself and made more practicable. The subject had been investi gated by several committees appointed by various counties, and the result of the investigation was a Bill which fixed the rateable value of all counties, which he now proposed to repeal. That Act was at first defective, in so far as it did not specify to whom the notice of ap peal was to be given in the event of an appeal being made, and another Act was passed to remedy this detect, but it did it so clumsily that this Act was found to be inoperative, and he therefore now proposed to amend the provisions of that Act. Some of the existing Acts confounded tke levying with the assessment of a rate—the two proceedings, in fact, being treated as synonymous; and this Bill would remedy that defect. It would give the sessions of the county power to establish the basis of a rate, and authority to assess the rate, each pariah having a month given to them for appeal against any excessive assessment. The assess ment would be made annually, and a standing county rate committee would be created in each county, the members to be elected annually, and their duties to con sist of investigating the appeals. The power, however, of dismissing or allowing the appeal would rest with the Court of Quarter Sessions, and the standing committee would have to prepare reports for the guidance of the sessions. The mode of assessment which this Bill contemplated was that which was now in force for levying the poor -rate, and apologising to the House for detaining them so long, he had now only to more the second reading of the Bill. Mr. BOUVERIE would not oppose the second read ing of the Bill, but at the same time he entertained con siderable objection to the Bill. In the first place, the Bill was intended to consolidate the statutes relating to the county rate, but it omitted some of the existing statutes, and therefore it was defective in that respect. There were other defects of detail in the Bill besides its being objectionable in so far as it related to the mode of assessment, and the mode of estimating each valuation for levying the rate. given for diEcussing the whole of Its details. Ile bore testimony to the demoralizing tendency which the great consumption of spirits had upon the people of Scothsnd, and to the urgent necessity which existed for some legis lative enactment upon the subject.

Mr. B. 'HOPE thanked the Hon. Member for Boston for having introduced this Bill. He could not under stand why the Government should object to the basis of the valuation proposed to be established by the Bill, since that basis was precisely the same as that upon which the income and property-tax had been founded. The Bid, however, was detective in one re spect, it made no provision for a net valuation, but, per haps. the ti feet could br rernedii d in Committee. Mr. HUME was glad this question had been raised, not that he anticipated that this Bill would be passed into a law, but it might settle the disputes that now ex isted as to the best mode of valuation. At present there was a variety of valuations in force in different parishes, and it was impossible, to have a fair representation of the people in that House, unless a Bill was passed to establish a general and uniform rate all ll p e e t r h p o e u s g e. ht Government ought to ov bringer the in a Bill country.for the "Mr. C. LEWIS said the law at present was as strong as it could be made; that the valuations for the poor and county rates should bo equal and uniform, and there was no to press such a Bill as th a t suggeste d b y th e H none.cessity Member for Montrose. It was true that the poor law valuation was occasionally unequal, but neverthe. less he trust object in Coto to placing the county-rate upon a different basis to the poor-rate, or it would in volve the expense of two assessments. Mr. HENLEY said such tormidable difficulties hap arisen to the further progress of the dill, that the Hen. Member must be a very courageous man it he ventured to encounter the labour and attention which would he req uired of him if he went into Committee. It was a very objeciotiable measure in principle, and he regretted that the Goverement had not recommended its with drawal, as to proceed with it was only to waste the time of the House. Mr. FRESHFIELD said he felt no alarm or nervous affections in consequence of the Hon. Member's caution. The Bill was ono of the most simple in operation, and he anticipated no difficulty or serious obstruction to its passing through the House. The Bill was then read a second time.
