He is always bent on stealing noise lessly upon ,his object. This propensity is curiously illustrated in his proceedings with regard to the news paper stamp. We speak not of the merits of this mea sure, but of the manner in which Le has attempted to carry it. Mr. Gladstone's first resolution on this subject as it stood on the notice of motions for Monday last, contained these words :—" To charge on newspapers and printed books and papers transmitted by post, rates of postage not exceeding ene penny for every four ounces ! in weight, and for any fractional part of four ounces." On Monday evening, Mr. Gladstone asked, and was allowed, to have his resolutions passed without discus sion, in the committee of supply, reserving debate on them for the second reading of his bill. The resolutions were accordingly put and carried in committee, nobody attending to their exact phraseology. In the votes of next merning, the resolutions appeared with an im portant alteration in the passage we have quoted above. It ran thus :—"To charge I n newspapers and printed books and papers transmitted by post, rates of postage according to weight." Nor is it in these words alone that "Oxford's 0 .vn " has taken the House of Commons acid the country by surprise in this matter. Mr. Gladstone got his resolutions passed v. ithout oppo sition by professing a wish to have them promulgated, in order that the public might form a deliberate opinion of them. Yet the bill founded on them was introduced and real a first time on the same evening that they were reported. That bill stands on the list of orders to be read a second timo this day ; and yet yesterday, at three p.m., the publisher of the Parliamentary papers had heard nothing of it. The parties most interested in the measure have had no opportunity afforded them of learning its contents. The House of Commons has been inveigled into passing a resolution materially different from that which was presented to it. The country is well quit of such a dexterous Chancellor of tho Exche quer, and will have no wish to see him back in office imposing taxes by tricks of legerdemain before any one knows aught of what he proposes.—Daily News.

PUBLIC HEALTH BILL, 1855.—The atten tion of Ratepayers, Landowners, and Companies throughout the kingdom is called to the following REASON'S against the BILL:— The contents of this extraordinary bill, though perhaps partially known to some of the members of provincial local boards, to which, in connect‘on with the General Board of Health, enormous powers are proposed to be granted, is, it is believed, as yet practically un divulged to the ratepayers, who are to be enot mously taxed under it, and to the owners of lands and streams, which (however important to the enjoyment or use of any man's property) may bo compul sorily taken under the provisions o' this bill. The ratepayers (as cPstinguished from local boards) throughout the country are at present to a very great degree ignorant that in those places where local boars of health now exist, this bill mill saddle them with heavy increased taxaton, to pay off large debts in curred by the wastefulness and inattention of local boards, and that In those places where a local board does not exist, a new and op pressive taxation will arise, which will be felt, at the present time especially, to be intolerable Section 103 removes from Parliament the future considsrati n of several of the most important objects of what has been termed " prl vete legislation," and proposes to give to local board', iv th the sanction of the Court of Quarter Session., the power of acquiring by compulsion land streams and " hereditaments of any tenure," for the following purpose?, namely 1. For Waterworks, including therein land, streams, springs, re servoirs, aqueducts, ruts, engines. machinery, buildings, &c., &c. 2. For Gasworks, including therein any land or easement in re spect of land, with power to use the same for all such works as may be necessary or proper for the purpose. 3.

It is, therefore, no mater of sure rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courteiay's tart to have achieved the reputation he has in this res ;ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

And in addition to the powers to purchase land by compulsion for the foregoing purposes, they may purchase land by agreement for Pleasure-grounds. It is a most singular fact, that after Parliament has, with un doubted wisdom, from time to time, amended its proceedings so as to exclude any apprehension of unconscious local bias from its select committees en private legislation, this bill proceeds at once to ignore that important principle, and sends the landowner and others to the quarter sessions, where, moreover, the expenses will be two or three times as muck as the present expenses before a Parliamentary com mittee. For the purposes beforementioned and others, the local board of health racy mortgage the property o the district (cud the act is ap plicable to every "place" in the kingdom, whether rural or urban) to the extent of two years' assessable value ; in other words, to about one tenth the average value of the land and building property of the country ; and this power of mortgage extends over not only the de scription of property which from its nature admits of being benefited by what are termed "sanitary operations," essentially connected with urban d.ellinas, but also ever agricultural land, gardens, wharves, manufactories, railways, canals, docks, waterworks, gas works, and other undertakings and tenures which from