England will understands, if France does not, that there is but one means to effect a large reduc• tion of expenditure—reduction of naval and mill rary votes. In India and at home the budget for the year has had our defensive establishments for its barometer. We do not deny that the miscel laneous expenses have increased considerably, but they have, for the most part, given us a quid pro quo. The cost of army and navy is, on the con trary, merely so much paid for insurance against risks —better to pay it than run the risk, of course : but risks, and prevention of risks, are unproductive. If an Irish Encumbered Estates Court, or national education, cost us something, or even a packet or a telegraph, we still have some permanent return in the benefit to trade or social morals the army and navy we expect nothing from, but to prevent our neighbours from breaking into our house. When the Duke of WELLINGTON de termined on economy, it was at the Horse Guards he began, and he could safely do it, for no "EM PEROR" was at the mercy of his own fickle temper, and the still more fickle temper of the peasantry and army of France. When Indian finance must be righted at any cost, neither Mr. WILSON nor Mr. LAING could do anything without reducing the army, and this process has Already almost brought about a balanced account. But no mighty military neighbour looms like a thunder cloud on the horizon of India. Possibly the French Government understands . . this quite as well as we do. There are, indeed, 11 indications that M. FOULD does so, though he may Inot speak too openly. The French army and I navy will, however, be the test of Louis I NAPOLEON'S sincerity. He can, in a few 1 years, have a full Exchequer, if he only re nounce his ambition of military predominance. I M. FOULD suggests to him the truth when he hints that his financial policy compelled all Europe to arms ; of course he meant that the extravagance he proposed to check was mili tary extravagance. If the Budget was only to be foundel on estimates not to be exceeded, but if these estimates were to be as large as the sums hitherto voted, and the supplementary credits corn bined, this so far from relieving the Exchequer, or from quieting the just apprehensions of Europe, would still require new taxes or loans for the former, and compel the latter to keep up as large 1 armaments as ever. Nothing worth doing is done, till the core of the evil is reached—and that is the ambition of France—for it is the country which makes its EMPEROR—to speak with authority over Southern and Central Europe. Could we but be sure of the temper of France, and, therefore, of that of her ruler, we could as easily return to twenty millions for defensive insurance, as we once were content with little more than half that sum. France and her EMPEROR are solely respon sible to the taxpayers of England for inflicting on them the burden of an income tax. Her army and her navy together. we hold to be nothing less than a defiant outrage on this country. We have never had an army large enough to render our navy for midable to the shores of France. France could spare an army large enough to occupy an English county, and persists in having a navy fully equipp e d to transpo r t i t and protect its landing. this policy d eserves to be characterised i t ; but w by epithets we do not care t o b estow u it is about to bo reversed. E We thi n k ew. slow to proceed pari pas su i n disarmamentpllhope 1 ogland will n o t be with the threatener of her shores; and if such be really the Case, we shall then, and then on l y , l ook on the commercial ercial treaty as an honest shaking of hands. The finances of France had, indeed, got almost into the last difficulty—in ten years M. FOULD tells the Imperial spendthrift that he has made away with £112,000,000 sterling by extraordinary credits; that to raise that amount he has seized on every accumulation of money on which the State could lay its hands ; not only has the old resource of loans been freely used, but when the bank enlarged its capi tal the Treasury directly pocketed £4,000,000 of it ; again it bagged five millions and a half sterling, by laying its hands on the army dotation fond ; no money came amiss to meet the demands of these truly "extraordinary" credits ; even a new species of loan was invented, called the obligations tren tenaires, by which also the prodigals contrived to raise about another five and a half-millions sterling. This splendid Governmental ex travagance, accompanied by not much bet ter thrift municipally and in private life, could not have lasted much longer, let the har vest have been as good as it might. But happily' we believe, for France, as the potato rot for Ireland, the seasons came in to hasten the winding up of the folly. The system, if such