LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 6.

The first demand for money on account of the
Chins war may now be daily expected. A parlia-
mentary paper, issued yesterday, informs us of its
amonnt-3,356,1041. for n►val and military ex-
penses—to which add a repayment of 443,8981.
to the government of India for advances on account
of former expeditions, making together3,Boo,oool.,
or in round numbers Four Millions. A few years
ago this would have seemed a large sum. In
18484848 it would have been equal to one-fourth
of our war expenditure. But our ideas have been
considerably enlarged since then. Instead of a
fourth, it is a seventh of what we expend on our
army and navy, to say nothing about fancy votes
for fortifications. Four millions, as Mr. Duman'
might say (if this war were his), is a " flea bite."
What is it by the aide of last year's taxes,
71,416,587/.1 A people which is content thus to
pay for the blessings of government in time of
peace more taxes than it ever paid in time
of war, will surely not haggle about an ex-
penditure which, at the worst, may be defrayed by
an income•tax of 4d. in the pound. But if there
are ill-conditioned persons who do not understand

their epoch—men who imagine that economy
is still a statesmanlike quality, and insist on
reducing questions of policy to a base arithmetical
level—let us hope that they will not be found
among those who have demanded and fostered this
war, who have expressed alarm lest it should
he averted, and even now are troubled by appre-
hensions that it may lead to too little devastation
and bloodshed. It would disturb the gravity if
not the patience of the public to see the familiar
public swaggerer of the last six months giving
himself the airs of a cit pottering over accounts,
and affecting to groan over the outlay which is
vouchsafed to his wishes. It is too late to simulate
a penny. wisdom. If it was worth while to invoke
the pnde of race, the cupidity of the mercan-
tile classes, and a horde of hateful plosions, to pre-
cipitate this war, it is worth while to go through
with it without maundering about the " hard-
" earned millions" it will cost.

This war arises out of the Treaty. There is
nothing like a war to give importance to a treaty
of commerce. Since Lord &rite was last at Tien-
tain we have concluded another commercial Treaty
with a nation nearer home. The signature of
that Treaty was not preceded by any great mi-
litary demonstration. ft was • spontaneous agree-
ment founded in the mutual and common in-
terests of the contracting parties ; and, having •
natural origin, it is likely to last. Already it is
bearing rich fruits. t)n its suocess the Emperor
of the Fassen has staked three millions of revenue,
the sum of taxes repealed, persuaded that the
increased trade under the new tariff will re-
compense him. It is within our knowledge
that, in elaborating the executory clauses
of the Treaty, the French Government
gives proof of a strong desire to cultivate trade
with this country, and we believe that, when the
tariff now in course of construction appears, it
will be found that the French Customs Duties range
nearer 10 per cent. than the 30 per cent. which
was the stipulated maximum. There is every
reason to believe that with • continuance of peace
the Treaty will give results far greater than was
expected even in the excitement of its first an-

nouncement. Yet this safe and beneficent arrange-
ment, full of material and moral advantages to both
countries, is continually disparaged and attacked,
while we are urged to throw away millions in
forcing our undesired acquaintance on a remote
and unintelligible people. We all know how the
Treaty of Tien-twin was obtained. We held a
pistol at the ear of the other high contracting
party, and in that attitude we presented him with
a document granting us concessions which our
Ambassador described as " amounting to a revo-
" lotion, and involving the surrender of some of
" the most cherished principles of the traditional
" policy of the Chinese Empire." Of course the
Treaty was signed, and of coarse from that
moment the Chinese Government, by every
rule of international law, became responsible
to us for its faithful execution. Our
claim on the Emperor of CHINA is as good in law
as if he hail wandered through the East to find
Lord Ei.cis, instead of being summoned by the
Ambassador in one of his own cities. All this
may be readily allowed, if it is thought to be of
the least consequence ; but when all this has
been said, let us not suppose we have changed
the fundamental laws of human nature. " They
" have been extorted from its fears," wrote
Lord KUHN when he sent home the provisions'
of the Treaty. Those words fixed the character of
the instrument. Fear may be a sufficient motive
for the fulfilment of some engagements, those
which may be discharged by the payment of
money, the surrender of territory, or any definite
effort extending over a short period. But it is
the worst conceivable basis of a complicated
treaty of commerce, making perpetual demands on
the friendly feelings of those upon whom its
fulfilment depends. The Treaty may be said
to have had from the first the sentence

