It does not appear, from M. Bineau's statement, whether or not the highest amount received under the last reign has or has not been exceeded, for, by a singular over sight in a paper purporting to be a statement of the financial year 1853, the writer nowhere informs the pub lic what the sum total of revenue and expenditure for the year has been. He contents himself with indicating the continuance of the improvement which has gone on, with more or less rapidity, ever since the calamitous year 1848. We must, therefore, supply from other official sources this information. The revenue of 1853 was, when it was voted, estimated at 1,244,304,281 f. M. Bineau says that this estimate has been exceeded by 74,000,000 f., which makes an actual total of 1,318,304,281 f. The actual revenue of 1847 was 1,336,303,268 f. The pre sent revenue is, therefore, only about 18,000,000 f. less than it was in the last year of Louis Philippe's reign. Such is the result of the extraordinary resources and elasticity of the public fortune in France. Within 40 years that country has gone through no less than three of the severest financial trials to which any State was ever exposed. In ISI4 France was drained by the consequences of defeat, and every nation of the continent avenged on her the outrages and extortions Napoleon had successively inflicted on them. In 1830 the finances, which the Government of the Restoration had most ably administered, were again overthrown. In 1848 the con vulsion was more sudden and more terrible, for the storm broke in the noonday of apparent prosperity, and every interest in the country bowed to the blast. Five more years have almost sufficed to repair that evil, and firm indeed must be the credit of that country which has withstood such convulsions as these. The effect of this statement has been deservedly fa vourable, and it has probably been published in order to check the tendency to depression now perceptible in French securities. If this depression originated in any mistrust of the resources of the country, it would be en tirely misplaced, for we have no doubt the French Trea sury will find means to meet any circumstances that may arise. But we have long since remarked that an impulse had been given in France to excessive private specula tion by establishments professing to substitute facilities of credit for real wealth, and that, in all probability, many of these bubbles would at no distant period collapse and vanish. The persons interested in these questionabl - ' transactions are, of course, the first to suffer by the present political aspect of Europe, and the first to protest against measures which may hasten by a few. months their ruin. These adventurers are the insects of sunny days, and on the first change of weather they perish; but. althencrh the- fate of their tITI. 4 :4 - Z! dertakings may throw a transient gloom over the corn. nierelat world and cause much private embarrassinent, , - there is no reason to suppose that the resources of the country or the finances of the State can be seriously af fected by such disasters, even if they occur. The conse quences of a limited harvest, and the scarcity of money which accompanies the high price of provisions, would -**. try the soundness of such schemes withqut any reference ' • to the chances of war,,and the politiCal difficulties of the time are probably not the principal causes of,the depres;. sion complained of abroad in trade ; but the credit of the nation is comparatively untouched by these incidents, and, after all she has undergone, the vast national re• sources of France still place her at the head of the richest st. nations of continental Europe. -'assengers to or Iron, be conveyed by First or Second class.

Don't talk of becoming the protec tor of a Grand Seignor, in Europe, when you have knocked our Mahomedan dynasties like nine pins in India, and when you have' the Great Mogul, who had 100 millions of subjects when you went there,- shut up now in Delhi, the most miserable spectacle of fallen greatness in the world. (Cheers)." The argument of Mr. Cobden (for, however unwillingly, he is at last driven to enforce the semblance of an argument) is this, do not apply a principle in any case unless you are prepared in every case to apply it—and as you have com mitted aggressions yourselves, add to the guilt you have incurred by permitting aggressions to be committed by others. Mr. Bright, who followed on the same side, declared that " our hands were not clean enough " for us to interfere with Russia. What would Mr. Bright say to a conscientious policeman who, knowing that burglars had entered a house, and hearing screams of murder proceeding from the inmates, should refuse to interfere, on the ground that he had once himself committed an aggravated assault ? - - give 2,500,000 f. (2,412,000 f.) more than they were esti mated at. The recovery of these taxes was easy and rapid throughout the whole of 1853. " On the 31st of December the sums got in exceeded the terms due, that is to say, the 11 months due, by 13,500,000 f. (13,579,100 E), representing 39 centimes of the last twelfth due. Never was the collection so far in advance. Before 1852 it never exceeded 11 centimes, and last year it was only 29 centimes. The result has been obtained without presing on the taxpayers, for the expenses of proceedings on the 31st of December only amounted to 2f. 27c. 1,0001., or 49c. less than at a si milariperiod of 1852, though in that period the expenses of proceedings were inferior to those of the seven pre ceding years. Compared together, these two results, equally desirable, the state of the collection and the diminution of the cost of proceedings, prove clearly the goodwill and easy circumstances of ie taxpayers, and, also, what will be agreeable to the solicitude of the Emperor, the moderation of the tax collectors. " The produce of forests and fisheries amounted to more than 1,500,000 E (1,667,925 f.) above the estimates, although a part•of the forests has been set apart to the dotation of the Crown. The railway companies have reimbursed 6,000,000 f. (6;402,346f.) more than had been calculated on. The divers proceeds of the budget have given 17,000,000 f. more than had been expected (17,295,290 f.) The total increase of these receipts above the estimates of the budget amount to the very consider able sum -of 74,000,000 f. (73,878,561 E) " The situation of the budget of 1853 is, then, as fol lows :—The budget of 1853 was established with ;re sources insufficient by 34,000,000 f. (34,192,794 E), and supplementary and extraordinary credits have amounted to 64,000,000 E (63,900,446 f.), which will make an ap credits annulled, which will' be about 20,000,000 f., and parent deficit of 98,000,000 f. (98,093,240 f.) ; the increase of the receipts, which is about 74,000,0001., will reduce the deficit to about 4,000,000 f. " Before terminating what concerns the year 1853, I ask your Majesty's permission to call your attention for but the a moment to the coinage. The year 1853-will haw), wit nessed almost the entire renewal of our coin, and France will have the finest collection of money in the world. The great operation of the recoining of the copper money is •being carried,put without the least difficulty, and to the great satisfaction of the people, who see with grati tude a coin light, elegant', and-adakrably executed sub stituted for the common and clumsy pieces which served for their transactions. All the different pieces of the copper money have been prepared, and on the 31st Dec. last the total amount in circulation was about 5,000,0001., Measures have been taken for causing this operation to be rapidly accomplished, .and there is no doubt at pre sent that it will not impose.any charge on the Treasury. The pieces of silver with, the effigy of the Emperor, are in course of issue, with the exception of the piece of 5f., which is about 'to appear. The pieces of 20f. and 10E,in gold are being issued, :and that of sf. will be coined shortly. In recently decreeing the coining of sf. gold pieces your Majesty haftKovided for the wants of circu lation, and powerfully contributed to calm the apprehea sions which the abundance of gold caused some persons to entertain.

