Our men must be properly fed, clothed, and lodged—must have weapons and tools of the best description, so as to be enabled to fulfil the most sanguine expectations that have been formed respecting the results of their exertions, and there must also be plenty of men and materials. No deficiency in the personnel or materiel of war can be tolerated. This will unquestionably be ex pensive. But we must, in order to meet that expenditure, abandon an unjust and impolitic system, which even in times of profound peace has occasioned intense misery and privation to a large proportion of the working population. There must be a thorough revision of our fiscal and financial, but, above all, of our monetary laws. The Act of 1844 must be totally repealed ; that of 1819 materially modified. We must have a really national bank, and an adequate supply of small notes of 1/., 2/., and 3/. Thus alone can we ob tain a circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country, and supply the necessary life-blood to industry. The fate of the War depends not merely on the men and money devoted to its maintenance, but in no small degree to the measures of the late editor of the Edinburgh Review, the now Financial Minister of the British empire. What are we to think of Austria ? Always on the verge of acting, but never even declaring her self ;, getting diplomatic praises, we regret to say, in some instances the praises of the English press also, and satisfied with renewing her drafts on our credulity. We may reasonably ask our com mercial peace-at-any-price men at what rate they would discount bills like hers ; or at how much they would estimate them in examining the con dition of a firm whose liabilities and assets they had to state ? Such bills would fare worse in the market than the Russian 5 per Cents. at Hamburg, which the other day were scarcely worth 80, when our 3 per Cents. were above 90. It is now, if we remember rightly, two months since . Austria was to have been in action ; four teen days were allowed the GORTSCHA KOFF of Vienna from the end of December ; if no deci sive acceptance of the Allies' terms arrived at that time Austria was to come out, and we should see what we should see. Promptly, a favourable telegraphic message came from the CZAR, antici pating even the fourteen days ; yet, nothing is clearer now than that the all-important point of the Black Sea was intentionally left vague. A phrase was ingeniously hit upon with which Russia could play, as she did with the celebrated Vienna Note, by which she could gain a chance of paralysing somewhat the energy of the Allies, while she could make sure of keeping Austria from active measures. The result fully justifies the view we now give of Russian and Austrian concert and duplicity. The former soon complained that her assent to the Four Points was not followed by cessation from aggressive action on the part of the Allies ; that was what the late CZAR had chiefly in view. Luckily, even our Ministers dared not to appear so easily cheated. We may even hope that they did not wish so to degrade themselves in the eyes of the whole civilised world. The other object, however, Russia gained to her heart's content. Austria lay to again most willingly, instead of venturing to face the danger ; and there she lies still, one sail blowing her towards the Allies, the other towards Russia ; while it is to the latter that her course is really turned. The alliance that " defensive to-day might become offensive to-morrow," which seems even to have suggested such a hope to the cautious Emperor of kilo FRENCH, is still a genuine Austrian alliance, one as remote as ever from any result but that of taking the best possible care of Hapsburg des potism. The intention of the Four Points was discernible enough to every honest mind at once. The last and all-important one might have had a definite minimum assigned. It might have run thus : The cession of the Crimea, or, at least, the perpe tual dismantling of Sebastopol ; the restoration to the Circassians of their sea coast, and the with drawment of Russian troops from every inch cf their territory; the engagement to reduce Nicolaieff and Odessa to purely commercial ports ; and that none of the Allies should be allowed more than a limited naval force in the Black Sea. Even with the miserably paltry views which would leave Russian territory undiminished thus much might have been insisted on ; it would then have been seen how far Russia relinquished the thought of The new Chancellor of the Exchequer will find It no easy task to make " both ends meet" this year. The country will no longer allow " the War to be starved," in order to keep the national expenditure within the national income, nor will az enormous pressure on the present generation be sanctioned for the mere purpose of protecting posterity against any additional burden on account of a war undertaken not on our own account, but solely for the protection of future generations. He must distinctly and unequivocally abandon the GLADSTONE policy if he desire that the public approbation should crown his labours. The extraordinary indulgence afforded to every Ministerial proposition will ne longer be exhibited. We stood almost single handed in opposition to the principle, that because it was war time Ministers should be allowed to act as they thought proper, without let or