"i (From the Times of !3,:s day.) will have a clean sweep of all those who have brought her to the present pass, and yet have the surpassing impudence to essay to govern her. As Mr. Coppock, however, and his employers are on the look-out, so let our Conservative friends, who may depend upon it that they will be wel comed warmly by a country which has nothing to fear and everything to hope from their return to power ; who have no apologies to offer, no falsehoods to tell, in order to screen and mislead ; and who will calm down that excite ment which Lord Palissersbn and his disgraced and des perate faction are, either consciously or unconsciously, fanning into revolution ! NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal George, screw, 102, Captain Cedrington, is in Sheerness basin. She has taken in her lower deck guns, and will most probably at once take is her others where she now is, as, in consequence of the ice, it is quite impracticable to open the caisson. As soon, how ever, as the thaw takes place, out she is to go into the stream, when her bands will turn over to her from the barracks in the yard. The Extnouth, 91, screw, Captain Hon. F. Pelham, left Devonport on Monday for a few days' cruise. The Cressy, 81, Captain Warner, is in the stream at Sheerness, ready for sea at a moment's notice. The Russell, 61, block-ship, is in the basin at Sheer ness, and mechanics working at her day and night. The Sir Charles Napier and another barge were towed down here on Sunday from Blackwall, containing her three boilers, which are of the round high-pressure build, but in consequence of the ice they are now in the basin, as it is impossible to open the caisson to allow them in, and they are too heavy to cart round to tice shears, which are indispensable ix hoisting them on board. Every possible facility is being given to bring her forward. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, completed the adjustment of her compasses at Portsmouth yesterday, and is re-shipping her stores. At PortsMOuti;, yesterday, the Retribution, 28, paddle frigate, Captain Fisher, was taken into the steam basin to receive new boilers and refit. The Cruizer, 17, screw, Commander Hon. H. Doug las, arrived at Devonpo r t o n M on d a y. H er d e f ects are to be made good there. The Conflict, 8, screw, Captain Coming, arrived at Devonport en Monday, to make good defects. The Desperate, 8, screw, Commander R. White, Sheerness basin, sent a telegraphic despatch to the Ad miralty for orders to allow her to be hauled into No. 1 dry dock, to have an overhaul of the tubes in the bottom, dLe. The Centaur, 6, paddle•frigate, Captain Clifford, hauled under the shears and shipped her masts. The Driver, 6, paddle, is in the stream at Sheerness. She is to be decked to have a look at her buttons, as soon as practicable, but at present, on account of the ice, that is impossible. . - The BaAli-k, G, paddle, Commander Jenner, went into the north dock, Portsmouth, yesterday, for examination. Rhadamanthus, paddle, store ship, Master Comman der Belam, hauled out of the steam basin, Portsmouth, yesterday, and in warping out into the stream the wind caught her quarter, which caused her to foul the iron caisson, in the north dock, which carried away about 20 feet of her bulwarks abaft the paddle box on the port side. She sailed for Woolwich at 3 o'clock. APPOINTMENTS. Mate J. S. Tonkin, from the Majestic, to the Medusa, 4, steam gun-boat, at Woolwich. Second Master John R.

The causes to which the failure of our recent military operations in the Crimea have been attributed are mani fold. Every speaker or commentator, in Parliament or out of it, examines the subject by the light of his own pre vious ideas or prepossessions. According to one, the doc tors have been to blame ; according to another, the tran sport service. A third will tell yea that all Lord Raglan, humanly speaking, mil( bo expected to accomplish was to keep a register of the thermometric changes in the neigh bourhood of Balaklava amid the corpses of his former le gions. A fourth will have it that the Duke of Newcastle was bound not only to remit stores to Balaklava harbour, but to take such precautions that the unfortunate men fir whose use they were intended might have reaped the bene fit of his labours and his foresight. The aristocratic cha racter of our service did all the mischief—or the dispropor tionate partition of the work—or the crass incapacity of the motley Staff —or, finally, the inclemency of the seasons and the act of God. Wo believe that the disappearance of the British forces lately in leaguer before Sebastopol is due to this one cause, which embraces all others—that there has not been a single man in the high commands either at home or in the Crimea who was a master in the art of war. We say that it has been proved that neither Lord Ragl an, nor the Duke of Newcastle, nor Mr. Sidney Herbert, has shown himself competent to organise the steps of a campaign in the Cabinet, nor to carry them in to effect in the field. They failed with the best intentions, just as we should fail if we set about the composition of an oratorio for the next Norwich