Articles have been in serted with the Republic •of Hayti and the Kingdom of Portugal which assimilate to and give power to punish as piracy the slave trade. His efforts are directed to procure the insertion of similar articles into - the treaties with other Powers, so that the slave trade may be denounced by international law as piracy ; and it is to be hoped that he may succeed in obtaining the mutual right of search, which would more than any other measure tend to the suppression of this inhuman traffic. If a great Free Negro Republic can be built up—and little doubt now remains of . the ability -of these 'people'to tablish stichTMAtteMm""Wstil —a power will be fostered which will cut at the root of negro slavery, which will elevate the negro character, and silence for ever those who hold the lowest opinions on the capacity of the race. Liberia is to the negro the promised land, and GERARD RAL STON will long be remembered by them as their benefactor.—Anglo- A merican Times. PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. American Revcnue. -a-- The amount of revenue derived from duties on imports and internal revenue taxation is swell ing to such large proportions as exceeds altogether the calculations of oar financiers, and exhibits an example at once of willingness and capacity to bear taxation on the part of the American nation in a time of profound peace, which, we believe, is en tirely without parallel. The revenue of the United States for the three months from July 1 to Septem ber 30, 1866; will stand thus :-1865: Customs in gold, $51,092,140 ; taxes in currency, $102,000,000; total, $153,092,140. This is the amount derived from customs and excise taxes alone, without any reference to miscellaneous receipts from the sale of Government property or other sources, which dur ing the quarter amounted to over seven millions, but cannot be calculated on as a source of perma nent income. These returns, as compared with the corresponding period of 1865, show a gain for the three months of—Customs (gold), $4,082,646; taxes in currency, $3,381,124 ; and abundantly warrant the conclusion that we may expect the revenue, under existing circumstances, fully to main tain this amount, which at this rate will be over six six hundred millions of dollars a year. The expen ditures for the same period will foot up as follows : —War, Navy, Interior Departments, and miscellane ous expenses, $44,000,000 ; Interest on Public Debt, s34,ooo,ooo—total, $78,000,000; which would make the annual expenditures of the country three hundred and twelve millions, or as near as possible to one half the income. Such an exhibit of financial strength would be incredible to foreign countries, if it were not sus tained by facts that cannot be denied, and very greatly exceed the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury, who calculated that the revenue for the year, the first quarter of which we are now examin ing, would be for Custoni, gold, $100,000,000 ; taxes, currency, $275,000,000; total, $375,000,000; while the expenditure in every department would be $284,317,181 ; leaving au estimated surplus of $111,08:281.8 instead of $300,000,000, which we have seen the past experience of the country shows now may be expected. It is thus made apparent that the United States, after paying all the expenses of the army, naval and civil governin , e ci i wn i oT t tue , henrbaeteenrslydtie questionion c nne a i khi its ‘t' thehi s n a i osreniia: Britain s ii o rn u r e ri a t r i l l e i o t e c vn s e p e l n a e ue y f x t e rn e g oe e r fp n e t t a a en t o d e y f r l world, o g t l r e l l n f d i Ic t i : t ic G l h ei a: br e n to : then arises, and it is one demanding the thoughtful consideration of the statesman who can comprehend all the results and consequences, social, political, and moral, which arc involved, rather than the mere financier who can regard the matter only as a ques tion of debtor and creditor, of money resources and demands, what disposition may be most widely made of this enormous and unlooked-for excess of income over expenditure. We have, ever since the close of the war for the Union contended that a moderate payment in liquidation of the public debt —say from fifty to one hundred millions of dollars a year, would be the wisest financial policy, giving, as it would, satisfactory evidence to the world of the national solvency, and so maintaining the public credit, and we see no reason to change our convic tions upon this subject. We should therefore be glad to see a very material abatement proposed in the taxation of the country. In looking for the direction in which this reduction should be made, we find in the preliminary report in the United States revenue commissioner valuable suggestions. This document advocates (to use its own words) " such a revision of the present internal revenue system as will look to an entire exemption of_ t h e manufacturing industry of the United States all direct taxation ; distilled and fermented liquors,,, and maintains the wisdom of the abolition tobacco, and possibly a few other articles • h, like the income speedy reduction of all those w h i c h, like The amount eexcepted," c eP te d, or tax, fall chiefly upon realisedo I millions a year ; and we believe, about seventy-five derived from the direct doubt can exist that this taxmay here presented no Other suggestions we tanwmanufactures is, we once safely abolished . as to modifications in the bein t a h t e o c n ondition of the public revenue . which we have offer in future articles may we have said enough on this occasion to de • fi an • I d lt t 1 CU y, a trate that there is no n presen t r evenue system of the countr y . we think mons least in t h e W ay of the immediate and 'ffi complete abrogation ofmanufactures. objection to A n d i f this b sot the tax can onti surely domes be c no t h e course we advocate.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the r ea ll y starving ?