their very nature cannot be so benefited. . . . . By clauses 100 and 103, it is proposed, in effect, to destroy pri vate enterprise in gasworlts and waterworks, and to sal.stitute in its place a system of public action founded on the creation of a debt, similar to the National Debt, in every locality requiring the advantage of such undertakings. In short, to give to boards of health the power of creating, by rap .d degrees, an aggregate mort gage debt of about one hundred millions of pounds under the present bill alone. By these clauses (which, however, are so involved and so ob scurely worded that the legal effect is very difficult to see) it is also proposed in effect to repeal the existing rates, as authorised by Par liament, of all water companies. and to subject their future charges to the uncertainties of local arbitrations, to be rai.ed whenever and as often as the local boards shall think fit ; and likewise to enable local boards so to operate upon water companies as to harass them into the nominally voluntary sale of their undertakings, and even to leave them liable to have their works and property taken by direct cpmpulsion. The local boards are also authorised, under the plea of giving a so. called " gratuitous supply " of water. er in event of a company being unable or unwilling to comply with any purposely monstrous demand of the local board, to construct works of their own, and to enter into competitions with, and of course ruinous to, the companies established in the district. Similar extensive powers are also proposed to be conferred on local boards witk respect to the supply of gas, and over gas companies. By section 91, power is given to the local boards to negative the construe:ion of any house with the size and details of the arrange ments of which it shall disagree. No architect can thus in future fol low his profession except by the permission of a board of health. By section 9b, all "streets," and the word" streets " means all private property along which there is even a private passage, are to vest in, and be managed by, local boards. By section 41, the General Board are to have power to practically impose the operation of the act upon unwilling communities in all cases in which the annual mortality exceeds twenty-three in a thou sand of the population. There are, however, so few towns, or even populous villages, in which this very low rate of mortality does not and will not continue to prevail, that in reality the enforced applica tion of the act may be almost everywhere effected. It is true, the confirmation of Parliament is required to the "pro visional order" to be made for this purpose ; but, as is well known, this limitation affords no secure protection against a flat already absolutely put forth by a Government authority. By section 30, the enormous powers thus proposed to be committed to local boards to deal thus summarily with landowners, and to crush branches of private enterprise, in which many millions of pounds have been freely embarked in reliance on the faith of Parlia ment, arc to be wielded by persons qualified by a fifteen pound a-year assessable value, and elected by the numerical mass of the ratepayers, without reference to the valet of their property or holdings. It is the , efore submitted that the bill ought not to pass into law as it now stands, and that especially it ought not to be e committed, till a sufficient period has been allowed for the country to become more fully acquainted with the large, and, as it is respectfully sub mitted, unconstitutional powers proposed to be granted. It is also respectfully submitted, that in the event of the bill • being committed to the consideration of a select committee, that such committee should be instructed to receive such evidence and statements as may be tendered by the counsel, agents, and witnesses of the numerous private enterprise companies whose property may be destroyed by the bill, and other persons and parties where property and interests are affected by the bill, as the greatest alarm prevails lest (having reference to the bill as it now stands) any alterations which may be made therein in their absence may be found insufficient to preserve the private property of parties, and thus ruin may be en tailed on innum rabic families who have, in full reliance on the faith of Parliament, embarked their earnings in private enterprises. It is to this faith in Parliament that the country owes the engineering science and skill which have produced works (as has been eloquently observed) such as the world never saw. It is now daily asked with increasing anxiety, why these merits s 'errs parties should, ee:stear aftor cession, be racked w►th anxiety lest they ehould be deprived of their private property by the General Board of Health, to whom the Metropolis Water Supply Select Com m•ttee, 1852, for unansweratle reasons (stir in entire force), de clined to give the supervision of the water companies. It is stated by the most experienced persons that neither the Gene rat Ilea - d of Health nor any operation of the Public Health Act, 1848, have been the means of lowering mortality. On the contrary, death in increased amours• seems to have attended their proccedings,which the persons most capable of Judging characterise as alike wastefbl and Inefficient. The machinery under the present bill is even worse than that under the Act of 1848, which has produced such sad and expensiv • results. SUN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, London.