extravagance can be so called, must have come to an end of itself; but when a deficiency of food and of trade came upon such a course of national improvidence, there was nothing for it but to draw in or be drawn down. At the same time, it will be universally acknow ledged that the EMPEROR has done a manly thing. He has turned on all who may charge him with inconsistency, as the late Sir JAMES GRAHAM did in the late corn law debate, when per secuted with quotations from his published opinions, —saying "I've changed my mind, and there's an end on't"—we confess we look upon the man with some respect who feels himself strong enough to say so. Better, of course, never to err ; but since we all of us are pretty conscious of sharing largely in that human tendency, we all like better the manliness which owns an error, than the evasions and excuses which are often proferred to make the best of it. Only—to a magnanimous confession of error, like that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the essential thing is sincere and thorough adherence to the new policy. If the Emperor of FRANCE will now pursue the policy which his new financial proposals demand, if he cease to maintain armaments perfectly useless, ex cept to compel others to do the same, if he thus enable us to diminish our war expenditure, and relieve us from the accursed income tax, he may be quite sure of creating very different sentiments in this country to those which now axists towards him. We shall test the value, therefore, of his present act by Mr. GLADSTONE'S next budget. We have a Chancellor of the Exchequer who is certaily quite as hostile to reckless expenditure as M. FOULD can be ; and if we have not a bad har vest here, we have a people smarting under the most odious, because most inquisitive and unjust of war taxes, solely because we do not choose to lie at the mercy of France. England would soon follow France in reduction of expenditure, and much more willingly than she did in its increase. In consequence, we presume, of the lamented indisposition of the venerable President of the Law Amendment Society, the annual series of meetings of that learned and laborious association was inaugurated, on Monday last, by the pre sent Solicitor-General, and not, as hitherto, by the noble and learned ex-Chancellor. Lord BROUGHAM having already taken his departure from our shores, in search of health and repose at his southern residence near Cannes, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER undertook to discharge, in his Lordship's stead, the responsible duties of Chairman. Those duties, it will be remembered, are of no ordinary character. They are not merely the customary pro forma duties of a chair man of a public meeting. They necessitate, in the first instance, a capacity on the part of the acting President of the Association to take a comprehensive survey of recent law reforms, to give a lucid digest of the changes for the beaur brought about in that way during the late session of Parliament, and, above all, to epitomise clearly and succinctly those other ameliorations or mo difications of the law, as it is, that the Society proposes to itself to advocate in the shape of prac tical amendments. Happily for the general inte rests of the community at large, and for the espe cial interests of the Law Amendment Association itself, the Solicitor-General proved himself emi nently well qualified for the task devolved upon him by the absence of Lord BROUGHAM. His intro ductory remarks on Monday evening were every thing that could have been wished. Nothing could very well have been more inspiriting, in its way, than Sir ROUNDELL PALMER'S insisting, at the very commencement of his address, that the time had surely now arrived when " a greater amount of the Society's attention should be directed to the amendment of defects in the substance of the law than had hitherto been given to that part of the subject." Nay, further, said the hon. and learned gentleman—" No one could help feeling that the law was unsystematic, and that in many respects it was productive of injustice." In proof of which he remarked at once as about the aptest " case in Point" that could be particularized, that " There was a pretty general agreement amongst that branch of the profession to which ho belonged that it was in the highest degree desirable to simplify land transfers and land titles. But," he added, "be for one felt that there was a little disposition to shut our eyes to the inherent difficulties of the object. It might be desirable that the transfer of land should take place with the same facility as the transfer of stock ; but then it was not desirable that one man should have an easy mode of selling the property of another man." And so in regard to titles. " If," said the Solicitor-General, " any