" A financial despatch published at Calcutta is
most important.- There is no precedent for its
communication to the press, but we trust it may
be the herald in this respect of the good time
coming.' An estimated inprovement' in our
finances has appeared to the extent of 773
lacs (£775,000), reducins the deficit to 650
lacs (£6,400,000). The improvement is owing
to reductions in military and public works ex-
penditure, and increased receipts from the new
tariff, the stamp, salt, the license taxes (the latter.
is, therefore; expected to - come into opera-
tion). The revenue for 1860-61 is estimated at
3,890 lacs (£38,900,000), the charges at 4,225 lacs
(X 42,250,000), the estimated deficit thus being
335 lacs (£3,350,000). The question has been
asked, has this statement been put forth_to show
that we can do without Mr. Wilson ?
" LOrd Canning left Calcutta on, his 'progress'
on the morning of October 10, arriving at Allaha-
bad in the evening of the 14th. He stayed only
a few hours, and 'then went on to Cawnpore.
Lady Canning was expected at Allahabad on the
16th, on her way to loin his lordship. The ob-
ject of the journey is said to be, 'the recog-
nition of many of the new tenures in Oude,
the reception of native Princes of the Pun-
jab and others, his direct_ intercourse ,with,,
those who loyally lent their aid to uphold the
British power, and the personal acknowledgment
of these services, and for inspecting Delhi and
Oude.' Every chief of note is commanded to
appear before the two representatives of England's
power—the Governor General and Commander-
m-Chief. It will be a grand occasion, and for the
conquered powers sufficiently humiliating.
" Radical chan,sPes are looked for on Mr. Wil-
son's advent—perhaps even the abolition of the
Supreme Council, and a government of secretaries.
The Phoenix affirms—A Three Chief Secretaries or
Ministers are spoken of—for the Civil, Military,
and Marine Departments, Mr. Wilson to be the
latter, exercising a control over external com-
merce and its development. Under the secre-
taries will be subordinate functionaries of high
rank.'
"Another great change is thus spoken of by
the Bombay Times :
(,‘ We are told, on authority which we hardly
feel at liberty to doubt, that instructions were
received from home by, the last mail to commence
the immediate absorption of the local army, by
attaching the European regiments forthwith, as
second battalions, to the Queen's.'

The Nepaulese authorities have been pressed, -
it is said, to hunt out the rebels, and Jung Baha-
door is thought to have moved in consequence.
Sir G. 'Whitlock is opening a campaign in Bun-
delcund ; two flying columns have already.

" The ex-King of Oude is said to have accepted
a pension of 12 lacs (£120,000), and relinquished
all claims on Oude."

CENTRAL ITALY.
[REUTER'S TELEGRAM.]
Rut's, Monday.—The Constitutionnel, in an
article signed by its chief editor, M. Grandquilliot,
says that the declaration of the Cabinet of Turin,
on the subject of the Regency of M. Buoncom-
pagni, are of a nature to make- those arrange-
=ments possible which have generally been con-
sidered. as very difficult of execution. It is
understood that if M. Buoncoinpagni exercise the
Regency, it is only for the maintenence of order
in Central Italy. Italian interests are in harmony
with European interests in order to reserve for
the Congress the definitive regulations of the
situation of the Italian Peninsula.