hindrance. It is by no means impossible that Parliament may now fall into the other ex treme, and more strictly scrutinise every proposi tion. It would unquestionably be a safer course— one that could not possibly produce such disasters as the blind and unreasoning confidence formerly demanded, and so unhesitatingly conceded. The guardians of the public purse will now require that the financial position of the country shouli be fairly and candidly placed before them, that there should be no deception of any kind. The estimates should, therefore, be framed in the first instance with some degree of approximation to truth ; and no Financial Minister will hence forward be permitted to put forth palpably erroneous accounts for the purpose of inducing the representatives of the people to follow a par ticular line of policy, which would unhesitatingly be rejected if there were the slightest notion of the supplemental demands. Let us now look to the estimates brought for ward in the first instance last year, and compare them with the actual expenditure. The original claim was 17,621,3121. the real outlay, 2 7,153,931/. ! There was thus an error of more than 54 per cent., and that on the wrong side of the account ! We should williiley • have allowed an ample margin for any mistakes, considering the want of experi ence and system, that characterised our public sex la too bad, especially when so man y glaring deficiencies are to be accounted for as those which have led to the appointment of the Select Committee on the State of the Army before Sebastopol. But the first estimate of last year is alread y In place of 17,621, 3121 more than doubled. .1 we have 37,427,0031. now demanded ; and if that should be exceeded in a similar ratio, 50,000,000 i. sterling will scarcely defray the actual cost for the year ending the sth April, 1856 ! ! ! We are not discouraged on that account. If more were required it should be freely forth coming. In order to maintain the honour and dignity of -the British empire not only will our purse-strings be readily unloosed, but the thews and sinews of the adult male population will be applied to the same cause. But we ask for—nay more, we demand—fair play. We insist on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We wish to have the merit of any sacrifices that may be required—not to be cajoled or Jaumbugged. Ws points are inclippensable—first, tli4 the work injuring Turkey. Our readers well know how much more we deem it the duty of our statesmen to demand. At Vienna, however, the point was so adroitly stated that NICHOLAS might give as his views of the proposal, that Turkey, and her Allies, if they wished, might go to the enormous expense of erecting and maintaining another Sebastopol, per haps, at Sinope ; that Turkey, like Russia, was to waste her future revenue in a race with the latter in fort-building and ship-building. Turkey was to become as barbarous as Russia—the SULTAN to sink to the counterpart of a CzAR Ever since the showy offer of the Four Points to Russia, and the pother of diplomatists and cer tain journalists about it, all has gone on most smoothly with Austria and her Western Allies. She has traded for two weary months on her wordy virtue ; but there she is still, an ally who fights with words merely, and whose words in the end always turn out to have been selected for her own convenience and that of Russia. It seems folly to expect that such an ally will ever join us in fighting. Probably Lord JOHN RUSSELL does not expect it,. and may be prepared to patch up a peace which will leave Austria possibly a terri torial gainer, without firing a gun. It is perhaps too hard to suspect the leading Whig statesman so far. Vienna is, however, a seductive capital. Lord JoHN is by no means insensible to flattery when Courts, for Court purposes, are the flatterers. Austrians and Russians may well prove more than a match for the statesman who allowed NICHOLAS to absorb Poland, and who more than tolerated his armed suppression of what ho shamelessly de signated the " Hungarian rebellion." When the interests of German despots are at stake, Lord JOHN borrows his words, and his thoughts too, from CLARENDON. The last little movements of Austria are all pro-Russian. There was a needless ostentation of condolence over the death of ' the modern Nmsu cluniutzzsn ; and, worse than all, a decree that a regiment was st ill to reta i n the name of "Nie noLns, " because of the CZAR'S services in Hungary.

LATEST NEWS. BERLIN, SATURDAY, MARCH 10. It is said that Prussia will not sign a separate treaty with the Western Powers, but that she is ready to adhere to the Protocol of the 28th De cember last, on condition of being admitted to the conference of Vienna. With this ob •In view M. de Wedell's instructions are to delay as long as possible the opening of the Conferences. The mobilisation of the Federal Army, with the ex ception of Prussia is probable. M. de Grune wald, sent by the Emperor Alexander to notify his accession, had an audience of the King to-day. VIENNA, MARCH 11. Accounts from Kischeaeff, dated 3d inst., state that the Russian General commanding there had issued an order of the day, announcing that the Austrian troops would shortly advance to the ex treme frontier, and inviting the garrison of the fortress of Choczin to give them a friendly recep tion. The Russian magazines are to be trans ferred to the other side of the Dneister. [lt is as well to add that this despatch comes from Czernowits, and requires confirmation.] MANIFESTO OF THE EMPE ROR OF RUSSIA. We have received the Journal of St. Petersburg of the 3d, which contains the following Manifesto of the Emperor Alexander IL : " ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 18 (M4uon 2.) " By the grace of God, We, Alexander 11., Em peror and Autocrat of all the Russias, King of Poland, dm. dP3. 