sys tem of clearing them by Parliamentary process could be devised without injury to anyone, he should be ready to apply it to any extent. He did not think," he added, " any scheme which would lessen the dominion of the owner over his property, or which would make it less valuable for useful purposes, would be acceptable to the possessors of land, and he doubted if it would conduce to the prosperity of the country." All which is, of course, perfectly judicious in its way—conspicuously wise, cautious, and temperate. But the intimation of all this by the second law officer of the Crown, was so far unsatisfactory under the circumstances that it indicated, as plainly as possible, that the Govern ment has no intention whatever—at any rate as yet—of introducing any measure at all upon the subject referred to. Indeed, the Solicitor-General acknowledged (rather superfluously, we cannot but think) what any one might have predicated without his acknowledgment—that if the Government had any intention whatever of the kind he, at least, was ignorant of it ! Observing at the same time, that if he were entrusted with such a measure, in his capacity as Solicitor-General, he should certainly endeavour to give it effect. Very earnestly do we trust that under any circumstances, but more par ticularly after this assurance volunteered by Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, while presiding ever the in auguration meeting of the Law Amendment Society, in the autumn of 1861, that when the parliamen tary se ss i on of 1862 shall have fairly commenced, Sir 1 lUGII CAI will not allow the matter to r a e c ni co a n i n n t a ab of the p resent do-nothing ny le l on ger apathy neglected, by reason of the un- Administrat ion. As to the necessity there is for further improve ments in the L?,Nv of Patents, the Solicitor-general THE SUN, LOLIDON, SATURDAY EVEYINU; NOVEMBER 1116, 1861. was, on Monday, a little more explicit. " With regard to patents," he said, " upon the assump tion that they were to be continued, there were two great desiderata. One was that there should be some rational and satisfactory definition of the sort of inventions which patents were meant to protect ; and the other that there should be some better mode of sifting away those which were obviously useless and bad." Upon this subject it was satisfactory to hear a Solicitor-General admit ting quite frankly, as Sir ROUNDELL PALMER did in so many words on Monday, that " If the inven tion _did not involve a new principle or a new process it ought not to be a subject of a patent at all !" Already, thank Heaven ! " much has been done" even now towards the diminution of what was but a very few years back a monstrous incubus, clog, or millstone, paralysing in a greater measure the energies of the scientific inventor in this country. It is encouraging at least to remember that! Who has forgotten the impressive Story of a Patent, as related by the Patentee himself?— " JOHN," the humble mechanic, an ingenious poor man, friend of that arrant Chartist WILLIAM BUTCHER ! Who that has ever read it—that " Poor Man's Tale of a Patent," can lose a wholesome re collection of the heart breaking processes through which the said Poor Man had to go before he could possibly get his invention patented —pay ing £5 lOs 6d here, and £3 there—Xl 7s 6d for this, and £1 lOs for that; dancing attendance at the Attorney-General's-office, at the Privy Seal office, at the Signet-office, at the Home-office, and at the office of the Master in Cnancery ; paying in hard cash for the English Patent alone, £96 7s 8d : going through THIRTY-FIVE different stages in all before he had done with it—and compelled (while going through this long agony of expense and procrastination) to call in the aid not only of the QUEEN and her Attorney-General, but of amazing creatures like the Clerk of the Signet, and the Clerk of the Patents, and the Chancellor's Purse Bearer, and the Clerk of the Hanaper—and the Deputy Clerk of the Hanaper, and the Deputy Sealer, and the Deputy Chaff-Wax !—all of them requiring to be " tipped !" Still—while, without doubt, in getting rid of a good deal of all this, " much has been done," as w© have said, even now —more, considerably " more remains to do," as inventors yet know to their cost ! American telegrams leave us still in expectation. Not only is the great battle on the Potomac not yet come off, but the arrival of the Great Expedition at any destination must be learned from later infor mation. " Rumour " is our only informant, and on that authority it had reached, on the 3d, as far South as Bull's Bay, which place, with an island of the same name, the reader will find a little to the north of Charleston. We shall soon learn whether the expedition has sailed past that port, so guilty in