Looms° at the result, we cannot but regret that Mr. BIUMELRY should have persisted in bringing forward his motion on the Ballot last night. No doubt he had a perfect right to do so, having given notice of his intention at a time when it was impossible to perceive that his motion would clash with the adjourned debate on the Reform Bill. But on Monday evening, when it was clear that this must be the result of going on with the motion, he might with advantage to the cause have waived his right. We quite appreciate the honourable gentleman's motives in rejusing to give way. He justly reckons the Ballot an essential element in any com prehensive scheme of reform, and as the Govern ment Bill takes no accoont of it, he felt speciaßy called upon to vindicate its importance at the present moment. The very circumstance that would have led a more prudent and wary advo cate to adopt the Fabian policy of delay, determines Mr. Bum LLEY to go on. He is in fact not only the friend but the apostle of secret voting, burning with a missionary ardour to proclaim that political truth, and deter mined to do his duty, whether men will hear or whether they will forbear. Indifference, indeed, only stimulates his seal, and scorning all consider ations of mere expediency, he emphasises his righteous appeal at the very moment when he knows his hearers are least disposed to listen. Now, all this is in many respects very ad mirable ; and Mr. BiII[LIAY'S consistent and untiring devotion to this question is cer tainly worthy of all praise, especially at a time when there is so much time-serving, vacillation, and timidity amongst public men on the subject. But as sincere friends of the Ballot, we cannot but wish that Mr. BLIIZZLIT'S disin terested seal were tempered with a little more discretion. Something more than seal, or even knowledge, is necessary to the successful conduct of a measure that has to encounter so much oppo sition as the Ballot. Tact and practical sagacity are indispensable in order to secure the beet method and the right moment for urging its claims. "AU things by season seasoned are," and a good came suffers by being forced inopportunely on public attention. This was the case with the Ballot motion last night. What good could possibly come of dis cussing the subject under such circumstances The debate on this Reform Bill having been ad journed the night before, this naturally occu pied the attention both of members in the House and of the public oat of doors. The attempt to create a diversion by a routine motion on the Ballot would neosayrily be to • great extent unsuccessful. It could do the Ballot no good, and might do the Reform Bill some harm. One thing at a tune is enough, and the best way to serve the cause of the Ballot is to help the Government measure through Parliament as rapidly as possible. No friend of the Ballot need fear that a temporary delay in advo cating its claims will be any permanent loss to the cause. On the contrary, the Reform Bill once passed, the Ballot must inevitably soon follow. But, instead of. doing this, the motion last night only damaged the cause it was intended to serve. A whole night was lost, absolutely wasted, that might have been employed in ad vancing ibe Government measure a stage. What actually happened T Incredible as it may at first sight appear, the house was counted out at half-past eight o'clock, on the night when the Reform Bill stood for discussion. This is • phenomenon that needs explanation, but the true explanation we fear will show that Mr. BULIILLEY is himself mainly, though indirectly, responsible for the result. 'Metros rationale of the Count-out seems to be this. There were so many motions ou the paper that unless some of the independent members gave way there was little or no chance that the discussion on the Reform Bill could come on at all. But Mr. lii.ns LLZY havingdeclined to give way, all the other members having notices on the paper naturally followed his example. Some of the motions were of no great public interest, and the Government dues not feel called upon to keep a house for independent members. If the subjects they have to bring forward are of much public interest there will be no danger of empty benches ; but if not, the force of other attractions will naturally prevail, and mem bers will gradually disperse at the melancholy pr. erect of a tedious statement and • dull debate. This happened last night. As none of the notices on the paper were withdrawn, there was no prospect that the debate on the Reform Bill would be resumed, and Government therefore THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY %-oipirENlN LATAirg INTELLIGENCE. • jt,t 4 INDIA•l • THE BUDGE. • Bombay journals of the 25th ult., received this morning, contain summaries of Mr. Wilson's finan cial statement.

The closing of the Fivnmd-e•Half per Cent. Loan, which at present stands at a premium of some 3 per slant. all over India, and Mr. Wilson's hopeful finan cial statement, combined with a new scheme for taxation, which has been accepted, in this presidency at least, with out the slightest grumbling or disconten►, have convinced everyone that the worst of our financial difficulties are over, and that the country will henceforth be freed from the heavy curse of an annual deficit.

