Yesterday were issued, in the form of a return to par-
liament from the Audit-office, two accounts of the re-
ceipts and expenditure for army commissariat, militia,
and the ordnance services for the year ended 31st March,
1856. The aggregate amount of the ordinary grants for
army, militia, and commissariat services in 1855 56 was
18,780,532/. ; the appropriation in aid, viz., the contri-
bution from the revenues of the Australian colonies in
aid of military expenditure, was 37,9481. ls. 11d.,
snaking together 18,828,4801 Bs. 11d. ; and the total ex-
penditure as shown by the account was 20,350,5801. lls.
11d. It appears that while there was a saving of
961,797/. 17s. 4d. upon thirteen votes of the year, on
eight other votes the expenditure exceeded the amount
voted by 2,484,8911. Os. 4d., and deducting 882,4981.
19 ad., the saving on embodied militia, which was not
applied to cover the deficiency of other votes, the nett
deficiency of the year was 2,405,599/. 2s. 6d. This defi-
ciency was provided for by the transfer of a like sum
from the special vote of 3,000,0001. granted by parlia-
ment, to meet any additional expenses arising out of the
Russian war, leaving the 882,498/. 19s. ad. unexpended
on the embodied militia to be surrendered to the Ex-
chequer.
The second account shows that the amount voted for
the ordnance services was 9,990,1651., whereas the ex-
penditure amounted to 11,993.7841. 3s. 4d., leaving a
deficiency of 2,103,6191. 3s. 4). The sum of 2,019,0371.
124. ld., was expended in eight votes beyond the
amounts voted by parliament ; but upon two votes, viz.,
scientific branch and non-effective services, there was a
saving of 15,4181. Bs. 9d., which reduced the actual de-
ficiency to 2,003,5191. 3s. 4d. This deficiency was made
up by a transfer of a like sum from the 3,000,0011. voted
for the additional expenses of the Russian war.
In reference to the above two accounts a correspon-
dence is appended to the first, between the Treasury, the
Audit-office, and the War Department, as to the delay
which had occurred in furnishing them. The War-office
excused the delay on the ground that the Russian war
had rendered it more than usually laborious And difficult
to make up the returns from its various departments,
and while accepting this excuse the Lords of the Trea-
sury express a hope that " Lord Panmure will take the
necessary steps for expediting the completion of the ac-
counts so that they may be presented in future years on
the Ist of March, or earlier, if passible."

[PRIOR 4D. STAMPED 5D .]

and flags—this excellent arrangement obviating
any of the old plan of shouting out the orders or
sending messages. Each vessel stationed bore a
distinguishing number.
At a very early hour in the morning there wore
strong indications that the inhabitnnts of the three
towns intended to make the occasion a grand and
general holiday. From about 10 o'clock in the
morning till three in the afternoon, six steamers
were constantly running from Devonport to Salt-
ash, without the least intermission, conveying to
Saltash during the day nearly 1.0,000 persons. The
railway also brought a large number of persons to
the neighbourhood. At noon the greater number
of the shops closed, and shortly after thousands
were seen wending their way to the point of at-
traction, where ultimately some persons estimated
t •at nearly 100,000 persons mast have assemb'ed.
The Devonport Dockyard was closed at 12 o'clock,
and most of the officers and artisans were among
the spectators.
The townspeople of Saltash also, not to be be-
hind hand in expressing their joy and mirth on so
festive an occasion for their interests, suspended
flags in various parts of the town, and the merry
peal of the church bells enlivened the scene
throughout the afternoon. A large, number of
yachts, vessels, and boats, many of them gaily de-
corated with flags, were also on 'the river, and
every available station on the surrounding hills
was occupied by spectators. Several tents and
marquees were erected to afford accommodation to
them. The weather was most genial, and the scene
altogether presented such a lively coup d'ceil as is
seldom witnessed in that vicinity. Along the
Devon side of the river were ranged a row of
itinerant refreshment stalls and confectioners'
stands ; a few shows were also present. The pub-
lic-houses, beershisps, and *tea-houses In the neigh-
bourhood were also densely crowded.
At 1.5 in the afternoon, the whole of the prepa-
rations having been completed, the pontoons glided
into the river. Just under the tube, in the centre
of the roadway, a platform was erected, which was
occupied by Mr. Brunel and part of the staff of his
engineering department. There were about. 500
men on board the vesesls and ashore employed in
the operation, and kept busily at work, especially
those on board No. 4, station vessel, whose assist-
ance was required for a longer period than the
others. The arrangements were so admirably con-
ducted that not the least irregularity occurred, or
the least noise or confusion prevailed. As the mr s-
sive structure moved round towards its destined po-
sition everybody gazed on it with admiration; and the
mechanical skill and ingenuity of the engineer, Mr.
Brunel, was the sole subject of conversation. About
half-past 3 o'clock the western end 'of the tube was
placed in its position, amidst the cheers of the thou-
sands of spectators that were present. -The band of
the Royal Marines were placed on board a steamer,
near the tube,' and throughout,the afternoon played
a variety of musical pieces, which greatly enlivened
the proceedings. The tube and roadway chains,
strutts, &c., present a most unique appearance ; at
once a memorial of engineering ingenuity, and the
t iumph of mechanical science, as applied to practi-
cal purposes of great difficulty. It is believed that
several months will be occupied in raising this sec-
tion vertically to its permanent place on a line with
the railway. From its present position it will be
gradually raised, as circumstances will allow, by
means of hydraulic presses.
About 5 o'clock the band played the National
Anthem, and the spectators began to disperse, the
et 'eaters being again crowded on their return passage.
A large number of private and public carriages and
equestrians were at the pas4a,o;e during the after-
noon, but we are happy to say that notwithstanding
the numbers present and the magnitude of the un-
dertaking, not the slightest accident occurred dur-
ing the day.

