Reviewing the past year, we have the highest gratification in re cording our success, and expressing our thanks for the vast amount of patronage and support which our business in all its departments has received. We think it no presumption to say we have laboured to merit the distinction we have gained. Business—practical, ener getic, constant, punctual, and unwavering —has been our daily ob ject. We have visited every market; we have employed the skill and experience with which many years of boundless trade have gifted its ; we have encouraged talent, and patronised industry, and have made all our resources available to friends, patrons, and the public, in presenting them with superior and fashionable Dress, at very reasonable charges. We have received our reward in the innu merable instances of satisfaction expressed toward our !anginas' and our manufactures—in the vast inereass of our Trade in London. the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and throughout the World. The Ready-made Clothing Department leas been publicly acknow ledged the boon ef society, and an advantage to individuals and families. Our ambition to furnish the best, most fashionable, and comfortable Clothing, at the lowest possible prices, has met with a most conspicuous response ; and we owe to cur friends, patrons, and the public, a grateful acknowledgment of success which has not been equalled on any former season. We have received the attention of all classes and of all professions—our productions have been declared the most popular, the most gentlemanly, the most comfortable, and the cheapest. Our system of business. now universally known, has been as extensively praised; and through the past Year, the cordial congratulations we have received have been a source of satisfaction, which we esteem the most brilliant triumph of Trade. As Hatters, we have supplied elegant articles for the intellectual developments of our fellow-subjects, and have neither contracted their benevolent propensities by comfortless hats, nor distorted their apprehensions with exerbitaat prices ; but the bed productions of London and Paris have been transferred from our Establishments to their proper places—the Heads of families and all-the young hepe fula of a future generation. In the Hosiery Department such encouragement has been expe rienced as has exceeded the most sanguine expectation, and at the repeated solicitation ef a vast number of patrons we have been in duced to add a Hosiery section to our Oxford-street Branch Establish meet. Being the largest Manufacturers of Shirts and Underclothing, and having commercial transactions with every Nation and King dom in the World, we have the pleasure of offering ouch articles in Hosiery for Ladies and Gentlemen as are not equalled for supe , riority, variety, elegance, or cheapness. Our Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Business, for which the most extensive premises are kept at our City Establish ment, has had the most liberal encouragement from Merchants, Shippers, Captains, and ethers ; and we have the greatest satisfac tion in the uniform testimony which has been awarded to our pro ductions from the celebrity they have gained in all parts of the world, and the conviction that they have proved the most pro fitable investments which were ever made for the export or home trade. Wa most gratefully acknowledge the distinguished patronage which has been conferred on our Branch Establishments at Sheffield and Bradford, Yorkshire, where we pursue the same plans of business, charge the same reasonable prices, and furni,li goods of the same fashionable and excellent order. Though every colony of the British Empire has in it our patrons, Australia, that home of English in dustry, has a large and flourishing Wholesale Branch of our well known business ; and we are persuaded that in every place that business will always be worthy of the name and celebrity of E. 1109E9 and SON. However, as it is E. Mons and Sox's custom annually to recapi tulate the progress of their business, and to express their good wishes towards their patrons and the publi c , th e y d o so w i t h an ex traordinary degree of pleasure at the commencement of the year 855 ; satisfied that the name of E. MO3E9 and SON is identified with gcod, fashionable, and cheap clothing; that E. Mons and SON have the greatest celebrity as Merchant Tailors, Hosiers, and Out fitters; that there is not a Lranch of business they profess, but in it indefatigable perseverance enables them to suceaed ; and in the most animated hopes of securing numberless advantages to al classes of patrons, and of preserving distinction and celebrity in al nations, E. MOSE 9 and Sox most sincerely wish ev er y b o dy i n a l parts of the world A liArrx SEW TEAR, The Marlborough, 131, screw-ship, building in this dockyard, is to be launched by March next. The Royal George, 120, screw, Captain Codrington, C. 8., is still in the Fairway moorings. On Saturday they were busy discharging her guns, Ste., to lighten her. She is to go into the basin the next spring tides. Thursday or Friday will be the day. She has sent down her inizentopmast prior to unstopping the mizenmast. By that we conclude the poop is fixed to come off at least, which, considering the crank qualities of this free•decker, is most advisable. It is reported that a portion of the crew of the t.oyal George are to be draughted to ehe Nankin (fit rig at Chatham) on their return from their leave on the 6th inst. The screw steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre, Captain the lion. Henry Keppell, was towed en Tuesday to her sailing moorings, where she has been fitted with stalls for a few hor-e , :, for which hay has heen supplied from the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth. She has also receiver a quantity of ordnance stores. The St. Jean d'Acre was appointed to go fret* Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound yesterday, preparatory to sailing for Queenstown to embark troops for the Crimea. The screw steam-ship Nile, 91, Captain G. R. Mundy, discharged her powder, shell, and shot in Plymouth Sound on Saturday, and is appointed to go up Hamoaze to-day. Wben the Nile came