Victory crowns the forces and cheers every one with the pro spect of a speedy sett'ement of an exoensive war, from victories abroad, and instinctively turn to victories at home achieved with the same degree of skill and enterprise, though directed in another channel.

The strong forces of Overcoats prepared for Autumn and Winter by E. Moses and SoN will resist all the storms which may battle with the traveller or street passenger. The Light Artiller • of their Paletots will stand the tug of Autumn with the most victorious resistance—the new one they have invented and 'which they will sell for 255., is an union of elegance, comfort, and economy, which Is per ectly victorious over all previous intro ductions, and the vast s ock of fancy goods they have just received from France, sabmitted to the operations of the most skil'ul and the best artists and workmen in the world, are the victories of elegance and fashion which every one will celebrate. Their new stoclt of Hats, Caps, llwiery for ladies and gentlemen, !loots and Shoes, &c., are the victorious expressions of superior quality and economical prices.

The public journals having lately announced the reli gious exactness with which the Emperor of the French, Napoleon 111., is dispensing the bequests of Napoleon I. to his old soldiers, and other leiratees, this seems tie suit able occasion for recording a passage which I met with lately, containing a prophecy which, standing above all suspicion of having been made for the occasion, appears to me to be perhaps as singular a coincidence of anticipation with event as history furnishes. The London Magazine for January, 1823, in the "Ab stract of Foreign and Domestic Occurrences," records the death of Letitia Bonaparte, commonly called " Ma dame Mere," with the remark that—" Her last words were singular, and, as it is not impossible that they may one day turn out prophetic, we give them a place in our record for more purposes than mere amusement. The narrative then goes on to state that the evening before her death she called together her household, and one after another gave them her hand to kiss ; and among the rest—" To Martha Belgrade, her wasting maid, she said—' Go to Jerome, he will take care of thee ; when my grandson is Emperor of France, he will make thee a great woman.' She then called Colonel Darley to her bedside. He had attended her in all her fortunes, and, in Napoleon's will was assigned to have a donation of 14,0001. "'You, said she, have been a good friend to me and my family. I have left you what will make you happy. Never for get my grand-son. And what he and you may arrive at is beyond my discerning—but you will both be great.' " When she had dismissed her servants, she then de clared that she had done with this world, and demanded some water, in which she washed her hands : " Her attendants found her dead, with her hand under her head, and a prayer-book on her breast." So far a narrative to which events have given a cha racter of mysterious significance. It would be desirable to ascertain if any of the parties indicated in it, besides Napoleon 111., still survive ; and one would like to know if their faith in the prediction stood the shocks of the last 30 years : for Louis Napoleon himself, it is well known that, through all the improbabilities of the case—through the ludicrous failure at Boulogne— the desperate attempt at Strasburg—and the dreary captivity of Ham—he always held, and avowed his own belief, that he had a yet unfulfilled mission to ac complish.—From. "Notes and Queries." THE .NATIONAL BALANCE-SHEET. From the Daily News. We are now in possession of the Revenue Returns for the quarter and the year ending yesterday, the 10th of October. The document itself is given in another column, and fully confirms the anticipatory statement we made on the 27th ult. The details, in fact, show even more vigorous life in the national resources than we had reason to hope for. fortnight later, as 54,439,2511. This is another example of old slovenliness, or old mystification, now happily got rid of. The present returns are also made more complete by exhibiting in the third table all the