Festival, or of a pic ture for the next Exhibition of the. Royal Academy. We should fail in such tasks not only because we are devoid of the inspiration which constitutes musical or pictorial genius, but because we should be found deficient in the mere technical rules of thorough bass and perspective. A blue riband athwart the breast does not make a mart a councillor, any mere then a red coat and a decoration or two will imply talents for high military command. The illustrious personages just named have failed in their ope rations—have allowed the armies of England to slip through their fingers into an unlaurelled grave—through absolute ignorance of the trade they professed. What ever Lord Raglan may have been in subordinate commands under the orders of the Duke of Wellington, forty years have elapsed since he obtained his distinctions; and, un fortunately, it is more easy to forget than to acquire. There is no suggestion that our War Ministers at home, either recent or present, ever learned their trade ; or, indeed save we except Lord Paamure's peaceful service at the War-office that they ever had an opportunity of learning it. When the whole chapter of prevarication, shuffling, excuse , and declama tion aeaiust everybody who has dared to censure their acts had been exhausted, it is impossible to extract from it any valid argument in favour of those who despatched a large British force upon an expedition against a formid able fortress in the a ututnnwithout baying provided for the contingency of a winter campaign. It was surely on the cards that the walls of Sebastopol might net fall down as the walls of Jericho fell of old before the blast of horn anti trumpet, and, if the meditated assault was to be converted into a siege, surely the troops engaged in it must be victualled, lodged, and clothed in some form or other. This is what was not done. Had it been done the mor tality before Sebastopol would have been reduced to a small fraction of the actual loss. These who approved the policy of the expedition are not to be blamed because our War Ministers and Generals placed and retained our troops before the town without food, shelter, medicine, or clothes. The probability is, that had a corporal's guard from the Coldstreams been directed against the windmill on Wimbledon-common, and had it been so handled, the corporal and his men would have perished by a fate similar to that of the late British army before Sebastopol. Now, had England bean a country which had re mained in a state of profound peace for the last forty years there might be some excuse for ignorance of their profession, such as our war councillors and military chief tains have recently displayed. Had there been no oppor tunity for gaining military knowledge we should have had no right to be critical upon first failures. Where all are blind the choice of a guide is but an affair of chance. But it so happens that there is not a nation existing on the sur face of the globe which has enjoyed such ample opportuni ties of acquiring military experience as England—not France in Algeria—not Austria in Lombardy—not Russia in the Caucasus. British India should supply us with a crop of practised soldiers for European use, but we will have none of them. The letters " H.M.S." stand in the light of the letters " H.E.1.C.5." " What ! ask the miser able hirelings of a trading firm"—we presume we must stretch the facts—" to take the command over the Queen's officers ! Perish twenty armies before each an indignity as this !" Besides, of what does the public complain ? Can anything be more gallant than the manner in which our high-born officers ride their horses en the first signal against parks of artillery on the blaze ? Can any conduct be more worthy of admiration than that of the British soldier, true and f i lithful even unto death in the flooded trenches and oh the chill bivouac ? Alas for that burning bet misdirected courage ! Alas for that touching but useless fortitude ! The one and the other are equally thrown away, or serve but to add to the enduring indignation with which every man must think of so dismal a tragedy as the one Isidore Sebas topol. Had these fearless horsemen, had these brave, pa tient soldiers, been but intrusted to the care of competent generals, they would not have fallen in a manner so useless to their country, so fearful to themselves. England has at her disposal the means of instructing her officers in something more than regimental duties, but she will not use them. Generals who do not understand the art of war must be employed, and those who do understand the art of war must not be employed, owing to the insane and suicidal distinction which has been maintained between the Queen's and the Company's service. To officers who have gained experience we deny employment—to those who would gain experience the means of obtaining it. Time and custom blind us to absurdities ; but let us view our own practice by a comparison of what might be in the French service if in military matters the French were not a wiser and more practical people than ourselves. Suppose, then, our French friends to maintain a wall of ice