TIMES.—A measure which has been for some time in contemplation is now coming to maturity in France. A Commission has been appointed to consider the modifications which it may be advisable to introduce into the military organisation of the Empire. This is well known to be a subject with which the Em peror's mind.has been busy of late ; more especially since the results of the recent campaign in Bohemia have brought into evidence the vast superiority of the Prussian over the Austrian military system. Some such inquiry as is now instituted was said to have been planned by the Emperor previous to his departure for Biarritz ; an the French journals at that time filled their columns with extracts from the writings of Prince Louis Napoleon, proving how early the attention of the present French Monarch was engaged in researches of that nature. All this is sufficient to explain the interest taken by the Em peror in this matter, and leaves little doubt that the Commission of Ministers, Marshals, and Generals, over which his Majesty has reserved to himself the presidency, is called upon to examine a scheme sug gested by the Emperor himself. The alleged object of the intended reform is to place the forces of the Empire in a condition to insure the defence of the country, and maintain the political influence of France. Possibly the measure was a wider and higher scope; for we do not believe that either for defensive or offensive purposes France could be better armed than she is at present ; and as to political in fluence, his recent expedition to Mexico and Rome ought greatly to have shaken the faith of Napoleon 111. in the efficiency of " big battalions." The ob ject we feel inclined to attribute to the Imperial scheme is such a reform as might indeed increase the real strength of the national armament, but would also better adapt the means to the end ; a scheme which would enable the State to keep up the largest possible army at the least possible cost. For this purpose hardly anything better can be suggested than an adaptation of the Prussian system. This system, as we well know, originated with the neces sity in which 60 years ago a Prussian War Minister was placed of limiting his standing army to 40,000 men, and yet having it in his power to take the field at a moment's notice with three times that number of combatants. The present French force numbers, when on the peace footing, 404,155 men and 86,368 horses, and can be raised on any warlike emergency to 757,798 men and 143,238 horses. By organising it upon something like a Prussian model, the army in time of peace might be reduced to 300,000, and yet muster 900,000 in the hour of need. A system modelled on similar principles may be made very simple. It should consist in training every man to be a soldier, but allowing him to be a citizen the moment his training is complete. Of course, it supposes in the State the right to the military service of every subject, or, in other words, it is based on the law of conscription—a law so universally estab lished throughout the European continent that the generation born within the century is now fully re signed to it. A man on the Continent belongs to his country,, while with us it is the country that be longs to the man ; with us the subject is at all times free to betake himself and his moveable wealth to any part of the world he pleases ; the State having no actual hold on anything besides his real estate. On the Continent the citizen is still adscriptus glebx up to a certain period of his life, according to the requirements of this very law of conscription. As the service is compulsory, it is evident that the citizen who does not choose the army as his profes sion should be kept in the ranks for as short a period as possible ; not one day longer, in fact, than enough to qualify him for active service. It is, we believe, calculated that six months' re gular instruction will fit a soldier for service in the Infantry, while in three years the best trooper or artilleryman may be thoroughly trained. To some such period should the compulsory service of the citizen be limited • and the men should afterwards be kept up to the degree of proficiency acquired by such an apprenticeship, both by weekly drill and by a few weeks' yearly muster in camp after the Swiss fashion. The whole male population would thus be organised into a Militia liable to be pressed into service during the period from the 20th to the 50th year, but divisible into categories according to age, and mustered up into battalions out of which picked corps of amateur riflemen and artillerymen could be drawn, on the plan of our own Volunteers. This national force, however, which, for mere defensive purposes, ought to suffice every nation, could and should also be looked upon as the nursery for the standing army in those countries in which such an institution is required. The standing army might to a great extent be recruited out of the Militia by voluntary enlistment, but were such a means to be found inadequate to the want, the men should be draughted by lot out of the Militia, taking, of course, the first draught among the young men of the first category, and leaving the rest for the reserves. Any man who had served his time in the standing army should, upon his dismissal, still fall back again into the ranks of the Militia, under the same