ARMY AND ORDNANCE EXPENDITURE, Yesterday were issued, in the form of a return to par liament from the Audit-office, two accounts of the re ceipts and expenditure for army commissariat, militia, and the ordnance services for the year ended 31st March, 1856. The aggregate amount of the ordinary grants for army, militia, and commissariat services in 1855 56 was 18,780,5321. ; the appropriation in aid, viz., the contri bution from the revenues of the Australian colonies in aid of military expenditure, was 37,9481. Is. 11d., making together 18,828,4801 8!. 11d. ; and the total ex penditure as shown by the account was 20,350,5801. lls. 11d. It appsars that while there was a saving of 961,797/. 17s. 4d. upon thirteen votes of the year, on eight other votes the expenditure exceeded the amount voted by 2,484,8911. Os. 41., and deducting 882,4981. 19 , . 61., the saving on embodied militia, which was not applied to cover the deficiency of other votes, the nett deficiency of the year was 2,405,5991. 2s. 61 This defi ciency was provided for by the transfer of a like sum from the special vote of 3,000,0001. granted by parlia ment, to meet any additional expenses arising out of the Russian war, leaving the 882,4981. 19s. 6J. unexpended . on the embodied militia to be surrendered to the eh cquer. The second account shows that the amount voted for the ordnance services was 9,990,165/., whereas the ex penditure amounted to 11,993.7841. 3s. 4J., leaving a deficiency of 2,003,619/. 3s. 4J. The sum of 2,019,037/. 12 10., was expended in eight votes beyond the amounts voted by parliament ; but upon two votes, viz., scientific branch and non-effective services, there was a saving of 15,418/. Bs. 9d., which reduced the actual de ficiency to 2,003,5191. 3s. 4d. This deficiency was made up by a transfer of a like sum from the 3,000,0011. Toted for the additional expenses of the Russian war. In reference to the above two accounts a correspon dence is appended to the first, between the Treasury, the Audit-office, and the War Department, as to the delay which had occurred in furnishing them. The War-office excused the delay on the ground that the Russian war had rendered it more than usually laborious and difficult to make up the returns from its various departments, and while accepting this excuse the Lords of the Trea sury express a hope that " Lord Panmure will take the necessary steps for expediting the completion of the ac counts so that they may be presented in future years on the Ist of March, or earlier, if passible."

Years ago people asked " Cui bone 1" when thou sands were expended on expeditions the only re turns of which were a handful of shells and a few casts of the deep sea lead ;—yet it is on the accu racy of these returns that the project is now being hazarded. The bottom of the sea has been care fully surveyed and mapped, with all its variety of mountain and prairie land, its telegraphic plateau and its deep hollows, where no lead has ever found IY)ltilh. The Sill, too, from the bottom has been brought up and analyz d, and has revealed many curious phenomena pertaining to these sunless depth-. The ocean bed of the North Atlantic is a curious study ; in some parts furrowed by currents, in others presenting batiks, the accumulations per haps of the debris of these ecoan rivers during' countless age +. To the west, the Gulf S ream pours along a bed from ono nide to a wile and a half in depth. To the east of this, and south of the Great Banks, is a basin, eight or ten degrees square, where the bottom attains a greater depression than ' perhaps the highest peaks of the Andes or Hima laya,—six miles of line hove failed to 'Teich the bottom ; but of this more presently. Taking a pro file of the Atlantic basin in our own latitude, we find a far greater depression than any mountain eleva tion ou our own continent. Four or five Alleghanies would have to be piled on each other, and ou them added Fremont's peak, before their point would show itself above the surface. Between the Azores and the mouth of the Tagus this decreases to about three miles. Further north there is au apparent decrease of depth, with increasing regularity of bottom, though it is problematical whether this is not owing to the greater accuracy with which these I- observations have been conduotedie_ This apparent, rise has been called-the " Telegraphic Plateau," or as articles emanating from the observatory would have it, "Maury's Plateau" (locus a non, dtc.) This appears to be the natural route for the Trans atlantic