between the Emperor's and the Algerine service, and what would have become of the French army before Sebastopol ? We will answer the question, as all our readers will answer it at once,—they would have been festering in hospitals or rotting in their unhonoured graves, even lika our poor countrymen. Take a list of French officers now employed before Sebastopol and strike out the Algerine heroes—from Canrobert, Bcsqust, Pelissier downwards,—who remains ? General Peel put it well to the house on Monday night,— "It was said we had no able Ganarals and no competent Staff. Why, did not the house believe that it was our own fault ? Did they not believe that these mon who made such good regimental officers would make equally good generals, and equally competent Staff officers ? To coin plain under such circumstance would be as if a man who kept only a gig should turn round upon his servant and complain because ho could not drive four-in-hand." The British colonies are so many gigs, British India our four in-hand ; but we will not choose our long stagers from that box. Was not Arthur Wellesley styled a General of Sepoys ? (Front the Morning Herald of this day.) It will not do, and Lord Palmerston knows it. He has proved himself not the man for the hour and the work. He may well look harassed and disconcerted, for he feels that he is being roughly told the truth in the house, night after night, on each occasion more sternly. What did he undertake to do? To reconcile an infuriate country—infuriate thongh quiet- to the reversal of its judgment; who, having said, we will not have these men to rule over us, are jauntingly told that they shall. The clique, however, are crestfallen, for they also find that the thing will not do. The sweetest arrangements have been made, but, unfortunately, with out eonsulting the party chiefly concerned—the country ; and on Monday night symptoms, not to be mistaken, ap peared of an approaching defection of some of their staunch adherents. It is " the old, old story," the same men, the same ped dlingdneasures, a mere incarnation of red-tapery. But the thing is worn out. It is among the things that are gone ; but Lord Palmerston likes it after all, or is made to ap pear to like it. He cannot change measures, because he has not changed men ; for the slightly-variedaspec; of the preseut Government, as compared with the same Govern ment under the Earl of Aberdeen, would seem like a de tected thief cutting off his whiskers, and sticking on a pair of moustaches, in the very presence of the policeman approaching to arrest him. So Lord Palmerston, before the broad fierce eye of the country, cuts off an earl and a duke, and pops in—Panmure and Peel. We have weaned Lord Palmerston from the first, that he might find, sooner than he dreamed of, that in his case vaulting ambition had o'erlesped itself, and in rendering other combinations impossible, in order to secure his own primacy, he has only demonstrated the short-sightedness of the attempt. What the country wants at this moment is, as we in our consciences believe, to see the Earls of Derby and Ellen borough, aid Mr. Disraeli promptly installed in power, and inaugurating changes which the present men have al readymuseveryday—everyt e shownome soonert h emosree hour—isl later, s uincapablande eb sooner y e ° o f pnr d ee o rc i it n oh g ue . a b. e T wt o t ee ry this ;e r fori il verily tp b tqf oihau e vr l iabietcietei Government teyeo werehy a tht if aehtdrot a neram:s ttiweb t h e heept en L t pgfe o : uoio rd P almerston whotul aiengyi al tetyhas usen di er werwha s p tn n satisfaction. cmasheteern a oht—nha gdver rising w uibns n s te he d c z g i 0 r n v c a a e e i n elnnt g o t f wp t ri perpetrated rus d plp s edot w nkr as o ni t u boe l le know during the last twelve months, having no motive for eon anfian di e councils of e an cealment, bat rather eve r y mo ti ve f or a most searching in vestigation ; and at the s a m e ti me th e w ill an d the power to turn over tbhlinstantly that e Mini s ters vyh e eve r y t night, newg t will leaf in thatt he Lord u o nceimlso Palmerstonr the d country.m mo r e ir re eforesee intrat :a will lose his temper, taot, and presence of mind in propor tion to his perception of the disheartening fact that he is in a false and untenable position. But he is not the only party that can get angry. The house is getting angry, and all the angrier because it sees the country getting so angry that it is almost inclined to lend its ear to revolutionary teachings. If Messrs. Cobden and Bright had not lost their popu larity by their un-English sentiments about the war —had they sympathised with the people, the country would have been by this time in the flames of agitation from John e'Groat's to the Land's-end. But these trained and veteran agitators are not wanted. The agitation is beginning ; and the fatal foolery of Lord Palmerston, in sticking to the old men and the old measures, is only adding fuel to the fire which will quickly consume him. Lord Palmerston, we have some reason to believe, is meditating a coup d'etat—a dissolatien. A dissolution ! what for? To return the Peelite faction?