heads of ex pense. Till now the sums appropriated by Parlia ment to the payment of other nubile services than those charged . permanently on the Consolidated Fund were omitted. No account was rendered in the quarterly returns of the money applied to sup ply services, and after stating the permanent charges on the 'consolidated fund, there appeared an item called "surplus," no less than 6,164,5311., and might make the the public fairly fancy that a huge sum was annually misappropriated. The balance-sheet published generally a fortnight after the revenue returns, explained the circumstance, but only by one public account flatly contradicting Ole other. The present accounts, includ ing the total revenue, also include the total expense, and, so far as we know, nothing is kept in reserve ; a complete debtor and creditor statement of all public monies received in the quarter, and of the appropriation of the same." We are not inclined•to compliment pub lic men for their zeal in introducing improvements. It cannot, in fact, be too continually impressed on the multitude, not being public men, that almost all improvements originate outside the sphere of the Government, which, being Conservative, or at tached by nature to the past, is always in hos tility to change, and always slow to adopt, in its administration of affairs, the improvements made by society at large. We have no doubt, therefore, that the authors of,the present change have net been educated in the Government offices, and that they have met with great opposition even in procuring the adoption •i the •bvious and just improvements now made. Knowing what they had to contend against, we look with much satisfaction, and some admiration, on the zeal and cou rage of those who have overcome the vis inertice of the subalterns of the Exchequer. It is a great improvement, too, that the returns are now printe I, and the Govern ment has considerately sent two printei copies to each journal, in place of the old pen-and•ink statement, the blunders of which we had occasion more than once to expose. The Revenue for the quarter shows a net increase of 550,188/. ; and for the year, 16,5801. The increase in the Quarter is made up of Excise, 354,9121. ; Stamps, 12,096/. ; Property tax, 569,686/. ; Poet-office, 109,000 ; Crown lands, 11,5721. ; total, 1,056,2661. Against this we have to setoff a decrease in the Customs of 140,1071. ; in the Taxes, of 12,53 91 . ; in Miscellane ous, of 20,411. ; of Imprest and other Moneys, 15,5431. ; of Repayments of Advances, 307,1481. ; total, 506,078/. ; leaving a net increase of 550,1881. in the quarter. In the Year the increase in the Excise is 128,1631. in the Property-tax, 1,351,241/. ; in the Post-office, 999,0001. ; in the Imprest and other monies, 25,4231. ; total, 1,803,8271. Against this we must set off the decrease, in the Customs, 839,255/. ; in the Stamps, 68,148/. ; in the Taxes, 16,4451. ; in Crown Lauds, 131,3161. ; Miscellaneous, 36,143/. ; Re-payments of Advance, 695,940/. ; total, 1,787,2471. ; leaving a net increase of 16,580/. in the year. Both on the quarter and on the year it will be notioed that there is a great decrease in the repay ments of advances, deducting which, and deducting the imprest monies, the total increase of the ordi nary revenue was in the quarter 872,8791., and in the year, 687,0971. It will also be seen that the principal increase in the quarter and in the year is in the Excise, in the Property Tax, and the Post-office, and the principal decrease is in the Customs. Our readers will recollect thrt in '1853 the Property Tax was ex tended ; in 1854 the rate was raised, but none of the produce'of the increased rate, which only begins to be due now, comes into the present returns, and the great sum of 1,351,2411., the increase in the year, is wholly the result of the extension of the tax in 1853 and of the (Front the Times.) Succession Tax then imposed. It was estimated to The Revenue accounts for the quarter ending yester yield 750,0001., and the produce therefore exceeds ex- day have been published in a 'completer and more sensi pectation ble form than those we have hitherto had to deal with.