Telegraph. Other plans have been pro posed—one a northing circuit, between the several points of Scotland, Iceland, Greenland, and the Labrador coast, each span be ng some 500 miles, or to use one or two of the island groups of the At lantic. In the route selected we have many advan tages—convenient harbours at either terminus ; a depth of water at every point sufficient to place the wire beyond the reach of any surface causes, such as ice or the anchor of any ship, yet not at an im practicable depth, being at the shoalest several hundred feet, and in mid-Atlantic not materially over two miles. During a thousand miles of its course the gradual depression of the ocean bed does not exceed 500 fathoms. Ou either side lie Ireland and Newfoundland, the breastwork of either conti nent, approaching within 1700 miles, and forming the natural termini of its route. Trinity Bay is its western head, and Valentia Bay, on the south western pofnt of Ireland, its eastern. This, then, is the bed on which the telegraphic cable is to lie, an unbroken prairie land, extending from continent to continent. Let us now see the nature of this bed. Spec:mens of the bottom, when subjected to a powerful glass, exhibit delicate shells and infusoria, fragile as if carved in eggshell, yet as perfect in all their delicate formation as any of the more durable works of nature. The least attrition would crumble all this to powder. The inference is, that all agi tation of winds and currents is confined to the surface, and that at those sunless depths the great mass of water remains in almost a quiescent state, and that the telegraphic wire, if once laid in safety, would lie for ever beyond the reach of harm, sinking among and covered by these fleecy particles. A 1 this may be incorrect, but we have strong rea sons for the supposition. if so, can it ever be laid in safety? Some abortive efforts at deep-sea sound ings furnish curious data for our belief in its practi cability. Miles of a small is ou wire not thicker than a child's little finger were actually laid at the bot tom of the ocean, and recovered unbroken at a con siderably greater depth than any found on the pla teau. The exodus operandi of laying the cable was here performed with a wire of but a fractional part of the strength and fitness of that proposed. The wire laid by the British in the Black Sea was, how ever, not of greater size or strength than th;s. The experiment of laying the wire is performed in deep sea sounding whenever a wire is substituted for the ordinary sounding line. With the depth known, with the character of the bottom known, with a cable as plastic as rope, yet with a tenacity capable of sustaining four miles of its length in air, and al most any ex - ent in water, with four of the finest ships in the world for laying it, aided by the de irly bought experience gained in the submersion of half a dozen other lines, we have every reason for our belielf that the Atlantic Telegraph will be a success. Let us now see by whom, and in what manner, were these explorations made, and whether they are worthy of the confidence placed in their accuracy by the Telegraph Company. Lieut. Maury has up to this time enjoyed a mo nopoly of the reputation derivable from them, and his own name has been linked to the telegraphic plateau, the existence of which was first rendered probable, and afterwards certain, by the lebouis of other persons. This rather questionable reputation would now be left undisturbed did he not now essay to knock away the scaffolding by which he has risen, and to throw discredit on those very re searches the fruit of which he has so abundantly reaped. Lieutenant Maury has only been the medium by which the labours of other officers have been made public. The only explorations made by our own Government at all 'sealing on this field are those of Lieutenant Berryman in the Dolphin in 1853, and in the Arctic during the past.austssae) when sent out by the Navy Department to examine the telegraphic route. That the surveys of the Dolphin were as accurate as the imperfect appa ratus then in use would permit is admitted by Maury, who bestowed on them the highest praise. It only remains, then, to examine the returns of Use Arctic which have been questioned by him, boat officially in scientific lectures, and in the public press. Before doing th;s, the public must understand the several modes of making deep sea soundings, on the relative merits of which the whole question hinges. The old system is, with a small line marked at distances of 