Ex-Governor EYRE.-Last night at s
O'Clock a public open-air meeting, chiefly
composed Of The working classes, was
held at Bartholomew-close, to express
indignation at the conduct of Mr.. Eyre,
Ex-Governor of Jamaica. The chair was
occupied by Mr.. Rees, who briefly stated
the objects of the meeting. Mr.. James
Finlan moved the first resolution :-"That
this meeting expresses its deep indigna-
ton at the conduct Of Ex-Governor Eyre
and his subordinates in suppressing the
riot in Jamaica, and pledges itself to use
every effort to make the perpetra-
tors of such atrocious crimes answer for
their conduct before the legal tribunals
of this country He reviewed the speech
es delivered ct the Southampton banquet
given to Mr.. Eyre, and considered that
it was doubly shameful that a minister of
the Gospel, and a man of such literary
repute as the Rev. Mr.. Kingsley, should
have come forth as the champion of op-
preston and murder. He, however,
quite agreed with the proposal of the rev.
gentleman that Mr.. Eyre should be eleva-
ted to the House of Lords, and that would
be o very congenial place for him, where

AUSTRIA.
From THE Tines Correspondent

VIENNA, Aug. ~.
Although it may seem paradoxical, it
is true enough to say that the term ga
great military Power" is by no means
the same as a "great fighting Power"
If a nation has had It's blood and bone
and sinew absorbed and incorporated in
a great army, and if that army suffers a
crushing defeat, the nation is left so weak
and PROSTATE that it can offer no resis-
lance. Before 1861 the Rupublic of the
United States of North America was be-
low the status of German Grand Duchy
in lis military establishments. 1t had
before the war with the Confederate
States terminated more than a million of
men under arms. The Confederates,
who had no army at all 10 begin with,
had at one time more men in the field
than Austria had in the last campaign.
The value of an army depends upon it's
efficiency in all its establishments in the
first place, but it's leaders must be men
of ability as soldiers. 1t must be we'll
directed, and it must be fit for it's work,
haft and blade, so that the blow may GO
home when it is delivered. Should
these conditions fail it is better for a
State to enounce the expenditure and
the actual weakness caused by the main
tenance of o vast army. Now, at the
present moment there is in all Austrian
Empire no mar with the head of a Won
Room or von Moltke. The work of re-
organizing the army is to go on, but the
guiding mind seems wanting. No man
in the Empire is more diligent and labo-
rious than the Emperor himself, but his
greatest admirers would not say that he
possessed the qualities Of a Carnot or of
q Frederick, and among the many able,
Jealous, and devoted men who serve His
Majesty there is not one who stands in
the foremost rank of organizers, admins
traitors, or Generals great General,
in fact, combining, as Napoleon did, all
the qualities of the three in himself. If
Austria had an army of 100000 men arm
ed with breechloaders tomorrow, what
would she do with it? Impetuous sol
diers would say, "Invade Prussia at once
and win back in Berlin all that was lost
at Koniggratz and Nikolsburg." But
that is impossible. The fatal words "too.
late, have been spoken never to be re-
called. In Austria proper the people
want peace and reform. In Bohemia the
people want a Federal system and
Czechian rights in Hungary several
races want different things and the
Poles and Greats have each and all ONE
requirement to be gratifed. But one
of them want war.
The people who live under the infu-
ence Of a military CONSUMPTION are apt
to think that the army in the field re-
presents the full measure of their obliga-
tions to their country. It is not till the
exactions of a conquering army and the
presence of victorious soldiers in their
villages arouse them that they begin to
think Of organized resistance, and even
then their efforts are vain unless they
have the support of a regular army.
The Prussian Monarchy seemed to be

he would meet with kindred souls and
have his virtues fully appreciated. He
hoped that before he took his seat he
would pay a visit to Barclay and Perkins's
brewery, where, like one of his brother
heroes-Haynau-he would have more
honours thrust upon him than might be
agreeable. He strongly urged the work
ing men of London to do all in their pow
er to support the Jamaica Committee.
Mr.. Cofey seconded the resolution, and
observed that a Tory Government had as
much right to shoot down the people in
Hyde Park as had Mr.. Eyre 10 murder
hundreds Of innocent people in Jamaica.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Mayhem moved, "That this meeting
expresses its deep indignation and regret
that three members of the House of
Lords-viz., the Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot, Hardwick, and Cardigan-shouId
have uttered sentiments utterly discor-
dant with the feelings Of all right think
ing men Of this country" He could
scarcely bring his mind to look upon Mr..
Eyre as an Englishman, as his blood
thirsty conduct was a disgrace and scan
dial to any civilized community. Mr..
Osborn, in seconding the resolution, said
he was not surprised at the sentiments
uttered by the noble earlS referred TO,
because the aristocracy as a body were 10
all countries opposed to the rights of the
people, and prepared to carry out any
bloody and brutal measures against those
who rested oppression. He was sorry
the middle classes of London had not
taken action in this matter. They could
not expect the aristocracy to blame Mr..
Eyre, but he was proud to find that the
working classes had held the first meet
ing in London TO d~enounce the doings of
the wholesale butcher of his own species.
Gordon had always been a friend to the
oppressed, and therefore Mr.. Eyre had
no doubt had his eye upon him. He was
positively murdered without trial, and
the ariStocracy were now lauding the
murderer. What chance would the speak
ers at that meeting have if they were
taken at once TO a station and tried by a
jury of Hyde Park policemen? Why,
they might expect TO be at once convict
ed, and hung up early in the morning at
the Marble Arch, and no doubt the aristo-
cracy would follow it up by "A testimonial
TO the jury. Such things could not be
lone In this country, but 1t was precisely
similar to what had been done in Jamaica.
1t appeared that about 100 ladies were
present at the Southampton banquet.
He could believe almost anything of earls
and lords, but he could not think so i'll of
respectable English ladies, and he be-
lieved from his heart hat those ladies
must have been sent down from Rotten
row. The resolution was unanimously
adopted. Mr.. Mantle moved, "That this
meeting pledges itself to support the
Jamaica Committee in its en~deavours Ia
remove the stain the conduct of ex-Gov-
ernor Eyre has cast upon the fame of
Great Britain" The resolution was sec
onded by Mr.. Henrette and adopted, and
a vote of thanks to the chairman termina-
ted the procee dings-Nid, august 81.

