It is of little use beating about the bush— the truth is Mr. GLADSTONE has extravagant col leagues for whose expenditure he must provide, though he does not like it. This, and nothing else, is the solution of all the quibbles and enigmas, and of all the financial errors, if errors they were, placed before the House of Lords last night. Of course, Mr. GLADSTONE cannot say so; of course no member of either House of Parliament can say so—it would not be Parliamentry—but of course the country knows it quite as well as if it could be said openly. Even ex-Tory Chancellors of the Ex chequer like to say a telling thing sometimes, whose truth they could vouch for, while its consistency they could not easily defend. Mr. DISRAELI'S " bloated armaments" he well knows squares awkwardly with Sir JOHN PAKINGTON'S naval doings, yet we are quite sure he inwardly glories in having given the word to the country. And Mr. GLADSTONE'S promise at Manchester to do without the Income•tax if the country would enable him to out down the " present exceptional expendi ture" to sixty five millions, he also is well-pleased to have uttered. Indeed Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. GLADSTONE bold, no one can doubt, nearly identi cal views on the national expenditure. Each of them in his appropriate office would like reduced estimates ; each has colleagues who, for political reasons, want a large expenditure, but each shrinks from the unpopularity of laying new taxes or increasing old ones. The one in office would rather run the Exchequer balances close, and call for reduced expenditure ; while the other, looking forward to office, would first like his predecessor to have left him large balances to play with, and next, seeing the tide turning in favour of economy, he is anxious to pledge his colleagues to a course which shall make him the most popular of recent Chancellors of the Exchequer. If, says Mr. DIS RAELI, the Income-tax is to go, why should not the Right Hon. BENJAMIN DISRAELI and Lord DERBY have the credit of getting rid of it ? The sharp and bitter though clever attacks of Lord CARNARVON, and his defence by Lord DERBY, are all to be interpreted by this key. The wealtby city SoLox had probably none whatever of this political feeling. Lord OVERSTONE, like most millionaires, is a very timid man. He is familiar with balances and private deposits, and instinc tively asks for t h e nation a balance as large in 1 its vast b us i ness a s he expects his proportion to bank customers to keep in relation to theirs. But, with Lord OVERSTONE'S leave, the case is Wholly different. A nation's credit d oes not depend on its iI balance, b u t on the certainty that it always can I and always will honour its bills. Low E xc he q uer balances mean that the mone y the y save is being turned over in trade b y the people, augmenting indeed our customs and excise revenue. There i s not happily the slightest doubt that if the expea. allure of the country exceeded the revenue to Way atttount, any year, Parliament would take the most prompt measures to make good the difference. While this confidence remains, it is surely better that the people should have their own money in their pockets, than that it should be lying idle, or be a source of profit to a wealthy corporation only. But Mr. GLADSTONE has another reason which, little as Lord DERBY likes it, is a thoroughly sound one—that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's only security IS his proverty. Such is the voracit y of the departmentg--of the army and navy espe of the House of Commons cially—such the tenden c y to profuse measures, involving, like the Education and Fortification schemes, undefined expenditure, that unless the Government cashier is able to adopt the answer of the Vatican, and t o reply with a non possumus, there would be no end to t he demands made upon him. If he wishes to soare the nation, ha must take care to have as little as possible to spare. If he allows a surplus, there are too many who will take care that it shall not be a surplus long. The charge against Mr. GLADSTONE is the old o ne, that he has met the heavy demands of his col leagues as exceptional demands—that he has, there fore, relied in part upon exceptional sources; and that he has pursued what his clever opponents term policy by using windf a ll s and balances a" spend thrift which could be spared; and that with all this he 9 ? , st, av , $4, , • • •_ +4o4_ ".• • . • • • THE SUN. has produced produced a budget without a real surplus." The w h o le real question between him and his . asssilants l therefore would seem to be whether the expenditure , should be deemed " exceptional " or not. If it be i not, they must cut drone half the word with which they pelt his financial policy—and, instead of being a spend-thrift policy, it will be a policy of thrift. No one will contend for the wasteful process of sinking a large additional amount of capital for what are obviously exceptional charges. And Mr. GLADSTONE contends that the Chinese, New Zea land, and American affairs, and also " reconstruc tion of the navy," as the phrase is, ought to be viewed as exceptional. Now it is not a little remarkable that Lord DERBY himself last night, cautiously as he spoke on the subject, confirmed Mr. GLADSTONE'S views on the most important point. Lord DEBBY con cluded his speech with the following remarkable words—" He did not presume to say in what direction the Government could effect reductions. He should be sorry even to take on himself to call on their lordships to affirm categorically that reduction was capable of being effected consistently with the circumstances of the times. His firm belief was that it was, but he had not the knowledge which should induce him to ask their lordships to come to such a categorical result. But the Government had before them the simple choice between two alternatives. , Additional taxation was impossible; removal of taxation was almost equally impossible ; it was im possible to contiaue in the past alarming condition of the finances. The only alternative to which they must look—and to which he trusted they would look—was an unsparing, a judieioug. and at the same time a perfectly safe, reduction of public expenditure." These words might almost have fallen from Mr. GLADSTONE himself. They contain a complete vin dication of his financial policy. If Lord DERBY really believes that such reductions, as he speaks of, are possible, it would assuredly have been