liabilities to a recall under the standards. Such are the views, grounded on the strictest prin ciples of equality, that the Prussian system of Army, Landwehr, and Landsturm suggests to military men in Continental States. The system does not, of course, admit of indiscriminate application, and the Emperor Napoleon, who is supposed to entertain some designs of this description, must be aware of the difficulties with which too close an imitation of the Prussian model would have to contend in his dominions. The French law of conscription is binding on all citizens, bnt it admits of draught by lot and of exemption by substitutes. The absolute, j inexorable equality of the Prussian law would strike the French as unnecessarily harsh. The liability to service for nearly a lifetime would also clash with the nature and habits of the French people. The Frenchman is aware that as a soldier he owes a debt to his country. He presents himself to the Maire of his village as a conscript, draws his lot, and if he gets a low number, and has no money for a remplagant, he goes out and serves his time ; but, that being done, he looks upon himself as a free man, resumes his peaceful avocations, marries, and is safe from future molestation. To prolong the present period of service would be almost impracti cable in France. Still, the principle that only half or one-third of the army need be under arms, and the rest may be kept at home as a reserve, may be found easily compatible even with the present French period of service • all that is required being simply a reduction of the period to one-half or one-third of its present duration, and a dismissal under con dition of a possible recal for the remainder of the term. Instead of 100 conscripts, all bound to nine years' full service, for instance, let the draught be , of 300, with the obligation of only threeeyear t s o active service, and with six more years' liability be called upon. However firmly the Elnperrolrnce Napo leon may deem his power established in f th ir e , lie could hardly be bent on any reform of to the present national armament implying an d already terrific rate of expenditure. addition en the pros pects of the most splendid c.amoytahiegnv pride of the across the Rhine, and the hope of lowe . r . in vjnr _ y di tempt the victorious needle-gun, -woutd French willingly to increase the ti t s r f ibute of gold and y_ the cravings of blood by which they have to sa A larcrer army the their enormous War Budget. Emperor could not think o f mustering, but he may hope to find a more efficient means of insuring the defence of the territo r y and maintaining the political influence of France by an armed nation. It is by , an armed nation, in contradistinction to an army, that Prussia achieved those late successes by the high-sounding report of which the slumbers of some Frenchmen are still disturbed. In an aggressive war it seems to haVe struck the Emperor Napoleon that the heroic army even of France could scarcely be more than a match for the armed nation of Prussia. Let, therefore, France be, like Prussia, organised into an armed nation, and when that task is accomplished the occasions for and the incentives to aggressive wars will be found to diminish, together with the numbers of the standing armies. PosT.—Although the telegram from Vienna which we published yesterday left blanks to be filled up, the reading between its lines was plainly portentous. In this country the first thought which it inspired could only be one of thankfulness. The circum stance that an Englishman had probably saved the life of the Austrian Kaiser intensified the sympathy and the indignation which the incident excited. But it would be idle to attempt to conceal the fact that Austria is rocking under the shock of a politi cal earthquake. As far as the situation can be ap preciated, there are difficulties in the way of recon structing the system that was shattered at Sadowa which seem to be insurmountable. Apparently a gallant ship is settling fast. The events which have agitated Europe have unhinged the Austrian empire. Its frame is quivering, as it were, in the struggle for life— life on almost any conditions. The prin ciple of nationality has penetrated to its heart and paralysed its strong arm. Austria depended on her army,and that army, formidable as it was accounted, has been broken like a reed. But it is worse than vain to look back on the irrevocable past in such a conjuncture. The question now is, whether or not there be yet time for the Government of Vienna to turn over a new leaf-and shape its coarse to circum stances ' • and from that point of v i ew th e appoint ment of Baron von Beust becomes a matter of some moment. It is an act which may admit of explana tion, and its significance may be easily magnified ; but, if it be a mistake, the infatuation which it re veals is very much to be deplored. Francis Joseph cannot but be aware that in this emergency he has duties to perform which it is impossible to delegate to any minister, and, indeed, he has so far addressed himself to the task with a proper and dignified ap prehension of its import. But while the good feel ing govern as well a debts to be discharged and obligations to be ful filled • there is hard work to be done, and it is Austrian consideration worthy w kaiser i c s ah e l r l have commendation, must been