QUEEN'S SPEECH. ***lt was imagined by some of my subjects that it Would be difficult to make up a speech at the opening of Parliament —foreign relations being in a rather sad condition, and some people having made free with our home institutions ; but notwithstanding all these circumstances it becomes me to congratulate you on the vast amount of prosperity which is felt in all commercial circles—a proof of which arc the transactions of E. MOSES and SON ; they have been more industrious than ever in furnishing all my subjects with the Best and Cheapest Dress, which has not only improved the condition and comfort of my people, but is the most cogent reason for the peace and satisfaction which prevails throughout these great kingdoms. What are the intentions of the Emperor of the North it is difficult to determine, but the North itself is not capable of resisting the strong and fashionable Overcoats, Palctots, and Attire for all classes made by E. NOSES and Sow, for it is the best and cheapest ever offered. It is a source of regret that many of the necessaries of life are charged most enormous prices, but our loyal subjects, E. MOSES and Sow, have so reduced the Price of Clothing, Hosiery, Hats, Boots, and Shoes, &c., that the inconvenience of high-priced food is little felt by the great majority of my subjects who patronise their Este blishments and its Branches, New Oxford-street, corner of Hart street, Fargate. Shefileld, and Bradford, Yorkshire. I recommend to you the affairs of those in Australia, and trust you will,flt them with laws as E. Mom and Sow Outfit them with Clothes and every other article required for that prosperous country ; and as this business is attended to with the greatest industry, care. and experience by E. Mesas and SON, either wholesale or smaller parcels may be selected at any moment. I trust you will continue to imitate their business-like example, as you recollect so well their name, places of business, and plans of trade. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITS ANY (MIES HOUSE IN OX OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Less waste, either by friction or decomposition. 4. Saving in the wear of boilers and fire bars. None of the existing Steam Fuel Companies possess the advantage • of being entirely supplied from their cwn collieries with coal specially adapted for the manufacture of the fuel. It has hitherto been the practice to manufacture the small coal or refuse only into steam fuel, and the heavy royalties paid to the patentees. and the expensive machinery employed, have left a com paratively small sum available for the purchase of even small coal of the requisite quality, without a material reduction in the profits. With a view to meet these objections, this Company has secured, upon advantageous terms, the right of using an economical patent process, and the patentee has entered into an agreement that the cost of the fuel, free on board (inclusive of the cost and transit of the coal) shall not exceed Sc. 9d. per ton. The present price of thn fuel at Swansea is 14s. : thus leaving a nett profit of ss. 3d. per ton to the Company. The patentee has engaged that the first works, capable of produc ing 100 tons a day, shall be completed within four months from their commencement. The works will be enlarged with the increasing de mand for the fuel. As the enlargement of the works will not cause any addition to the expenses of managensent and other fixed charges, It is fair to presume that this will result in a considerable augmenta tion of the divisible profits. The Company has also secured the lease of a valuable colliery of 500 acres in extent, with an unexpired term of 94 years, and subject to a royalty of 6d. per ton. There are five seams of bituminous and free burning coal, aggregsting about 20 feet in thickness ; one seam has been already opened by level. The coal field is situated 300 yards from the Port Tennant Canal, which communicates with Brit ton Ferry, the shipping port of Neath, and the eastern side of Swan sea harbour. These two ports nearly approximate the lines of the South Wales and Vale of Neath Railways. The coal on this property is peculiarly adapted, from its purity and strength, to the purpose for which it is intended; and it cin be easily won and worked as may be seen by reference to the geological map of the district, and the reports of two engineers and colliery viewers. Considering the very large quantity of coal which the colliery is capable of supplying beyond that which is requisite for the manufac ture of the patent fuel, the surplus can be sold for steam, manufac turing, or household purposes ; and from this source alone a large re venue will arise to the Company. Two levels can be opened in six weeks ; and the coal can be sold in any quantity and at a very remu nerative price, in Swansea and the contiguous markets. The Patent Fuel has been subjected to frequent trials, of which the most recent was made in the course of the month of June last, in the Wave Queen Steamer, and the very favourable result is detailed in the annexed reports by Messrs. Dickson and Graves. The long experience which each of them has had in the testing of various kinds of steam fuel, and the careful manner in which the trial was made, impress a peculiar value upon the unanimity of their opinion. The characteristics of this Mel are—its being well condensed and carbonised ; its showing a clean fracture when broken, and being free from slag or other impure matter. It rapidly generates heat, brings out a clear fire under the boilers (which Mr. Graves designates as from stoked. e oe The mpt on o economican waste "brilliant"), with little smok e , c i n d e r or clinker, and can be easily value ti odvuerri during coal consists longvo voyage; gteh;e whilstf uel being effects e fr c ee ts a saving equal to thirty-five per cent. in stowage.

