TILE FRENCH LOAN. ' Varna and Bucharest, so that no time may be lost in the transmission of intelligence from the Crimea, and with various other powers and instructions. —Daily News. We have received the Mcniteur of yesterday. It contains the following article on the success of the loan. The article has a political as well as a financial signification : "The success of the first attemi,tat a national loan gua ranteed the success of the new appeal which the Emperor recently addressed to the country; yet the result has ex ceeded every expectation. New did a people,' as the Minister of Finance observes in his report, ' give to their Sovereign so striking a proof of cenfidence and devotion.' The Emperor asked France for C 00,000,000, the deputies unanimously voted them, France responded by offering four times the amount, and foreign States, associating themselves to this national manifestation, give it the character of a European manifestation. " Two millards 200 millions of francs were subscribed in 12 days. To judge by the crowds at the last moments, another week would have add& considerably to this enormous capital. The crowd was so dense at the Trea sury, at the mairies, at the finance receivers', at every place where subscriptions were taken, that a great num ber of persons could not take part in them. Never was such eagerness displayed —and this in the time of war, in the middle of winter, when we have scarcely reeo rered from a crisis in the price of food, and without any acts having been resorted to to stimulate the zeal of the subscriber.'. Extract from the letter of an officer of H.M.S. In flexible, dated Varna, Jan. 9 : On New Year's-day we left this place for the Crimea with Omer Pacha, accompanied by the commissioners Colonels Simmons and Dieu, Prince Sturdza, and suite. On Wednesday morninghis highness landedat Eupatoria and examined the defences of the place (where there are, I believe, about 10,000 troops, mostly Turks, with 40 guns), and there he left fighting old Iskender Bey, thehero of Karakal. On Thursday morning we started again, and passing through the fleet lying off Kazatch and Kamiesh bays, where the admiral saluted the Paella; proceeded to Balaklava. The Muchir had intended to examine the coast on the way down, as it was said that the Russians were again in force on the Alma ; but the snow fell heavily and continuously, and pi evented our approaching the land. Immediately after wer had anchored at Balaklava Col. Simmons rode up to the front to acquaint Lord Raglan and General Canrobert of the Paella's arrival, and next day, the sth, his Highness took part in the council of war which was held. (From the Journal de Constantinople.) EUPATORIA, Jan. 3.—A body of 10,000 good Ottoman troops is now at Eupatoria, under the command of Behrain Pacha and Teffik Pacha, 'the son-in-law of Omer Paella. On the 31st of Dec. the battalion of sharpshooters la-Ided, having been conveyed from Varna by the Co lombo. This battalion consists of about GOO well disci plined men. The artillery is here and a part of the cavalry. The town has been fortified by French and English en gineers, and at this moment can make head against 100,000 Russians. The French, English, and Turks live on very friendly terms together. The military governor of Eupatoria, a good administrator and an excellent officer, M. d'Osmout, whose rank on the staff is that of a chd'escadron, is indefatigable in bringing everything into a state of order, and he has organised a Tartar police. The Tartars ask for arms, and go out to fight courageously against the Cossacks, whose pickets and outposts can be seen by the town sentries. A few skirmishes sometimes come off, but the Congreve rockets terrify the enemy and his horses to such a degree, that they dare net venture too near the town, which has now a moat round it. This moat was dug by the Turkish troops under the direction of French engineer officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned. There is no want of provisions, and yet a few merchants would do well if they came to Eupatoria. On the 24th of December last, the Egyptian vessel on shore, a little in front of the French Henri IV., caught fire and burned down to the water's edge. The guns will be saved and all that is in the hold. About fifty seamen ' who came from Constantinople on boa r d th e Mubhi Surur, are busy at the salvage. The weather has been fine, and the cold is not great—a fortunate thing for the Tartar villagers who have taken refuge in the town and are without provisions. The Tartars are em ployed at digging trenches and on the fortifications ; they are supplied with rations, but are very greedy, very lazy, and very ignorant. We have in the roadsted the Leander, Captain the llon. G. J. Hastings, of the English navy. The French ship Henri IV. has 100 men on board with guns, and the Russians cannot approach on that side. The cavalry, some 7,000 strong, form a cordon about Eupatoria ; they have artillery with them, and prevent the inhabitants from bringing supplies to the town. Everything is now imported by sea. The roadsted of Eupatoria is bad during the winter, and the landing is difficult on account of the surf. There is also a deficiency of barges and boats for the service. The Tartars break up whatever they can for fuel, and one mast needs keep a good look out, or they would carry away the roofs of the houses and destroy the boats drawn up on the beach. The town is full of mud, and in every street yon meet with the dead bodies of animals at every step. The Tartars eat the young horses, and throw the offal into the streets. We are luckily in the winter, or otherwise we should have the plague. Notwithstanding the season, there is a high rate of mortality among the inhabitants ; the prevailing malady is typhus. Troops are sent every day from Varna. The Indiana arrived on the 3d with 1,500 troops and the ferik Mehemet Pacha, on board. During the night of the 31st alt. the Niger, a war steamer, arrived also from Sebas