THE ARMY ESTIMATES.-(THIS DAY.)

The estimates for the army during the years
1864-5 show a decrease of 215,349/. The total
sum required is 14,844,888/. The decrease in the
clothing establishment and supplies amounts to
33,6911. There is a decrease in the charge for
barrack establishments and supplies of 24,472/. ;
and 16,000/. of this amount is said to be due to
"a more economical use of fuel and a reduc-
tion in the price of fuel." A slight dimi-
nution in the force, from 147,118 to 145,664 men,
causes a reduction under the head of pay of 31,0001:
But the largest item of decrease is 265,850/. in the
article of military stores. It is stated in explana-
tion that " the diminution arises partly from the
contracts for the supply of small arms having been
completed, partly from the termination of the con-
tract with the Elswick Ordnance Company, and
partly from the reserve proportion of camp equi-
page, &c., being nearly complete." An increase
of 33,0001., is partly "caused by the necessity for
, experiments in ordnance and projectiles of larger
natures." The only other important reductions
are of 60,071/. on works and buildings, and of
46,2761. due to the yeomanry cavalry not being
assembled for permanent duty curing the ensuing
year. These reductions, however, are Unfortu-
nately balanced by a very heavy increase caused by
the war in New Zealand. That island figures as
the most considerable cause in the heaviest items
of increase. The increase in the expense of com-
missariat supplies alone amounts to more than
200,000/. The same source of increase appears
under the head of medical stores and service to the
extent of more than 10,0001., and the working pay
for men in the field in New Zealand causes an in-
crease under the head of regimental pay. The im-
proved shooting of the army has caused an increase
of more than 1,0001. in the amount required for
good shooting pay, and the Volunteer corps have
proved so much more efficient than was anticipated
last year that there is an increase of 6,3761. under
the head of their capitation allowance.
The net decrease, as we have above stated, is
215,349/.

MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.

The concert of last night presented several
remarkable features, and was altogether very interesting.
Oise extraordinary feature was an entire novelty from the
pen of Mosart, whose works, it might be supposed, are so
well known, that to find anything new among them would
be impossible. The piece, nevertheless, which began the
canoed, was new to us, mad probably to the English public.
It was • " divertimento " in B fiat, for two violins, viola,
sad two horns, a compceition belonging to an early
period of his short career, and, though full of
beauties, in the antiquated form which prevailed at the
period when it was written. It is a series of no less than
six movements, each of them short and comparatively
slightly developed, bat forming in the aggregate a work of
considerable extent. There is an introductory allegro ; a
simple and beautiful 'andante with several variations full of
grace and fancy ; two minuets and trios ; another andante ;
and • rapid end spirited finale. This form resembles more
the guilts do pikes of the old masters than the
modern sonata ; but though the form is old,
the ideas are as fresh and charming as if the piece
had been recently written. The adagio, eepecially, is almost
solo for the leading violin ; it I. like an Italian song ; and
was sang so charmingly on his instrument by M. Vieultemps.
and so delicately accompanied, that it was redemanded with
one voice by the whole andisoce.
The singers were bliss Banks and Mr. Santley.

DRAMA.

PRLXCESS'S.

The departure of Mr. and Mr 4. Hermann
to fulfil their country engagements has compelled Mr.
George Vining to withdraw the successful Anglo-Spanish
play of Donna Diana, and last night its place was supplied
with • new comedy by Mr. Watts Phillips, called pa„rs
Return. This fresh effort of a deservedly populisr drama.
tit is thoroughly conventional in subject and treatment,
full of stage tricks, more or less clever and familiar, and
sustained by dialogue which overflows with flashy cynicism.
The moral of the piece as distinguished from the inevitable
" tag " is much the same as the moral of Sir E. Meer
Lytion's Monce—the characters, however, being drawn
from the aristocracy of trade.
The whole of the actors were summoned repeatedly before
the curtain, and Mr. Watts Phillips was honoured with a
call at the end of the comedy.

TRANSPORTATION or POLISH WOMEN AND
CHILDREN TO Sumner.—The Cologne Gamete says :—" It
has beak ofileielly contradicted by the Remian orpas and
telegrams to some foreign papers, that any Mmes or
children have been transported from Poland to Siberia.
The ligth number of the Wilna Courier, however, dated
28th December (gth January) last, publishes as advertise-
ment from the Witha government, inviting tendon for
• clothes and shoes for the use of priamen to be transported
from Wiles.' " (Them articles are required for men, for
women, and " for little children up to 12 plan of age,"
and they are to he the same as used by convicts.) " These
conditions," says the Cologne Gezetle, after citing them,
" are temporarily laid down until it is decided whether the
convicts shall proceed on foot, by water, or in carriages.
There can be no doubt of the authenticity of this document,
seeing that it is published is flowerier' own aloha orpa.
This advertisement does not give any elm to the number of
persons transported, as it is probably only for the purpose
of completing the store of clothing already permed by the
government. The oomperatively large amount of clothing
for children is expiator:id by the fact that the Russians
prefer to send very young children out of Poland into the
interior of Reath, as such me more 'Gaily made Bassians
in manner and religion."
A letter from Cairo to the Oseerectfore Triestine
says :—" A eenelderable fire has lost takes plain here fn
the palms belonging to the children of the late Ahmed.
' Pasha Jams, formerly governor of Calm. The building
was situated between the street Std-el-Selsh and the pekoe
Bl.llamy.Pseba. The fire commenced on the upper door,
and was not observed until it had begun to mach the lower
part of the palace, occupied by the harems of ]gasser..
Pasha and his brothers. The women had only time to
escape half•undressed, abandoning their jewels, remeneets,
and furniture, all of whisk soon fell a prey to the flames.
The damage has sot yet been estimated, but it mud be very
considerable."

