But we will make a still further deduction of 5 per cent. to cover the number of those - who have left the country. This number, amounting to 36,462, is much too large, but it will serve to compensate for deficiencies that may exist in other estimates of probable deductions. We find then at last that we have now a force of 692,795 fighting men. If of these one out of every three be detailed for such purposes as the President. may deem necessary, admitting that the power of detail remain in his hands, .our army in the field should consist of 461,1364 men at least, or a larger force, we candidly believe, than the enemy has ever brought against us at any one time.

Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Resources of the Confederacy. FACTAGE PARISIEN (LIMITED). (Front the Richmond Tilig of Dec. 22) The idea has been expressed abroad, and studi ously enforced at the North; that the resources of the Confederate States as to arms-bearing men are on the point of exhaustion. Many well-meaning people among ourselves have yielded to the delusion, not less from a certain natural timorousness than because of the pertinacity with which the Yankees have insisted on an assertion so replete with encour ageinent and consolation. There can be no doubt that a belief of this kind has, had a powerful influ ence in reconciling the Yankees to a continuance of the war; and just as little doubt that a fear of the same kind, not perhaps-strengthened into a belief, has produced whatever of despondency and distrust exists among our own people. And yet no proposi tion is more erroneous than that the Confederacy is exhausted, or even nearly exhausted, of its arms bearing population. On the contrary, we have around us in profuse abundance the material of which armies are composed, in an abundance quite sufficient to enable is not only to maintain our armies at their present standard of effectiveness, but to put into the field a force surpassing any that has yet been under arms on either side. To prove this fact we have only to ref& to the statistics of the' United States census, and compare its data with an estimate of actual losses and diminution of resources evidently sufficient to cover all decrease in our arms bearing men. The task is one of some labour ; but its results are so satisfactory as to compensate amply for all the trouble bestowed on it. Without further preface we proceed .to our demonstrations. The following table shows the whole population of the Confederate States, excluding Missouri and Ken tucky, as determined by the United States census of 1860 : • "Munich, Dec. 18, 1861. " Your Excellency —The Prussian Ambassador, Prince Reuss, left with me yesterday the copy of a despatch for warded to him by the Minister Herr von Bismark upon the 13th inst., referring to the resolution passed by the Diet upon the sth of that month upon the cessation of Federal execution in Holstein and Lauenburg. While I transmit to your Excellency annexed a copy of this despatch I feel myself called upon to offer the following remarks. An-extraordinary general meeting of this company was hold yesterday at the London Tavern for the purpose of receiving a report on the present position and future pro spects of the company as now carried on under the direc tion of Mr. Ls Brun, -the general manager ; Sir J.

The CFrArnmAN said that this was probably the most im portant meeting which hadyet been held, because the Lord Chancellor had said that upon their votes that day would depend the winding up or not of the undertaking. The directors did not wish to influence the meeting one way or the other, only affording such information as might assist the shareholders in coming to a proper and unbiassed de cision. PreViously to their last meeting great difference of opinion existed between the French directors and their English colleagues as to the mode of conducting the busi ness of the compaay. The English Board thought that it should be work e d on a principle similar in every respect _to the large. carryi ng oompany of "Me - ssrs. Pickford. It was a very difficult matter for the English Board to control and reduce the expenditure of a French Board, who advanced very cogent reasons, saying that as French men they understood the_wan t ts of.eir country:ll4n better than Englishmen cour4; ftteT , were suffered to go on up to a certa i n point, at which the English directors insisted upon appointing an English manager, in the person of Mr. Le Brun, who had been for a long time ono of the chief Officers in the agency of Messrs. Pickford. To that appointment the French directors demurred, and sent in their resigna tion, which was accepted, and an English committee was appointed in place of the French board. Proposals had been made for the surrender of the succession, that it might be worked by Frenchmen, but he felt that he could not listen to any proposal which did not provide for the interests of English shareholders. Those views not being the views of Mr. Jarry, on the occasion of the last call being made he up of the com ifi3alendy.thelibitilhaftobrilt they would lose the whole of the capital embarked in the l he w m ere m ca pu r is ri o 3 t w he in r di Zt would be that undertaking, Since June last, when Mr. Le Brun assumed the management, he had been engaged in curtailing ex penses, and the result was that their traffic was increasing while their expenses were being lowered. The contracts which the French manager had entered into were so un profitable that in one case Mr. Le Brun had to pay a con siderable sum to get rid of the remaining half of the con tract. There was no opposition in Paris, and if they were successful in obtaining the support of the French public.

