Maimed by I),,nnirk to' levy. tlitse duns, vihich have
)een imposed from timel;;Mmemorial, and are paid in
vii tue of treatit s -concludec4 with , the different Stites of
Gurope. The comnaitte 1i lyre limited•tbetthelves strictly
-o the operation ofth e, c - upon the trade and shipping
of this country, and t.l f kans by which they might he
9,-ot rid of in a manner ,co..,slstent alike with the national
)I:)not.ir and interests. As to the injurious operation of,
these dues, all .the vritner•ses have agreed, both. as to.
its extent and effects. The attendant evils are greater,
than that of the impost itself, and arise partly from the.
mode in- which the.dues are. collected, and partly-from
-he rate at which they are levied. The •stoppage of
vessels at Elsinore, the losses and inconvenience which
their detention there causes to tbe owners, and the absence
of any means by which tI4 charges.of tbe.clearimr orients
can be checked, have bee;, testified to by every valtn,-se
who has been examined. t' the grievances which arise not.
of the rates at which the dues are levied on the carzoes....:
the largest portion of the dirs. and leviedt bowecry for the
purpose of Danish revenue--h eve been as fertie a source
of complaint on the part of merchants. The.dues are
levied unequally, and are, therefore, the more oppres-
sively felt ; while D, mark has not in this ease, as in
that of the Light. Dues, the plea of rendering services in
return. The treaty
.1.6.11 does not appear to. havo.
done much to mitiztlflOje causes of .comp'aint which
'rtrurr exU.red--C an" l its our commercial intercourse with 1

the Baltic States increase,, the exaction will become,
year by year, more intolerable. In the revision of the
dues which took place under the Treaty of London,
those leviable on the article enumerated in the tariff do
not appear to have been arljnetd to the 'value' of the
goods at that period ; and owing to the difference which
has taken place in the last 200 years in the boat of pro
duction, the dues have now no certain relation to the
real value. It seems donbtful, indeed, whether, by the
Treaty; of Constantinople, concluded between Denmark
and Holland in 1645, and acceded to f-y England in
1670, an ad valorem, duty was ever intended to be levied
on the enumerated articles, though rho unenumerated
were to be so rated, One per cent. is regarded as the
rate at which the ad valoremduties should be levied;
but the evidence shows,that upon many articles, as sugar,
coffee, spices, cotton, salt, saltpetre, sulphur, iron, rich,
shumac, and wines, the duty actually levied is consider.
ably more. -witness from Liverpool, =Mr; Higgen,
who manufactures and exports to the Baltic large quan•
Cities of salt, says 'that the duty now levied on 'that
article is 12 per cent, upon its present value, and the
trade is cramped and limited by the operation of
such a heavy impost. The general feeling among ship-
owners and merchants is so strong against these dues,
and they have been proved to be so injurious to the
commerce of this country, that the committee will have
no .difficulty in condemning them, and urging upon the
House of Commons the desirability of their abolition.
The.evil is one which rnuet*increase in extent with every
extension of our Baltic trade, for the geographical ;posi-
tion of;-Denmark, gives her the command of every means
of access to the Baltic, except the Trolhatta Canal,
which will not admit vessels of the average size of those
elbployed in that trade. Steamers of light draught ma-
nage to make their way from Gottenburg to Stockholm,
but vessels of 200 tons are unable to do so. While the
right of Denmark to levy these tolls is allowed, there-
fore, she car; always protect them by imposing duties
upon goods carried through her territory by auy route
whatever. That she is determined to do so is evid,nt
from the imposition of duties on goods carried over the
Hamborg and Lubeck Railway, as soon as that line was
opened f)r traffic, The exemption enjoyed by the
Danish Railway, and which enables the North of Europe
Steam Navigation Company to forward goods to the
Baltic without payment of dues, arises from the fact of
its being royal property. In any negotiations that may,
be entered into for the abolition -of the Sound dues,
equivalents, such as the toll levied on the Hamburg and
Lubeck Railway, should be considered, and free transit
secured through every part of the Danish territory. No
doubt the committee will embody in their report a recom-
mendation. to this eAc'eet. The only question upon which
any difficulty is likely to be felt by the committee is as
to the mode of providing for -the redemption of the
dues, should that course be decided upon. • Most of the
witnesses examined have delivered the opinion that, as
the dues fall eventually on the consumers of the articles

