Acrio.Gn. 51 DC 154 - 164 The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly but firmly, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were id. per lb. dearer, except Surat, which improved id. per lb. The sales were estimated at 8,000 to 9,000 bales, and consisted of 1,000 for export, and 1,500 on specula tion (American) ; 70 Pernam and Maranham at bid. to 7d. ; 20 Bahia, 61d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, 61d. to 9id. ; 1,000 Surat, 4.0. to 5d., and 100 Sea Islands, 114 d. to 16d. per lb. There was but little change to note in the Railway Share Market, and prices were about the same as on Wednesday. The markets for foreign and colonial produce during the week have been inanimate, and the prices of some articles have tended downwards. Sugar in the early part of the week receded fully ls. per cwt., but yesterday, although no quotable recovery took place, there was rather more firm ness. The stocks of this article at some of the chief markets of Europe are now nearly equal to those of the same period last year. Accounts from the East Indies report that the crops were expected to be large. During the month of February the exports from Calcutta to Great Britain were large. There has been a good demand for most descrip tions of coffee, and the quotations have bee n full y supported. For tea there has been a very limited inquiry, as purchasers deferred their operations until the public sales, which commenced yesterday with a flat appearance. For rice there has been rather more inquiry, at previous values. Trinidad cocoa has been sold at a decline of is. to 2s. The low and middling qualities of saltpetre have been in re quest. Cochineal has ruled dull, and in tallow the transactions have been limited. Spices have been inactive. A rumour has been circulated during the last few days to the effect that the Bank of France has authority to issue an additional 8,000,0001. of notes. No authentic information has transpired on the subject; but it is generally admitted that the measure, if adopted, would have a very bene ficial influence upon the Paris money market. There is very little variation in the English Stock Market, but the investments made by the public give support to prices. Until the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is made known, it is not considered likely that any speculative dealing will take place, as the pro gress of the money market will in the future have greater influence on the Funds than political movements. Judging from the numerous Joint- Stock Companies that are being brought forward there seems very little prospect of any material relaxation in the rates of discount for some time to come. Consols for transfer have been 931 and 93 to 931. For account, they are 93g A. The New Three per Cents. have been 921 to 93, and the Reduced 911 to 921. Bank Stock is 2121 to 214, and East India Stock 223 to 231. The Consols Scrip is marked 31 prem. Exche quer Bills, March, are par to 33. prem., and the Scrip is 31 prem. The Foreign Stock Market is very dull, and some of the quotations are flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 981 g for account, and the 4 per Cents. have been nominal all the morning. Sardinian Bonds opened heavily at 94i, and have since risen to 951 and 96. Mexican Bonds are 23. Brazilian Small ditto 100, and Dutch 2i per Cents. 63. A meeting of the Spanish Certificate holders has been convened by Sir John Fitzgerald, M.P., who proposes forming an energetic committee for the purpose of taking measures to obtain considera tion at the hands of the Government of Madrid. The improving financial condition of Spain, and the example set by her neighbour Portugal, have, indeed, a more confident feeling among the holders of the coupons. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that in the market for American Securities there has not been much animation during the past week, and prices generally are without alteration, with the exception of Illinois Central Bonds, for which there has been a considerable demand at improved prices.

In the French market there has been an attempt to depress prices, which has been partially successful, a decline of about 11. per share having taken place. Part of this, how ever, has been recovered, but some of the lines are still weak. Sambre and Meuse are heavy. Mining and Banking Shares are flat.

