In his own Presidency the writer states :

"A satisfactory commencement has been-made in the re •
duction of military expenditure. Mr. Wilson observes
that, on comparing the number of troops in the different
Presidencies in 1857 and at the close of 1859, he found the
increase in Bengal barely 5 per cent., while in Madras it
was 50 per cent., and in Bombay 30 per cent. Supposing
the figures to be correct, the explanation is obvious. The
old Bengal native army collapsed, and a more numerous
native army has been raised in its place. The Madras and
Bombay armies remained faithful, and were largely aug-
mented to suppress the mutiny of the Bepgal army.'
At the present moment, remarks Sir C. Tre-
velyan, " we stand in a position of great advan-
tage at the turning point of two policies" :
"If we determine upon reducing a large portion of our
native army and improving the condition of the remainder,
the financial difficulty will be overcome ; we shall have a
feeling of security which we have not enjoyed for many
years, and we shall be free to work out those improvements
in the different branches of Indian Administration upon
which the prosperity of the country depends."
Sir C. Trevelyan then enlarges upon the disas-
trous consequences which, in his opinion, will result
from the imposition of the new takes, and which,
as he believes, will cause disaffection, stop progress,
and pauperise the country :
" All people are, of course, averse to taxes ; but the
native feeling in reference to the imposition of new taxes
differs in kind from this, and is not so destitute of reason
as may at first sight appear. The natives of this country
have always lived under despotic governments ; and in
the absence of any better moans of placing a limit upon
the exactions of their rulers, they have been accustomed to
take their stand upon long-established practice, which they
regard as we de our ancient hereditary privileges. Hence
it has always bees observed that while they are extremely
patient under established grievances, they are always dis-
posed to meet new impositions by active or passive resist-

SALE OF GAS.

Mr. DEEDES gave notice that he would move for the
repeal of the bill passed last session for regulating measures
for the sale of gas.
COTTON GOODS (INDIA.)
Mr. GREGSON asked the Secretary of State for India
if the report was correct that the tariff value of cotton
goods on importation into India had been raised from £lOO
to about £150; and whether the previous duty of 5 per
cent. on LlOO was to be raised to 10 per cent. on £l5O,
thereby fixing a duty of 15 per cent. in place of 5 per cent. ;
and, secondly, it' the report was correct, if this excessive
scale. of duties would be sanctioned by the Council of India.
Sir C. WOOD said that he was not i possession of in-
formation to enable him to answer the question exactly.
He could state, however, generally that Mr. Wilson found
the duty on goods in India at different rates, and he thought
it advisable to impose a uniform rate of 10 per cent.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

The litoniteur of this morning publishes the law
concerning sugars and coffees which has been
agreed to by the Senate.

The Moniteur also publishes the order of the day
of matters to be discussed in the next sitting of the
Senate, among which are petitions in reference to
the import of iron and to the execution of the
treaty of commerce between France and England.

ROME, MAY 23.

An official despatch, dated Naples, 22d inst.,
states that the insurgents in Sicily were attacked
and dispersed on the 21st inst. by the 9th battalion
of Royal Chasseurs-128 of the rebels were killed.
The insurrection was making no progress.

NAPLES, MAN 23, 6 P.M.

(Official.)

The rebels encamped at San Martino, near Mon-
reale, have been beaten twice, driven from their
positions and pursued to Partanico with very con-
siderable losses.

One of their leaders, Rosolino Pilo, was killed.
The heights which were occupied by the rebels
have been taken by the Royal troops.

RANGOON AND SINGAPORE TELEGRAPH.

The telegraph cable of 1,200 miles to be laid be-
tween Rangoon and Singapore is now being tested
by a process invented by Mr. W. Reid. During the
manipulation of gutta percha a great quantity of
air and water is liable to become mixed with it, and
in marine cables, when covered with ropeyarn and
iron wire, these faults have hitherto been detected
only after submersion. By the plan of Mr. Reid,
however, all such defects are alleged to be certain
to be discovered. A coil of gutta percha, from one
mile to five, is placed in a strong cylinder that can
-be made air and water tight. The first operation is
to exhaust the cylinder; when a vacuum is formed
a column of water is allowed to rush in and fill up
all the holes and crevices formerly filled with air.
The cable is in this state tested with a delicate gal-
vanometer and noted. A pressure is then applied
equal to the pressure of a column of water the height
or which is equal to the depth of the scat where the
cable is intended to be laid, whether it be the
Atlantic or any other. This is continued for a cer-
tein time, when the wire is again tested. On the
pressure being removed another testing takes place,
and it is affirmed that if the smallest defect in the
insulating medium, or mechanical injury, however
minute and invisible to the naked eye, then exists,
its detection is inevitable. The disease can accord-
ingly be removed or repaired, and the manufacture
proceeded with. Finally, it appears that the whole

