THE SINEWS OF WAR. TmEM INAWM , 8Y9l*r.ty 4 . WT1 TWO GIIDAT POWIIE, LGLAND AND iUMsIA. E tlatne's Wealth. IN. T. World.] The British revenues for the year ending March 81, show a surplus of over £00o,oon st4,r ling, instead of the dellcit which was expeoted. The London Times of yesterday explains this as the result of certain special and temporary causes, but the fact itself, like the resi nation Lord Derby, will doubtless "surpri,e' official circles in lit. Petersburg and strengthen the position of Lord Beaconllieli at hoiie. If one of these facts goes th, .how toe Russians that Englan(l will not patiently subliit to tLhe virtual establishnenrt of a nu.-lan pro tectorate over tle disnernb.tIere Turk shd empire,, the olther will tend to shSrpen th,.ir percrletion of the enor uasons financial disaldv.nuIItge alt which Great Brltain holds thwll thl iisipo tal n Lnt c, is in the story of bt.Ih nations. * * * Wlhen the financial strength ef England is full' all od out to suppori uchll wr as a war with Russla for thei coltilf f the E: tirn question mustt lnevitably b., Rlusia, even though un exhausted by ecllii a sure stru Iggle as she shas just been wnaing, may well h sitate, to grap ple with sinWws so trieloUinous.

In 1565 the capital of the empIre was £6,100,000,00o. In 1575 it was £8,500,000(100. In other words, En land hals beenadding to her capitaalizid wealth or her national estate.at tihe tr Ienldous rUto of £30,000M000 a ye lr. AnLd whereas the gross a·seesd in'.rion of (reat Brit lin at the be Inning of the .einture, when she was car ry on her great wars with Nap.lolon I, was bu £115,000,000, and in 1855, at ithe time of the Orlmean war, was Iut £3)08,000,000, it had risen in 1865 to £3J6,000,000 and in 1875 rose to £571,000,000. These figures, as Mr. GiToen says, are "bowil derlng" in their Ilrounts, and notlhing in the way of politiacl I ,onloiiny can boi more liu portant than a thorough llnvestigation of tlhe causes which have led to such collessal re sults. Ius.ea'sl Bankruptry. Russia already eoeW a depreciation of 41 per cenlt in her currnt pale.r, and the ex change at St. Petoe stlrg expects a declara tion of war with Eng,land tL, be followed by an open national bankruptcy. The imperial government had barely estollshedl an equi librium between its receipts and expeudi tures, after maIny years of budgets showing a deficiency, when tooe Turkish w ir br,,ke out. For the year 1876 the ordlinary receipts were $410,806,000, including somie $8,000,000 of the revenue of 1877 paid in adivancie Ly meurchants who had imported largely in excess of their inlmuediatt needs during the last quarter wille pIlle was yet taken at the custoim-hoLuses. T'he ordinarl'y expeudi tures were $414,563,200, which left a delle t of $4.20,000, to say nlothing of the addttidh to the debt thoun beginning to be inade fr the expenses of mobiliziug the troops called iut!t in expeotation or war. We have biefore us the estimates for 1878, wiich anticipito a revenuel of $440 292,200, including all the aniounts drawn front extraolrdiIIar 't S. iutI.i', such as t he sum of about twenty mi ilions f'ronm the 5 ter cent foreign lon of 1876. I nsmiuch as af er deducting this the amlount to be raised fiolui the people is somewhat lalrger than the rev enue of 1875, a year of peace and unusual prosperity, it will be seen that, with her crops unmarket.d and her labor market de ranged, Rusasi miutt meet a lucre lsed bur den of taxation. The estimated expenditure for 1878 equuls the reeilpts, and is a trifle over 600,000,000 of roubles, without including the outlay on account of the war. Up to De cember 25, 1877, the Russian treasury hadl been called upon to pay $317,180,000 as thei expenses of the Bulgarian and Armenian cam p , the funds havinig been obtained by two home loans in paper of 300,000,0tl roubles and by a foreign loan in coin of 100,000,000. Up ti the present tinme, especially as salr the armistice of Adrianople additional forces were called out, the war must havo cost Russia $400,000,000 at least; andi as the notion of Turiev's ever paying an indemnity is simply absurd, this sum must be added to the Russian debt, which will then amount to about $1,800,000,000, the addition meaning that some $S0,000000 a ear must hereafter be pro vided for in the budget. The Russian leieie. pointed out three months ago that while t he value of the paper rouble was steadily falling the neoesi~ares of life had of course be come much dearer, the arrears of taxes had Increased and insolvency was sadlyv common. In two years the number of casee of bankruptcy adjudicated by the conm mercial tribunal of Moscow--excluding all amicable