topol. It brought no news of importance. They have engaged here 200 Tartar labourers to go and work at Balaklava. The Ottoman Government would do well to settle some of these folks in Bulgaria, for they would form excellent horsemen, and, as military colonists, would cultivate the plains along the bank of the Danube. In consequence of the bad weather on the let and 2d of this month, the troops which arrived front Varna could not be landed. On the 3d the weather turned out fine, and the Colombo, after landing its troops on board, will be able to proceed to Balaklava with a hundred sump ter-horses brought from Varna, for the officers of the British army. A few days ago they brought here about 800 Tartar horses, and sent them off to Balaklava. " It is not possible to mistake the significance of this great political event. The object tif - the loan was known. In his speech at the opening of the Chambers the Em peror lad loudly declared that it was not to provide for the expenses of France at home, as, since the restoration of order, the revenues of the country amply sufficed fur all its wants, but solely to furnish the means for carrying on the war with renewed vigour. It is nevertheless to a financial operation thus clearly defined that not only France and England eagerly associated themselies, but also Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and even Germany. " The brilliant success of this operation is more than a victory—it is the means of gaining victories. If money is the sinew of war, France has just proved that she does not want money, any more than she does soldiers ; and that the Emperor can count equally upon the purse as upon the arras of the citizens. " It would be difficult to exaggerate the bearing of such an event. When a nation has been able to declare through the mouth of its chief that it has in its army and navy nearly 60,000 soldiers, 120,000 horses, and 70,000 sailors embarked on board skip, and offers im mediately four times the amount that it is asked for to carry on the struggle, there is in this combination of strength placed at the service of European right more than one legitimate subject of satisfaction for itself and of confidence for its Allies ; there is security for the future against every eventuality. "Even in our worst days the military resources of France were never contested. Every one knows that soldiers spring up like armed veterans from this heroic soil, but who could have guessed the extent of its finan cial resources ? In this respect France herself was ig norant of it; she only knew herself when she hearkened to that sympathetic voice which had already successfully appealed to her before. The national loan has renewed the prodigies of the universal vote, and it was reserved to him whu saved France by enabling her to manifest her sentiments, to reveal to her all the riches she contains within herself. " For it was truly France that quadrupled the last loan. She is proud and thankful for the testimony she has received from neighbouring States ; but in the mass of subscriptions the produce of foreign funds does not exceed the proportions of a sympathetic manifestation. "After the grandeur of the result, what cannot be too much pointed out as an indication of the wealth and future prosperity of the country is the number of small subscribers, and the amount of capita paid into the Treasury at the moment of the operation. Who could have supposed that France could place 400 ,000,000 f. at the immediate disposal of the Government, and that without the slightest inconvenience or bar to the general movement of commerce and industry? "The great capitalists also came with an enthusiasm for which praise is due to them to offer a proof of their confidence and adhesion to the Government ; but their concurrence was not necessar!, and, as th e Mi n i ster of Finance observed, they ought to congrat u l a t e themselves upen it. If the immediate advantages o f t h e loan fall exclusively to the small sulscribeys, the great capi talists find in the unparalleled success of this financial operation, and in the results ihich it promises, a large compensation. "Nothing tends more to coisolidate credit and to give a new impetus to the publi) wealth than this confi dence of the nation, which >NI-a to the Government 1,700,000,000 f. more than it asked, and this loyalty of the Government, which at onie returns the excess, so as not to take it out of the carrot of business. "The total sum of the small subscriptione amounts to 8511,000,000 f., being 350,000,W0f. more than the sum demanded. It is here especiall: that figures speak elu qnently. On nearly 180,000 subscriptions less than 10,000 f. are above 500 f. of Rents ; 170,000 do not ex ceed 500 f, and in this number the smallest ones—those which do not come up to 500 f., Mud which are the pro duce of the savings of the working classes—represent more than 300,000,000 f. of capital. TILE ENGLISH ARMY BEFORE SEBAS TOPOL. " Doubtless in this universal display of confidence and patriotism speculation had its pert. But, among those who looked upon the loan as a good speculation, how many of them were moved only by the desire of gain ! And even in their eagerness tosubscribe we must behold another proof in favour of the credit and policy of France. But the agriculturist, the workman, the small capitalist —that is to say, the immense majority of the subscribers —they are - completely stranger. 