The First Minister of the Crown took an unusual op-
portunity on Friday last to make a communication to
the House of Commons upon the measures about to be
taken for the reform of the civil administration of the
army. He assumed an apologetic tone not very familiar
to him, and he evidently wished to anticipate by this
statement the effect of the discussion which is to com-
mence this evening in the House of Lords. With his
measures we are certainly not disposed to find fault, for
they are identically those which we ourselves pressed
upon Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet more than a year ago,
with the support and authority of all those persons who
had impartially examined the subject. But as the whole
question had been fully considered on many occasions,
and was ripe for immediate action, Lord Palmerston
might have made his speech last Friday upon taking
office, just three months ago ; and if these measures had
been taken with all the promptitude required by the
emergency the position of the Government would be
very different from what it has now become. The un-
bounded and exaggerated popularity attached to Lord
Palmerston's name on his accession to office rested on
the assumption that a Cabinet formed under his direc-
tion would be more capable of energetic and sustained
action than that of his predecessor. We shall not revert
to all that the present ministry has done to refute and
destroy that opinion, but we look in vain for what they
have done to justify it ; and we cannot but feel surprise at
the easyself-complacency which can induce Lord Palmerston
to suppose that a single concession, and that so obvious
and so inevitable that there is far less credit in conceding
it now than discredit in withholding it so long, will allay
the ferment in men's minds, and satisfy the aspirations
of the nation after vigorous and enlightened government.
It is not only a change of details, but of principles ; not
the mere consolidation of offices, but the thorough cor-
rection of the evils of patronage and favouritism, that
we require; and a Minister who scoffs at merit as mere
opinion, and cannot distinguish between family influence
and personal qualifications, nu longer represents the
opinions of the majority either in the House of C.immons
or the country.
It must, however, be borne in mind that many of the
suggestions made by orators and members of Parlia-
ment, in the plenitude of their independence, assume a
different character when grafted upon the policy of the
Government. We certainly are not prepared to under-
take with Lord Ellenborough the conquest of Georgia
with the reserves of the Indian army, or to raise the
"slumbering nationality" of Poland by marching 10,000
men to Warsaw from the shores of the Baltic, or to im-
pose on the manufactures of this country a fiscal prohi-
bition of all the produce of Russia. The expediency of
adopting such measures as means of bringing this contest
to a successful termination depends altogether on the
reasonable expectation which may be entertained of their
success. Nothing which does not promise a clear prac-
Veal result in our favour ought to be attempted ; nothing
which does promise such a result ought to be omitted.
Then, with regard to the restrictive measures applicable
to the trade of Russia, which Lord Albemarle is to
bring forward on Tuesday, no man can doubt that the
pressure we are able to put upon the trade of that
empire is one of the most essential means of reducing
its power ; and, if this war lasts for many years, even
if it were carried on without any military operations at
all, the close blockade of the Russian ports and the
gradual transfer to other parts of the world of the de-
mand hitherto supplied by Russia must produce most
serious and permanent effects on that country. We
therefore never ceased to remonstrate against the laxity
of the blockade applied last year both in the Black Sea
and the Baltic ; and we believe that the most precise in-
structions have now been given to enforce it with the
utmost rigour. But there is a wide difference between
these lawful measures of naval hostility, which will close
the whole maritime commerce of Russia with the rest of
the world, and a mere system of fiscal prohibitions en-
forced upon this country alone. It has been shown to
demonstration, in former discussions, and especially by
Mr. Cardwell, in his excellent speech on the 20th of
February, that restrictions of this nature would defeat
their own object by injuring the people of this country
more than they injure the enemy, and, before measures
imposing fresh sacrifices of this nature upon the public
can be adopted, it must be shown that they are at least
calculated to accomplish the object of their promoters.

Her Majesty's ship Odin, Captain Wilcox, arrived at
Spithead yesterday afternoon, with five mortar-vessels
for the Black Sea fleet.

"Business in manufactured goods bad been done to a
considerable extent, but prices were very low, with but
little prospect of improvement. The new tariff, it was
supposed, would be ready almost immediately, and, it is
said, would come into operation on the let July prox.
Large transactions in coffee had been effected at higher
prices. Exchange had declined (owing to a combination
amongst the banks) to 271 d.; the amount done for Avon
is about 500,0001. Discount nominal at 9 per cent.,
with a great deal of uneasiness in the money market.
Freights dull at 455. and 50s. to Channel. The political
aspect of the country continues very f►vourable, and
considerable progress is manif.sted in local imprlve-
snents, and the town was very healthy, with no return
of fever."

The Marine Artillery officers and gunners for service
in the sea mortar-vessels proceed out in the Odin and
Rosamond. It is generally supposed that the Ro-atnond
is only to be made use of for the purpose of assisting the
Odin to convoy the sea morbar-vessels, with the Marine
Artillery officers and men, out to the Black Sea, imme-
diately after which she will be sent home.
The Peninimlar and Oriental Steam Company's screw
transport Simla, Captain George Brooks, arrived at
Spithead yesterday evening from Constantinople, which
she left on the 27th of April at 6 p.m., with the follow-
ing passengers:—Major Street, Major Turner, R
Captain Dashwood, R.A., Captain March, R.N., Cap-
t tin Deedes, Captain Russell, Mr. J. %Vest, R N.,
Messrs. Schauffer, Philip (Scutari), and William Riely,
Mrs. Langston, Mrs. Hestley, Mrs. M'Plain, Mi s. Bart
lett, Miss Erskine, 63 invalid soldiers from various regi-
ments, 3 merchant seamen, 4 soldiers' wives, 2 children,
with domestic servants, and 12 Russian officers and 250
men, prisoners, under a guard of 47 soldiers of the van--
one battalions of the Guards. The Simla arrived at
Malta on the Ist of May, and left on the 2d with other
passengers for England, comprising Colonel and Mrs.
Blake, Lieutenant McClean, Mr. George Prossor, Mrs.
Browne, 1 British naval officer prisoner, 37 invalid
soldiers from various regiments, 13 seamen, 4 distressed
British subjects, 7 domestic servants, 10 horses, &c.,
making a total of all ranks of 467 persons. She experi-
enced head winds the whole voyage, and when on the
way, about 100 miles from Irshant, broke her screw, re-
ducing her speed thereby to s;x and seven knots. She
did not touch at Gibraltar. She spoke the Indus off
cape St. Vincent, on the Bth ; all well. Only one sol-
dier and two of the Sirola's crew died on the passage.
She will go into Portsmouth harbour this morning to
land her prisoners and invalids.

It appears from these returns that the metallic reserve
has declined at Paris 21i millions, and increased in the.
provinces 9i millions. The account current of the
Treasury has declined 26f millions. The whole of the
metallic reserve amounts at present to 4201 millions, to
642 millions of notes in circulation.

From Bahia we glean the following intelligence
respecting the export trade :---

The or-der by telegraph for the invalids who arrived
on Friday from the East in the transports Chapman and
Canterbury to proceed to Chichester arrived at Ports-
mouth on Saturday forenoon. Major-General Breton
and staff were present at their removal. There were six
of the worst cases taken to the Portsea Hospital from
the Canterbury, and after the Royal Artillery and Sap-
pers and Miners left, 140 of her invalids were despatched
to Chichester new invalid depot. The Chapman sent
four of her worst cases to hospital, and 40 invalids to
Chichester ; the rest would go to Chatham. There are
about 70 new inmates in the Portsea Hospital since last
visited by a correspondent. These will receive to-day
a supply of extra comforts from Lady and Major. Gene•