in.contact with the Hogue, in crossing the North Sea, she is reported to have been on a wind on the starboard tack. The Nile tore away two of her foremast starboard shrouds and part of her fore channels, and lest a waist anchor and a bower an chor, and dragged out the whole of her chain. When the chain gave way the broken link unfortunately killed one of her carpenter's crew. The J nines Watt, 91, screw steamship, Captain Eliot, was paid wages -on Saturday, - and leave of ab sence was granted to her crew. The crew of the screw steam-ship Princess Royal, 91, Captain Lord C. E. Paget, commenced coaling in Ha moaze on Saturday. The Majestic, 81, screw, Captain Hope, C. 13., is in No. 3 dock,-Sheerness, which is now perfectly dry, and the gates shut. The defect originated through a pig Of iron at the bottom, which was removed by the diver. The crew are all victualled on board the hulk Mino taur ; but throughout the day employed variously about the rigging, Ste. We understand the crew will go on leave as soon as everything is put in order, which is ex pected to .be by about next Saturday. The bottom of this vessel is good, with the exception of a little of the copper being rubbed. They have commenced stripping it round the stern-post, where the leak is expected to be, and which made a good deal of water when under steam. The Hogue, 60, steamed into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning from Spithead, and was taken to moorings off Hardway. She and the Impdrieuse, 50, will be paid wages during the week, and the men granted leave. The screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51, Captain George Ramsay, was placed in the basin dock at the Devonport yard on Thursday, to have defects made good. The Melampus, store transport, is still in the basin, Sheerness. Her lower masts are stepped, and on Satur day we observed riggers getting the lower rigging over the mast heads, &c. The Araphion, 34, screw, Captain Key, left her moor ings on the west shore, and has hauled to the moorings abreast of Sheerness yard. It is settled now she is to remain here, and, weatker permitting, will go into the basin on Monday. Independent of her boilers being very defective her lower masts are not sound. The crew are dismantling her, &c., after which it is expected they will go on leave. The Pylades, screw corvette, 21, is still under the sheers. Pen and Son's mechanics are on board fixing the boilers, &c. Tie E,k steamer arrived at Spithead yesterday morn- ing from Sheerness. The steam-tugs African and Lucifer, from Sheerness, arrived at Plymouth •n Saturday with seamen for diffe rent ships at that porb. The Argus revenue steam-vessel left Portsmouth yes terday.

The Imperatrico steam-transport embarked on Satur day at Portsmouth dockyard the detachments of troops for the Crimea reported in The Sun of that day, and sailed early yesterday morning. The ship Sumroo, Captain Henderson, in tow of the French steam-frigate La Reine Hortense, left South ampton on Saturday with the first instalment of wooden barracks for the use of the French army in the Crimea. The Stunroo has on board 300 of these kute, calculated to accommodate 30 men in each. Each house has an iron stove with funnel, cooking gear, and other appur tenances, and can be erected in a few hours. The Sa ladin, with a further supply of these houses, will be ready in a few days, and is to be towed to her destination by the William M'Corinick steamer. The Coriolanus, Swiftsure, and Falcon, are to be loaded as quickly as possible. A detachment of French Sappers and Miners, consisting of one officer, one sergeant, and six men, embark in each ship for the purpose of superiutend ing the landing and erection of these barracks. Previous to their departure the several companies of French Engineers were entertained at dinner by the detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners stationed at the Ordnance Map-office in Southampton. Appropriate toasts were proposed and enthusiastically responded to, the French and British soldiers fraternising together in the most cordial and friendly manner. The whole company marched through the streets to the place of en tertainment, and attracted considerable notice, each French soldier being escorted between two British Sappers.. The Black Prince screw steam transport when she went down the river on Thursday had to bring up in Long Reach for tile night. On the following day she proceeded to Greenhithe to have her compasses adjusted and take on board 50 tons of gunpowder from Purfieet. She has on board a large supply of warm clothing for the Crimea. MILITARY. A new carbine for the Royal Sappers and Miners was tried in the Ordnance marshes at Woolwich on Friday by Captain Turner, R.A., and Captain Fitzroy Somer set, R.E., and several officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers were present. The new carbine had Mr. Lancaster's elliptical bore. Mr. Lancaster made very excellent practice with it at 1,000 yards range. The let company of Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Brown, R.E., at present at Chatham, expect to embark on the 3d or 4th of Jan uary for the Crimea. Captain Adair's company, sth battalion of Royal Ar tillery, and Captain Dixon's company, 9th battalion, were medically inspected at the Ordnance Hospital, Woolwich, yesterday, and placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for the Crimea. These make seven companies at Woolwich under orders for the Crimea. Four of the companies are for 9-pounder field batteries, and the other three companies for serving with siege guns. Capt. Seymour Dawson Darner, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, has been appointed aide-de-camp, and Captain the Hon. W. H. Wellesley, of the Coldstream Guards, extra aide-de-camp to Major-General Lord Rokeby. We have already stated that Capt. Barnard, of the Grenadier Guards, had been appointed aide-de-camp to Major- General Barnard. These two officers proceed to the Crimea to command either divisions or brigades, as Lord Raglan may direct. Captain G. Hume, 38th Regiment, has been appointed extra aide-de-camp to Major-General Sir Joh❑ Camp bell, Tart. Captain Addison, who was secretary and adjutant