Northern eyes, or whether it was really intended to make the " traitors who trailed the Union flag in the dust" at Fort Sumter do penance for their in sult to Yankeedom. If it passes that place, and Savannah in Georgia, it can hardly then have any destination but New Orleans. Any of the three ports would be accessible to the cotton plantations, and it is not unlikely that Manchester still has a faint hope that it may get supplies in this way from America still. We hope that expectation will soon be proved to be baseless. Indeed, we imagine that even if the North opened a cotton port in the South, it would be as much as any man's life was worth to attempt to convey cotton to a port of which the North was master. Rumour is also our only informant on military movements. General FREMONT does not appear after all, to have been displaced. Perhaps he is to the PRESIDENT the IVALLENSTEIN of Missouri and the far West. The Confederate Generals, PRICE and M'CuLLocH, were said to have united their forces, and to intend to give FREMONT battle at Neostro, purposing, if victorious, to march their Parthian-like armies on St. Louis. In Kentucky the Confederates appear to need more than the blankets adverted to by our correspondent from the South yesterday—those Kentuckians who had joined them in this divided state, had returned ragged and hungry to their own homes ; giving little encouragement to enlistment for Southern independence and slavery. In Virginia the old conspirator FLOYD is said to have got the worst of it from RosENcaaNz ; on the Potomac we hear of no movement, but the river is so far open that the Powhattan had sailed up from Anna polis without being fired at by the Confederate bat teries. Perhaps they are economising that scarce article, with them, powder. Government is looking after the money supply—for Sicretaries CAMERON and CHASE were busy inNew York. They must find it there, for it will be useless to come to Europe for it, while we do not yet know whether we have a half, or a quarter, or less, of a Union to deal with. STUB if SIGNALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A few days ago a gentleman who had written on "Astro meteorology" ventured to pre dict that a storm would occur about the 17th or 18th of this month. In consequence of this prediction appearing in several papers application has just been made to me, by the captain of a ship preparing to sail, to know whether such au occurrence is expected by and was thus foretold by this department. Having explained why it is impossible to foretell or'predict accurately any particular weather, at an interval of time exceeding two or three days in ad vance ; and Laving assured him that no such far seen prediction as that of the 10th inst., adverting to the 17th, would have been ventured on at this office—simply because we could not have facts on which it might be based, even approximately, I feel it a duty to ask your assistance in attempting to caution some persons against the perhaps apparently plausible assertions of writers who mysteriously refer atmospheric changes to the relative positions of Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, but are ridiculed by really scientific men. While thus troublesome, may I bore you further, for the benefit of others, by remarking that there are numerous vendors of very inferior meteorologi cal instruments, who assert that they are those, or similar to those verified at Kew, or supplied to Government, although the fact is that they are not so, but are as objectionable as bad watches or cheap razors, which may deceive till proved ? There are but few reliable nianufacturers of accu rate meteorological instruments, and they aro well known in Europe, America, Australia, and India. Faithfully yours, ROBERT FITZROY.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN FORBES.—We have to re cord the death of Sir John Forbes, M.D., physician to her Majesty's household, who expired on Wednesday, in his 74th year. The deceased was the fourth son of the late Mr. Alexander Forbes, and was born at Cuttelbrae in 1787. He was educated at the Endowed Grammar School and at Marischal College, Aberdeen, but received his medical education at the University of Edinburgh, and served for several years in the medical dei.artment of the navy. In 1814 and 1815 he was flag-surgeon to the Commander-in- Chief in the West Indies, where he was present in several naval engagements, and received the naval war medal. In 1817 he graduated as M.D, at Edinburgh Uni versity ; in 1821 he introduced to the English prac titioners the great discovery of auscultation by translating Laenn Ws treatise, and wrote an original work on the same subject in 1824. In 1830 he was appointed physician in ordinary to the late Duke of Cambridge, physician extra ordinary to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort in 1810, and physician in the Queen's household in the following year. Sir John was an honorary member of the principal medical societies of Europe and America, one of the editors of the " Cyclopsedia of Practical Medicine," and the author of several professional and other works. He received the honour of knighthood in 1853, was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, a Doctor of Civil Law, Fellow of the Royal Society, and for several years consulting physician to the Consumption Hospital. THE LATE LORD CHARLES BEATICLERK.