THE Opposition seem to have resolved to con tribute their uttermost to the CHANCILLOH of the IfLICHIQUEIC4 success by securing a decisive par liamentary- triumph for the form as well as fee the matter of the Budget. At all events, it is quite certain that the kind of resistance offered last night to the second reading of the Bill embodying the financial resolutions already passed by the House can accomplish no other purpose. And it is difficult to imagine what other object even the moat sanguine opponents' of the Government can hope to gain by this attack on the form of the Budget. That it should succeed is out of the question-11.i completely so, that we venture to nay not a single nwniher of the party ventures even to dream of victory. Having already failed in • combined attack on the financial scheme of the Government at its weakest point, it would be mere folly to think of successfully assaulting its strongest outworks. Thu apposition has already exhausted the popular objections to the Budget, in urging the claims of tea against paper. That effort which enlisted considerable sympathy out of doors having failed, they have rushed to the opposite extreme. Hay ing opposed the Budget in the interest of the people, they now oppose it in the interest of the peers. Theory of the poor man's comforts has given place to the cry of the rich man's privi leges. Instead of remaining faithful to their trust, and jealously watching over the national expen- diture, the Opposition now vindicate the usurped right of the Upper Howie to control the finances of the country. A more unpopular or unpatriotic ground of opposition could not pos sibly have been selected. Such an attack courts defeat. It cannot succeed in the House; and if it could, it would be indignantly repudiated out of doors. We venture to say that the form of the Budget is one of its special excellencies and chief recommendations in the eyes of the nation at large. The taxpayers of this country do not relish the notion of having the burdens they are to bear fixed by an irresponsible and hereditary chamber, and will heartily support their representatives, the Commons of England, in resign* by all legitimate means any attempt that may be made in this direction. And even had no precedent existed for the course the Government have adopted, it is one so completely in keeping with the fundamental rights of the Lower House, and is recommended by so many considerations not only of abstract justice, but of policy and public convenience, that we believe Parliament would not have hesitated to adopt it. But if the speeches of last night at all fairly represent the case of the Opposition against the form of the Budget, their resistance to the Bill is certainly as weak and groundless as it is unpopular. So far not a single precedent, not even a plausible objection, has been urged against the plan of the Government. Mr. MAC DONOGH, who opened the debate, touched histori cally on almost every question connected with financial legislation except the one before the House. The extreme care with which be avoided the only point before the House contrasted oddly enough with the lavish research, the volu minous quotations, and the sonorous emphasis brought to bear on irrelevant questions. The hon. member is comparatively new to the House, or he would perhaps scarcely have indulged in such copious references to Buousrr, PINNOCK, and the historic page generally, in •uppoit of positions which the House was not called to diaries, and which nobody disputes. He gave along and learned account, for example, of what is known as " tacking," or annexing other bills to Bills of Supply. But all this was labour and time abeo lutely thrown away. It had nothing to do with the matter before the House. The House, no doubt, possesses the abstract right of "tacking,"' but it is one which has properly enough fallen into disuse. But whether the House has this right or not is beside the question. The plan of including the financial measures for the year, or the greater pert of them, in • single bill has nothing to do wit% " tacking." And this plan is justified by as long and decisive a aeries of precedents as almost any' point of parliamentary procedure. Then, again, Mr. Msi-uoiroon ostentatiously challenged the production of any authority for the sending up again, as part of another bill, a financial measure already rejected by the House of Lords. This was, in fact, one of the chief points, if not the chief point, of his speech. But really this kind of objection is almost too puerile for serious reply. Of course there is no exact precedent for the relative posi. tion of the two houses this year, for the very reason that the course adopted by the Upper House last year was an absolute novelty in our constitutional history. Lord Joan MANNIZE only repudiated in a rather lighter form the misplaced erudition and irrelevant platitudes of the hon. Member for Sligo. So far we are at aloes to understand on what grounds, either of precedent or policy, the plan adopted by the Government of including the chief financial measures for the year in • single Bill is opposed. Still we confess we are by no means sorry that the attention of Parliament and the public should be specially called to the form of the Budget. After what happened last year it is important that the sole right of the Comeion• over taxation and supply ghoul.' he vindicated in the most practical and effective manner which the forms and usages THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY of the House supply. During the inquiry into precedents which arose out of the rejection of the Paper Bill by the Lords the conviction forced itself on the minds of influential men on both sides of the House that the rightful control of the Commons over supply had of late years been inju riously weakened. Mr. WstroLs, indeed, as Sir Jams GIAHAM reminded tho House last night, not only called special attention to this circum stance in his draft Report as Chairman of the Committee, but formally recommended that in order to regain some of the power that had been lost, the plan which the Government has this year pursued should be adopted. "It must be re " membered," says the right hon. gentleman in his Report, " that the power of the House over " matters