of the Royal Military Asylum, has been appointed deputy assistant adjutant-general at the Horse Guards, Major Arthur Pack being about to proceed to the Crimea. Captain Frazer of the 7th Hussars has been appointed MILITIA. The South Durham Regiment are now assembled at Barnardcasle, their head-quarters. The number is not more than 500 men. It is intended to send recruiting parties into different parts of the country to make up the fall quota of 900. The Rlyal Montgomery Rifle Regiment, having been embodied, assembled for permanent duty on the 12th ult. The Ist Regiment of the Warwickshire Militia is in creasing in numbers, and, although many are reported to be medically unfit for service, and a number of mar ried men have been discharged, fresh ♦olunteers are offering themselves daily. The 2d Regiment of the Warwickshire Militia assem bled at Leamington, is rapidly progressing towards a state of efficiency. Since the 20th of November 71 have volunteered into vari us regiments of the line, making a total of 200 since they were - dismissed in May last. The Leicestershire Militia, commanded by Colonel King, assembled on Friday on the Racecourse, Leicester, when the circular from Mr. Sidney Herbert, permitting enlistment into the line, was read. The regiment was afterwards addressed by Colonel King. GENIIRAL SIR DE LACY ETANS AND LORD RAGLAN. The gallant member for Westminstar has again landed in Old England, and we are glad to learn is recruiting his shattered constitution at Folkestone. Ws under- stand that his broken health has been much restored by his voyage home, although there is no chance that he can safely resume his Crimean command. The climate of the East in autumn and winter, with constant ex posure under canvas day and night, and no rest for body and mind, proved over-much trial for a veteran soldier 68 years of age. Indeed, the command of a division of the army, under such circumstances as those in which the Allies are placed in the Crim ea , is perhaps the most incessantly onerous and responsible. We need not re peat the universal opinion of his comrades—British, Irish, and French—on the last service which he ren dered to his country. Political detraction and prejudice for a while deprived Sir De Lacy Evans of the rank and rewards due to his extraordinary military career and his hard-earned distinction as a soldier. The reluctance with which he gave up his command, and the opinion of Lord Raglan, on the occasion, are fully stated in the following correspondence, commuricated by a friend of the gallaat general, and whici we take on our selves the responsibility of making sublic, though with out his permission. The letters are alike honourable to both, and there can be no reason vshy the friends and constituents of the member for Weszainster should not be gratified by their publicity : H.M.S. Britannia, Nov. 11, 1854. My Lord,—On the 30th ult. an aide-de-camp of mine had the honour of informing your lordship that after be ing confined to bed in my tent for nearly two days I had a severe fall on my head, my horse partly rolling over me, which added to previous suffering from illness or ex haustion rendered me totally incapable of dety. Your lordship immediately granted me suds leaves of absence as I might require, and had the goolness even to send your carriage to convey me to Balsklava. Hearing on the 4th, however, that some attack against the enemy was intended, I wrote the nsfitary secretary to ask when it was to be, being desirous, if possible, though far' from well, to be at least present at it. Col. Steele was so obliging to reply, "Lord Raglan begs to say you must not think of moving until you are quite strong." On hearing heavy firing on the morning of Sunday, the sth, though the weat'aer was bad and I had taken mercury, I proceeded as fast as I could to the point of attack, and remained there till the close of the battle, but felt neither justified nor ft to take the com mand of the division from General rennerather, which he had exercised with so much ability in the previous part of the day. Your lordship on hearing that I was on the field sent for me, and with your usual kind con siderateness desired me to go back to the ship I had been staying in—which, acknowledging my inability for any useful active service, I obeyed. But the fatigue and ex posure to weather I had undergone did me injury. I have now for nearly a fortnight had the benefit of the greatest care and hospitality possible, and a warm cabin, from my generous naval friends Capt. Dacres in the first instance, and now no less so from the Admiral in-Chief in the liritannia. But five months without ces sation under canvas, with some unavoidable privations and alterations of temperature, latterly at night not un frequently severe cold, with the shock occasioned by my n poetuo ti and ds advantageste b - eae i r atest.iiiiAlenftd withwitla fi c th l year. beli e v a I n n; d fa e l o l, c4 haj wi e ug had to th t e h i e r chance,lffeonofo o ne e he in service, other officer of the same ecirebeed age and rank Ilas had all the m ai:s r p e re7e n n t t i but little feeling of strength or freedom from ailment. This has been greatly misled to by the heavy and pecu liar responsibility that lately fell to my lot for almost a month, namely, from about the 4th, I think, till the 30th of October. -----.. I feel ix consequence much depressed, worn out, and exhausted. A severe chronic complaint I am subject to having been also extremely aggravated during the cold nights we latterly had in camp, and which are now becoming more frequent and severe with the advancing winter season. I should not, however, have been so prolix, for in your lordship's letter of the 31st you were pleased to refer to some of these circumstances as fol lows :—" Nothing can -,have been mere satisfactory than the whole of my intercourse with you, and it is painful to me to see it interrupted. But unfortunately no man can command health, and you have had to un dergo not only great fatigue but anxiety of mind, since your division has occupied the important position it now ho s ld u s c , h an ex d pr s e o ss g i a o l n ia s n o t f ly a few days ago." maintained under your approvaldirec tions from Sour lordship are indeed a groat happiness te me to have received.