—The obsequies of this lamented nobleman took place at the Scarborough Cemetery, on Friday morning, and were at tended by his brothers, Lord Frederick and Lord George Beauclerk. Lord Charles was of a most amiable and kind hearted disposition, and was much liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was formerly a captain in the Ist Royals, and, at his decease, a major in the Northumberland Militia. He possessed considerable me chanical genius, and several patents of merit bear his name. It is remarkable that, although nine generations have passed away, Lord Charles bore a striking resemblance to Vandyke's celebrated portrait of Charles I. He possessed a most genial disposition, but had the same melancholy cast of countenance, features, and complexion. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution must have won golden opinions throughout the kingdom for their promptitude in sending a new lifeboat, which was tried on Monday, in Scarborough bay, by their liberality to the bereaved families of the fishermen, and also by the presentation of a silver medal to the bereaved families of Lord Charles, Mr. Tindall, and Mr. Hiles, It is worthy of record that Lord Charles was not the first of his family who thus distinguished himself. Lord Frederick, his elder brother, and heir presumptive to the Duke of St. Albans, some years ago jumped overboard in Kingstown harbour, on a bitter November night, and at the imminent risk of his life, succeeded in saving the life of a poor woman, for which most ccol and gallant act the Royal National Institution presented him with a silver medal. Tho Queen can scarcely confer any higher distinc • tion, for without the stimulant of the field of battle it is a record not merely of the highest order of courage but also of humanity. We regret to state that the bodies of W. Tindall, Burton, and Hiles have not yet been found. Dr. Primrose, in taking leave of his son, observes—" Go, ray son, and if you fall, no tears aro more honourable than those with which Heaven bedews the unburied head of a soldier." The grates of those under the surging waves are equally honourable. THE LATE " LIZZY STUART."—Our obituary last week included the name of this young and lamented vocalist, who died at Coventry on the 2d inst., aged only 30 years. As a public singer she was chiefly known by her entertainments illustrative of Scottish minstrelsy. The deceased was born of English parents, in Dublin, on the 24th of May, 1831, and showing at an early age an aptitude for the musical profession, she became a pupil of Felice Ronconi and Manuel Garcia. Her first appearance in Coventry was in June, 1856, when her services were gener ously given for the benefit of Miss Laura Honey. On the 10th of February, 1857, she was united, at St. Mark's Church, Birmingham, to Mr. Albert Tomson, ribbon dresser, of Coventry, where her last appearance took place in March, 1861, in the Messiah, for the benefit of the Choral Society. Her last appearance in public was in aid of the Band Fund of the Hon. Artillery Company, when her services were also gratuitously rendered. The remains of one who was everywhere beloved and esteemed, and whose death will be severely felt in that domestic circle which she so much adorned, were consigned to a grave in the cemetery at Coventry. Miss Lizzy Stuart's Entertain ment comprised " A Peep at Scotland through Her Songs," brought out in 1856 ; a second series brought out in 1857 ; " The Ploughman Poet, and what he did for Scotland," 1558 ; "Lays and Legends of Scottish Minstrelsy," 1859 ; and " Songs of Ireland," 1860.—Era. ACCIDENT TO A CHANNEL STEAMER.—A heavy gale of wind blew from the westward on Thursday, as the South-Eastern Railway Company's fast steamer the Victo ria was crossing the Channel from Boulogne, with 60 pas sengers on board; and just as she reached the shallow water in mid-channel, known as the Ridge, a sea broke in over her bows, stove in the topgallant forecastle, drove the support ing stanchions clean through the main deck, and filled the men's bunks with water, thereby bringing her bead down by nearly a foot. The vessel, which is the fastest steamer afloat, is very strongly built in compartments, and, though she came into Folkestone harbour with her fore compart ment full of water, there had been no damage sustained in any of the other compartments of the vessel. The Victoria is, of course, laid up for repairs, but a few days will see her as seaworthy as ever. I BRITISH MUSEUM.