Da ToADODOT—Naraft li. Ra....Aftonsok DA Oa LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 20. Tim present Cassczuka of the Escusquza's Budgets possess the singular merit of suggesting matter for much after•meditation and stimulating the curiosity of reformers. The tion of a Finance Minister is perhaps rather to meet expenditure than to restrain it. But Mr. GLAD. STOLE, like an honest family lawyer, never loses an opportunity of reminding his country of the truth of the simple saying, that " you cannot eat " your cake and have it too." He does not abso lutely resist the wastefulness of departments, he attributes the fault of national expenditure to causes beyond his control, such as public opi nion and the advance of military science. But he contrives to impress upon the mind of every reader of his Statement, that high expendi ture means high taxation, and that the nation must blame itself if it endures war estimates in time of peace. It is the fashion with some Tories to ascribe the astonishing extension of the public wealth to the discovery of goldfields; and by the same reasoning to treat an expenditure of seventy millions a-year as a " fleabite." Mr. GLAD irroNs laughs at the heresy of supposing that is decrease in the value of money with in the last ten years accounts for the rise in public expenditure; and while attributing the development of prosperity to the operation of commercial freedom, he is as far as possible trots allowing it to be believed that because we pay seven or eight millions a year more than we did eight years ago, we are, therefore, better off, or, in a word, that wastefulness means wealth. We are confident of doing no injustice to the Crux cruse of the Excuse:lu= if we accuse him of hav ing only a partial sympathy with the habit of high and fast living in a government, and with the disposition of a Legislature to treat a popular Minis ter as a spoiled child, to humour all his magnificent whims, and to forget that a government is the trustee of the hard-earned savings of a patient and laborious people. Sir H. Wrizotroarcr gave utter ance to the feelings of thousands oat of doors, when he expressed a doubt whether the House Gould further sanction the present rate of national expenditure. Nothing has made Mr. GLADSTODI more obnoxious to the race of satisfied political cynics, who care about as much for the grievanoss they don't feel as the itinerant dentist who feels no pain in the ase of the pincers, than his indiscreet appeals to that impatience of taxation which springs eternal in the British breast. Mr. Gianeronz's bitterest detractors will hardly somas him of financial sentimentalism. He rides that noble steed, the British taxreyer, with a light but firm hand on the bridle rein ; mostly on the snaffle, sometimes on the curb, with a touch of the spur by way of " relief." A Deputation comes to complain of • an " anomaly," in other words of some other more fa►oured interest. Mr. thAnwrons listens attentively, converses freely, opens the month of the Deputation, and draws its teeth. "You complain, gentlemen, justly " enough, of the exemption of clubs from the wine " and spirit license ; or of the exemption of carriers " from the stage carriage license ; or of the cramp. " tion of railway excursion trains; or of the ex emption of endowed charities. No doubt hen "is a case for consideration." And the CREAN mums of the EXCRIQUIR affords relief to the suf fering patients by administering an equal does of taxation to the "exempted." The injured interest is, perhaps, no gainer, but on the other hand the Exchequer is no loser, by this admirable method of relief. Betting aside at this moment the larger question of direct or indirect taxation, or the smaller (idea tion of tea or sugar, we believe that—havingmade up his mind that he could not reduce at once both duties, and that pending the result of French legis lation on foreign and colonial sugars, it would b.: imprudent to attempt a permanent settlement of the Sugar Duty —Mr. GLADOTONE could not have conferred a greater boon, or a boon affecting larger portion of the community, than by alle viating the pressure of the tax on incomes between 1001. and 2001. a year. There is no clam more de nerving of a Finance Minister's oompassion and respect than that of men who, if they cannot dig and to beg are ashamed, do nevertheless, six out of every seven days in the year, a hard day's work, in positions often of trust, of responsibility, of temptation, and on the salary of a railway excavator are obliged to keep up the appearances of gentility. It may rm. sonably be doubted whether these modest contaibutors to fifteen millions of Army estimates would feel the benefit of reduced sugar duties so keenly ea the permission to deduct GO/. from the assessment on an income of 2001. The proposal that Clubs shall pay the same duty on strong liquors as the keepers of hotels and coffee houses will hardly be deemed worthy of any re sistance in Pall-mall, or indeed from any quarter, unless the Society for closing publio•houses on Sun day should consider the legislative assimilation