I was well aware, though others may not ha - re been, that this invalid con dition prevented my attending to many things which I knew it was urgent I should have personally seen to and executed.

I cannot close my letter without sympathising with you on the death of your first aide-de-camp, Captain Allis, who appeared to me to be a most promising officer, and fully to deserve your confidence and good opinion. faithfully yours, RAGLAN. Believe me, my dear general, very Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans, K.Q.B. DOVER, Dec. 29.—Among the arrivals this day at the Lord Warden Hotel, from the Continent, are the follow ing officers from the Crimea, wounded :—Capt. Trevel yan, 11th Hussars ; Captain Crosse, 88th ; Lieutenant Baynes, 88th ; Lieutenant Wallis, 33d. Captain Duplat has also arrived this afternoon from Vienna, with despatches for Lord Clarendon. of our incurable national self-complacency. Are we not the two most civilised Powers of Europe, ourselves the wisest and best, if not also the bravest of the two, fighting against the most barbarous Power ? Is not Russia a nation go verned by a despot, assisted by tools, by means of ukases, the knout, conscriptions, Siberiti, forced contributions, martial law and a - system of per sonal brutalities from which even the highest nobility is not secure ? How is it possible but that the free genius of our own favoured country should prevaiqunder all circumstances whatever, against a form of society so low that it may be called abhorrent to human nature itself ? May we not be sure that, even if things are bad enough with us— worse-looking possibly from our comparative innocence of war they are, in reality, still worse with the Russian army, and that even in this fatal struggle with climate, with winter, with storm, and with famine, we are beating the Russian,. or must eventually beat him ? Now, in this great depre ciation of the foe, and in the particular reason for this depreciation, lies our principal danger. We despise Russia for the very reason that we ought to fear her. We hold ourselves vastly her superior for _ _ a point on which we ought rather to take a lesson from,. her. She is a barbarous Power. Grant #;. and a purely militaryrrik * i stein s worked with a rod of iron. The Czar treats her nobles as they do their serfs. Generals are sent to Siberia or reduced to the ranks ; governors of cities are sentenced to work on the — roads ; nobody knows whose turn may come next, or how terrible it may be. It is a crime to be incompetent. For a moment's vacillation the services of a long life are forgotten, and it is rebellion not to understand rightly an order that admits of two construc tions. The Imperial family itself is not exempt from this iron law. The incompetent heir is put aside, and his partisans disappear. In such a system the hardest metal is a necessity of State. When the instrument once yields, or permits its edge to be turned by the soft compunctions of humanity or personal kindness it is thrown away. It may be good enough in its place, but will not do the work of the Czar. Such is the quality of the Russian system that we may perhaps hate or despise it, and that we may afford to do so in time of peace, but we cannot afford to do so in time of war, or in any affair that relates to war. We cannot afford to fight with soft iron against hard iron, with foils against naked swords, with holyday pageants against the grim reality, with courtiers against warriors—in a word, with peace against war. Yet that is very much what we are vainly attempting to do. It will not be denied that if the Czar, by a per sonal inspection or otherwise of an army, ascer tained it to be in the condition of our army be fore Sebastopol, he would instantly put it into entirely new hands. ETOIL were the case not so bad, it will not be doubted that rebukes, peremp tory orders, and other measures of rigour would soon be heard of, and that every man in the ser vice would be put on his mettle. But if we want to know how Emperors and great generals manage these affairs, we have an example in the corres pondence of Napoleon, particularly that with his brother Joseph. It was not with good nature that this man conquered half Europe. He in structed, commanded, reproved, rebuked, and abused everybody, without any exception. He would have everybody about him at his post and up to the mark. Ho required his viceroys and marshals to do as he did, and transmit downwards the vigour of their chief. If our system be not one of aggression, if we are actually denying our selves the prizes of conquest, and seeking only the barren honours of justice and humanity, never theless the work itself is not in any respect short of that undertaken by Napoleon Bonaparte. In attacking Russia we are simply attempting to do what he could net do, to cap his greatest triumphs, and to redress his worst failure. This we attempt to do with about one-fifth of his force, and with the still greater disadvantage of a divided com mand. To succeed after his disappointment would be almost miraculous. If he, then, ever required an iron will, an iron head, iron instruments, and a whole system of iron, as, indeed, he always did, much more do we. Yet everybody knows that the whole conduct of this expedition, from first to last, has been rather that of an encampment at Chob ham than an invasion of the soil of Russia, and an attempt to destroy the strongest place of the strongest man in the world. Ministerial favour, nepotism, routine, official punctilios of a hundred kinds, have all been observed in a battle of giants. We are hampered, not by the inexoraqle condi tions of the war, bad as they may be, but by the silken bonds of class, clique, and kin. The real administrators of the army are much too kind hearted to peach against one another, or to give one another unnecessary pain. They are all good fellows, and though one, if report speaks true, who should be the very eye of the chief, is almost blind, another never had much capacity, and has had no experience, a third is too infirm to appear, except in a carriage, and the staff is otherwise crowded with beardless youths, gone to the Crimea to learn their profession, we are no more likely to hoar of any complaints than the vulgar public is to hear the quarrels at a ball at Almack's, or the mishaps of a dinner at Windsor Castle. The Czar is not to be tied within his own dreary continent with such gossamer wets as those. We smile at the Chinese, who defend their empire with paper ramparts, mock steamers, the clashing of swords, and the sounding of gongs ; but what will the world say of us should it be found that our army had invaded Russia under a staff as showy and thea trical ? Then we are told it is the duty of every true Englishman to enter the official conspiracy, and help to conceal the true state of things from those twin horrors—the British public and the Empe ror of Russia. 