THE Cosr.-According to Paris cor
respondent of the National lntelligeDcer,
the cost of the Eastern war greatly exceeds
one million of dollars per day This is in
deed enormous. Such an outlay, long con-
tinued, must produce disastrous results to
the nations immediately engaged. 1t is
SAID that of $4,000 horses sent to the Black
Sea by France, only 10000 remain. The
other 10000 either perished in battle, Or
through exposure. fatigue aud neglect
The average cost was abont 500 each, and
aeout as much more to convey them to the
Crimea.