It is certainly but natural, and has always been the case, that when a resolution of the Diet, is impending, individual Federal Governments have endeavoured to gain over others 16 their opinions. But, unless 1 am mistaken; it has not been hitherto usual to enter upon a criticism of divergent votes after the resolution has been passed, and to engage in correspondence upon the subject outside tae Federal Diet. sit any rate, I find myself unable tc o sett "pre'seut, in order to avoid even the appearance of the King's Govern ment recognizing the right of any other Federal Govern ment to call it to account for its votes. In face of this ob jection the idea that such subsequent discussion might lead to a certainly desirable agreement of opinions can have no weight, and the less so as experience shows that retrospec tive polemics hardly ever bring about an understanding. " In so far, on the other hand, as the Prussian Government wishes to call attention to dangers which threaten the con tinuance of the Federation, we are perfectly willing to follow it upon this field of examination, for we sincerely desire the preservation of this bond of the entire German nation, and recognize the duty of all Federal Governments to co-operate for the removal and guarding against dangers which might be prepared for the preservation of the Diet. "From this point of view we have very carefully consi dered the despatch of the Prussian Minister of State, and with him, have arrived at the conviction that the continued existence of the Confederation was certainly seriously threatened upon the occasion of that question which was decided by the Federal resolution of the sth December last. But we are unfortunately unable to admit the same identity of view as to the ground and origin of that danger. " The danger of a break-up of the Confederation did not lie in the views of the minority upon the 7th of December in the preceding year, and the sth of December last, as to the right of the Confederation to occupy the Duchies, but in the views of the Prussian Government as to its right to take the law into its own hands. _ A Mx -roomed Parsonage An.

The right-hand column shows the number that have arrived of age since 1860 : there would be no doubt of the ultimate success of the un dertaking. If they went on for one year under Mr. Le Brun's management the receipts would cover the expendi ture, which result would place the company upon a sound footing. Assuming that they wound up, a sum of at least 40,0001. would be required, as compensations would have to be paid for determining leases and relinquishing con tracts. To continue operations the sum required would be, basing calculations upon the present receipts and expendi ture, even supposing the traffic did not increase, about 13,0001., and an additional sum of 10,0001. to clear off exist ' ing liabilities.

It was designed to e in the little ones whose cheviot r and circumstances disqualify the for the orphan Asylums, and whose tendar age precludes their admission to the R. fages. Such are those Who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. .Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left' to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose Parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and Umel lead them to a life of crime and misery. „ The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi uent from the police statis• :es, which show that in London alone, in one year, nofewer than 311 boys under 1 0 years of __aße, have been - a pp r eh en d e d f or var i ous o ff ences , 79 o f w h om ~w,,e're convicted and punished, w hil e th e b u lk , 232 were dia tuareed by the magistrates w ith a re b u k e , as being too ° nog to Ongih. though not too young to learn the beginnings ,of crime. the other hand. there are numbers who, but for thy timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self:nip anee and self-help,. be permanent burdens to the State orhe Horne for Little Boys has, therefore,. been established prevue the little ones, to save them„from the prison on the e hand, a n d the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour 10 Make them useful members of society. , T he'daiiy routine of the.