Quisnam Delator ? quibus indiciis ? quo teste probavit ? Nil horum. Juvenal. Most pernicious is the trite saying that there never is much smoke without some fire. As reason ably might it be said that there cannot be much falsehood without some truth. The very nursing mother of calumny is the proverbial inference ac crediting it from mere volume of rumour. The slanderer is encouraged by the foreknowledge that he has only to scatter his imputations far and wide to obtain some belief in them ; he foreknows that much noise will be taken to argue substance, and that he has only to fill the air with calumny, and that people will take it in and breathe it out again, and pass it thus from mouth to mouth. There is an offence common in society, which is to calumny what in the law misprison is to treason. The misprison of calumny is the entertainment of. it upon the grounds of the pestilent saying we have quoted, that there must be some truth at the bottom of it because of its magnitude ; and in this way every one helps on the lie to additional credit. And as it grows in falsehood and malignity, larger and larger is the allowance for the fire smouldering under so much smoke. We repeat that nothing can be more irrational, more mischievous, more unjust and cruel than this rule of credence, which mightly encourages the assailant of reputation, and makes the activity of his attacks secure its success, up at least to a very injurious point. Most perverse indeed is the proneness of the world to think of the truth that may be in common defamatory rumours, instead of the falsehood that must be in them. There is nothing more certain than that a fact and the report of it are never in exact correspondence. There is sure to be exagge ration nay, so much of course is exaggeration , Alikt r 4ensny fact were reported in the , precise lan guage of truth it would be misunderstood, large allowance being always made in the interpretation of the narrative for the usual excess in expression. How much better, then, it would be if people would think of the large amount of falsehood which enters into all they hear, instead of the particle of truth which may be, or may not be, at the bottom of a piece of ill-natured gossip, A few weeks ago it was our ungracious task to dispute the seasonableness and fitness of a statue in honour of Prince Albert : we have now to pro test against throwing down the reputation of the Prince, if not upon mere suspicion, upon no better ground than on dits and stories, carrying on the face of them this stamp of falsehood, that they must have been divulged by the persons implicated in them, whose motives to concealment must have been the very strongest. Is it to be believed that, if Prince Albert had unconstitutionally inter. meddled in the councils of the nation, the ministers whose duty it is not to suffer such interference would have been the very persons to proclaim the betrayal of their trust and their base servility ? And by whom else could the fact be promulgated ? We have seen it superficially remarked, that Prince Albert being a Privy Councillor, the Queen may constitutionally take his advice on affairs of state. But if her Majesty did so, the minister re sponsible, to whose counsels her Majesty preferred the Prince Consort's should make his bow and re tire. Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli are Privy Councillors, and the Queen has the undoubted right of recourse to their advice if her Majesty thinks fit; but upon such a step Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Gladstone would resign. Suspicion then of undue interference can only mount up to Prince Albert upon the preliminary conviction that her Majesty's Ministers have betrayed their trust. If there has been any wrong practice, it is they who have to answer for suffering it, and upon them should first fall the storm of indignation. Blame cannot justly touch Prince Albert till the Ministry be convicted of having failed to protect and assert their constitutional rights. And this brings us to a fair question of credibility. Is it to be believed that such men as compose the present Cabinet would be so servile, so abject, as to submit to the interferences with their functions, which are al leged to have been of habitual practice ? In order to begin thinking ill of tlyz Prince Con sort, how much worse must we think of all her Majesty's responsible advisers, severally and col lectively ? Let people whose minds are inflamed by the idea of foreign .interference ask themselves fairly why they should suppose such men as Lord Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Lord Cla rendon, Sir James Graham, Lord Granville, the Duke of Newcastle, destitute of the British feeling, British spirit, and we will say British jealousy, which are so powerfully stirred in their own breasts by a mere rumour. If the idea is so offensive to John Bull, let him think what the fact would have been to ministers degraded personally by the med dling with their duties which also violates constitu tional rule. We respect the British jealousy of foreign inter ference, nay, we share in it strongly ; but let us beware that no lago practises on this passion for mixed motives of selfishness and malignity. And we cannot but be struck by the fact that the bitter est attacks on the Prince Consort for alleged sym pathies with despotic powers and policy, proceed from the old champions of despotism and invete rate foes of liberty in every province of politics and in every part of the world. When we see the assaults on the character of the Prince from these quarters, they make us think, to account for them, of the good we know of his Royal Highness, and not of the evil that may be imagined. They make us dwell on what he has done for social improve ment, for humanity, for arts, for the comfort of industry, and of his enlightened liberal views— liberal not in the narrow party sense of the word / but in the large original sense. It would be most unfair to allow the Prince to be prejudiced by injudicious or foolish defences, and it is to be regretted that some degree of coun tenance was given to the letter of an Irish busy body, arguing that the Prince Consort is at once the Queen's master and servant—master by mar tial right, and servant as Privy Councillor. Be sides this balderdash from Dublin, there has been a weak defence made to the charge of interfer ence, on the ground of the impossibility of denying the Queen recourse to consultation with her hus band. Her Majesty's opinions may undoubtedly be guided or formed by her consort's opinions, it is neither possible nor desirable to prevent that ; but we all know that her Majesty has acted her -part on such strict and high constitutional princi ples, that her own opinions never interfered with the counsels of her responsible . Ministers. Lord Melbourne, Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, Lord Derby and Lord Aberdeen administered the affairs of the country upon different, and two of them upon diametrically opposite systems of policy, but never have her Majesty's opinions clashed or even jarred with the principles of her responsible advisers for the time being. The Queen cannot have agreed with all her different Administrations, but to all she has given for the period of their re.. sponsibilities a fair field and all due favour. We may be sure, then, that if her Majesty's opinions are influenced by the personage nearest and dearest to her, such influence extends no farther than the private judgment, the difference between, which and state counsels has been so admirably discrimi nated in the conduct of the most constitutional Sovereign that ever filled the English throne. Are we to believe that there is one rule for the Queen, another for the Prince Consort, that what the Queen refrains from as wrong, the Prince practises as permissible. If his Royal Highness were dis posed so to act, and her Majesty to acquisce in his so acting, why should -the parts be divided ? Would not the same influence more conveniently and safely for the purpose cause the Queen directly to take more than her constitutional share in the conduct of affairs of State, which it is notorious she never has done. There can be no occasion for the intervention of a prompter when the part is got by heart con amore.' On Tuesday the Queen goes in state to open the session of Parliament. It is a remarkable occasion. It may make the date in history of events of mighty magnitude for the weal or woe of nations. For nearly half a century there has not been a juncture when it was of such momentous importance that the people of England should show themselves actuated by one spirit, and eager to support their Sovereign with heart and hand in a just quarrel. Never was it of such transcen dant importance to avoid any sign that may be misinterpreted abroad and tortured to the significance of disaffection.