The Moniteur contains the following report to the Emperor from the Minister of Finance : Sire—At the moment at which the budget of 1856 is about to be submitted to the deliberations of the Legis lative Body, I ask your Majesty's permission to place before you, according to custom, a summary account of the two principal elements of the general situation of finances—l mean the budgets and the floating debt, or, in other terms, the deficits (decouverts) of the Treasury, and of the variable resources by means of which they are provided for. To give a complete idea of this situation, it is indispensable to recall to mind some facts already old, relative to accounts closed and settled ; and to in dicate the certain or probable results of the year 1853, the accounts of which are in course of being settled ; of the year 1854, which is being liquidated ; of the year 1855, which is beginning ; and of the budget of 1856, which is only a project. The deficits from the budgets previous to the revolu tion of February, 1848, only amounted in appearance to the sum of 581,388,165 f., but in reality they amounted to nearly 800,000,000 f., for it has not been forgotten that 202,316,175 f., taken from the Savings Banks and employed in the expenses of the state, though converted into rentes, did not the less remain liable to be called for by the depositors who had not consented to that trans formation of their securities. I must hasten to say that the mass of these deficits, created by former Govern ments, no longer wholly weighs on the Treasury ; it was considerably reduced in 1843. The definitive consolida tion of the funds from Savings Banks and of the Treasury Bills, enabled at that epoch, the burden to be reduced to 292,541,375 f.; and that sum now figures, -as a legacy from the past, amongst the causes of our existing floating debt. The year 1848, on account of the grave events with which the country was agi tated, would have presented an enormous deficit, if it had not been for the special resources which were employed to prevent it. Thanks to these re sources, which exceeded 450,000,000 fr., the accounts of the year were balanced by a simple deficit of 3,000,000 fr. The budgets of 1849, 1850, 1351, and 1852, all closed and settled, present altogether a deficit of 382,000,000 fr. This figure, which may appear high, is explained by the peculiar circumstances of the years 1849 and 1850 which wore still agitated, of the year 1851 which was so full of uncertainty, of the year 1852 devoted to the foundation of a new Government on bases more in conformity with the grandeur of the country. But in fact it is its moderate amount which should cause surprise, if we consider that, within the same period, there were disbursed in extraordinary works, des tined to be profitable to the future, more than 366,000,000 fr., 209,000,000 fr. of which were taken exclusively from the ordinary resources of the budgets, a thing which, in good justice, ought not to have been done. The bud get of 1853 is in the course of being settled. The law on accounts has been prepared, and is about to be submitted to the Council of State. The general results of that year are therefore now known with certainty. Notwithstanding the difficulties which arose during the last half-year, they show a notable increase compared with the estimates. The excess of expenses, which was 34,000,000 f. at the time of the vote, has been reduced to 23,000,000 f. But a sum of 88,654,490 f. was em ployed in the execution of great public works, though the special resources applicable ts them were only 54,894,945 f. Without the 34,000,0001. of the ordinary budget, instead of the deficit to which I refer, there would have been an excess .of receipts of more than 10,000,000 f. The year of 1854 which is in course of liquidation will present, according to all appear ances, a perfectly analogous result. On comparing the increase of receipts and expenses, and taking into account the credits which will probably be an nulled, it may be admitted that it will be balanced by a deficit of about 60,000,000 f. This result is sufficiently explained by the unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances which necessitated in the course of the year the opening of large credits. I will specially cite the arrears of the loan of 250,000,000 f. ; the subven tions amounting to more than 10,000,000 f. accorded to communes and charitable establishments ; the con struction of annexes for the Universal Exhibition of Fine Arts and Manufactures, and other wants not less urgent, such as relief for the cholera. But the fact which is specially worthy of remark is that in addi tion to the special resources which are set apart for them. Extraordinary works absorbed the enormous sum of 66,000,000 fr. Without this low), levied on the ordi nary resources, this budget, like the preceding, would j2ave closed by an excess of receipts of several millions, notwithstanding the incidental charges with which it was burdened. With respect to the year 1854, your Majesty will see with satisfaction how extensive are the resources of the country, and how great is its confidence, since, in spite of the state of war, in spite of the bread crisis, in spite of the epidemy which has spread through a great number of departments, the indirect taxes have equalled expectations, and have obtained. the high level of the preceding year. The Budget of 1855, which was voted with an excess of receipts of 3,981,905 fr., is only at its commencement, and it is absolutely impossible to foresee what will be the balance of it. The results of the first month, as far as regards the indirect revenue, are most satisfactory ; they exceed by nearly eight millions (7,959,000 fr.) those of the corresponding month of 1854. It certainly would not be wise to over-rate the consequences of such a fins commencement, but it nevertheless does not appear to have been produced by any accidental and transient cause. The months of Oct., Nov., and Dec. had already shown a marked