7 _ " We make known to all our faithful subjects : "In His impenetrable ways it has pleased God to strike us all with a blow as terrible as it was unexpected. Following a brief but serious illness, which at its close was developed with an unheard-of rapidity, our much-loved father, the Emperor Nicholas Pavlovitch, has departed life this day, the 18th Feb. (March 2). No language can express our grief—which is the grief also of our faithful sub jects. Submitting with resignation to the impene trable views of Divine Providence, we seek consola tion but in Him, and wait from Him alone the neces sary aid to enable us to sustain the burden which it has pleased Him to impose upon us. Even as the much loved father, whom we mourn, consecrated all his efforts, every moment of his life, to the labours and to the cares called for by the well-being of his sub jects,—We, at this hour so painful, but also so grave and so solemn, in ascending our hereditary throne of the Empire of Russia, of the kingdom of Poland, and of the Grand Duchy of Finland, which are in separable, take, in the face of the invisible God always surrounding us, the sacred pledge, never to have any other end in view but the prosperity of our country. May Providence who has called us to this high mis sion, so aid us, that guided and protected by Him,we may be able to strengthen Russia in the highest degree of power and glory ; that by us may be ac complished the views and the desires of our illus trious predecessors, Peter, Catherine, Alexander the much-loved, and our august father of imperish able memory. " By their well-proved zeal, by their prayers ar dently united with ours before the altars of the Most High, our dear subjects will come to our aid. We invite them to do so, commanding them to take, at the same time, the oath of fidelity both to us and to our heir, his Imperial Highness the Cesarewitch Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovitch. " Given at St. Petersburg, the 18th day of the month of Feb. (March 2), of the year of grace 1855, and the first year of our reign. (Signed) " ALEXANDER." HAYMARK ET THEATRE, On Saturday evening a new comedy, from the pen of Sterling Coyne, entitled The Secret Agent, was produced at this theatre with the most decided success. The scene of the play is laid in one of the small states in Ger many, where we find that, during his minority, the Duke Victor (Mr. Howe), has succeeded to the dukedom, but his mother, the Dowager Duchess, has, for a lengthened period, managed all the affairs of state for him, and so pleasant has power become that,. to prevent the said Duke Victor from thinking of resuming the reins of Go vernment, his thoughts are directed by the Dowager, aided by the Prime Minister, Count Steinhausen (Mr. Buckstone), and the Grand Chamberlain, Baron Stand buck (Mr. Compton), to the pursuit of pleasure. This state of things has been going on some time, when the people eventually become discontented, and fears are entertained of conspiracy. During the time that the government has been in the hands of the Dowager her Ministers have effected numerous jobs, by which the various members of their families have each been Landsomely pro vided for. The Duke's eyes are opened by his cou sin Ernestine. She informs him of the disaffec tion that exists, and further tells him that the only way to regain the love of his people is to assame the reins of government himself, and to send his present ministers to the right about. He promises to do so, and Ernestine hits upon a plan by which it can be very quietly done, namely, that a certain person shall be said to have arrived at Court—an old school-fellow—whom he, the Duke, has appointed as his secret agent, from whom he will receive notice of everything that goes on in the place. Great consternation is occasioned the Duchess and her ministry by the supposed presence of this secret agent, who is, in fact, the Duke himself, and numerous are the stratagems and expedients resorted to to dis cover him. The Prime Minister and the Chamberlain tremble in their very shoes, and each is afraid to speak higher than a whisper for fear of being overheard by the Duke's secret agent. The acting of Mr. Buckstone at this part of the play was incomparable, and our readers, we imagine, can form an idea of the acting of two such true artistes as he and Mr. Comptult in such a position. But to preceed with the plot. The courtiers resort to every means to discover " this person who is in nobody's way," and Nettchen, Ernestine's maid, further perplexes them by telling the Count that he (the secret agent) will be present at a masked ball, dressed as Mephistopheles ; and, on the other hand, she informs the Baron that the secret agent will appear at the ball as a Spanish lady. The appearance of Mr. Buckstone as a Spanish dancer, and his clever imitation of Perea Nena, was received with