4 to speculation. They beheld in th e' and it the' ill a 11l 0 time an opportunity: for a ► safe ieveet, 'tient of their savings. The nur-and=a-Half per Centi.,_ which do not offer speculation, counted more tha n a third of the small subscriptions. Of the 40,000,000 of Rentes taken by the small capitalists, 14,000,000 belong to the Four-and-a-Half per (kuts. "The Rentcs on the State are part of the public for tune. But, as before 'B9 the soil of France was divided among a small number of large proprietors, so before the first attempt at a national ham the great capitalists were alone called upon to participate in the benefits of the loans. The Emperor desired, as the debts of the State are a charge for all, that the advantages offered by the Rentes should be aceessitle to all. The national sub scription will have produced in the Rents a revolution analogous to that of the principles of 'B9 in property. The same consequences will result therefrom : the diffu sion of wealth and the enlargement of the bases of social order—that is to say, new bonds which will attach the masses to the tranquillity and prosperity of the country." The Pays yesterday entered the lists relative to the state of the English troops before Sebastopol. It does not dony that much suffering has been en dured by the English army, but at the same time it affirms that the accounts given are greatly exag gerated. The following are its observations : "We are at the same time astonished and distressed at the attitude lately assumed by a part, and unfortunately an influential part, of the English press. For some time past it has been uttering cries of distress, which at pre sent resemble those of despair. If we may believe its affirmations and fts letters, the English army in the Crimea may be considered as utterly lost ; there can scarcely remain 20,000 valid men out of the 53,000 men who formed the contingent of Eng land in the allied army ; the remainder have perished miserably, those who have escaped the Ilusjan shot having fallen victims to disease and to the defective state of the military organisation. Such is the sad and melancholy picture which the English journals draw of the situation of the British army in the Crimea. Every day a voioe is raised in the ranks of the London press, exclaiming, like Cmsar--` Yarns, restore me my legions !" Every day a new article arouses public opi nion against the Ministry, on whom the responsibility of all these disasters is thrown. Is this violent pole mic free from exaggeration ? We must be permitted to doubt it. We certainly will not say that the English army has not suffered very severely since its landing on the coasts of the Crimea ; but, thank God, there is a great difference between that and the total de struction of which the English journals speak. We also in our turn receive accounts of the situation of the allies before Sebastopol, and never has it been men tioned in them that the English army was devastated and weakened as it is represented to be by the English journals. If Lord Raglan were reduced, as they affirm, to have only 2,000 men under his command can it be be believed that he would so sacrifice them to the last man, and would not be the first to raise a cry of grief and despair ? If the state of the English troops was so frightful, would not our generals and our sol diers hasten to their assistance with the ardour of that generous sympathy which now unites the two nations ? These same letters, which draw such a me lancholy picture of the distress of the British troops, re present the French army as admirably organised, and abundantly supplied with provisions and stores of every kind necessary for the comfort and health of the soldier. They affirm, and all our own information con firms the statement, that the health of the French troops is as satisfactory as it is possible to desire ; and they are very warm in their commendations on the order, regularity, and minute foresight which distinguish our military commissariat. Can it be believed that., with this relative comfort, our soldiers would not have been happy to allow our brave Allies to profit by it ? To think otherwise would be to do injustice to the devotedness of our army. Every man among them would, if necessary, share his bread and his blanket with our heroic brethren in arms ; there is not one who would not have submitted to the sacrifice with that feeling of joy at doing geed which, we are proud to ray, is one of the distinctive traits of the French national character. At Balaklava and at Inkerman we saved the English army, when attacked by an over whelming number of the enemy ; we should net now hesitate to prove to it that our fraternal feeling does not exist only on the field of battle, but that it is even stronger in the camps and in the intimate relations of the two armies. All these consi derations render us very suspicious of the truth of the melancholy letters with which the English press has been filled for some time past. But even should these let ters be of better authority than we are disposed to attach to them—is that, we may ask, a sufficient motive for ex citing the public, for alarming families, for declaring all compromised, and for attacking the English Government with a violence which resembles passion? Such an attitude is wanting in patriotism, and is not worthy of a powerful nation. A great nation ought to support the vicissitudes, and even the misfortunes of war with more calmness and sang froid. England has for the last 40 years expressed the strongest antipathy for the sys tem of standing armies. She has devoted all her active force to works of industry and to the all-absorbing activity of her manufactures. The war which has now surprised Europe has found England neither organised nor ready for the struggle. Soldiers and armies are not formed in a moment. Thanks to our military system, and to that glorious Algeria which is such an excellent school for our soldiers, the French army is always ready to enter the field, and it carries with it that courage which is calm even in its fullest ardour, which can only be acquired by the practice and exercise of arms. • This ought to be a serious lesson for England. Experience has now shown her that her old generals were right in calling loudly for the permanent establish ment of a respectable military force. Such is the funda mental fault which is called reform. This is the essen tial fact which (eight to engage the attention of Parlia ment much more than a strugg le against a Ministry, or the exaggerated recitals of anonymous correspondents of the press." TILE TURKISH EXP I SDITION TO THE CRIMEA. VARNA, Jan. 10.