tives from disease, and for casualties in the three
subsequent sottiee, we can hardly estimate our en-
tire force before Delhi as much above 10,000 men.
There are probably double this number of Sepoys

force of the enemy gathering. Computing the

It is right to look these facts in the face, and,
in inquiring whether the 20,000 men now on the
way from England can reconquer the revolted pro-
vinces, we ought not so much to ask whether they
are sufficient, but whether it is possible in any way
to, add to them. Iu this cruel and exterminating
war, in which so many precious lives have been
sacrificed, he that counsels half measures or any
measure short of the utmost that can be done
is an enemy to England, and deserves to be
gibbeted to the execration of his countrymen.
Why is the garrison of Malta not sent overland
with hot haste, and its place taken by militia
regiments or volunteers—who would not volun-
teer at such a moment ? Why have Ministers
positively refused to allow the Company to in-
crease their European troops ? Is this a time for
party quarrels or squabbles about patronage ? Is
India to be deprived of new levies of Europeans
because it is to, be a question next session of
Parliament what form the home government of
India is to take ? We trust the public will have
their eyes upon the man who dares to trifle with
the honour 'and dearest interests of the nation at
such a crisis, and exact from him, in case of ad-
ditional disasters, a severe account.

Naval and Military intelligence.

Eleven more regiments are under orders for In
dia—seven infantry and four cavalry.
About 400 of the 72d Regiment will embark at
Portsmouth on Friday next for Ind;a in the Scotia
transport, whi?,h was surveyed yesterday by the
Assistant-Quartermaster-General of the south-west
district.

Orders have been received at the Provisional Bat-
talion, Chatham, directing Colonel H. Jarvis
hold in readiness reinforcements for the 43d Light
Infantry, 3d battalion of 60th Rifles, and 74th
Highlanders, to embark for Madras, for the pur-
pose of joining the service companies of their corps
in that presidency.
The transport Waterloo, Captain Young, sailed
from Queenstown on Saturday fur Calcutta with
the four companies of the 56th Regiment which she
had embarked on Thursday.
The troopship Athlete arrived in Cork harbour
on Sunday from London for the purpose of em-
barking six officers and 185 rank and file of the
battery of Royal Artillery fur Calcutta.
The 3d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday to garrison that
fortress, and proceeded to occupy Clarence Barracks.
Lieut.-General Thos. Hutcheasun, Colonel-Com-
mandant of the 13th battalion of the Royal Artillery
died on Friday last at Dover, after a lingering ill-
ness, in his 77th year. The gallant general had
seen considerable service, and a few years after he
.entered the army served in Holland (1799). He
served in the Peninsula and France from March
1813 to July 1814, and took part in the campaign.
in Belgium in 1815, being at the battle of Water-
loo, and remained in France with the army of oc-
cupation until November 1818. His commission
bore date as follows :—Second Lieutenant, Dacem-
ber 1, 1727 ; First Lieutenant, October 2, 1799 ;
Captain, April 10, 1803 ; Brevet-Major, August
12, 1819 ; Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel, July
22, 1839 ; Regimental Colonel, November 23,
1841 ; Colonel Commandant, Auguit 30, 1851 ;
Major-General, June 20, 1854 ; and Lieutenant-

