TURIN, Mdial 14! - ; Signor Sella made his fianancial statement to-day, , which has been awaited with so much impatence for several weeks. The first part of his speech was devoted to explaining the causes of the errors hitherto perceptible in the various estimates laid before Parliament. The Italian Budget is the result of seven different budgets, each drawn up i n a different way, and it is not therefore surprising that a period of five years has been requisite to reduce such a chaotic mass to order. Signor Sella's intention was clearly to defend Minghetti against the passionate attacks made upon him for some time past. Although the criticisms upon that statesman's financial policy are not altogether devoid of foundation, it is certain that they have been much aggravated by party spirit. By defending his predecessor Signor Sella not only acted generously, but gave proof of some skill. A detailed examination of the figures upon which Signor Sella bases his calculations must be reserved for a future opportunity. Two items, however, may be noted. The accumulated deficit at the end of 1865 will amount to 625 millions of francs, and will in 1866 be reduced to at most 100 millions. The Minister stated that next session he should propose measures which would re-establish equili brium. A loan of 425 millions is proposed for the pay of the army ; this sum, with the produce of the sale of the railways, will put the Treasury in funds until the end of 1866. The measures proposed to increase the revenue are the augmentation of the tax upon move able property. This impost has been very productive ; the declaration of the tax payers show a net re venue upon this class of property of about one milliard 200 Millions of francs. By raising the tax to S per cent., the produce will be 66 millions. The Ministry also proposes the abolition of free ports, the principal of which are Ancona and Leg horn, and asks for the revision of the law of re gistration. It is thought that by these measures large sums will accrue to the Treasury. Signor Sella concluded his statement by withdrawing th e bill upon church property, asking only that con vents should be suppressed, and their possessions turned into money. The Ministerial proposals have been made a Cabi net question. It is most probable the Chamber will accept them en bloc, with perhaps a few modi fications of detail. This will be the last act of the session. _ k t ` \ TAII.AINT'S TTJ WHISKY v. COGNAC T,ll BRANDY.

They ran thus round the top turn, where both Creole and The Rogue headed Ironsides, who immediately afterwards hung:oursignals of distress. Church Militant still went on third, Sly Fox and Meanwood drawing up, and on entering the Park the second time the five took close order and went out of sight. On reappearing Sly Fox, The Rogue, and Church Militant looked as if they had the race in hand, and so it was, after the second fence from home was cleared, Church Militant gave way, and the issue was left with the other two, but The Rogue failed to over haul the Irish horse, who won after a close and exciting finish by a neck ; Church Militant was third, beaten three lengths ; and Meanwood a bad fourth.

OPERA DI CAMERA. every Tuesday and Thursday Morning, and Saturday at 8. Under the heading " English Free Trade, the Neu Freie Presse publishes the following opinions : An International Anglo-Austrian commission of inquiry is to meet shortly in this capital to study the ground for a commercial treaty between Austria and England. This will certainly be a very useful task, and if it does not occasion too much expense need give rise to no objection even should it remain utterly without result, which we do not yet know may be the case. We must await further details before we are able to judge of the plan upon which the scheme is based. But if our manufacturers already look forward to this commission with un easiness, they are very wrong. There is not much cause for alarm, for it is to be hoped the English will not expect us to become more zealous free traders than they are themselves. It is, namely, one of the irremovable false impressions to believe that England's free trade system is so dangerous. The real truth is, on the contrary, that England still clings to the system of protective duties as the most serviceable to her ; it has not been abolished, only moderated, yet in such a manner that Eng lish labour is still protected. Three species of imports are noticeable in the English tariff with regard to protective duties—First, raw goods only produced abroad, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, silk, &c. ; secondly, raw goods of kinds native to England, and produced there more cheaply than anywhere abroad, such as coals, iron, &c. ; thirdly, raw goods and manufactures produced in England as well as abroad. Protective duties are inapplic able to the first category, for there are no native products to protect. The Customs' duties are purely taxes upon consumption, and belong to the excise, so that every increase or decrease constitutes ' NEW WORK BY EDMUND YATES.

But it cannot be said that high duties upon coffee and This question is one of considerable importance both to the Corporation and to the numerous body of gentlemen acting as brokers in the city of London. The Corporation receives a very considerable amount annually for licences and fees from every gentleman who acts in the capacity of a broker, and they also claim the right of control over them, and the power of dismissal for any act of miscon duct. In the last session of Parliament, however, a bill was introduced having for its object to destroy entirely the rights of the Corporation, and to make the office of a broker open to every one who might think proper to exercise it without the payment of any fees whatever, and, at the same time, also abo lishing the right of supervision and control that is now exercised by the Corporation of London. This bill was thrown out by the House of Lords ; but another bill of precisely the same character having been introduced in the present 4 session, at a recent meeting of the Court of Common Council the mat ter was referred to the Law, Parliamentary, and City Courts Committee for them to consider the subject and report what steps, in their opinion, should be taken to oppose the measure. Mr. PARKER, the chairman of the Law, Parlia mentary, and City Courts Committee, who caught up the report intimated his opinion that it w as no t advisable that the di scuss ion — should take place in public, and strangers were consequently ordered to withdraw.