THE CATTLE TRADE.—HEREFORD, May 23.—At
our St. Ethelbert's fair there was a brisk demand for all
kinds of fat stock, which realised from 7d to 70 per lb.
The late genials rains have done so much good to the pas-
tares as to raise the value of lean stock quite £1 a-head,
but of these the supply was greater than the demand. Fat
wether sheep were worth rather more than 7d per lb., and

Subjoined are the official notifications posted at
the Stock Exchange concerning the decisions of the
committee aster investigating the business trans-
acted through members of the house for the de
faulter Pullinger. Both documents have elicited
free-comments, iu consequence of the doubtful na-
ture of the composition, but whether the fault rests
with the body of the committee, or the secretary,
whose name is appended to them, cannot be clearly
ascertained. They are, nevertheless, sufficiently
intelligible for the public to ascertain the result,

unanimously :

and Mr. Theod. in relation to their viola-
tion of Rule 58, by transacting speculative busi-
ness for W. G. Pullinger when a clerk in the
Union Bank of London, without communicating
with his employers, and the different facts elicited
in the examination of these gentlemen before the
committee:—

" Resolved that Mr. R. Johnston be suspended
until 25th March, 1861, his re-admission after that
to be decided upon by the committee for the time
being.

members in a calamitous loss, desire to record on

CHURCH RATES.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a number
of petitions in favour of the abolition of Church Rates.

SAVOY AND NICE.

The Earl of CARNARVON said he had given private
notice to tho noble lord opposite of his intention to put a
question to him on this subject. He preferred taking this
opportunity, as the noble viscount (Stratford de Redcliffe)
bad a notice on the paper with respect to Switzerland and
Turkey, when
Viscount STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE inter-
rupted the noble earl by observing that as the motion he
had on the paper was a very important one, he thought it
would be better to postpone it until after the holidays.
Under those circumstances he should not put his question
until the 11th of June.

The Earl of CARNARVON said that being the case he
would at once ask her Majesty's Government whether
they could inform the house in whatlstate the negotiations
was respecting the conference proposed to be held for
settling the disputed question connected with the cession
of Savoy to France.
Lord WODEHOUSE said he could not give the noble

tiations could not be carried on till the Treaty of Turin was
ratified by the Sardinian Parliament. There had been a
pr posal for a conference, but the exact points for discus-
sion had not yet been decided.
CHURCH RATES.

Lord LYVEDEN gave notion that on the 13th of June
he should move the seccsid reading of the Bill for tho
Abolition of Church Rates.

UNION OF BENEFICES BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill, which had
for its object the removing certain churches in now ♦ery
thinly populated parishe • in the city of London, and to
transfer the revenues to some adjoining but not largely en-
dowed parish. _ _

A long discussion arose, in which it was strongly urged
that the operations of the bill should not be confined to the
metropolis, but should be extended to other parts of the
kingdom. An amendment was ultimately agreed to extend
the provision of the bill under certain conditions.

Several verbal amendments having been made to some of
the other clauses, the bill passed through committee and
was reported.

Several other new clauses, proposed by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, were also agreed to.
(LEFT SITTING.)

One of the effects of the late treaty of commerce
with England is already visible in Paris. Several shops
are crowded with English porcelainee of very superior qua-
lity to that hitherto ustd in France.
A letter from Rome of the 15th inst., announces
that the Papal GOvernment has obtained possession of
several very important documents, which contain: the
instructions of the revolutionary committees to their
agents, directing them to hasten an insurrection in the
States of the Church, and likewise in the Abbruzzi and in
Calabria. It adds that the Court of Rome proposes to ad-
dress copies of these documents to the great Powers of
Europe.