The following {germ from the lime Secretary to the government of bobs; despatched from Calcutta on the 18th instant, is published for reend information : A new Customs Duty Bill wes brought in to-clay. The Iterstious are as follows : All twenty per cent. duties reduced to ten per cent., ex empt duty on tobacco. Cotton thread, twist, and yarn, raised to ten per cent., but proved contracte of goods actually at sea to be admitted at five per cent. Tobacco duty to be eight mums a seer on unmanufectured tobacco ; one rupee a seer on manufactured tobacco. The duty on saltpetre to be two rupees a maund.

In the way of direct taxation we are to have both a license tax, in carne the war, but in reality totally unlike that roassorabie tax which lir. liarinaloa proposed, and which Dearly teased smother rebellion, and a regular income tax. The license tax will be levied as follows :—Artisans, Ir. per amain ; tail dealers, 4r. per annum ; wholesale dealers, 11%. per annum. The income tax will be thus imposed :-1. All incomes below 1100 r. go tree ; 2. Incomes between 109 r. and 500 r. pay 3 per cent. ; & Incomes abo►e 600 r. pay 4 per cent. The additional 1 per cent. oa first-class incomes will be devoted to public improvement*. The semindars of Hemel (as well as, of course, the fundholders and civil servants) are subjected to the tax. The prayers and remonstrumes of the Civil Service have prevailed; and Mr. Wilson, as was anticipated, has declared that he does not consider the expense of the service cap be reduced. He, however, thinks the European army now maintained in India far too large ; and porpoise to economise fa ezpeaditure by incorporating en efficient police to discharge many of the duties which are now left to the military to perform. In conclusion, the finance minister tells Luba not to look tel England for help, but to rely oa herself. The Memory, he intim►tes, is full of cash ; no new loan LI likely to be required for • long time to come ; the introduction of a paper currency will increase the mans and provide for the security of trade ; and, wit► her whsle limacial system thoroughly restored, India hes no right to ask from England • versales of her Such is • 'nunnery of tho first good budget that India W ►ad.

Khan Elahadoor Khan has been tried at Bezellly, and sentenced to be banged. He took the matter very easily, chewing opium all the while the trial was going on.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 16th inst., in the Bwrienhalle, says : Our cabinet has forwarded to Paris, relative to the Savoy question, a declaration which napkins while waiting for those of the other great powers, its objections on the subject of the incorporation of Savoy and of Nice. The observations made in this document refer partly to princi. plea, partly to material facts. As regards principles, Prussia points out how dangerous appears to it the application of theories "of natural fron tiers," "universal suffrage," kc. As regards the fact itself, Pruseisi declares openly that the cession of the slopes of the Alp to France seriously weakens the security of the fron tiers of SvritaerLind and of Germany. . _ Naturally, this communication, which i■ isolated, and not supported by any other power, is couched in very mode. sate terms; it mud be looked upon se a protest wailed tlee assesation, ITALY.

Thouvenel's despatches, in lees than tee little month,are falsified and set at nought The Pays, however, which hitherto has been an anti•ltalian journal, contains a paragraph which, though not printed conspicuously, or attested by any sig nature oh known weight, is worthy of notice as confirmatory of a statement which I had grounds for making last week, that the Emperor, upon reflec tion,.had made up his mind to accept the results of universal suffrage in Italy--st least for the moment The Pays says :—" The event, in Italy, although they may not strictly accord with the views and hopes that have been manifested, are, nevertheless, regular and normal, and of a nature to satisfy the legitimate aspirations of the peoples, and to offer guarantees of security to Europa" The Patric of this evening says :—" 50,000 men are about to be levied in Tuscany and 25,000 in the Emilian provinces, which will increase the Sardinian army to nearly 300,000 men. It is asserted that Piedmont will contract a loan of 150 millions of francs." The King of Sardinia has appointed the follow ing Tuscans, who all distinguished themselves in the late war, to be his orderly officers : MM.