'We aro always to report "an im provement for the better"—reinforcements ar riving, supplies getting up, the roads under repair, the winter clothing coming at last, the weather improving, and something decisive about to be done. What can be the use of attempting to conceal from the Russian Generals what scores of spies and deserters report to them every day ? Whatever we happen to know they have known a fortnight before ; but at all events the people of this country ought to know that such is the mortality aid sickness in our army, that though reinforcements are poured in with a profusion utterly unparalleled in history, the army refuses to increase, or to become equal to its position. We shall not now reiterate the reasons which prove that the fault is mainly in the commanders, though, if the excuses made be admitted, and if Lord Rag lan has really undertaken the same amount of work as the French with half their force, and half their facilities of landing and conveyance, he has com mitted the capital error of being outwitted by his ally. Never could there be a more fatal defence than one which admits everything we have said, and adds thereto another charge greater than all the rest put together. For our part, we will not press the indictment so far ; we will content ourselves with indicating the great disorganisation of the army, and demanding that the most vigorous steps shall be taken to reclaim. it, if possible. Let every officer be sent home who is not thoroughly up to his work, and who will not put his whole strength into it. Let reprimands, orders, admonitions, and supercessions be sent out. Since Lord Raglan sends home no information as to the state of his army and the condition of his camp, Government has no choice but to act upon the information con veyed in thousands of private letters, and open to the whole world. With that mass of evidence be fore him, the Duke of Newcastle incurs a most fear ful responsibility if lie allows a good-natured regard for this man's feelings or that man's connections to prevent the discharge of his plain duty to the army and his country. NARROW ESCAP OF LORD CARDIGAN.--Corpora John Robinson, of the 13th Light Dragoons, in a letter addressed to a friend in Doncaster, dated Nov. 2, thus describes the narrow escape of Lord Cardigan in the ca valry charge at Balaklava, and the part he took in his lordship's rescue :—" Just as I was unpriming ono of the enemy's guns, and passing another, there were three pairs of horses in it, and there was ono man mounted on the centre pair : ho was in the act of dismounting when I galloped past hisl and gave him a cut and a draw across the throat, which I thought was the quickest way of getting rid of him. I did not ride many yards further before I saw our commander, Lord Cardigan, very nearly thrust off his horse, and if it had not been for me, the old bey's lie would not have been worth a row of pins. I saved him, for I directly saw a Russian had marked him, for he drew his lance and made at his lordship, but I was too expert for the rascal. I parried the well meant stroke, and then he bolted as if Old Nick was after him,"—Leed§ Mercury. The Press of Saturday contains an enigmatical announcement, in which it speaks of— " Ar. event now i n p rogress , w hich will excite the greatestinterest in Europe." * " It is not to be expected that dynastic considera tions can wholly be excluded from the policy of courts ; and such considerations'` * * will soon assume a shape to demand the gravest deliberation." We do not profess to understand what our ora cular but generally well-informed contemporary means ; but we wish to impress upon our readers the following facts, which in connection with cer tain rumours which have been afloat for some days, we consider may give thesis something upon which they may " chew the cud of bitter fancies" during the recess. The enrolment of the militia has been delayed for more than twelve months after its absolute necessity had become apparent, and is now em bodied for foreign service. Our home recruiting has been " burked "—we can use no other word. Our Government has—to all appearance wilfully—destroyed our army. We use the word advisedly, because, although igno rance and incapacity may be alleged in defence of the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sidney Herbert, no such excuse can be plausibly advanced in favour of Lord Palmerston and some others of the Coali tion. They must have known the inevitable con sequences of their colleagues' blunders. Mr. Sidney Herbert states that he has sent 54,000 men to the Crimea. Now, no one will venture to estimate Lord Raglan's army at more than 24,000 men, in cluding all reinforcements. Whore are the 30,000 Our Government has systematically set its face against all voluntary associations for defence, thus absolutely refusing the people the use of arms even for the protection of their own homes and families. Be it observed that this is the act of a " Liberal Government." The Tories were not afraid to arm the people. In 1813 the number of volunteer cavalry alone amounted to 68,000 ; the local militia, exclusive of the regular force of that description, amounted to 304,000—three hundred and four thousand armed men. Our "Liberal Government" have now got permission from a servile Parliament to enlist, pay, aye, and bring into England by degrees, an indefinitely large force of Belgian and German mercenaries. Surely there can be no connection between these startling facts and the dark inuendos of the Press. If there be any scheme on foot to the fulfilment of which such preparations as we have indicated above can be mad• ancillary, there must be persons somewhere far more foolish and wicked than we ever conceived to bo possible. We do not mean the Ministry, for we are quite aware that they are foolish and wicked enough for anything. The utter falsehood of the alleged necessity for the employment of foreign troops may be gathered from the following statement of the number of armed Englishmen on foot in 1813. We quote from Sir A. Alison . _ Land forces, including the British troops in Men. India Embodied regular militia 93,000 Volunteer cavalry 61,000 Local militia and volunteers _ . Sailors employed on board 102 ships •f the line, 219 frigates, and smaller ♦essels, amounting in all to 613 sail of different sizes Marines. 