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY. A meeting, presided over by the Bayer, was held in the Town-hall here last night, on the subject of the re storation of Poland as an independent nation. The hall was immensely full ; and after the proceedings had been opened by the Mayor, the following extract of a letter was real from Mr. Soholeield, M.P,, excusing his ab sence :—" But I need not say that if you think any assurance of my sympathy with the object of the meet ing can be useful, you have my full aethority to say how heartily I join in the proposed movement. Every day but strengthens my conviction that not only is the re suscitation of Poland preliminary to the successful con duct of the great war, Leif the best, if not the sole guarantee of a lasting peace." Mr. T. C. SALT moved the first resolution, recognising the importance of the restoration of Poland as a nation. He rejoiced (he said) to find that the hearts of his fellow-townsmen were still warm on the subject of the restoration of Poland. There were many per• sons in this country who wanted peace at all cost ; to such he would say,—no pea ;e at the cost of murder ; no peace at the cost of oppression ; no peace at the cost of the liberty and the oppressed of nations. Russia bad taken Poland, invaded Prussia, and laid hands on Fin land. Ye believed that there was so much baseness in the Government of England, that if Russia seized the Isle of Wight, England would submit to it. The nation now came forward with blood and treasure, prcolsircic x felt that the Government had - betrayed them ; and they that a baraer shall be pnt to despotism, and that nations shall be free. This was a mission from which we ought not to shrink ; but whilst our army, even in the midst of the greatest extremity, never turned their backs upon the foe, it was for us at home to take care that all our sacrifices of blood and 'treasure was not made in vain. He asked what all this contest was for—whether it was merely for a bit of parchment treaty, that would leave us where we were t Let who would be sent to Vienna, there was no man, if the voice of the people was distinctly heard, who would dare sign any treaty that would betray the best interests of England. (Cheers.) What were they but the interests of Poland ! The first crime of Russia was the destruction of Poland, and establishing on its ruins despotism. Our first crime was standing by and looking on. (Hear, hear.l We stood while Poland was oppressed, Finland taken, and now Turkey was attacked. We were roused to action a' .ast. Russia must not only be stopped, but she must be driven back. Poland must be restored, Finland given back to Sweden, the Caucasus have indepe n d ence, the Black Sea free, and the Danube open. These were t h e o bj ects, or ought to be the objects, of the war, and he hoped the sword would never be sheathed uctil they had been attained. (Cheers.) Mr. J. M. LANGFORD seconded the resolution, which a na prayin g t e w as seconded by Mr. J. WRIG HT, an d carr i e d unani mously. Mr. Ald. BALDWIN moved that a pe ti t i on t o b o th Louses independence Par liam ent,pii ce for th e res t or ation of Polish formation of a Polish le gion, be adopted, and be entrust e d t o L or d H arrow b y add Mr. Muntz for presentation. H e observed. that a lthough a man of peace, yet, as we were at war, let us try to make the best of it. Th at, he ] conce i ve d , could only be done by restoring Poland to its place amongst the nations as a barrier between the aggressions of Russia and the western nations of Europe. Mr. T. H. GILL seconded the resehition. In the course of a most fervid address, he warned his auditory against placing too great confidence in Lord Palmerston, and he reminded the meeting that the Whigs bad never been friends to the Poles; that in 1794 Pitt, the younger, would have helped them but for Fox and his fri ends ; that in 1330 France, Turkey, Sweden, end Persia, were ready to help the Poles, but Lord Palmerston and the Whigs were hostile ; and in 1849 the noble lord, then Foreign Secretary, refused to recognise the Hungarian envoy. The meeting was subsequently addressed by . Mr. Laba, a Pole, and other gentlemen. The resolutions were carried unanimously, and with much enthusiasm, and the petition to Parliament pray ing for such measures as might tend to restore Poland to a state of independent nationality, was unanimously adopted. THE GREAT PALS H OUSE, KEW. Yesterday a number of gentlemen interested in horti culture, &c. visited the extensive establishment o f Messrs. Wee ks, of King's-road, Chelsea, for the purpose of witnessing the results obtained in the heating of large building., G 0.... , et.vales , z&e., by the introduction of their new apparatus. The visit was rendered the more interesting by the fact that the Messrs. Weeks have pub lished a notice in which they state they are doing as and pits at Messrs. Weeks's much work with one boiler a., is being done with four boilers at Kew, and that with three, or at meet four, of a saying of about 1,1001. such as they have now in use the great Palm-house at Kew could be heated at a cost is fuel and labour of are complete in every department, and per annum. e B n d n . u p w er . del i; measure in length 1,000 feet, while the surface of el a , exposed to the atmosphere is 16,000 feet. The whole consists of con servatories, green-houses, hothouses, an d severa , 1 pits • effecting houses with top and bottom heat, all Appropriated to their several purposes. The length of pipes to heat the whole is but 5,000 feet, and the fuel consumed in 24 hours during the winter months, at a cost of 3s. per day, is 3 sacks of coke, while the boiler requires attention only once in 12 hours, and then but for one hour, thus occupying a man no more than two hours out of the el • -, at a computed cost of Bd. per day. The great Palm 'louse at Kew, measuring in length 355 feet , with a surface of glass ex posed to t h e a tmosphere of e,200 feet, requires 15,000 feet of pipe to heat it, and consumes in 24 hours, during the winter months, 72 sacks of fuel (being two parts coke and one part coal), at a cost of 6/. 