With respect to the Foot Guards, the Secretary at War affirmed distinctly, that considering the duties they performed, that description of troops was not more expensive than the same number of regiments of the line. The pay of the privates is Id. per diem above that of the marching regiments ; but if the latter were stationed in or near London, it is probable that their pay would require to be raised to the same level with that received by the Guardsmen, the officers of which household corps, in the rank of subalterns, have somewhat less pay than those of the line. With respect to the general staff of the army, it does not appear that the Secretary at War meditates any alteration in the establish ment at head-quarters, of which, by what we can collect from one portion of his speech, the duties have been discharged with great diligence and effi ciency, in so far as concerns a succe ssful superin tendence over the discipline and conduct of the troops. " He" (Mr. Ellice) "could declare that during the year that he had now held the office of Secretary at War, not one complaint had been made to him from any part of the country as to want of subordination, or the display of undisci plined conduct on the part of the army." We have heard, indeed, that the number of courts. martial and of secondary punishments has much in creased since the nearly total abolition of the brutal punishment of the cat-o'-nine-tails. But the habits of the soldier will no doubt in time be raised and im proved by this substitution of a more humanized for a most barbarous and disgusting practice. For the non-effective departments, and especially that to which the well-known though perhaps un grateful denomination of dead-weight has been affixed, we understand that the arrangements con.' templated by the Secretary at War, with a view to the half pay and gradual promotion of old officers, unable to purchase, are to restrict the former allow ance, in all cases (prospectively of course) to of ficers who shall have completed six years of active regimental service on full pay, and to give the senior officers actually serving with their regiments the same advantage in promotion without purchase as is conferred on officers in the navy, by leaving at the disposal of the Commander of the Forces, to be given by him to meritorious officers, one vacancy out of every three which may occur by casualties on the half-pay list. An old major will thus suc ceed to a half-pay lieutenant-colortelcy ; a captain, to a majority, &c., having an equal claim with other officers to be replaced on full pay as opportunities may offer. The advantage from this arrangement for the restriction of half pay will be considerable, and is probably designed as a step towards further limitations—as far as can be effected, without a breach of faith to those who are already in the army. The charge upon the public from the promotion of old officers will be comparatively tri fling, although even this partial prospect of advance ment will give some satisfaction to those who may at present feel sore from the superior means of officers able to purchase, and the over-crowded ranks of the army. The Secretary at War has also thrown out some valuable suggestions, with a view to consoli date the civil branches of the service in connexion with the War-office, by which the whole would be considerably simplified, all means of mystification be set aside, and the general expense diminished. We annex some detailed statements of what is contem plated, as well as what has been accomplished, and we conclude by repeating, that this is by far the most encouraging army estimate that we recollect to have seen. The reductions in the army esti mates of the year, it will be seen, consist of— t. Saving from omitting non effective men, and re ducing the emoluments of colonels, as recommended by the committee of last year, 7,0001. 2. Savings by other redactions in regiments, 1,0001. 3. By casualties in the course of the year not to be filled up. '75,0001. 4. By reduction in the charge for recruiting, ft 1,2701. 5. By reductions on contingencies, and other expenses, consequent upon the maintenance of a less number of troops, and by reduction of the amount hitherto granted to the Guards' mess, 18,873/. 6. On the staff estimate, although in the printed esti mate the charge under that head is apparently increased by the transfer of effective garrison appointments from the old garrison establishment, 1,200/. 7. On the public departments, War. office, &c., 4,3141. 8. Decreased vote for the Royal Military Asylum and Hibernian School, although the actual decrease of expense is only 3,4261., a balance being applied in aid, 8.7261. 9. On the volunteer vote, 19,1391. —The charge for the Irish Volunteer Staff, which had not been cal ed out for the last three years, omitted, and the additional charge of 31. per man for the clothing of the English Yeomanry for the present year, counterbalanced by an arrangement for inspecting the troops in quarters, instead of calling out the regiments for permanent duty, by which the pay and maintenance of the horse and man is reduced from 7s. to 3s. 4d. per day, the cost of the additional clothing being 26,000/., the saving, by the other arrangement, being 33,000/. Non-effective services 1. Unattached pay of general officers from casualties, 5,000/. 2. Retired full pay from casualties, 4,000/. Half.pay and military allowances, 25,000/.—The decrease from casualties on this estimate has not been so large as last year ; but more officers have been removed from half to full pay by arrangements of the Commander in-Chief. 4. Foreign half-pay and pensions, from casualties, 5,340/. 