100 fathom, and with a weight of 30 or 50 pounds, the dep • h being told by the length of line run out. This is, of emirs°, the most natural apparatus that su g gests itself, and hasb een in use from the earliest ages. Experience has given directions for its use, avoiding some of the grosser causes of error from drifting and other causes. Yet its success in immense ocean depths is problematical, and a problem decided in the negative by very many of the first scientific authorities at home and abroad. In the mechanical improvements of the last half centui y substitutes for this simple but rather uncer • tain method began to be devised. It was proposed to ascertain the depth by the amount of pressure, or by explosions under water, with other equally impracticable plans. At last was neticed the perfect regularity of the movements of of a spirally-shaped wheel, on being drawn through the water. Expe riments proved that this reeularity, when unaffected by other causes, Could b ei e relied on with perfect accuracy, and that an arrangement of cog-wheels would register its ,revolutions with mathematical precision. Very soon it came in use as a ship's log. So perfect was their precision, that they were even introduced in scientific surveys. Base lines, where the nicest accuracy is required, were run with them, and we have tne highest authority of the Royal Navy for believing that they never failed. At this point it was proposed to apply them in a perpendi cular as well as in a horizontal motion through the water, Massey's apparatus premising to solve those problems of submarine geography left unsolved by the old method of obtaining depth with a simple line and sinker, and this more especially as some causes of error, considerable on the surface, disap pear in the still water below. After a more thorough trial of the old method than, perhaps, any officer in the service, Lieut. Berryman proposed to explore the Telegraphic Pla teau with the use of Massey's apparatus, in opposi tion to the opinion of Lieut. Maury, who, follow ing the traditions of the service, was attached to the old system of line and ball. Many tradi tions are stubborn things, and the new method has met, of course, with all that opposition un avoidable on the introduction of an improvement which, though known for years abroad, is a novelty among our own people. But, though its use was new, its principle was no novelty to Lieutenant Maury, who years ago was quite in love with the beautiful simplicity, and copied it as his own invention into a late edition of his Bailing Directions, with the assurance that it "works beau fully." This would not be referred to did not Maury's present attack on the soundings made with Massey's apparatus now make it necessary to quote him among the many authorities in its favour. The manner of obtaining depth from the Arctic was with the two methods used in conjunction,--to sound with a simple line and ball, giving an ap proximation to the depth, but trusting for the nicer shades of accuracy to the readings of ttaesey'a The first tube of this stupendous structure was laid on the piers on Wednesday, and will in a few months be raised to the required height. In the meantime a second tube will be got ready for plae ins, and the bridge be made complete. Its 'progress has already altered the appearance of Saltash more than anything that has occurred for many years. Saltash, situate on the Cornwall side a the Tamar, about 3 miles north of Davenport, has in lapse of time suffered the fate of mailer a more populous place, and had a decline and fall. Before Devon port. was, Saltash was a considerable town noted for its fisheries, its market, and its members of Parliament, but of late years the rising towns nearer the- mou . h of the river have supplanted its trade and its fishing, and reforms havelaken away its privilege of affording places to M.P.'s; but it still continued somewhat famous as the ruler of the liberties of the Tamar and as the recipient of tolls from all vessels coming within its bounds ; and it was still famous, too, forete rowing amazons, who. in contests with men, carried off prizes at many of the rowing regattas of Britain and the Continent. This fame, however, is fast passing away, as the introduction of steam-vessels to con vey passengers from the "ancient borough" to Davenport has rendered the plying of b)als a very uncertain and precarious livelihood, so that not only the women but the men have had to seek nth,- , Front the Homeward Mail front India and China.) employments.