of Clubs end public-houses dangerous, and subversive of oafs and proper distinctions. Will the Endowed I THE -EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1863. ----- Charities be equally submissive to the 'die they have so long escaped! Let us hope so, if only for the sake of the peace and quiet which Endowed Charities should always cultivate, for the sake of the pious founders and benefactors to their species (but not to their families) who will thus become posthumous benefactors of their country ; for the sake of the good intentions in terred with their bones, and of the good dinners that live after them. In his glowing peroration on Thursday evening the CHANCULOR of the EXCHIQUE3 expressed the hope that a large reduction of the burdens of the country at this moment would be accepted as a friendly challenge to other nations to contribute to the peace and harmony of the civilised work!. Mr. GLADSTONZ points to the reduction of taxa tion under existing circumstances at home and abroad as the financial expression of • policy of peace, and in some sort an act of disarmament ; and none will dispute the strength and sincerity of the convictions thct dic tated his words. Cynical foreign critic*, however, will probably look rather to the amount of our naval and military estimates than to the reduced Income Tax and tea duty, or the esti mated surplus of half a million, and they will decline to interpret a financial policy that releases burdens and liberates commerce as equivalent to a reduction of armies or of fiesta. May we take the liberty to suggest that Mr. GLAnsroNs, in recommending to foreign Powers the example of • reduction of expenditure, was not excusing or accusing the past policy of his country or of the Government to which he belongs t The French Treaty was signed in a year in which our military expenditure had reached its highest point. Had we wasted only half the money we should be quite as strong, and not more unaggressive. But this is our concern. It is not France that has set us an example of a military budget of fifteen millions sterling ; nor yet is France the model of a pacific Power. The policy of this country is not to be tested by its expenditure. The one is all caution, the other all extravagance. It is to be tested by those prin ciples of liberty, and those interests of liberty, which England represents in the world, and of which Mr. GrAnsroxis is the most eloquent apostle.

In the Senate yesterday K de la Oueronnihre's report upon K Darimon's petition relating to the right of the press to comment upon the debates was voted, as I anticipated on Thursday last, without a division. K Tourangin, who alone opposed the report, attempted to show that the Senate had no right to entertain a petition praying' for either an alteration or interpretation of the constitution, because the constitution had only provided two codes by which it might be changed, L A vote of the Senate on the proposition of the Emperor—and 2. A vote of the Senate on the initiative of ten senators. President de Royer, at great length, repudiated this narrow construction of the right of the subject to petition, and argued to the Senate that they had jurisdiction to recommend to the consideration of the government the suggestion of any private indi vidual for the amendment of the constitution, although they could not discuss a senaeue conauUum actually proposing a change, unless signed pre liminarily by ten members. The course which this affair has taken is bailed by the journals as a symp tom of progress towards liberal institutions ; and within certain sober limits I think it may be so considered. But as long as the government retains its arbitrary jurisdiction over the press, it will always be dangerous to review the debates ; be. cause the slightest verbal deviation from the text of the Monilewr will run the risk of being deemed a false "report." The journals will now comment on the debates with, perhaps, somewhat more free dom than heretofore, but they will not dare to do so effectually and thoroughly. In the Corps Legislatif, yesterday, the bill for amending the penal code was carried by 158 votes to 48. There had been some expectation that it would be thrown out altogether ; but the govern ment at last put the screw on, and it is only wonder ful that the "five" should have been reinforced on this occasion by so large a contingent as 43. Several articles of the bill bad been modified at the 'inges tion of the chamber, but the most obnoxious part of it, which was retained to the last, is a clause re striding the discretion of judges in giving prisoners the benefit of extenuating clic:Lima/woes, and aug menting the minimum of sentences. K Regent St. Laren, an eminent advocate, who generally votes with the government, distinguished himself greatly by an energetic speech against this change in the law, which he describes as "retrograde." K de Parien, the Vioe-President of the Council of State, who appeared as the principal government orator, reproached the speakers against the bill with having sought to relieve the " five " members who