12s. per day. The boilers, 12 in Dumber, occupy the whole at tention of two men by day and one by n i g h t, at a cost of about 10s. per day. Until very lately, there were six boilers of various sizes, but all on the same principle, employed at Messrs. Weeks's to heat the different houses and pits, and altnough those boilers were found to be efficient and economical during night years, each doing three times mo re work than the common descrip tion of boiler, recent improvements convinced the in ventors that important results were attainable by sub stituting ore boiler for 6, and now the whole of the es tablishment is heated effectually by one boiler, 5 feet high by 3 feet 6 inches in diameter. The whole of the several houses and pits can be heated at one time or separately, with a full command of heat and regulated at pleasure. Some delay is expected to take place in the departure of the next New York steamer, the Pacific, which is fixed to sail from Liverpool on Saturday, not having yet arrived from America. She is now several days over due, but it is supposed her date of sailing from New York may have been deferred on account of frost • or fog. Tho Duke of Wellington, 131, flag-ship for Rear-Ad miral the Hon. Richard S. Dundas, C. 8., Commander in-Chief of the Baltic fleet, will be taken to Portsmouth as soon as she is refitted for the next campaign, by the Captain of the Fleet (the Hon. F. T. Pelham), who is now cruising in the Exmouth, 90, to test her efficiency. The Lightning steam-vessel, at present at Woolwich, is to be appropriated as a tender to the Duke for the ser vice of the Admiral in communicating with the fleet, and for postal and other purposes.

They were bound to the Govern ment to furnish engines properly constructed, and for a certain time. The contractors are now engaged in making•such alterations in the machinery as to be of a satisfactory nature, and which will take about ten days to carry into effect. The Exmouth, 80, screw, Captain the Hen. F. Pel ham, returned to the Sound on Wednesday from her trial kip. The results are said to be most unsatisfactory ; she rolls terribly ; her mainyard broke off short, and all the crockery in the cabins, &c., smashed. Nothing that possessed the slightest liberty could be kept in its place. Her steam machinery is said to be all out of order. The Majestic, screw, 81, Captain Hope, C. 8., hauled out of No. 3 dry dock, Sheerness, on Tuesday. • Yester day preparations were made to haul her into the stream. She has taken in a fortnight's provisions for her crew, who will be drafted to her immediately she gets' Out. She i. onfirely in thn hands of flea o.nrinooro week and she will be fit for sea. The Cressy, screw, 81, Captain Warren, is sneered off Sheerness, with her topgallantmasts housed, ready for sea. The Russell, 60, block-ship, Captain Scott, was under the sheers yesterday at Sheerness, hoisting in her three high-pressure engines, each 11 tons. They are working at her night and day; and in spite of the inclement state of the weather, her rigging, kc., progresses fast. The boilers in question are heisted in end on, to go down the hatchways easier, when by another tackle on the centre they cant and go into their places. The Imperieuse, 51, screw, Captain R. B. Watson, has hauled over from the coal depot to alongside her berthing hulk, Victorious. The Amphion, screw, 36 guns, Captain Key, is at Sheerness. Preparation has been made to haul her out to-day, when she will go under the sheers and whip her new masts on board. The rigging is all ready, and she has a fine crew, who will soon get her ready in that de partment. The machinery is the oily thing that will detain her, but they are working at her night and day. The Horatio, screw frigate, Hon. Captain Cochrane, is moored over on the west shore. All her guns are gone to Chatham, and will he supplied, we hear, by two Lan caster mortars. In consequence of the ice this ship was in distress latterly for bread, which, however, was got off yesterday. The Pylades, screw corvette, 22, Captain G. E. D'Eyncourt, is still in Sheerness basin ; she progresses fast both in rigging and machinery department. Every possible despatch is being given to get this smart vessel ready for sea. The Desperate, screw, 8, Conasaander R. White, is in No. 1 dry-dock, Sheerness. Her bottom is not at all injured, and she will haul out this week. The slight defects are in the pipes, which are a little corroded, &c. She is only partly manned, with her topmasts struck. The Driver, paddle, is surrounded with huge masses of ice, off Sheerness. Yesterday afternoon she was hauled through it. She will go into No. 3 dry-deck, to have her bottom overhauled, as she has been on shore several times whilst in the Baltic service. _ _ The Porcupine, steamer, Commander Jackson, is in the harbour at Sheerness, waiting orders, &c. The Lizard, paddle, Lieut. Christopher, is in Sheer- AIMS harbour, making good her defects, &c. The Janus, paddle, Lieut. Kane, is also in the harbour, waiting orders, cite.

