The Government of I aiiia hopes, as the result of the efforts that are now being made, that the finances of India will be placed on a thoroughly - sound footing ; that they will be rendered adequate, not only to enable the Govern ment of India to provide fully for the legitimate wants of every branch of the public service, but to be free from all serious elements of uncertainty. Provision must also be made for that increase of expenditure on the whole machi nery of civilised administration which must be foreseen by any Government desiring to do its duty to the nations which Providence has intrusted to our rule in India. 15.

By WALTER TIIORNBUIIY. "Mr. Thornbury writes with knowleilze and enthusiasm. The interest of his sketches is unquestionable."—Examiner. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough -street. was lacier iylor, age, rable On sally ortly 11, he efore d the g not aylor made " 17. The object of these measures is twofold:-Ist, to ascertain beforehand the probable requirements of the public service, so as to enable the Government of India to review end provide for the wants made known to it, and to main tail' an effectual check on the subsequent expenditure; 2dly, to enable every branch of the public service periodically to review its own wants, and to submit the result of such review to the Government of India. " 18. For this purpose every office in every department will be required to prepare annually an estimate i of its pro bable requirements, during the coming year. This will be submitted, through the head of each department, to the local Government, and ultimately to the Government of India, by which the estimate will be finally sanctioned, and laid down as the guide for expenditure during the coming year. " 19. Every authority through whose hands the estimate passes on its way to the Government of India will be re quired carefully to scrutinise the demand thus made on the public income ; and, as long as the present financial pressure continues, it will be the imperative duty of every head of an office or department to reduce the estimate to the very lowest amount consistent with the absolute necessities of the public service. " 20. The facilities which will be given for effecting reductions will henceforward be greater than have ever before been afforded, for the budget and audit rules have been so framed as to leave to the head of each local Govern ment, or of each branch of administration, a much greater discretionary power than has heretofore been allowed in re-arranging the details of expenditure. "21. The grand totals of each department will be fixed by the Government of India in the sanctioned estimates, and the responsibility of keeping within the limits so fixed will be strictly enforced. But, in re-arranging the details of the expenditure within each department, the discretion of the local administration will be fettered only by the necessity of implediate report to the Government of India, and by the observance of such rules relating to prospective expenditure, and to rates of salary and of pension, as are needed to secure uniformity of practice, and a due regard to the pledged faith of the Government of India. " 22. The time, moreover, is Peculiarly favourable for such a review of the requirements of the public service as this duty demands. India is at peace, externally and inter nally; and while the presence of an army much stronger than has ever before been at the disposal of the Govern ment of India gives a feeling of general security, it has been the desire of the Government of India to give the fullest effect to the principles laid down in her Majesty's proclamation, to remove every cause of heart-burning, dis • trust, and animosity, and to secure to her Majesty's sub jects of every rank, and of all races and creeds, the fullest and most undisturbed enjoyment of their respective rights and lawful usages. The renewed influx of European capital and enterprise, after a brief period of suspension, is one of the many facts which indicate the necessity for a revision and extension of many branches of our administrative machinery; but it is, at the same time, evidence of a return of that public confidence which alone can render such re vision profitable, and such extension practicable. "23. It follows, however, that to bring the expenditure in each office down to the standard of any former year will not be sufficient. The reasons of, and necessity for, every item must be closely scrutinised, and must be tried by the test of the present and prospective wants of the public service. Nothing but the clenrest proof that the faith of Government is committed can be allowed to excuse the continuance of any expenditure for which absolute neces sity cannot be shown. " 24. The fact that we are at present spending 16 per cent. in excess of our estimated income has been already noticed. It is thereby evident that, after making allowance for those items which, like the interest on the public, debt, are beyond our immediate control, it will be necessary that that portion of our current expenditure which we can con trol must be reduced by a much higher rate than 16 per cent., in order to bring the total outlay within the limits of an income equal to even that of the current year, 1860-61, which, it must be remembered, is estimated at a higher rate than that of any previous year.