If we are among► the fore most to proclaim the remission of a tax, a welcome boon to the country, we cannot in consistency pretend that the imposition or increase of a tax is an indifferent affair. No. It must be admitted that we have lately taken hold steps in the taxation of the higher and middle classes, for that which, in the shape of indirect taxation, used to fall on the people at large. But, whatever drawbacks there may be in the method, it is, at all events, very clear that we are able to keep up the re venue, and probably to pay out of it the expenses of the war, without retracing our steps in that course of com mercial emancipation which has brought us to our present pitch of prosperity. To that prosperity we owe our revenue, and to that revenue we owe that we can carry on a war unparalleled in the distance and magnitude of its operations, without adding to the debt or even to the general taxation of the country. The table before us is the record of a financial victory not less formidable to the enemies of this country than that recently won by the valour of our soldiers and the skill of their chiefs. We have before us the assurance that in the industry of this country, and its great natu ral resources, there will ever be found the means of maintaining our fleets and our army in any cause we may thick proper to embrace ; and the history of this nation leaves no reason to doubt that when we are once compelled to undertake a cause we shall not be in a hurry to lay it down. THE ADMIRALTY KISSING THE TOE THAT KICKS TIIE3I. ( From she Daily News. ) Yesterday evening two despatches from Lord Raglan were, by order of the War Minister, the Duke of New castle, published in the London Gazette. Yesterday fore noon two despatches from Admiral Dundas, and one from Vice-Admiral Boxer, were, by order of the Admi ralty, published in a third edition of a daily paper. By thus giving the journal in. question a priority in the an nouncement of public news—news about public affairs obtained at the public cost—the Admiialty have jobbed away what has been procured by the expenditure of the people's money. Perhaps we shall be told that it was intended to communicate the despatches to all the morn ing papers, and that to this end the journal in question was instructed to impart the news to the rest. But the Admiralty must knowl—and does know, for the subject has been mentioned more than once—that such commu nication of the despatches to all papers alike could only be effected by first putting the documents in type, and then sending " slips" of them to the other newspapers. In this case the despatches got into type and into circu lation—as it was known they would do. In fact, the third edition of the journal in question was sent to the City, and the " slips" of the despatches to the other offices at the same time. The cause of this favouritism is obvious : it has its origin not in love, but in unmanly cowardice. On Saturday the journal we refer to at tacked the Foreign and War-offices, for publishing Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's despatch in a Gazette, instead of sending it to a newspaper. On Monday this blow was feliowed up by an onslaught on all the Ministers who aro out of town, and by a superadded fawning, hypocritical, calumnious inuendo, against her Majesty herself. This bullying has had its effect upon the de partment confided to Sir J. Graham, which seeks to buy off the wrath of this journalist by supplying him with early intelligence at the public expense ! It is neither more nor less than bribery out of the public money for libelling the Queen. Nor perhaps is this the meanest feature in the case. In the paper thus propitiated, Ad miral Dundas was yesterday directly accused of sloth, cowardice, and incapacity. Was the favour shown by Sir James Graham's department meant to repay this service—this libel on Admiral Dundas I The Knight of Netherby has ere now dealt backhanded blows to former friends, and it may be worth while—when space permits —to call some of these traits to light again as illustra tions of the spirit and way in which Sir J. Graham's department seem now prepared to use the public de spatches entrusted to them. The Duke of Newcastle, greatly to his honour, has placed the news of the war at the earliest possible mo ment before the whole public, through the London Ga zette, or by rapid communications to all journals alike ; just as an upright Minister ought to do. The Admiralty has followed the old corrupt plan of sending public news through one channel—" for reasons best known" to these guilty of this gross abuse of their public position. The plan of the Duke of Newcastle ought to be followed by all public departments, and if the Cabinet are wise they will take this matter into their special consideration with a view to the correction of the abuse we point out. From the Morning Chronicle. We regret to have to complain that the Admiralty have yet to learn that simple rule of justice and fair dealing, in its communication of important documents to the public press, which has been so honourably adopted by the War Department. While the Minister of War —acting on the broad and plain piinciple that public despatches belong to the nation, and not to a particular newspaper—gives copies of all such docu ments simultaneously to all the metropolitan daily journals, the Admiralty systematically selects one of our contemporaries as the sole recipient of its com munications. All despatches given to the public by that department are sent exclusively to one journal ; and though it is understood that, as soon as they are in type, slips shall be transmitted by the journal so favoured to its contemporaries, it will readily be perceived that the time necessarily occupied in printing the documents gives a most unfair advantage to the newspaper thus singled out for the private whim of a Government officer. Some recent Arctic despatches were, in this manner, l made, during an entire day, the private pro perty of one journal ; and the important despatches from Admiral Dundas, which we published yesterday in a Third Edition, were, as usual, given exclusively, in the first instance, to the same journal, to be communicated, at its leisure, to ourselves and our other contempora ries. We shall never cease to denounce this pitiful sys tem of favouritism or unfairness ; and should it be con tinued, the Parliamentary representatives of the Admi ralty may find themselves called upon to explain to the House of Commons by what right they employ the ma chinery of a Government department in promoting the private interests of particular newspapers. MOUSTACHES FOR THE MARINES.—The following memorandum has just been issued :—" Royal Ma rine Office, October 3, 1854.—The Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty having had under consi deration the circular memorandum from the Horse Guards, dated July 21, 1854, notifying her Ma jesty's permission to the army to wear the mou stache, are pleased to extend this permission to the corps of Royal Marines, whether on shore or afloat, from the desire that there shall be no distinction between the British soldier aad the marine, who are constantly joined in the syne service and share the same . honours .and 'dangers.