tremendous applause and shouts of laughter, which were repeated on the entry of Compton as Mephistopheles. When they discover themselves each believes the other the secret agent of the Duke, and begins to plot each other's downfall ; and, inally, the prime minister is arrested and sent to the state prison at Spilsburgh. This brings about an ex planation. The Dowager Duchess goes into private life, and the m inisters retire; one (the Count), ears reward for his labours, receives the blue riband of the order of the:golden ass, while the Baron is appointed director-gent. ral of the water works, and the Duke marries Ernestine, The great success that the piece achieved was mainly owing to the exertions of Mr. Buckstone, and hencefor ward the part of Count Steinhausen will be considered one of his greatest efforts, and without doubt it is so. The comedy has been splendidly put upon the stage, the scenery, dresses, and appointments being of the most gorgeous description. It was given out by Mr. Buck stone for repetition every evening, amidst the applause of one of the most crowded and delighted audiences that ever assembled within the walls of " the little theatre in the Haymarket." ADELPIII THEATRE. On Saturday another new farce entitled I'll tell your Wife, was produced here with great success. The plot is exceedingly simple, and turns upon the embarrass ments of a "fait" medical student, who is about to marry the daughter of Dr. Bile, taking a mystoiious lady to dine with him. The acting of Keeley as Dr. Bile, and of Leigh Murray as the "fast " young man, was capital. It was announced for repetition amidst great applause. THE ELECTIONS. DIIDLEY.--Sir S. Northcote was returned on Satur day without any bona fide opposition. BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. Buck was elected on Saturday for this borough without opposition.

NAVAL MEDICAL OFFICERS.—The movement in favour of the naval assistant-surgeons, so admirably originated at the Middlesex Hospital, has been followed by the pupils of all the other metropolitan schools. On Tues day last an important meeting was held, attended by delegates from all the London hospitals, to organise an effective opposition to the recent unjust regulations of the Admiralty, admitting youths of 18, and w ho h a d only just finished their first medical sessions, into the Royal navy to rank with, but subordinate to, that of the acting assistant-surgeons. The provincial schools are about to co-operate with the metropolitan in addres °jug Putitiona Parliament on this important subject. - __~~..~.~: a: 7 FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. General de Wedell arrived yesterday in Paris from Berlin. It miy have been remarked that at the period of the first mission of that gentleman, and when the French press appeared to believe in the success of an immediate arrangement, the Ger man journals displayed a systematic incredulity on the subject. It is no longer the same now. Letters from Berlin state that General Wedell is em powered to sign the protocol of December 28, on behalf of Prussia, in the expectation that Prussia will then be admitted without difficulty to the con ference. Lady John Russell landed yesterday at Calais ' on her way to Vienna to join her husband. The llioniteur contains a decree confirming a number of nominations in the Legion of Honour ,and of distribution of military medals, made by General Canrobert in the army of the East. General Herbillon, in command of the Ist reserve division of the array of the East, passed the Ist and 2d brigades of his divi6ion in review, at Lyons, on the Bth. On that occasion he addressed the troops in the following manner :--- " Soldiers, you are going to join your brethren in arms, who at the Alma and at Inkerman proved by theii bravery and resolution that the blood which flows in their veins is the same as that of the heroes of the grand army. Never did soldiers give proofs of greater self ; denial, of a more continued perseverance, and, above all, of a more constant spirit in the midst of the dangers of every kind to which they are every day exposed. Sol diers, you will follow in their footsteps, and like them y, )u will march against the enemy with cries of Vive l'Empereur !" This address was received with great enthusiasm. The departure of the first regiment for Toulon commenced immediately after the review. The Toulonnais says the Herbillon division now at Lyons is composed of 7,081 men and 728 horses. Six hundred of the Guides will set out for the Crimea shortly before, or about the time the Em peror leaves, 600 will follow soon after, and the re mainder will remain in Paris as the depot. It appears that the whole of the corps are most anxious to go, and memorials are constantly sent to the Emperor for permission. The farewell review of the 9th and 32d Regi ments of the line, forming part of the 11th division of the army of reserve of the East, was held on Sa turday by the Emperor in the Court of the Tuil eries. About half-past 12 o'clock the war batta lions of those Regiments, under General de Guyon, were drawn up in two lines in front of the central pavilion of the Palace, known as the " Pavillon de l'Horloge." Marshal Magnan add General Roquet were on the ground to receive the Emperor. The troops were in complete marching order. The Em peror mounted on horseback at 1 precisely, while