SHEERNESS DOCKYARD. We hear the whole of the riggers in her Majesty's yard, Sheerness, have been examined by the doctor, all of whom, above 60 in number, have been found fit for sea service, with the exception of about halt a dozen. They aye a fine, active gang of seamen, and if drafted into the navy will be a great acquisition, as they must be thorough masters of seamanship ; otherwise they would not be retained here. MISCELLANEOUS. Rear-Admiral Plumridge hoisted his flag yesterday, and assumed the duties of superintendent of Devonport dockyard. A court-martial assembled on board the Impregnable, guard-ship, yesterday morning, for the trial of Captain Story, of the Harrier, for running his ship ashore. It is rumoured at the professional clubs that Captain Beauchamp Seymour ill to command one of the floating batteries now in course of construction. A portion of the Naval Coast Volunteers are to be called out mad embodied ; they are to receive large bounties to induce them to join her Majesty's service, in order to man the fleet of gun-boats, mortar vessels, and floating batteries for the spring campaign in the Baltic. _ _ An Ordnance survey has been made of the east coast of Scotland, with a view to the more exposed places being put into a state of defence. Batteries are t• be erected at Aberdeen and Peterhead, and small forts are to be manned at some other points on the coast line. We hear that among the candidates for the vacant situation of the superintendent of the mail packets at ljoutharnpton are Sir Edward Belcher, who fully in tended to discover the North-Western passage, and Captain Dacres, who should, and who undoubtedly in tended to, have kept order in the crowded little port of Balaklava. We believe that Captain Dacres is likely to be the favourite. The Telegraph hired steam-transport, No. 184, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning for the Crimea, with coffee and other victualling stores and bale goods for the troops. Assistant Staff Surgeon Peacock went in her to take charge of the ear dri vers. Major Oualci.i Simpson declined a passage in this vessel, the state of which we have before reported. A. Russian prize (the ship Rapide, 441 tons register) seized in the Mersey two months since, under simulated papers, was sold at Liverpool yesterday, by public auc tion by Messrs. Curry and Co. The first kid was 800/., and she was iltimately knocked down to a Norwegian gentleman, named Bertimekaw, for 1,325/. Her dimen sions are—length, 109 feet ; breadth, 20 feet ; and depth, 19 feet. She was built at Jacobstadt in the year 1840. THE FLEET OFF SEBASTOPOL. The following is an extract from a letter from an officer in the fleet off Sebastopol, Feb. 5 :—" Princess Royal just arrived from England ; blowing strong ; not safe to communicate witk each other by boat. The St. Jean d'Acre and Princess Royal add snuck to the fighting look of the off squadron, and the big Albert looks very knock•me-downisb. Report is busy again, and the last yarn is that Sir Edmund will have a hammer at the forts, if it is only to create a little diversion. From the Rus. sian outworks, now all their best gunners (mostly sailors) are in the advance earthworks, the ships drawing off will recall many of these men, and cause a Lit of a ner vous sensation to Mr. Osten Sacken besides. The Snake arrived yesterday from Kertch, where she bad been on a reconnoitring expsdition. She grounded under the forts, and had a smart fire on her for two hours, but her Lancaster gun, with the whistling shell, did good work, and caused the firing from the shore to become wild, and eventually, when she came off, the forts had ceased to return the fire. Tho Snake had towed: Dutch ship from under the point the day before, the captain of which ship was left behind at Kcrtch. He was allowed to come off after the Snake left, and reports that her shell killed 50 Russians. This is the Russian report. " The icertch peepl3 seemed to think the Snake would be an easy prize, for they manned several large brats, and pushed off to take possession, previous to their hear ing the music of the Lancaster shells. Ono shell (a can. non round one) unmanned the boats in a marvellously short tires, killing 17 men. These vessels in smooth water are wicked craft. The Wrangler is gone to Od e ssa ; the 'Viper to Eupatoria. The rest of therewith fleet, e xcept t he Leopard, in the straits of Kertch, are the admiral, and quite ready and willing to begin to do some gunnery. Weather bitterly cold." The French exchanges continue with a firm appear ance, and there is no demand for gold for transmission lrom this side, (From the Times of this day.) The arrangements occasioned by the recent vacancies in the Cabinet have net yet transpired, if, indeed, they are completed ; but we have reason to believe that some of the attempts made to replace the late Ministers have not been successful. Mr. Cardwell not only does not accept the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, but ho pre fers t) share the fate of that small political section to which he belongs, and he vacates the Board of Trade, following the example of his colleagues with more fidelity to their decline than they had shown I. his ad vancement. Among the new appointments the names of Lord Elgin, Mr. Baines, Mr. Lowe, and Sir Corne wall Lewis have been mentioned, but we have no positive information as to the offices which