The publication of the Crimean Report has at least bad the effect of convincing the accused Crimean officers that some explanation of their conduct during the period of their command is expected from them. In this report certain specific charges are made against many officers —among other. , against the Earl of Lucan, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Richard Airey, and Colonel Gordon. The representations made by Ministers in the two Houses of Parliament in palliation of the conduct of their chief military agents are now proved to have been totally un true. The fatuous gossip of "good society," and of the fierce old gentlemen in the clubs, has been duly weighed in the balance, and may now be estimated at its proper worth. The fact simply is, that between them the chief English officers in the Crimea destroyed one third of the army committed to their care. Three-fourths of the misery and starvation, and suffering from cold and want of clothing, to make no mention of the absolute anni hilation of our splendid cavalry, must be referred to the gross incapacity of the officers in chief com mand. These gentlemen are now strutting about our streets with all the halo of heroism around their heads ; they are receiving rewards from foreign Sovereigns they are promoted to honours and dignities at home, as though they had not done suf ficient mischief in the East, and as if the past were to be slurred over and forgotten. The report of Sr John M'Neill and Col. Tulloch has fallen like a Russian shell in the midst of these dreamers, and they appear to be at Net convinced' that a day of reckoning has come which they cannot evade. This report—this official report, set ou hot by the Goverment, and conducted by the agents of the Government—nsust receive the amplest conside ration,-and every officer who're conduct hat-been therein impugned, must be brought to th most exact account. The Peers who took share in the debate last night appear to have, as it were, an inkling of this great 'truth; but they understand so little the gravity of the position that they fancy a few formal declarations and formal vouchers will be sufficient to satisfy the public. This is not so. By all nearly, if the Earls of Lucan and Cardigan, if Sir . R. A trey, and Cal. Gordon, are falsely accused, let Sir J. and Col. Tullocb, and ail the officers and soldiers they examined, be covered with confusion. If, on the other hand, they are proved guilty of negli gene-, of incapacity, of gross unfitness for command ; —it it can be shown that the greatest share of the destruction which fell urn the British army before Se bastopol was due to their unoffieer-like administration of their important trust, by the consequences they must abide. Fair play for all. But there is fair play for the dead as well as for the living. The blood of 10,000 gal lant veterans—the flower of the English army—as true heroes as Lord Lucan or Lord Cardigan, or as Sir R. Airey c r Colonel Ger lon, cries from the ground for jus tice. The House of Peers is the highest court of judica ture in the realm—we solemnly admr;nish them, in the nam of the English people, how they prejudge this cause. If they come forward as partisans, they will simply link tho prestige of their or ler to the fortunes of men who are labouring under the weight of a heavy accusation, brought against them by agents who have in the most dispassionately judicial spirit reported upon the case. The proceedings last night in the House of Peers amount to this :—Lord Cardigan gave notice to the Secretary of the War Department, "That, having been reflected upon in, as he considered, a very unfair manner in the report of a commission appointed by her Ma jesty's Government to inquire into the conduct of the war in the Crimea. he should feel it his duty to-morrow to transmit to the noble lord a full explanation of his conduct as animadverted upon in that report." There is no objection to this step, as far as it goes, but what is the court of inquiry to which he appea,ls ? Clearly the military anth•orities, who with this report before them—for they ha - I it in July last—have heaped honours on the officers accused, do not constitute a tribunal in which the country will have confidence. Lord Lucan, for his part;• has written a letter to the Secretary of State, in which ho contradicts "in a mos . positive man ner every part of the report." In other words, he pleads "not guilty " to the charge against him : but where is the judge ? whc re are the jury ? Surely the bare denial of Lord Luca'i is ❑o answer to the solemn report of Sir John M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch, resting a; it does upon the testimony of witnesses whose names are given, and whose evidence is printed ? Lord Pantuure rose after the two officers accused in the character of