—The regulations for the re newal of tickets of admission to the reading•room of the British Museum having been of late in a great degree neglected, causing considerable inconvenience in making the periodical returns of the number of readers, the atten dants have received fresh instructions to demand the pro duction of the cards whenever they may deem it necessary. The tickets are granted for a term not exceeding six months, and any reader, once admitted, may apply at the close of his term for the renewal of his ticket, and failing so to do, becomes subject to the forfeiture of his privileg e. THEATRICAL PORTRAITS.—Two excellent litho graphs of the popular comedians, Messrs. Buckstone and Charles Mathews, have just been published. The face of Mr. Buckstone occupies five medallions, of which the centre shows him in his ordinary dress, while in the other four, which are placed at the c xners of the sheet, he appears as the representative of the several characters, Sir Andrew Ague-Cheek, Tony Lumpkin, Scrubb, and Acres. The por traits of Mr. Mathews are arranged on a similar principle, the one in the centre being Mr. Mathews " at home," while the others represent the several characters assumed in the farce " Patter v. Clatter." It is impossible for portraits to be more correct and full of life than these. They have been drawn on stone by Mr. Lane, from photographs taken by Mr. Watkins.—Morning Paper. GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—CAISTOR, NEAR YARMOUTH, Friday.—Last night the Caistor lifeboat, be onging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched to rescue the crew of the brig Lively, of Clay, Norfolk,which was observed on the north part of the Scroby Sands burn ing a tar barrel. It was blowing a heavy gale from the N.W., with sleet. The greatest difficulty was experienced in launching the lifeboat, as the sweep on the beach was tremendous, many of the noble men who assisted to launch the boat during the fearful night being rolled away by the sea twenty yards from the boat. However, the launching of the lifeboat was ultimately accomplished, but on approach ing the sands nothing could now be seen of the wreck. After toiling hard all night, and just before daylight, the lifeboat proceeded towards the light vessel, and there dis covered the wreck to the eastward. Here the huge waves were breaking with terrific force, but they must be faced. The lifeboat plunges through them, and the despairing mariners, who had given themselves up for lost during the fearful night, aro ultimately rescued. At this time a steam tug fortunately came up to the assistance of the lifeboat, and with its help the desp dring crew of five men and their vessel were rescued from their perilous situation The life boat's crew, consisting of fifteen men, state that this was one of the most dangerous services ever performed by them, and that nothing could have induced them t remain out that dreadful night except the hope of succouring their drowning fellow-creatut es. In this case the lifeboat crew will receive salvage of property, in addition to a reward from the National Lifeboat Institution. SIIBDDEN V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. —The case of " Shedden v. the Attorney-General" (Patrick cited to ace proceedings) was set down before the full Court for the 13th inst., and the petitioners were ready to proceed with the adjourned application for a rehearing and before a jury, but on the previous afternoon (the 12th) their solici tors received notice from the regis;:ry that the case was postponed by the Court, owing to one of the judges who originally heard the cause being unablo to attend. T N 1 1 / 4 114 PARIS, Nov. 15. The Constitutionnel of this morning, in an article signed by Dr. Veron, states that the report that M. Fould's programme included a project for a loan is unfounded. TURIN, Nov. 14, EVENING. The Nationalites of to•day asserts that Signor Rattazzi has obtained the intervention of the Em peror in order to decide Francis 11. to quit Rome shortly. Nov. 15. The Turin journals of to-day circulate a rumour that General Cialdini has tendered his resignation, and that Signor Rattazzi will relinquish the Presi dency of the Chamber of Deputies. FLORENCE, Nov. 15. The Nat lone of to-day publishes news from Rome to the 13th inst., announcing that two de spatches, dated the 2d of September, and addressed by the Brigadier of the Pontifical Gendarmes to Chiavone, whom he addressed by the title of " General," fell into the hands of the French troops in an encounter which they had with the brigands. NAPLES, Nov. 14. Chiavone, being pursued by the French troops, re-entered Italian territory, passed the river Leri, and after a short resistance occupied Isoletta. The National Guard are marching against him. LISBON, Nov. 12. * The Council of State has proclaimed the Duke of Oporto as King of Portugal. The Ministry remains unaltered. The funeral of the late King will take place on Saturday next. The Infant Dom Augusto is still dangerously ill. The kingdom is tranquil. * This telegram left Lisbon at 10 10 a.m. on the 12th inst., and arrived in London at 5 56 p.m. on the 15th inst. