      Spirit op the Prench Akmy . - — - " We have repeatedly heard the story told among French troops " how men who entered the army in a blouse died marshals . Marshal INOctiael Ney , the ideal of every ¦ French soldier , and King RJurat , were generally- the chief , characters in jtheir narratives . It is but natural ^ then , that the French soldier should imme * We tire as brave men as those with whom the great Emperor led our eagles to glory ; give us the same opportunities for distinction as-were so repeatedly given to them , and we will show what we can do / But in none of the troops was such a spirit displayed as among the French non-commissioned officers . We remember being witness at Marseilles of the most exciting scenes when the soldiers were

      embarking for the Crimea . . Sergeants and corporals were ready to give up their stripes and serve again as privates , if they might he allowed to join a battalion serving before Sebastopol ; and in an estaininet on the port we saw a corporal offer his comrade his entire fortune of 2 , 000 francs , if he could only manage an exchange with him . And these 2 ; 000 franca had not been lightly earned ; they had been the price paid him for serving as a substitute , during six years of harassing Algerian -warfare * ... The troops knew perfectly well Avhat awaited them before Sebastopol ; they heard the stories of . their comrades -who returned as invalids ; they knew of all the privations the besieging army had to endure , and that it would cost many a bloody sacrifice before the banners of

      France would . Wave over this haughty fortress . And yet this sure prospect of privation , want , and dangers of every description did not in any way damp the ardour of these warlike non-commissioned officers and privates . They wanted to try their chance cm the field of battle , and thought they could become officers more rapidly under the Eussjan fire than iii the garrison towns of France . At Eertch ¦ we had many opportunities of conversing with sergeants of that brilliant corps , the Chasseurs d'Afrique , and they repeatedly told us , in all seriousness , that they Were quite certain of becoming generals some day or another . A friend of purs , again , formed the acquaintance , in 1848 , of a young man who was bugler in the Chasseurs , and the pure type of the ambitious French soldier , who was quite confident of . becoming a general . A few years later our

      friend met him in Algiers a sergeant-major , and in the spring of-1855 he returned wounded from the Gfiinea , as lieutenant era prertiier . Our friend saw him in Paris , and he Said , laughingly , ' Six more years of . war ; like the last , and I . am safe to be a colonel . Vive Napoleon !— vive la guerre ! ' And some dozen chasseurs and vpltigeirrs , standing by , joined in the shout , and told one another that this officer , who already wore the cross of the Legion of Honour , and intended to be a colonel within six years , was only ah enfant de troupe , and had first served as a bugler . Such scenes truly characterise the spirit of the army , and we can form a better opinion of it from such than by attending formal reviews , or watching the manoeuvres on the exercising-ground .

      TjtEliESSBPS . Scheme .: —^ Paris letter says : — - " The precious enterprise of M . Liesseps is already declared to be in little better than an insolvent state . There i 3 no probability that the works will cominence in the early part of this year , as promised ; still less that they will eVer be pushed forward with a view to completion . It is even said that the enterprise is upon the point of being altogether abandoned , and a compromise effected with the shareholders . But this is eiiergeticaUy denied by . Supporters of the scheme . ; An immense sum'has , it seems , been spent in preliminary expenses ^ such as advertising , dinners , poetry , &c . ; so that , if the bbneern were suddehly woundl up , M . de Lesseps might perhaps ifihd himself ia possession of a tolerably fat oyster , but the unfortunate shareholders would have nothing but the shells . " ral

      Port of London ^— -In the gene business of the port during the past week there , has been no alteration . The number of ships reported inward ¦ was 113 , and those cleared outward amounted to 105 , including 11 in ballast . Of those now on the berth loading outward fifty-two are for _ the Australian colonies , eight for China , two for San Francisco , arid one for Vancouver ' s Island . The actual exports of British goods continue light . Savings Bamb-s . ^— At the annual general meeting just held of the principal Gity savings-bank , the London Provident Institution , Mobrfields , it was stated that , although the pecuniary pressure of the close of 1857 extended into the first six weeks of 1858 , so that during that period the money