usually 'constitute the minority from their state of isolation. This attack led to some smart sparring between M. Jules Fevre and M. de Parien ; but it no doubt produced the effect in tended, of intimidating a servile majority into a vote against their consciences. The Temps charac terises the result as a "painful deception." In the minority of 48 I observe the whole squad of ultramontanists who know that the government will withdraw its support from them at the coming elections, MM. Keller, Plichon, Lemercier, Kolb Bernard, &c. The government journals are not able to give any confirmation of their own knowledge of the Cadiz telegram stating that Puebla was actually attacked by the French army on March 18. Mr. Eliot, passing through Paris on his return from Greece, has had a long interview with M. Drouyn de Lhuys. Tax FEr..vca ACLDENIC.—An active contest has commend in the French Academy between the friends of Y. Lit*/ end Y. OUDE. The whole of the clerical party, headed by the Bishop of Orleans, oppose the former on ac count of the " rationalist" character of his writings, and the Bishop of Orleans has published a pamphlet called, " A Waning to youth and to the fathers of families," which is 1 1 di:octal against B. Littre. it Goixot, who is deocribed by the rechfpenda nee as one of the most furious " catholic' " of the Academy, is opposing tf. Littre. The liberal press I o f Paris, the Temps, the &We, &c., warmly support his no inleatioo. " The Paris Opera House," says the Journal du Havre," according to the credits opened sad to be opened, is to be finished in four years. • report is current that the Commute Immobiliere of Park, feeling the inconvenience resulting from such a delay, has decided, in the general in terest as wall as for its own advantage, as it pommies con ✓iderahle property in that quarter, to offer to the city an edemas of twelve million on condition that the building shall be completed in one year." Advioes from Dauiaecus state that the immi nent which had been excited in that city by the react murder of an Armenian is by degrees subsiding, the soar- Lelia interference of the foreign causal' bevies induced the Turkish authorities to adopt the necessary measures of repression. The snort of a certain number of persons has istiasklated the fanatics and tranquillised the popula tion, so that the great majority of the Chziatians who had departed to the Mountain are now returning.

On a former day application was made for an order on a former assignee to deliver op the papers. His Honour said this was a owe in which application had been made to him, coder the 1 and 2 Vic. cap. 110, for an order on Mr. W. Smythe, formerly assignee of the insolvent's estate, to deliver up all the books and papers. The matter was one for the discretion of the court, and the order ought not to be lightly made m it might be followed by eommittaL The appointment of Mr. Smythe as assignee took place so long ago as 1841, and it was melancholy to look tack in this cue as in others, and see the amount of money that had been wasted in legal squabbles, the matter often terminating in a scramble between the attorneys for casts and liens. Mr. Smythe, who was a solicitor, had at ISM acted as solicitor for himself and the 00-assignee ; =bee gummy Mr. Grestores, of Chancery-lam, had bees appointed solicitor, sad all the papers paired into his hands, with the understanding that his costeshould be &pea dent os the 'veldt of the promedings.

Mr. S;goocl,eabekTalfof the assignees in this case, which was before the court on Thursday, rid that they should be glad to take the same order as was made by Mr. Oommis simmer Holroyd in the matter of Hyaros—namely, that the bankrupt should be taken before a magistrate to he there dealt with according to law. His Honour doubted whether he could do this with out evidence, and that evidence ought not to be taken behind the beck of the bankrupt. The only effect of this would be to multiply antecedent steps, and considerably inereaae the expense. He thought that there had been a disposition on the part of those op posing bankrupt. to increase prosecutions, and not always very suoneedally ; and the increased oast had attraoted con siderable attention in high quarters. He thought the beet nouns would be to take the bankrupt before the magistrates at once. Ile doubted whether there was any power in the act merely to direct that a man should he taken before the magistrates. Were a preliminary inquiry instituted in that court it would anticipate the promos of the greed jury. Mr. Sargood said that if the order, were roolined. is the Bret instance, to proceedings before a magistrate, it might prevent greater expense being unneosenarily incurred. His Honour repeated that the sasigsess seeded DO autho rity of the mart for taking the bankrupt before aniegistrate, exempt as to his own costs. Mr. Sargood—That is the whole queetlon here. His Honour said he was not disposed to pursue the same course as had been taken by Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd, but ha most sea the evidence before making say order. IN RE J. I.