—The ;inter is dragging its slow length along, and the work of transporting the Turkish army to the Crimea has as yet made but very little pro gress. It is an undoubted fact that intrigues on a large scale are being carried on against Omer Pacha, the prime mover being one of the principal members of the present Ministry ; his supporters half the old paellas in the country, and the modus operandi general and strenuous efforts to throw every obstacle in the way of the movement of the army, by holding back supplies, whole load of the blame. Thi s may seem a very as i n i ne he rnay,then come in for the money,provisions, etc., hoping scheme in England, where the press is ever on the watch, where the administration is well-organised, po hicaenyder.idißeuulto, litical honesty the rule, political dishonesty the excep tion, and where every department works more or less us ne a y s e t r h th ey ele m s a s, y i s n e t e r m i many a man's ruin in Turkey, have brought many a proud thisund ender sort, e c childish g,upersovoef head under the sword of the executioner, when a great man's cranium was one of the most acceptable gifts the sovereign could offer to his subjects ; and they are evan now sufficient to consign great talents and brilliant ser vices to obscurity and oblivion. The do wnfal of Omer Pacha is, I believe, now the leading subject of the thoughts and conversation of the chiefs who grace Varna by . their presence at this moment, and I have little doubt that were he less supported by European influence, they would effect it. He has given various causes of offence. He is of giaour origin ; he has been too successful ; has reached too high a grade ; is too cordial with Europeans ; acts too much by their advice ; is not sufficiently Turkish in his manners ; is not prone to embezzlement, aid does not permit it in others when he knows of it ; and is free from one or two darling vices of the Turkish aristocracy, to which I dare not allude more particularly than to state that in England they are punished by transportation for life. As regards the ultimate issue of the delibera tions of this conclave I entertain no apprehensions what ever, and beyond a mere mention they deserve no notice. The presence of so many functionaries here at present is, however, a curious illustration of the Turkish style of doing business. To superintend the embarkation of the troops Omer Pacha had selected Mashur Pacha (Sir Stephen Lakeman), who was certainly a man in every way fitted for the work from his sound common sense, his prac tical turn of mind, his English way of looking at things, and his business habits. Count Koscelki, a Polish officer of great merit and indefatigable industry, speaking Turkish fluently, and knowing the Turks thoroughly, had been already sent hero by Lord Raglan and General Canrobert for the same purpose. These two acting under Omer Pacha would have been amply sufficient for the work ; but the Constantinople wiseacres seem to have thought otherwise, and hardly a week or even three days now pass that a steam-frigate does not make its appearance in the harbour with a new functionary on board, whu lands amidst salutes of 21 guns from the batteries, surrounded by about 50 attendants, and with fully as much baggage as a regimen • t of infantry. Ismail Pacha arrived the other day in this manner, with the view, it is said, of installing himself per fns aut nefas as Omer Pacha's lieutenant on the Danube during his absence in the C r i mea. This gentleman, though * a brave man, .and perh a p s th e b est o f his class, has several Turkish failings ; amo ngs t o th ers , an overweening confidence in the Sultan's resources, which leads him to think the Anglo-French alliance per d to believe that the Tu r ki s h f orces fectly, unnecessary, an alone are amply sufficient to deal with the Russians. He is, consequently, by no means disposed to co-operate cordially with Europeans, detests Omer Paella, and is ready to take part in any plan for ousting him. Omer Pacha arrived on Monday from the Crimea in the Inflexible. It appears the Allied generals have pro mised him-transport?, and be is now about to hasten the embarkation of the army as much as possible. The news from Sebastopol is not very favourable. The houses are st Balaklava, and also plenty of wood, but it appears that there iA no means of transporting them to the camp ; consequently the men are often obliged to eat their food raw, and many have died in consequence. S ome o ffi cers, too, in trying to warm their tents with charcoal have been suffocated. The Turks are now embarking every day. The Hon. Mr. Cadogan arrived here last night ; he has come out, it is gaid a to establish telegraphic corouicatiori between The Courrier de, Marseille, of the 23d inst., pub lishes the following letter, dated before Sebastopol, tho 7th inst. : " The weather has been frightful for some days, snow having fallen without intermission during 24 hours. But this was not the greatest inconvenience we had to endure. The sun appearing converted that snow into liquid mud, which now covers our camp, and renders all the roads impassable. To wards evening the cold again sets in, which is endur able in our cantonments, but extremely painful to the men on duty in the trenches. It appears certain that a great portion of the corps of Liprandi has marched in the direction of Eupatoria, for we no longer perceive its fires on the neighbouring heights. The Russian General, it is said, intends to attack the Turkish division before it receives reinforcements i from the army on the Danube. But no fears are entertained for the security of the place, which has been put in a respectable state of defence by French officers of engineers and artillery. The 12,000 or 14,000 men already landed there are, besides, more than sufficient to repulse the enemy. The reconnaissance made, in the last days of December, by General Bosquet, at the bead of