      withdrawn exceeded the receipts by more than JE 18 , 000 , the whole of this , large decrease was . recovered within the following seven weeks * while subsequently ( with but three exceptions ) every succeeding week of the year has exhibited a surplus . The total receipt of the year has been l £ 283 , 849 , and the total of repayments £ 227 , 14 = 5 , showing increase of capital , J 256 , 704 ; 5 , 382 accounts have been closed , and 6 , 759 opened . The actual number of accounts open at the close of the year was 50 , 294 , exceeding by 1 , 076 the largest niiinber of accounts the bank had ever before had open at any One time . That excess has since ihereased tp 2 , 085 , and the bank's present number of custonaers is 51 , 303 . The total capital at the end of 1 ^ 357 wasi ^ 884 , 841 ; at the end of 1858 it was JE 941 . 546 . It is now £ 978 , 396 .

      The New Indian I « oaw .- ^— Privtelegrams from India state that the new loan which has been opened is to be in Treasury Bonds , analogous to our Exchequer Bills , and having twelve months to run . They will be for 100 rupees eaqh . with an interest of a quarter of an anna per day ( equivalent to about 5 f per cent . ) , and will be renewable for another twelve months at i ; he option of the . taker . Gommeroial MoRAi / irr in . Fkanob . —The trial of several managers of the Paris cab company ^ , has recently been concluded , after various examinations , extending over , nearly a whole week . The prisoners were accused of fraudulent practices in connexion with that association , paying dividends out of

      capital , entering into ruinous contracts for their own personal advantage , &c . An immense mass of evidence was produced substantiating many of the charges brought forward \ but the details present no special . interest for the- public . The : company deems to have been as ill-managed ever since its establishment as the Docks Napoleon , of famous memory . "Nothing but a series of blunders and of frauds marks its history ! . The Bireotora jQrst began ; by building workshops , inflniteiy more spacious and more costly ihan they required . They laid out 10 , 000 , 000 f . in the purchase of land , though they could have saved the greater part of this vast sum by renting the ground they required . Then , when shareholders

      grew suspicious of the company ' s financial position , and asked for information , they could obtain nothing but evasive and unsatisfactory replies . At a general meeting which took place on one occasion , a holder of shares asked the chairman some questions bearing on thig subject , ' and was put down . Another shareholder was ^ ven more scurvfly treated , for he was actually turned out of the room . ' And so roattera wqnt on from bad to worse , one manager succeeding another , and the financial position of tho company every day becoming more confused and obscure . It was only when it was discovered that actual fraud had been committed that , the affair

      came before the police tribunal . The various delinquents were let off very lightly . Six wore altogether acquitted ; two were condemned to a yew ' s imprisonment and twenty-five francs fine j and the remaining two were sentenced to even more insignificant punishment ; The case is another illustration of the terribly low state of morality which prevails'among the speculative members of the JTrenoh commercial world . Rapacity arid unscrupulousness oeem to be ^ the aharacterlatics of one-half of the men engaged in the direction of asaociatqd enterprise . They stop at nothing in 9 rder tp grovf rich at on « Q - « fleecing tho innocent shareholders aa long as the operation is poeeiblo , and thon absconding .

      Boabs 6 t ? Tkade RETTiRNSv-7-The returns for the month of January are pubHshed . The indications presented corroborate the impression that , should designs tending to political conflagration be checked , the present year may yet be one of extraordinary commercial pj-osperity . The aggregate , exports last month were . £ 9 , 593 , 423 , being £ 2 , 371 ,-823 , or 32 per cent ., more than in January last year- —when , though the value of money had fallen to 4 per cent ,, mercantile afiairs were in a state of collapse—and £ 535 , 318 , or ^ nearly 6 per cent ., more than in January ,

      1857 . Of the increase of £ 2 , 371 , 823 , shown by the comparison with 1858 , cotton goods alone figure for , £ 966 i , 603 , and one-half of this increase is in the Indian trade r the " British East Indies " having taken £ 1 , 065 , 139 of " cottons , " against £ 550 , 272 , m the corresponding month of last year , and £ 509 , 235 in 1857 . Symptoms Of revival in the American trade will be remarked with satisfaction . The exports of " railrway iron " are now distinctly classified in the Board of Trade ' returns , as the importance of this branch of commerce demands . ' .
