increase extraordinary. So that the exact amount
of the actual decrease upon the current year in our
maritime expenditure will be as nearly as possible
£600,000 in all—to put it very accurately, it will
be precisely £598,625. At any rate, more than half
a million sterling !—this decrease in the year's
expenditure being accomplished, moreover, with-
out any perceptible detriment to the efficiency of
the public service ; although, as Lord CLARENCE
acknowledges, it is brought about by means of a
diminution in the expense of the number of men
and their victualling, as well as in the vote for
wages to artificers, simultaneously with a positive
and appreciable increase in the vote to be
asked for in the way of stores for the marine
department. At the same time, however,
that there will be a decrease, upon close in-
vestigation, in the aggregate number of men, the
number proposed by the new estimates will fall
but very little short of a total of 80,000.
Last year certainly the total asked for
and granted in Committee of Supply was—
in anticipation of the Chinese war—as many as
85,000. Whereas this year—including boys, coast-
guard, and marines—there are no more than 78,200
demanded under thesa new and revised estimates.
Showing a seeming reduction absolutely of 7,300,
when compared with the total required (and
allowed !) a twelvemonth since. It has to be borne
in mind, however,.that 3,900 less than the stipulated
aggregate of 85,000 men were found to be necessary
after last year's estimates had passed through Com-
mittee of Supply—the service of 81,100, out of
the 85,000 originally decided upon as requisite,
having fallen within the scope of our naval re-
quirements. So that here again the actual decrease
is considerably less than the apparent-2,900
instead of 7,300 being the exact amount of the
diminution upon the present year as compared
with the last twelvemonth. A diminution not so
very surprising under the circumstances either,
seeing that the Chinese war, then a thing of the
future, is now a thing of the past—was then to be
looked forward to in a purely monetary point of
view with considerable anxiety, is now to be looked
back at only with a sense of satisfaction.
Restricting our remarks to-day upon these newly
arranged and carefully revised naval estimates to
their analysis, we may here yet further observe
that while due regard is paid to the national solici-
tude for all reasonable thrift and economy the
interests of the service are not in any way appre-
ciably militated against by any overweening
and irrational eagerness for a diminished expendi-
ture. The Naval Reserve so often talked of
as mustering, so very frequently and so very
reasonably insisted upon as requisite, appears
to be at length so far progressing satis-
factorily that it will be speedily, it is
expected, have numbered up seven thousand
men in all, a reserve for which there will be asked
a vote, which we may rest assured will be grudged
by no rational member present in committee of
supply. Including the Marines and the Naval
Coast Guard Volunteers, who are also increasing,
the total number of the reserve, will be
found to have expanded from the nucleus of
7,000 already particularised as the aggregate of the
Reserve Proper, to a goodly body of 25,000 men
skilled, drilled, and semper parades. The new
system now enforced in the way of training
boys for the naval service—renders accessible in
this manner germs of good seamen ready
for the grafting to the number of nearly
10,000. There are now in this way in training,
9,639—an aggregate which, it is estimated, will
supply nearly 3,000 (exactly 2,900) to the Royal
Navy annually. In stating that all the nations of
Europe are increasing their navies, Lord
CLARENCE called the especial attention of
the committee to the fact that France has
37 line- of-battle ships, 39 frigates, and, with others,
267 vessels afloat and 61 building; Russia, 9 line-
of-battle and 17 frigates afloat ; Spain, 2 line-of-
battle and 12 frigates ; Italy, 1 line-of-battle and
18 frigates—all steamers. France having,
besides 2 iron-cased ships, 4 iron-cased fri-
gates, 4 floating batteries, and 5 iron-cased
gunboats afloat or building. True it might be
true it is, thank Heaven, as it ought to be, that
according to Mr. LINDSAY'S exultant declaration
last evening, all the navies in the world combined
could not compete with the one isolated navy of old
England in her superiority as the recognisably
and avowedly supreme maritime Power upon
the surface of the globe. But the hon. gentle-
man should have recollected while speaking thus,
that this is our naval superiority simply as things
are—not as they may be—not as they inevitably
will be if we neglect to keep pace with the require-
ments of the age—now that the navies of all
Europe are being so very rapidly and visibly aug-
mented. Not alone, as above intimated,
is France, for example, constructing iron steam
vessels of war, but Spain and Russia and Italy are
acting vigorously in like manner. Happily we
have already afloat, as the nation knows with pro
I found satisfaction, the Warrior and the Black
1
Prince, while another huge iron-cased man-of-war
is rapidly advancing towards completion, two
other war vessels of second class being meanwhile
in actual course of construction. Conscious of
which, we are aware, of course, that so far things
are as they should be. We are so vividly impressed,
indeed, with the force of the truth of this great fact,
that we are, above all things, solicitous now in re-
gard to our Navy, that there should be no
pause or hindrance in our advance along
the course upon which we have thus
resolutely adventured. Hence, our instinctive
disinclination to listen to the over anxious cries of
Beware ! Pause ! Reflect ! Do nothing more until
you have gained further experience in the relative
advantages of wooden and iron shipbuilding !
addressed to the Committee and through the Com-
mittee to the Country at large by the hon. gentle-
man, the member for the Borough of Sunderland.