a considerable force, had for its principal object to destroy Tchourgoum, and to seize the provi sions collected there by the Russians. The expedition completely succeeded. The village was reduced to ashes, after our troops had removed therefrom all the articles worth carrying off. The Russians did not display on that occasion the same courage they exhibited on other rencontres. Our Zouaves struck terror into them, and they fled on their approach. The loss of the enemy was not so serious as it would have been bad they offered re sistance. The French returned with 40 prisoners and 50 horses, having had only 4 killed and 10 wounded, two of whom were officers. All our troops, as well as the Turks, are now comfortably hutted. The same can not, unfortunately, he said of the English. Their huts arc still at Ba.laklava, and the bail state of the roads pre vent them from transporting them to their camp. Te a trenches, on the other hand, are literally under water, and the siege operstione are consequently suspended for the present. In the evening of the 3d a strong division of Cossacks made its appearance in the vicinity of Balaklaea. The Russian Generals, no doubt, intended to dray thither a part of our force, fer, on the following morning, they sallied out of the batteries of the Garden, and attacked the French lines. Their attempt - , however, was unsuccessful. They were quickly repulsed, and vigorously driven back into the place. Omar Paella, accompanied byMustapha Pasha and some English and French officers, arrived on the sth at the head-quarters of the Allies, where lie was enthusi astically received. After a visit paid by the Turkish Generalissimo to Lord Raglan and General Canrobert, a council of war, at which Admiral Lyonsand Bruat assisted, sat for several hours. As you may suppose, the result of that conferenc e was held secret. However, from what transpired, it is believed by the superior officers that Omer Pasha, at the head of an army of at least 50,000 men, reinforced by an Anglo-French division, will operate, toward the close of the month, to the north of Sebastopol, keeping in check the Russian troops rest ing on Simpheropel and the reserves which may arrive from the interior of Russia. Prince Menschikoff appears determined not to risk ally general affair. Perhaps his army is still under the impression of its defeat at Inkerman, or he relies on the effects of the inclemency of the season on our soldiers. This last opinion is evidently entertained by the Russian General, who is reported to have said—' Our troops may rest ; Generals January, February, and March will fight their battles far better than they could.' These are in reality the auxiliaries on which the Russians always most confidently rely, for it is to them they are indebted for their most decisive successes. But thank God ► the situation of the allied armies is such that they can bear without any great inconvenience the inclemency of a climate to which they are now inured, and it is little probable that the Russians themselves are in so favour able a condition. Moreover, under existing circum stances, eight days of fine weather may totally change the aspect of affairs. At the request of Lord Raglan, our intendance placed 10,000 cloaks with hoods at the disposal of the English army, which, consequently, now wears the French uniform." all all MINES. 'Aqua Fria ......

AUSTRALIA ROYAL MAIL STEAM COMPANY. —At a meeting of this company, held yesterday afternoon, the report was unanimously adopted. The chairman (Mr. W. Malins) explained that the accounts had been brought into a more satisfactory position, the liabilities having been reduced and the assets increased. The employment of the steamers in the transport service is producing a considerable profit, and under these circumstances it was thought the directors might recommend a distribution. It was therefore resolved that a payment of 10s. per share shall be made to the proprietors, and a further sum of 10s. will, it is expected, be divided before June, when a settlement with the Admiralty shall have been effected. In answer to questions it was mentioned that the amount of liabilities is about 39,0001., and that the tangible assets reach 58,000/ , irrespective of several large items, the actual position of which cannot yet be clearly meet , tainod. WELAT IT WILL COST PRUSSIA TO GO TO WAR. BERLIN, Jan. 22.—Preparatory to any debate that may arise in the Second Chamber on the sub ject of the additional 25 per cent. being levied on the income tax and octroi, to meet the interest of the loan issued last year by this Government for war purposes, a memorial has been distributed among the Deputies, setting forth what has been already done in this respect, what the military preparations have cost, and what they will continue to cost only to keep up the state of preparedness for war (Kriegsbereitschaft). The memorial runs as follows : "In view of the general state of politics and of the circumstance that all the other great Powers of Europe hare most extensively developed their military resources, it could not remain matter of doubt that Prussia would also be obliged to take measures to bring the various parts of her army into a condition which would facilitate its passing into a state of actual war, and increase its preparedness for that state, without entailing on the land the expenses of a mobilisation earlier than was in evitable. "In all armies it is first the procuring and then the training of the horses that binders and delays their be coming prepared. Although the Prussian army is in the fortunate position, that the full war complement of horses can be certainly provided in the country itself, and their supply is regulated by law, it can nevertheless not be denied that in the case of its being got ready for war the great number of untrained horses would act as a great hindrance. To ebviate these in conveniences it will be requisite in all cases, where there is time for preliminary preparations, to begin