The Emperor presided this morning at a sitting of the Council of State held to consider the sugar duties. The Prase says, in its weekly commercial re view : Business is in much the same state as it was lest week. People await the realisation of the announoed reforms before making new perchers., and are disposed to get together as much capital as possible, so as to have funds in hand when ever the favourable moment for operations may arrive. It is, moreover, doubtful, leaving aside the question of cus toms reform, whether there will be much activity so long se the affairs of Italy remain unsettled. According to the Lenoir Coannerentl, the new sugar duties, from and after April lb, will be settled SS fellows :—Home and colonial seer, 14 type, Mfr. the 100 kilos. The produce of Gorda. loupe and Martinique will enjoy a drawback of Sir. per 100 kilos., and that of the Reunion of Mr., until July 1, 1881. After July 1, 1861, the drawbacks will be reduced to from Ur. to 2fr. a year, en as to establish equal duties upon all French sugars front July 1, 1864. On the 18th of April next all foreign sugars, not being European, will pay 28fr. Sugars of the second type will pay a surcharge of 2fr. The government reserves to itself the right of creating as many types as may be deemed expedient. The reduced duties on coffees will come into operation at the same period. They will be fixed, it is said, at 301 r. the 100 kilos. for all foreign coffeassotbeing European, 38fr. for coffees from the entrepor and 42fr. for all coffees imported under foreign flogs. The two war centimes must be added to the above figures. The commercial tarty with England having become operative immediately after the vote of the House of Commons, cairn spesial branches of trade have already begun to feel the effect of it. It is within our own knowledge that several English agents are travelling in the wine districts of Bordeaux, Saintonge, and the TwoCharentes, and have made carders : hie purchases of wines and brandies. A disposition to do I business in silks is also noticed at Lyons, where some English houses, coming early into the field to take advan tage of the reduced duties, have made some selections, which, however, are not as yet very extensive. There is nothing doing at Rouen and Mulhouse. The iron merchants in the Haute Marne are making a tremendous noise about the new tariff, in the hope, doubtler of obtaining NMI Mt of compensation and the resiliation of their retracts with the government for the purchase, at long dates, of wood from the state forests. There is no change in the prices of corn and wine.

But, as • matter of fact, if he had withdrawn his motion other members would most probably have done the same, and the adjourned debate might have been resumed early in the evening, as Lord PALMERSTON had suggested on Monday night But for the motion on the Ballot, there fore, the Reform Bill might probably by this time have been read a second time. The debate itself was, as usual, very one-sided, the argument being all with Mr. BIZIJILIBY and his supporters. Indeed his opponents sanely attempted an answer ; the only replies offered being of the old feeble and outworn kind that have been so often repeated within the walls of Parliament. Lord PAL -311/MITON, for example, seemed to im►gine that he 1 , had settled the question by simply reviving the old distinction between the suffrage considered as a " trust " and as a " right." The noble lord thinks it is a " trust " involving a public duty to be publicly discharged. But this is no answer whatever. Whether it is a trust or a right does not matter to the point at issue. In either case the possession of the franchise involves' a duty ; and the advocates of the Ballot simply ask that all needful facilities should be given for the discharge of this duty. At present it is notorious that there are enormous diffi culties in the way of free and independent voting. So serious are these difficulties, indeed, that a large per centage of the electors throughout the kingdom are practically disfranchised by the exist ing system of open voting. It is useless to talk about the public discharge of this duty when large masses of electors assert that without protec tion it is impossible for them to vote con scientiously at all. It is a practical question which has been so far decided by those who ought to know that • large proportion of the constitu encies have returned members pledged to support the Ballot, as indispensable to their freedom of election. Undoubtedly the Reform Bill will largely increase the number of electors for whom the Ballot is absolutely necessary. And notwith standing the result of last night's debate, we have no doubt, therefore, of its speedy triumph. Mx Court. OSBORNE, MARCH M. There wee no addition to the royal dinner party yesterday.

A Turin letter of March 18, in the Prase, says that the Episcopal Court of Turin, and all the other episcopal courts of the kingdom, have received the text of the excommunication pronounced by Rome on the occasion of the annexation of the Romagna ; that the document was brought to the Minister of Justice on Friday evening by the Grand Viosrof Mgr. Franzoni (that prelate himself being absent at Lyons), and that on Saturday the Council of State declared the bull void, as not having received I the royal ezequatur, and prohibited the publication of it. It was affirmed that the majority of the clergy would submit to the prohibition, and not proceed to publish the excommunication. Not , withstanding the detailed nature of this communi cation, the Promo in • leadin' g column throws doubts upon its authenticity, because it is in direct con tradiction with a statement in the bidipenciance of yesterday, that the Pope had given up the idea of the extreme measure of excommunication. SAVOY AND NICE. PARIS, TanDAY. The treaty relative to the cession of Savoy and Nice was signed at Turin before M. Thouvesel addressed his circular note of the 14th to the foreign Powers who signed the final act of Vienna. The object of this note is to disengage from the question of the cession of Savoy (spontaneously agreed to by the King of Sardinia) not only the question of the guaranteed neutrality of Switzer laud but also the principle of natural boundaries. 'thouvenel explains the reasons which reduce the cession to a simple rectification of frontiers. He expresses, therefore, in the name of the French government, a hope that the Powers who signed the final act of Vienna will appreciate the conai derations set forth in his note with the Name friendly feelings with which the communication of the new territorial arrangements concerted between France and Sardinia has been made to them.