at death in itself. Its ninth article, Qonoading '
the right of British subjects to travel to all imrts
of the interior of the Empire, would %erre' been
most useful if the weak Chinese Goveretbent eould
have shaken off the ism with which it ease the
I proud Western stranger approach its people. War
increases instead of destroying this fear, except
when the feeling and the government are de-
stroyed together.

What is it we want in China i Not one more
appointment for the diplomatic service. Not the
devil worship which Orientals pay to devastators.
We want trade, that first, and that last. And
before a blows struck we have it. It is
confessed that, according to all accounts, Canton
is very happy, Shanghai increases in oommer-
cial movement every quarter, the teas come
down to Foochow. There is no massacre at
Amoy, or difficulty at Ningpo. Tea and silk are
coming out, and opium and cotton goods are going
in. Theu what more shall we get by going to
Pekin I

Ova first attempt at a " Tir National " pre-
sents many points for congratulation. The suc-
cess of the undertaking, designed and managed as
it is by private gentlemen, has hitherto been so
complete, and comes so closely upon the equally
remarkable display of the Volunteer Army in
Hyde-park, that we hesitate lest we should be
sounding tho national praises a little too loud in
saying what only seems to be due to the high pub-
lic spirit and national feeling which animate •
body of English gentlemen banded together to
learn and to teach the use of a new national
weapon of defence. But the whole thing has been
done in so thoroughly large and English a spirit,
that it needs nothing but the plain unvarnished
tale. To begin with the ground. Any one of
our continental friends coming in view of the butts
on Wimbledon Common would naturally conclude
that those very military-looking earthworks had
beet. raised after some months of operations by
the Royal Sappers and Miners, whereas they are
simply the work of a corps of navvies, commanded
by Mr. Scorr, and have been thrown up in far
leas time than TODLEBEN did his famous defences
of Sebastopol. But our friend's surprise would
be increased when we told him that these twenty
butts cost 6,5001., that they were merely
temporary, and could be levelled again
in a few days for about the same money.
We fear the only excuse for this apparent extra-
vagance would be to ay that if Government had
done the work it would have cost double that
amount. The National Association met and con-
quered their first enemy in the shape of earth-
works. Then came the swampy heath, rendered
still more of a bog by the extraordinary wet sea-
son : this must be made sound for all practical
purposes. No army of diggers could have drained it
in the time, but a Birmingham steam-plough soon
drove the furrows shallow or deep, wherever they
were wanted. This and the long barrier of
fencing contributed to swell the financial array
against the Association to a sum that would
frighten any but an English committee. There,
however, is the ground, open to all comers—a
practice ground of such extent that marksmen
from all the world may assemble and contend for
the palm, while the art of rifle shooting is im-
proved by the trial of skill as much as by the
comparison of the various kinds of rifles. Those
who know the difficulty and expense of obtaining
a practice ground, especially with any length of
range, will be amazed when they hear that this
ground is, according to existing arrangements,
only • temporary one. The situation is at once
so accessible, so safe, and so suitable, without the
least deprivation of public right which could for a
moment weigh against the public benefit, that the
ground ought to be considered as established ; and,
with some additional improvements, and some pre-
cautions on the side of safety to the public, it
would be • most important means of encourage-
ment to rifle shooting as a national pastime,
besides being of the greatest service to the Volun-
teers around London.