these gentlemen arc intended to fill. We presume, however, that when Lord Palmerston meets the House of Com m ons this ; evening he will feel the necessity of announcing to Par- liament and the country that his Administration is once more complete. Although Lord Palmerston's Government has existed for barely a fortnight, it has already undergone an essen tial transformation. Lord Palmerston accepted. a reversionary interest in the late Coalition, and the Ministry he presented to the acceptance of the Crown and the approval of the nation differed in only two material points from that which had just been over thrown by the will of the Legislature. That combina tion was, as the result has shown, already effete, and the very first trial to which the Cabinet was exposed dissolved its union, and deprived it of the services of several of its members. But, though this circumstance completed the destruction of the Government which had already' lost its hold on the House of Corunione`and the country, it placed Lord Palmerston in a far more ad vantageous and commanding position.. Instead of ga kb...;..g ' r +ha C. , ..gmenta of the 101.. CluvorO merit he has now to construct a new one, and it rests entirely with himself and his colleagues to determine the strength and novelty he will impart to such a combina tion. The use he may make of this opportunity will be the decisive criterion in the eyes of the country of his ability as a First. Minister, for, if he confines himself to an attempt to fill the highest posts in the State by men taken from a narrow coterie, whose names are already familiarised to the public by their previous failures, it is evident that such a Ministry cannot last many weeks, and that it will be succeeded by the accession of Lord Derby and his friends to power. We have been accused of late of a blind and indis criminating hostility to the aristocracy of this country, yet nothing can be further from the truth. We do not for a moment dispute the well-earned influence and fame of men born in the highest ranks of society, and trained to the service of their country, to which class many of the first of English statesmen and warriors undoubtedly belong. But we complain with justice that a title or family influence should become an apology for mediocrity, and that the highest posts in the state, which demand the highest talent in the nation, should be occupied by men who seem to be even uncon scious of the duties they undertake to perform. At the same time, the popular constituencies of this country have much to answer for in the men whom they have selected for their representatives. Want of time, want of ability, want of courage, are continually alleged even in that class of politicians from whom the queen has a right to select the executive Ministers of the country ; and it is a deep reflection on the House of Commons, as at present constituted, that it contains so few men on either side able to surmount and willing to confront the real difficulties of public affairs. The disappearance from the Treasury bench of three or four of the best Parliamentary debaters renders it absolutely indispen sable to the Government to supply their places with effi cient men. Upon the success of that attempt the exist ence of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet depends, and the experiment can only be made to succeed by a bold de termination to seek for talent beyond the beaten tracks of official life, among the industry and intelligence of the country. THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. The Ordnance estimates for the ensuing financial year 1855-56 were published yesterday. The total amount that will be required for the effec tive services is stated to be 7,610,3851., and the total amount for the non-effective services, 197,6571., making a grand total of 7,808,0421. This is an increase of 1,821,330/. on the estimates of the year 1854-55, which amounted to 5,986,6621. The items of the estimates of the sum required for the effective service are as follows, viz. :-1,117,8331. for the pay allowances, and contingencies of 22,346 officers, non commissioned officers, and men, composing the several Ordnance military corps ; 1,406,883/. for com missariat and barrack supplies for her Majesty's forces, greatcoats for the army, and clothing for the i3,604t. ior the ordnance office ; 303,149 t. tor ordnance establishments at home and abroad ; 368,972/. fir the wages of artificers, &c., at home and abroad ; 2,792,348/. for ordnance stores for land and sea services ; 1,337,5001. fer work, buildings, and ,repairs at home avid al,road ; and 153,196/. for the scientific branch. The item of 1,117,8331. fir pay.and allowances is tlin3 subdivided— viz., 776,240/. fur pay ; 97,535/. for additional pay (for length of service and good conduct) ; 37,716/. for allow slices ; 54,028/. fur clothing ; 3,204/. for hospital ex penses ; 751/. for divine, service, ; 1,6321. for libraries and schools ; 20,6371. for movement of troops ; 1160321. for recruiting ; 8,.3261. for agency ; 5001. for rev,imeatal savings-banks ; and . 