sr a e n i gd displayedn. a Ir en Hungary and in Bohemia there are manifest that whatever can be done should be done quickly. The claims are urgent, exacting, and possibly extortionate ; but, be that as it may, they must be met. Unreasonable as the terms may ap pear to be, it only remains to accept them. Nothing can be gained, and much m a y b e lost, by delay. It is, in truth, a cause i n whi c h th e par ti es must plead personally, face to face, as Maria The resa pleaded her cause. Wh a t m i g ht h ave come to pass if Francis Joseph had ridd en t o th e f ront at Sadowa is irrelevant at present ; b u t if A us t r i a can be preserved, if Hungary and Bohe m i a can b e re conciled, the means to be employed to th a t en d are abundantly now, if ever, the obvious. The foundation of the Austrian edifice is lost. When Austria ceased to be a German Power 1 her weight in the European scale• was sensibly diminished, and consequently her independence and integrity are not considered as they formerly were. It was understood that she was competent to vin dicate her German rights, and inasmuch as she failed to do so her interests are appraised accord ingly. Austria may think that this is not a fair construction of public engagements, but the answer is, that she has herself omitted to observe those en gagements, and, therefore, that she is precluded from appealing to them. That, however, is in reality entirely beside the problem which has to be resolved, and in regard to which Austria can only trust to her own resources. In so far as foreign Powers may be concerned, the principle of nation ality, as interpreted by the Magyar and the Czech, can be contemplated with composure. If Poland was in a position to deal with Russia as Hungary is ! dealing with Austria, it would be precisely the same. It is only exceptionally that nationalities are supported as the Italians and the Germans in the Elbe Duchies were, and it must not be forgot ten that in the latter instance Austria co-operated with Prussia. There is no reason to suppose that the Hungaxians wish to sever their connection with the House of Hapsburg, but the misfortune is that other nationalities have to be conciliated. In fact, I the Treaty of Prague may be said to have pro vided for the disintegration of the Austrian Etn ctpiciirtelee,‘,ll,aaanrudidtitccoufoltilclaloiliv7iasey,da,esvthetralyiteuitliiiiiinlegriii\clvaohifisceltrlheesol:iohliu„silt(ioinriyai•anvoye,f wise divide the strength he possessed, and also that Prussia is more indebted to Italy than she may care , to own. Gerard Ralston's 111i:sion from Liberia to Europe. Mankind owes much to . the energy of the Anglo : Saxon race, but their virtues have been marred by some great crimes. Races have been blotted out to make way for the grasping intruder. Races have been subjugated to gratify his lust of greed ; but of all his crimes that of negro slavery is written blackest in the black list. For every sin re corded we have paid a heavy penalty, and for the deepest crime has been exacted the most fearful retribution. If an account could be drawn up showing the profits resulting from the employment of the African as the Anglo-Saxon's slave, and the cost at which his labour was ob tained, we believe that even in the sordid point of material gains the balance would show that both England and America were heavy losers by the iniquitous system. If we and o ur f ore f athers have p er petrated great crimes, we have a satisfaction not accorded to every nation, that philanthropists and regenerators have arisen from among us to redeem our transgressions. In us the negro has found his heaviest taskmaster, but in us also he has found his warmest and most enlightened friend. Probably no people have ever excited such wide spread sympathy and compassion among the friends of liberty as the negro race. With certain per sons, both in Great Britain and in the United States, the wrongs of the black man have become so ab sorbing as almost to have grown into a mono mania. Every effort of their lives has been directed to obliterate the blot with which our forefathers have stained this page of our his tory. To that number belongs Mr. GERARD RALSTON, Consul-General for Liberia, whose diplomatic mission to Europe is in reality a a mission of philanthropy. " Before this distin guished Philadelphian had a hair on his face he had enlisted in the negro's cause. Now his hairs' are grey, but his cause is the same and his energy un abated. He may be said to be the father of the Liberian Republic—the " land of the free ;" and his name is associated in the minds of the whole people, who have confided to him their interests in Europe, with all that is noble, generous, and good.

Liberia is in every re spect suited to the African race. Though deadly to the white,- the climate to him is healthy and plea sant. The soil is fertile and adapted for those pro ducts the negroes have been accustomed to raise. The rivers give, him ample water carriage, and the sea-board, well situated for a trade with Europe, offers a cheap means of transport to the chief marts of the world. There are spirits in the United States, though enshrined under black skins, that rebel against the social de gradation to which they are there subjected, and pine for the equal rights, not alone recognised by law, but recognised in truth by their fellow-man.