The shooting arrangements, made according to
the system employed at the Myth* Royal School
of Musketry, appear to have been admirably
planned by Major-General Hay, and they work
well in practice. It is only required that the public
should give themselves some trouble to under-
stand the signals indicating the value of the hits,
which are made in the rear of each 6ring point, to
make the shooting almost as interesting to the
bystanders as a horse-race. As yet, although
perhaps the shooting cannot be pronounced quite
of the " crack " order, the balance of excellence is
on the side of the English marksmen. They ap-
pear to have " tied " the Swiss and beaten the
Americans, but the result of " shooting off the
" tics" is really a matter of so much chance, de-
pending upon great nicety in loading and instant
discharge, upon perfect condition of nerve as well
as eye and hand, that we may console the losers in
these " ties " by esteeming them all equal, as we
ssy all men are brave, but some have luck on their
side. The Volunteers will, no doubt, oome out
with honours, and for them is gracefully reserved
the grand prize of all—the Qrszies Prize of
2501.—f0r which they have mustered strong from
every part of the country.

To the Panics CON/WIWI' Prise, which is open
to all the world, another has been added during
the meeting, which will match the foreigners one
against another, as Mr. FAINLIAIIN, whose very
liberal gift it is, intended. As some disappoint-
ment has been felt by the foreign riflemen in
having to fire with our light rifles, it is hoped this
match, which is without any restriction as to
rifles, will enable them to contest on their own
terms. The Swiss rifle being nearly double the
weight of our regulation rifles, is generally con•
aidered to have • corresponding advantage in
aiming. The Switzer' have another disadvantage,
far which they have to blame their own system—
that of firing at short ranges of from one to two
hundred yards ; and no doubt this will materially
lessen their chances at our long ranges. The
style of shooting of the Swiss—the attitude he
throws himself into with his piece—is as notice-
able as the seat of a good rider, firm and steady,
yet light, perfectly well balanced, and with • calm
eye intent upon the mark. As a model for posi-
tion drill our Volunteers might well study this
excellence in them. That long range, however, is
the most important point in rifle shooting must be
admitted, at least for military purposes ; it is
Indeed the genuine duty of a rifleman to
be able to bring down his man at the
extreme reach of his weapon. To do
this, he must not content himself with
firing over measured ground only, he must learn
the last accomplishment of a perfect shot—how to
measure distance by the eye. This is a test
which is not proposed in the contest now going
ou, but it forms an important part in the instruc-
tion of all riflemen, and it would be a most in•
teresting feature in the competitive trials of skill
in the art of rifle shooting.
The Volunteers form the prominent shooting
parties at every butt, and their familiarity with
their drill was seen to he of the greatest service in
forming them into the different sections. Indeed,

without this systematic method Major-General
ihy and his two Aides would have found it quite
impossible to &beet the bring of each day, or
Lee the Orders for the next; but the
section' composed of all corps fell
in as regularly as old soldiers, and were
moved about without the least confusion. All
this was another good practical result of
drilling. Of officers from the Line or from Eythe
there are comparatively few competitors ; this is
to be regretted, as among them are many most
expert riflemen; but General HAY, whose aim at
long range is said to be a deadly one, will pro-
bably hold his points against the all comers of all
nations for the Parsee's prize. It will not be the
first time that an Englishman has astonished the
world as a crack shot. It was an English noble-
man who in the days of duelling picked out the
ace of clubs at twenty paces in presence of the
Panics RZWINT, and laying a very heavy stake
on his success ; and as far es the trial has gone on
the old battle ground of the duel at Wimbledon
the ancient skill seems unimpaired.

THE FRIGHT OF THE KING—ATTEMPTS
TO CONCILIATE—VENGEANCE ON THE
POLICE.

NAPLES, Just' 90.