the "avvocato del diarolo ;"he was sure, for his part, that the Commissioners had not the sl . ghtest intention of attacking the character of the noble Earls ; and, on the whole, he was for treating the popular clamour with suitable contempt. Lord Derby, who followed, with characteristic boldness harped upon the theme, "Are the two Lords accused to have an opportunity offered to them for making a public defence ?" By all me les. They are most fully entitled to a patient and careful hearing, and, it they can succeed in setting a-ide the evidence of the witnesses against them, to a full and decisive acquittal. For their own sakes, if they hold themselves free from blame, they will urge forward such a measure, and they will without doubt meet with every facility for carrying their pur pose into effect. The conclusion of the discussion w:4l simply puerile. The decorations and honours which have been bestowed upon the Earle of Lucan and Car. digan have, we are told, been riven to them, not for their success—not for their qualifications as Generals-- but for p crsonal bravery in the face of the enemy. Were these noble lords private dragoons, and had they been rewarded with a shilling a day of extra pay, this would be well enough, but from Generals other and ve ry dif ferent qualities are required than mere personal cour ,ge. Even so, without meaning to cast the shadow of an im putation upon the gallantry of the Earl of Lucan, we know not that in the Crimea his heroism was put to the test. When the char;e of the heavy brigade took place at, Balaklava most rightly this General was not seen flourishing his sabre in the van of his division. As far as the Earl of Cardigan is concerned in the famous charge of the light brigade, every man there present did his duty ; nor, when the fatal order was once given, did Lord Cardigan do anything more than any private soldier who rode over that bloody field. It is sufficient honour that he was one of that band of heroes. There are no persons so profoundly interested in the due prosecution of the inquiry to which the Crimean Report must give rise as the upholders o f our p resen t military system. If they make common cause with officers whose incapacity for military command has been proved they prejudge the case against themselves. Who can honestly assist hereafter in calling the nation to arms if our soldier* are always to be handed ovsr to such incompetent guidance ? Our military chiefs and administrators have not only been in the wrong, but are resolved to persist in their error. Two officers high in command, between them, brought about the destruc tion of the English cavalry in the East. They are se lected as especial objects of their Sovereign's favour. Another. as Quartermaster-General of the British Army in the Crimea, brought that army to the verge of de struction—he is appointed to the office of Quartermaster- General of the British Army. Sir John M`Neill and Colonel Tulloch may be safely left to describe the qualifi cations avid performances of the gallant officer who is to act as his assistant. What the military system of Eng land was before the Crimean campaign, such it will he again in six months' time ; nay, it is the same already. Years must elapse ere we can replace the legions of veteran soldiers who died victims of the "system"—and the "system" remains in full force ! Had such things occurred under the rule of the First Napoleon, in place of selecting the incapable officers for rewards, decora tions, and promotion, he would have dismissed them from active employment altogether—they might have esteemed themselves fortunate if they escaped a yet fuller measure of speedy justice at the hands of their indignant master.

Thomas Ataucier 6araal revce, c Naval and Blilitary Intelligence. The Colossus, screw, 81, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, C. 8., hauled alongside her hulk i❑ Portsmouth harbour yesterday to " paint sbi2" and receive her crew, before dropping out to Spithead and joining the fleet there. The Harrier, 15, screw sloop, Commander Derriman, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday and joined the fleet at Spithead. The Plover, 4, screw gun-boat, Lieutenant Com mander Stewart, went to the Motherbank yesterday, with liberty men from the gun-boat flotilla. The Pioneer; 6, new screw despatch vessel, was taken into dock yesterday to be fitted for commission. The Lapwing, 6, new screw gun-vessel, was towed up to Portsmouth from Cowes yesterday to be fitted ,for commission. The schooner John Williams is embarking a number of heavy mortars and guns of various tizea from the Arsenal-wharf, at Woolwich, and will sail to-day for Portsmouth. The paddle-vrheol steamer Kite, for some time under repair in Woolwich dockyard, is now in a forwa'rd state, and has received her engine gear. The