DEPARTURE OF THE BEAGLE FOR SEBASTOPOL. Yesterday advices were received that her Majesty's steam despatch gun-boat Beagle, armed with Lancaster's oval guns, having a range of 4,000 yards, had arrived at Constantinople on the 29th of September, and immedi ately proceeded to join the fleet off Sebastopol. THE RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday notice was given on the Royal Exchange that the Russian vessel Dwina, prize to the Miranda, the Nierrdhal, prize to her Majesty's steamers Conflict and Cruizer, and also the prize Reinhard, would, within 20 days, be condemned by the Court of Admiralty, and they and their cargoes sold for the benefit of their captors. MILITARY. The colonelcy of the Bth King's Regiment has become vacant by the death of General Sir Gordon Drummond, which took place yesterday. Thirty men are to be added to each cavalry regiment serving at home. We regret to announce the death of Lientenat-Colonel Cox, Grenadier Guards. Captain Younghusband, whose company of the Bth bat talion Royal Artillery is stationed at Gibraltar, with Lieu tenant Tucker and 100 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery, marched at seven o'clock a.m. on Monday, from the garrison to the Royal Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway, and proceeded by it to London, en route by railway to Portsmouth, where they are to em bark for the seat of war in the East. Captain Young husband returns to Gibraltar to take the command of his company at that station, and Lieutenant Tucker remains with the Royal Artillery in the Crimea, the company to which he is attached being stationed at Malta. Letters have been received at Woolwich from several officers, non-commissioned officers, and men engaged in the battle of Alma. Colonel Lake, of the Royal Horse Artil lery, had a fine horse, which he greatly valued, shot dead under him. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm and courage of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery under the most trying circumstances, owing to the nature of the approaches to the strongly fortified position whore the Russians were posted on the Alma. As an instance, it may be mentioned that one of the first of the Artillery • guns that attempted to cross the river Alma had one of the wheels of the gun carriage completely destroyed by the shot from the Russian guns, while'the officers and men wore up to their middles in water. Nothing daunted by their posi tion, and the heavy fire kept up on them, they promptly set to work, and in an incredibly short space of time at tached another wheel to the gun carriage, and marched forward to the scene of action almost as soon as the others, and as if nothing had occurred to interrupt their progress, Officers, non-commissioned officers, and men knew no dis tinction on the occasion, every one lending a helping-hand ; and it is stated as a fact that one of the officers of the Royal Artillery killed in action was serving tho gun as No. 3 gunner at the time he was killed. • Captain Gibbon's company, 12th battalion, have been placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness to pro ceed to Norwich with their 9-pounder field battery guns, and Captain Smyth's company, 6th battalion, to Ipswich, with their 9-pounder field battery guns, to make room for a large number of horses from the country, and two bat teries of artillery, daily expected, with their horses, from Canada. Captain Broughton's company, 2d battalion, and Captain Graydon's company, Ist battalion, are now the two companies first on the roster for foreign service with siege guns. . . The greatest activity exists in the garrison at Woolwich, in the Royal Engineer department, and a messenger was sent express to Chatham, on Monday morning, with orders to the commanding officer of the engineer establishment at Chatham to forward all non-commissioned officers or privates of the Royal Sappers and Miners who arc practi cal divers for the purpose of their being sent to the army under the command of Lord Raglan in the Crimea, to assist in bringing up the guns and removing the vessels sunk at tho entrance of the harbour of Sebastopol. The 2d company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, that left Chatham for the Baltic, are daily expected t o re t urn to head-quarters here at Woolwich. The whole of the Royal Sappers and Miners recently sta tioned at Hong Kong have left in the freight ship Blen heim, and are now on their way to England, to join head quarters at Woolwich. A reinforcement of medical officers being