Lord Lucan—Did you satisfy yourself that there were materials and labour wherewith to shelter the horses, before you wrote that paragraph, attributing want of promptitude and ingenuity, and to which I take ex ception ? Col. Tulloch—l did satisfy myself, by the Quarter master-General's answers, that there was no diffi culty, so far- as I could see, except that of labour, in providing shelter ; and that labour appeared principally to apply to the Turkish soldiers not being good work men. I certainly considered that there was a certain amount of cavalry available for the construction of shel ter. With regard to the tools, I now learn there was a greater deficiency than I expected. I only thought it was a partial deficiency, confined to one or two regi ments. I knew sufficient timber had arrived on the 25th November. '" 2 Lord Lucan--If you had known there were neither materials nor labour available, should you have framed your report differently ? Colonel Tullooh—l am not aware that I should. It is probable, if I bad known it to a greater extent, we should have been more particular in pointing out another department as in fault. Lord Lucan—l shall not examine Colonel Tulloch further. General Peel put some questions to Colonel Tulloch, with reference to the mortality amongst the horses, and as to his manner of striking the averages. He said that if he had taken the averages of the deaths at five months, instead of six or seven, the mortality might have appeared to exceed the actual number of animals in the Crimea. The averages published by the commis sioners were correct according to the returns furnished them. Lord Lucaa—Were you ever deterred (from or dis couraged in any way by any act of mine in giving shelter to the horses of your brigade, but, on the contrary, did I not urge you and every other officer to provide shelter for the horses as far as possible ? General Scarlett—Yes, you never discouraged me or any other officer, but, on tile contrary, was anxious that every shelter possible should be provided for the horses. In answer to another question from Lord Lucan, Gen. Scarlett said—l don't think more promptitude or inge nuity could have been displayed by your lordship and the other officers in command of the cavalry in the position we were then placed. If so I should have thought it my duty to have stated that fact to y o ur lordship a 1 the moment. Cel. Douglas was then recalled by Lord Lncan, and in , reply to the same questions gave similar answers to those of General Scarlett. Col. Tulloch then put a question to Col. Douglas on his evidence given before the commissioners, wherein he stated he made no suggestion to Lord Lucan that he could have put up temporary shelter with sail-cloth in a few days, to which be replied that he did not consider it necessary to make any suggestion to Lord Lucan to that effect, having no materials. It was certainly his duty as an officer to'make suggestions to his superior. Col. Tulloch—Did not the omission of such a sugges tion show want of ingenuity on your part l Col. Douglas—No, I don't think it did. (Laughter.) I had not the command of the cavalry. It was the duty of the Generals of Division, the Quartermaster• General, or even Lord Raglan himt.elf, to order suchithing. It was certainly not the duty of an officer in command of a regiment. By the Judge•Advocate•General—lle attributed the great loss of horses to want of food, shelter, and the nature of the work, that were not killed is action. The witness retired. Gen. Scarlett was recall el. and in answer to a question from the Judge-A dvocAte-G eneral sae ] , he attributed the loss of these horses to want of supplies in the Crimea, and the effect of the weather on them previous to that. Lord Lucan said that in consequence of the desvh of Admiral, Sir D. Dundas' son, that gallant officer could not attend, and he wished to put in the gallant admiral's an swer to certain queries he (Lord Lucan) had addressed to him. He could do without it, as he intended to call Sir E. Lyons to-m s-row. .• The Judge-Advocate-Genera' Faid the Court would not receive that evidefice Shortly after 2 o'clock the Court rose, and adjourned till Monday. We have reason to believe that the Government of the colony of Victoria has been offered by Mr. Labouchere to the Earl of Elgin. - Mr. Thomas, a Madras civil servant, has, we bear, been appointed by the Crown a director of the East India Company under the late Charter Act. A letter f , om Berlin, in the Cologne Gazette, states "The Dowager Emprd,s of Russia is, we are assured, expected here on the 16th May." A statue in white marble of Napoleon 1., in imperial costume, with a crown of laurel on his head, has just been placed in the centre of the grass plot in front of the hotel of the Duke d'Albe, in the Champs Elysees. SURREY ARCH/EOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge has been pleased to accept the office of patron of this society. Mr. Leigh Murray, the eminent actor, is engaged by Mr. Lane, the lessee of the Britannia Theatre, to play a round of his most popular character". He opens on Monday week, and will doubtless prove as great a fa vonrite with the Hortonians as he already is with the denizens of the West End. HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION IN RUPERT- STREET. One of the moat daring acts