eneral, 1856.
The communications from Malta reach to the
28.11 of August, but report litths beyond
the wrival on the 26th of the Boxer steam gunboat
from Constantinople and Canes, and the return
early on the morning of the 25th of Her Majesty's
steam gunboat the anderer, despatched early on
the morning of the '2oth to Cagliari for the pur-
pose of communicating by telegraph, via Turin,
the intelligence from Surz, in anticipation of the
East India, China, Australian, and New Zealand
mails, which only reacht'd Malta late on the after-
noon of the 21th by the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steampacket Vicds, from Alexandria,
and went on at 9 o'clock on the same night to
Marseilles in the same vessel. The Lloyd's
Austrian steamer Vorwarts left for Messina and
Corfu on the 24th. The Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steampacket Ripon arrived from Alex-
andria on the 25th.

(Prom the Homeward Mail from India and China.)
The daisy announcements of the despatch of
fresh reiefercemen.s to India, the long list of trans-
ports for ilhe conveyance of troops, the visits of
great personag, s to the points of embarkation, the
magnificence of the vessels, and the continued din
and bustle of a great expedition, tend to canvince
every one that astonishing efforts are being made
for the complete restoration of our power in India.
People in authority are ready with tabular state-
ment of the number and strength of the regiments
proceeding to India. It is remembered that there
are already in that country so many Queen's troops,
and so many in the service of the Company. The
loyalty of the native armies of Bombay and Madras
is very justly reckoned upon ; and Sikhs, Ghoor-
kas, and many other new levies are enumerated.
In short, no one doubts that, under every possible
contingency, and even though the numbers and
perfidy of the enemy may obtain for them some
temporary success, our final triumph is not far dis-
taut. But it is the duty of those who wish to ar-
rive at the real truth, and ascertain the exact posi-.
tiou of affairs, to discard all unnecessary details,
and restrain a too sanguine spirit, which is, no
doubt, valuable in the moment of action, but must
be never suffered to influence our calculations. We
wish on the present, occasion to take a sober—not,
indeed, a sombre—view of affairs, and of our dis-
posable military strength as regards the crisis in In-
dia, and as much as possible to put ourselves in the
position of a military man whose task it might be to
restore order out of the present chaos.with the means
now available. It appears, then, that there are
of her Majesty's troops in India, or proceeding
thither, 8 regiments of cavalry, 451 of infantry,
and 3 troops and 10 companies of artillery.
Reckoning the infantry regiments at 900, the
cavalry at. 600 men each, and the artillery at 200
men a troop and 150 men a company, we have a
total of 47,850 men—a great force truly. To these
are to be added nine Company's regiments of Eu-
ropean infantry, and 17 troops of horse and 48
companies of foot artillery, in round numbers
20,000 men, with a few hundreds of unattached
officers belonging to revolted regiments, and a
handful of volunteers, forming a grand total of
about 70,000 European soldiers. To this force
must be added the native armies of Madras and
Bombay, the Sikh auxiliaries, some Ghoorkas, and i
other levies, and a few regiments of the Bengal
army which like the 31st, even yet remain staunch.
Such a statement would. probably be quite suffi-
cient for a person without Indian experience and
unacquainted with military matters, and he would
feel quite assured that if even India were in rebel-
lion from Cape Comorin to Cashmere it would be
easy to reconquer it. A moment' reflection, how-
ever will suffice to show the matter in a somewhat
different light. In considering how the vast region
from Benares to Delhi, including Oude, Bundle-
cund, Agra, and Rohilcund, now in rebellion, is to
be recovered, we must strike out of the account all
the troops in the two minor presidencies—whether
European or native—as well as those that garrison
the Punjab. The Bombay army will have enough to
in preserving order within the limits ofits own pre-
sidency, and in sending up reinforcements to Scinde
and the Punjab, so as to keep a good front towards
Affghanistan and Persia. The columns which
have moved en Mhow and Indoro may also recover
and hold those places. To expect further aid from
the Bombay army would be unwise. The Madras
army has also quite enough to occupy it within its
ordinary limits, and in overawing Hyderabad and
Nagpore and the bigoted Mahomedan population in
other parts of the Madras Presidency. Toe troops
already in Bengal are not even sufficient to garrison
the principal points on the main lines of communi-
cation and hold the great cities. Cawnpore has
fallen, and though General Havelock has recovered
it and probably been sufficiently reinforced to at-
temptt the relief of Lucknow, the difficulty of that
undertaking cannot be disguised. The