are but a small minority indeed—they reside also
chiefly in a few cities. The country districts, and
especially the great Western States, can have no
interest in protective duties, but rather the reverse.
They want a corn market in Europe as much as
the South wants a cotton market ; and we must
suppose also that New York, Boston, and the great
seaports of the Atlantic seaboard especially, cannot
view with patience a tariff which deprives them of
half their trade, and which will render all their
capital invested in warehouses, docks, and shipping
unproductive.

With high duties the smuggler also will not fail
to take his part in the business; with what unpa-
ralleled advantages a glance at the map will show.
What preventive service, of which the revenue to
be collected could bear the cost, would be able to
watch the boundary of the Northern Confederation
from Chicago, on Lake Michigan, all along the
Lakes, the St. Lawrence, and Canada, then along
the Atlantic coast, then again up the Mississippi,
and the line from east to west between the New
and Old Confederations. The attempt would be
an absurdity. It has been unnecessary hitherto
because the duties have been such as trade could
bear, and the risk would not be compensated by
evading them ; but once offer 30, 60, or 100 per
cent., and an illicit trade would grow up which no
preventive service could even check.
The new President was at Washington when the
last accounts arrived ; but, if the tales of some of
the American papers be true, he has had to flee
thither for his life. The telegram version was that
his life had been attempted at Cincinnati by means
of an infernal machine. Cincinnati seemed to be far
out of the line of his movements at the time. The
corrected version is, that it was at Baltimore, in
the Slave State of Maryland, where a rather hostile
reception had been expected, the plot against his
life was hatched. Some of his friends in Wash-
ington appear to have been convinced that there
was serious danger, and to have planned to bring
him to Washington, passing by Baltimore alto-
gether. Old General SCOTT, we are told, decided
that either he must reach Washington by evading
the danger; or that a military escort must be sent
him. What the exact truth of the matter is must
be left to time to develope, but certainly the
desperate way in which the train which it was sup-
posed had brought him to Baltimore was besieged by
a mob of several thousand blackguards and ruffians
lends colour to the belief that there was some design
against his life. Unhappily the violence of slave
holders in their dealings with each other, as well
as with persons suspected of abolition sentiments,
makes such a frightful erime, as is said to have been
planned, quite credible. If a Southern senator
could almost kill his brother senator, Mr. SUMNER,
what could be too bad for common slaveholders
and their mob to plot against an Anti-Slavery
President ?