French in Germany left the populations
no peace. In Austria, however quies-
cent the people may appear, they are all
anxious for the happy day when they
shall see the last of the spiked helmets.
1t is otherwise with the inhabitants of
part of Saxony and even of Bavaria; but
in Nuremberg, where the Prussians have
been well behaved. they are unwelcome
guests even among their brother Protes-
tants, and when | remarked to a respecta-
BILE citizen that it was strange the towns
folk should be SO anxious to see their
visitors depart wien they were SO we'll

not be7 Why, indeed? Have they not
eaten and drank of the best, and smoked
our cigars, and taken our horses, and
slept in our best beds, and paid nothing?
Mein Colt Well conducted, indeed"
Perhaps, if one cares to look at it in that
light the presence of even the most eIe-
giant and accomplished people may be
Objectionable; and, for the matter of
that, the Prussian is rather q direct per-
son, and not remarkable for cleanliness
or polish of manner in his capacity of
foreign resident. The exchange of pri-
soners begins to-day in Oderberg. 1t is
stated hal there are only 396 Prussians
there to be delivered up, of whom five
are officers, the number of Austrians in
Prussian hands being, Of course, much
larger. There are thousands of sick and
wounded who cannot yet be moved.
Vienna is full Of them, and the Emperor
has visited several of the officers in pri-
vate residences as well as the men in
the hospitals. On the 9Th His Majesty
called on General Count Leinengen and
remained with him for more than an hour.
The Archduke Wilhelm's wound is near
ly healed, but the mark will last longer
than his life. The navy is very popular
just now, and the Trieste papers affirm
that the Emperor is going there shortly
to hold a naval review. The first con-
ference of the Austro-ItaIian ENJOYS,
in which General Menabrea took part,
was held to-day. On the part of Austria
Baron Burger, formerly Marine Minister,
and Count Felix Wimpffen were present,
and it is affirmed that everything was con-
Quoted in a friendly spirit, and that the
Italian Envoy is quite satisfied with his
reception, and has written to his Govern
ment in that sense.

RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN ALLIANCE
A correspondent of the London Times
writes:
The value of an alliance between
Russia and the United States is being
discussed by the Russian papers
opropos of the recent fraternizing at
st. Petersburg and elsewhere. The
Moscow Gazette says:
''No alliance is possible for Russia.
except one with the United States of
America.
Another Russian paper, the Golos,
otherwise an opponent of the Journal
named, is quite agreed with it upon
this matter, and proceeds:
"Where are the allies Of Russia in
Europe? Nowhere Then let us seek
them in America, and conclude q holy
alliance like that which Mr.. Fox, in
the name of his Government, spoke
of the other day"
AS to the desire of the United States
to secure naval station in the Medi-
terranean, the same paper says:
The nearer the time approaches
1or the dissolution of the Turkish
Emplre, the more do our interests
demand that part of that Empire
should s111 revert to the United States.
when the latter possess a naval sta
stion IN the Mediterranean, the Anne
rican f1ag will be able to prevent the
fleets OF Western Europe making n
forclble entry into the Black SEQ
while our Baltic fleet will protect
American interests in the North of
Europe" N

The Finances OF the Country.

The Finances OF the Country.
Although the politics of the coun-
try are in sorry plight, its finances
appear to be in al improving con-
dition, under the management of
Secretary Mccullough. This is
clearly perceptible from Il full COM
parative statement of the two past
fiscal years, which we find in the
National MteNigencer, of Saturday, and
from which we condense few facts
and figures.
The cash balance in the Treasury,
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1865, WAS 1858, 300; the cash balance
in the Treasury at the end Of the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1866, was
$130, $50, ,S15, which shows a..nett gain
during the year of S129, ,S11, 5O6; but
us this estimate rates the gold on
hand at par, its value in currency
would overrun $160,OOO,OOO.
The receipts into the Treasury, for
the past fiscal year, from all sources,
were 1856, ,039, ,195-expenditures for
same time $51S, 347, ,337, showing an
excess Of receipts over expenditures
of $37, ,691, ,S5S. But this balance does
not indicate the capacity of the coun-
try to pay off its debts, from the fact
that the war expenses for the first
quarter were S165, 900, 900 white for
the last quarter they had dwindled to
SD, 100000. 1t is estimated that for
the present year the expenditures Of
the War Department, were it not for
that extravagant bill, the equalization
of bounties, would be $24O, 100000
less than last year.
These few figures show the wonder
full resources of the country to raise
revenue, and its abundant capacity
to pay off its debt in q reasonable
time, provided we have no further
political disturbances.