the Empress took her station at the balcony, which was covered with crimson velvet. His Majesty, havin g rode up and down in front of the lines, re quested the commanding officers to point out such of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and pri vates as deserved the decoration of the Legion of Honour, and he bestowed on them with his own han4 this proud tribute to military merit. Tho troops soon after defiled to the shout of " rive VEmpereur !" a cry which, before long, will be re peated by them in front of the enemy on the field of battle. Au Imperial decree calls into active service the 140,000 recruits of the class of 1854, who are to join their respective corps between the 25th and 31st inst. A division of reserve, composed of the 3d and 4th Regiments of Voltigeurs and the 3d and 4th Regiments of Grenadiers, is being organised at Lyons. Those regiments, formed of the elite com panies of the 3d Battalions, are to be commanded by Lieutenant-Colonels. BOURSE, MARCH 10.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c. End of klonth. 4i per Cents.

"Accounts from St. Petersburg," says the Gazette de France, speak of romonstrances which are said to have been addressed to the new Czar by the body of nobles against the arming of the serfs. It is well known that this measure, comprised in the general armament ordered by the Emperor Ni cholas, had not met with any opposition. If, as it is said, its execution now meets with any remon strances on the part of the nobility, it is doubtless because the resolution of emancipating the serfs having been long attributed to the heir presump tive, now become Emperor, it is feared that the arming of that class will be a good step towards that object." "According to letters from St. Petersburg," sa y s the Woo (Indie s " the Amoral of the ED3peror Nicholas is to take place on the 20th. The popu lation of St. Petersburg (it adds) cannot accustom themselves to the idea that it is the Grail(' Duke Alexander, and not the Grand Duke Constantine, who has succeeded his father ; and they invoke the ukase of Peter the Great of the sth February, 1722, which confers on the Emperor the right of nominating his successor. It was in virtue of this ukase that Peter appointed Catherine I. to succeed him." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :--c , The health of the Empress and of the young Princess continues ixcellent. Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian ambassador, had a long conference yesterday morning with ount Buol ; and will to-morrow have another private audience of the Emperor. The prince has made known to Count Buol that he is to continue to occupy the same functions at Vienna as heretofore. The prince this morning presented M. de Titoff and M. de Saleman, an attaché of the embassy, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Lord John Russell, it is said, is to deliver an autograph letter from Queen Victoria to the Emperor. His lordship to day had a long conference with Count Buol, after which he visited Prince Metternich and Baron de Bruck, the latter of whom returned the visit a few hours after. It is said that the conferences will be opened on the 20th ; Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Titoff could not sooner be in possession of fresh instructions, which are ren dered necessary by the change of Sovereign. Arif- Effendi has made known that the Sultan has fixed on the Grand Vizir Reschid Pacha to represent him at the conferences." PIEDMONT. MARCH 6.—Since the passing of the convention loan in the Senate, and the Convent Suppression Bill by the Deputies, there has been a lull in the public interest in Parliamentary proceedings. The business has been confined to the passing of a bill enabling the Minister of War to add 500 men to the navy by the Senate, and a bill voted by the de puties for establishing tribunals of commerce at Turin and Nice. The feeling through the country against the attempts at Papal intervention is daily developing itself, and before the Convent Bill comes on for discussion by the Senate will be shown by hundreds of petitions in favour of that measure. It is said that already between twenty and thirty thousand signatures have been attached to these petitions, and the system once thoroughly explained there is no doubt the idea will gather rapidly. Prince Frederick of Wurtemberg has been ap pointed to the command of the Bth corps of the federal army. The Ministers of War of Baden, Hesse, and Wurtemberg held yesterday a conference at Hei delberg. Letters from Berlin mention a rumour which was prevalent there of Prussia intending to propose an armistice, in order to allow the Emperor Alexander 11. time to seriously examine the interests of his empire with respect to the Eastern question. A letter fromJassy, of the 26th ult., says, " The news of the raising of the blockade of the mouths of the Danube was received here with great delight and lively gratitude by the whole population. The sale of corn, the export of which forms the princi pal source of revenue, and whieh has been put a stop to during the last twelvemonths, will now re sume its regular course. We read in the German Journal of Frankfort :-- "Baron de Prokesch-Osten had preserved, as a souvenir, the remainder of the water of the Jor dan, which was blessed at Nazareth, and with which the Emperor Francis