repairs and alte-ations•of the Princess Alice are likewise advancing rapidly. Yesterday two substantially-built and finely•modelled wooden gun-boats, the Be ►con and the Brave, of about 223 tons each, were launched from the building-yard of Mr. John Laird, on the border of the Great Float, at Birkenhead. Both vessels had their engines and boilers on board, and their entrance into the water ward greeted with aloha chart by a large assemblage_of ‘spectritatv. The launches were very successful, the christening of the Beacon being performed by Mrs. Bevis, wife of Cap taiti,Bevis, R.N., Admiralty agent at Liverpool; and that of the Brave by Miss Agnes 'Laird, daughter of the builder. Two similar vessels will be launched from Mr. Laird's Liverpool yard next week, besides which there are two others nearly completed, with engines, boilers, and machinery on board. Each of the boats will carry two guns of heavy calibre, which may be worked at will from any portion of the vessel. Mr. Laird is also building, at his Birkenhead and Liverpool yards, 15 iron mortar-boats of 100 tons measurement each, of a pre cisely similar description to the one recently constructed, and already noticed in The Sun. Two of these are ex pected to be launched in 10 or 14 days, the rest to follow in quick succession. The second pier, which was commenced about three months ago at the arsenal-wharf, Woolwich, will be ready for service in about three weeks. This will con siderably augment the capabilities of landing and ship ping, and, as vessels of heavy tonnage will be enabled to moor alongside in any tide, the use of barges will be vupersedel. A spacious platform branches off on either side of the pier, provided with a double line of tramway, and extends a sufficient length to admit the loading of four ships at the same tine. Four cranes are to be erected on the platform, and are to be served by hydrau lic pressure. The apparatus for this purpose is in the course of erection, under the supervision of Colonel Beatson, commanding Royal Engineers. This will be applied for the joint purposes of working the whole of the numerous cranes along the Arsenal-wharf side. The Edendale sailing -transport, No. 10, Captain Lash, arrived on Saturday morning at Woolwich from the East. She has hitherto been engaged in transporting cavalry horses, and is expected to embark a similar cargo. Mr. H. R. Rch, master of the merchant ship Hooghly, recently returned from Australia, has transmitted to the treasurer of the Royal Naval and Military Free Schools, Devonport, the sum of 51. 55., collected from his pas sengers during the ship's absence from England. The treasurer of those sckools requests us to acknowledge that he has received the above sum. The following appointments were made yeqterday at the Admiralty:— Lieut. F. W. Pym, to the Esk ; John Stokes, master, to the Medina ; Benjamin Wooley, acting master, to the Prospero ; Richard H. Blainey, master's assistant, to the Tartarus ; Fienry Grey, midshipman, to the Rodney; IL B. Hammersley, midshipman, to the Colossus ; G. F. A. Drew, surgeon (confirmed) ; Robert Wilcox, to the Medina. Lieut. Mould, Royal Engieeerx, stationed at London derry, has been ordeted to proceed to New Zealand, where his father, Lieutenant• Colonel Meuld, of the Royal Engineer., is in command. THE BANK OF FRANCE. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of France took place on Thursday the 31st ult., when the report of the proceedings of the establishment for 1855 was laid before them. The report begins by explaining the difficulties which the Bank had to con tend with during the last year, and particularly in the last six months of it. The expenses of the war in the East, and the coincidence of an insufficient harvest, had necessarily led to large exports of bullion. It was ne• cessary to procure earn from abroad at a very high price, and furnish gold for the pay of the army. The Bank bad co-operated in these payments, by which a very sensible reduction in its metallic reserve took place, while at the same time the facilities granted by the Bank to meet the increasing demand of commerce and manufactures contributed to tha same temlt. In order to contend against this accumulation of un toward circumstances, the Bank had recourse to two kinds of measures. It procured, at considerable ex pense, from different countries of Europe, from two to three hundred millions of the precious metals, and pet in practice come restrictions which it had on previous occasions adopted with success. These restrictions did not prevent the Bank from extending to discouws more than ever, and it constantly furnished the Treasury with all the cash it asked for. The report then goes on with a recapitulation of the different operation; of the prin. cipalesteblishmentand of the branch banks. It states that