of assassination ever per petrated in this country occurred last night, shortly after eight o'clock, in Rupert-street, Haymarket. One man has been so seriously injured, that in all probability he has already ceased to live ; and three others are dangerously wounded. The assassin is an Italian, named Foschini ; and, un happily, in the confusion which arose at the moment he committed his diabolical crime, he effected his escape, and up to the present moment has evaded the most active search of the police officers. _ _ . The scene of the tragedy was an Italian and French restaurant, kept by a native of the Papal States, named Louis Stucchi, at 45, Rupert-street, Haymarket. This person is at present in the provinces, and the crime, which will give to his house a terrible notoriety, will therefore be first communicated to him through the newspapers. Among the foreigners who were accustomed to assem ble at Stucchi's restaurant were Francesco Rossi, Carlo De Rudio, and Pietro Chiesa, all natives of the same part of Italy. The assassin Foschini has been a visitor only during a comparatively recent period, but from his family and connexions having been known to Rossi and the other Italians, he had been admitted into their so ciety, and frequently passed his evenings in Rupert street. At about a quarter-past eight o'clock last even ing Rossi, Chiesa, and De Rudio were conversing to gether in the back room on the ground floor, on cursory subjects, when Foschini entered, and producing a pack of cards, suggested that the whole party should play a game together. Rossi objected, and assigned as a reason that he wished to go home early, upon which Foschini repeated his request, and volunteered to fetch some beer from a neighbouring public-house as an inducement to keep the party together. He did so, and on re-enter ing the restaurant offered Rossi and the others the free use of the beverage he had furnished. Something was said as to the bad quality of the beer, and Foschini went out to exchange it, returning presently afterwards, and again joining his companions in drinking. There wss a fifth Italian present at the time, in the person of Carlo Rouelli— a man of education and birth, but reduced by circumstances to act as waiter at Stucchi's restaurant. In a short time after Foschini had rejoined the party, and before any game of cards had been commenced, Fos chini complained of feeling ill, and requested that one of the party would assist him to the shop of a medical man. Rossi, anxious to go home, volunteered to do so, and resting upon his arm, apparently in a state of suffer ing, Foschini left the house and proceeded up Rupert street, Rossi's intention being to conduct him to the nearest chemist's shop for the purpose of obtaining some alterative draught. They hal arrived at the corner of Richmond-street, opposite to Brettell's printing-office, Rossi rallying Foschini, and endeavouring to persuade him that he was not so ill as he affected to be, when the former, releasing his arm from Foschini's grasp, acci dentally touched with his hand a hard substance within the trousers of the latter, which he at once knew to be a poignard or stiletto. Rossi immediately charged him with possession of the weapon, and asked him what he meant. Foschini made no reply, but at once seemed to have recovered his strength, and with Rossi retraced his steps to the restaurant. Rossi had, it appears, some knowledge of Foschini's desperate character, and from his sullen manner on being questioned he felt somewhat alarmed. On reaching Stus:chi's house Rossi was in the act of placing his hand upon the door handle, for the purpose of entering, when Foschini, who was following closely behind, struck hiss a violeAt blow over the shoulder with his poignard. The blow fortunately took only a slight effect, having been stopped by one of the upper ribs. Rossi instantly exclaimed, " What are you doing, assassin ?" But before he had time to recover himself he received an other blow on the arm, and retreating into the house, he was followed by Fcachini, who continued to strike at him with his poignard. Chiesa,Delludio, and the waiter Rouelli were in the front saloon on the ground floor when this attack took place, and on discovering Rossi retreating from the assassin they ran to his assistance. Foschini then dealt his deadly blows against all present. Rossi, faint from loss of blood, rushed into the street, and, calling aloud for help, hastened to the nearest surgeon's, where his wounds were dressed, and from here he aas conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital. As soon as Rossi left the house, Foschini, with an artful cunning, turned off the gas, and then in comparative darkness continuer his murderous attack. Rouelli, the waiter, who had been foremost in endeavouring to seize the assassin, fell first, dangerously wounded in the head and abdomen, and, indeed, in all parts of the botly. Da Rudio next suc cumbed, and Chiesa alone remained to grapple with the assassin, when Foschini, finding, it is supposed, his strength to fail him, retreated into the street, followed by Chiesa. On finding himself pressed, within a few yards, the assassin turned again upo❑ Chiesa, and struck him a severe blow in the abdomen, from the effects of which Chiesa fell, still retaining strength, however, to