Joseph was christened. He has charged M. Beda. Weber, the first cure at Frankfort, to fill a small vessel with it, which he has confided to the care of M. A. de Bethman to carry to Vienna, and deliver it to the Archduchess Sophia, for the baptism of the young Princess of Austria." A letter from Vienna, in I, ie Silesian Gazelle, says :—" The Archduke William is to go to St. Petersburg, not only to offer condolence, but also for political reasons. He has been charged to make to the Court of St. Petersburg the most con fidential communications as to the impossibility which Austria is under of changing her policy in conformity with European interests. Diplomatists place the greatest hopes in this mission, and the Russian Embassy also hopes for peace.'' A letter from Berlin says is stated from St Petersburg that the Empress Dowager stood as chief mourner in the chapelle ardente where the body of the Emperor Nicholas has been placed, and where it will remain a week. It will be carried from thence, and remain for another week in the Citadel, after which it will be deposited in the tomb of the imperial family. On Saturday last reports were current in London that serious disturbances' had broken out at St. Petersburg. The interdict laid on the telegraph by the Russian Government, while it encourages speculation as to the probable state of the Russian capital, makes it impossible either to verify or re fute the rumours in question. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Odessa, which states that the aspect of the place was quite melancholy. All the inhabitants, whose fortunes permitted them, were quitting the town for the interior of the country, as a bombardment by the Allied fleets was considered quite a cer tainty. AUSTRALIA. [A summary of the following, received by electric telegraph, appeared in our impression of Saturday: --] By the arrival of the Arabian we have advices from Melbourne to the 16th of December inclu sively. The "strike" of the diggers—for "insur rection" is too strong a term—was over, and order restored. The firm attitude assumed by Sir Chas. Hotham and the local Goiernment has been at tended with the happiest results. After the skir mish between the military and the diggers, unhap pily attended with much loss of life, martial law was proclaimed at the goldfields at Ballarat on the Gth of December. Order was, however, so far re established on the Bth that another proclamation was issued by Sir Charles Hotham, revoking the same. In the Legislative Council of Melbourne, on the 6th of December, Mr. Miller, a member of the council, moved :-- "That the Lieut.-Governor, having been placed in a painfully embarrassing position since his arrival in Vic toria, is entitled to the sympathy and support of this Council, and it pledges itself, by every means in its power, to aid him in restoring and maintaining law and order." In seconding this motion, the Colonial Secretary made the following statement : " Most of the disaffected, who did not form the bulk of the diggers, and many of the leaders, were fo re i gners , while the real hard-working diggers were delighted with the timely intervention of the Government. He read ex tracts from despatches received that day from Captain Pasley and Commissioner Rede, showing this to be the case ; that order was now entirely restored, and that 417 licenses had been issued in one day. He was also truly happy to say that the majority of the prisoners, as well as of those killed, were foreigners." The principal leader of the refractory hall been arrested. The Legislative Council has passed a vote of thanks to the military. A correspondent of the Melbourne Argos writes as follows : "All remains perfectly quiet on the goldfields, and there is obviously, f rom d ay t o d ay , an increase f the number of those at work in the different shafts. Trade is recovering in some measure from its paralysis, and things are resuming the aspect they presented before the unhappy outbreak. Amid the superficial quiet, there is a constant undercurrent of reports which tend to keep all en the alert. I may quote one or two of these reports which I have ascertained to be completely unfounded, hut which were communicated to me so seriously as to lead me to institute careful inquiry. It was stated that a trooper on his way to Melbourne had the other evening been shot at Bacchus Marsh—it was hoped by a bush ranger, but it was feared by one of Colonel Vern's out posts. It was stated that a party of troopers who went out yesterday license-hunting had been hooted and pelted, and compelled to abandon their prisoners and re treat ; that the escort this morning had been insulted in a similar way ; that an unfinished tent belonging to Mr. Humffrays had been appropriated by the police, without its owner's knowledge ; and that an application to Mr. Hackett to hold an inquest on one of those who died from wounds received on the Sabbath morning had been contemptuously refused by that gentlemen. These are statements which have been made to me with all con fidence in the course of the last two days, and by those whom I would have expected to find well informed. I cannot say in what form of exaggeration these reports may be circulated among the windlasses, but, from what I know of their influence on my mind, lean believe that they would tend very much to postpone the tranquillity which all