118,000 13,000 Total 897,800 Nearly 900,000 men. The population of the islands has since increased one-third, and Ministers, for some purpose or another, have the audacity to assert that we must fall back on the employment of Bel gian and German mercenaries. We ask with what end and object ? for we think it is obvious that the alleged necessity is neither more nor less than a downright falsehood.—Morn ing Herald. THE TERMS OF PEACE. (From the Examiner.) It is understood that the indirect negotiations which have been pending at Vienna, and failing which the allies expect the crisis which may lead to more active help from Austria, have definitely failed. What the Czar offers, as might have been anticipated, is not satis factory. We do not profi.ge to be acquainted with the details of these negotiations, but as to the main question which they have broken down we have no reason to doubt the information communicated to us. Agreement even as to the construction of the four points was thought not unattainable, hut it was on the condition required by the allies for the liberation of the Black Sea from the naval and military inculaux of Sebastopol that every hope of accommodation vanished. The Czar will listen to no stipulations limiting his power over the fleet and the fortifications of Sebastopol. Maintaining that each Sovereign must be left to do what he likes within his own territories, and that none can have the right to question his preparations at Sebasto pol, he argues that the Sultan, in like manner, is at full liberty to convert Sinope into a fortress and arsenal, which he may make, if it so please him, as extensive and as formidable as Sebastopol. Such is said to be the reasoning and resolve of Russia; and manifestly, if assented to or acted upon, the change would be merely from open war to a state of antagonism as fatal to the general interests of Europe. Each coun try would he unceasingly engaged in constructing for tresses, training and paying armies, building fleets — always preparing, in short, for no remote hostilities. It would be that most undesirable and most insecure of all things—an armed peace ; for with Russia and Turkey in such attitudes, how could Europe disarm ? Russia would characterise it as not less outrageous to demand of a great power, than humiliating to suck a power to consent that she should limit her number of ships, and cease to make her batteries formidable in any sea. The first maritime countries, however, have not shrunk from entering into stipulations of this kind. England and France made mutual concessions not many years since that each would keep only a certain number of vessels in the waters east of Malta ; and what would seem to have been demanded of Russia was something tantamount. If Russia maintain her great fleet at Se bastopol, England and France must keep a correspond ing fleet in the Black Sea or the Bosphorus ; and suck a state of things would be as expensive and disquieting as war, without any trope of ultimate satisfaction from such resuls as are produced by war. It is idle to set up the point of honour in answer to the demand for a guarantee against aggression. What now must be forced from Russia is the satisfactory secu rity that her future intentions are those of peace. If her fortresses in the Black Sea are to be kept armed to the teeth, Russia still meditates war. Her very de mands prove it, and necessitate a continuance of the existing struggle till material guarantees shall be ob tained for the effective re-establishment of peace. They lie before us in the Crimea, and the first condi tion now, to whatever we may hope hereafter to achieve, must be the completion of that enterprise. It is no longer upon the Danube, but in the Crimea, that tran quillity must be conquered. The line of the Danube is com paratively safe, but after allthat has passed an honourable peace is not possible which would leave Russia possessed of the Tartar province. To do this would be to leave Turkey in a far worse strait than we found her. To de prive Russia finally, decidedly, and by force of arms of the Crimea, is the work we have now, therefore, impera tively to do. We have half accomplished it ;it may take the summer to complete ; tke Sea of .kzeff may have to be entered by vessels fitted for the purpose, and the amount of reinforcements required for the reduction of the fortresses of the mountains, as well as of the batteries of Sebastopol, may be 'larger than we have even yet taken into calculation. But there the great obstacle to peace now lies, and it can be removed only by the sword. As long as the Czar retains the Crim ea he will persevere in his projects against Turkey ; and it is not till we are finally masters of that province that the possibility of peace to Europe can ever be restored. UNI VERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, iJicimßEß 31. The University sermons were preached this day in the morning by the Rev. R. P. Tiddeman, of Magdalen Hall, an d in the afternoon by the Rev. G. Rawlinsen, of Ems. ter College. To-morrow the sermon will be preached by the Rev. W. Bedford, of New College. The Rev. G. Marshall, of Christ Church, will preach on the feast of the Epiphany. The election of a new President at Magdalen College will take place on Friday next. The mode of