Unless therefore the aggregate estimates for 1861-62 show, exclusive of interest on the publiC debt, a total reduc tion exceeding 16 per cent. on our estimates of 1860-61, we shall not attain the desired and absolutely indispensable result of equalising our current income and our current ex penditure for the corning year ; and considerably more than this must be effected in the way of reduction of expenditure, or of increase of income, before the finances of India can be pronounced as resting on a sound and satisfactory footing. 0 4 0 •• 7 1 5 2 2 0 "26. The Governor-General in Council trusts that every head of an office, whatever the class of that office may be, will bear this truth in mind in framing his estimates for the coming year. There is probably no office in which some immediate reduction is not practicable, and the smallest reduction in expenditure or increase of revenue will have its effect. "27. Tho higher the class of the office or department, the , greater 'will be the responsibility of its head in this respect. " 28. Many will have some control over income as well as expenditure, and will be able to promote the desired re sult by increasing the former as well as by diminishing tho latter. Projects for general taxes cannot be considered with a view to any immediate action ; but there are malty branches of existing income which are susceptible of mate rial improvement, some by a modification, others by a stricter enforcement of the present rules ; there are many more which must become more fruitful with the general prosperity of the country, and there are probably none which will not feel the effect of a wise and liberal general administration. " 29. There is one great branch of the public expenditure over which few minor offices or departments have any direct control. The military expenditure is directly affected mainly by the action of the Governments of India, of Madras, and of Bombay, and by the great officers of depart ments of military administration. But it may be truly said that there is hardly an office or department in the public service in India whose action does not more or less affect the answer to that most important question—What is the amount of military force indispensably required in India? The great political functionaries and officers at the head of the various separate administrations have a direct voice in the amount of military force to be kept for local protection within their several jurisdictions. Every detachment saved —nay, every sentry dispensed with, is a practical and effectual step in reducing our military expenditure. This power for reduction is shared by many district officers ; and there is no officer of that class with a range so limited but that he can contribute so to rule the cou ntr y that ethall be possible to reduce our standing army to the fewest rea sonable limit. The more prosperous and the more con tented we can make the people of each .district theor e nearer we shall be able to approach to that lunditt.h e cost . . of various been prominently brought to the notice " 30. Over the police expenditure, an semi-military bodies, all administration and . district officers and the Governor-General in have direct influence. The mode in which economy and efficiency in this branch of the . public tervice may be best r commend the subject to their promo of s oC t f ri a o nl u le i lrhocuearlssd attention, l'oettnenli t y : f : u:i ff re u t 411 ' i d e; g , next to the military charges, the readiest means of at once diluinishing the burdens on the resources of Government. 31. The Governor-General in Council trusts that the united efforts of the various offices and departments through which the estimates will have to pass, and of each (level n- Inca and alittini2ll.Lii , ot by which they Will be submitted to the Government of India, will effect such a reduction in their aggregate amount that it will not be necessar y for the Government of India to enforce any further check beyond a strict observance of the limit of the sanctioned estimates. The work is one in which every officer of every grade in the service of Government can bear his part, and it is one which the Governor• General in Council feels confident will not lie neglected by any who have at heart the prosperity of the country, or who duly value the character and credit of the British Government in India.

REPULSE OF DR. CAMPBELL'S FORCE FROM SIKKIM. (From the Bombay Times and Standard.) By special telegram from Calcutta, dated. Dec. 7, intelligence has reached us of the defeat it tb e force which advanced into Sikkim in October last ; from 30 to 40 of the Sebundee Sapper corps are reported killed, and the gun which accompanied the force is lost. As it is•not often that public attention is drawn to this remote district of the Himalayas, the following short account of British connexion with it, and of the causes which led to the expedition the disaster of which we now record, may prove acceptable to our English readers. In 1835 we wanted a sanitarium for Bengal, and offered to purchase Darjeeling from the Rajah, as we now offer to buy Parisnath from the Ra.nec of Palgunge. He at first declined to take payment, but subsequently received 3,000 r. a year, which was afterwards doubled. All went on well till he appointed a Dewan who has been described as a bad specimen of Yeh. At his instigation regular raids were made into our territory, our subjects were murdered or carried off, and no satisfaction could be obtained. At last even the Superintendent of Darjeeling . and Dr. Hooker were kidnapped, and were rescued only when we despatched troops to their assistance. In consequence of this we ceased to pay the Rajah his allowance, and in 1850 annexed a portion of his territory. In 1853 he abdicated in favour of his son, and since then our relations with Sikkim have been at least peaceable, if not friendly. But for some time back the old Dewan, having asserted his influence over the new Rajah, has resorted to the old custom of massacre and plunder. Warnings, remonstrances, and threats were alike in vain, and unavailing to procure redress. Aggressions on the part of the Sikkim State reached its climax when, during the past rainy season in July last, a party of kidnappers suddenly passed over into our