When England shall be told why her statesmen, thrice deceived by Russia, still put faith in her promises ? Why Turkey was required to surrender at Vienna all she had been told to resist at Constantinople ? Why Omar Pacha was prevented from attacking the Russians until their reinforcements arrived ? Why the winter is selected instead of the summer for navigating the Euxiue ? Why England has urged on Turkey the renewal of treaties which have been the origin of all this disturbance, in stead of seizing a most favourable opportunity to get rid of them for ever ? Well may the / imes admire that a country with out a Parliament can go on. Pretty certain it is, that but for the advent of the session, notes and conferences and telegraphic desp a tches would have constituted the most energetic measures of the English Ministry. Nicholas might have moved down his six corps d'armee into the Principalities. He might, ad libitum, have shot and pillaged the inhabitants. He might have ravaged the coasts of the Euxine and burnt the last remnant of the fleet of our allies, had it not been for the fatal meeting of Parliament. Like wine —cc in proelia trudit inertem." Placed between the benches of opposi-, tion and the Black Sea, even our cautious Premier prefers, to plunge wildly among the waves. In the meantime there. is 0. voice from Manchester —though not ~,freekoue-lref those-thronged and tumultuous meetinowhich heralded the repeal of the Corn Laws. "In consequence of the present state of the Free Trade Hall, we are informed, it was not possible to hold the meeting there ; and in consequence, we presume, of Manchester pos sessing no other large room, " the room in which the meeting took place was not capable of holding more than 250 or 300 persons." In short, the meeting resembled far more closely an anti-free trade gathering at 40, New Bond street, than one of the old-fashioned Manchester demonstrations. But still, as in all the principal towns in the kingdom the largest halls have been found insufficient to receive those who were anxious to testify their abhorrence of Russian policy, and to urge on our ministry a less timid and vacillating course, the Czar and his friends will no doubt feel grateful for the apologies which have been made for them, although proceeding from a Manchester tea party. As an artful defence of his somewhat unpromis ing clients Mr. Cobden's speech had indeed great merit. No man can more dexterously insinuate a variety of circumstances likely to induce his h earers to form an erroneous conclu sion. He will point out every real and every imaginary defect in the Government of Turkey, for example, and then say, Now don't suppose that I am advising you to aban don her. Or he will enumerate the rare facts which he can find to place Russia, and the Emperor in a favourable point of view, and then say, Now don't suppose I am making any excuse for the conduct of Nicholas. No, ho clearly perceives that if he placed his argument in the form of a syllogism it would break down under him, and therefore when, as in the present instance, he has to deal with the con sciousness of a bad cause, his labours are directed towards prejudicing the minds of his hearers. That the strong indignation entertained by a lmost every Englishman. exce pt Mr. Cobden against the Russian Government has be en occasioned by any antipathy on the part of the Russian people towards Englishmen, no one had ever asserted or imagined. Mr. Cobden, however, finds it con venient to assume that the assertion has been made in order to create an impression favourable to Russia. " Well, but this question about your hatred and an tagonism to Russia, what is it founded on ? Is it founded on any antipathy on the part of Russia to England? No. There is no such antipathy. Englishmen are no where more popular, nowhere exercise more social sway than in Russia. If you go to- St. Petersburg you will find there some thirty or forty English merchants, who are far more influential than those English merchants are in any other part of Europe, for our merchants have been declining in numbers and influence in almost every part of Europe excepting St. Petersburg. There is no hostility on the part of Russia towards England : on the contrary, their feeling is of a very different kind. The Russians imitated us in most things. There is an Eng lish club in St. Petersburg, founded on the same prin ciples as one of our own clubs, and even called ' The English Club,' and conducted after the manner of your own in Moseley-street. The Russians have also their horse racing, and, more than this, you can scarcely go into a nobleman's family in Russia without finding the children in charge of an English nurse, and I scarcely know that they could pay us any better compliment." The facts that the Russians have a club in St. Petersburg called " the English Club," like that in Moseley-street—and that Russian noblemen prefer English nurses to their own serfs—can scarcely be considered very material to the question of peace or war. A less skilful advocate would have omitted them. But Mr. Cobden knew his audience —the " English nurses" told with the tea-drinkers. Here Mr. Cobden is a little drawn away from his main argument by his jealousy of the English aristocracy. He cannot resist the following apt comparison (we quote from the Times, the passage appearing to have been suppressed in the Man chester edition of the speech) : e Might I beg your patience if I add, that there is some thing in the social organisation of Russia—not in its political organisation, mind—which resembles that of England more than of any other country of Europe ; because Russia and England are the only countries where .you find certain great families exalted to an inac cessible attitude above their fellows—the Demidoffs and Potemkins in the one, the Sutherlands and the house of Bedford in the other---and around them a peasantry en tirely separated from the soil, with a great gulf between, over which they could not tread. Now, don't let me be misunderstood. What I say is this, that in Russia there is a rich aristocracy like that which we have here ; while, in every other country in Europe, it has been ex tinguished, or laws exist which will have the effect of extinguishing it by changing the law of succession. Don't let me be understood to asperse my fellow-coun trymen by saying there is any resemblance between the political condition of this country and that of Russia ; but I repeat, I refer only to the soc i a l or ganisation of the two countries. The likeness between the 'Towards and Rus sells of England and the descendants of the base-born lovers of Nicholas's grandmother is strik ing indeed—almost as striking as that between the Russian peasant or sailor and the Englishman of the extitt gu o i r eh la in w g sa me condition ; or between the domain of an Eng f lish nobleman