Deducting from these numbers the natural average mortality of four-years-that is to say, 200,000 men —and we have a figure equivalent to the number of fighting men now, remamiiir in the Confederacy, leaving out of account the mortality attributable to the war. The account thus far stands thus • Number between 17 and 50 in 1864 Arrivcd at 17 since 1860 .. r,655 T,,tal Deduct natural mortally 1,63,3.6 200,000 Aggregate reminder • 1,431,35 a To find out the number remaining within the actual limits of the Confederacy and under the control of our laws, we must make considerable deductions from these figures. Our estimate of deductions stands as follows : Arkansas, one-half Louisiana, one-half Tennessee, two-thirds Virginia, one-halt ,Between Arrived at 17 17 and 60. since. • .. 39,500 .. 10,266 .. 43.750 .. 11,316 65,033 .. 16,890 • .. 124,050 .. 29,680 272,313 .. 68,182 68,182 Total ; 340,315 Such additions as may be made to the above by under-estimates for the Stateo named and by omis sions for, others will be more than counterbalanced by recruits from Kentucky, Maryland,a,nd Missouri, and refugees from other portions of our territory. We come now to another necessary computation, for which facilities ought to exist, but for which, unfortunately, we do not posess the requisite data. We mean the number of m en,killed in battle, or who have died of disease, or who have been permanently disabled by the casualties of war. It is useless to attempt even an approximation to absolute precision in an estimate of this kind. We can only assume a number which, in all reasonable probability, must include the true number. If we assume, for in stance, that the casualties in General Lee's army for this campaign have amounted to 85,000, we shall exceed what we know to be the truth. If we suppose, of this number, 5,000 to have been killed and 5,000 to haie been permanently disabled by wounds, we have, for this army , a reduction of 10,000. If we assume an eq ual number for th e Army of Tennessee, and still another equal number for the other armies of the Confederacy, we shall have 30,000 as the figure within which must be included the number of killed and permanently dis abled by wounds. Admitting extraordinary dis eases—that is to say, diseases attributable entirely to the military service, and, therefore, not to be estimated in the ordinary mortality—to exceed the above expressive by 50 per cent., and we have 45,000 as reduction from this cause. Thus expr numberee of the we have a total reduction during the yea i r of 75,000 men. But this year has been much more fertile in casualties than either of the former years of war. In the first year the losses in battle were almost nothing. In the second and third years they were, perhaps, nearly as large as in this one.. Let us, ' therefore, adopt the following estimate of the losses incnrred since the beginning of the war 1861 .. •. 1862 •. •• 1E63 .. 1864 30,000 60,000 60,00) 75,000 Total actual lo a .• 22vvo From these premises we construct the following table : Number between 17 and 50 in 1869 Arrived at 17 since 1860 .. 1,299,730 .. 331,650 Total .. •• 1.611,163 Deduct for ordinary mortality .. .. 200,000 For population within enemy's lines .. 340,515 For losees in battle and by unusual diseases 225,00) Remainder .. 805,81 1 Deduct 10 per cent. for exemptions for dig • ability and other causes Prisoners in the enemy's hands 86,584 E 0,01.0 Subject to military duty .. 729,257 Thus it will be seen that, making all allowances for death from ordinary and extraordinary causes, and for the diminution of the area of our population, there must be at this momtnt within the Confederacy and subject to the control of our laws more than seven hun dred thousand arms-bearing men. We have in our estimate made no allowance for those who annually pass beyOnd the age of 50, because their number is mall, and moreover they axe ea capable three survivors of the Burnside's crew were rescued. The ten others composing her crew were drowned, and the three survivors experienced great hardships while on the wreck. The City of Dublin arrived at. New York on the 28th ult., and by that means we have the following account of the disaster from the official report of Captain Eynon :—Dec. 17, lat. 49.41, long. 31.14, fell in with a wreck, which on approaching the steamer's wheels were stopped, and one of the ship's lifeboats manned and lowered irn_ mediately, and in charge of :the second officer, Mr. Peter Fletcher, who in the most daring manner, in the face of a high sea, succeeded in rescuing from the wreck three survivors, namely, George Smith, steward, of Liverpool; Gilbert Duncan, a seaman, of Shetland ; and John Johnston, a seaman, of Gottenburg, Norway. The remaining ten, whose names we have not learned, had perished. Th e wreck was the British bark Burnside, of Greenock, and when first seen had her fore lower mast stand ing and part of the rigging ; also the lower mizen mast. The extreme fore and aft part of her seemed to be occasionally above water, but the whole main deck was immersed and the sea making a clean breach over her. Upon approaching her the three men were seen standing by the rudderpost, and occasionally immersed in the water ; their condition was most deplorable, having scarcely any clothing about •them except some pieces of old sail tied with bits of spun yarn ; their fish and particularly their arms, feet, and legs, were swollen and of a putrid appearance, in 'some places broken out in boils ; and they were •so weak and exhausted that it was only with great exertion and the excite ment of their being rescued that enabled .them to, stand. Having got on board the steamer in safety they were kindly cared for by Dr. Beach, and on their arrival at this port were convalescent and able to walk about. From the statement of these men it appears they left New York for Greenock, laden with oak timber, with a crew of 13, all told, on the Bth November. They had fine weather up to the morning of the 7th December, when it blew a strong gale from the south-west, with a high sea, which washed away the galley and deckhouse forward, where the crew were quartered ; they also lost one of the two boats and the bulwarks, thus being left without the means of cooking food and without shelter. The bark was then hove to, under close reefed maintopsail, and all hands were kept con stantly at the pumps, where they were lashed. She had at this time 7ft. water in the hold, which kept gaining on the pumps till 5 p.m. on the 11th, when the gale seemed to abate, when the foretopsail and foresail were set and the bark put before the wind, when she fell over on her beam ends, bursting the hatches and main deck, carrying away the remain- ing boat, and the deck cabin with all the stores, and , as every one was on deck at the time every one was washed overboard. Six managed to get on board again, the remaining seven were seen no more. The captain got into the main rigging with his head just above water, the second mate got into the fore rig, ging, and the three survivors, with a boy, were enabled to get into the mizen rigging, the ship re maining on her beam ends, with her masts and loose sails in the water, for about an hour and a half, when the foretopmast, mainmast, and mizentopmast gave way, carrying the captain with them. She thus became relieved, and righted her decks amidships under water, and the two ends about 2ft. above the sea,which went clean over her the whole time. When daylight appeared on the 12th, the second mate was seen lashed in the fore rigging, and apparently dead, and not being able to get near him, he remained there until Wednesday, the 14th, with his head down and his feet up ; eventually the sea washed him to pieces, a part of his body remaining in the rigging when the others were rescued. The boy, who got into the mizen rigging with the sur vivors, perished from cold.and,fatigue on _the morn ing of the 12th, and was washed away from them soon after they observed he was dead. Thesurvivors, soon after the vessel righted, gained the monkey poop, a small space aft, about 4ft. by 10ft., and raised above the main deck about 2ft., upon which for merly stood the wheel. Here they lashed themselves to the rudderpost, but the sea, which was constantly breaking over them for six days and nights, would occasionally carry one of them adrift, who, with the assistance of his fellow-sufferers, would regain his position. It was from here the boy.was Washed away when dead, and whence they were rescued by the men from the City of Dublin. For the six days they were on the wreck they were without food, -except a few pieces of biscuits which floated near them, which were saturated with salt water. Fresh water they had not a drop of, and were without clothing except the wet pieces of canvas which the man Johnston ' managed at great risk to cut from the mizen-mast, where it hung the first day.—Liverpool Courier. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Tioniceopathio practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homocopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or eo unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Uomecopathic Chemist, was induced in the ye tr.18.33.t0 turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." &gain , " 11 _ 8 4, a _ nutritive, cocoa stands very much hi g her than either co.o or tea."