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 9. Riza Pasha has been removed from Smyrna to the inferior government of Coniah. Namik Pasha proceeds to-day to Bagdad. The Armenian Patriarch has resigned. A com mission has been appointed to settle the affairs of the community. Exchange is rising. ZARA, Nov. 15. The insurgents of the Herzegovina have retired to Zubzi, and have sent their wives and children into Austrian territory. The Turks are continually strengthening the for tification of their positions. It is said that the Prince of Montenegro has promised to remain neutral, and to confine himself to guarding his own frontiers. INDIA. BOMBAY, OCT. 28. (BY TELEGRAPH via ALEXANDRIA.)

A battle has taken place between the Russians and the Circassians. The Russians attacked 10,000 mountaineers with 15,000 troops. After a battle of upwards of six hours the assailants were put to flight, losing a general of division killed, and a colonel and two captains taken prisoners. Their loss in killed and wounded was about 6,000. The mountaineers had 1,500 killed and wounded. In other parts of Doghestan the Russians are greatly reduced by incessant attacks from the Cir cassians. FRANCE. Accounts from Toulon of the 10th inst. state that preparations are being made to embark on board the transport Aube 6,000,000 rations, 800 men, 150 horses, and the entire materiel of a battery of rifled artillery, supplied by the Minister of War, for the Mexican expedition. 1,200 Marines are expected from the northern ports by railway. A new system of iron plating is about to be applied to the ship-of the-line Castiglione, which it is believed will effect quite a revolution in naval operations. According to this new system all the old vessels may be con verted into iron-cased ships without the necessity of diminithing the number of guns or the amount of stores. Thus, in a short time, may be organised a fleet of steamships completely armed and covered with a coat of mail proof against the most pene trating projectiles. The steam frigate Canada, which brought a battalion of Turcos to Alexandria, thence to ba despatched to Cochin China, had ar rived in the roads of Toulon, having accomplished her mission.

A despatch from Lisbon, dated the 14th inst., announces that the steam corvette Bartolomeo-Diaz, having on board the new Sovereign of Portugal, the young King Louis 1., and the Duke de Beja, his brother, had cast anchor in the roadstead. The corvette had been delayed by strong winds from the westward, which have prevailed along the coast. A Portuguese frigate, which had been sent to meet her, came up with her about 20 miles off the mouth of the Tagus. The same despatch says : "The Royal Family of Pot tugal has received in its misfortune marks of the most lively sympathy from every Court in Europe, without exception. " It is said that the body of the late King will lie in state in a chapelle ardente for six days, from the 15th, and that the funeral will take place on the 21st of November." AMERICA. QUEENSTO WN, Nov. 15. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of Baltimore has arrived at Cork with 170 passengers. She left New York on Sunday, the 3d inst , hay ing been detained by a heavy gale. She received her despatches off Cape Race. The steamer City of New York arrived at New York o❑ the morning of the 3d inst., after a run of 9 days 20 hours from Cork. NEW YORK. I\l ov. 3. (PER CITY OF BALTIMORE VIA QUEENSTOWN.) There is no war news of special importance. It is stated from St. Louis that Generals Price and Ben. M'Culloch had united their forces, numbering together 30,000 strong, at Neostro, and that Gene ral Price intended giving battle there to General Fremont, and would, if he defeated him, march on St. Louis. Great numbers of Kentuckians, who had joined the Confederates, are reported to be returning home, ill clad and half-starved. Two hundred and thirty-eight dead bodies of Confederates were buried by the Federals after the battle at Frederickstown. Some fears are entertained thai the gales may have interrupted . the progress of the naval expedi tion, which on the evening of the 30th ult. was off Cape Hatteras. The Powhattan arrived at Washington yesterday from Annapolis. She passed the Confederate bat teries without being fired on. Secretaries Cameron and Chase arrived yesterday at New York from Washington. Money easy. Foreign exchange dull. Stock fell this morning, but subsequently recovered.