and t he ste ppes of a Russian prince. But Mr. Cobden apologises for the comparison by s aying that in every other country the aristocracy has ha v e beenthe effectextinguished, e them.exist Mr. wwill Cob den might nevertheless have found a nearer paral lel for our own aristocracy in the Hungarians, who not only possess vast estates, but in many instances (as in that of Count Szechenyi) have devoted them selves to the improvement of their country, and up to a recent period have taken an active share in its government. Austria has not yet entirely extin guished them, nor succeeded in reducing them so low as the level of the Potemkins and the Men schikoffs. After this little escapade, Mr. Cobden pursues the tortuous thread of his argument. He has at last discovered that the outcry against Russia has nothing to do with English clubs or English nurse maids. "Now, on what, I ask, is founded this national out cry against Russia ? No doubt on the fact that Russia is making an unjust aggression on a neighbouring state —(cheers)—and upon that question of the acts of the Government of Russia towards the Government of Tur key there are not two opinions in this country. (Cheers.) If you ask me my opinion of the Government of the Czar towards the Government of Turkey, I will say it is unjust, aggressive, and insolent. (Cheers.) But if you ask me to go farther, and to trai isfer the expression of opinion on the conduct of Russia in to an act by which I shall assume the right and power to chr ‘stise Russia because she is unjust and insolent, then, I say, you have shifted your ground completely, and I ask y ou to show me first, how, as an Englishman, I am invesb ed with the power and responsibility of acting as poll ceman all over the world ? (Cheers.) Will you say yor. L will not allow any government to go and take possession of another country without interfering ? Well, that is a principle, and if it be laid' down I will ask my interrogat, ir, in reply, Are you prepared to act on that principle in every case ?' Because what I want is, to have our foil 'eign policy set tled on a principle. (Hear.) Well, thon, I ask, will you apply that principle throughout Eur type ? If so, you must begin in Italy ; you must begin in Rome and the Papal States, where you have a high-s, Mrited people subjected to the yoke of a foreign interventi on. If you are not prepared to do this as a principle—at id lam sure you:are not—then let us consider the quest ion as one of interest to ourselves, and ask are we called 4 . m by regard from safety to interfere ? I dismiss altogetl ter now the questfon of our duty to interfere, and therefi 're without referring to that which might be said to 48 b y 6 :ne in another country Physician cure thyself,., " RESULTS OF THE TEAR 1853. "As established by the law of July 8, 1852, the budget of 1853 presented an insufficiency of resources of 34,000,000 f. (34,192,794 f.) that is to say, the anticipated expenses exceeded the estimate of the receipts by 34,000,000 f. The second part of the year 1853 was affected ,by. different,eircumstances, which no human prudence could either forsee or prevent the coin har= vest was bad, and its insufficiency diminished the receipts of the Treasury and increased its expenses ; nevertheless Sire, in spite of these unfavourable circumstances, not only will the anticipations of the budget be realised, but, and I hasten to inform your Majesty of the fact, will happily be exceeded. The year 1853 will be almost in, equlibrio ; if its receipts do not completely cover its expenditure, the difference will be insignificant, and Only about 4,000,000 f. This unaccustomed equilibrium between the receipts and expenses, so long hoped for, and at which -we have arrived for the first: time, is a financial fact of the highest importance. ,It will, I hope, obtain the high approbation of the Emperor, ,at the same time that it will inspire France with satisfaction as to the state of her finances and give her confidence in her resources. " In order that this happy result may be completely known and appreciated, I bpg your Majesty's permission to point out in detail all the elements of it ; these details are dry, but they are of great interest, as the situation of the Treasury is the resuna of the state of the country. " I have just observed that the budget of 1853 was voted with a deficit of 34,000,000 f. (34,192,794 f.). Sup plementary and extraordinary credits were afterwards opened for a sum of 64,000,000 f. (63,900,446 f.), which carried up the apparent deficit, of 1853 to 98,000,000 f, (98,093,240 f.). This deficit, however; almost entirely disappears before the annulments of credits, and more particularly before the increase in the receipts, which reaches the enormous sum of 74,000,000. Notwith standing the system of • transfers which was introduded by the Senatus-Consultum of December 25, 1852, and which allows of the carrying to one service for which. the grant has been insufficient the disposable re sources of another branch, an the credits opened will not be consumed, and important annulments will take place at the end of the year. During the last 10 years the annulments have amounted, on an aver age, to more than 42,000,000 f. a year. This year they will be much less considerable, because the transfers of credits from one chapter to another have already swallowed up beforehand a great part of the sums which otherwise would have been annulled. The facts known up to thiS time allow the annulments of 1853 to be-estimated at 20,000,000 f. No astonishment will be felt at the fact that, notwithstanding the faculty of transfers which has already been made use of for a sum of 15,000,000 f. (15,446,658 f.), it was necessary to open ' supplementary or extraordinary credits for 1853. When the system of transfer was introduced by the Senatus Consultum of December 25, the budget of 1853 had been already established, and its credits had not been calculated in such a manner as to prevent the opening of supplementary ones. It will, unless extra ordinary and unforseen events should arise, be different for the following years. Vie faculty of transfer is, if not t 6 suppress, at least to redu'ee the supplementary and extraordinary credits in a large proportion. On this condition, the vote of the budget by the Ministry will have reconciled in the happiest manner the right "Arch belongs to the Legislative body to decide on the charges to be imposed on the country, and the right which can only belong to the Chief of the State, to divide and apply, according to the wants of each branch of the service, the resources placed at his disposal for the go vernment and the administration of the empire. Your Majesty will besides remark that, restricted with the most rigid prudence to the most imperious necessities, the supplementary credits remain 10,000,000 f. below the increase