X EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1857.

pital, all pointed out by to la time to have pro-
! vented the evils before they occurred; and let the govern-
ment listen to our wanting now, and ad with wisdom and
promptness. A parliamentary report, recently publishad,sa to
the deaths In the Bolds and Black Sea fleets, shows that the
deaths in both fleets, In the years 1854 and 1855, numbered
2,029, of which 1,574 were the Jesuit of disease, 228 of sui-
cide, drowning, and other accidental causes, and only 227 of
wounds in actieta. These figures show that in our navy, as
in the army, pestilence end disease are far more fatal than
the sword or arUllery, and the other pantie of war. The
deaths by various dimmer amounted to upwards of 7to lof
those which were caused by bade."

The United Service Gazette points out that the

penny-wise-and-pound-foolish system is very charmingly
exemplified by the War Department in their image:mats
for the embarkation of troops for India. Really, one would
suppon that they behaved Dover and ghersoliffe to be in-
land towns, for on no other hypothesis cam we undentand
why troops should be moved thence to be embarked at
Pertentouth, when the transports ma is easily lay off the
Dover pier. The other day four regiments wen moved from
the camp and cantonments, and rant to Portsmouth at a posi-
tive loos to the country of some two thousand pounds, and
an immense addition to the fatigue of the poor men, who,
attar getting to Gosport, had to go on to Spithead to embark.
It Lambed a regular fatigue day, preventing the men from
',Wag their male at the more' time. Loa ?ware Nay
stare at the alleged expense, but if say of the gentlemen is
hie lordship's depot =eat will be at the trouble to make a
calculation of the cost of bringing vessels from the river to
reetereouth for the embarkation of troops, adding thereto
the railway charges frets Dover, and compare it with the
oust of embarkation at Dover, they will find that we an not
very much out.

The Dispatch says " The real state of the harvest
nay be, sad is, misrepresented for interested purposes; bat
the feet that no yield so groat has been know,* over
Europe for 20 yeas. la Canada and the States ft is also
large. and holders of Oral Western of Canada Railway
Stock, in the face of falling traffic return*, rather raise their
price, because they know that whenever the crops come to
be distributed a gnat bureau of traffic:must follow. Europe,
especially England, shoats be in the most flourishing condi-
tion, and stocks would be tar enough above per to allow
of a Two-sad-a-Half per east. Stock, but that our Indian
Empire comes in to draw off our labour beads, and to seise
our tour.. In the city it is coufidently asserted that
100,000,0001. will not see us through the consequences of the
revolt ; and if our wise men of Gotham had their way, we
would seize all China, and try to hold about 600,000,000, or
two-thirds of the whole human race, by a standing army
destined to strengthen the Crown, and ultimately to com-
mand England, as the Pretoriaa beads held Roan, or as
Monk brought in James. We are, it seems, to rule the
world by mercenaries, by Kaffir, from the Cape, and bee
pogrom from the West ladies ; men who will go anywhere
end do anything their leaders order thus. It cosy be re-
membered that it was proposed in the mime way to marsh
the Sepoya of Indis against China, as if war sad great
armies were really the trade and the stock is trade of
England."