territories, and, having cruelly maltreated a man and his wife, made a rapid retreat into Sikkim, carrying away as captives the two young children of their victims. Some of our ryots also have beeri forcibly carried into captivity by these marauding subjects of the Fikkim Rajah, and this insecurity of person and life has tended greatly to disturb the minds of our peaceable subjects. Dr. Campbell, the Superintendent of Darjeeling, promptly demanded redress at the hands of the Rajah, the restitution of the children, and the delivery of the criminals to us. The children, after some little delay, were recovered ; but the Rajah, yielding to the pernicious counsels of the Dewan, refused to surrender the guilty parties, or to restore the ryots carried off from British territory, not withstanding that the justice of the Superinten dent's demands was urged upon him by the Lamas and influential men of the country. In this state of affairs the Government, adopting the recommen dations of the Superintendent, authorised the occupation of a further portion of the Sikkim ter ritory in addition to that annexed on the misun derstanding of 1850. Accordingly, in October, 100 men of the Sebundee Sappers, under their comman dant, Captaiff Murray, with one gun (a 3-pounder), marched down to a place called Goke, upon the confines of the British territory, ready to cross the Rummam river into Sikkim, should the Rajah decline to accede to our demands. This potentate still refusing reparation, the force above mentioned, 'accompanied by the Superintendent, crossed the river and entered Sikkim on the Ist of November last, hoisting the British flag under a salute of 21 guns, and faking possession in the Queen's name of a tract of country defined in a proclamation issued by the Superintendent to the Sikkim officials. It sets forth merely that the Rajah having declined compliance with our just demands, we were going to occupy that portion of his country lying to the north of the Rummam River, and to the west of the Great Runjeet River; that we intended injury to no one, provided our force were not molested, in which case the people must expect the chances of war. The Superintendent also addressed some friendly and conciliatory remarks to the officials, enjoining them to use their influence for the pre servation of quiet and order. This proclamation is stated to have produccd the best effects upon the population. The area of the newly occupied ter ritory is stated at about 050 square miles, and con tains within its limits one of the loftiest peaks of the Himalaya. Speaking of the expedition, the writer in the Englishman, from whose narrative and from the Friend of India the foregoing account is taken, says, somewhat vain-gloriously we cannot help thinking, " Truly, this act of Dr. Campbell may be deemed a plucky affair, considering that in 1840-50 Mr. Lushington and General Young with some 2,500 men were afraid to advance into Sikkim when the honour of our nation was much more involved than it is at present." Plucky, no doubt, but we cannot help thinking not very prudent. Unquestionably, the main cause of the disaster which has overtaken Captain Murray's force is its unimposing strength. True policy requires that, whenever our Government thinks it necessary to make a military demonstration among the hill barbarians on our frontier, the force sent should be such as effectually to overawe resistance and make success a certainty. This is the system so success fully carried out by Chawberlain and Edwardes on our northern frontier. Petty detachments only invite attack, and, if hard pressed, are pretty sure to suffer defeat, with all its embarrassing compli cations and loss of prestige. * Home, Foreign, Military, and Public Works De partments. t Governments of Bengal, Madras, Bombay, North- Western Provinces, and Punjab.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopps and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closelyanalogousin reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident, or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chitty from Self-incurred Afflictions. datim;" back, in too numerous insf ances, to a period lourr preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice. which bumpily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with ro litt.le obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised wirier the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department ot pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in ' t B ir assuming Serioustitles legal question, virtually r'pelled from consultation with prac tit toners of standing, and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes i tim n : of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby h penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the ' medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed r are in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hepes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chro lie embitterment by permanent content.

" We (Englishman) have taken some trouble to inquire about the death of the infamous Nana, which some of our contemporaries throw doubts upon. From reliable reports we have ascertained that this sc3undrel died on the hills immediately below Nepaul in Srawun Budee Punchumee, in the month of August, 1858, with some 200 followers around him. Balarao, his brother, who is still alive, although the Oude Government reported him dead also, performed the funeral ceremonies, burn ing the corpse, as usual, on the banks of the Sooper norekha, On the day of his shradh—that is twelve days after the burning, the Mahommedans in his suite quarrelled with the Hindoos, because Balarao would not allow any cattle to be killed at that time. A battle was fought, but was soon put an end to by Mohummud Khan, a follower of Hurt at Muhul, interfering. This detestable scoundrel, Nana, was destroyed by jungle fever, after having been ill for twenty-seven days. " The Friend of India, on the other hand, says : An officer of her Majesty's 3d Europeans writes us confirming the account which we gave of the pro bability of the Nana being still alive. Two months ago a brother officer, who has since left India, saw a letter from a eunuch of the ex-King of Oude, mentioning