of Supply and all matters relating " thereto is very much weakened by dealing with " them in separate Bills, instead of uniting them "as much as possible in one measure, so as to " form the financial arrangement of the year." Sir JAVIS UILARAM gave this quotation to the House, and forced home the seasonable advice it suggests by the most cogent and convincing reasons. Indeed his speech was a masterly and unanswerable vindication on constitutional grounds of the course which the Government has pursued in framing the financial scheme now before the House. The right honourable gentleman stated at the outset his strong conviction that this course was sanctioned by usage, right in policy, and one which the House ought on all grounds to adopt. The fact of usage and authority was established by the most ample and decisive precedents. One of these alone would in fact have sufficed to justify the plan now adopted. In 1787, Mr. Par included the substance of more than two thousand resolutions in • single bill. This Bill repealed many duties and granted many others. A motion made in the Commons to divide, the Bill was, after full discussion, rejected. " In the House of Lords," Sir Jtmss continues, " an objection was taken that their independence " was invaded by such a combination of multifari " ous matter in one Bill, but the arguments against " the Bill were resisted, and it was carried by the " Lords upon a division. This was • Bill which " enacted and repealed taxes." The practice of including the greater part of the financial mea sures of the year in a single Bill continued during the early part of the present century ; and Sir JAien GRAHAM seasonably urges that the novelty of the course pursued by the House of Lords last session justifies the Commons in reverting to an ancient and established practice. This course, too, but gives practical effect to a resolution passed unanimously by the House last year :—" That "in order to guard for the future against any " undue exercise of power by the House of Lords, " and to secure to the Commons their rightful " control over taxation and supply, this House has " in its own hands the power so to impose and " remit taxes and to frame bills of supply that " the right of the Commons as to matter, manner, " measure, and time may be preserved inviolate." What more decisive or triumphant vindication of the plan which the Government has adopted in framing the Budget for the year could be desired or devised ? The Bill wl•ich the Tories are op posing is not only sanctioned by usage, but re commended by manifold considerations of policy and convenience, and it will be affirmed by the House. Contrary to the general desire, if not the general expectation, the debate was last night ad journed, for what object or with what hope does not appear. The great constitutional speeches had been made. Lord Rosser Oxen had, though with some difficulty, paid such tribute as his is capable of offering to Mr. Gianeroxs, and the question was ripe for • division. But Mr. Mamma thought otherwise, and the Government had no personal reasons for refusing him as much time as he desires for making the poverty of his cause more and more conspicuous. gig Court. wurrz LODGE, RICHMOND•PARK, MAT 13.

OST RIOTTIeII IMMO AMERICA. NEW YORK, APIUL 30. Telegraphic communication between New York and Washington has been re-established, and regular travelling communication between Balti more and Philadelphia has been reopened. The capital is said at present to be occupied by 18,000 armed men, and considered safe from any attack. The prospects of an immediate collision are thus diminished. A reactionary feeling has taken place in Balti more, and there appears to be a disposition cn the part of the conservative citizens to rise and take the power from the hands of the mob. The Governor of Maryland has sent an import ant message to the legislature, in which he states that he has used all means in his power to prevent the passage of Northern troops through the state, but that, in reply to all his protests, President Lincoln informed him that Washington was threatened with attack, that the government had resolved to defend it, and that there was no other way of obtaining troops but by passing them over the soil of Maryland. That when an irresponsible mob attacked the Northern troupe in Baltimore, be used all his power to preserve the peace. He states, notwithstanding the fact that the most intelligent citizens admit the right of the government to transport its troops across the soil, that a portion of the people are opposed to the exercise of this right ; that the safety of Maryland lies in preserving a neutral posi tion between the North and the South; and he counsels Maryland not to take sides against the general government unless it should commit outrages which would justify the state in resisting its authority. He had hoped that Maryland and the other border slave states, by their conserve , tive position and love for the Union, might have acted as mediators between the extreme sections of North and South. He advises the people to array themselves for union and peace, so that if there must be war the contending parties may be forced to transfer the field of battle from the soil of Maryland, and concludes by stating that the geographical position of Maryland forces her to take this course, unless the people are willing to see the state made the theatre of a long and bloody civil war. The levy of troops and war preparations continue with great zeal throughout the Northern States, and Southern advices report that large bodies of troops for the Confederate States are raising in Vir ginia and North Carolina. The Governor of Vir ginia has issued the following proclamation : " Whereas volunteers are simultaneously tendering their services in person from all parts of the state, without waiting for orders as they were required to do by a former proclamation, and are repairing to Richmond, without previous notice, at great expense to the Commonwealth, and before suitable provision has been made for their accommodation, and before their services are re quired, therefore this proclamation is to require all companies not now in Richmond, and not ordered here or elsewhere, to remain at their homes, hold ing themselves simply