settlements--had risen frimin 68 to 11$, and their amounts from $3,887,000 to $23,100,000. The volume of paper currency had been inflated one-third, and amounted to $784,000 000, to which should be added such items as the 50,000,000 roubles issue made on the thirteenth of March of treasury obliga tions, which are redeemable in September and bear interest at the rate of 4;, per cent per annum. This is not an encouraging prospect for the rulers of a nation about to enter upon a sec ond war infinitely more severe, more perilous and more expensive thin that which has just closed. The eminent French ecenomist, M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, when the armis ice was signed, regarding the war as over, calculated that for many years to come Ru-si must raise an annual revenue of 640,000,e00 ir 650, 000,000 roubles, which would impose an addi tional annual burden of $70,000,000 on her subjects, the greater portiin of which sum must come Irom licreased duties on sugars, brandy, salt and tibacto. Such a burden must be grievously f, It in a country which lacks the elasticity of res urces found in highly civilized nitinis organized in some sort of conformity wt h tile principles of po litical economy, such as England and France; and it is not surprising that Prince Gortscha koff and the En peror Alexander contemplate the future with less en, husiasm thait the Pan slavists of Moscow or the lieut'enints who are lounging as couquerors abt)ut the cafes of Pera. To go to war with Great Britain, is to court national insolvency; to abandion the treaty of San Stefano is to risk a domestic revolution. ENGLAND'S INT EN IHONS. SgaUsh Oteers matuying the Plan of a Camptgan in Turkey Prepared by the Engtlh War Departmrn'. [London (Orre on dunce Uhicsoo Times.] I notice that Lord Napier has completed a scheme to enbody 250,000 solhliers in India, for service abroad (but 45,000 as at first pro posed), but following the usual cautious plan of the home auth tritles, the plan that so vexed and disconcerted Napole n in the Spanish campaigns, and exhausted him so completely by compelling himll to keep enor mous arimaments on fi.t without correspond ing results, there will never be more than 40,000 to 00,000 men in the field at one tune; the remain Ier to be traiined as fast as may be required to supply reinforcements and 11ill vacancies. he same plan is to be followed, I hear, with respect to the two corps d'armec now ready for service in England. The scheme, as have been Informed by English officers en gaged in military obset vations here, is to Ieep on foot abroad not to exceed at any time more than three corps d'armee in addition to two at home, for any emergent cies that may arise, the labors of the war office being confined to the re Inforcing and mutint.iuuil. of the three c irps in their full force ant efliciency. Greece, it it said, is in Case otf war to furnish 20,000 men Canada 20,000 men, the Indian gRover nment 40,000 to 60.000 men, and Great Britain be tween 80,000 and 106,000. If Austria joins ths allianc, it is stated, she will attempt to sevel the Russian commntliatioins wlile the allies advance from the Mediterranean coast a Turkey; attoempt very lttilebeve4 the tuuiaens from the fa Benohrtu.m a eoure the entraOe of the British fleet into theB lac .a .TMttaccomplished, the aile! dOl.l S IU opllltll ti the defense of their positions and movements designed to harrass and finally cut the Rus slan communlcations by sea and by land. Large numbers of British olcters have been engaged In exploring the state of this oast ard country from A ths to Constantinople. It is claimed by the English officers that their maPs of the entire region until lately known as Eurpea n and Asiatic Turkey are inucom parlb y better than any others extant. 1 have been informed that a commissEon of (Greek and English officers have for several days been studying the plan of campaign pre pared by the Enigi sh war department. This plan Is known to have been in existence for upward of a month; but that Ipotion of it which is intended for the Greeks has only lately been submitted to the authorities here, and as the city is full of Russian spies, the greatest secrecy Is preserved as to the d(et ills. T'he general understaniding is that, whilst preserving liberty of separate action the "Greeks will not attempt oplerations near hllrln except in Th'lcsaly, but furnish a sulle~ietit force to pretecet the frontiecrs, call out reserves to reinforce, and feel the troops in Ithe fleld, and provide It corp d'armer for tranlept .t to sonic point on th be tgoean sea, wherothrlep will operate in conjunctlion with the British.