indication of an improvement, and it is therefore fair to hope it may continue, and that affairs will still follow the ascendant progress which has been so long apparent, and which there can be no doubt is due to the uneasiness which the prevalence of the cholera and the food crisis had occasioned. I beg your Majesty to allow me for a moment to call your attention to the bud get of 1856, the preparations for which are now com pleted, and which is about to be transmitted to the Legislative Body. At first drawing it up the anti cipation of the expenses were such that it was con sidered as impossible to provide for them without the creation of fresh resources. The necessity of inscribing in the budget the arrears of the new loan of five hundred millions appeared to lead to that of re-establishing the additional 17 centimes to the laud tax, which had been suppressed by the law of August 7, 1850. Your Majesty was desirous that, above all things, the budget should be a work of sincerity. Relying on the co-operation of the country which, by subscribing to the loan with such ex traordinary eagerness, has just given to your Majesty a mark of confidence unprecedented in the history of na tions, your Majesty would not have hesitated before the necessary consequences of such an act, notwithstanding your lively solicitude for lauded property and for the tax pasrers. I have, however, shown by the example of former budgets that the deficits bad been caused by the loans taken from the ordinary public revenue for the benefit of great public works. The same result will be produced from the budget of 1856. Notwithstanding the 27 millions arising from the re-establishment of the 17 centimes, that budget would have had a deficit of more than 10 mil lions if the dotation for extraordinary public works had not been modified and divided among ulterior budgets. It is not without utility to call to mind the plan adopted by former Governments on this subject. They borrowed in order to execute great works of general utility. A sum of nine millions (8,960,200 f.) still stands every year in our budgets to pay the debt contracted by the Restoration for the construction of canals. The ar rears of the 600 millions borrowed by the Government of July will weigh for ever on our Grand Livre. It must be admitted that these prolonged charges are legi mate ; the great public works which were executed benefit the future and constitute a source of riches, of which future generations enjoy the benefit, and it is therefore just to bequeath to them the load at least in part. This is particularly incontestable as regards rail ways. Independent of their powerful action on industry, which must give to the public fortune an increase which for my part, I believe to be incalculable, it must not be forgotten that they must one day, according to the con ditions of contract return to the State. It is, therefore, a property of several milliards destined to produce an annual revenue of several hundreds of millions which is formed at present for the benefit of the future. In 1853 the gross revenue of the railways was 165 millions, and in 1854 it had risen to 196 millions. sAny combination which can tend to divide over a great number of years, the expense resulting from it is, therefore, just and rea sonable. Your Majesty has approved of these principles and authorised me to follow up as much as possible the ap plication of them in the last provisional conventions con cluded with the railway companies. Doubtless the re sult obtained will not produce an alleviation equal to that which would have arisen from a special loan. Nevertheless, thanks to these conventions, a sum of 34,650,000 fr. has been cut off from the budget of Pub lic Works for 1856. A considerable advantage, equally welcomed by your Majesty, was the immediate con sequence of this proceeding : the seventeen additional centimes to the land-tax, which it had been in con templation to re-establish, have been abandoned. On the other hand, it has appeared possible, without impeding affairs, to subject bonds and receipts t• the duties which existed before the law of A ug. 7, ISSO, and thus to increase by seven millions the produce of the registration duties. These measures, which , have hi r. re moved the necessity of re-establisng tilleowceadrgat the merly borne by landed property, a expen the s expenses same time the inscription on the build' of the interest of the two loans, budget of th thechargingae State with two millions for departmental prisons, and and to leave, notwithstanding', a surplus in the receipts of 4,140,486 francs. If the conventions concluded provisionally with the railway companies, receive, as far as regards their financial clauses, the sanction of the Legislative Body, the favourable e ff ects of it will not be confined to the budget of 1856. The en,gagements of th e State towards these companies had not in general any fixed term. The more or less rapid progress of the works led to more or less considerable payments, which the treasury had to make each year. Hence arose un certainty in the calculation of the expenses and the enormous sapplemeitary credits which increased them. For the future that inconvenience will not exist. All the debts of the State resulting from old contracts or new concessions, are determined on and divided into fixed periods, which are independent of the execu- Captain Craigie, it is reported, will be the naval officer and the chairman of the new transport board.

We believe our contemporary has rather overstated the number of British pendants. We believe that the number of French vessels of war in preparation for Baltic service this year is correct : " The operations in the Baltic next spring will, it is stated, be conducted on a scale of extraordinary magni tude. In addition to the naval forces of England, which are to consist of 150 steamers, France will send 50 steam vessels and a powerful land armament, which is now sta tioned at various points along the coast from Calais to Cherbourg.