in readiness for service until ordered by competent authority. " Gi ren under my hand, kc., (Signed) "Joins Lrreaza." And according to Washington advice' he had also informed President Lincoln that no troops from Virginia would be permitted to march upon the capital, or interfere with it in any m►nner ; that his object and purpose, as also that of Virginia, is to defend the soil of the old dominion from egres sion from the north, and that he would not permit troops from the confederate states to cross Virginia to attack Washington. A despatch from Harrisburg states that Lord Lyons, a few days since, despatched his first secre tary to the Montgomery government on important business, and it was understood that be carried information to Jefferson Davis as to the position that England intends to assume towards the con federate government. Reports from Charleston state that Fort Sumter was being repaired with the greatest expedition, and it was expected soon to be in thorough good order, and as sound ea before the bombardment. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation for the blockade of the ports of Virginia and North Carolina, in addition to the Southern ports which were ordered to be blockaded in his previous proclamation. A despatch from Washington, dated April 27, to the Associated Prom, states : "Some excitement has been produced in diplomatic cir cles, growing out of the proclamation of the President detecting a blockade of the Southern ports. It appears that a blockade, to be respected by foreign powers, must not only be effective, but that due notice must be given of such intention to their re presentatives. With Brasil and all South American governments, • notice of ninety days is required under treaty. Bat this has not been given by our government. Hence consignments of coffee and other natural product. designed for Southern ports are delayed in their trans portation to that portion of the country, the merchants Mg being satiated of the effects of immediate blockade. It has, therefore, become necessary that specific inquiries be made of the Federal government in relation to this subject, so that treaty rights and privileges be not damaged. The foreign ministers will issist that the stipulations shall be respected and observed, otherwise naval forces will be despatched hither sa a means of foreign protection. The delicacy of the question is apparent, and from what is known it may involve serious ommequenose to all con cerned, and at all event. produce trouble now, as well as is the future. A Montgomery correspondent of the Charleston Currier writes : The Attorney• General, Mr. Benjamin, authorises me to may that the conunissions for privateers are being pre pared, and will be issued as soon as emigres' shall declare war, which it will undoubtedly do. Those intimding to apply for them had better be preparing their bonds, &c. The in structions will contain a prohibition on the seizure of cotton from southern ports, whether in British or American bottoms. The application for letters of marque are ',lmmune at New Orleans. I understand the blockade of our Southern pats ordered by President Lincoln dues not include cotton vessels. There is a report current that an ordinance of accession has been passed by the Tennessee Con vention in secret session. The following absurd despatch from Washington was published by the Phi add/ Press, and has been copied into all the New York papers : Wasbingtaa, April 26. It is stated by the beet authority that Lord Lyons, the British Minister, sent a special messenger to detain the steamer Persia at New York until full devatches could be forwarded by him to the home government. Lord Lyons is advised, I uoderetaad, to proffer to the Baited States government, for the nipprenion of the slave state rebellion, arms and ammunition, and troops from England ►nd Canada. By the Persia he seat out orders fur 100,000 stand of the improved Mimi inakets and fur a vut number of the celebrated rifled canyon. Orders in future are not to be fulfilled in England for the rebel government for arms, or ammunition, or ships of war.

Orders have been issued, it is reported, to the Governor General of Owed& to otter to the United States men and arms. The New York Herald publishes advises from San Domingo, stating that great excitement pre vailed in ;Hayti in consequence of the action of Spain ; and the Haytien government had pro tested against what is termed the innova tion of Spain. It was feared that Spain would be demanding all the territory acquired in conquest by the Haytiens from the Dominicans during the last fifteen years, and in that case the Haytiens would resist to the death. The New York Herald money article, speaking of the cotton crop, says that it is probable tre mendous efforts will be made by the planters of the South to produce cotton in spite of the obsta cles raised by the war crisis, and that it is probably fair to infer that these efforts will result in the production of a crop in 1861, which, though pro bably far short of the great crops of 1858, 1859, and 1860, will not compare unfavourably with the' crops of ten years ago, and which with the increased supplies from other sources will not leave the manufacturing world destitute of this essential staple. Very numerous failures have taken place among the dry goods houses of New York. A correspondent of the New York Ezprrss, writing from Norfolk, describes the conflagra tion of the government ships and navy yard at Norfolk as one of the most terrific sights I ever witnessed ; one of the vessels destroyed, the Merrimac, cost 1,200,000 dole., and was one of the finest ships in the American navy. The other ships destroyed were not so valuable, but very ex pensive. A splendid ship, the New York, was burnt on the stocks with the houses themselves. LATEST. It may almost be stated with certainty that martial law will be proclaimed in the district of Columbia in a few days. It is also stated on very good authority that President Lincoln had informed the governor of Virginia that in case of any movement of Southern troops north of Richmond towards Wash ington, an immediate aggressive attack would be made by the Federal government on Norfolk and Richmond. NEW YORK, NAT 3. (Per Jun, vii Quipbso and Loodosderry.)