in the receipts ; so that the supplements of expenses, authorised by the Emperor, have not only been in cases of urgent want, but have been in propor tion with the progressive increase in the resources of the budget. " In order to pass in review the increase in the re ceipts, I begin by the most important—those which bear on the taxes and indirect revenues. The year 1852 pro duced in taxes and indirect revenue 66,500,000 f. more than the preceding year. This was a wonderful result, and exceeded all that had ever before been witnessed. Some persons, by attributing a part of this increase to what might be called the arrears of affairs and of consumptions, which had been left by preceding years, were disposed to think that this improvement could not continue, and that it would be fortunate if 1853 was able to be maintained on a level with 1852, without exceeding it. Such has not been the case. 1853 produced 42,500,000 f. (42,470,000 f.) more than 1852 ; and if, in order to ren der the comparison more exact, we take one day from 1852, which was bissextile, the year 1853 really produced 44,500,000 f. (44,507,000 f.) more than 1852. "This ascensional movement in the public and pri vate wealth, of which the indirect revenue is the proof, is extremely remarkable. During the 16 years com prised between 1831 and 1846, exclusively, the increase in these revenues was 303,000,0001., or, on an average, 19,000,000 f. a-year. During these 16 years no important change had been made in the taxes or the tariff. It may be, therefore, said that during that period the increase in the public wealth was 19,000,000 f. a.year. In 1852, the first year of your sovereign authority, the increase was enormous, having been 65,500,000 f.; in 1853, the first year of the Empire, it was 42,500,00 f.; being for the two years 109,000,000 f., or an average of 54,500,000 f. a-year—about triple the average of the preceding reign. These results, which are unprecented in our financial history, and which have been obtained in spite of the adverse circumstances which weighed on a part of 1853, are due to the deep sense of security with which France is inspired by a consciousness of her force, by her faith in you, Sire, and her confidence in the institutions which you have given her. In the midst of this move ment of prosperity all the financial departments have given proofs of a devotedness and skill which it is my duty to point out to the attention of your Majesty. They have secured to the Treasury the receipts which were due without embarrassing the taxpayer and the consumer by inopportune exigencies ; they have assisted them by all the forbearance which the law would allow, and they have known how to unite moderation to zeal. "The increase of 42,500,000 f. in 1853, as compared with 1852, is a sign of the general development of busi ness and of the public wealth, for it bears on almost all its elements. The registration dues stand for 18,500,000 f.; the stamp duties for 2,000,000 f. ; the duty on sugar for 6,000,000 f., 3,500,000 f. of which are for home-made sugar, and the remainder divided almost equally between colonial and foreign sugar ; salt for 2,000,000 f. ; potable liquors for 4,000,000 f., notwithstanding the bad vintage of 1853 ; tobacco for 8,000,000 f., and the postage on letters for 2,500,000 f. This increase, divided into months, stands as follows Comparison with the corres ponding month of 1853. Increase. Decrease. January, 1853 9,032 000 f. February 2,303,000f. March April May June July ................... 4,648,000 f. August 5,513,000f. September October 4,645,000f. November 1,855,000f. December Months. 1,321,000 f. 3,379,000 f. Total 4,700,000 f. Increase 42,470,000f. "The decrease in April was owing to a partioular cause ; the receipts in the duties on sugar in April, 1852, were exceptionally increased in consequence of supplies being laid in at that period in anticipation of a modifica tion of the duty. The decrease in December wasp artly owing to the general situation of the country at that time, but in part also to the large amount of the produce of December, 1852. The taxes and indirect revenue were only estimated for 1853 at 803,500,000 f. (803,451,0000 ; they produced 852,500,000 f. (852,544,000 f.) or 49,000,000 (49,093,0000 more than the provisions of the budget. This part of the budget of receipts is not the only one which has exceeded expectations, it is the same with all the others. The sales of domains alone appear to form an exce p tion ; they g ive about 3,000,000 f. less than was supposed. This difference has not, how ever, arisen from the State having sold at a lower price than it had estimated, but only from its having sold less. What was not sold in 1853 remains unsold, and forms a `resource to be realised hereafter. The exception is, there fore, only apparent, and the realisations will have every where °exceeded the anticipations. The direct taxes will "In the financial report which, at a similar epoch last year, I had the honour to submit to your Majesty, I stated at the end of the year 1852 the total of the de ficits of the budget would be 758,000,000 f., including the 78,000,000 f. which the State reimbursed to fund holders in consequence of the conversion of the Five per Cents. In these deficits the portion of the year 1852 was, by estimate, set alm o st 28,000,000 f. Facts, how ever, have exceeded ' zity hopes. The deficit of 1852 will not attain 26,600,000 f., which will reduce by 2,000,000 f. the total of deficits previous to the year 1853. Thanks to the happy results which I have just pointed out, the yew: 1853 will add nothing, or almost nothing, to these deficits ; it will not leave any charge on our financial situation. The Emperor knows that the existence of a large deficit, far from being an em barrassment for the Treasury, is for it a necessity, on account of the obligation under which it is and must be to receive the funds of the savings' banks, public estab lishments, and several other current accounts. In ordi nary times, with these 'obligatory current accounts, the Treasury is' sometimes exposed to having too much in hand. At present, although some of these sources are becoming dried up,. • although the dearness of food diminishes the deposit% in the savings' bank, and although the communes are withdrawing a part of their funds in order to give work during the winter, the Treasury has still sufficient resource r s on hand. We have just paid the half-year's dividend of 3 percent. ; we are in the month of the year in which the collection is the least considerable; and yet the sum in - Snd is 34,000,000 f. The portfolio contains, besides, in cithmercial bills, Customhouse draughts and bonds of the, indirect taxes, in the bills and bonds of the purchases of the wood and of cuttings of wood, and in neotiable bonds of railway companies, 157,000,000 f., of which 80,000,000 f. fall due in 1854, and the — greater part of them' within a short time ; 33,000,000 f. in 1855, and 44,000,000 f. in 1856, and the following years. The Treasury may then dispose, on the day it 'spay requirftof very important resources, which are at (resent 6r WO be immediately in hand. " THE YEAR 1854. " Fixed by the law of the 10th Juno, 1853, the budget of 1854 has been established with a surplus of 3,500,0001. (3,467;640f.) Unforeseen wants have already made themselves felt ; but we may calculate on an increase in the receipts, since, in the year 1853, the indirect taxes gave a sum superior to that at which they were esti mated for 1854.