On Wednesday Sir CHARLES WOOD received a
deputation from the operatives of various towns in
Lancashire, presenting memorials, praying, among
other things, for the reduction of the duties levied
at the Indian ports on British manufactured
goods. His answer was that he could not spare
the money. What might be done in the course of
time he could not say ; the best should be done,
but at present the reduction could not be made.
Our readers know that very lately the Finance
Minister of India, appointed by Sir CHARLPS
Woon and by him maintained in office, announced
a large surplus. The existence of that surplus Sir
Csteaxas WOOD has since denied, and we cannot
pretend to decide between these high authorities.
But even if it should turn out to be true, that
the revenues of India will not equal the expenditure,
or that the duties imposed on British manufactured
goods imported into India cannot be remitted,
the question remains whether Sir CHARLES Woon
is not highly responsible for this result. Sir
CHARLES WOOD says that he cannot afford to part
with the duty. Let us ascertain whether he could
not reduce the public expenditure.lt is well known
that the largest item in the Indian expenditure is
that of the army. In 1860-61 it amounted
to 15,838,9801., in 1861-62 to 12,800,0001.,
and the estimate for next year is 12,200,0001.
The reduction is considerable, but is it enough t
Sir CHARLES WOOD told the House of Commons
the other night that the military establishment
was not in excess of what it ought to be, and that,
in fact, it had never been beyond
the proper amount But what does Mr.
Laura say t It is abundantly clear from
his statement that a very vigorous dispute
has been going on between the Home Government
and the Government in India on this subject. If
there had been no Indian Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, no public statement of accounts, and no
necessity for a surplus, it is clear that, although
we have a Secretary of State for India, the Indian
revenue would have been absorbed by the rapacity
of the Horse Guards. So long as the old Indian
Company remained, they were enabled in some
degreo to control the Horse Guards, and to prevent
them sending out more troops than were required.
But as soon as that comparatively independent
body was abolished, all check seems to have been
practically removed. The Switsakite of STATE
for INDIA—at least Sir CHARLES WOOD----SeeMS to
have become a virtual accomplice with the Horse
Guards. The COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF seems to
have been allowed to use India as a place in which
he conldhide any surplus troops. By sending them to
India they were not only put out of the way, but the

officers of the Staff were eirabledtodraw the um

pay attached to the Indian service without bur-
dening the home estimates. It is idle to deny the

and justice. It is well that those who trade upon
the follies and weaknesses of humanity
should be taught the lesson that unless
they can screw money out of their victims before
the supposed or actual services are rendered, the
law will yield them no aid to recover it after-
wards. Enamelling may not be destructive to
health or conducive to disease, as insinuated for
the defence in this case ; and may in reality be a
sanitary process tending to the revivification of
the diseased or decaying skin, as the plaintiff
described it ; but it was evident that its prepara-
tion and application was carried on in secret, that
the object of the lady's visits was concealed even
from all her servants save one, and that threats of
exposure of the affair were regarded as a means of
enforcing payment.
The lady, perhaps, might be justly ashamed
that when thousands around her were need-
ing the actual necessaries of life she should
have lavished, or intended to lavish, hundreds
upon mere personal outward adornment ; and if
the result of this action should tend to a more
sensible and humane use of her own and her
husband's wealth in this respect, the mortification
which she undoubtedly must now experience will
not have been in vain. For the baffled minister to
foolish vanity we feel little sympathy ; she and
those like her are the creatures of civilization
whose iisappearance few will be found to regret.