It confirms me in the conviction that with the aid of God we shall succeed in accomplish ing the task which has fallen to us. I recognise in the patriotic words of the address the expression of noble sentiments, in which conscious fidelity and traditional attachment to me and my house are united most loyally in the liberal view which you take of your new duties. I thank you for having afforded me the satisfaction which I find in receiving this address, and I give you the assurance of my good will and my imperial favour." VENETIL The Inapendance of yesterday evening says : " Accounts reach us from various quarters which explain the rumours of the last few days relative to the cession of Venetia. According to these ac counts, which we give with reserve, France and England have agreed to propose to Austria and to Turkey the following arrangement :—Austria to cede Venetia to Victor Emmanuel, and to receive, in addition to a pecuniary indemnity of 200 mil lions, a territorial compensation, including Bosnia, the Herzegovina, and Turkish Croatia, and these three last provinces to be ceded by the Sultan in return for an indemnity of 200 millions, also to be paid by the kingdom of Italy. However, no actual step has yet been taken, as the British cabi net, at the moment of using its mediation, seems desirous to withdraw." BAVARIA. The Bavarian Chambers have finally adopted the proposition of M. Paur, which removes the restrictions to which the Jews were subject in cer tain industrial professions. The Archbishop of Munich voted for the proposition ; the Bishop of Augsburg and the President of the Protestant Consistory voted in the same way.

The Opinion Nationals and Temps receive with out question, and hail m good news, the statement of the Indepesidance that Piedmontese troops will shortly occupy Rome jointly with the French army, by way of a transition which is to result in the en tire evacuation of the latter. But, unfortunately, the Pays and Patric are instructed to discredit this welcome intelligence. The first of these journals says, "in answer to assertions, repeated for the hundredth time :" Our information enables us to state positively that no measures have been taken to change the statu quo. The Patrie simply treats the story of the joint oc cupation as "entirely inexact." The Emperor and Empress paid a flying visit of a few hours to Fontainebleau the other day, and it now appears to be quite settled—but arrangements of this kind are constantly subject to change—that the court will remove there on May 20. Prepara tions for stag hunts on an unusually grand scale have been made. The invitations will include not only the Corps Diplomatique, but members of the Corps Legislatif and other personages who have not usually been asked. The Bourse was very firm during the greater part of the day under the influence of higher prices from Vienna. Towards the close of business the Rents was a little weaker, but Saturday's quotations were maintained—there was even a rise of Sc. for ac count. Mobilier was without change. The Western Railway fell Mr., and Eastern, 2fr. 50c. ; but tho other lines were about lfr. 25c. higher. The puffing system is now carried to such an extent among French tradesmen that it must shortly—not break down, for that, I suppose, it will never do—but assume some entirely new form. It is impossible that public credulity can longer support the strain put upon it by the generality of the advertising houses. They all profess to sell immensely under the real value, and 30, 40, and 50 per cent. cheaper than any other house. The common form is this :—" Selling price, 29fr. 30c. the dross ; instead of slfr. 90c., the rail value." But besides the fabulous cheapness " fabulous " is the favourite and most appropriate word—of these houses, they love to dazzle the eyes of the multi tude by pretending to be in possession of a fabu lous quantity of goods. A petty shop, not bigger than a modest house in Camberwell New-road, ad vertises that it has behind its counter, and all ready for immediate sale at a tremendous sacrifice, more merchandise than the Palace of the Louvre would hold ; and the aggregate value of which, accord ing to the figures given, amount to a sum which Rothschild or Baring would be pox_ sled to find. I see before me at this moment a costly advertisement occupying half of a side of a newspaper, which sets forth that a certain establishment, which I don't choose to name,has now on hand a vast variety of items, from which I select two only :—lat. 260,000 ladies' dresses, at from 22fr. to 39fr. Here we have repre sented at least a quarter of a million sterling. And 2nd, 14,800,000 yards of English barege. How con scientious it is not to say fifteen millions, and what strong moral evidenoe the fractional figure affords of the correctness of the astounding total ! The following note bete at the foot of the advertisement, ostentatiously displaying the compassion which the gigantic firm in question feels for minor houses, is a gem in its way : Means.