A message of the government to the Assembly explains the political situation of the country, the past dangers, and the motives for the popular vote ; gives a historical outline of the acts of the govern ment, and concludes by saying :—"The government has to convey the public vote to the King, and the Assembly to dealers its work accomplished ." This meows wee received with applause. The Print proposed the dissolution of the Assembly, and a vote of thanks to the government for having supported Italian unity. Signori Montanelli and Manqtuni spoke against the proposal of the President. The former accepts the result of the universal suffrage, but said that the Assembly must already be looked upon as dead. The latter refused to vote the thanks of the Assembly to the government, who, he said, had not done all it could have done to accomplish the union. Signor Panatoni energetically defended the government, and the Assembly, almost unanimously, cud amid shouts of " Viva it Rh !" voted the proposal of the President. ____ TURIN, MARCH 19.

A SNIPS CREW POISONED. About a fortnight ago, the Prussian brig Henrich Gustav, of Wolgeat, C. H. Behrndt, master, arrived at Ramsey, ble of Man, from Buenos Ayres, with a cargo of boom and animal charcoal . The voyage - had been protracted by a continuance of exceed ingl y bad weather. Ramsey harbour has for some time past been utterly neglected if not totally abandoned by the commissioners. The Heurich Gustav, in hauling up to Mr. Gibeon's wharf, got across one of the funks, and se she had no support in her cantle, ', a wl beaks being fore and aft with the river running under her maim, she streimed, fell off, and became a total wreck. During the high spring tides the water Bowed over her deck, and it beam° necessary to remove all her stores on shore, where the captain and crew, consisting of eight individual., wire also berthed. On Friday night it became known that the captain's son, a fine proadan young man, had just did of loskjaw, attended by cramp and violent pain is th e stamsch, s ad that the other portion of the crew were in s very dangerous state, notwithstanding the utmost exertion s of the medical men in attendance ; and before morning three et them had died. — Oa Vatonniaymonaing • coroner's inquest was held on the bodies of Carl Grahl, aged 24 ; Carl Kennies„ aged 28, and Carl Behrndt (the captain . • eon), aged 17. The jury was summoned by Mr. T. looney, coroner of Garff, and swore sad presided over by W. W. Christian, Fey., coroner. of the Isle of Man. F. Tellett, Esq., high of general ; Wm. Callister, Faq., chairman of the justice., and a number of medical gentlemen, attended. The Captain deposed that about two years ago he pur. chased the brig, in connexion with the other owners, at Hamburg, sad that the can of poison nowproduced was then on board as part of the stores. The nature of the °entente was unknown to him. He arrived at Ramsey about twelve or fourteen days ago, sold his cargo, and had afterwards got his vessel wrecked. The can produced I wa s taken ashore along with an earthenware jar which contained arrowroot and other erticies. The arrow. root in the jar had got exhausted, and the cook and men, believing that the article in the can was arrowroot, supplied oat of it what they were short for ouoldng supper. It was mixed with molasses and spiced with a little Cohn, men. Alter the men were taken ill he tasted a little off the point of his finger, and he yet felt'the effects of it in his breast. He was engaged elsewhere at the time, and thus he did not eat any of it. He believed all his men ate more or less of it, but his eon took more than the others. Augustus Bulow, Pilate of the brig, said that on going to get his supper he was told by one of the men to taste it first, as he had felt a burning sensation in his throat after taking a few spoonfuls. He only took about one epoosefuL The captains men took half a eoup.platefnl. He mated the men upstairs after they were taken ill. Medical men were soon in attendance. He was himself very i7l with pain in the stomach, kn. He was mate from February last, when the former mate was put ashore at Remoras. That, mate had told the captein's son that there axe some arrowroot in a tin on board. The tin was not kept with the provisions • it was in the port hole, but after the vessel was wre cked it was put with the provisions, as they believed it to be arrowroot. It had been lying on board for the last two years, with the lid loose on it, and without any labeL W. Bteikmann—Had been cook only when ashore after the wreck of the vesseL He had prepared the supper on the preview evening, and had also partaken of it himself. (This witness was too weak to stand, and was handed a chair. He appeared to be suffering severely, and the medical gentle. man stated that he was yet in