that the Nona was still alive. "Letters from Nagpore inform the Englishman that the rebels at Raepore have fled, and dispersed in various directions. The Government granted to the Ranees of the lat 3 Rajah three valuable Jag heers in the Bombay Presidency, the profits of which are to be paid to them annually." THE FINANCES OF INDIA. (From our Calcutta Correspondent.) CALCUTTA, DEC. 3, 1860. There is nothing going on worthy of a detailed account. The Government has published a state ment showing an estimated deficit in the current year of £6,273,000, with all productive public works stopped. The indigo news is of the same character as last reported. The enclosed circular gives an accurate statement of the general disposition of the ryo ts. Good accounts from all parts of India. I enclose also the Government financial state ment : " FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT. "Fort 'William, Nov. 19, 1860. "Resolution,—The Governor-General in Council has lately had before him the sketch estimates for the current year 1860-61. These documents have generally been found ia former years to represent a close approrintation to the actual financial results of the year to which they relate. They have been prepared this season with unusual care, and they foreshadow a result somewhat less unfavourable than had been anticipated from retr-ns and calculations which have been for some time before the public; but they show more clearly than ever the imperative necessity which exists fcr the:most active and sustained exerticn to enforce eco nomy in 911 branches of the administration, in order to bring the current expenditure of the State within its in come. " 2. The total income of the Government of India for the year 1860-61, from all sources, exclusive of income-tax, is estimated, in round numbers, at £38,140,000 Income-tax at Giving► a total income, from every source, of £39,140,000 The expenditure in India is esti mated at 38,430,000 That in England, according to the latest information received here, at Giving a total expenditure by the Indian Government, in India and in England, of 45,413,000 Thus leaving a deficit of income, as compared with expenditure, of not less than which must be met, for the time, by drawing on the balances in the Government treasuries. " 3. This deficit is equal to more than 16 per cent. on the total 'expected income from all sources, including taxes only lately introduced, and the produce of which is, therefore, a matter of extreme uncertainty. As compared with the in come from permanent sources (i.e., exclusive of income-tax which is imposed for only a definite period), the deficit would be nearly 16i per cent. "4. But the fact that the current expenditure of India is still 16 per cent. in excess of the largest safe estimate of current income does not represent the full gravity of the present condition of our finances. "5. There is much of the estimated expenditure which admits of no possible reduction during the current season. Such, for instance, is the interest of the public debt, which now forms a total annual charge of £4,480,000, and on ac count of which £4,246,600 is estimated to be paid in 1860- 61. There are other charges, which it is needless to specify, but which amount in the aggregate to a very large sum, and aro not practically susceptible of any immediate reduction ; and some, like the guaranteed interest on railway capital, must, for seine years to come, annually increase. " 6. Again, the estimates for some services are, for the current year, not only lower than is desirable for efficient administration, but lower than it is possible to keep •them permanently. " 7. For example, not only are necessary and useful public works of all kinds deferred, but works calculated directly to improve the revenue, and to the execution of which Govern ment is more or less pledged, and on some of which large sums have been already expended, are suspended to such an extent that an outlay of not less than eight millions sterling would be required to complete them. The expenditure in the construction of railways, also, has been curtailed to a very considerable amount, so as to avoid immediate pressure on the finances, owing to the temporary inability of some com panies to deposit such an amount of capital as would save the Government from the risk of having to take the works into its own hands, and to complete them at the public ex pense. " 8. No precautions have been neglected by the Govern ment of India which could tend to enforce the most rigid economy in every branch of the administration. In addi tion to general measure of reduction, commissions have been appointed to scrutinize charges in the principal branches of the public service, and their labours, especially those of the Military Finance Commission, have been attended with the best practical results. " 9. No officer of Government can fail to be aware of the earnest efforts which have been made to reduce expenditure in every department, and it is only, duo to the several Go vernments and Administrations of India, and to the whole body of Government servants, who have so ably seconded the wishes of the Government of India, and by whose united exertions great reductions have been carried out, to draw attention to the result as shown in the diminution of expen diture which has been already effected since the restoration of peace in India. When it is considered that the struggle in 1857-58 was one quite without parallel in the history of our empire, that the restoration of peace was not proclaimed till late in 1858, and that up to the latter part of 1859 the necessity for keeping troops on a field establishment had not passed away, the Governor-General in Council feels strongly that the thanks of the Government of India are due to its officers and servants of every grade, alike for the rapid manner in which means were organised and aug mented to meet and crush mutiny and rebellion, and for the vigour with which retrenchments were enforced, when the immediate necessity for unusual exertion had passed away. " 10. Nevertheless, the fact remains that we are still spending month by month 16 per cent, more than our cur rent expected income. " 11. It is also a fact, which daily becomes more clearly evident, that reductions