election is unusual. The Fellows present divide for the purposes of the election into two bodies, one consisting of the 13 seniors present, and the other of the remainder. The members of the latter body vote each for two names, and the two names which, after a scrutiny, are found to have had the largest number of votes given in their favour are then sent ion to the seniors, who decide between them. Laymen and clerics are equally eligible. Exeter College has sent in its scheme to the Royal Commissioners. CAMBRIDGE, DxcElam 30. The trustees of Mr. Hulse's Benefaction give public notice that they will proceed to tho election of a new Christian Advocate in the room of the Rev. J. A. Frere, of Trinity College, on Friday, the 23d of February next, and all the candidates are requested to transmit their names to the Vice-Ckancellor on or before Friday, the 16th of February next. E. GUEST, Vice-Chancellor. R. T&THAM, Master of St. John's College, W. WELENTALL : Master of Trinity College, (From the Pay&) The Emperor's speech has characterised the general situation and the cooperation which the Government expects from the nation with that manly simplicity which is the mark of truth, and that tranquil confidence in the public feeling which is the sign of a popular power. France will find in this noble and firm language the echo of the unanimous opinion of the couniry, and the expres sion of its glory, of its dignity, and of its most legitimate interests. Europe will perceive in it the voice of that , elevated policy which is disengaged from all personal ambition, which devotes itself generously to the inde pendence of nations and the equilibrium of modern States. The enemy will read in it the energetic resolu tion of not laying down the sword until the object in view shall have been completely attained, and the future guaranteed against new disorders. The very reserve of the expression and the moderation of the form add a new force to the fundamental idea. One can comprehend, from this language, exempt from passion, but at the same time so firm and inexorable, that the Government of the Emperor will not yield for a single moment in the great work which it has un dertaken, and for the success of which it has seen the great European powers successively group around it. The means of action will never be wanting to the Go vernment of the Emperor when it asks for them from national patriotism. Should peace not be soon re-estab li,hed, should the obstinacy of the Czar prolong the duration of the war, France will not give way before in) , sacrifice to carry out the policy of the West. Our country is still that powerful nation which for 25 years was able to sustain a victorious struggle against the most terrible of coalitions. France can not forget that at a period when she was torn by factions at home, when her credit was gone, and when she was menaced abroad by the farces of all Europe, she was able to oppose to the enemy 14 armies, and or ganise everywhere the victory. And after twenty years of combats she was still as strong and formidable, and u triumphant as at the beginning. We are at present, thank God ! in more favourable conditions. Europe is no longer with Russia against us, but is with ns against Russia. Our strength is increased tenfold by the co-operation of England, our former rival, and now our loyal friend ; and soon we shall have, we trus, the aid of Austria, whom the treaty of December 2d strongly unites to our cause, and of all Germany, whom all her interests are drawing within tie orbit of the western policy, as yet been in any lities, and the field for - us, as wide as Europe. The aid . moment from Frame, and enthusiasm, is besiL , aow national loan. The army is simply kept up at its pre sent amount. Whilst the Car does not cease ordering extraordinary levies, the contingent of this year will not exceed amongst us that of preceding years ; and in order to render still less onerous the exigencies of the conscrip tion, a bill on military enlistment is about to be brought before the Legislative Body. It is consequently to subsidies that will be restricted at present the sacri fices imposed on the patriotism of the nation. Those subsidies can only be asked for from taxes or loan. The Government of the .Emperor has not hesitated to adopt this latter system. It would not be just to cease the present to support alone the charges of a war, the results of which are to profit above all future genera tions. Is not a loan the most natural system in that point of view ? It must not be forgotten that the rente and all kinds of securities have become exceedingly dis tributed amongst all classes ; that the number of per sons inscribed on the grand•book of the public debt has been tripled since 1848 ; and that the mass of persons operating at present in the public funds is immense. When the loan of 250 millions was announced, upwards of 400 millionsirere . subscribed in a few days, aiifint was found necessary to reduce the general amblitxtly upwards of 40 per cent. At present that the Govern ment asks for 500 millions, the sum will be granted with the same enthusiasm as the bill has been voted by the Legislative Body. Every subscription will be a new manifestation against Russia ; every franc paid to the Treasury will be an additional arm in the hands of the Allied Powers to conquer and reduce to impotence the ambition which, from St. Petersburg, periodically agitates and comprises the interests of Conservative Europe, and will be at the same time a new testimony of the confidence of the country in the Government. We cannot doubt that the 500 millions will be at once sub scribed, for what is such a sum for the whole of France T Let it also be remembered that the subscribers to the first national S loan not only acted patriotically, but advantageously for themselves. Whatever may be the special conditions of the new loan, we are quite con vinced that private persons will find it their interest to take part in it. The future will show if new sacrifices are to be still necessary for the definitive triumph of the cause of European right and for the honour of the national flag. But France, proud of the rank which the straightforward policy of the