danger.) He was the first who was taken ill, but had not taken so much as the others. The captain's sou lout brought the tin containing the hive. dient to him, as he hail not enough to make the supper; he added four tablespoonfuls of the stuff in the tin box or an to what arrowroot he had in the jar ; when boiled he mixed it up with molasses, aD4I added a little cinnamon. The tin box or can was here examined, and contained about 1411 e. of arsenic, having evidently at first contained about 28 lbs. The deponent had only tasted as it was cooking to ascertain if it was properly done. Mr. R. E. Crime, surgeen, had seen the men when ill and the remedies applied, which were for arsenical poison ing. He believed that their deaths arose front taking arsenic into their stomachs. The death of the captain's son was the most rapid he had heard of, as only 20 minutes transpired between sitting down to his supper and his death . . . . . The jury at on gave in their verdict in accordance with the evidence, that Carl Grahl, Carl Kennies, and Carl Behrndt died from taking winos into their stomachs, which bad been tiled is mistake for arrowroot, and no person had wilfully been aeoessary to their death. THE GREAT TASMANIAN CABE. Yesterday the inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate soldiers who died on board the transport ship Great Tannanian was resumed before the Liverpool borough coroner, at St. George's-hall. The attendance in court was much more numerous than on the previous day, and the soldiers who were present to give evidence touching the ease presented a very emaciated appearance. Mr. Lewfonl opened the proceedings by reading a letter from the Governor-General of India, to the effect that in emesqueoce of the great number of troops proceeding from India to England and elsewhere, it was impassible to supply the transport ships with salt porisions instead of freah, and consequently salt provisions were issued to the troop ships. Several papers were read showing that the biscuit put on board war so hard that it Wan with difficult that they could be broken, and when broken had to be s teeped a long time before they con' be eaten. The firm which supplied the biscuits were Masan. Marton and Co., Calcutta. John Worth was the first witness called—He said be was a gunner in the Bengal Horse Artillery, and came home from Calcutta on beard the Great Tasmanian. The ship left Calcutta on the 10th of November. He was in good health when he left India, and was ap powited corporal of 92 mess. Two days after the ship left port. He got a hammock on going on board, but there were two men in his mess who had none, because there wee none for them, and they were obliged to sleep on the tables and forms. There was no bedclothing whatever supplied to the men. The best possible feeling existed between the soldiers on board and the captain and officers of the ship during the voyage. The beef was found to be bed fourdsys after the ship left Calcutta. The beef was very bad, and when cooked smelled so bad that it had to be thrown over. bawd. There was M. substitute. The lime juice was weak, and not fit to drink. The biscuits were hard, musty, mouldy, and maggotty, until they reached St. Helena. The water was black and rusty. The suet smelled, and was thrown away. He was obliged to scrub the sides of the vessel, and pump water. Patrick Flannigan examined—He eaid he waa a private in the 3rd Bengal European Regiment. Be said that George Doherty, a private, who died on hoard, applied to be ad mitted into hospital three drip before he died, but was re fused by the doctor, who told him lie had uo room for him, although there wart plenty of spina timber for berths. The army oMoers were very negligent. Captain Pond refused the men their great-mate when the cold weather mine on. Lieutenant Ganclien hail often thrown the men's hammocks overboard. The mess to which lie belonged bad all ham. mocks, but the next mess, amounting to 22 men, had not one hammock amongst them. Michael Casey corroborated the preceding witnesses in nearly every particular. Mr. Thomas Francis Fernandes, F.R.C.S., a retired snits pow in the Madras /service, deposed that the Great Tas mania was very defective in ventilation between decks. He examined the decks at Calcutta, and found them cline and unwholesime ; and the remit of such a close atmosphere upon the men, who had hitherto been leading a very active life, was productive of the nuntefearful results. He rno demned in strong term+ the whole of the provisions suppled to the ship, and his statement in general gave a most do plorable and affecting picture of the suffering" of the men on board. Dr. Fernandez fully More out all the statements hitherto published, and the wormier is that a single sod reached Liverpool. [The cam was proceeding when our I parcel wasdevateho.