of expenditure, comparatively easy at first, become more difficult as the process continues, and that each. successive measure of economy becomes directly, as well as relatively, more arduous than its predecessor. " 12. Moreover, the just expectations of her Majesty's Government, and of the people of India and of England, will not be fulfilled by a simple return to the state of things which existed previous to 1856-57. Late evonts have made it apparent that the finances of India were not then, and had not been for many years previous, in a really sound and healthy condition. The Government; of India was not able to do its duty with regar d to public works, public educa tion, or even the administration of pub lic j ustice. The in come and expenditure were so nearly balanced, even in the time of the most profound peace , t hat no sufficient surplus of income was left to meet the temporary increase of charg es without adding to the public debt, while some of the most productive sources of income were precarious, and liable to sudden and serious diminution. - tt 13. To revert to a state of things so little satisfactory will net be an adequate result after years of the strictest eco nomy, and after the imposition of new taxes which have RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 12th of December, and from Calcutta to the 3d December. We take the following from the Bombay Gazette of the 12th of December : " The Viceroy has left Calcutta on his journey into Central India, having prefaced his departure with another act of clemency—namely, the pardon of all except the most blood-stained and refractory of the convict mutineers. " The Legislative Council has resumed its labours. The most important measure to be brought under its consideration is the Penal Code. Some of its provisions are absurdly severe, others quite unintelligible. " We regret to report some disturbances in the Bombay Presidency on account of the income tar. At Surat, on the 29th ult., the people assembled in thousands in an open part of the city and began to clamour against the tax, declaring that they would shut up their shops and cease all business till the act was repealed. The magistrate, Mr. E. Ravens croft, behaved with great promptitude and decision. Collecting a body of police, horse and foot, he quickly dispersed the mob, arrested 30 of the ring leaders, and condemned 25 to six months' imprison ment with hard labour, the other five being acquitted for want of evidence. Mr. Ravenscroft's energetic action was successful in at once restoring order. All thought of opposition ceased ; and the returns of income are now sent in with praiseworthy regularity. At Bassein the popular discontent has assumed an even more insolent form. The deputy magistrate, Mc. Hunter, was assaulted while sit ting in his office, and with difficulty made his way through a crowd of rioters to the pier, where he jumped into a boat and escaped to Tannah. Very numerous arrests have since been made at Bassein, ' and it is to be hoped that some signal punishment will mark the sense that Government entertain of the gravity of the offence committed. If this be not done, it is certain that the life of every civilian in an up-country station will be endangered. In Bombay there is no change worthy of notice in the position of affairs. The native merchants, having been convinced by some heavy fines of the folly of refusing to send in their returns, have now changed their tactics. The assessors have no longer any reason to complain of disregard of the law—though, when the collection of the tax itself comes to be made, some further opposition may be expected. But, with a determination and unity that no one anticipated, the natives continue to abstain from all dealings in English goods, and the' European mer chants are becoming seriously alarmed at the com bination. There is no doubt, however, that in the natural course of things self•interest will force on the natives the abandonment of this plan of striking work. "The Bombay Volunteer Corps, under its com manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel North, now numbers nearly 100 members, and its popularity continually increases. Drill will be commenced immediately, the Government having given its cor dial approbation to the establishment of the corps. " The CaZeutla Englishman asserts that Lord Canning has been offered the option of remaining in India for another five years, at the expiration of the term of his present proconsulate. This is at variance with the report commonly received here that the Viceroy himself expects to go home in February next, as by t hat time it is supposed the conclusion of .the Chinese war will have left Lord Elgin at liberty to come round to Calcutta under happier auspices than were his when he last visited the City of Palaces.

THE UNEMPLOYED DURING SNOW AND FROST. —The experience of the last few days shows that the foot paths have been generally ill kept. The law is, notwith standing, distinct on this point ; but no moans seem to have been used by the authorities to carry out the neces sary measures. Great distress at the present time prevails in several parts of the metropolis. A strong lad could easily earn Is. 6d. in the morning by cleaning door-steps. Supposing that the regulation for the cleansing of the pavorntnt were strictly carried out, it would cause a con siderable amount of employment at a season when it is much . needed. Taking the houses of London at about 600,000, the cleansing of the pathways would, at the rate of ld. each, come to £2,500 for every cleansing opera tion. This would be of much benefit, not only to the poor, who would gladly earn it, but also to thowtands of way farers. —llu ilder.

During last week 166 died of bronchitis, 95 of pectoral inflamal ion, and 150 of consumption. How dreadfully appalling is this catalogue I rand doubly distressing when we reflect how might have been saved by the early employment of Hollo way's remedies. This ointment should be thoroughly rubbed twice daily upon the back and chest, even for the merest cough or slightest cold. The trouble of the opera tion is very trifling when compared with the present ease afforded and future risk removed. Holloway's pills should be simaltaneously taken to confirm the cure.