1,232/. for miscellaneous charge F. The charge for each corp, exclusive of heads of service, which cannot be appoi Coned, is as follows :—viz., Royal Engineers, 123,007/. ; Royal Sappers and Miners, 81,1701. ; Regiment of Artillery, 684,8031. ; Royal Horse Artillery, 58,8841. ; Ridin,g-house Troop, 2,1071.; Master-gunners, 4,1021. ; Field Train Department, 9,1671. ; and Medical Department, 12,7371. The charge fur cloShing,.ansoutits to 523,0301., and in cludes the following items, viz., 215,0001. for greatcoats for the army ; 80,000/., for " fatigue" clothing for militia ; 90,0001. for the clothing of the "Foreign Le gion ;" and 120,000/. for warm and waterproof clothing and articles for the troops, and for summer clothing. The charges for commissariat and barrack supplies amount to 123,0931. and 760,760/. respectively. The charge of 2,792,349/. for " stores," includes 800,000/. for the supply and repair of small arms ; 40,0001. for the small arm factory at Enfield ; 235,1341. for iron ordnance, shot, and shell ; 1,448,2471. for the purchase of ordnance stores of all kinds at the Tower and Woolwich ; 125,000/. to complete the huts for 50,000 men to be erected in garrisons at Aldershot ; 36,270/ for accoutrements and colours for militia ; 50,0001. for accoutrements and knapsacks for the Foreign Legion ; 42,300/. for packing, freight, and carriage of arms and stores, &c. ; and 11,234/. for the building and repair of ordnance vessels, boats, and the supply of sails. The charge for works and buildings includes au item of 30,000/. for the defences of Dever and the coast of Kent ; 60,0001. for a new barrack at the western heights of Dover ; 48,170/. for improving the fortifications of the Chanuel Islands ; 24,163/. for new barracks at Devonport ; 39,047/. for additional barracks at Cam bridge ; 61,0001. for barracks at Gosport ; 10,0001. for the defences of the coast of Sussex ; 49,597/, for the defence of commercial harbours ; and 250,000/. for new barracks at Aldershot. These sums are only those re quired for the year, and ley no means represent the gross total expense, which will have to be provided for here after. There are numerous items of sums required for the erection of forts and batteries. The amount required for works and buildings at home is thus divided, viz. 295,2151. for fortifications, 109,999/, for civil buildings, and 623,6241. for barracks. The charge for the scientific branch includes 122,000/. for surveys in the United Kingdom ; 27,9751. for the military academy at Woolwich, and 6,109/. for the establishment at Chatham for instructing engineers, &c. The expense of unforeseen and urgent services un provided by Parliament, but authorised by the Treasury, up to the 31st of Dec. last, amounted to 100,8191. It will now be seen that the grand total amount of the army, navy, ordnance, and transport estimates for the ensuing year is 37,427,003/. ; viz., 13,721,155/. for the army, 10,716,338/. for the navy, 5,181,465/. for the transport service, and 7,808,0421, for the ordnance department. MIRACLE AT BALAKLAVA. A letter from Balaklava, of tho Ist inst., con tains the following : The i happy harbour p prevention ti here,oti of the th great e 2 ir s t uy nit., gunpowder rs e acci dentha g to an amulet of a Russian deserter--a Polish Jew ~w At least, so he himself positively affirms, thus .—s, and . be is theis really believed by a few. The story runs report spread through the town that the transport Arabia was on fire, an d it was expected every moment that the Star of the West, which was lying alongside with a heavy cargo of a mmunition on board, world be blown up if the fire spread in the least, a Polish Jew rushed down to the wa ter, and tearing a piece of p ar chment, on which. a circle and a double triangle were inscribed, from his neck, he gave it to a sailor, imploring him to tie it to a piece of the burnt wood of the vessel, and to throw it into the flames without loss of time. This the sailor did, whilst the Jew himself drew a picture of the burning ship on the beach with a stick, and commenced walking slowly round it, at the same time repeating sonic mysterious cabalistic sentences. After walking round his drawing three times, he cried : The fire ii cursed now, and utterly Larrnless This he could a - skrt pretty confidently, as already during his second walk round the circle, the vessel had made signal that the fire had been checked and was speedily being wholly put out. I will not say that the Pole understood what the transport was telegraphing, but his quick and sun ning soon detected by the exclamations of the bystand ers that the news were good, and he made his prophetic speech accordingly. He now demands as a reward for the miracle he wrought a large sum of money, his liberty, and a public return of thanks by the whole English army. The closing accounts from the Paris Bourse last even ing, present a reaction of not quite a quarter percent. from the sudden improvement of Wednesday. At Vienna there ie Still much heaviness. THE NEW MINISTERIAL MIMS. There were various rumours late last night as to new anticipated changes in the Government, and also with regard to the way in which the vacancies which have oc curred are to be filled up. We will not repeat these ru mour:, because we could not learn that anything definite and final had taken place ; but we may state that we were again assured that Mr. Cardwell had resigned the Presidentship of the Board of Trade, and that Lord Can ning was hesitating as to whether or not he ought to resign the Post-office and his seat in the Cabinet. We are sorry that Lord Palmerston does not, by any means, seem duly impressed with the importance of getting the mist competent men into his