± " THE YEAR 1855. "The Council of State is at this moment examining the budget of 1855. It presents an equilibrium. The budget of 1851, that which preceded your accession, left a deficit of 101,000,000 f. The deficit of 1852 has only amounted to 26,000,000 f. ; that of 1853 will be only about 4,000,000 f. This progress will, I hope, continue, and, except in the case of extraordinary wants for 1854, the equilibrium will become customary in our finances, as it should be the rule of them. "I have concluded, sire, the account of the financial situation of the empire. This statement is not less satis factory than that which, at a similar period last year, I had the honour to submit to you. 1852 and 1853, two memorable years in the political history of France, will be also remarkable in her financial history. During these two years, at the same time that the Emperor re-esta blished order and authority, he has re-established the public and the private prosperity ; without new taxes, or a new charge for the country, the Emperor has main tained the reduction of the salt-tax and lessened the land tax ; without a loan, your Majesty has executed in two years extraordinary public works to the amount of 150,000,000 E—the expense of which works might, how ever, have been cast on the future, which will enjoy the fruits of them ; and, instead of borrowing, your Majesty has by the conversion and paying off of the Five per Cents. reduced by 21,500,000 f. the annual interest of the public debt. "To record these great results, sire, is to state anew the profound gratitude which France feels for your Ma jesty, which has raised so high the prosperity and the grandeur of the empire. I am, with the most profound respect, &c., " BINEAtr, Minister of Finance." ( From the Times.) Among the means employed to throw doubts on the determination of the French and English Governments to act with becoming energy in the present state of affairs in the East, some use has been made of the alleged financial difficulties of the French Government, and the embarrassed condition of the resources of that empire. To these statements the French Minister of Finance, M. Bineau, replies by an official report, which we publish elsewhere, on the financial results of the year 1853 ; and, if credit is to be attached to this document, the Imperial Government has much reason to congratu late itself on the management of the national Treasury. M. Bineau boasts that in the two years which have elapsed since Louis Napoleon assumed absolute power the financial affairs of the country have greatly improved. Without imposing any new tax upon the people, the re duction of the duty on salt has been maintained, and some diminution effected in the charges on land. Without any fresh loan, 150,000,000 f. have been spent in public works for the embellishment of the capital and the im provement of the territory ; and, on the other band, the reduction of the Five per Cents. to a Four-and-a - Hal f per Cent. Stock has enabled the Government to save about 800,0001. on the interest of the fundeddebt. In the meanwhile the annual deficit has been reduced by a he large increase in the ordinary sources of r t e i v e en e u s e timates whole deficiency on the year 1853, from as voted, with the addition of certain extraordinary and unforeseen expenses, would have amount m eet ted to no less than 4,000,000/. ster lin g; but, to his dfi ciency, there has been an increase m the receipts, over and above the estimated revenue, of more than 3,aeodoofi,gouo betweenr: d. sterling, and the greater part . of . the remainder y is made up by the withdrawal of certamittehmesdwiffetcrhenhe in the estimates ; insomuch that the revenue actually received and the actual expenditure of last year is stated to be only 160,000/. The direct and indirect taxes of the year 1852 produced 66,500,000 f. (2,800,000/.) more than the preceding year ; and the year 1853 has produced 42,000,000 f. (1,750,0001.) more than 1852. M. Biueau asserts, with some reason, that this increase of revenue in two years is almost unex ampled in financial history ; but he appears to forget that he compares these years with a period of great depression and calamity immediately preceding them, and that they are not so much a positive increase of reve nue as a return to that state of things which the Rove `ution of February had for a time destroyed. The iu crease in the revenue of France during the best years of the reign of Louis Philippe (from 1831 to 1846) was 303,000,0001.; but this advance indicated, from year to year, the steady progress of the country. The compa rison instituted by M. Bineau indicates the frightful oscillations in the resources of a great nation, which are the consequence of revolution. The budget of the year 1848 was ultimately closed with a loss of 560,000,000 f., which were provided by extraordinary resources. A similar comparison might, therefore, be drawn between " Pieces of 10 centime 5.......... 2,986,864 f. 1,810,896 33,331 106,862 5 19 2 pf 1 PP 4,937,975 f. + They yielded in 1853 852,541,000f. The budget of 1851 only eatimated them at 851,256,060 j CORONER'S INQUEST. After a delay of several days, caused by the tempes tuous state of the weather, Mr. Davis, one -of the coro ners for the county of Dublin, at length, succeeded in the course of Thursday in getting two of the bodies of the unfortunate persons lost in the late calamitous shipwreck at Lambay, conveyed in a steam-tug to Ringsend, near Dublin; and yesterday morning the remains were carried from that place, in a hearse, to Malahide, the nearest locality to the scene of the disaster suited for holding an inquest. The bodies selected for the purpose were those of Edward Kewly, the second mate of the Tayleur, and of Dr. Conyngham's child, as there would be no difficulty about their identification ; and a third body was also taken to Malahide on Friday in a boat from Lambay. Capt. - Walker, R.N., as Government inspector, was present on Friday morning to watch the proceedings at the inquest ; and Lieut. Prior, R.N., the government emigration agent at Liverpool, was likewise in attendance, a telegraphic mes sage having been despatched fur him to London on the preceding