THE WAR.
The Nil steamer, with the Constantinople mail of
the 20th, and several days later news from the
Crimea, was due at Marseilles on Wednesday, but
did not arrive. A despat.th sent there on Thursday
night states that the vessel had been forced to put
into Antibes. A Queen's messenger, bearing
despatches, came by her, and has since arrived in
London. These advices are believed to bring intel-
ligence from the army some days subsequently to
the 14th.
Advices from Bucharest account for the inactivity
of the Turkish troops under Omer l'acha by the
want of winter clothing, tents, amt even provisions.
Vienna letters state that winter has set in with con-
siderable severity in southern Russia, and the troops
are marching to their places of destination in the
midst of ice. The couriers, who only took five days to
go from Sebastopol to Moscow, are now so much de-
layed that it is probable that intelligence will arrive
more rapidly by the Levant than by St. Petersburg.
General Osten Sacken is to replace General Dan-
nenberg in the Crimea, with the most extensive
powers. The reason assigned for this change is,
that General Dannenberg, in the affair of the sth,
did not completely execute the orders which he had
received.

Berlin advices state that the fresh additional
article agreed upon by Austria and Prussia on the
28th contains the adoption of the four points, and
undertakes to procure their acceptance. Prussia

WASTE OF THE PUBLIC MONEY IN

INDIA.
AT a time when our armies—officered by the
scions of the noblest houses in England, and
accompanied by Princes of the Royal blood of
England and the Imperial blood of France—
are undergoing unheard-of privations in their
country's cause, lying for weeks unsheltered
from the inclemency of the weather, and con
tent to live upon the soldier's humble fare ; at
a time when every household in England is
also, if not equally, bearing its share of priva-
tion in order to lend suecour to the wives and
children of our killed and wounded, or to fur-
nish to the revenue the means of carrying on
the war—it is not without feelings of strung
indignation that we read in a late Indian
newspaper of the reckless waste of the
public income in India by a newly-appointed
Satrap, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal.
The cousin of the British Sovereign is content
to rough it in the Crimea as he can, while a
train of seventy elephants—equal to five hun-
dred and sixty baggage mules—are furnished
at the public expense to carry the baggage of
this mushroom public functionary in Bengal.
It is thus that the public income of India is
wasted in furnishing gratification to the up-
start pride, the senseless taste for pomp, and
the effeminate indolence of our civil service in
the East. The children, for the most part, of
hardworking fathers engaged in commerce or
trade, these men claim for themselves, when
transferred to India, a retinue more extrava-
gant than in Europe is accorded to the occu-
pants of a throne ; and to gratify this passion
the public money is squandered, and the
most necessary public improvements are post-
poned. The money thrown away annually
on processions through the country by the
public functionaries in India would, if devoted
to the proper purposes of Government, go far
to relieve the Company from the stigma of
neglect of its proper duties to which it is now
so justly amenable. But NERO fiddled while
Rome was burning, and costly pageants and
City feasts are still provided for out of the
Indian public income, while, by the Indian
Minister's confession, the revenue of our
empire there is considerably below our ex-
penditure.

COST OF STEAM TRANSPORTS.