required for the seat of war, the following gentlemen are selected from the medical staff at Chatham, to proceed forthwith for service in the Crimea and. at Constantinople Newton, J. Summer, and Rutter, being 2d class staff•surgeous at the invalid depot, Fort Pitt Hospital ; those gentlemen proceed to Constantinople, and Assistant-Surgeon John stone, 68th Foot, proceeds from Chatham garrison to Ports mouth, there to embark with artillery for the Crimea. It is expected that another draft of medical gentlemen will be required from the hospital, for the seat of war. The Ipswich cavalry barracks are about to be occupied immediately by a body of Horse Artillery. Orders were received on Saturday for the barracks to be ready by Wed nesday, and it is anticipated that the men and horses are to take their winter quarters at Ipswich, preparatory to embarking at Harwich next spring for the shores of the Baltic.—lpswich Express. Cong, Oct. 10.—At five o'clock on Friday evening the baggage of the draft of the 13th Regiment, stationed here for the past month, accompanied by 6 privates and 1 ser geant, sailed from Merchants'-quay, in one of the river steamers for Queenstown, to be embarked in the Poictiers transport, for conveyance to Malta. Four women went with the baggage. On the following morning at eight o'clock 200 of the same regiment, and 70 of ,the 92d High landers, under the command of Lieutenant Leith, left is the Royal Alice for the same destination. The band of the 91st accompanied them down the river, playing, as they proceeded, suitable and lively airs.—Cork Examiner.

THE DISPUTE AS TO LONDON-BRIDGE STAIRS. —Th e steamboat companies who land passengers from their boats at the south end of London-bridge have at length succeeded, with the sanct of the City authorities, in making good a ice lan din g-Pl for their passengers at the s t a irs on the east s ide of that end of the bridge. effect this a barge has been p lac ed underneath tli e first arch, connected at one end with the barge on which the passengers step from the steamboats, and at the other end by a gangway which lands them on the stairs.

L liavQ not delayed to submit the same to the Enaperor„our. most...gracious master, and I obey the comman d s o f hi s M a je s ty in ad dressing the following observations ; ter you._ ~E_iret, of all, we must take the liberty of correcting, in some points, the construction which has been put uppn our declarations of the 14th instant by the Prussian Cabinet. The more sin cerely desirous we are of a union with Prussia and the other Governments of Germany, the greater worth we must attach to the securing of our declarations against nor could we state, that the every v in e i h Sll av ll e de n TS e t i n ih nd er in s g. tated, danger of a conflict between the two empires (Austria and Russia) has been removed by the retreat of the Russian troops from the Danubian Principalities. We have said this only in speaking of such an immediate danger. "If we have taken occasion to remind you that the oc cupation of the Principalities by Russia was the cause of the war and that the German Courts had declared its continuance as irreconcilable with the interests of Austria and Germany —if we have acknowledged the naturally consequent importance of the fact of the evacuation—we were neverth6less far from recognising therein the security of those important interests. On the contrary, we consi dered them gravely prejudiced, as long as Russia does not give guarantees for the restoration of a sure 'and lasting peace. " We made mention of the restriction of the scene of war, as an immediate consequence of the evacuation of the Prin cipalities. In doing so we bore in mind that Russia ha d syithdrawn h er arm y frathWallachia and Moldavia, and that Austria was called upon to protect these countries against second invasio n . B u t 'we never- ascribed to ourselVesis' right to separate the principalities froin the territory uchieh accessible, for warlike operations, nor are we in a posi t on to claim such a - " Just as littl e h a d t h e sug g es ti on b een madehy us that Austria and Prussii. should refrain from making a of proposition' at the Germanic Di e t f or th e a d o pti on of the guarantees which were agreed to by the exchange of the notes of the Bth of August. As for ourselves, we consider that this proposition has been already executed by the communication of the note of the Imperial Cabinet of that date, and we shall only then consider the resolutions which the committee will have to submit to the Federal Assembly after