In no event could the depth be greater than the azruount of line out, while owing to deflecting causes affecting the line alone, Ma , .sey's indicator might with perfect accu racy read considerably less. During the first half of the cruise care was taken to obtain the precise depth with the line, with the most gratifying agree ment of its returns with the readiness of the self registering sounding apparatus. As in every case, however, the readings of the latter were preferred, it was found convenient to throw out a supera bundance of line to assure the descent of the lead to the bottom • the amount of line out wts thus often in considerable excess of the re:iordei depth. Two sets of soundings were thus obtained ; ono with Maßiey's apparatus, and the other with the odd moth , xl of simple line and sinker. That the former is to bi preferred is argued by the fact that specimens from the bottom being obtained every time, the depth could not have been in excess of the length of line out, while it might, have bees as much less as the readings on Massey's apparatus, the sounding line being deflected from the perpendicular by driftage and currents, - and that these causes of error really exist is admittiAl by Maury in a dozen places. The imperfections of the system he advises arc pro digioug, and when overcome ar3 the exceptional cases ; not one-tenth of -the deep-sea s -, endings ob tained under it are considered reliable by Maury himself. At a depth of one mile or two miles, - with no currents or driftings, it may be trusted. These conditions were apparently perfectly obtained by Captain Plitt, of the Albany, in the Gulf of Mexico ; yet, sounding twice at the same point, the returns differed one-half. But these conditions arc hardly ever obtained. The ocean is full of currents, which will carry off the sounding line in immense .leops ; and in the immense ocean depths, where the shock of the sinker striking bottom cannot be zonveyel through two or three miles of line, it be ' comes almost impossible to arrive at an approxima tion of its true depth. Two boundiogs at the same spot will differ 50 and 100 per cent. It is tbis im potent manner of obtaining soundings that has fos tered the vulgar belief in the unfathomable depth of the sea. However great are these causes of error, they are not applicable to the little self-registering sounding apparatus used on board of the Arctic. It may have errors of its own : but it escapes these:; and on the precision of its returns will depend, in no small degree, the success of failure of the At lantic Telegraph. THE ROYAL ALBERT BRIDGE AT SALT el 51L and flags—this excellent arrangement obviating any of the old plan of shouting out the orders or sending missages. Each vessel stationed bore a distinguishing number. At a very early hour in the morning there were strong indic dions that the inhabitnnts of the three towns intended to make the occasion a grand and general ,hiliday. From about 10 o'clock in the .shoring till . three in the afternoon, six statners were constantly running from Devonport to Salt ash, without the least intermission, conveying to Saltash during the day nearly 10,000 persons. The railway also brought a large number of persons to the neighbourhood. At noon the greater number of the shops closed, and shortly after thousands ware seen wending their way to the point of at traction, where ultimately some persons estimated t at nearly 100,003 persons mast have assemb'ed. The Devonport Dockyard was closed at 12 o'clock, and most ef the officera and artisans were among the spectators. The townspeople of Saltash also, not to be be hind hand in expressing their joy and mirth on so festive an occasion for their interests, suspended flags in Various parts of the town, and the merry peal of the church bells enlivened the scene throughout the afternoon. A large number of yachts, vessels, and boats, many of them gaily de coratedwith flags, were also on the river, and every avadalde station on the surrounding hills was occupied by spectators. Several tents and marquees wore erected to afford accommodation to them. The weather was most genial, and the scene altogether presented such a lively coup d'ceil as is seldom witnessed in that vicinity. Along the Devon side, of the river were ranged a row of itinerant refreshment stalls and confectioners' stands ; a few shows were also present. The pub lic-houses, beershops, and tea-houses in the neigh bourhood were also densely crowded. Atie.s in the afternoon, the whole of the prepa rdtions having . been completed, the pontoons glided into the river. Just under the tube, in the centre of the roadway, a platform was erected, which was occupied by Mr. Brunel and part ofthe staff of his engineering department. There were about 500 men on board the vesesls and ashore employed in the operation, and kept busily at work, especially those on board No. 4, station vessel, whose assist ance was required for a longer period than the others. The arrangements were so admirably con ducted that not