with the augmentation of the horses that will be wanted to be taken into action, and therefore stand in need of peculiar training, as in the cavalry and artillery ; and then to take cars thaf, either by limiting the ret.rement of men who have served their time, or by early calling out those who are destined to replace them at the various arms may be provided with a full complement of men. "In addition to the above-mentioned preparations, it was necess ar y t o b ear i n mind the important circum stances that possibly the necessity of increasing the field artillery might s u p ervene, seeing that a' few years back the fire six-pounder foot batteries of each regiment of artillery were each reduced by one for the purpose of obtaining, as it was then thought ne cessary, an increased strength for the pc ace footing of the other batteries and the artillery of the fortifi cations. Therefore, to avoid being obliged to weaken the reserve stores for the purpose of strengthening the field artillery up to the former extent, it wa , s necessary to arrange for replacing the batteries that had been re duced, and putting them on the war footing. " It was also imperatively necessary en the breaking out of war between the neighbouring Great Powers to make preparations for strengthening certain points on the frontier, and to order some of the fortresses to be got into a state of preparedness, both as regards their forti fications and their armament of artillery. " The immense number of guns now used in war, of largo calibre and of long range, has made it necessary to supply the fortresses with 25-pound and 50-pound cannon, for firing shells, so as to enable them to meet any attack with similar guns, and at the same time to supply the siege train with similar pieces. "Conformably to the above, the following arrange ments have been made, and carried out, one aft er th e other since the month of July:— , "1. Every cavalry regiment of the standing army has been put on the full war footing. "2. Every battery of the nine artillery regiments has had its complement of men and horses fully made up. " 3. The recruits of all arms levied this year for ser vice next spring were already ranged in the ranks in the beginning of October of the last year. " 4. The leaves of absence usually issued for the win ter have this time not been given. " 5. The cavalry and artillery have only disposed of such horses as were not worth their fodder, and the late purchases are borne on the books as supernumeraries. " 6. The artillery, inclusive of the fortification compa nies of two regiments, has not parted with the men who Lad served only their full time. " 7. The men necessary for grooming and training the newly-purchased horses have been retained in the service. " 8. In two divisions of pioneers, the men who had served out their time have not been suffered toleave their regiments, and the recruits are consequently borne on the rolls as 'supernumeraries._ _ " 9. The erection of a fifth 6-pound foot battery for each of the nine regiments of artillery has been pre pared for, so that the field artillery may, in case of need, be properly strengthened, and without weakening the reserve stock. " 10. The reserve stores of ammunition for light per cussion fire-arms are being increased in proportion to the gradual introduction of this weapon into the army. " 11. The smiths'companies of the artillery have been put on full war footing, inclusive of the infantry com manded to their service, so as to enable the artillery works to meet the demands that may be made on them. " 12. For the purpose of securing the frontier the preparations that seemed necessary have been made, and the fortresses in question have been strengthened in their fortifications and armaments. "13. Steps have been taken to supply the fortresses with a number of 25-pound and 50-pound cannon for firing shells, and to prepare for a supply of these species of artillery to the siege trains. " The extraordinary expenses which have accrued to the Administration of the Army from the above-men tioned measures up to the close of 1854 amount to 4,135,724 thalers. Of this sum, 2 ,419,929 thalers were for outlays made once for all, while the budget eeurrent amountsmonthly expense overand above the usual military to 434,053 thalers. WINE DUT IES.—The Cadi z papers g i ve an accoun t of Mr. Oliveira ' s visit to that city in connexion with this subject, and intimate the deep interest which all the great houses at Jeres and Port St. Mary's take in the question. The honourable gentleman, it seems, has made a complete survey of the various establishments, and been most favourably received ; added to which the leading commercial houses of Cadiz are beginning to view the principles of free trade with some favour even as regards a reduction of the Spanish tariff. Mr. Oliveira is expected home early in February, when he will bring forward his motion on the wine duties. Owing to the cold, the building of the small chat-au for the Empress, nest Bayonne, which is ca ll e d th e Vill a EugtSnie, has had to be suspended ; Lut materials con tinue to be conveyed there, and the cutting and prepa ration of sten,' is carried on with activity.—Galignani. SAYINGS'-BANKS.—The bill of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the re-arrairgement of the funds of the savings'-banks and the creation of a "State Deposit Account" of 24,000,0001 , in place of certain amounts of stock to be cancelled, is to be proceeded with to-mor row evening. The promised Government measure on the law of partnership is to be introduced by the Presi dent of the Board of Trade on Monday. THE LATE CROYDON RAILWAY ACCIDENT. -- The directors of the South-Eastern Railway have awarded the sum of 1501. to Miss Dobree, of Ashford, who sus tained some injury on the occasion.