the examination of the documents that have been placed before them, as quite satisfactory, if, in the ques tion of the guarantees, they assign to the Bnnd the same position which we already hold. Only for the sake of not unnecessarily permitting that the difference in the attitude of Austria and Prussia should become prominent, have we declared ourselves inclined, precisely as we did on the oc casion of the exchange of the notes being communicated to the Bund, so also now, in communicating the answer of Russia, to abstain from a formal motion to the effect that the adoption of the four points be decided upon, and only to await the fitting resolution from the initiative of the Bund. " If, lastly, it has been declared by us that we have not taken upon ourselves any responsibility to enforce the four points by active hostilities against Russia, the same decla rations manifest, nevertheless, in the most positive man ner, that his Majesty the Emperor has reserved to himself full liberty of action in respect of his ulterior resolutions. "Starting from the views which are here once more pointed out, we proposed to the Berlin Cabinet to submit the answer of Russia conjointly to the Bend, from whom the knowledge of and consultation upon the same cannot well be withheld without prejudice to its dignity, and to combine there with the proposition (motion)—the declaration that an attack on the part of Russia against Austria in cense qusnce of our occupation of the principalities would cause the entire Confederation to take up arms for our defence (cur abwehr)—a declaration which Prussia for herself has already given us. It can therefore only call forth our sin cere regret that the royal Cabinet now raises difficulties against this proposition. "On the part of Prussia, new explanations to our note of the 14th of September are being claimed. The Royal Government will consent to consider the interests of Ger many on the Lower Danube secured, only if the entry of the Imperial troops into the principalities prevents the establishment of other elements there. It demands expla nations as to whether the principalities shall be closed against warlike operations generally by the Austrian occu pation ; that Russia consequently shall from thence not be exposed to an attack from any other than Austrian troops; and the Prussian Cabinet intimates that, if Russia should have to repulse such an attack, and by so doing her forces should come into contact with our troops, Germany would then have to wei g h i n th e b a l ance it s l oca l interests against the general interest which pertains to the question of par ticipation in a European war. Prussia has already assured us of her support, provided we do not take up the offensive against Russia. We can not therefore assume that she will now subject this assu rance to a limitation. Independently hereof, we can only remark that the Government of Prussia is perfectly ac quainted with the nature of the engagements entered into by all the powers concerned, as well as with the manner in which we have declared ourselves concerning our advance into the principalities. It knows that the treaty of the Porte with the maritime powers cedes to the latter the choice of any point of the Ottoman territory for the ope rations of the allied troops ; that consequently the Porte, even if she should have wished to close the entry to the principalities to her own Danubian army, was not at all in a position to cede to us a right of exclusive occupation ; and that we, on the other hand, have also laid no claim thereto. We may in respect hereof bring to bear both military and political exped'ences. We can make it the object of our peculiar care that these countries, already so sorely visited, shall ho spared a new infliction of the cala mities of war, and from being too heavily taxed. We can also make it our aim that we may not be driven merely by hostile events to a debision which might not appear to us to be justified by a voluntary resolution. Here, however, our right in the principalities has its limits. " As, however, the Berlin Cabinet has returned to this point, subsequently to the exposition of our views in our communications of the 14th inst., we cannot therefore but express the conviction, with the candour which we owe to the allied Court, that Prussia is not in a position to de clare the security of the interests of Germany in the Danu bian principalities to be dependent upon an exclusive oc cupation by Austria. We aro far from wishing to evoke discussions upon past events ; but if the Berlin