Sir,—To judge from the acknowledged statement
of one of the large steam companies of this country,
the Government must be carrying on the transport
service at an enormous, and, in my opinion, a most
unjustifiable, cost. The General Screw Steam Com-
pany informed their shareholders the other day that
their profit from the Government alone, for five
months, was 100,0001., or at the rate of more than
200,0001. per annum. Besides this company, there
are employed in the transport service the steamers of
three other companies, viz., the Cunard Company,
the Royal Mail Company, and the Peninsular and
Oriental Company. As the vessels belonging to these
companies are as numerous, if not more, than those
of the General Screw Company, and quite as
large, it is not too much to suppose, at a very
moderate calculation, that their profits are as consi-
derable ; and, if we assume that they are, we shall
find that the profit to these four companies alone is
nearly one million per annum. If the Government
pay them this hrge sum over and above the actual
working expenses, the cost to the nation of the
steamers employed must he enormous, and if the
sailing vessels employed as transports are paid for in
a like proportion, you can easily see at what an ex-
travagant rate we are paying for the means of trans-
port.
I am not one who in the slightest degree would grudge
the expense necessary to carry on the war—the Go-
vernment may demand, and they will readily obtain,
any amount of money to assist our brave troops in
the East and to humble the pride of the Czar; but I
am one who has witnessed with disapprobation the
parsimony of the Government in some instances and
its lavish expenditure in others, and more particularly
in this case of the transport service. Of course it will
be urged that these large companies will not withdraw
their steamers from their regular traffic unless they
are well paid : that I at once grant, but there is, in
my opinion, a wide difference between paying them
handsomely and paying them exorbitantly ; and bad
the Government employed a person conversant with
this kind of business they would have saved the na-
tion a very large sum, probably not less than a mil-
lion per annum.
Among other matters of much more importance,
which, I trust, at the meeting of Parliament, the Go-
vernment will be called upon to explain, I hope even
this one of reckless mismanagement will not be over-
looked.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

THE COALITION LIBRARY.

AMONGST the other bequests which the munificent Coalition intends to
leave, on its resignation, to the country, is a select library, to which
every Ministerialist will contribute. We may safely name the sub-
joined volumes as already secured or in preparation.
The Earl of Aberdeen will present a cookery-book, showing the
best method of eating words, cooking despatches, roasting an Emperor,
dishing the country, and serving parliamentary messes. It will also
contain improved receipts for humble-pie and Irish-stews, with digres-
sions on the subject of hot water, and the best way of putting your
foot into it. This volume will be very handsomely bound in Russia.
The Duke of Argyll, by way of seasoning the Premier's receipts,
will give his valuable letters to the Peers on red pepper, and a copy of
" Cayenne examined."
Lord Palmerston has some thoughts of giving the " Handbook to
Turning in all its Branches, with Numerous Cuts of Former Partisans."
Sir George Grey presents " The Turf, in its Relation to the
Colonies ;" and the Duke of Newcastle follows up the subject by a
pamphlet on "Bribery not Inconsistent with Office."
Lord John Russell's donation consists in the very highly-prized
" Essays by a Gentleman who Won't Leave his Lodgings when his
Landlady gives him Warning."
Sir James Graham, as First Lord of the Admiralty, presents " A
Landsman's Thoughts on Tacking and Veering ; also on Leaving the
Ship when there is any Chance of its Going Down."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer will present the edition of
arithmetic, Euclid. logic, and algebra in use at Maynooth, with special
invocations of Saint Division, and the ever glorious and blessed Rule
of Three.
Sir William Molesworth contributes an old number of the West-
minster Review, containing one article subversive of all Govern-
ments, and another upholding the Coalition, on the ground that it is
no Government at all.
Sir Charles Wood cannot decide
re he shall gi having toßes
resign
ides,"
as he sagaciously remarks, " we are nat ot so sure of
just yet!" A sentiment received with due applause by his colleagues.
Macaulay gives his "History of England from the Reign of James
the Second," as it might have been in the absence of malevolent Tories
and even more malevolent facts.
Mr. Sidney Herbert will present a book on "Russia theck volume, True Seat
of Liberty, Liberalism, and Happy Despotism ; " thi
bound in calf.
To conclude, Mr. Lowe will send a copy of Australian
Fleece, Preserved and Practised in England. The library will, no
Crystal Palace, antL.a guide-book to it be
doubt, be placed in the Cry
written by Mr. Samuel Phillips.

peasantry to the sufferers seems to have been
shameful, and may, perhaps, be accepted as
presumptive proof of a conspiracy of several
among them. But on this point we must re-
serve our opinion, as the case is under legal in-
vestigation, and we can only fervently hope that
the vile perpetrators of a crime so infamously
inhuman will before long receive condign
punishment for their abominable wickedness.

SHARES.