Even with the best desire possible we are therefore unable to see, in the determination of the Prussian Government to await the resolution of the Federal Diet, anything further than the simple fulfilment of the first and most indispensable Federal duty, equally as in the opposite case we should have been compelled to recognise an open breach of the Confederation in, any active proceedings against the Saxon Government. " The question of occupation is in other respects now settled ; but the Prussian Minister of State at the same time considers it not superfluous to leave us no doubt as to the determination of the Prussian Government, in face of every wrongly-passed resolution of the Diet, to make full use of the liberty of action for the preservation of its rights accruing to it from the violation of treaties. We are there fore almoit forced to 'believe that the real object of Herr vun Bismark's despatch is to deter the King's Government front every further vote in the Federal Assembly to which - tire Prussian Government doeg not acknowledge its right. Should this be so, we must equally leave no doubt to the Prussian Government that it is our firm determination, as hitherto so also in future, to base our votes solely on our own convictions, and only to permit the fundamental laws and resolutions of the Federal Assembly to decide upon its competence, and not the will of an individual Government. • We attach value to the continuance of the Confedera- tion, not indeed because it affords us greater advantages or security than any other members of the Diet, but, because, as we have already stated, we consider it a duty to uphold the political bond of the entire German nation. But it is not our intention to allow the character of the Confedera- tion, as an association of States having equal rights, to be shackled in such a manner that a single member should be able to prescribe the measure of its action. " I request your Excellency to communicate this despatch to the Minister of State at the Court to which you are ac credited, and to leave with him a copy of the same ; and I embrace this opportunity to renew the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " VON DER PFORDTEN. "To his Excellency Ambassador Count Montgelas, at Berlin." HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN SALFORD.--John Smith, a well-Ithown thief living in Portland-street, was charged at the Salford Town Hall, on Saturday, with assaulting Samuel Bradbury, Commercial Inn, Stockport, and stealing from his person a £5 note and watch. On Thursday, about noon, the prosecutor was in the Sun Inn, Gartside-street, and happened to offer the note for change, which could not be had. He replaced the note in his pocket-book, and in a few minutes left the vaults. He was followed by the prisoner and two other men, who dogged him until he reached Gore-street, New Bailey-street. He was near the Cotton Tree Inn, when the prisoner and another man came up to him. Each took hold of one of the prosecutor's hands, and the prisoner inquired how he was. The prosecutor had no sooner replied that he was not very well than the prisoner took the book containing the note out of the pro secutor's pocket, while the second man snatched his watch with the guard, struck him, and put his hand over his mouth to prevent an alarm. The prosecutor seized the prisoner, who, after struggling about a minute, made his escape with the other man. Blood flowed freely from the prosecutor's_ mouth and nose, from the effect of the blow he had re ceived. Sergeantllick, of the Salford detective police ap prehended the prisoner on Friday morning.—He denied the charges, and was committed for trial at the assizes. EGYPTIAN BEES.—In Lower Egypt, where the blowing of flowers is considerably later than in the upper districts, the practice of transporting beehives is much followed. The hives are collected from different villages along the banks, each being marked and numbered by the proprietors to prevent future mistakes. They are then arranged in pyramidical piles upon the boats prepared to receive them, which,. floating gradually down the river, and stopping at certain stages of their passage, remain there a longer or shorter time, according to the produce afforded by the surrounding country. In this manner the bee-boats sail for three months. The bees having culled the honey of the orange flowers in the Said, and of the Arabian jessa mine and other flowers in the more northern parts, are brought lfck to the places from which they had been car,- ried. Tins procures for the Egyptians delicious honey and abundance of beeswax. The proprietors, in return, pay the boatman a recompense proportioned to the number of hives which have been thus carried about from one ex tremity of Egypt to the other. The celebrated traveller Niebuhr saw upon the Nile between Cairo - and Damietta a convoy of 4,000 hives in their transit from Upper Egypt to the coast of the Delta.