I, A ril El

The new President soon found himself in the
same position as his predecessors, besieged with
expectant candidates for office. We are told that
almost every member of Congress thought himself
eligible for some post, that it had been under-
stood that firmness was to be Mr. LINCOLN'S
policy, and that hence all of them were
displaying their firmness in every debate.
Mr. SEWARD is, of course, the acknowledged
premier of the Cabinet, but the competition is
vigorous between one Mr. CHASE, of Ohio, who is
firm for the Chicago platform of no extension of
slavery in the territories, though he seems not to
object to the restoration of the old Missouri com-
promise, and a Mr. CAMERON, of Philadelphia, who
is quite a compromise man. The PRESIDENT is
perplexed, no doubt, by finding, not only so many
claimants, but that his party also is itself
so divided. We trust he will give unity
to them by a decided rejection of any
compromise with slavery. The South has
never made any other use of compromises hitherto
than that of making them the basis of fresh
aggressions on behalf :of slaveholding, and it will
be so in future. We trust that Mr. LINCOLN will
not disappoint the hopes of the civilised world on
the great question now at issue in America.
As for the new Confederation they begin to find
their prospects darker and darker. They are
without money, and utterly unable to raise a loan
on the Exchange at New York ; by Europe they
certainly would not be trusted with a penny,
several indeed of the repudiating States belong to
the new Confederation. They will for a time,
at least, find want of money their chief
difficulty. They have plenty of agricultural
produce—that is cotton and sugar, but,
like other agriculturists, no ready money ;
coin is the great want—so much se that as taxes
cannot be collected in produce, it seems almost
impossible to resort to direct taxation. On the
other hand they cannot rely on Customs for much,
since it would cut off their chief hope—free trade.
How they will overcome the difficulty it is not
easy to see. They have men for soldiers in plenty.
The idle vagabonds, called " the mean whites," who
will not do slaves' work, and who live by roguery,
abound everywhere; but where is the money to
come from to pay them for soldiering ? Want both
of money and credit, and the inherent difficulty of
any mode of taxation, seem likely to be the grand
perplexity of the South.

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.—Last evening, after
the performance of "Le Domino Noir," Mendelsshon's
charming little operetta, christened by the English librettist
" Son and Stranger," was given for the first time at this
theatre, and with all the success to which its musical merits
so justly entitle it.

SPECIE FOR INDIA.—SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY.
—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship
Delta, sailing hence to-day, takes out for Bombay 501
boxes of specie, &e., value £160,684, of which £134,540 is
bar silver, £20,000 bar gold, £5,000 sovereigns and jewel-
lery, gold thread, &c., £644.

DESERTIONS FROM THE NAVY.—A return, moved
for by Sir J. Pakington, shows that the desertions fronkthe
Royal Navy and Coastguard service afloat were 1,639 sea-
men and 241 boys in 1858,1,688 seamen and 185 boys in
1859, and in the first nine months of 1860 2,162 seamen
and 160 boys—in all, 6,075 in two years and three quarters.
_ _

The Northern States have been guilty of a
secession quite as foolish as that of the South—,
indeed so far as it goes justifying the
appears
thaterners
in theirs. By the last advices it ap
the Two Houses had actually passed the MORRILL
Tariff Bill, and that it only awaited the signature
of the President. If Mr. BUCHANAN wishes, with
the least possible amount of blame to Punish the
North for thwarting him in so many ways, he has
but to sign this bill. We fear there can be little
doubt he will do so. It must require far more
genuine patriotism than he has ever shown to stop
the North in its foolish secession from commerce
with England—a secession which will hand ever
ultimately all our trade to the New Confederation,
which will assuredly know how to improve the
opportunity. As we have before seen, the
Southern President has already learned from his
position the necessity of Free-trade to the South,
and the mad Tariff of Mr. MORRILL is therefore a
declaration at the same time of commercial war
with the South and with England.

OLD ST. PANCEAS CHURCH.—A staff of surveyors
and parish officials were on Saturday engaged inspecting
the ground about St. Pancras Old Church, preparatory to
laying down plans for forming a drain and trench for sani-
tary purposes, in pursuance of an order in council just
issued, and a notice has been served on the parishioners,
requiring all those persons who have relations or friends
interred contiguous to the building, and are desirous of
removing the remains, to do so before the Ist of May.

PLYMOUTH, March 10.—The fidling boat Sarah
Ann, Captain Geering, of Hastings, eame in from the
Channel this morning with 8,000 mackerel. On Friday, at
2 p.m., 23 miles S.W. by IV. of Start Point, wind westerly,
thick weather, she spoke the ship Sarah Newman, 92 days
from Calcutta, and the German 800 tons. There were 20
passengers on deck. Both aro bound to London. On Satur-
day, 30 miles S.W. of the Start, spoke the bark Ecliptic,
of London, two days out from Code, with grain from Val-
paraiso for Hull. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam sloop
Bulldog, 6, Commander Henry F. McK illop, from Ireland
entered the Sound this afternoon.