CITY COMMISSION OF SiNVVlS. — Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of business; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. City of London Cemetery.—Deputy Unwin moved that the business of the City of London Cemetery be transferred from the Improvement Committee to the General Purposes Committee. His object was to render tho commissioners generally more conversant with matters relating to the cemetery. They bad got rid of 50,0001. and wanted to borrow 25,000/. more, and he believed that half of them did not even knew where the cemetery was. Several deputies supported the motion, while others opposed it, on the ground that the Improvement Committee, having entered into contracts in connection with the cemetery, ought not to have the completion of the works taken out of their hands, especially as, in a few months, the business of the cemetery would mately revert to the General Purposes Committee. The motion was rejected by 8 to 7. r PRICE SD• tion of the works. The State will arrive at the end of its sacrifices, and will sec ur e the completion of the net work of railways by the means of relatively small an nual payments. In fact, the sums appropriated by the treasury to the railways have lately amounted to an average outlay of about 64 millions a-year. It results, therefore, from the table annexed to the present report that all the charges of the State, including the subven tions granted to the Grand Central and to the Nor mandy and Brittany lines will be as follow :-35 millions in 1857, 30 in 1858, 22 in 1859, 17 in each of the fol lowing years up to 1865, and only 8 millions in 1866, 1867, and 1863. According to all probability the sub ventions which may be necessary for the lines which re main to be conceded in the Pyrenean region, if they change these conditions will not produce any very sen sible effect on them. It may, therefore, be hoped that the expenses of the railways thus reduced and regulated will no longer, as has been often the case, concur in de ranging the economy of budgetary previsions. Recurring to the closed estimates, the deficits of which alone impose on tke treasury a certain charge, it will be sees, Sire, that they may be summed up as follows Years anterior to theßevolution of 1843 1848 3,005,050 1849, 1850, 1851, 1852 382,128,127 1853 700,823,097 fr. With the resources of the floating debt and those which are supplied by the anticipations of receipts is the expenses of the budget, the Treasury has been able with out embarrassment to meet these deficits, the 78,000.000 fr. reimbursed in 1852 to the owners of 5 per Cent. Stock who did not accept the conversion,and the current wants of the service. Owing to the resources of - the last loan, which enabled my predecessor to reimburse to the Bank of France the 30,000,000 fr. which it had temporarily advanced, the floating debt at the mo ment at which I speak is but little different from what it was last year, when the expose des motifs of the budget of 1855 estimated it at 697,339,400 fr. If we deduct, as was then rightly done, the 65,000,000 francs of bills due to the Bank, and which are not properly speaking a floating debt, since, according to conventions, they are to be reimbursed by annual instalments of 5,000,0001 r. —as also the dotation funds of charitable societies, and the fund for giving retiring pensions to ecclesiastics which are not to be reimbursed—we arrive for the floating debt properly so called at the sumof 691,948,045 f. The elements: of which this sum is composed present nothing which is not moral and re-assuring. The most variable part of it, that which requires the greatest vigilance, I mean the Treasury-bills remitted to divers persons, and the funds of the Savings' Banks, have been reduced to reasonable limits ; the Treasury-bills do not exceed 218,000,000 f., and the funds of the Savings' Banks 180,000,000 f. I have not spoken of the extraordinary expenses occa sioned by the Eastern war,—whish are to be provided for by the resources from the two loans. A special ac count of them shall be given to your Majesty as soon as the payment of the expenses shall permit Use results to be ascertained. I will confine myself to saying to your Majesty that the amount of specie in the Treasury, which at this moment is 88,000,000 f., gives every facility of providing for the current expense of the public ser ♦ices. I will not terminate this report without pointing out to your Majesty two very remarkable facts which strik ingly prove the good-will, confidence, and easy , circum stances of the populations in 1854, notwithstanding the various.visitations which have made them suffer so cruelly. In his report of last year, my predecessor, remarking that on the 314 December, 1853, the payment of the direct taxes exceeded by 13,500,000 fr. what was due, whilst the proportion of the expense of legal proceedings had declined, said with justice that never had the pay ments in advance been so large. But a new progress took place in 1854. On the 31st December last the payments in advance were 16,000,000 fr., and the amount of costs was further reduced. Another fact not less fa vourable, for it is at once a proof of welfare and a cause of security, is the purchase of rentes effected by the Treasury for the inhabitants of the departments. The ex cess of purchases over sales used to average 40,000,000 fr. a-year ; once only, owing to peculiar circumstances, it attained 68,000,000 fr. But in 1853 this excess amounted to 86,000,000 fr., and it exceeded the enor mous amount of 94,000,000 fr. in 1854. Such is, Sir, notwithstanding the difficulty of the times, the general situation. In a country which pos sesses such elements of wealth, and under the firm and prudent action of the goverment of the Emperor, it must inspire all interests with confidence—l am, Le., P. MAGNE. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The directors of this company have just issued their report. It states that the accounts for the past half year are the first in which a comparative statement could be exhibited of the income am(' expenditure for two half-years under the combined working by this company of the Eastern Counties, Norfolk, and Eastern Union Railways, and_ from which it appears that the gross revenue for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1854, was 555,6491., and for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1854, 633,1821. The increase of traffic is therefore 77,5331., which has been earned with an increase in the expenditure of only 8,7721., thus reducing the rate for the working expenses from 48 per cent. on the previous half-year to 43 per cent. on the past half-year. The net revenue to the credit of the Eastern Counties Company for the past half-year is 239,5271., from which has to be deducted interest on mortgageS and preferential stocks amounting to 132,3571., leanine. 107,1711., which, together with the balance of 6,5621. from the previous half-year, makes a total of 113,7331. applicable to dividend, out of which the directors have declared a dividend of 7s. per share, carrying over 11,6421. to the credit of the current half-year. In the month of November the resi dent engineer was engaged by the South-Eastern Rail way Company, and, together with nearly the whole of his staff and permanent way inspectors (also engaged by that company), left their employ, subjecting the corn pany to considerable inconvenience for the time. The directors have filled up the chief office by the appoint ment of Mr. Bruff, the late engineer of the Eastern Union Company, which appointment was made on the 14th Of December last, and they have well grounded confidence that the services of that geatle man will conduce to the interests of this company. A• cositract has been entered into with Mr. Brassey upon favourable terms for the construction of the branch diverging from this company's line between Stratford and Lea-bridge stations, and extending to Lough ton, a distance of about seven miles. It is expected that this branch will be opened for traffic in the spring of 1856. With regard to obtaining the control of the East tiffolk lines from Ipswich to Haddiscoe, on the Norwich and Lowestoft line, the directors are of opinion that this course is a prudent one, and the joint committee of the Eastern Union, Norfolk and Eastern . Counties Companies have reported to the . Beard in favour of obtaining upon fair and reasonable terms pos • s,ssion of the first portion from Haddiscoo to Halesworth, • a distance of 12 miles, which has been recently opened for traffic. As the Eastern Union Company are bound to construct the portion of the East Suffolk line from Ipswich to Woodbridge, and lease it to the jointacompanins at 4 per cent. upon the outlay, there would then only remain the intermediate link from Woodbridge to llalesworth, a distance of 24 Rifles, with two branches of 101 ; miles to complete the entire railway system east of the Great Northern Railway, and which would be entirely under the management of this company. The direc tors, with the view of meeting the largely-increasing traffic, hove ordered, or are constructing in the workshops of the company, one hundred first, second, third, and composite carriages, 900 goods, timber, and oeal trucks, 26 brehks, 17 goods engines, and 12 passenger engines. When this additional stock is completed the company will have an efficient plant capable of conducting, with satisfaction, the increas ing traffic, which is accruing from the prosperity of the vast a7ricultural tract of fertile country in tersected by their lines of railway. Mr. G. Berke ley, the' engineer, reports favourably of the condi , dition of the working stock. The percentage of the locomotives now in good working order is 691 as com • pares with 551- per cent. when lie last examined the stock. The economical results of efficiency are not limited to the reduction of the consumption of coke and running expenses ;' for by this reduction the duration of several of the working parts of the engine is lengthened, as shown by an average increase of more than 25 per cent. in the number of miles a set of tubes have run during the last half-year over the average duty of a set of tubes in 1851. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS. A special court of this commission was held yesterday at the office, Greek-street, Soho, Mr Jebb, chairman, presiding, for the audit of the accounts for the year end ing the 31st Dec., 1854, and for general business. The SECRETARY presented his financial report, by which it appeared that the balance in the hands of the treasurer on 16th February was 47,849/. Os. 10d,, add ing to which the amount of checks drawn but not yet presented, 1,453/. 7s. 6d., gave an available balance of 46,395/, 13s. 4d. The amount of deposit account, 80,0001., increased that balance to 126,3951.135. 4d. Mr. ANDOE, the Government Auditor, in reply to Mr. Pascoe, said he had gone carefully through the az counts, compared them with the vouchers, and found them correct. He acknowledged the facilities for pro curing information that had been afforded him in every department, and expressed his approval of the accurate and satisfactory manner in which the various accounts had been kept. The business•paper for the day present b w ey h i:i c n h d , this, matters of mere routine, having dispose the Court adjourned. Ia the week that ended Ton Saturday the deaths of 1,475 persons—namely, 741 males and 734 femalel, were registered in London. The mortality which, since the cold weather set in, was highest is the last week of January, has in the subsequent weeks exhibited a do• crease, but it is still much above the ordinary amount. The numbers in the last five weeks have run thus :- 1,549, 1,630, 1,604, 1,546, and 1,475. The mean tem- perature in the same periods has been, 28'9, 29.3, 291, 30'9, and (last week) 25 . 