during the last three years the mass of operations bad acquired unusual development. In 1853 the total amount of its transactions was 3,961,000,000 f. ; in 1854, 3,188,000,000 f. ; and in 1855, 4,863,000,000 f., this last being an increase over the previous year of nearly a In 'Hard. The discounts of commerdal bills, which constitutes the principal operatiou of the Bank and the branch establislnuebtQ, amounted in 1854 to 2,944,000,000 E, and in 1855 to 3,762,000 f., being an increase in favour of the latter of 818,000,0001. These operations were most extensive in the last Fix months of 1855. in July they reached the sum of 383,000,000 f., and in the four following months they varied frorx 341,000,000 f. to 354,000,000 f. ; and in De cember, to 513,000,000 f. The restrictive measures alluded to in the commence. ment of the report began in October. The rate of dna count was raised from 4 per cent. to 5 per cent., end afterwards to 6 per cent., and the date of bills admis sible was reduced from 90 to 75 days. The advances on railway and other securities were also temporarily restricted, but, as the time approached for the last loan, those advances were considerably increased, and the Bank afforded every facility in order to assist those per. sons who wished to subscribe for it. Ater the close of the subscriptions these advances amounted to 185,000,000 f.; but as this sum was too large to remain permanent, the Bank succeeded, by degrees, in reducing it ; aed, between the lit August and the 31st January, the amount was brought down from 185,000,000 f. to 93,000,000 f. With regard to the transactions of the Bank with the Treasury, the report states that on the Ist July last the Treasury repaid to the bank a third instalmentofs,ooo,ooofr., sothatits debt of 76,000, 000 fr. is now reduced to 60,000,000 fr. Since that period the Bank advanced to the State 40,000,000 fr. for three month a on the Transfer of Treasury bonds, and that operation has been renewed twice. On the 29th March, 1855, the metallic reserve of the Bank and the branch establishments amounted to 451,000,000 fr. ; on the 11th July following it was 310,000,000 fr., and the bills in cir ' culation was 670,000,0001 r. It was at that period that the Bank began to get gold and silver from abroad, and at the end of the year those arrivals had reached the sum of 260,000,000 fr., the expenses attendant on which were as much as 3,920,000 fr. At the end of January the import of bullion amounted to 298,000,000 fr. The amount of cash sent from the Bank to the branch establishments, and from one branch lank to the other was, during 1555, 452,000,000 fr., this carriage amounting to more than 700,000 fr. The general move ment of the Bank in 1854 amounted to 25,090,0 60 , 000 f.; in 1855 to 30,359,000,000 fr. ; being an increase in b 1555 of 5,269,000,000 fr. The amount of bills drawn y the e central bank on the branch establishm ents and lice versa was, in 1E54, 313,00 0 , 000 fr ., and in 1355, 376,000,04 fr., being an increase in thelatter yearbili of b 63,000,0001 r. The payments of the co mmercial been throughout the year discounted by the B i nk .tu h a a i v i e ty b , effected with great punt. although the sums were at times very great. On the 31st Oct. the Ba nk had to receive in Paris a sum of 65,417,0001 r. divided into 54,692 bills; and in the branch banks the debtorg have been equally exact. During 1855 the Bank did not meet with any loss from bankruptcy, but, on the con trary, recovered the sum of 342,000 fr. from former failures. With regard to branch banks, they ara going on every year increasing in number and importance, and since the junction of the departmental banks to the Bank of France, the united operations of the branch establ;sh tnents have constantly exceeded . those of the central establishment. In 1854 the whole of their operations together amounted to 2 ,161,000,0001 r., and in 1855 to 2,745, 000,00011 e, being an ineream'in favour of the latter year of 584,000,000 fr. Lyons and . Mareeilles alone show an increase together of 201,000,000 fr. The expenses of the central bank and the branch establishments amounted in 1354 io 5 , 0 07,000 fr., and in 1855 to 9,813,0001 r., being an increase of 4,806,000 fr. It would not, how ever, be logical, nays the report, to draw any compari son, as the former are only composed of ordinary ex penses, and the latter extraordinary ones, induced by circumstances, and, moreover, the shareholders are well aware that they have been well compensated for these expenses, as they have for the first time received for the same year two dividends, amounting together to 200 fr. on 01,250 sharei, the profits during the year amounting to 1.5 2 200, ?1 J 1 : t44\,,, i p to , ,, es -fr-.) , ry' s AMER CA. i :% ti 4. • - ; , :: ; 1 ,?,,*-7-, gi4 sr - ' J ...14 4-,-, ro .