5. On compassionate fund, and allowances for wounds, deducting an increase of 1,656/. on widows' pensions, 4,360/. 6. Decreased vote on account of Chelsea pensions, 61,8981.—The actual decrease on expenditure about 25,0001., the difference being au increase of the appro priations in aid of the charge of about 13,500/., and a saving in a sum voted in former years for commutation. 7. Savinglon superannuations from casualties, 2,740/. 8. Exchequer fees omitted in the estimates, 30,0001. The total decrease of the sums required for effective services is For non-effective services was brought before Sir P. LAURiF, charged with having assisted two or three other persons to dupe several trades men by obtaining their acceptances under pretence of lending money on them. Mr. ago, Young, saw of an N ada'litelrlt4ise Oxford-street, f r in d. s t t i he eet, aboitttivo months newspapers, offering to discount bills on liberal terms. He applied, according to the address, at No. 8, Thanet-place, Temple bar, where he saw the prisoner, who referred him to Messrs. Hunt and Dawson, solicitors, 20, Bouverie. street ; but after some conversation he began to suspect them, and declined doing any business. They, however, afterwards called upon him at his own house, and suc ceeded in obtaining a bill for 651. to be discounted. The money was not forthcoming, and be bad called a great many times at the office in Bouverie-street without obtaining the least satisfaction. Prisoner asked if the transaction took place with him ? Mr. Young replied, the prisoner referred him to the others, and he saw him constantly afterwards in Bouverie street conducting himself as if he were a principal. Sir PETER—You were not very young, Mr. Young, to be duped after your suspicions were awakened ? Mr. Young said Mr. Dawson was a remarkably clever en, and older tradesman than himself had been tricked by this gang. Mr. Elder, of Richard-street, CommerciaLroad, said, dough his name was Elder, be had been quite as young as Mr. Young—(A laugh)—for he had been tricked out of a bill for 501. In consequence of a money-lending advertisement catching his eye, he called at Bouverie.street, about ten days ago. He inquired for Mr. Smith, and was introduced to Messrs. Hunt and Dawson, but he had some misgivings about them, and left them without doing any business. The two gentlemen, however, subsequently called upon him, and persuaded him to let them have the hill, giving him a formal receipt, as required by the sta tute, that the bill was given to Mr. Hunt for the purpose of being discounted, but cunningly omitting to recite who should have the proceeds. This was dated the 22d of February, and he had not been able to obtain and value for his bill. Edward Hill, of Luke-street, Mile-end, had applied to Messrs. Hunt and Dawson to discount a capital bill for 481. 10e., and he was appointed to receive the cash on Thursday afternoon. Being disappointed he went again on Friday, when he met the last two witne sses also anxiously waiting for Hunt and the cash. Being again disappointed they resolved to bring the matter to an issue, and they met again that morning and gave Smith into custody. They also met with Mr. Hunt, but he slipped through their fingers. He told them to follow him to Dawson's in King-street, where he called at a Mr. Charles Kirkman's, and going out at a back door in Skinner -street, escaped from them. Alexander Sbronci, a native of Rome, who keeps the Old Rum Puncheon, in Long-alley, Moorfields, observing an advertisement in the Morning Advertiser promising liberal advances on bills at three months, applied to No. 20, Bouverie-street, to have a bill for 291. 3s. 6d. discounted. Applications were, according to the advertisemetlitehtombre made to Mr. Smith, but be did the business w d t to take . George Hunt, on the 23d February, who agi l e t for the 15s. discount, and gave him the ' usual rece p. that the bill. Upon going purpose for which be took morning for his cash he found they bad flown. d Hunt The prisoner sai d he became acquaints with year and a half ago. Prier was then a clerk about Messrs. u t Passrnore and Taylor, solicitors, Basinghali street ; and Hunt was a bankrupt and a prisoner in the King's Bench, whom be a ttended at his leisure hours to arrange his accounts. About ten days before Christmas, Hunt told him he had opened offices in Bouverie-street and Thanet-place, and hired prisoner at 10s. to sit at the latter place from eleven to three daily, and take in letters, &c., and refer all comers to Bouverie-strtet. He would have an opportunity of seeing the books and understanding what business was done. He entered on the employ, but one brought a deed, and another some bills, which he refused to receive, perceiving that Mr. H. only wanted to make a stalking-horse of him, and so they parted as early as the Bth of January, Mr. Hunt telling him he was of no service. He had been at Bouverie-street pretty often since, but it was not as a man of business. He went only to dun them out of the trifle they owed him, and his name bad been used in the paper without his permission. Sir PETER asked who Dawson was? Prisoner said he did not know. A witness paid he had once kept a shop in the Borough. Hunt, at the time be was a bankrupt, had three establish ments; one in St. Martin's-lane, Cannon-street; one in Lambeth ; and another at Wapping, in the oil trade. Sir P. LAATRIE said he should have a fair opportunity to prove his innocence; but, the negotiations beginning with him, he was brought to the bar under auspicious circumstances, and connected with suspicious parties, and be must remand him, therefore, till Wednesday next. B OW-STREET. Mr. James Carter, landlord of the Union Tavern, Bow street, appeared to answer