day ; a number of highly respectable and in telligent gentlemen were summoned to compose the jury; and the room in the Malahide Arms, in which the inves tigation was held, was crowded with the friends and re latives of emi g rants who had perished in the wreck of . the Tayleur. Mr. F. Codd, T.C., whose brother was one of the sufferers, attended with Mr. Coffey, as coun sel, and Mr. Oldham, as solicitor ; and Mr. Ganly, an other respectable citizen, whose son was among the vic tims ; and Mr. Bagnall, T.C., who had lost a niece in the disaster, were among those in attendance. A jury of fourteen gentlemen having been sworn, and having viewed the bodies, Mr. Jones said he had been sent by the underwriters from Liverpool, but he was then prts6nt merely from curiosity, having received no official notice from the coroner to attend. He, complained also that the captain of the Tayleur had received no summons or other notice ; that he expected the inquiry would take place at Rings end, and not here ; and that tie (ttrlY captain) was unpre pared with any legal assistance, having employed a soli citor in Dublin, to whom he said that the inquest wpuld be held 'at- Several persons in the room here said that they had seen the captain and first mate there a few minutes since ; that Mr. Jones had been speaking to the captain, and had called the mate out of a room in which lie had been taking some porter; and that both the captain and mato thin got upon a car and drove off to Dublin. The Coroner said it was not improbable that they had gone for legal advice, and then proceeded to hear evi dence. On Saturday morning at eleven the inquest was re sumed. Captain Walker, of the naval department of the Board of Trade, was present to watch the proceedings on the part of the Government ; and after the coroner's investigation shall have concluded, the gallant captain will hold an inquiry, perhaps, at the Custom-house, into all the circumstances connected with the late terrific disaster. Lord Talbot De Malahide was present during the inquiry. Captain Noble, of the wrecked ship, was the first witness called. He was examined at great length, and the drift of his testimony was in accordance with the general description of the wreck hitherto given in this journal. He had three life-boats and four long boats on board, which were ready to be launched ; but when the vessel struck no boat could live in the sea that was then rolling, and he made no attempt to lower any of those boats ; at any time from Liverpool to the time of the accident, he did not experience any obstruction from the want or efficiency of hands, but he found on some occasions that the rudder did not answer to the man at the wheel ; his opinion was that the rudder was too small ; on the day he left Liverpool, he went ashore and told the owners of the Tayleur that she was ready for sea, and that he was anxious to put to sea, as the weather seemed favourable ; he was appointed to the Tayleur by the owners in June last. She was then in the builder's yard where she was built. At about two o'clock the Coroner received a despatch from the Sub-Inspector of Constabulary, to the effect that he required the Coroner's order to have the bodies in terred. Forty-two of those bodies were coffined and ready for interment ; nine more, and three which had been picked up onFriday, were then lying on the ground, and these were so far advanced in a state of decomposi tion that their identification was quite impossible. The Coroner having consulted the parties concerned, he issued an order that the bodies should be all interred in the grave-yard which is on the island of Lambay. Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., here stated that he was in structed to state that the owners and charterers of the Tayleur would subscribe to the fund now being raised for the relief of the sufferers ; and that he was further instructed to state that the owners would give a free passage to any of the survivors who might be disposed to emigrate to Australia. Captain Noble, on cross-examination by Mr. Coffey, said he engaged the crew himself about a week before she sailed. The entire crew, with the ex ception of one mate, had been all strangers to him previous to the time at which he had engaged them, and they were all on board on Wednesday, the day before he sailed. The wages at which he nd engagedthe pas sengers' the cre w ranged from 3 /. 10 s. to 2 / , a month, a steward, the cooks, and the carpenter's mate were engaged at ls. a month. He made no experiment as to whether the vessel would answer her helm, nor in any other respect did he, or to his knowledge the owners, make any experiment or investigation into the sailing powers of the vessel. An examination of the compasses was made about a week or a fortnight before she sailed, and a trial of the helm was made by the pilot in the tide way, and she answered to the helm on that occasion, although the trial was not made for the special purpose of testing whether or not she would answer the helm ; the vessel was swung for the purpose of testing the compasses some time in November, and not after wards ; they were then found to be correct ; when he found himself at Lambay, he supposed that the com passes were in error, for helfound them in the course of the day to be about two points astray • he had three compasses, each of which varied from the other, where by he could not decide which was right, or which was wrong. Captain Noble having been examined at considerable length, the next witness was Murphy, the chief mate, at the conclusion of whoso evidence the inquiry was ad journed to Monday. The verdict of the jury will probably attribute the loss of the ship to the variation of the compasses, the testi mony of the captain and mate having removed appa rently any impression as to the inefficiency of the crew. THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL PACKET COMPANY'S new screw steamer, \Vye, 700 tons burden, and 18Q horse-power, went out on Saturday from Southampton on a trial trip. The Government surveyor and the Admiralty officers at the port were on board of her to witness and report her performance. After making four turns at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, she rounded her Majesty's ships Leopard, Juno, and Frolic, looked into Cowes harbour, and. then returned to the Southampton docks. Her speed reached 11.650, and averaged in four turns 11.383. The revolutions of her engine 39. The average pressure of steam from 12 to 13 lbs. She answered her helm beautifully, and averaged in turning three minutes in about three ; times her own length. Her depth of water was 12.11 aft and 10.10 forward. The Wye is the finest screw steamer the Royal Mail Company has built ; she is in. tended for intercolonial work, and it is expected she will leave England the latter end of next month, G~ ~ _..