layn operation, when the want of carriage,
the rainy season, and other things are consi-
dered, that it is possible no additional troops
may be able to reach Agra, Meerut, and Delhi
before the regiments now on their way
from England arrive at Calcutta—that is, the mid-
dle of November. It will be admitted, then, that
the position of our troops at the above place is most
critical. At Agra every third man has already been
killed or wounded, and there remain but 350 Ea-
ropeans to defend the place. At Meerut our
strength does not exceed 700. Our army before
Delhi is, we fear, greatly overrated. General Reed

The H troop of Royal Horse Artillery were
yesterday morning, in consequence of the rain, as-
sembled in heavy marching order in the Riding
School at Woolwich, as well as the dismounted
party of the detachment, and were minutely in-
spected by Major-General Sir W. F. Williams,
commanding the garrison. The A and B troops,
together with the detachment of the mounted bri-
gade, were subsequently assembled in marching
order on Woolwich Common, in presence of the
General and his staff, and, having been inspected,
they were put through a series of minor drills
under the command of Colonel Maude, C.B. The
General afterwards addressed the men, and in-
formed them that nothing could exceed the sat isfac-
t ion he felt of returning to Woolwich and inspecting
the Royal Horse Artillery Brigade—one of the
finest and most soldierlike corps in her Majesty's
service, and he had no doubt they would continue
to maintain that position.
Captain Arthur 0. L, Lewis, Royal Marine
Light Infantry belonging to the Woolwich division,
having been medically surveyed and pronounced by
Sir John Riddle incapacitated for further service,
has been permitted to retire on the half-pay ser-

Her Majesty's steamship Vulcan, Commander
Seccombe, it is reported is ordered to proceed to
Halifax to embark troops for England.
The Rifleman, 8, steamvessel, Lieutenant Chris-

South-East coast of the America station.
The Indiana screw steamer passed through Spit-
head, from the eastward, last evening for South-
ampton.
The steam freightship Gibraltar sailed front
Woolwich-pier yesterday, laden with timber, slates,
and other building materials and stores for Gib-
raltar.

The select committee of Woolwich Arsenal ac-
companied by some naval officers of experience and
a number of the Royal Artillery garrison, as-
sembled in the Plumstead-marshes yesterday, at
2 30 p.m., for the purpose of witnessing a final ex-
periment with Martin's shells. These shells were
brought under the consideration of Government on
the Ist of April, 1856, and have since under-
gone four experimental trials. Yesterdays' trial
was conducted by the inventor himself, who is a
manufacturing founder residing at Blackwell. The
shells employed on the different occasions have
been of various dimensions so as to contain from
nsuema.berTohfe
281 b. to 481 b. of fluid metal. The butt yesterday
was the old 36-gun frigate, fitted out with upper

to pour a stream of water over the burning ship, but
this appeared only to revive the flames, which burst
forth with rabid fury, notwithstanding the heavy
rain, which had completely saturated the timbers,
and which even' then partially continued. After
the utmost exertions on the part of the firemen to
subdue the progress of the flames the pumps were
ordered to be withdrawn, and the ship's timbers
were shortly reduced to a few blackened and char•