THE YELVERTON FAMILY.—A correspondent of
the Irish Times says :—I think the following facts will be
of some interest to the readers of your valuable paper. The
father of Barry Yelverton, who is the great-grandfather
of Major Yelverton, was a wool-comber at Newmarket,
county Cork. The present Lord Avonmore is in receipt of
a pension of £4,200 a year as Chief Registrar of the Court
of Chancery, in addition to £l,OOO a year from another
sinecure, as Wine Taster for the province of Cork, or some
such place. Those offices were conferred in the year 1800,
in consideration of services rendered to the Government in
carrying out the Union job. Verily, this is a nice way of
supporting the honour and dignity of the Peerage. The
family motto, " 1 shall rise again," seems to have been over._
looked by the gallant expounder of "gentle blood."

The system of high protective duties, or rather
of prohibitory duties, in America is in other respects
the most foolish conceivable. Compared with the
rest of the population, those engaged in the cotton
manufacture in the. New England States, and in the
iron and hardware manufactures in Pennsylvania

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING.

The discussion of the Address was continued
yesterday in the Corps Legislatif. After speeches
from MM. Gouin and Konigswarter, M. Kolb-
Bernard attacked the principle of non-intervention
as applied to nationalities, and opposed the policy
followed in regard to Rome. He maintained that
the policy of England had been victorious in Italy,
and asserted that the policy of France had become,
in spite of herself, the support of revolution in Italy.
He thought he perceived signs of an intention on
the part of France to surrender Rome to Piedmont,
and concluded by urging the Government to adopt
a truly conservative policy. " The moment has
arrived," he said, " to choose between principles
which give life and those which destroy. Let
us not lose sight of the fact, that there is some-
thing worse than a subverted Government, and that
is a government a hich follows a suicidal policy."
M. Billault replied, "The Government protests
against the preceding speech, and against the re-
proach that the dignity of France had been
lowered, and against the imprudent menace that
disturbances might break out in the country. I
shall afterwards show that the policy of France
is Catholic, but at the same time Liberal ; that
it has never been Ultramontane, and finally, that
it will remain a French policy."
M. Baroche, in the name of the Government, de-
nied that France was agitated, and said, "Agitation
only reigns where hostile parties mask themselvesin
order to attack the policy of the Emperor."

TURIN, TUESDAY.
In the Chamber of Deputies Signor Zanolini,
President by seniority, yesterday resigned the
chair to Signor Rattazzi.

Signor Zanolini expressed a hope that Italy was
about to complete her unity by transporting to
Rome the capital of the kingdom. He also ex-
pressed his confidence that the deliverance of Venice
was approaching, and eulogised Garibaldi.
Signor Rattazzi then :ook the chair, and in his
speech applauded the tenour of the speeches of
Prince Napoleon and M. von Vineke. He also paid
a tribute of praise to Garibaldi. He was confident
of a solution of the questions of Rome and Venice.
Count Cavour, in presenting a project of law,
proclaiming the Kingdom of Italy, said, " Italy is
completing the work of her constitution, and is
making herself one country by laws and institu-
tions as she is already one by origin and language.
" On the occasion of the opening of the Parlia-
ment you saluted Victor Emmanuel under the new
title which Italy, from Turin to Palermo, has
accorded him. You will confirm it, as the Senate
has done, by your unanimous suffrages."

PARIS, MARCH 11.
The discussion of the address took place today in
the Corps Legislatif.

M. Flavigny criticised the policy of Piedmont,
whom he reproached with ingratitude towards
France. He called uppn the French Government
to disavow the policy traced out by Prince Napo-
leon.

Baron David defended the policy of the Em-
peror, and pointed out the hostility entertained at
Rome against France, and stated that the Pope was
misled by those hostile influences. He desired that
the Pope should be invited to make serious reforms,
and that in case of refusal the French troops should
be withdrawn from Rome. Such a course of pro.
cedure would, he said, respond to the feelings of
the country. Baron David was opposed, to the
unity of Italy, and thought that Piedmont ought
to accept an Italian confederation, preserving the
vicariate of the Marches and Umbria, the second
Italian kingdom being formed by Naples and Sicily,
and Austria entering the confederation with Venice.
Baron David regretted the ingratitude of Italy,
who, he said, manifested the same esteem for Eng-
land as for France, just as if both countries had
rendered equal services to Italy.
Touching the interior policy of the Emperor,
Baron David expressed his satisfaction. He also
expressed a desire that honest men should alone be
chosen for public functionaries ; that the system of
administrative decentralisation should be extended
and should include the autonomy of the communes;
and, finally, that the press should be emancipated.