A SIRIuKE OF LIGIHTNIN8G. Lig htnlrg Mirikinnr In a Dozen Different Parts of a I Ity at the Naine Time. The D)etr;it Free Press of March 27 says: At 5:30 last evening the' community was startled by a blinding lhash and a trremelndoos crash of tlhunder, and it is entirely beyond estimlte to guess how manly personis re marked upon the imnulse of the nmment: "Guess that struck near here." FE oum the re ports which were current upon the streets list night it is fair to conclude t hat the stroke of lightning In question was one of the most remarkable electric eccentr-l.ities on record. inasmuch as Its effect was felt in all parts of the city, while the illumination was very general. The most direct and serious result of the exphelion was the partial burn ing of lire engine-hou-e No. 9, on Alexandrine Avenue. The foreman, 1). Broie'rick, was standing In the west door of the building when the flash came, and not ..ting particu larly affected, stepped into the yard to see where the lightning struck. lIe immediatoly bcwame aware that the lower to the enagle house was on fire, while the roof to the stable i was also burning. Meanwhile, the lightning having burned the fire alarm telegraph wire, the stable-door latches were tripped, and, stunned and staggering like drunken met, the horses, seeing their stalls open as usual in case of fire, stumbled forward to their places beside the pole of the chemical engine. Broderick ran back Into the house to give an alarm and found the hostler stunned, working in half-dazed fashion to hitch the frightened horses to the machine. The work being accomplished. the engine was drawn into the street, an alarm ws turned in from station No. 125, and within live minutes after the first shock Broderick and his hose and pipenmen were half way up the tower doing all in their p)wer to stop the tire. Besides the almost miraculous escape fr,,m harm of the men and horses at the engine.-huse, many other singular incidents occurred. Mr. Foley's house, on Crawford street, was discovered to be on fire immediate ly after the thunder crash. A fourteen-year old girl was sew ing in the upper story of a house on Franklin street, and was rendered nearly insensible by the shock. Wh*-n she re covered the needle, which she still held be tween her fingers, blackened and softened by the ebctric heat, had been bent in the shape of a sickle. A gentleman living south of the Alexandrine Avenue engine-house stood in the back door of his house when the lightning struck the building. He says that with the crash he saw a sphere of fire several inches in circumference leave the tower of the engine house and dart In a southerly direction like a meteor over the wires cf the fire-alarm tele graph. A city lamplighter was upon his lad der near the corner of Grand River Avenue and Crawford street, trying to light the lamp when the lightning came. His torch was wrenched from his hand, his ladder shook and turn. d, and he, very much frightened, fell into the mud. Gratiot Avenue car No. 41 was coting down the avenue, when, blinded by the sudden light, the horse attached to the car turned entirely around, and with his head close to the side of the car stood there whinneying and trembling, and could not be coaxed to stir until he had been loosened from the traces and led entirely around the car back to his place. From all parts of the city came reports of shatered glass, shaking crockery an-l frightened men, women and children, but as yet no fatal re suits or even serious cases have been heard of, although diligent inquiry was made. Punching Citins. There are people who apparently delight in punching ho.es in new or curious coils, or in defacing them by inscribing upon their faces initials or something of th,.t nature. This is all nonsense, and we are pleased to learn that measures are to he adopted for punishing those who indulge in this miserable Yankee habit. The Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures have agreed to report favor ably Marsh's bill, which provides that every person who fraudulently, by any' art, way or means, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, sciles or light ens the gold or silver coins which have been, or may hereafter be, coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign current or are in act ual use and circulation as money with the United States, shall be im prisoned not more than two years and fined not more than $2000; and every person who shall, with intent thereafter to circulate the s ame, deface any of the coins aforesaid by placing thereon, by any means whatsoever, i any name, word, sign, device, character or picture, or who shall utter or tender the same as m ,nay when so defaced. shill be imprisoned not more than one year and tined not nuore than $1000; and coins mutilated or defaced as aforesaid shall not be a legal tender for the payment of any debts. . . .-- r It Isa estimated that over 100,000 persons in s New England have signed the total abtinence f pledge since December 1.