imported, the charge should be borne by the country.pt
largP, rather than by the merchants awl shipowners in ,
the Baltic trade. This view has evidently bapretssect the
committee favourably, Mit it is observahle Oat the trade
make no very strong objection to beari..ig the charge
themselves, their reasons against such .a -mode resting
less on its iejustice than upon the ditfichlty and incon-
venience that would be experienced. in carrying it out.
The trade would probably be well content to realte,a•
direct fixed payment equal in amount to what can now
be legally claimed by Denmark, as they would he consi•!.
derablo gainers through the' avoidance of the many in-
cidental expenses of the present System and the delays
and losses to which it gives ?lee. Butthis course might
be objected to by the next generation'et Baltic'traders
and shipowners, and would not have been subjected. to
the evils of the present mode of cellecting the- Sedrid
dues, and they might claim to be relieved from what they
would 'regard as a differential duty in favenr'ef the time
her and wheat of Arnerica, the, hemp of India, and the
tallow of Australia and the Plate. The Precise Modenf
inaking'compensation to Denmark' for the loss nt this
source of revenue will probably he left entirely to the Le-
gislature, without any expreSsien of opinion on -the part'
of the committee. One thing, however,' is certain, viz,'
that whatever is to be'done should be' one quickly. The
Government of the United States has given•notice to'
Denmark that the Sotind dues will not be•paid by Ameri-
cans after June next, and a pro'position for the exemption
of Athericau shipping and merchandise has been made,
the terns orwhich it seems probable that Denmark will
accept. ShOuld thEeic •negotiations he 'successful, the
shipping, the produce, and the tUanufactures 9f the
United States will be given an undue advantage over
those of this country, as regards he trade of the coun-
tries bordering on the Baltic. 'AMerican vessels will
be enabled to carry at lower rater at 6eight, by reason
of their exemption from the' light due's,' while the ex-
emption of American goods 'will Operate as a differential
duty on British goods going to the Baltic-Ports, to the

rice, and other like produce could i.;,)

the electoral college is c,tistitio el, in on to be
able to form some estimate Of t:t) probable re-ault.
The:.Presidential candidates are not voted upon
directly by the pople.-• S:a4o chooses as
many electors as it has members both. litnises of
'Congress, and tbis body., when .chosen, constitute
the electoral college by. whom the President and
Ylce-President are chosen. In theory this body
is supposed to deliberate and select from the
`statesmen of the country, but practically the seve-
ral partieS select- their candidate and nominate
electors with a vieWto,their support in the college.
Thus, instead of any deliberation, tho votes of the
electors of each State are given in a body for one
'eir.the other candidates'. The electors of each Sate
meet in the capital of the State on a given 'day;
cast their votes, and. transmit the result to the
Speaker of the.Honse of Representatives at,Wash-
ington. They are -there-'opened in presence, of
both Houses, and the- general result declared.
The electoral college consists of 296 votes, distri-
buted as follows

h SIXTEEN FREE STATES.

To secure an .eleCtion- by the people it is neces-
sary to obtain 149 votes out of .the 296. Setting
Mr. Fillmore aside'for the moment, and supposing'
Mr. Buchanan to'carry all the' Slave States, and
Mr. Fremont, all tir'Free States, it is plain that
the latter gentlemaWwould be elected by 50 majo-
rity. But I consider *at, to say the least, the re-
sult in the States ofCalifornia, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Indiana, Delaware, Maryland, and Ken-
tucky is doubtful. Giving the other Slave States
to
,Mr. Buchanan, and the other Free States to
Mr.- Fremont, which' is.the' most favourable esti-
mate which the friends of the latter gentleman can
claim, that leaves Mr. Buchanan's chances in the
doubtful States better than. Mr. Fremont's as
'things now stand,- and justifies the views of' the
result which. I have expressed.
.Mr.
however, has hopes of carrying some of these doubt-
ful States, and hisi friends also claim to some'of the
Staten which I have given in the above estimate to
Mr. -Fremont. In such an event there would be
no election by the college, and the choice would
devolve-upon the IlOnse of Representatives. In
that body the vote is.taken ,by States, each. State
casting one vote. There is not a majority of States
for:any candidate ; and it-is supposed that, in the
event of there beinglio choice by the people, the
friends of Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Buchanan, whose
views upon the.slavery question are substantially
the same, would be able to-make some compromise.