4. In the 10 corresponding weeks of 1845-54 the average number of deaths was 1,086, and if this is raised in proportion to increase of population it becomes 1,195. The result of the comparison is, that there died last week, in addition to what is usual in the middle of February, 280 persons, whose lives have been shortened by the sharp and long-continued frost. The average temperature of the 10 corresponding weeks was 36'5 ; the temperature of last week is no less than 11.1 below that value, and it is also below the temperature of any week in the series, in which the coldest weeks were those of 1845 and 1847, when the mean temperat ures were 29 degs. and 26 degs. The deaths registered last week are distributed over five periods of life, as follows :-658 occurred under 20 years of age ; 198 at 20 and under 40 years ; 255 at 40 years and under 60 ; 302 at 60 and ander 80 years ; 62 at 80 years and upwards. It will be seen, on reference to the table of fatal diseases, that while upwards of 100 persons died in the first, third, and fourth vicenniades of life from diseases of the respiratory organs, only 33 deaths occurred among young men and women between 20 and 40 years of age, that period which is best quali fied to resist the inclemency of winter. Bronchitis was fatal in 218 cases, pneumonia in 114, asthma in 42, phthisis in 159, hooping-cough in 77, and influenza in 10 cases. Small-pox carried off 29 children and 4 adults. This disease seems to prevail much in Plumstead, where four deaths occurred from it. Last week the births of 903 boys and 912 girls, in all 1,815 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,461. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.518 inches. The reading of the barometer increased to 29.85 by 9 a.m. on Friday, and, after decreasing, rose to ❑eaarly the same value by the end of the week. The mean temperature was 25.4, which is 13 . 3 below the average of the same week in 38 years. The man daily temperature was 12.7 below the average on Sunday, and on the following days the extent of depression was as follows :-9 . 4 on Monday, 13 . 2 on Tuesday, 14 . 2 on Wednesday, 12.3 on Thursday, 14.4 on Friday, and 17.2 on Saturday. The highest temperature in the week occurred on Sunday, and was 36.5 ; the lowest on Wed nesday, and was 13.8. The highest on Wednesday was 34 deg. Early on the morning of Sunday, the 11th, the temperature was so low as 7 deg. in the neighbourhood of Greenwich. The mean ; dew-point temperature was 21.8 ; and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 3.6.

At the police court this morning 60 prisoners were brought before Mr. J. S. Mansfield, the stipendiary ma gistrate, charged with being connected with the attacks upon the bread-shops in the town yesterday. The proceedings to-day piloved that the riots in every instance were perpetrated gy the low Irish population, who inhabit the filthiest part of the town, in the neigh bourhood of Scotland-road. The district is locally known as "Little Ireland." ZTATE OP TRADE. MANCHE/STIR, Feb. 20.—The market continues ex ceedingly fiat, there being no increase of demand from any source, home or foreign. The prices of cloth are still giving way, but it is satisfactory to know that the production is also further declining under the discourage manta of low prices and increasing stocks. Some large offers have been made for 71b.-cloths, India quality, at ss. 3d., suc h as are now se lli ng a t ss. 6d. per piece ; and for 81b.-shirtings at 6s. 6d. such as are exceedingly mare munerative at the present quotations of 6s. 9d. per piece, but of course they were not accepted. In yarns the agents generally report a quiet market, with prices tending downwards. This applies to the de mand from all sources, the offers from manufacturers being confined to small quantities, and at lower prices. For India yarns (as well as cloths) two or three very large orders were offered at very low prices, but were declined. Of the cloth-market Messrs. John Slagg and Co. say :—" The amounts to hand from Bombay and Cal cutta on Wednesday last report, with the exception of a few descriptions of goods for which there has been a moderate demand here during the last few days, gradu ally declining prices, and there is no inducement to enter into operations in the staple articles for those mar kets. There has consequently been little or nothing doing in shirtings, jaconets, and maddapolams, and prices of these goods are very irregular. For other kinds the market is in much the same condition as for the last few weeks, and the general tendency of prices is still in favour of buyers." Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co., say :—" We have no improvement to notice in our market again today. The extent of business is limited, and the general bias of prices is downwards." LEEDS, Feb. 20.—The cloth-markets to-day have been much the same as were those of last Tuesday. Pur chases were not made freely, nor, in the aggregate, to an average extent of what is usual at this period of the year. Strong frost still prevails, and seems to impart a degree of coldness to mercantile transactions as well as to the general face of nature. Though there is a good deal of distress among some classes of workmen, it is far from being so extensive in Leeds as is experienced in some other towns. The ordinary sources of charitable and parochial relief have hitherto sufficed to meet the in creased demands of the poor, who are manfully bearing their hardships, and giving no overt signs of discontent or disturbance. In the Leeds corn-market to-day there has been but a small business done, and that at a decline of prices, say wheat at fully Is. per quarter. The navigation being stopped by ice, there have been no arrivals but by land during the past week. Altogether the corn trade is dull. HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEE'.