to a complaint which charged him with keeping open his house for the sale of refresh ments not liable to the duties of Customs and Excise between one and five o'clock on the morning of the 20th of February, contrary to the provisions of the statute. The defendant, having paid the fine, was discharged. Q UEEN- SQUARE. A RAFFLE FOR THE WORKS OF LORD BYRON James Shaw, William Brook, and Mary Ann West were charged before Messrs. WHITE and GREGORIE with most violently assaulting J. Adams and Mary his wife, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence of a host of witnesses that there was a raffia at the house No. 2, Dacre-street, Broadway, Westminster, the apartments of which are let out (to speak in polite terms) to lodgers. The prize to be raffled for was nothing less than a copy of Lord Byron's works, to consist of fifty members, at sixpence each, and all the literati from Brick-lane, Old Pye-street, and the adjoining neighbour hood mustered very strongly, each eager for the pike. To enliven the party, the owner, or reputed owner, of the work in question had procured a fiddler re nowned in the neighbourhood as superior to all the Paganinis in the world, to enliven or cheer the hearts of the guests by his dulcet strains. The members were all mustered, and the raffle commenced amidst the lively airs produced by the fiddler. Some fifteen or twenty members bad cast the dice, which proved to be very low numbers, and it was quite evident that they could not win the prize ; and an endeavour was made to bring his Lordship's works to a wrangle. This com menced with a cry of foal play amongst the low-numbered members, and a wish was expressed to have a dance during the remainder of the raffie, which was strongly objected to by those who had to throw, and words rose high. At this moment several ladies from Duck-lane, dressed in the latest fashion of that place, entered, and expressed a wish to have a gallopade ; the raffling ladies disputed their right to call for a gallop ide, and insisted upon the fiddler playing the cushion dance, at the same time ordering the Duck lane ladies to walk out, as they were determined not to admit any ladies with such flare-up dresses," which con sisted of yellow calico trimmed with a red glaze furniture pattern of the same quality.

THAMES POLICE. Our unqualified but necessary remarks on Saturday on the state of public opinion, and the policy of Ministers, naturally excited the public mind, and produced much observation from our contemporaries. The Morning Chro nicle has been a firm ally of the present Govern ment. We have upheld the Cabinet of Lord Grey through evil report and good report, be cause we sincerely believed that it combined the public men who, in the present state of parties and the aristocratic influence in the State, were the statesmen who alone could advantageously and liberally conduct the government of the country; and because the extent and honesty of their measures of parliamentary reform en titled them to the respect, the confidence, and the gratitude of the people. Placed by circumstances at the helm of public affairs, they boldly and successfully produced an organic change in the representation, which was destruc tive of Toryism and a certain ultimate termination of the corrupt system of expenditure and patron age which had placed the nation on the verge of ruin and revolution. Nor can it be denied that Ministers have achieved for the public many great practical reforms. A considerable re duction of taxation has been effected ; much disgusting patronage has been reduced ; many important grievances have been inquired into— the exposition of which is tantamount to re dress—and the municipal commissions of Eng land, Wales, and Ireland, added to the great measure of burgh reform, constitute acts of li beral government, the benefit of which we have fully acknowledged and cannot be too grateful for as remedial legislation consequent on the Cabinet policy. But the question is not what Ministers have done but what they may do and ought to do. The contest of opinion in this country is the political supremacy of liberal or Conservative principles. The predominance of liberal opinions cannot be questioned. The large city and town constituencies have almost exclusively returned representatives of popular principles. The majority of the county electors have demonstrated the same decided sentiments. The House of Commons is, in a great degree, the mirror of public opinion. The power of the Tories is extinct in that branch of the Le gislature. No combination of circumstances or events can restore their predominant influence ; and if Ministers will only use the instrument of their own creation, they cannot be displaced or defeated in the proposition of liberal measures. The old nick-names of party are disused, and have lost their magic. The people— the electoral constituency—disregard and de spise the professions and tactics of " parties." A small section of the House of Commons still retains the designation of Tories ; but even the Tories have been obliged to christen themselves by the new appellation of " Conservatives"—that is to say, a party obstinately and. blindly deter mined to adhere to the remnant of religious bigotry and political corruption, and to defend to the last hour the few remaining holds of po litical monopoly and civil abuses. But the House of Commons contains no Whig party. The generic distinction is extinct in the political changes and revolution of time. The recent ministerial measures of representative reform have Mac-Adamised " party," and no set of men can conduct the administration of public af fairs without submission to public opinion. lithe prejudices of