call upon the bystanders, of whom nearly twenty were at hand, to arrest the assassin. The sight of the poignard and the determined appearance of Foschini, however, seemed to strike a panic into every heart, and the assassin was actually allowed to escape without mo. leztation, no police constables being at this time near. ' As soon as the restaurant was entered a dreadful sight presented Use's. Rouelli, apparently in a dying state, was stretched upon the floor, blood flowing freely from wounds in every part of his body, and De Rudio was in a fainting state also from hemorrhage. Assistance was at once procured, and all the injured persons were con veyed to the Charing-cross Hospital, where the best medical aid was instantly afforded by Dr. Golding and Mr. Hancock, the chief physician and surgeon to the institution. The case of Rouelli was at once pronounced to be a most dangerous one, and under the advice of the medi cal men his deposition was at once taken by Inspector Parke, of the V division, under whose care all the wounded men had been conveyed to the hospital. M. Francois' Napoleon, an Italian, and M. Albert, in terpreter at Marlborough-street Police-court, were sent for, and as soon as they had arrived, the dying man's statement was taken—Mr. J. T. Buck, house surgeon, supporting the unhappy man, and directing the officers how to apply their questions between the paroxysms of agony from which the poor many suffered. The statement was as follows : "April 17, 11.45 p.m. "I, Carlo Rouelli, of 45, Rupert-street, Haymarket, state that I feel that I am dying from the effects of the wounds that I received from the man named Foschini, in the front parlour of the ground floor of the house, be tween S and 9 o'clock p.m. this day. lam not aware of having given any offence or cause for such an attack. Foschini jumped on me like a savage, and stabbed with a triangular-formed instrument in several places, more particularly in the region of the heart and the head. " CARLO ROURLLI."

CONVOCATION OF Till CLERGY.—The Lower House again as,embled yesterday morning ; Dr. Peacock in the chair. Atter some preliminary business, the house pro ceeded to the adjourned discussion on the Report of the state of the Law affecting the Discipline of the Clergy. A resolution proposed by the Archdeacon of Berks gave rise to a long and uninteresting discussion ; after which the Archdeacon of St. Alban's proposed, and the Rev. Chancellor Martin seconded, a proposition to the effect that it was not judicious to discuss the resolution before the other portions of the report had been disposed of. This suggestion was adopted. The house then pro ceeded to the discussion of the report, which lasted the whole day. A new report was substituted for most of the clauses which were taken up to the Upper House for adoption, and the house adjourned at five o'clock. " Witnesses—Francis Napoleon. " John D. Prake."

(This Day.) The Board of General officers reassembled this morn- Lag at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, at the usual hour. Colonel Talloch's examination by Lord Lucan was re sumed.—lt was merely matter of opinion on his part when he stated yesterday that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to institute proceedings to dise)ve; who were the parties to blame for want of " promptitude and ingenuity" in devising shelter for the horses. He sta,ted yesterday there were two subjects omitted from this report —one the mortality in a few of the regiments, and the other details whioh perhaps the Commissioners ought not to have inquired into, but which, however, were very useful to the Government. He be- lieved the Cotnrnissioners' signatures were affixed to the first report on the 26th of January, and to the second on the 2d of February. He could not account for the want of the dates in the printed report. The signatures of the commissioners were lilt affixed to the report home months subsequent to the interviews and discus sion with the Minister for War on this subject, but about three weeks before the meeting of Parlia- meat, and during the time Lord Panmure was confined to his house. No copies of the evidence taken before the Sebastopol Committee were sent to them in the Crimea. They bad a knowledge of the evidence that was given before that committee through the London newspapers, but they had no official communication on the subject. He first saw an official copy of the Sebastopol Commit tee's report in his own office at the War•ofce, after his return from the Crimea, but when he first saw it as a private paper he could not say. He was unable to say whether he read in the newspapers Lord Luean'e evi dence before the Sebastopol Committee. His report was drawn up on the evidence taken by the Commissioners, and not on the evidence taken by the Sebastopol Committee. The evidence in the Crimea was taken on board a vessel in Balaklava, harbour, specially ap pointed for that purpose, but unfortunately they bad not the assistance of a short-hand writer, and tne consequence was the evidence had to be greatly con densed, and afterwards had to be forwarded to the witnesses for their approval, when additions and subtractions were made to and from the evidence before the witnesses signed it. He had the original minutes of the evid2nce with the officers' signatures. Lr)rd