and kind of " notions," to use -the Yankee, term,
for which no sale has been found in the Crimea,
owing to the prematiire peace,- and our too hurried
evacuation of that peninsula. Ship-loads of stores
are yet to be. embarked. The Russians we have
spared have good cause to blew their stars for the
" retreat" (as their soldiers believe it to be) we have
been induced to make. In their opinion we have
lost the war, not won it. Inkerman was a Musco-
vite victory (!) according to the Czar's ministers
and generals—a medal is worn for it—and, now,
our generous evacuation of the Crimea is regarded.
as a Measure to which we have been compelled by
, the irresistib'e poWer of Russia—not impelled by a
Christian desire, for the. attainment and mainte-
nance of an honourable peace. As I wrote you in

from Saturday next, will soon find its way into the
Engli:s pi ess. Thank God, we have a "fourth
estate." Its power—if it cannot cure—goes fir, at
home and abroad, to. hasten, at least, " the law's

Where are our consuls for Sebastopol, Balaklava,
Kertch, Theodosia; and Kaffa, to protect British
interests, now so seriously threatened Odessa is
so patronised and favoured in Downing-street that'
I refrain from adding it to this category. The best
consuls for the Crimea at present would be a few
gunboats. Nevertheless, it is to be hoped that the
more legitimate consuls,'-having pa,ssed(?) competi-
tive examinations, are on their way out, and that
there will be 'no "law's delay" in their*reeeiving,
their exequaturs. The Cossacks who, chaunting
their national airs, marched into Kadi-Koi last
Friday, ten days before their time, have already
proved the "insolence of office," by attempting to
levy contributions on shop-keepers ! I pity the
latter, and also the poor Tartars left behind ; and
happy am I that the deck of the Blarney is:crowded
not only with Tartar men, women, .and children,
but that the mule, the cat, the goat, and the
pigeon, and even the Karaite Jew are also to be
found among us. Let it not; however, be thought
that little or nothing has been left behind for the-
Russians. They will find thousands of our wooden
huts uninjured (we were ordered not to burn•thern)
aithough a British subject, Mr. B—m—, of-
fered to buy every one of them at a sovereign es

.still have the Cossacks to deal with—gentlemen
more given to looting than even Falstaff's
ragged regiment ; and as the Balaklava stores ate
not exactly little' Malakhoffs, and shipping is scarce
for Theodosia, or Kaffi, the contents of these stores
will, I fear, become small by degrees and beauti-
fully less, in a manner so incomprehensible that it
would puzzle a Minos to discover it. As the cat
alone of all domestic animals drinks our best milk
in England, so properties , evaporate wherever the
Cossack "Nobody !" plants his borsee's'hoofs, and
not even our LOndon detectives could afterwards
trace them. Our Palmerston Government will
stand in an awkward predicament if at the last mo-

" I'm a bold. Briton" won't go• far with the CO-
sacks in the time of the Czars. Still, I may be re-
garded by some but as an-alarmist. For their
satisfaction, then, let me add that, although her
Majesty's ship Leander was the only man-of-war
left at Balaklava (fine economy truly`! when we
sailed this morning, a majestic three-decker (query
the Royal Albert) was subsequently descried off the
Monastery, steaming apparently for the same port,
.in the afternoon; and then, as to redcoats, though
the 72d had left with her Majesty's ship Sanspa-
reil, have wo not left behind the 50th, 56th, and
82d ? Three "crack" regiments, certainly ; but
will they all be at Balaklava next Sunday when the
Russian colours (resembling an upset hour-glass)
are to be heisted ? I wot not. By the bye, .even
our. Government coal hulk at Balaklava, the Me-
dora, •has been' bought by the Russians for 7001.
Britannia is certainly selling off ; and Britannia's
coals will prove, very handy for the Czar's new
" police steamers." Russia is to have no other
men-of-war in the Black Sea—credat Judcrus..
And now take care that Russia does not buy
,Milo from the Greeks, and thus have a strong •
naval port and arsenal on that side of
Turkey, - though' prohibited by the allies from re-
taining one on this. Milo may yet become •to
Ruasia (though the Yankees failed to get it) what
Malta is to England.
Before leaving Balaklava this morning I visited
the grave of General .Estconit, at the .bead-quar-
ters•of.Lord, Raglan and Generals Simpson and
Codrington. " A house that changes its tenants