must wish to be restored at Ballarat. " I have been inquiring lately into the extent to which the population of this gold field may be regarded impregnated with the convict element. I am informed that 10 per cent. of the entire people may be regarded as belonging to this class, but that a large proportion of them aro tolerably respectable and industrious men. I can easily understand this. Gold mining is quite the pursuit in which men of this class might be expected to engage, and find in it the charm without the danger of their previous employments. Though the labour of the miner it; toilsome enQue,b, and is, °Yell apart from ire. quent disappointments, attended with many discomforts, it has a freedom and independence which may be sup posed calculated to recommend it to men indisposed by inclination and habit to the ordinary restraints con nected with settled labour. The chance there is, too of a brilliant success enables the man of anything like san guine temperament to surmount present toils and hard- ships. ‘-‘ I have made careful inquiry'asto the number of men of this class who were identified with the recent insur rectionary movement. lam informed that about 20 of the 150 in the stockade were of those who had been con victs, and that, of these 30, 20 might be regarded as in duced to aennect themselves with the agitation with a view to plunder. Even a temporary success would have furnished the most favourable opportunity fir aggran disement. Besides the robbery of the stores, &c., a course which was commenced and carried to some ex tent, many shafts were known besides in which valuable washing stuff had been collected, and there was every probability that even a few days of successful rebellion would leave these heaps in the power of the rebels." The Arabian has hroughc 68,000 ounces of gold on freight, 18,000 bales of wool, and 200 passengers. Trade was improving. A sample of coal from Spring Bay, equal to the best qualities of Port Arthur, had been exhibited at Hobart Town. The prospect of gold being found in Tasmania was considerably str eng th ene d. At Sydney trade was much depressed. English and foreign goods were being sacrificed daily, and it was feared the worst had not been reached. ' The gold market was quiet, at 3/. 17s. per ounce. The Arabian fell in with large quantities of ice (some of the bergs very large) between longitude 170 and 40, west ; between longitude 56 and 40 she experienced dense foggy weather, and the ship was hove to several times, the icebergs being so very numerous and the weather so thick that she was frequently within a few yards of a berg before it was detected. Crossed the Equator on the 15th. The Antelope left Melbourne for the Cape of Good Hope and Liverpool in company with the Arabian. The Constance, Sultana, and Delgany, from Li. verpool, had arrived at Melbourne. The Argo ar. rived at Melbourne on. the sth of December. A MERICA. By the arrival of the Cunard Royal Mail steam ship Asia, Captain Edward G. Lott, we have ad vices from New York to the 27th ult., Boston to the 28th ult., and Halifax to the Ist inst inclusive. The Asia brought 95 passengers and $528,620 in specie. She reports the sailing of the Washing ton, for Southampton and Bremen, from New York on the 24th ult. The news by this arrival is not important. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, from hence on the 17th ult., was passed by the Baltic on the Ist of March, 300 miles from Boston, making for that port. An interesting scene occurred in the United States Senate on the 26th ult. The sword which General Jackson wore through all his campaigns, and which, while on his death-bed, he presented to his friend and companion in arms, the late General Armstrong, was presented to Congress. General Cass, in presenting the weapon, delivered an elo quent eulogy upon the public services and private virtues of the gallant hero of New Orleans. Mr. Bell followed in a similar strain, and at the conclu sion of his remarks offered a joint resolution, accept ing the sword and thanking the family of the late General Armstrong for the gift. It passed unani mously.. The Secretary of the Treasury has promulgated an important decision relating to the carrying of emigrant passengers. It is as follows : " If a ship does not carry a larger number of passen gers in other parts of said vesssel than she is legally en titled to carry on her lower and orlop decks, and said passengers have the spaces unoccupied by other goods. not being their personal baggage, in the part of said vessel where carried, which are prescribed by law, she is not liable to the penalties imposed by said laws for an excess of passengers, even though her lower or orlop decks may be occupied in whole or in part for the storage in merchandise." This settles the matter in controversy between the merchants and shippers and Congress, and also secures t• passengers the space allotted by the laws to them while on shipboard. The New York Heraldsays :—" Our Washington correspondent states that there is no doubt but the Senate will agree to the modifications of the tariff as adopted by the house." , CALIFORNIA. By the arrival of the steam-ship George Law at Now York on the 25th ult., we have later news from San Francisco, Feb. 1. The most startling item of news is the account of the explosion of the boilers of the steamboat Pearl, on the