Lucan —nen, Colonel Tutloch, the minutei are not a faithful report of all that was said or passed be- tween the examiner and the witnesses ! Colonel Tulloch —lt is, with a few exceptions,—that of the alterations made by the witnesses themselves, lie said, in answer to a question from Lord Lucan, that as Sir John MiNeil was in c mfidential communication with the Government, he would be the best person to inform the Board if there were other instructions given the Commissioners by the Minister at War than those incliind iii - the report. He was in the confidence of Sir J. M'Neit as much ai could be between two men engaged in the same duties, but Sir J. M'Neil was an older servant of the Crown than he was, and was in constant communication with the Government on other matters, He declined giving an opinion whether or not Sir J. Nrlceil, who is a civilian, was capalle ofconducting an inquiry affecting the canduct of general and other mili- tary officers. Lord Lucan—lf you had known the inquiry was to have been into the conduct of generals and other officers, do you think that your past experience, antecedent;, and position qualified you for undertaking such an enquiry ? Col. Tulloch— Certainly not, and I expressed my doubts on undertaking it, whether some (Neer of greater experience ought not to be sent out to conduct this inquiry. Lord Lucan—Why did you not examine Lord Raglan? Col. Tulloch—Sir J. AL`Neil and myself had many in terviews with General Airey respecting it, who said his opinion was that it would not become an officer of his (Col. Tulloch't) rank to exaniine an officer of the high position of Lord Raglan. Another reason for their not doing it was that the Commissioners did not hear a word breathed against Lord Raglan by any person in the Crimea. Under these circumstances the Commissioners thought it unnecessary to r examine him. If Sir J. M'Neil had Leen of a different opinion, and had thought it necessary to examine Lord Raglan, he (Col. Tulloch) should have sent home to the G ivernment, and asked to have had a general officer associated with the Com missioners to have enabled them to have examined Lord Raglan. If they had examined Lord Raglan, it would have been the first instance on record where Commis sioners had examined into the conduct of a General commanding an army. Examination continued—He saw but few horses of the allies under cover in the Crimea, late as his visit was there. He was not aware of the oontrary, but he believed the Russian horses in the valley of Inkerman were not under cover in November. Russian horses were very different to English horses, and could stand the climate better. He could not say whether the Rus sians and our allies displayed more ingenuity and promp titude in providing shelter than the English. It was necessary, on account of the bad weather, that the horses in the Crimea under cover should be moved as often as possible. Certainly oftener than every two or three days. Had they been changed oftener it would have been better. From what he had been told in the Crimea he was of opinion that temporary shelter by dig. ging pits and trenches for the horses might have been provided. Colonel Tulloch again denied that there was any animadversion in the report on Lord Lucan ; the remarks objected to by his lordship merely stated the Commissioners opinion of want of promptitude and ingenuity in devising temporary shelter, leaving it to be subsequently ascertained who was the party to blame. Lord Lucan said that if Col. Tulloch would relieve him from all blame be should be satisfied, and there would bean end of the matter so far as he was concerned. Col. Tulloch said it was the duty of the Commissioners to point out defects to the Government, leaving them to find out who wefe the parties to blame. Examination continued—He did not inquire who was the Engineer officer placed at Lord Lucan's dispo sal by the Quartermaster -General for providing shelter, nor bad he examined him on that point. He had seen trenches dug and earthworks thrown up in the High• lands to shelter cattle in the winter, that was all the experience he had had of sheltering horses in that way. He believed that was the practice adopted in the Pampas. He examined Mr. Rawlinson and not a military engi neer, because be was sent out by the Government to inquire into, examine, and make arrangements for the establishment of a camp in that country. The Commissariat Department lost some horses, but not to the extent that bad been stated. He thought the nature of these duties bad been exaggerated. He was con sulted with reference to the organisation of the Ambu lance Corps, but it was not carried out by the Govern ment in accordance with those suggestions. In the Crimea he wade no inquiries respecting this corps. If canvas was necessary for the covering of the horses, it was a matter of opinion whether it should have been provided by the civil authorities at home. It might have been bad if necessary from Constantinople, as well as spars, carpenters, Sco., in ninety hours. It was also a matter of opinion whether, when wooden shelter was sent out for the men, similar shelter should have been sent for the horses. To use trenches for horses, in a wet season, they should be paved, and there was no difficulty in doing it in the Crimea. Some of the , regiments. did it.