the House of Lords and the preroga tive of the Crown,will not conform to the new order of things, there will be an early end of the an cient form of the British Government ! If the aristocratic classes of society cannot discern the certain, the inevitable consequences of the recent new distribution of political power, they will soon cease to form a department of the Govern ment of the country. Ministers, therefore, must make up their minds to go on with the rapid and irresistible current of public opinion, or they will be assuredly displaced. There is no mid dle course—no "juste milieu." It is impos sible to uphold the old " regime." Party men may temporarily possess and enjoy the reigns of Go vernment, but ordinary sagacity foresees that such a conflict of " parties" and persons cannot last long. In a few short years some of the most eminent public men of the present day will be " called to their fathers ;" and in the mean while public opinion—liberal principles—is gaining an omnipotent ascendancy. We have consistently and boldly upheld the present Ca binet, we may therefore be allowed to offer it advice. In our comments on the able and use ful pamphlet, entitled, " The Reformed Parlia ment and the Reform Ministry," we gave a Supplement, in which it will be remembered that we urged on Ministers the early preparation and proposition of a few practical and necessary pub lic measures for the present session of Parlia ment. We stated that the people were not un reasonable—that all sensible reformers estimated the political difficulties of Ministers—and that the public only required practical and progressive reforms to satisfy them of the good conduct of public affairs. We urged on the consideration of the government the bold countenance of the liberal party and liberal measures. It cannot be doubted that the country expected a limitation of the septennial duration of Parliament—the proposition or admission of some practical system of national education—the reformation of the abuses and tithe system of the established church —the redress of Irish grievances, in the modifica tion of a hierarchy alien and hateful to the great majority of the Irish people—the recognition of the few reasonable claims of the Protestant dissenters of the kingdom—the bestowal of the political power and patronage of the government on the liberal interest, their coura geous and generous adherents. And what is the aspect of the policy of Ministers in the pre sent session ? Where are such measures— what real satisfaction have the reformers in the apparent policy of Ministers ? Although it is notorious that a large majority of the House of Commons is pledged to support a limited dura tion of Parliament, Ministers do not boldly lead public opinion and take credit on the question. , The subject of general education has not been sanctioned by the Government, who might now gain infinite credit by the simple institution of an inquiry into the existing state of education 'with a view to some practical system for the diffusion of the blessings of national instruction. We'know not what is the ministerial intention with regard to church reform, except from the obscure and guarded phraseology of a " King's speech." Ireland is the daily topic of the agita• von of the Irish membersp,and it is left to Mr. O'Connell to moot the most important subjects of Hibernian policy. The Protestant dissenters petition and remonstrate in vain ; and an active and liberal—an overwhelming class, are dissatis fied that the questions of church rates,—of civic registration of birth, baptism, and marriage, —of admission to the Universities, are unsettled and unpromised. Surely Lord Holland, Lord Lansdowne, Lord J. Russell,—the ancient allies To prove the confession Thomas Jackson was called. He said—l took the prisoner to the Reading Gaol. When we got as fir as Streetley, we stopped to bait our horse at the Bull. The prisoner went up to a picture that was there, and he smiled. He said " she turned her eyes about like that picture when her head was off," and be turned his own eyes like it. Mr. Farrow, who was present, cautioned him not to talk in that way. The prisoner joked a good deal about it while our horse was feeding. He said be had done the murder, and he wished me to communicate it to his father. He wished me to write to his father. He said we will begin at the Squirrel, which is a public-house in Wantage. He said lie came from thereto Mrs. Pullen's, and as he was going in doors there was a man coming oat, and another man inside the house drinking, who had a little dog, and seemed as if he was courting the widow, but the man soon drank up his beer and went away. The prisoner farther said, that Mrs. Pullen cut him a rasher of bacon, which he frizzled on the point of his knife—and after having finished his supper be sit down near the window, his bean-hook and cup being on the table, and that he took op the cup in one band and the book in the other, and he hit her with the bean.book and cut her head off in a moment. He said he meant to have hit her with the back of the hook, and he said as soon as he had given the blow he fell back against the parlour door, as if some one had lifted him ; but he sprang forward again and tore her pocket off, and then took the candle to get out, but could not find the bolt of the door, as he let the candle fall and trod upon it; however, on touching the bolt with his thumb he got out, and folded the pocket up under his right arm. He said that he washed his hands in the river, and threw the pocket into a pond. I asked bow long it was all about ; and he said from a quarter of an fluor to twenty minutes at farthest. He said ttmere was no one with him when he first went into the houseof the deceased. James Jones the younger said—l was with the last wit ness. he prisoner said that he frizzled a rasher of bacon on his knife, and proposed to Mrs. Pullen to pass the night with her, whereupon she said she would give him a knock on the bead with the poker. Toat be then left the house for a short time, and on his return he took up his bean-honk, and had her head off momentarily. The prisoner declined making any defence. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up the evidence. Verdict—Guilty. Mr. Justice PmmsoN passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, and ordered him for execution on Monday next. There was a great number of ladies in Court, and among them two very interesting young Quakeresses. Farm r. REX V. THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIREd This was an indictment for stopping up seven roads. The roads in question were two of them in and five of them near East Hampstead Park. - It was contended, on the part of the prosecution, that these were ancient highways, and that it was illegal to stop them up; but, on the part of the noble defendant, it was contended-Ist, that they were not roads, but merely oc cupation ways; and, 2d, that supposing that they were ancient highways, they were properly stopped up by virtue of the award of the commissioners, under an enclosure act, which was passed in the reign of his Majesty King George the Fourth. A great deal of evidence was adduced, and the trial lasted two days. The Jury found that the roads were ancient highways, and returned a verdict for the defendant, subject to the opinion of the Court of King's Bench on the question as to the award.

If they do not adopt this palpable policy, the Liberals will be temporarily divided ; a third and unappeasable party will be rapidly created, and premature changes will be inevitable, and de structive of the best interests and institutions of the country.

It is from no disposition to flatter the exist ing ministry, or its official organ the Secretary at War, and as little to pay court to Mr. Joseph Hume, that we concur with him in describing the present estimates as by far the clearest, soundest, and most encouraging that have been submited to the House of Commons for many years. Mr. Ellice has shown throughout the strongest desire to let in whatever light could be shed upon the administration of the army in all its branches abroad and at home, by his liberal adoption of every retrenchment which he found practicable among the plans proposed by the military committee of last session, and by his immediate assent to Colonel Davies's, recommen dation of a committee of inquiry into the military expenditure of the colonies. Had there been a wish on the part of Government for the continuance of abuse in any quarter, means might doubtless have been found to frustrate most of the advantages de rivable from the first of those committees, and to refuse the formation of the other. So long as con siderable uneasiness was entertained with regard to the working of the great meaiure of emancipation in the colonies, it might have been a most impru dent step to reduce the effective strength of an army of which, it appears from the speech of the Secre tary at War, that even in their ordinary state of repose those valuable but precarious possessions require 3-Bths of its gross establishment, or 30,000 men out of 80,000. But witn the evidence since received of the fortunate and successful manner in which the new law has already begun to operate, Government would be unjustifiable for not endeavouring to relieve the coun try from all superfluous soldiers, and the Secretary at War has proposed accordingly that the rank and file of the service shall be suffered to die away, or shall be discharged to the extent of nearly 8,000 men—about one-tenth of the entire standing army, exclusive of that portion of it which is employed in India, and paid out of the Com pany's revenue. In effecting all military reductions, the plan which ought manifestly to be most ap proved is that of a diminution in the number of rank and file, being that description of military men which can be replaced with the greate s t prompti tude, and trained at the least expense of time or money. There is little pecuniary saving by the reduction of officers to half-pay, and much cost, as well as inefficiency, incurred by their recall to the service, after years of idleness and desuetude ; whereas, if the frame-work or regimental officers o f the army be kept up, and a sudden augmenta tion of the effective force be called for, even to the amount of 20,000 men, such an introduction of rank and file may be accomplished, and the whole body disciplined, without the slightest disturbance of the machine, and with hardly any sensible demand for an increase in the number of officers. But once break up the corps of com missioned officers, and should an emergency, how ever sudden, arise, it will take many years to re establish them. The total saving in the effective strength of the army, as detailed in a subjoined pa per, and as compared with former estimates, amounts to within a very trifle of 195,0001., and the force kept up is maintained on a footing of much more careful economy than that of 1792—the pattern year with many persons ; but one in which it is now ST.Ta u A t t o u 'O l ---.410.-------;,,..L.„rs n „ 0 ,71). t o p•/ 7s. to 7s. 3d. to I°L ~ 1 ' 7TwELL.....heawt C (a 0 hve 1 r :1 a,g 7 2 1 5 t r 1. ; 1 0. 6 00d, M 7 A ...... 1i ar i e Ty e , 1 6: , 0 6d. 5. ....,01 0,...0 0 , i 95 ' Od. t ° ' PENZANCE-Wheat , 193. to 20s.—Bar,ejt,rorit, o. ° ': Os. to 7s. 6d.—Beef and Mutton, sd. to 51 ' 9s * Oa ,- Butter, 12d. er lh.