Emperor assigns her among nations, and confiding in the firmness and wis dom of the Head of the State, will be always ready to respond to his appeal, and to place at the disposal of the Government the immense resources in her possession." y. Our economical interests have not y way affected by the opening of hosti- 'ld of credit, closed to Russia, opens it is productive, on all the market* of I which the Government asks for at this' ince, and which Francs will give with esides realuced to the vote of a ROW COMBINED EXPEDITION AGAINST TEE WEST COAST PIRATES. We are glad to find that Admiral Stirling le now making amends, as far as possible, for the six wee, - spent by him at Japan, and that he seems deterf-16 ,- to proceed systematically and energetically to w • is in accomplishing the destruction of the piratical Beate aloer, the Chinese coast. Never were active proceedings more urgently required, seeing that besides those on the west coast, a formidable fleet is known to rendezvous ad Chusan, and a second is said to be outside the Fut-tow moon, for the purpose of waylaying the northern junks on their passage to this port and Canton. The cargo and passage boats which used to ply daily betwixt Hong Kong, Macao, and Canton, new only venture out four or five in company, and once a week. Two pirate fleets, as mentioned above, have been already destroyed, though unfortunately the crews in both instances effected ; their es ca p e on shore and we understand it i s his excell enc y' s intention to proceed to the west coast immediately with her Majesty's ship Winchester, Sparta, Encounter, Narracouta, and Styx, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's river steamers Canton and Sir Charles Forbes, which have been chartered for that purpose ; and will, it is under stood, be joined by the United states steamer Queen, and the Portuguese frigate, Dom Joao 1., and lorcha Amazona. In this expedition we think it probable Sir James's first visit will be to Heang-shan, which is closely blockaded by a very large fleet (or rather several fleets under different leaders) of west coast junks, whose sole object, it they can accomplish it, is the plunder of the wealthy capital of the district in which Macao is situated, while in the meantime they demand front the husband men in the surrounding country one-half the rice crop as black-mail. Hitherto nothing effectual has been attempted towards the suppression of these mi:icreants, and it is even said that acts of piracy have been committed so close to the shipping at Whampea, that they might have been wit nessed from the deck of the United States ship Mace donia, stationed there. Surely the " non-interference " principle acted upon by foreigners in the internal dis putes of China cannot possibly be construed by one American friends to have reference to sea or river pirates, who prey indiscriminately upon foreigners awl native , ., imperialists and rebels, though it is now doubted by f ?Ay that the Triad leaders aro in direct communica tion with them ; indeed the pirates at Kulan who plun dered the Caldera, were all observed to wear the Triad sash. Some time ago, 13,000 chests of tea were cap tured on the river, and one silk dealer was lately robbed of SlO,OOO worth of raw silk, which, we are told; was subsequently offered for sale to foreigners at $B,OOO. The following comprises the list of piracies reported to the police during the past fortnight : On the 16th of October, a fishing boat was seized near Lintin, and kept till the 26th, when she was released, the pirates having pillaged her of every article of value, and detained three of her crew. On the 22d, a passage-boat was boarded off Cheong sa-wan, and her cargo carried off, consisting of salt fish, saltpetre, opium, &c. A fishing-boat was captured, while sailing off Lintin, plundered of everything of value and then released ; but six unks. p lundered near the three of her crew aw;ar cargo -boat CaOpnsutyb.era2oosuth,by q On the 27th, a fishing-beat was seized while sailing off Shek-pal-wan. On the 29th, a fishing-boat was plundered of Chung chow. A. cargo-boat was plundered near the Cap•suyssoon. On the 30th, a stone-boat was taken about two miles south-west of Green Island. A fishing-boat was seized near Chung-chow. Th• informant escaped with eight men, two women, and two children, in a sampan ; but one man and one woman were carried off. On the Ist November a fishing-beat was sttseked and taken by foir pirate junks in the Cap-Buy-Moon. One of the fishermen was wounded, and th• boat plus• dered. On the 2d two fishing-boats were plundered off Chek• Om. On the 4th a salt-boat was seized in the Fat-tong moon by three junks. The informant and ten others of her crew escaped in a Sampan. A fishing-boat was taken off Chek•chu by a fleet of ten junks. On the sth a fishing-boat was carried off from Chek•chu by two pirate junks.—Ching Mail. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY (IRELAND).-- An extraordinary meeting of the share holders of this company was held in Dublin on Thurs da y , for t he pur pose of having submitted to them a bill p ro p o sed to he introduced next session for making a branch li ne f rom Longford to Strokestown, and one from Athenry to Tuam. Mr. Ennis, chairman of the company, presided, was mo ve d by a s h are . holder to the e and having explained t he altered ci rcumstances which made the directors un willin g to proceed with the pro jects inquestie f f i l ,: re solut ion ct, ``That having reg ar d t o th e so l emn pl e dges given by the directors of the company, it is ex pedient that the hill fur the branch between Atheury and Tuant be proceeded with." After considerable die cession, however, the following amendment was carried, with but two slissentients, viz. :—" Resolved—That in consequence of the present circumstances of the country and the prospects of the money market, it is not prudent to Proceed further with the extensions to Strokestown and to Tuam ; but that a line of railway into the county of Mayo ought to be undertaken by this company so soon as the counties of Roscommon and Mayo shall agree as to the best course for such line, and the state of the money market shall render it practicable.