It is far from clear to our minds how a committee of the House of Commons can institute a satisfactory in quiry into the condition of the English army before Se. bastopol. All the best witnesses are on the spot, and the available evidence is contradictory. Neither, for the same reason, can " the conduct of those departments whose duty it was to supply the wants of that army," be fairly judged at present. Still, Mr. Roebuck's motion can hardly be termed premature or ill-timed ; for it will, at all events, give rise to au instructive dis cussion, and help to clear the public mind of a variety of errors and prejudices, which might other wise hurry our representatives into hasty and mis chievous conclusions. A contemporary who has laboured but too successfully to degrade our mili tary character in the oyes of foreign nations, says that the expedition of 1854 may as well be dismissed wholly from our active speculations, and that we have merely to address ourselves "to future wars ; to the campaign of 1855, and to the sort of auspices under which we are to connive at the departure of .another 50,000 men to the East." This style of writing at such a crisis is fool ish as well as wrong. According to the last accounts, Lord Raglan had more than than 28,000 men of a!l arms fit for service, and the crowded state of his hospitals is lwing to a succession of hard-fought action., like Alma, Ba'a,klava and Inkerinan, as well as to the effects of the eliinat.: and the inevitable hardships of a wintercampaign. The prportioi.al number of sick we repeat is much smaller than that which existed in the Duke of Wellington's army a. few mont h s before lie took Badajoz by assault with the lo ss of (1, 000 of his bravest troops., and won the battle of Salamanca. In October, 1811, lie hid 25,000 men in hospital, of whom 19,000 were British soldiers, including (as stated in his despatches) the whole of the recruits last arrived from England. To what extent General Can r obort's army has suffered from the prevalent diseases of the Crimea, is involved in mystery ; but from occasional indicati ons we s h ou ld infer that the French have not been totally exempt from hardship, exposure,'and disease. The `‘ special corres spondent" whose gloomy pictures of English privation as contrasted with French abundance have saddened thousands of English homes, has been unconsciously lured, by the temptation of telling a good story, into reve lations that cannot be reconciled with his more studied accounts. In a letter published yesterday, he states that " the instant a cart with provisions or spirits breaks down, it is plundered by our active friends the Zouaves;" and, ho adds, that one of these worthies broke cut as fol lows, in conversation with an English officer, who was expatiating on the disagreeables of camp life in the Cri mea in winter time—" C'est vrai, mon ami ! En effet, nous e'prouvons beaucoup de mis'ere. Regardez mei— moi—premier basson du 3me Zouaves ! abve du Con servatoire, forc6 d'arracher bu bois de la term pour me faire de In soupe." We must be excused for attaching more importance to a passing illustration of this kind than to the stereotyped recognition from head-quarters of the " wisdom and foresight " of the Emperor. At the same time it stands to reason that the French with their arbitrary form of Government and their mili tary habits are superior to the English iu camp arrange ments ; and circumstances have given them an addi tional advantage, inasmuch as they have hitherto bad comparatively little either of the hard fighting or the hard work. All the worst suffering of the English troops may be traced to their overtasked and consequently ex hausted state, which is owing to their inadequacy, in respect of numbers, to perform the excessive duties that have been imposed upon them. When they first disembarked, they formed rather more than half of the expeditionary armament, and they occu pied a corresponding position. They now constitute less than one-third, yet they hold the same extent of ground as if they still outnumbered their allies. If we assist the French with ships to bring their rein forcements, they may surely assist us with horses and carriages to bring up our guns, huts, and stores. There is no degradation in such an interchange of services ; and nothing is more lowering, either to nations or indi viduals, than to persevere in a ruinous course in the vain hope of keeping up appearances. Do what we will, we shall never be able to keep pace with Imperial Allies, who can bring respectively half a million of disciplined soldiers into the field. An outcry, however, has been raised against the Government for reducing Great Britain to the hu miliating necessity of playing a secondary part in the war, as if they should, or could, have had fifty or sixty thousand seasoned troops always ready by way of a reserve for suck an emergency. Yet if the writers and orators who are most clamorous in pressing the charge would only be candid enough to consult their own personal recollections, they must acknowledge that no suspicion cf the rashness of the expedition, er of the inadequacy of our resources, broke upon them till after the affairs of Balaklava and Token man. A Cassandra-like voice might have been heard at rare intervals, but both of the allied nations were looking forward to a speedy and easy triumph, and the famous allusion to lee (insides axis shows to what extent the delusion prevailed in the highest and best-informed quarters in France. So long as it lasted, we do not believe that the people would have submitted to the sacrifices which must have been demanded be fore making the required addition to our regular forces and our establishments, and we are quite sure that it was morally and physically impossible to raise or expand these to the required pitch within the allotted time. All the most trustworthy authorities are of one mind on this subject. Sir De Lacy Evans reminded the Folkestone deputation that Great Britain had never yet been able to do herself justice as a military power till the third campaign. Sir Howard Douglas praises the " wonderful promptitude" of the Govern ment in fitting out the expedition, but says