Mary Katerprise ] The theory of our government is that all power resid.'s in and emanates from the peo ple. If there Is any of the old time repubil canism left In the land, now is the time to make it known. The Legislature which has just adjourned was anabortion. Great things wetre expected of it, and in all great things there has been sad dlsappoilltment. The whole people have called otlly for a consti tutional convention, but InstAeid of obeying the exlpressed will of the people, the Legisla tureo has sublmitted a parcel of amendmnllts to be voted on at the next election. Now, It may and probably wi I haplipen thit there will ie a divornsity of opinion as to those amend n,ents, and the cinseq lcnee, will be that the colntitutit n thus Iatheld ill) will be anything but a comlltlete instrulment, and we will Ieaver a lmeagre organic law-neither lish, fIsh nor fowl.

"A'VE KILLEID MY GilL." A Somnambullnt, 1 hlle Asleep, Charging HIimself With Murder. IN. Y. World. April 21 As Sergeant Haggerty was sitting at the de k in the Fifth street police station shortly before midnight on Monday, a pale young man entered the room. "What do you want?" asked the sergeant. "I have come to give myself up," answered the yonug man, in a low voice. "Conic to give yourself up?" said the ser geant, half inquiringly. "Well, what's the mnatt er?" "I've killed my girl," replied the young man, who seemed to grow paler as he spoke. "Come, now," said the sergeant, forcing a smile; "this is the first of April." "But I killed her," pleaded the young man. "I poked her head throught a window and cut her throat from ear to ear." The sergeant at first thought that the young man was drunk, and then that lie was an ea caped lunatic. He asked: "Where does your girl live ?" "She lives at No. 516 East Fourteenth street and her name is Eliza Gleason," was the au swer. The sergeant called Soedial Officer Bissart and told him to go to the house mentioned, Just as the officer went away the young man started for the door. "Hold on," said the sergeant sternly. "You are a prisoner." The young man, not heeding the command, continued towards the doorway, and the ser geant hurri'd from behind the desk and grasped him by the shoulder. "Where am I ?" exclaimed the young man, shudd.'ring and looking about him in a dazed way. There was no reply to his question, but he was locked up. The det-ective returned from the residence of the young lady, saying that -he was alive, and that when he informed her of the charge the young man had made against himself she thought some one was trying to make her the victim of an April fool's joke. Yesterday morning the young man was taken before Judge Flammer, in the Essex Market Police Court, and was immeli ately discharged. His friends say that he is a somnambulist, and that he was und, ubtedly asleep when lie entered the police station. He had been reading of Mme. Restell's terrible death, and falling asleep, dreamed that he had committed a murder. His name is Peter Coby, and he is in the employ of the father of the young lady whose name he mentioned in the station. Dr. Austin Flint. Sr., and Dr. Ranney think that it is a very extraordinary case of somnambulism. From a report recently printed in the Lon don Times it appears that the postal savings banks, under the direction of the British government, produced a profit last year of £245,849, or about $728,000, over the interest allowed and the expenses of carrying on the business.