The Sardinian Government has sent a protest to
the Federal Council against the pastoral letter of
the Bishop of Fribourg, which contained a violent
attack against King Victor Emmanuel.

METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

To this protest the Federal Council replied that
it was not concerned in the affair, and referred the
Sardinian Government to the Government of Fri-
bourg.

Th© latter stated that the French bishops had
promulgated more violent attacks upon Victor
Emmanuel than had the Bishop of Fribourg,
against which the Sardinian Government had not
protested.

PISTH, MARCH 11.

M. Deak and M. Szalay have been elected by
acclamation as members of the Diet—the former
for the inner city, and the latter for the Leopold-
stadt suburb.

In the other electoral districts the voting is pro-
ceeding in perfect order.

POLAND.

Advices from Warsaw state that the commission
of investigation under General Liprandi was making
most minute inquiries into every circumstance con-
nected with the recent disturbances. The subscrip-
tion opened to erect a monument to the memory of
the persons slain on the 27th of February had pro-
duced a considerable sum. Two regiments of Rus-
sian infantry marched into Warsaw on the night
between the Bth and 9th. Additional troops were
expected. The city remained perfectly tranquil,
and, thanks to conciliatory measures taken by the
Emperor, it was hoped that the actual difficulties
would terminate without further demonstrations.

During the last few days the dealings in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
of a rather restricted character. Prices, however,
have shown no particular variation. Tea has con-
tinued at steady rates, and sugars have been dealt
in to a fair extent at former prices. Rice has con-
tinued dull and at slightly reduced values. Salt-
petre and tallow have also shown slight depression.
P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 595. 9d.,
April to June, 555. 6d., and 565. for last 3 months'
delivery.

Bills to the amount of £400,000 are due today
among the Greeks, and some anxiety is naturally
felt to ascertain whether they will be duly met,
although the hope is indulged that ample provision
has been made for their liquidation.
A further sum of about .£56,000, in gold, was
purchased by the Bank of England yesterday.
A meeting has been convened of the shareholders
in the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and
China, to receive the accounts and to declare a
dividend, and also " for the purpose of authorising
the directors to apply to her Majesty's Treasury
for permission to issue notes payable on demand at
Singapore."
A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday at previous
values. The sales were 8,000 bales.

There is still a large supply of mercantile bills,
and full rates are demended for negotiating them
in the general market as well as at the Bank of
England.

To-day an instalment of 20 per cent. became due
on the New Indian 5 per Cents. Loan of £3,000,000.
Friday next, the 15th inst., has been appointed
a special settling day in the shares of the Trust and
Agency Company of Australasia (Ist issue), and of
the London Chartered Bank of Australia New £2O
Shares, and transactions in the same are to be re-
corded in the official list.
A very small amount of business has been trans-
acted in the market for Public Securities to-day,
and it has consequently presented an exceedingly
inactive appearance. The quotations, however,
have slightly improved, Consols being 911 1 for
transfer, and 921 / for the 18th prox., owing to a
few purchases on speculative account, and the
slightly easier tone of the money market. The New
Threes have been dealt in, by special transfer, at
911. India Stock remains at 221; ditto 5 per
Cent. at 1001 h ; and Bank Stock for account is
2341; Exchequer Bills, lid. per diem, are masked
7s. to 2s. die. ; ditto 2d. per diem, 4s. dis. to par.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
quiet, and prices generally have been firm.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71/ to 711; ditto New,

and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 101 1 ; ditto 21 per Cents.
are steady at 631; Portuguese at 461 ; and Bra-
zilian 41 per Cents. at 85/ 1.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
not been extensive, but previous rates have been
current for most of the principal undertakings.
Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
North Westerns, have improved ss. ; and Eastern
Counties, 10s. ; while Great Northerns, Midlands,
North Eastern (Berwicks), and South Easterns,
have declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have not
shown any material variation. Grand Trunk of
Canada have improved about 55., and East Indian
ss. to 10s.

Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