that its failure, should it fail, will be attributable to deficiencies which " could not be provided at the eleventh hour by any administrative talent on the part of this new de partment of war." Sir Archibald Alison thus prefaces his recapitulation of the difficulties with which the Duke of Wellington bad to struggle:— "Though the coat et had now continued nearly eighteen years, the English Go vernment were still, thanks to our insular situation and invincible navy, mere novices in the art ei'military war fare, and the subordinate functionaries in every depart ment required littrally to be taught their several duties in the presence of the enemy. There is nothing sur prising is this ; it is the natural result of the peculiar circumstances, unassailable power, nautical habits, po pular Government, and commercial character of the people of England. In peace they invariably relax the sinews of war ; no amount of experience can persuade them to take any antecedent measures either to avert disaster or to insure success. They constantly expect that, without the least previous preparation, and with greatly inferior numbers, their armies, newly raised, uninstructed, and inexperienced, are to vanquish their enemies in every encounter." "It is in vain to ascribe these unhappy arrangements to the fact of any particular body of men then entrusted with the reins of Government ; they obviously arise from general causes, for they characterise equally the first years of every contest in British history." Do they not characterise equally every prolonged con test on a foreig n soil, in which th e B r iti s h troops were not led by a heaven-born general, a Marlborough or a Wellington ? Can anything short of moral courage, iron strength of will, patient endurance, and fertility of re source, amounting to genius, counterbalance or compen sate for the disadvantages created by parliamentary jealousy or economy, and by constitutional or depart mental checks ? We think not ; and the House of Corn- MOll3 will not extricate itself from its embarrassments, although it may soothe the national pride or gratify the spleen of a faction, by holding the Commandr-in-Chief or the Secretary of War answerable for not controlling the elements, or for not revolutionising in three months the most cherished institutions and ingrained habits of their countrymen.— Morning Chronicle. TILLS RATRIBUTIUff. The Retribution steam:frigate, Captain Tatham, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, and ranged alongside the dockyard jetty at 11 o'clock to disembark her wounded and invalid soldiery. Vicc- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, the Commander-in- Chief, was present on the jetty when the ship was lashed alongside. The military authorities were also promptly on the alert, and Brigade-Major Dalgetty and Town- Major Maitland ; also fatigue parties from the Rifle Brigade and Hampshire Infantry Militia, commanded - by Ensign J. P. C. Glyn of the former, and Major Robbins and Lieutenant Valentine of the latter. Lieu tenant-Colonel Clinton, of the Rants Militia, was also present, and assisted in directing the movements of the fatigue parties. Nothing could exceed the attention paid by these officers to the careful landing of those who were so helpless as to require stretchers. The Ad. miral Superintendent's Fla g -Lieutenar Mr. Waddilove, was present a t the disembarkation, Bich commenced immediately the vessel got moored. A number of vans were at the spot, and received all tnose who were able to be conveyed to their sick quarters by those means— about forty in number. All were, out of the ship by a quarter-past twelve o'clock, and the body of the deceased John Thompson, of the 19th, was removed from the ship in a shell, covered with the union jack. The most urgent cases have been taken to the garrison hospital, and the rest are berthed in the new auxiliary hospital adjacent to the Milldam ; all are receive ing the utmost attention of the medical staff. The Retribution has come home with a temporary rudder, a temporary mizenmast, and only her own foremast stand ing. When struck by the sea, in the awful gale of the 14th of November, at Balaklava, such was the violence of the gale that one of her heavy upper deck guns was sent 4 ` flying right aft and carrying everybody with it," but happily killing none. She was also struck by light ning, which shivered her .foretopsailyard ; she at the same time carried away her rudder. She threw her upper deck guns overboard to lighten her top -hamper, and lost her mainmast at Sebastopol in the bombardment of the 17th of October, when several of her beams were at which ßat o e u n ni te , r v e c a l r t i , l i r m , smashed ; the mainmast went right through the upper deck, main deck, and into the engine-room, where it wear with credit. She rap, Black Sea during th , present Is. luckily rested. She luau done her share of work in the the Circassian indeed, the eta': serviceseHfieir,stß prizes (13), in conjunction with the coast, in making French steamer Descartes and our own Niger, after the the Sulina mouth of the Danube, along firing on the flag' of truce at Odessa ; also her expedition : iti sliship therein,of andd r wiLli the Sidon to destroy the forts at the entrance to the Danube, and her participation in the bombardment of Odessa and other services have been appreciated. She must now have a thorough repair. Her officers and ship's company have brought home abundance of small trophies from the Black Sea and other places, and Lieu.. tenant O'Reilly some most artistically executed draw ings of the places she has visited and the service she has participated in. She went into Portsmouth harbour with her figurehead dressed in a sailors white hat, with numerous streamers of ribands, &c., and excited much attention. 3/ 2s St. St. 10 St. 25 20i 100 20 25 St, 20 St 100 100 . 100 11# all all 100 100 1.00 L 9 100 21 all 1.415, 16 :3[ all all all 10 20 50 20 25 all all 2 61i i 106 1001 75i 6 59 4 3h I , -''S7