The second category comes still less into consideration, for the freedom from duty of coals, iron, &c., is neither free trade nor generosity. No body upon the Continent will send coals to New castle, or pig iron to Scotland. High duties w ill therefore not prevent imports, and their removal will not bring about imports. Protective duties first come under consideration in the third category; and here it cannot be denied that, although much has been done to reduce them, their abolition is still distant. Our cousins across the water have only thoroughly removed protective duties from raw goods and their initiatory stages, but not from the more advanced conditions in which most work is contained ; these are still burdened with duties high enough to prevent import, or to reduce it to a mini mum. 50 to 80 per cent, is not requisite to consti tute a protective duty, but 10, and even 5, per cent. fully suffice for articles of daily sale in England, and especially in London, so that a small profit may be rendered a great one by frequent repetition. Thus, for instancA, the , nounonest, therefore most used, kinds of leather goods, shoes, gloves, &c., are burdened with about 10 per cent., while skins and leather, even if rolled and varnished, enter free, so that the tariff is really a protective duty for the shoe maker. The same obtains with cotton and me tallic goods, arms, silk goods, laces, woollens, &c., in which England shuts herself up against foreign labour, allows the raw material to enter free, while it burdens ready-made goods, so that their tariff rates cannot be taken as equivalents for duties upon the raw material. They exclusively affect labour, and are protective duties in favour of native manu facture retained and regulated at the time the pro tective duties upon corn, wool, flax, &c., favouring the landowner were abolished. It may be objected that the reduction of the protective duties upon ready-made goods from 50 and 80 per cent. to 5 and 10 per cent. has been an enormous step in advance, as imports have become possible which the Custom house lists prove did not formerly take place. But therein are two self delusions. First, the reduction which looks so large upon paper is, in reality, with out effect if 5 to 10 per cent. suffices to keep out imports ; the abolition of the intervening 45 to 70 per cent. in that case becomes an empty form. Many kinds of goods are certainly imported, not withstanding the 10 per cent., but mostly of the better sorts; the great mass of ordinary kinds which mainly come into consumption, and the cheapness of which would be useful to the great mass of the people, remains excluded by many duties imposed according to weight and measure, without regard to value and equality. The second delusion lies in the fact that only the official figures of the imports prior and subsequently to Customs' reform can be compared, as no data exist of the former large amount of smuggling. 'When articles were entirely prohibited or burdened with 50 to 80 per cent. duties these fetched a high price in England ; smuggling was highly remunerative, and flourished in all quarters, the more so the higher cunning and force were rewarded. Whoever entered the country smuggled, every man on board a vessel down to the cabin boy or ship's dog, every pilot or fisherman, every traveller, and notably the fair sex, with their numerous opportunities and pretexts for so doing—all combined to carry on a roving free trade, the figures of which never come into the im port lists. When high prices in England disappeared with high duties the premium no longer paid for the danger ; the imports appeared in the lists, and their sum large, although they in reality may be much smaller than before. It is, of course, impossible to prove this by figures ; all that is intended is to show that the import lists do not prove as much in favour of Customs' reform as is commonly ascribed to them in reference to the protective duties. Yet in England, the great cotton factory, it is even now attempted to prevent the import of cotton gloves, stockings, and night-caps; in England, which supplies the whole world with machinery, the imports of foreign ma chinery is guarded against. Foreign boots and foreign crockery, continental glass bottles, and foreign linen, foreign candles, foreign carpets, foreign musical instruments, foreign lace, and even perfumed soap, John Bull declines to receive from abroad.

Enormous as this salary must seem, it is in reality not too much in the present day, when such sums are betted on races of all sorts and descriptions ; for the recipient of it has such indisputable talent and integrity that by one single race he will enable Lord Stamford to get him for nothing for the remainder of the season. Therefore, with such a stud as Lord Stamford possesses, the engagement is in every respect a most judicious one, and certain to bear fruit in good time. The Marquis of Hastings, it is understood, offered him five hundred per annum for the first call, but Grimshaw would not listen to the proposal for an instant; and even a bid of £l,OOO to ride for him in the Chester Cup was rejected, the reply being that he would not bind himself to anybody, and that no one would know until the day before what he would ride.