Government. We do not allude to those offices only to which seats in the Cabinet are attached; we allude equally to other but still very important situations, which, if properly filled, would greatly strengthen Lord Palmerston's Govern ment. Mr. Macgregor, the member for Glasgow, would, for example, be an invaluable acquisition in various im portant offices in the Government. How happens it that the new Premier does not avail himself of that hon. gentleman's extensive and singularly -accurate knowledge of the various questions connected with trade, commerce, and finance Sir Robert Peel proved his high apprecia tion of Mr. Macgregor's vast amount of information, and great aptitude for business, by 3 onfiding to him the onerous and important duty of getting up and arranging the details of the celebrated free trade measures of 1845. In fact, Mr. Macgregor may, in a sense, be said to have been the author of these measures. We therefore repeat the question—Why should the country be deprived of the services of such a man ?—ifonting Advertiser. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of busi ness. _ The LORD Mktoß said that he had received a letter from the Bishop of London, as follows : " London-house, Feb. 21, 1855. "My dear Lord,—Does not your lordship think that there ought tube a specialYcollection made for the suffering poor of London at this inclement season ? It might, per haps, be administered through the Association for the Re lief f Destitution in the Metropolis, which would insure its safe and judicious distribution.--C. J. LONDON." He (the Lord Mayor) had latterly opened as many as 600 letters from persons in distress, and in many cases ho had found that the writers were in a deplorable con dition. Under these circumstances he hoped that a mo tion would be made by some member of the court for a grant of money for the relief of the poor. (Hear.) Mr. Deputy DOWER, after some statements relative to the abject destitution of the coalwhippers and their families, moved that 5001. be granted by the curt to wards their relief. A discussion ensued. Several mem bers objected to the 5001. being appropriated to the relief of a particular class, and ultimately the following amendment, proposed by Alderman Kennedy, was car ried : " That tho um of 1,0001. be voted for a general fund for the relief of the suffering poor of the City of London, inclusive of the coalwhippers and fellowship porters ; and that this sum be placed at the disposal of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee ; and that the public generally be invited to contribute to the amount to be distributed ; and that the etatiliug order be suspended on this occasion." PRESIDENCY O➢' CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. The committee appointed on the 18th of May last to examine what measure"; if any, should be taken by the court relative to the right of the governors of Christ'g flospi±al to elect other thin an alderman for their pree-i -dent, submitted to the court the following opinion of eminent counsel : " CHRIST'S HOSPITAL-TFIE PRESIDENT. "Upon comparison of the bye-laws with the not of Par liament, our impression is that the usuage which has pre vailed both before and since the act, furnishes the true criterion of eligibility ; and if so, none' other than an ablerman of London is qualified to be elected President of Christ's Hospital. " Wo have had some difficulty in determining what is the proper course of proceeding to raise the question, but, upon the whole, seeing that the act of Parliament con firming the agreement recognises the President as a sub stantive officer, having the duty of examining, approving, and signing the leases, his office is one fort which a quo warranto will lie, and that is the course of proceeding which we advise.—(Signed), FITZROY KELLY, JAMES WILLES. Temple, Jan. 9, 1855." ' Deputy BOWER moved that, tie opinion of counsel having been obtained, the solicitor be directed to apply next term for a quo warranto to try the question, pur suant to the opinion of counsel. Deputy HOLT seconded the motion. After some discussion, it was found that according to the standing orders of the court it was necessary to give formal notice of a motion of this nature, whereupon the further consideration of the matter was postponed till the next court day. The court then adjourned. As .seon as the court had decides) upou granting the 1,0001. for the relief of the distresses coal-whippers and others in the city, the Lord Mayor summoned the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, to whom the distribution of the money was confided, to meet at the Mansion-house at half-past seven o'clock. They accordingly met, and made preliminary arrangements for carrying out this benevolent object forthwith. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS.A.LL'S.-TIILIZSDAY. The continuance of frost is likely to restrict turf specu lations to a very limited range for some time to come. The only transactions in reference to the Liverpool Steeplechase, which is appointed to take place or the 28th inst., were two or three small bets at the rate of 11 to 8 that it will not come or at all next week.

A. strong demonstration was again made in favour of Grmenlus Esuriena ; and 1,000 to 40 WWI taken twice about Flatterer. Saraband reappeared at 1,000 to 30, and two •r three ponies were invested on Rambling Katie at 45 and 50 to 1.