The ships now loading at St. Petersharg are the last that will be despatched this season, for winter has already set in, a telegram received by Messrs. Wilson, Sons, and Co., Hull, announcing the fact that the navigation between Cronstadt and St. Petersburg is closed ; although, according to a telegram received by Messrs. Brownlow, Lumsden, and Co., on Tuesday, the communication with Cron stadt was still open. All the steamers loading there were expected to leave for Hull or London in the course of the week. Freight had on Tuesday last fallen from 45s per ton to 20s per ton for tallow. The Humber and Emperor steamers have arrived at Hull this week, and the latter, as she has done on many previous occasions, fully demonstrated her seaworthiness. She brought a full cargo of wool, flax, seed, and tallow; and Capt. Brown states that on the 9th inst., being then on the way to Hull, about 12 30 a.m., while in la*_ 56 20, long 4 50 east, wind variable, during a light breeze 4 rom the N.N.E, he observed in the distance a dark cloud to the westward, which suddenly broke over the ship, with heavy thunder,vivid lightning, and strong hail. The lightning struck the ship on the foretopgallant mast truck, and then descended by the lightning conductors over the ship's side into the sea. The speed (91 knots) was reduced to half, and the vessel examined, when it was found that, beyond the breaking of the foretopgallant backstay, she had sustained no damage, thus showing the utility of lightning conductors on board ship. The owners of the Emperor, Messrs. Gee and Co., received on Wednesday a telegram stating that there were 12 degrees of frost at St. Petersburg. Messrs. Wil son, Sons, and Cc,. give a remarkable statement as to the effect of the present civil war in Ame rica on the cotton market. The mail steamers to Sweden, which have taken from Hull cotton to Gottenburg in large quantities, have brought—the Hero, 867 bales of American, and the Argo, 339 bales of American and 100 bales of East India cotton from Gotten burg. More importations are expected, the importers in Sweden preferring to take advan tage of the present high prices they can obtain in England l h a i n g d h , fr t o h m us a sh g o u w ar i t n e g r p to ric c e o s n w su i m li that where it could be least expected. Instead of import ing, they are sending their stocks to England. The illg it attract at supplies home, e Riga season is almost over ; the last steamer that will be despatched from Hull this season will be the Gertrude (Messrs. Pearson and Co.), on the 22d inst. The Riga freights have during the major part of the season been very good, but have declined within the last week or two, owing to the scarcity of goods. There has, however, been plenty of out ward freight at good prices. the T h Hi s Eto r C yo l o Nf S t h e 0 F exile I EE f l i S i T e o m C i L s t E o r e s, W ho e w a h l k w e l fie n d e to the King of Persia, and had allotted for his mainte nance the cities of Meguesia, Lampsacus, and Myus, in Asia Ai inor ; but it has never been certain whether he was really a trai or to Greece, or only a pretended scrvaat of her enemies. A late discovery probably throws new light upon his character, and aids us to determine this question. Two coins, struck by him at Magnesia, have been identified by Mr. W. H. Waddington. They show that he had such an authority that he could strike his own money, a right allowed to no Persian satrap, excepting on extraordinary °cart - sions for the payment of troops, although conceded to poweful vassals and to cities ; and one of them leads to a far more interesting inference. The latter is in the British Museum. It is remarkable as a plated coin, being of copper covered with a thick coating of silver. Ancient plated coins were intended to pass as silver pieces. They aro in general either forgeries of well-known currencies, as of Athens, or else they were issued by authority, as seems to have been done by the Tarentines, judging from their coins, dining the war with the Romans. The coinage of Themistocles could scarcely have been common enough to induce for gers to imitate it. The piece was, therefore, pro bably issued by him, and as the revenues of his terri tory must have been amply sufficient for his sustenance, there can have been no reason but covetousness for recourse to this expedient. Strange that alter so ma n y ages a co i n of Themistoc l es s hould be unburied, to add weight to the evi dence against his honesty,—once 0 wok.