(Before Lord LYNDIIURST and a Special Jury.) ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION-WEBSTER V. TENNANT, GENT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff a surgeon, at St. Alban's, against Mr. Tennant, who resided in Rus . sell-square, to recover various sums of money, amounting to 4001., which had been expended for the purposes of his election in 1830 and 1831. Mr. Webster was a person of influence in what was called the independent interest of St. Alban's, and by his exertions had secured Mr. Ten nant's return in 1830. It was anticipated the election would be of short duration, and it was necessary the member for St. Alban's should give sterling and sensible proofs of his regard for the interests of the town ; and Mr. Webster took upon himself to distribute coals to the amount of 1281., which the defendant partly paid by a cheque for 901., for which credit bad been given in this action. The crisis arrived, the Reform Bill was thrown out, a dissolution of Parliament took place, and Mr. Ten nant again announced himself as a candidate. Com mittees were formed, and preparations were made for securing his return, when he declined to come forward on account of the expenses. But there were some old accounts of the former election which still remain unsettled. Mr. Webster had drawn a cheque for 3301., which was ad. vanced for the purpose of securing Mr. Tennant's second return for St. Alban's. Mr. Tennant now denied his liability.—Verdict for the plaintiff, with 3201. damages. 299,120 The former garrison vote is distributed under va rious heads in the estimate. The ordinary charges, and which the committee considered must be main tained, are added to the staff, and will come an nually under review as establishment. The sinecure commands placed under the head of garrisons to be abolished as vacancies occur, and a new account opened for rewards for distinguished military ser vices to the extent recommended by the committee, and to be granted as vacancies occur in the sinecure garrison appointments. The farther_ economical arrangements and savings contemplated in the en suing year are, the transfer of Kilmainham Hospital to the Board of Ordnance, as a depot for the artil lery and engineers in Ireland ; the lease of the present station at Island-bridge having expired, and the buildings requiring expensive repairs; i the inmates of the hospital being either admitted n the infirmary or at Chelsea, or permitted to go with additional allowances on the out-pension at their option : the abolition of the Board of Army Comp trollers. These reductions wilt each produce a sav ing of from 11,0001. to 12,0001. a year. The trans fer of widows' pensions and half-pay of ordnance and commissariat departments to the department of the War-office, by which the same branch of busi ness is conducted for the army; and the commis sariat expenditure to be entirely transferred to the department of the War-office. The contracts, 80-) fur the present to the Board of Ordnance. The whole payment of the ordnance as well as the com missariat transferred to the Secretary at War, to be conducted through the office of the paymaster general, so that the whole army expenditure will be paid under one head, and the two separate establish ments for this operation abolished,— Times.

Munns continued to get worse during the day, and in the afternoon, by the advice of Dr. Byrne, he was removed to the London Hospital. Oa Saturday night Young, an inspector, and Ewart, a sergeant of the K divi 'ion, accompanied by the father of the young man, waited on Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. COMBE, at this office, and stated that Munns was in a very dangerous state, and that his recovery was considered hopeless. Mr. Munus stated that his son had given evidence against the Irish coalwhipper, named M'Carthy, a few weeks ago, for assaulting him and another person, and APC.trthy is now under recogniz awes to keep the peace. Witness believed that M'Cartiiy was one of those con. cerned in the outrage, for tie had lately heard him threaten to murder his son. Mr. COMBE, accompanied by Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, immediately hastened to the Hospital, and, on ar riving at the bedside of the sufferer, they found him in a most deplorable condition.