have attained

rant officers z: re
disrated, and mingled
indiscriminately
th ordinary seamen and the
refuse of the naval
se,rvice. "Distinguished sea-
men of many yeb:vrs

wounded and maimet

abled on duty, are ct'rlfounded with others who
have never known .
acti.ve service at all, and who.
..
a
are rather to be regarded as labourers or as domes-
tic servants than as seamen.." The food of the pen-
sioners seems to be good a:id abundant, and the
system of messes not objectiotable; but the dress
appears not to be satisfactory to the men. "At
the time of the foundation,", say til.e Commissioners,
" the dress now in use there was the mark of a
superior condition in life, and • was doubtless
adopted on that account." Now it is antiquated ;
it has no resemblance to the uniform of the navy,
and " its grotesque appearance not utt frequently
attracts a notice little complimentary to t.lie wearer."
But the most practical grievance is the small allow-
ance made to the inmate beyond his board anti
lodging. On entering the Hospital he is made tt
relinquish any pension lie may have gained n tht)
service. Tic thenceforward receives, under the
name of "tobacco-money," the sum of one shislfng •
a week. `Phis sum was fixed in the early days ol
the Hospital, when a shilling represented a larL te:r
exchangeable value than now. It is at present ye ry
inadequate to supply the men with the humble st
comforts ; and, indeed, we can see but little diffe
ence between a fraction under twopence a day at
nothing at all, so far as the gratification of the pc tor
old men is concerned. " The practical effect," sr tips
the report," of these parsimonious restrictions is at
once offensive and demoralising ; they induce ma my
pensioners to present themselves to visitors of t his
great national asylum in the character of ordint cry
beggars ; they force others to seek in places of the
lowest description about Greenwich menial and ac-
grading employments, and they tend to excb Ide
the pensioners from social intercourse with all but
those of their own monotonous fraternity." 'l7he
remedies for these and other evils are pointed °LA
by the Commissioners in a long report, which w
recommend heartily to the consideration of the Ad .-
miralty. -A better classification of the nten, an es -.-
tended system of out-pensions, more attention to
the wives and families of those residing• in the
Hospital, and a small increase in the sum allowed
them for humble comforts, will probably give
Greenwich all its former popularity, and encourage:
the seamen of England to uphold their " aruneut
reputation for the courage and constancy 1113M-
fested in engagements for the defence and hon our
of their native country."—Times,

REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY.

Lord PALMERSTON said he would now move that
a committee be appointed to search the journals of
the House of Lords relating to the proceedings of their lord-
ships in reference to the bill for the repeal of the Excise
duty on paper.

The motion, which was merely of a formal character,
was agreed to. .

It was also agreed that the following members should
compose the committee, namely, Lord Palmerston, Lord
John Russell, the Chancellor ,of the Exchequer, Sir G.
Grey, Mr. Clive, Mr. Laing, and Mr. Brand.
After a few ',minutes absence Lord PALMERSTON
brought up the report of the committee amid much
laughter. It merely contained an extract from the journals
of the House of Lords, stating that the bill was debated,
and the amendment that it be read a first time that day six
months agreed to.

On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, a committee to
search for precedents, of which he had previously given
notice, was appointed.
THE CAVALIERE LUIGI VILLAROSA.
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State forFor9ign
Affairs whether, on or about the 11th April last, a fugitivefrom the Neapolitan troops at Palermo, the Cavaliers Luigi
Villarosa, applied for refuge to one of the English ships of
war anchored in the harbour; that he was repulsed by
the captain, alleging that his instructions only allowed him
to extend his protection to British subjects, add that he was
received and protected on board a Russian vessel ; and if so,
whether such transaction was previous to the date of the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs' late instruction to
the Admiralty ; and whether the officer in question was
now informed of the directions of the Government on the
subject.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had communicated with
the Admiralty, who, he understood, had not received any
information respecting the transaction in question.
THE LANDING OF GARIBALDI.

In reply to Mr. HENNESSY,
Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he would be ready to
lay on the table of the houso the correspondence on this
subject.

ATTENDANCE OF MINISTERS.
Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on the first day of the
meeting of Parliament after the holidays, he would move
that, in consequence of the pressure of public business,
Ministers to whom questions were to be addressed,
according to notice, should be in their places at four
o'clock. (Laughter.)

BOURSE, July 14.—The important news that
Garibaldi had arrested and banished M. La Farina,
which measure was understood to imply a complete
split between the Dictator of Sicily and Count
Cavour, produced wonderfully little effect, although
there was a rumour that the Liberal Neapolitan
Minisify had resigned, and a general feeling was
prevalent that next week will not pass over without
momentous events in Italy. The following are the

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL,
Gray's-inn-road.
This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most
pitiable form, viz., that which is accompanied by sickness and
disease, and is now of sufficient •magnitude that, with ade-
quate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into
its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this
great metropolis ; moreover, it gratuitously affords medical
advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 2,000 out-
patients a week.