Railway shares have partaken of the general
heaviness. Almost the only improvement has been
in the North-Western ; the rest, almost without ex-
ception, are stationary, or a shade lower. It seems
difficult to account for this depression, in the face of
the rise in Consols, except from the outstanding
speculators for a rise in the market.

have served either ten or fifteen years, and have been sent
home on long or short furlough).
"Neither the calling out of the first and second classes
(of reserves), or of men dismissed after serving their full
time, nor the four levies within two years of ten men
in lien of the ordinary five or seven per one 'housand souls,
have sufficed to fill up the enormous wear and tear of lives
caused to Russia by the exercise of her protectorate rights.
The owners of serfs are the greatest sufferers (three•fourths
of the recruits beingol this class). They lose an immense
capital, and so does the State. Supposing that each levy
produces 200,000 recruits ( that is, for both circles), and
valuing each serf at an average of 500 silver roubles—this
gives the immense sum of one hundred millions of roubles
in silver; and if this be multiplied four times (for the four
levies within two years), the gross amount will be four
hundred millions ; to which must be added upwards of ten
silver roubles, paid by those furnishing recruits, for the
equipment of each man.
" This vast sum is but a fraction of the losses to the
country occasioned by the holy attempt to place the Porte's
subjects of the Greek faith under the exclusive protection
of Russia. Most welcome, therefore, are the contributions
which the Minister of Finance receives now and then from
different classes of the people, and which are notified in
published tables. Three of these donations of 5,400, 3,975,
and 4,000 silver roubles, contributed by the Department
of Domains, have just been made known."
Swedish journals state that the value of the cannon
and stores taken at Bomarsund amounts to about
100,0001.; that of the fortifications destroyed there,
and at Hango-Udd, must be estimated at several
millions of roubles.
The Russian Government has engaged three em-
ployes of the Brunswick telegraphic department for a
term of six years, to assist in establishing telegraphic
lines in Russia. It is added that the central office of
all lines in use, and projected, meets in an apartment
immediately under the Emperor's working cabinet in
the winter palace. All despatches are first and forth-
with laid before his Majesty before they are trans.
mitted to their destination, official or private ; those
of the diplomatic corps, in cipher, are copied and
handed over to the deciphering-office.
Accounts from Petersburg, dated the 14th, state
that the whole second division of the Guards, the
second brigade of artillery of the Guards, and the
Hussar regiment of the Guard has been inspected by
the Emperor, and marched to share in the campaign
of the south.

of twenty feet between the oars of each boat. Upon
the signal being given from the Agartemtunt, the
whole line will row stoutly and steadily towards the
shore, the men 114 pprfect stillupss and silence, un
boat being allowed to advance before or to fall behind
the others. Such a line, from the enormous multi-
tude of boats engaged, must extend to between two
and three miles in length, irrespective of the French
forces, which are not referred to in these instructions;
the landing must therefore be intended to take place
on a lengthened expanse of the coast. The light
division of the British army and the 'artillery, con-
veyed in six of the British transports, will be the first
to land, and four companies of the second battalion
of the Rifle Brigade will be attached to each brigade
of General Brown's division, and will form the ad-
vance. Upon these gallant fellows, therefore, will
devolve the glory of first setting foot on the Crimea,
and of opening their fire upon the enemy. The
larger boats will all be provided with grapnels and small
anchors, and the oars will be slung so as to be
dropped over the side on reaching land. Upon land
lug, each regiment will form in continuous columns
at quarter distance, and the batteries will in every
case land with the divisions to which they are at•
tached, as well as the proper detachment of Sappers.
with their tools to throw hp field intrenchments, if
required, with the utmost rapidity. The other divi-
sions of the army will follow in their order, the boats
returning to the ships to take them, but the cavalry will
not laud until specially ordered to do so. The artil-
lery will be landed on "flats," es they are termed,
consisting of pairs of boats with portable decks fitted
to convey guns and horses, which only require to be
put together by a party of shipwrights when the time
comes for using them ; these flats will then be towed
in by steamers, and each of them will be attended by
two pinnaces from the fleet, and, if possible, a cutter,
for the purpose of assisting them, if requisite.