The police authorities, however, from the perfect description of the assassin, entertain not the least doubt but that before to-morrow he will be in custody. _ _ On inquiring at Charing-cross Hospital to-day (two o'clock), Mr. Best, the house surgeon, informed our re porter that the unfortunate man, Carlo Rouelli, was still alive, but no hope was entertained of his recovery. It is stated that jealousy, not gaming, was the actual cause of the shocking affair. ARMY REFORM. In military, as in most other affairs, responsibility knows but small rest. Nec mora, MC requies. The instant one phase of difficulty is passed another takes its place. What is immediately before us is the re-embar kation of four armies, with all their material, or at least such as honour or economy requires us to bring away. Other questions, however, supervene of greater import ance. What are we to do with our army t Where is it to be stationed ? And whet benefit, if any, is it to have on our recent experience ? Is it to be kept up on the Fame scale as before, wihout any other material change, remaining a British army of the old sort, only half as much again of it ? Or is the quality as well as the quan tity to be improved ? These questions may or may not occur to those who are waiting to hear the particulars g of the treaty, or counting the cost of the war and estimatin its effect on the money-market, or who confine their at tention to the promised rejoicings and fireworks. But they are very serious questions, and all the use of the. military inquiry at Chelsea is its bearing upon their solu tion. As to the first of them —that is, the immediate destination of our forces re-embarked from the Crimea — we believe we may state with certainty that Gen. Eyre's Division of 10,000 men is to go direct from Balaklava to Canada. Such a measure will, no doubt, be variously in terpreted. We are not in the secret, and can only discuss it as any Canadian or American politician might do. It will, of course, be set down by some people at once as a threat, or at least a measure of pre , caution ; indeed we do not see bow, just now, it can escape the latter character, as the Canadians themselves show no signs of disaffection, and in the pre sent temper of the British people on colonial affairs it is doubtful whether we should take the trouble to coerce them if they did. If it be, then, a measure of precaution, the citizens of the United States, as they have just voted a million of money for war steamers, will not be sur prised at our sending 10,000 men to the support of our loyal fellow-subjects. Canada was stripped of all the dis posable forces for the service of this war, and, as our re publican neighbours have taken the opportunity of mak ing a disturbance, it is a matter of course that, as soon as our forces are released, a portion of them should re turn to the colony. For our part, we much prefer this solution to another which may suggest itself—viz., that we are to make a rule of maintaining a large force in Canada. The colonists don't want it them selves. Indeed they asked permission to raise a regiment for the war in the Crimea, and thought themselves not very respectfully used when the offer was declined. We trust, indeed, that we are giving up the absurdity of an immense and costly army, in the most unavailable and unimprovable form, spread in small detachments over half a hundred colonies. But, passing from the political considerations involved in the reinforcement of Canada, there remains the larger question, how are we to apply to our army the lessons of recent experience 1 Many people, of that sort that prophesy ill, and are too often right, will tell us that nothing will be done, and that everything will go on as it did before. It may be so, but we are still sanguine enough to hope for better things. As the army is to suffer no very considerable reduction for the present, and will be kept at a respectable strength till the cold fit comes over the British people, something must be done at once to justify an immense and oostly armament. We have now an army, and it would be a thousand pities not to take the opportunity for those improvements which it has been continually objected the scale of the army did not admit of. For the present, at least, we shall have two large bodies of men in camps of exercise, as they may be called, at Aldershott and Curragh. In them the soldier of the line ought to be taught every art that experience has shown to be useful in war—that is, so far as time, opportunity, and the capacity of the soldier will allow. A camp ought to be a great military school. Every sol dier, indeed, may not be able to learn everything, for