Like Shalespeare's drunken tinker, I do not
know where I am. Am I living in a world of
illusions or realities 1 Last week I was receiving
visits and petitions from the friends of political
sufferers in exile or prison—now many, perhaps
the majority of them are at large, embracing
friends, looking at old places on which they had
not set eyes for years. Inspectors of police are
humble and commissaries full of benevolence.
One old fox, with a strong cross of wolf, whom I
knew full well,was most anxious that the royal indul-
gence should not be delayed one hour. " Poor
fellows," said he, as he made out the order for their
deliverance, " they have already suffered too
much ;" and yet, till now, he never knew what
mercy was. I have actually been in caf4s, and
other public places, and Neapolitans have dared to
speak to me, and discuss political questions with
alla you. True, that every now and then a man
looks over his shoulder from habit, and lowers his
voice, but then recovers, and laughs at unfounded
apprehensions. Now all this shows a general convic-
tion that the old system of government is swept away,
but it does not indicate any confidence in the pre-
sent government, nor is there any—the Neapoli-
tans are full of suspicion ; their policy is one of
expectation, and I cannot speak too highly of their
reserved and dignified bearing at the present
moment.

In the course of the evening of the concessions
there was a body of cavalry in the Largo
of St. Ferdinand, and a strong body of
the police had the imprudence to show them-
selves in the Toledo and attack some of the
people, and take from them their sticks. At this
a struggle took place, and the police were compelled
to fly. The troops, who have been always in oppo-
sition to the police, acted with great moderation,
and quieted matters.
On Thursday, the 28th, the popular fury against
the police, which had been so long pent up, burst
out with increased force. There is scarcely a man
in Naples who in his own person or that of his
friends has not suffered long and bitterly from the
barbaritie► of these satellites of despotism. Capri,
Poore, the Vicaria, and Santa Maria, apparently
sent forth their victims to add oil to the fire,
not to speak of many other places of confine-
ment ; and however we may regret excesses,
the Neapolitans would have been more
than human if they had not wreaked their ven-
geance on the police. About 9or 10 o'clock in the
morning parties of the clams of artisans and the
lazzaroni went through different parts of the city
armed with muskets, sword-sticks, and knives,
and carrying a tricoloured flag before them.
One after the other they visited all the
commissariats of the police, sacked them, and
burnt the furniture and the papers in front.
Woe to those unfortunates who were found ; they
were manacled and severely beaten, and in many
cases given up to the military. So were all objects
of any value, and I record it to the great honour of
the Neapolitans that up to this moment I have not
heard of asingle theft, nor can I verify the murder of a
single policeman, though several are reported. Of
course, not a single member of that body is to be
met with—they have completely disappeared.
Some are said to be iu the castles, and if the
government is wise, it will ship them off at once to
one of the islands hitherto tenanted by some of
the criminal prisoners. There they would
be safe, because there is a military guard. Of
course these excesses, however much to be expected,
must be put a stop to, and every street and square
was speedily filled with soldiers and artillery. The
state of siege was ordered. Sentinels were placed
at the corners of all the Vicoli, and at one moment
it appeared to me that a bloody engagement was
inevitable.

According to an official announcement in the
morning San Carlo was to have been illuminated,
and the public buildings ; but the former was closed
in consequence of the state of siege, and not a house
did I see, except public buildings, which had any-
thing like a light in it. The appearance of the city
well represented the general obscurity in which we
are. Meanwhile all with whom I speak,dietrust the
King, his family, his entourage, and think it is im-
possible that the new order of things should go on.
Besides, it is remarked, we are already pledged to
other plans with Garibaldi and Piedmont. The
position is this, I think—Naples is not the mistress
of her own destiny ; she must wait to see what
Piedmont does, and also the army of exiles out
of the country. . . . .