The Oxford crew have been very regular in their train ing since our last notice, their style being much improved, and more satisfactory to their friends and admirers. Some parties assert that they are not so well up in form as they ought to be, and doubt.the lasting qualities of some of the crow, but still the odds are freely laid on them. Mr. Hen ley, who was compelled to leave Oxford in consequence of the serious illness of anear relation (who is nowmuchbetter) has resumed his seat as No. 3 in the boat, which is propelled at the rate of 34 strokes per minute. The crew this after noon manned their new boat, rowing as far as Harvey's Barge and back, and were much pleased with it. The craft is a splendid specimen of Salter's style of boat -building with cedar ; the length is 56 feet 2 inches. Mr. Brickwood, of the London Rowing Club, has paid Oxford a visit, and seems pleased with their sweeping style, which he, with many other good judges, thinks is far preferable to the short, quick stroke of the Cantabs, especially on the Thames water. We understand Harvey, the Oxford waterman, and others, have engaged steamers, as usual, to accompany the race. THE REPRESENTATION OF NORTH DEVON.—The lamented death of Mr. Buller, M.P. for the northern division of Devonshire, has caused some excitement in i poli tical circles. The heads of the Conserv ative party immedi ately met, and it is authoritatively announced that they have resolved to bring forward Sir G. Stucley Stucley, of Hartland Abbey, who once made an ineffectual attempt to represent Exeter in the Conservative interest, and who was member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1855. The Liberals have not yet determined upon a candidate, and it is not probable that they will do so until after the funeral of Mr. Buller, which will take place next Tuesday. The names of Col. Acland and the Hon. Dudley Fortescue have been men tioned as probable candidates in the Liberal interest, but we give this as mere rumour. It may be well to state that at the last contested election for North Devon the Liberal candidate, the late Mr. Buller, had a majority over Sir S. is Devon) not much c o h f 1 Northcote of 1,547 votes, and over the Hon.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE CEYLON RAILWAY.-- A frightful accident has occurred on the railway line between Colombo and Ragamme. It appears that a train of six trucks started from Colombo at about half-past 5 on Saturday evening, carrying four of the engineers (Manning, Harding, Hodges, and Ingram), an overseer named De Neys, and 128 coolies, mostly Cingalese. Ingrain resided in a small house near Gonigitotte, about seven miles from Colombo, and had written in the morning to a native clerk at Ragamme to bring up some money to Gonegitotto for the purpose of paying the coolies. The clerk cams from Ragamme in a trolly or low truck, which was pushed along the line by coolies. This trolly was left about 800 or 400 theyardson f other side train. deof The train came lngram'shouse,wh up abouteretheclerk was waiting a quarter to 6 (the engine being at the back of the train), t u: h t s n t h o e . The land on either side of the line consisted of muddy c ta k k t e paehesed an trolly, on, d and in a was sent few :min off fi bu rs t t br ru s c o k me s mis tru * fields ; and with the exception of Harding, Manning, Hodges, and De Nov, and 80 or 40 of the coolies, all the rest of them, including the engineer (Ingram) were killed. Most of the trucks were upset into the field, entombing th e poor men who were in them. Harding was on the fourth truck, and saved himself by literally jumping from truck to truck, till he was pitched out in the mud out of the reach of the upsetting trucks. The sight presented by the broken trucks and dead bodies was fearful. At the arrival of the general's party the natives were still busy rescuing the bodies from under the trucks, many of them in a frightfully mangled state. Hundreds of women, the wives, sisters, and mothers of the dead and wounded coolies, had surrounded the spot, and were bewailing their misfortune in a piteous manner. The. clerk who had so indiscreetly and almost criminally left the trolly on the line had absconded. A war rant has been issued against the clerk on a charge of man slaughter. The jury returned the following verdict at the close of the inquest :—" That the deceased persons came to their death by the upsetting of the train, caused by itsrun ning against a trolly used without authority, and negli gently left by the clerk Streeramaloo Naido on the railway line. The jury beg to recommend that the use of trollies on the completed lino be discontinued, except under more stringent rules, and that telegraphic communication bo opened between stations where the train has begun to run." —Prom the Singapore Free Press of Feb. 2. INDlA.—Private , telegrams from Calcutta to the Bth and Bombay to the 7th and 9th have come to hand. They acknowledge advices from England to the 4th. At Calcutta the rate of interest was 12 per cent. ; cotton con siderably lower. At Bombay, on the 7th, cotton was quoted 350; the telegram of the 9th states that a panic had occurred in the bazaar, but that imports were firm ; rate of interest 14 per cent.