did, this day, upon the unpretending mural tablet
to the memory of Lord Raglan ; and also upon
the tomb covering the. mortal remains of General
Estcourt ! This morning I found but two indivi-
duals at head-quarters. A Russian general had
just left. The English staff all quitted on the pre-
ceding Friday and Saturday, and Captain Baines,
.the military magistrate, removed to Kadi-Koi,
.where he occupies Colonel Peel's old house. At
head-quarters (whence the British flag was gone) I
found one William Church, • of the Sapperi and
Miners, carefully plastering into the wall the small
tablet just-mentioned', bearing the following in-
scription in English and Russian—" In this room,
F. M. Lord Raglan, G.C.8., Commafider-in-
Chief, of the English • army' in the Crimea, died

the gratification of being one of the only four in

one of his.comrades, a lady, and myself. Having
eto.join the ship (and I found her under weigh on
doing so) I could stay only till my fair country-
woman had read this inscription ; and next cut a
-twig of the tree shading the stone slab, also to the
memory of Lord Raglan; in the vineyard, near the
well, below the wooden staircase ascended by
General Luders when here passing through the
11th Hussars, he lunChed with Gen. Codrington at

in question. also .cut a slip or, two from the field of
vines at "this "Raglan 'House ;" they are rapidly
recovering the injury they had received during the
eampaign from gentlemen of all ranks raving in
search. of fuel. Not a hut at head-quarters has
been taken down, scarcely one is at all injured,
and in many 'I saw trying-pasts, and ether kitchen
utensils, fit for further use, waiting the arrival of
the first corner. The Cossacks were prowling in
the immediate neighbourhood, and they have ever
keen noses for plunder.
General Estcourt's tomb, and the adjacent stone
to the memory of Cattiest, Esq. (of the Staff),
have been well attended to in the luxuriant though
little walled graveyard just outside the boundary
of head-quarters. The spot is just five miles. from
Balaklava, and all the way there is an excellent
road to it. Perhaps no general was ever more be-
loved than Estcourt. Requieseat in pace.
Touching Balaklava, I have only to observe that
the hospitals, and Miss Nightingale's-- residence;
with wharVes, sheds, and huts set up by the Engs
ash, will all fall to the ItussiansAnaluliday -next;

MEMORIAL TO THE BRIGADE ,OP

GUARDS.

Yesterday afternoon a large meeting of noblemen and
irentlerneu, the great majority of whom belonged to the
military profession, was held -in the. Leeture,Theatre
of the United Service Institution, Whitehall, for-the pur.
pose of taking steps for erectinf, some permanent memo-
rial to the officers and men of tale brigade of Guards who
-fell in the late war. The Duke of CambiidgeOccupied
the chair. Resolutions in favour of, the erection of the
proposed monument, and appointing a committee to ob-
tain subscriptions and otherwise carry out the objects of
the meeting, were moved by Field-Marshal, the Earl of
Strafford, Major-General Lord Rokeby, General Sir Ed.
Bowater, Colonel Brune, and Sir John Hanbury. (The
Earl of Strafford appeared quite blind, and was led into
the theatre by General •Stanhcpe.) The following offi-
cers were selected to act as members of the Coffimittee :
General Sir A. Woodward (chairman), Lieut.-General
Sir G. Bowles, Lieutenaut the Earl of 'Sefton,' Colonel
Lord F. Paulett, Lieut-Celonel the Hon. A. rfardinge,
Colonel the Hon. H. N. Hood, Colonel Wood, Colonel
Upton, Captain F. Cost, Lieut.-Colonel Lord Burghersb.
Colonel Moncrieff, Major-General Lord Rokeby, Colonel
the Hon. G. Cadogan, Colonel the Hon. J. Lindsay,
Colonel Hamilton, Colonel Vernon Harcourt, Major-
General Spencer Stanhope, Major Sir J. Dunlop, Major
Goodlake, Colonel, Lord J. Murray, Lieut.-Colonel Ste-
phenson, Lieut.-Colonel Haygarth, Major Gipps, and
Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. P. Charteris. A vote of thanks
having been unanimou4y passed to the Duke of Cam-
bridge for presiding, his Royal Highness acknowledged
the compliment, and said that, howevr heavy his duties
were, he felt it his duty to come there and give his
assistance, for no man had been more closely connected
with the Guards than he had, and whilst he was com-
mander of that brigade he felt proud of the position he
held. In speaking of the briga ie, he wished to be an-
dorstood that he made no distinction between them and
the regiments of the line, for he maintained thatthrough-
out the 'whole struggle the entire army had fought most
nobly, and had given universal satisfaction. (Cheers.)
The meeting then separated.