The list of 'Ministers appointed and garetted is
as follows :—Spinelli, President of Council,
moderate ; De Martino, Foreign Affair'', honest
and liberal ; Morelli, Grace and Justice, a
just judge ; Prince Torella, Ecclesiastical Affairs,
honest but tepid ; Manna, Finance, good (Rug-
giero should be chosen) ; Federico del Re, Interior;
Ritucci, War; Garofalo, Marine; La Grea►,
Public Works, excellent, though not energetic.
For the moment, perhaps, the list in as good as
it could well be, but it requires modification'', and
should our exiles, who include the great proportion
of the talent of the country, return, we shall have
no doubt an infusion of them. The present
ministry is, of course, provisional.
On Friday mcrrning yro rocuivocl the now, that
the example of Naples had been followed in all the
communes in the neighbourhood, and that the com-
missariats had been sacked. At Castellamare great
apprehension had been awakened, as in the general
indignation against the police, and sympathy with
all who were in prison, there was an attempt to
liberate the galley slaves—the very worst characters,
and who amount to a thousand. The French line-
of-battle ship lying off Castellamare landed some of
her men, and united with the soldiers in the main-
tenance of order. At Sorrento, too, where the people
are so quiet, the same scenes occurred, though there
wee no personal violence used, nor was there, in-
deed, in the former place, as the son of the com-
missary threw himself out of the window, and thus
escaped the vengeance in store for him. Similar
reports come in from various other places, and the
fever will run through the laud, of course, and will
be attended, it is to be feared, with the loss of life,
as the provinces have been fearfully and cruelly
oppressed. This morning the government expects
something in the shape of au answer from the
dardinian government ; for though no communica-
tion was made to Villamarina on the sub-
ject of the league before last Thursday,
yet I have reason to believe that a
direct communication wax made to his government.
Oa Thursday the Count of Syracuse, Villamarina,
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs had an inter-
view, and yesterday his royal highness, with the
Sardinian Minister, bad an audience of the King.
I believe that the influence of his royal highness,

who is reconciled with his Majesty, has already had
good results, and M a great measure may be attributed
to him the removal of the Queen Mother and the
young princesses to Gaeta last Thursday night.
They were not permitted to go to Austria, to avoid
the possibility of its being said that they were
intriguing with that court. It is possible, if the
answer of the court of Sardinia be favourable, that
an embassy will be sent from Naples to Turin, and
that the Count of Syracuse will reprteent it. Sicily
will of course be an immense difficulty ; but if any
arrangement is yet possible this government is pre.
pared to offer another separate constitution for that
of Naples, and a viceroy, to be elected by
themselves, from the royal family of Naples.
Orders have been telegraphed to Messina to
suspend all hostile measures against Garibaldi,and,
at the same time, a request has been made to the
court of Turin to use its best offices with Garibaldi
to induce him not to act until some arrangement
has been come to.

Another important fact to be communicated
is that on Thursday night last the cap.
tured vessels, the Utile and Charles and
Jane, were released ; and on the word of Villa.
marina that they should go direct to Genoa, men
and all, they were not accompanied by a Neapoli-
tan vessel. The release was made in the form of a
favour, and in very flattering terms to the minister
of the United States, who refused to accept it as a
favour, stating that the affair was no longer in his
hands, and entering a protest, which was accepted
by Di Martino.
From farther details which I have gathered, the
attack on Baron Brenier would seem to have been
premeditated, as two men presented themselves,
one on each side of the carriage, and struck, one the
coachman, and the other the baron. Several
people have been arrested on suspicion, but I be-
lieve it is found impossible to identify them. A
large additional body of men were marched into the
capital on Thursday night. During the day the
troops at Caserta mutinied, and wanted to march
upon Naples, in hopes, perhaps, of another such a
sack as they lately had in Palermo.
lent night Journal decrees an extension of ten
days to bills payable between the 20th and 30th
inst. A series of decrees dismisses the most odious
commissioners of police and inteudeuts. Some
of the commissaries are in the Castle Novo.

After Post.—Sinn: making up my letter I hear
in high quarters that there is little expectation of a
favourable answer from Piedmont, and the country
will, as a consequence, be a prey to revolution ; the
fixed idea of the majority of the nation is to get
rid of the Bourbons, and Victor Emmanuel alone
could save them. Nevertheless, Francis 11., under
the influence of fear, it is true, is disposed
to go the whole length. The foreign troops
have been countermanded at the porta in the
Adriatic, and the most obnoxious of the polioe have
been arrested. 1 hear that several were killed the
other day ; indeed I can pretty well verify that four or
five at Terri dell' Anunziata, enjoying the repu-
tation of spies, wore killed. Nothing can exceed
the fury of the people against this race.