DENMARK.

On the 26th of July the King of Denmark signed I
the law regulating the constitution of the Danish
monarchy, as regarding the public affairs common
to the whole empire. The following are the most
important regulations :—The King has the supreme
power in all common affairs of the realm, under such
restrictions as are regulated by the present law. For
these common affairs the Council of the Realm is
instituted. This council is at present composed of
twenty members, all chosen by the King—viz., twelve
for Denmark, three for Schleswig, four for Holstein,
and one for Lauenberg. For the future the numbers
are to he fifty—twenty chosen by the King ; of the
other thirty the Danish Diet has to elect eighteen ;
the Estates of Schleswig, five ; those of Holstein, six ;
those of Lauenberg, one; these elections to be regu-
lated by separate laws. The Council of the Realm
is to meet on the Ist of September this year, and
henceforth at least every second year ; the debates are
not public, but reports will be published in German
and Danish. No taxes common for the whole
monarchy can be imposed, altered, or taken off, nor
new loans contracted, without the consent of this
council. In regard to other common affairs it has
only a consultative voice. The common budget, with
the public accounts, is to be laid before it before ob-
taining the sanction of the King.
The report of the Royal Danish Railway was
adopted at a meeting at Flensburg on the 14th inst.
The completion of the important section connecting
thr Baltic and the North Sea was announced, and it
was stated that the entire line, including the Rends-
burg branch, which forms the junction with the
Kiel and Altona and other lines, will be open early in
October, the whole undertaking being thus brought
into activity at a much earlier date than had been
anticipated. A lease of the line to the contractors,
Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Betts, for fourteen years,
at a minimum dividend of six per cent. on the
capital of 540,0001. (secured by a deposit of 100,0001.),
with an equal division of all surplus profits, and a
reserved power to the company to terminate the
agreement in five or ten years, was also submitted
and agreed to.
SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
- -

Within the la.st few days some more very decided
warlike steps have been taken by the Swedish Go-
vernment. The commanding officer of the Gotha
regiment of artillery has received orders to place the
same on the war footing, and Major Landgreen, of
the Engineers, has been appointed commandant of
the fortress of Carlsten, which has undergone a close
military inspection, and been ordered to be imme-
diately put in a fit state to stand a siege. Besides
this, orders have been given for immediately fitting
out six divisions of gun-boats, three divisions of gun-
sloops, and two divisions of bomb-ketches. The

AN Orr. AND CoLouß WAREHOUSE belonging to
Mr. William Knighton, at No. 7, White Conduit-
terrace, White Conduit-fields, was almost totally de-
stroyed by a fire which broke out at an early hour
on Monday morning. Twelve inmates were on the
premises at the time, all of whom were asleep when
roused by a policeman with the alarm of fire, and
several of them escaped with great difficulty. Two
adjacent houses were much damaged by the confla-
gration.
A BRIG named the William Woolley was totally
destroyed by fire in Sydney harbour, 9th May.
ON Saturday last, at Keswick, the Rev. Edward
Wilson committed suicide in an outhouse adjoining
his dwelling, by cutting his throat with a razor during
temporary derangement. The deceased was incum-
bent of St. John's in-the-Vale for the long period of
forty eight years, and was held in great esteem and
respect.
AN INQUEST was held on Saturday last touching
the death of Mr. George Jones, aged thirty-one, a
medical gentleman, residing in Edward-terrace, Pen-
tonville, who put an end to his existence on the pre-
vious Thursday, by drinking a large quantity of
h!drocyanic acid. It appeared from the evidence
that deceased had laboured under great mental de-
rangement for some 'time before, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of "Temporary insanity."
A PROTRACTED INQUIRY has been proceeding
during the present and previous week before Mr. Baker,
the coroner for East Middlesex, regarding the death
of a child named Richardson, who died in the Royal
Free Hospital after a severe surgical operation. The
evidence given at the inquest extended over ten
days, and involved a great mass of extraneous de-