fact that the number of soldiers haa been in excess,
when Mr. LAima distinctly assert& that during
the year 1861 there were in India some 4,000
men in excess of the proper strength, costing some
180,0001. a year, and that although the establish-
ment was fixed as early as 1860, it was only the
other day that recruiting was suspended, after
the vigorous remonstrances of the Indian Govern-
ment. It is doubtful, notwithstanding the asser-
tion of Sir CHARLES Wool), whether the troops
are even now reduced to the proper number ; but
even if the reduction has taken place it is still
more doubtful how long it will be maintained. No
doubt Mr. Ulna is quite right to appeal to
the English public to support him against
Sir CHARLES Wool) and the Horse Guards. " I
" have no wish," he said, " to prolong contro-
" yen'', and although perfectly ready to prove and I
" justify every word I have said on the subject, I
" am ready, speaking for Indian finance, to let
" bygones be bygones. At the same time I am
" not sorry that public opinion in England has
" been directed to the subject, and that the
" Secretary of State can now reckon, as I be-
" here he can, on the support of influential !
teresta in resisting any attempts to revive the
" practice, so pleasing to an English Chancellor of
" the Exchequer and so displeasing to an Indian
" one, of keeping 10,000 or 15,000 additional
" soldiers in England at the expense of India"
It may be very well for Sir Cmtnura Wools to in-
sist that be cannot afford to take off the duties on
English manufactures; but if he expects to succeed
in this anomalous policy, be must oonvince the
public that he is not playing into the hand. of the
Horse Guards, by allowing them to maintain a
larger force, either in this country or in India,
than the public service really requires. It will
be the obvious duty of Sir Cesium Weep, when

A correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail
writes :—" A movement is on foot for promoting some
action of a concerted character by which the unabated con-
fidence of the conservative party in Mr. Disraeli's leadership
shall be show°. It would be premature to discuss the
shape which this expression of cordiality will assume, but
when carried out, as there seems little reason to doubt that
it will be on ► gratifying scale, it will afford the beet
answer to the rumours of dissension industriously circulated
by Palmerstonian coteries."
The Cork Examiner makes a bitter attack on Mr.
Justice Fitzgerald for his conduct at the special commission.
It says that at a special commission " every man arraigoed
pretty nearly as a matter of osrtainty strung up;" that
it is a sort of execution of justice red-handed—a process as
near lynching as is known to the form of our law ; that the
aspect of the commission was rendered more suspicious by
the selection of the senior judge ; that he delivered to the
grand jury an "inflammatory harm:lgoe," and made an earnest
appeal to them to support the whig government, which is no
reason that three persons should be hanged ; that be in-
voked an appeal, which is addressed to the Roman catholic
bishop', whom he is fond of rebuking; that this will "look
well io the English papers, and may possibly obtain for him
a compliment in the Times. That is something. But it
may do more ; it may cause people to mistake him for a
protestant." On the other band, the Morning News, the
Dublin ultramontane organ, speaks in terms of approval of
the judge and the law officers of the crown in connexion
with this commission, and rejoicing in the swift justice that
has overtaken the murderer of Mr. Fitzgerald.

Private letters froui Now Orleans of a late date,
received in Boston (says the New York Times), speak of the
scarcity of provisions there as really of the most alarming
character. ladies of Northern birth, of the highest re-
spectability, bad applied to the officers of General Butler
for supplies of food, stating that they were entirely
out of provisions and without the means to pur-
cha-e at the exorbitant rates demanded lay traders of
that city. The suffering of families heretofore in com-
fortable circumstances, during the reign of terror in that
city of over a year's duration, was of the most terrible
character, and from what is already known there is no
doubt many friends of the Union have paid the penalty of
their fealty to the national government with their lives,
while others have suffered imprisonment. The order of
General Butler in regard to the women of Now Orleans is
claimed by one writer, who hes good opportunities of
judging, to have been an absolute necessity. The miscon-
duct of many women was so gross as to be incapable of de-
scription in print. General Butler, at lest accounts, was
preparing to make a movement of an important character.
The New Zealand papers contain an advertisement
offering a reward of 1001. for the diacovery of the whereabout
of Viscount Guillemot", who is believed to be working at
ono of the gold diggings under an assumed name.
In 1848 the imports into the province of Otago,
New Zealand, amounted to 11,8691., end the imports were
nil. In 1861 the imports amounted to 858,7331., and the
exports to 644,4191.
A bill has been brought into the Victoria legisla-
ture for the preservation of imported birds and other
animals. One of the chines imposes a penalty of ten
shillings on anyone destroying a bird's egg, or for having
one in his possession.