CRYSTAL PALACE BIRD SHOW.

Of the away items in the catalogue of encomia
which have marked, and continue to mark, the progress of
the Crystal Palace, the ornithological displays are smoept
the most interesting and popular. Sash paladin= el t►e
feathered tribes as are axe or twice a year brought together
at the Palace bird shows are to be found nowhere else.
The reason probably is that there is ao other place which
offers anything like the same exhibitiosary edualsges emu-
bawl with equal facilities of weer and easy eituditiou at
eetry. The bird show which epees to-day, sad, as will be
seen by oar advertising oolumna,is to last through the gusher
part of the week, is inferior to none of He peedeorears.
Probably on no previous occasion have there been le many
varieties and such apleedid specimens of the crusty tribe as
appear in this exhibition. In the indigenous rug birds of
Britain, too, the show is angularly rich, all the babes,
thrushes, sad larks being well represented, while thus
whose tastes lire rather to beautiful form sad ger.
geous plumage, than to the " music of the groves," will

PARIS, WIDNVIDAY Emilia°.

This has been a day of canards. The Bourse
was kept in a state of continual excitement by re-
pqrts of the abdication of the Queen of England,
of the departure of English troops for Denmark
(the numbers of the regiments being given), of the
teeignation of the Palmerston cabinet, and of a re-
volution at Copenhagen. All these rumours are
recorded in print by the evening papers. The
Route and other securities experienced violent
fluctuations. At one period of the day there was
a panic, during which Mobilier fell, almost with-
out an intermediate quotation, from 1,026 fr. to
1,005 fr. ; and Rents, from 66fr. Mc., to
66fr. 300. When, however, it was found that
Consols had not varied, and that the Vienna
Bourse was firm, the scared speculators began to
buy in, but the sensitive state of the market begets
extreme caution on the part of very many. The
closing quotations were comparatively firm. Rents
left off at yesterday's price, 66fr. 36c., and Mobilier
rose 6fr. 25c. Railways are generally higher ;
Southern finally rose 16fr.
M. d'Arnoult, the Patrie's correspondent, welting
from Kiel on Feb. 7, inclines to the opinion that
General de Mesa must have evacuated the Donne-
werke from political and not strategetical reasons.
He thinks the passage of the Schlei by the Prussian
army might easily have been prevented, and
that even after that the Danes might have
offered a formidable resistance. He easel that
when he visited the Dannewerke a few days ago,
he counted upon it from 300 to 350 guns, and
infers that) as the Austrians and Prussians only
found 60 of these left, the others must have been
deliberately taken away, at least three days before
the passage of the Schlei. He further states that
when the news of the fall of Sleswig arrived at
Kiel there was a general illumination, but upon
reflection many of the inhabitants suspecting
itreason on the part of Prussia, i.e. that she is
working for her own account, and not on behalf
of Germany, put out their lights and took down
their pennons.
The Pays speaks of a despatch, to which it seems
to attach credit, stating that an armistice between
Denmark and the two great German powers, with
a view to arbitration or mediation, has either been
concluded, or is in course of negotiation. I as
very positively assured, however, that these is no
truth in this news.

A commercial treaty between France and Sweden
is said to be on the tapir ; a Swedish commissioner
is expected in Paris to expedite the affair.
A despateh states that the "reigning" Princess
of Monaco died this (Wednesday) morning at the
Monaco Palace.

WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

Tacranay, 'maim 11. S A.m.
London, England, 1864-02-11

Alderman &DIRT, H.P., said he should like to ask •
questioo, which he considered of some imp stunt. It was
their duty as magistrates of the (Sty of London and 'dating
*Hoes of the gaol of Newpte, to receive a report front
the sheriffs of the state and condition of that poi, and he
thesrved that the ono which bad just been promoted
Se the court contained the very dreadful statement
that so lets than seem primes were at the present time
that prime under sauternes of death. The point upon
width he wished to be informed was, whether the sheriffs,
whim palatal duty it was to earry oat the sentence of the
kw, had made any communication to the government with
a view to ascertain whether it was hounded that the men-
leave of death should be carried out is the heart of London,
sad whether it would not be onsidend advisable that the
amtenoe should be executed at some other place. He did
is partly is compose* of a renicostrthee that he i bees
made to him by a &amber of the inhabitants of the neigh-
bearhood who were painfully sensible of the dreadful 110111101
that took place even ape& the occasion of a single execution,
ad who expressed their opinion that the execution of seven
men at one time, in stab • place se the Old Bailey, was cal-
iodated to prodeoe a scene of the mat fearful character,
and that the f alley of society generally would be out-
raged by as execution of such a description taking place in
the City of Landes. They were also of opinion, and he
etheurred with them, that the Warman' multitude of per-
uses that would he collected, a great many of whom would,
'undoubtedly, be the very scum of society, might be produe-
tive of some serious outrages and crimes, and he wished to
bow whether the, was any precedent for the execution
et pirates, as them men were, in the City of Leaden. He
lad always understood that it was the practice to
mecum such persons et the river shore, or at one of the
comport towns, sad he was desirous of being informed whe-
ther the sheriffs bad takes any steps to save the citizens of
leedon from sash a dreadful exhibition, and whether they
bad made any onnianairataon to the Home Secretary upon
the subject! (Hear, beer.)
Hr. Sheriff Masan said that he had to state that he and
colleague bad that day addressed a communication to
Or G. Grey upon the subject referred to by the worthy
alderman, asking whether he did not topsider it advisable
that the sentence should be carried out upon these
pristhers is some other place than the City of
Hear, hear.) They bad also called his
setsinuos to some observations that had been made by
fir G. Bowyer in the Homo of Commons upon the subject,
and asking the Sonthary of State to communicate with the
bee officers of the morn with a view In 1•011111.10 whether
W sentence in,gbt sot, legally, be carried out at some
ether place, in order that the metropolis might be spared
the dreadful arenas that must inevitably take place d the
amateurs of death is carried out at the Old Bailey.
The subset thee dropped, and the court shortly after-
wards adjourned.

Gavin v.ILLATL.4.-1..4721111Ert10N OF A wATIIR

Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., said that the plaintiff wits Lewitt t
Lord Mountedgcumbe of some clay avarice, where ci_irr,
we, manufactured, in Cornwall. His tenancy bad laete I
from 1836, and during all this time he had uninterrupted
possession of two artificial streams culled the it. r I
the clear-water stream. The defendant was the rrcul .er tif
an adjoining estate, and the action was brought upon ti
ground that be had interrupted these carter-courae... At
the trial before Mr. Chambers, in Cornwall. the jury I twd
for the plaintiff as to the clear-water stream, and I. r the
defendant as to the other. The ground for the latter Dart
of the finding was that two witneases,
Gooch, stated that 34 years ago their father granted
to Hooper, the then tenant of the plaintiff's wort., per-
mission to take the water for the fia.:•eater
stream from the natural river, upon condition that
be shonld pay the yearly nominal rent of a
furze prickle. This took place in the presence
the landholders interested, but every person preseni. woe
now dead except the two Geachea, and there was on
writing in existence. The present motion was to rotor a
verdict for the plaintiff as to the freshwater stream, upon
the ground that the letting alleged to have been grunted by
leach to Hooper could have no force to destroy the right
which the plaintiff had soquired by more than '2l, years
uninterrupted possession. It was also submitted th it the
judge had not properly directed the jury.
Rule granted.
It was intimated that a cross rule would be made by the
other side.

BOURYR C, TOSBROOKE.-TROVER ►OR TRINkET

The plaintiff in this case was niece to • woman Rho bad
been for many years sernot to the defeodant's brother.
In 1853 she went to visit her aunt, and Mr. Foal:quake be.
came attached to her, took charge of her education,
and, when away from the school, she from that tin.e
treated his house as her home. In 1863 her mist
died, and soon after that Mr. Fosbrooke himself died, sad
the defendant became his personal representative. The
plaintiff claimed • watch, some trinkets', wearing appine:.
Ise., upon the ground that they bad been given to her by
her aunt . • and the jury found that they had been so given.
It turned out, however, that the aunt had been married
when • young woman, but her husband deserted
her a month after marriage, and no one beard of
barn again until after her death. The plaiotuf nor
sought to remover the thinp given to her be
her aunt, but at the trial at Leicester Mr. Baron Chappell
ruled that as Me aunt was a married woman, she had oo
right to give the things to her niece, because they were the
property of her husband, Rod that the defendant mister k-t
up the husband's right in answer to this action. Thereupon
• verdict was entered for the defendant, but the present
motion was to enter a verdict fur the plaintiff for the value
of the good., 25/. . . . . . .

Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., in moving, submitted that the plain.
tiff wu lawful pouessor of the property, whilst the deism.
dant was • mere wrongdoer, and therefore could not set up
the right of the husband In answer to this actiou. He also
submitted that these things were part of the paraphernalia of

pleased.

broker. the present netion was to recover beck these goods ;
and at the trial before Mr. Baron Pigott, at Liverpool, the
verdict was for the plaintiff for AM., upon the ground that the
goods pledged were not liable to he taken in rxecution. The
present application, however, war for a rule to eider •
nonsuit, it being contended that goods pledged were not