Sacramento River, by which unlucky accident between 40 and 50 persons were sent torn and mangled into eter nity, while ninny others were maimed and crippled for the remainder of their lives. Among the killed are numbered some of the best citizens of Cali fornia. The steamer brought upwards of $1,100,000 in gold dust. Business was exceedingly dull, but a revival was confidently looked for with the com mencement of the rainy season. Our advices from the Sandwich Islands are one week later. The preparation for the obsequies of the late King occupied the public mind, to the ex clusion of everything else. The news from Acapulco is highly important. The progress of the revolutionists is so rapid ano successful as to warrant the belief that the career of Santa Anna is very near its termination. New Granada remained perfectly tranquil. The directors of the Panama Railroad and their friends were busy making arrangements to inaugurate the road. From Peru we have the details of the battle o La Palma, which resulted in the expulsion of Echinique and the elevation of Castilla to the Pre sidency. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FRB. 27. The money market is fully supplied beyond the pre sent need of borrowers. COTTON.—The market is firm for the better kinds, which are in limited stock, and heavy for the common descriptions, which are in good supply. FLOUR, &c.—The market is less active for western and state flour. Our prices are unchanged, the arrivals are limited, and the stock is diminished. The better grades are particularly fine, and in good request. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The United States mail steam-ship, Washington, E. Oavendy, commander, landed her mails for Southampton at midnight. She brings advices from New York to the 24th ultimo. The Baltic had arrived out. [The news by the Washington is anticipated by the arrival of the Asia at Liverpool.] DEATH OF DON CARLOS OF SPAIN. A telegraphic despatch from Trieste announces the demise of Don Carlos at that place, on Saturday last, at half-past nine a.m. Among the exiled royal personages whose varied for tunes have illustrated the eighteenth century, few have occupied a more prominent position than this distin guished prince. Born in 1788, Don Carlos passed his early life in Spain, and married, in 1816, the Infanta Maria Francisca d'Assise, daughter of John VI., King of Portugal. On the death of his elder brother, Ferdi nand VII., in 1832, Don Carlos disputed the succession to the throne of Spain, and, after a protracted war of varied success and disaster, retreated into France, in 1839, when' he was placed under surveillance by the Government of Louis Philippe, and confined to the city of Bourges until 1845, when he retired to Italy. Don Carlos lost his first wife in 1834, and was mar ried secondly on the 2d of February, 1838, by proxy, at Saltzburgh, and on the 20th of October, of the same year, in person, at Aspeitia, to the Infanta Maria Theresa Princess de Beira, daughter of John VI., King of Per tugal, and widow of the Infante Don Pedro of Spain. By his first marriage Don Carlos leaves two sons, to the eldest of whom, Don Carlos Luis Conde de Monte molin, he ceded his ola.ims on the Spanish throne on the 18th of May, 1845. The Conde de Montemolin was married, in July, 1850, to the Princess Maria Caroline Ferdinanda, sister of Ferdinand 11., King of the Two Sicilies. FRENCH MAIL SERVICE IN THE LEVANT.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE, March, 1855.—The following is a list of the ports in the Levant served by the French Mediter ranean Mail Packets, and at each of which the French Government maintains post-offices, viz.:—Constanti nople, Gallipoli, the Dardanelles, Smyrna, Alexandria, Beyrout, Mersina, Alexandretta, Latakia, Tripoli (Syria), Jaffa, and Mytelene. The postage upon letters for warded by the French Mediterranean packets is as fol lows :—Not exceeding oz. in weight, ls. ; exceeding oz. and not exceeding 4 oz., 2s. ; exceeding oz. and not exceeding I oz., 3s. ; exceeding oz. and not ex ceeding 1 oz., 4s. ; and so on, increasing ls. for every additional quarter of an ounce. The above rates of postage may be paid in advance, or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender. Letters for Alexandria will be sent by the French mail packets only when specially addressed "by French packets via Marseilles," but for the other places mentioned letters will be so forwarded as a rule, unless directed to be sent otherwise. It must be understood that these instruc tions do not in any way interfere with or alter the rates of postage specially affixed for letters addressed to her Majesty's forces serving in Turkey ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANIL—The 107th anniver sary festival of this society was celebrated at the Free. masons' Tavern on Thursday, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor presiding, supported by about 150 friends of the institution. There was also a large number of ladies present. The festival " being considered more in the light of a musical entertainment " than a public dinner, the speeches were short and to the purpose, MJEKET NEWS-(MS DAl') CORN EXCHANGE. bet ° I The country markets held on Saturday yen rately supplied with wheat, in which about 6// - 10 business was transacted, on rather lower telt and malt were very dull.