Cabinet consults its remembrances, its must confess to itself that in the question of our advance into the principalities it has observed an attitude which fairly excludes it from an± title to make the objection that the principalities are not occupied by us exclusively. " If the foregoing offers no opportunity to more precise explanations of our former communications, on the other hand wo do not find in the declaration of Baron von Man teuffel any guarantee for an adequate result to a negotia tion of both Powers in common at Frankfort. To the European Powers the Prussian Cabinet expresses itself ac cording to its declarations of the Gth inst., and continually engages to give its moral support td the four points, and is willing to use its influence in the Bund, that the com mittee of the Bund may declare itself willing to contribute its moral support in favour of these points immediately that any opportunity should offer to open negotiations upon the basis of the same. The Prussian Cabinet, however, at the same time repeats the assertion that it has some scruples in respect to these points, and besides advances the doubt whether at this period a negotiation hereon promises any practical result to the Brand. The Prussian Courtwill cer• tainly, however, find it only just if, on our side, we can re solve to bring forward at Frankfort only such propositions as are adapted to accord the situation of the Bund with our own, and if we in any case regard the promise of the moral support of the four points not to be accordant with objec tions to the same. " In such a positionof things we can only, though with sorrow, share the doubt of Prussia of the possibility of the establishment of a common proposition of both Powers. We will therefore take counsel whether it is advisable that we should bring our propositions before the council at Frankfort separately, by the imperial presidia' ambassador, and evoke a decision of the Bund, when we shall be in the position to act accordingly ; or whether it Its better to wait till the Governments of the German Confederation find it in their interest to resume the negotiations upon a question which so deeply affects Europe. " All the proceedings of the Emperor bear witness to his Majesty's deep impression how incalculably important it is that in the present crisis Austria should remain united with Prussia and the German Bund. The labours of<Aue trio., however, do not insure the attainment of this end. It requires the co-operation of the Governments of Ger many, and, above all, of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in whose exhaulted character (personal disposition— gcraillhe), and highly-enlightened sense (siane), repoie 'the best guarantee for salutary resolutions. You will acquaint Baron Mantenffel with the present note. — We stall make a confidential communication of the same to the Gettnarce Courts.—Receive, &c., iluoL."

(The w i tness was here very m uch ca affected, and was allowed to give the rest of his. evidence sitting.) She neglected her home, and made awa y with all her son's clothes and my furniture to procure drink ; in fact, she parted with every article, however trifling, to indulge in her propensity. I have endeavoured to prevent her from drinking by becoming a total abstainer myself, but without effect, and my son was a young man of sober, kind, and steady habits. On Thursday last, when I left the el-ceased with his mother in the parlour she was fearfully intoxicated, and a short time afterwards she cried out that her son was going to leave her. When I went into the parlour again the de ceased was greatly affected, and ran out of the house, saying that he cculd not bear it any longer. I never slw my child again alive. The great dread of my son was that his mother would, in one of her fits of drunk- . enness, go to his place of business and disgrace him. I have no doubt that his mind being wrought to a pitch of madness he committed suicide. _ _ The Coroner said that the case was one of the most affecting he had ever heard, and ho hoped that Mr. Bailey would, if possible, get the rector, or one of the curates of the parish of St. Mary, Newington, to point out to the mother of the poor youth the fearful conse quences of her depravity. Mr. Bailey said he would do so, but he felt the death of his only child was a dreadful price to pay for the re formation of his wife. After a short consultation , the jury r eturned a ver dict of " Temporary insanity." In the action on the Alma the colours of the Scotch Fusilier Guards had 26 bullets through them.