there must still be subdivision of labour in an army, as in a town or a village. But each regiment ought to be independent of labourers, tradesmen, and artisans. It ought to comprehend in its ranks as many navvies, care' penters, masons, blacksmiths, tailors, shoemakerw, saddlers, butchers, cooks, and bakers as possible. Ft,r this purpose it ought, even in the neighbourhood of towns, to provide for itself as much as can be done, eves when nothing is gained but practice. It is always to be expected that war will be in an enemy's country, and provision must be made for that contingency. But in an enemy's country an army must always expect to find itself surrounded by deserts and ruins, and driven to provide fer all its own wants as well as it can. In this emergency there is sure to be such a demand for labourers and handicraftsmen for the depots, and other general purposes of the army, that each regi ment will be ill off if it has not time to spare. Of course the soldiers, who are always needy, will be only too gladly to work if they are paid for extra work. It will be worth while to pay them handsomely, for a skilled soldier is evidently worth two of the unskilled rsen who rotted like sheep in the Crimea, with scarcely an idea of helping themselves. r We repeat, that if we are to main tain a large army it will be necessary to do something for the money it will cost. The British public will have to be convinced that if it pays annually five or ten mil lions more than it has hitherto done for the national de fences, those defences are much more efficient than they have been. Among other things, every camp ought to have a proper proportion of cavalry, artillery, and en gineers ; and no pains or cost should be spared to bring the cannon, the mortar, and the rifle up to the latest improvement, and give the men a close familiarity with their weapons. Among other proposals for the reform of the army, it is said that a mixed commission of officers and civilians will s' on be appointed to Inquire into the system of purchase. The names mentioned—the Duke of Somerset, Mr. Ellice, Mr. S. Herbert, Lord Stanley, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir H. Bentinck, Colonel Wetherell, and an en gineer officer—are certainly entitled to respect. They are said to have a leaning in favour of purchase, as the only means of checking the influence of rank and power, and giving the middle classes a chance in the army. With out purchase, it is argued, the aristocracy will monopo lise the service, with now and then a promotion from the ranks ; but as a set-off against purchase, and to qualify the influence of money, there is a great wish to carry the test of examination as far as possible. How far this can be done, and how high in the scale of promotion, we do not hear guessed, but the argument of setting it against purchase, if consistently carried out, must go very high. Hard work, however, is as good a test as examination, and as efficient a counterpoise to the influence of wealth. Keep soldiers al ways at work and make the camp a perpetual rehearsal of the campaign, and we shall Lear less of idle young men entering the army merely for the name, the society, the uniform, and the trifling occupation. The class of do-nothings, know-nothings, and good-for-nothings would soon be driven away if they ere compelled to go through a few years' camp service almost as hard as the Crimea, except for the privations. It this is done at once, and the British people become satisfied that the army is an efficient institution, and what it professes to be, they will be quite ready to keep the army at its present standard ; but they certainly will not like to pay twice as much as before for an army simply twice as large, and just as likely, after all its costly trainings, to fall into the wretched state of help lessness daily described at Chelsea when ordered upon active service.—Times. MARKET NEWS.—;This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very moderately supplied with all kinds of wheat of home produce, nevertheless the demand for that grain ruled very inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The general quality of the samples was good. Foreign wheat, the imports of which amount to 6,720 quarters, moved off heavily, and the quotations were almost nominal. We had a good demand for both English and foreign barley, at very full prices. Malt ruled steady, at late rates. The show of oats was large, and the oat trade was ♦ery dull, at barely previous rates. Beans, peas, and flour moved off heavily, at the late de cline in value. Barley. Znglish 1,450 Irish .••• I 160 Foreign 3 I 6,720 2,390 Wheat. 2,2G0 I Malt. Oats.