On the 29th the ballot for Speaker stood as fol lows :—Banks, 99 ; Orr, 69; Fuller, 34; Scatteray, 8. Necessary to a choice, 106. In the Senate, on the 28th ult., Mr. Cass de livered a speech, which occupied two hours and a half, on Central American affairs. Alluding to the remarks of the National Intelligencer, that the country might be drifting into difficulties, he said that he did not believe it. He thought the ship of State was on its true course, and the pilot doing his duty. Mr. Cass used strong language, denun ciatory of the positions assumed ley the British Go vernm mt relative to the Protectorate in Central America, characterising its pretensions in setting up a king over the Mosquito Indians as mere mockery, under which England alone exercised real sovereignty. Mr. Clayton corrotorated Mr. Cass by reading extracts from documents, showing that the British Vice-Consul was the real Governor of Mosquito, and gave titles to land in his own name. Mr. Collarner contended that there could lee no possible prete-:: rrsr the assumption of England, that the occup4aJou she agreed not to exercise was only prospective, and had no reference to the occu pation which she then held. He, however, thought the time for legislative action had not arrival, in asmuch as the President, in his annual mesa e, expressed hopes that there might still be an arnica isle adjustment of the controversies between this Government and Great Britain. The subject was then postponed. A resolution,. declaring " ally agitation of the slitvery 41 /teatime unwise and unjust to a portion of the American people and injurious to every section, and ought not to be countenanced," had been adopted by a majority of one in the House of Re • presentatives. The Hon. Mc. Dallas is reported to have accepted the post of Minister to England, vicei\fr. Buchanan. There was a rumour current that a filibustering expedition, numbering 500 men, had landed at San Blas, Lower California. A shocking affair had oc . curred in Kentucky. A number of fugitive slaves having taken refuge in a house the police officers proceeded to arrest them. The slaves fired and wounded several of the spec tators. One slave woman, finding escape impossible, cut the throats of her children, killing one instantly and severely wounding two others. Six of th e fugitives were apprehended, bat eight of another party are said to have escaped. The freezing of the Ohio river offered great facilities for fugitive slaves. Two British agents, named Galbr Lith and Gillis pie, who had, in default of bail, remained in prison. at Buffalo since August last on a charge of enlist ing soldiers, had been released on providing smu rities for their future appearai ce. Fourteen persons had been drowned in Chesa peake-bay by the capsizing of a schooner. The steam-ship Star of the West had arrived at, New York with $6t3,446 in California gold. Pas sengers by her had crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 22 hours. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, on the 28th ult., the second trial of Louis Baker, charged with the !murder of Bill Poole, was postponed until April next, on motion of the counsel for tl:e accused. The trials of the other defendants will not take place until the case of Baker is disposed of. Advices from Havannah state that General Concha was to leave the island for Spain, where he will receive the title of Count of Havannah. His successor is said tv be General Zabala. From the New York commercial advices we learn that the latest European accounts were con sidered unsatisfactory, and had caused a decline in the prices of all the speculative securities.

The principal Derby bet was 1,400 to 200 about Went w,irtlf. Offers were repeatedly made to take 1,000 to 60 about Ro,gerthorpe ; but the odds were not obtain. able. At last, after a great deal of chaffering, 15 to 1 was taken to a pony. West Langton receded to 33 to 1. Nothing else occurred worthy of particular comment. CLOSING PRICES. LIVERPOOL STEEPLIWITASE.