— andeo., having bought up very nearly all the " Foulards mils et imprimes, liareges Ambit, and tissue divers" existing in all the wholesale houses in Paris and the manufacturing districts, hereby inform their brother shopkeepers in Paris and the departments, that, out of desire to be agreeable to them and in order not to paralyse their business, they are prepared to supply t h em according to the quantities desired, at prices very much lower than the above. To-morrow the column of the journal which con tains the above will be occupied by an equally taking announcement from a rival house. Le Temps says that a physician, talking of the great number of lunatics that have lately been ar rested at the porter's lodge of the Tuileries, gave it as his opinion that the particular farm of mono mania developed in the case of these individuals, who all wanted to speak to the Emperor, is attribu table to the concentration of all governmental responsibility in a single hand. " Every ambitious and every discontented man looks to the Emperor for satisfaction or redress, and the instances of madness so frequently recorded by the Gazette des Tribunaux are but aggravated cases of a disease now chronic among Frenchmen." HITNGARY. On Wednesday last, M. Desk was to have read to the Chamber of Deputies at Pesth his views on the address to be presented to the Emperor. In consequence of Count Teleki's death the reading was postponed, but the document in which the count has embodied his ideas has been published. It is of too great length for us to reproduce, but the purport of it is as follows. Three questions are propoeed. L What the Diet should say 2. To whom it should address itself ? 3. Under what form I Ia reply to the first question, M. Desk insists on the constitutional indh pendence of Hungary, whose sole connexion with the Austrian monarchy consists in the identity of the reigning house. Any traces of a real union are sought for in vain in the fundamental laws of Hungary. M. Desk proves this by many citations showing the irreconcilable differences between the institutions of Hungary and those of the rest of the empire. Thus, in case of the King's minority', it is the Palatine that is regelt in Hungary, while in the rest of the monarchy it is the nearest relative of the young sovereign on the father's side. In case of the extinction of the dynasty itself in the female line, the right of electing a King re verts to Hungary ? and the monarchy is dissolved, not being maintained by any other bond than the community of the reigning house. M. Desk de. mends, in conclusion, the actual re-establishment of tae complete constitution. " The King of Hun. gary," he says, " only becomes legitimate king by coronation. Now, the coronation is subordinated to conditions precedent prescribed by the laws. The integral preservation of our constitutional in dependence, the territorial and political integrity of the country, the complete restoration of our Diet, the complete re-establishment of our funda mental laws, parliamentary government, and re sponsible ministry, the abolition of all the effects of absolute power—these are the preliminary con ditions, without which deliberation and good un derstanding are equally impossible." As to the second point, M. Desk recommends that the Em peror Francis Joseph, who has convoked the Diet, and who has the power of completing it, should be addressed. On the third point, he op .es the form of a resolution, and recommends t ha t of an address, as no Diet commences its labours with a resolution, except there are two parties in arms and on the eve of open hostilities. THE DEATH OF COUNT TELEKI. Letters from Pesth confirm the telegraphic an nouncement of the sensation created by the death of Count Teleki. The report got abroad at 9 o'clock in the morning of the Bth, and a dense crowd soon ascembled in front of Count Teleki's house. Many houses hung out black flags, in the cafrfs and public rooms the billiard and chess tables were covered up, and in the evening there was no performance at the theatres. The Pesti Naplo states that, about 8 o'clock in the morning, the Count's servant en tered his neuter's bedroom, and found him lying half droned on the floor by the aide of the bed. At his feet was one of his pistols. His right hand was pressed against his waist and his left was placed on his heart. On the table, which was close tothe bed, by the side of a half empty cup of tea was his pistol case con taining the other pistol not. loaded. The expression of the face was calm, and there was not much blood, except near the heart, where the shirt was stained with it. The ball had gone through the heart, and death must have been instantaneous,. At eleven o'clock the night before he was seen writing in his bedroom, and it is supposed that his death took place between eleven and twelve, as one person in the house heard something like the re- Oport of a pistol in that interval. The Magyar Orzag states that the Count had exhibited extraor dinary agitation for some days previously, and that only the evening before he took leave of some friends with great emotion. POLAND. On the 7th inst., the Emperor's birthday, illumi• nation wan commanded at Warsaw with more than ordinary severity.