The ballot was put off to the very last moment.—Morttrea/ Gazette. Seizure of the Alexandra The Nassau Guardian of the 14th. of December contains the following paragraph : " The steamer Mary (late the Alexandra) was formally seized yesterday by the Receiver-General, John D'A. Dumaresq, Esq., under instructions from the Government, for an alleged infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act. A detachment of the Ist West India Regiment is stationed on board." The Nassau correspondent of the New York Herald writes on the 19th ult., communicating the same intelligence. He states : "The new Governor of the Bahamas arrived at Nassau, which is the capital of the Bahamas, on Friday, the 9th inst., in the steamship Corsica, from New York. He was received by the authorities and military, who, with the ex ceptionof the of a officers, s;are lieis a very affable, coloured,wit a ll a a b l l l e, duehoeur andsalvoes courteous, and gentlemanly man, without any of that hauteur, re serve, and bluffness which so often characterise men in office. Ho bids fair to become very popular. Among the first :of his official acts was the taking possession of the steamship Alexandra, in the name of tho British Govern ment, and putting her in charge of the military authorities of the place. The Alexandra, your readers will recollect, was built in England and charged by the United States Government to be intended as a war vesseL The matter was subjected to a protracted litigation, when she was put. under bonds. She came to Nassau, and has now been taken charge of by the anthorities of the place." A THRILLING INCIDENT AT SEA.—The corre spondent of the New York Times, " Off Charleston," gives the following account of the rescue of the sole sur vivor of the crew of the schooner R. B. Howlett, of Phila delphia :—" Just as darkness wss closing around us, pilot Hardie, of the Hancox, discovered off to seaward a larger fragment of the wreck than any we had yet seen, and made the suggestion that we should run down and as certain if it supported a human being. Capt. Post acceded, and we had scarcely changed our course when a thrill of joy passed through all on board at the sight of a poor crea ture running frantically around his narrow raft like an im prisoned animal in a cage, and waving his hands imploringly. Ever and again the man would be hidden from our view, as a mighty wave, with curling crest, curled over his frail support. The Hancox's boat was lowered and gallantly manned by volunteers from among the crew, who with some difficulty laid their boat alongside the raft, not only getting the living man on Ward, but, in obedience to their humane impulse, bringing off the ghastly corpse that lay bound to the wreck beside him. The boat returned int safety to the Hancox, and after the rescued DIAZ had warns the the chills out of his bones by the aid of hot coffee andowaarve clothes, he told the following :—Thesto o r o ' d and said e that he was John R.

Dean, the mate, was on a piece of the poop deck, and Cruse, drifting near him, succeeded in getting upon it, thus obtaining better support than the deck plank which he had seized when the vessel went to pieces. Upon this small piece of the deck he and his companion were carried out to sea, passing through the breakers off Stone Inlet, where they were several times washed off. Dean had been severely bruised ou the head by a plank When he was thrown into the water, and only survived the injury and his desperate circumstances until half-past 10 o'clock on Friday night. For hours before his death he was senseless and helpless, and Cruse's strength was nearly exhausted in his attempt to hold him on the raft. After the decease of his companion, Cruse divested him of his clothing to add to his own comfort, and lashed the corpse to the wreck, having already contemplated the horrible necessity of feeding upon it if another day passed without relief coming to him. When we rescued Cruse he had been thirty - three hours without food _ or drink." )vt Lr- ; to- 1. B. 1. 3. [ a jot len'A ;stag , obey stolh d the r a. 3tick ,