the least irregularity occurred, or the least noise or confusion prevailed. As the mt s sive structure moved round towards its destined po sition everybody gazed on it With admiration ; aud t he mechanical skill ana ingenuity of the engineer, Mr. Brunel, was the sole subject of conversation. About half-past 3 o'clock the western end of the tube was placed in its position, amidst the cheers of the thou sands of spectators that were present. The band of the Royal Marines- were placed on board asteamer, near the tube, and throughout the afternoon playel a variety of musical pieces, which greatly enlivened the proceedings. The tube and roadway chains, stn.:Us, &c., present a most unique appearance ; at once a memorial of engineering ingenuity, and the t iumph - of mechanical science, as applied to practi cal purposes of great difficulty. It is believed that several months will be occupied in raising this sec tion vertically to its permanent place on a line with the railway. From its present position it will be gradually raised, as circumstances will allow, by means of hydraulic presses. About 5 o'clock the band played the National Anthem, and the spectators began to disperse, the steamers being again crowded on their return passage. A large number of private and public carriages and equestrians were at the passage during the after noon, but we are happy to say that notwithstanding the numbers present awl the magnitude of the un dertaking, not the slightest accident occurred dur ing the day. wounded, and, allowing for deaths and nou-effec tives from disease, and for casualties in thi) throe subsequent softies, we can hardly estimate; ur en tire force before Delhi as much above 10,000 men. There are probably double this number of Sepo3s in Delhi, and in rear of our army there is a gi-ca% force of the enemy gathering. Computing the G walior Contingent at 10,000, and adding Holkar's contingent, the Bhurtapore leviep, and the muti neers from Neemuch, H nsi, and other i lac s, the reb2ls will have at laast 20,000 men to operate upon Agra and Meerut, and then to take up a position iu rear of our be;icging army at Delhi. It is right to look those facts in the face, and, in inqui.ing whether the 20,000 men now on the way from England can reconquer the revs lied prc vinces, we ought not so much to ask whethr th,y are sufficient, but whether it is possible in a , .y way to aid to them.

The A and B troops, together with the detachment of the mounted bri gade, were subsequently assembled in marching order on Woolwich Common, in presence of the General and his staff, and, baying been inspected, they were put through a series of minor drills under the command of Colonel Maude, C,B. The General afterwards addressed the men, and in furmed them that nothing could exceed the satisfac tion he felt of returning to Woolwich and inspecting the Royal Horse Artillery Brigade—ono of the finest and most soldierae corps in her Majesty's service, and he had no doubt they would continue to maintain that position. Captain Arthur 0. L.

The select committee of Woolwich Arsenal ac companied by some naval officers of experience and a number of the Royal Artillery g irrison, as sembled in the Plumstead-marshes yesterday, at 2 30 p.m., for the purpose of witnessing a final ex periment with Martin's shells. These shells were brought under the consideration of Government on the Ist of April, 1856, and have since und er" gone four experimental trials. Yesterdays' triA was conducted by the inventor himself, who is a manufacturing founder residing at Blaekwall. The shells employed on the different (Wagons have been of various dimensions so as to contain from 281 b. to 481 b. of fluid metal. The butt yesterdiy was the old 36-gun frigate, fitted out with upper and or7op deck, as used on the former tria's, which, having been renovated, and the upper deck covered and strengthened with the addition of a number of - l o oked really a ship at sea. The guts carriages, gun, a 61-pouuder of 8-inch calibre, fired five shots filled with the burning liquid at a distance of 900 yards from the objet, two of which penetrated the broadside facing gun. Tht.3 result was percep ible immediately after the first shot was fired, as s moke was observed issuing from the portholes on either side. The third shot fell slightly short of the mark, burst, and cast its deptructive contents with fearful effect on the ship, and the two other shots were embedded in the ground without strik ing the target. A powerful engine from the Royal Arsenal, already in attendance, was then ordered to pour a stream of water over the burning ship, but this appeared only to revive the flames, which burst forth with rabid fury, notwithstanding the heavy rain, which had completely saturated the timbers, and Ihich even then partially continued. After the utmost exertions on the part of the firemen to subdue the progress of the flames the pumps were ordered to be withdrawn, and the ship's timbeig were shortly reduced to a few blackened and char red planks.