unwise to diminish yet further the people's incomes that the money might lie in the national till. Indeed, Lord DERBY declares that addition to existing taxation is impossible, if so, what taxes would he have had Mr. GLADSTONE impose, to create the balance he talks 'of ? Removal of taxation he thinks is impossible; if so, the only alternative left is reduction of ex penditure, which he himself demands should be " unsparing." Even, however, looking at the taxes Mr. GLADSTONE has repealed, it would be wonder ful, were it not become almost a proverbial result, to notice how marvellously the remission of duties has already recouped itself. The remissions which have created the new French trade, have, indeed, very nearly made up the loss of American trade caused by the war and, perhaps equally, by the Morrill Tariff. He would be a bold man now who would venture to deny the advantage to the indus trial interests of the country of Mr. GLAD- STONE'S completion of the Free Trade programme by his last remissions. Lord OVER STONE was indeed so ill advised as to mention that he had looked up his old speeches hostile to the French treaty, and was much in love still with them. The Chambers of Commerce, however, throughout the kingdom, and the last returns of the Board of Trade, have spared us all trouble in reply to Lord OVERSTONE'S old speeches. Even our iron masters and manufacturers have almost trebled their trade with France, high as the duties are, and we find at the present moment some of the towns in Lancashire have actually been saved, from want of employment, and from being thrown on the rates, through the:work provided them by the treaty. On the other hand, we hear of no com plaints, unless it be those of French protectionists, who deplore that England should supply their customers with cheaper and better articles than they could furnish. On the whole the drift of the Tories in the debate Was to punish the arch-offender, Mr. GLADSTONE, by fair means or foul, for his mastering the Peers on the Paper Duty—a second object with them was to proclaim an anti-Palmerstonian economy. Luckily for Mr. GLADSTONE the two are incompa tible. If Lord PALMERSTON spends our money too, his financial steward did good service in keep ing him with as little spare money as possible in his pocket. To do Lord PALMERSTON justice, he seems to be studying now the alphabet of economy, and though he will certainly never take honours in that line, we do not despair, under the tuition of GLADSTONE, and an Opposition impatient for office, of his making very useful progress. The alternative that may just possibly arise out of Mr. STANSFELD'S motion about the Expen diture will (in that contingency) be one of so momentous a character, that it becomes advisable to take calmly into consideration the present bear ing of that motion, and the exact tendency of the three amendments that have been now one after another appended to it. The motion itself and the three amendments are in every way worthy of this reiterated and deliberate scrutiny beforehand. Upon the decision about to be arrived at by the House of Commons in regard to them, but few imagine perhaps how very much may be dependent. That decision must involve far more than the fate of an Administration. Upon it rests, more or less, the whole policy on which the British Empire may be governed during the next generation. It seemed so small, so (comparatively speaking)—unimportant in itself, that first amendment of the hon. member for Halifax ! And yet—" What mighty contexts rise from trivial things ;" or at any rate, from what to the less observant or the less reflective, mav, at the first blush, have borne the superficial aspect of triviality. Mr. STANSFELD formally announces that—upon a day yet to be selected, upon a day at any rate, that we know already will follow almost immediately upon the close of the Whitsun holidays—THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE HOUSE THE NATIONAL EXPEN- DITURE Is CAPABLE OF REDUCTION, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY, THE INDEPENDENCE " THE LEGITIMATE INFLUENCE OF THE COUNTRY, That is the Apple of Discord flung down upon the and the floor of the House to be scrambled for between the equal forces (numericall y nearly Government tempting• - regarded) of the blooming and Opposition . It looks so very ! The mere eofin it,i t its swwa we may ni to a y the say Opposi tionsvhetn, gives a new and very fine edge to their already haonladers o f office that same little rosy Apple of Discord th a t makes A k e n e d n yet to appetite t h e for actual e p t u l a a c l e Power and patronage. makes althe mouths of the Opposition water merely to look at, appears 1 (more than probably in its true light and character) as one of the little cinderous Dead Sea f ru i t—su eulent merely in appearance—dust and ashes really at the core ! For—supposing the motion of the member for Halifax actually to be carried in its integrity, and subsequently taken as the key to the policy of a new Economising Conservative Govern ment--could it seriously be acted upon ? Could the limited policy be suitably carried out ? Would n )t those who had pledged themselves to the realisa tion of Mr. STANSFELD'S charming day-dream find themselves rather in a dilemma when they came to realise it ? How ? By perfecting the National Defences at once, of course, and by—simultaneously with the acxonaplishment of a.','! Heicolcan labour —diminishing the extent of our annual taxation appreciably, retrenching by wholesale, and drop ping the Income-tax ! Nevertheless, as things are, 'we cannot seriously marvel at heart that the Oppo sition and the Government should appear to be taking just now such totally opposite views of this motion of Mr. STANSFELD e cannot wonder that the ambition of those who are " out" should induce them to behold nothing but a bonne bouche in that Apple of Discord that they are con sequently so very eager to swallow. Nor can we wonder again, on the other hand, that to those who are in it should seem to be the most nauseous little mouthful imaginable : so that they are only eager to quash it altogether, and that summarily. But, the original motion of Mr. STANSFELD having been notified, it becomes now a matter of peculiar interest to observe anew the precise charac ter of the three remarkable amendments that are announced to follow it. The amendment of the right hon. member for Stroud—the amendment of the noble lord the member for Huntingdonshire— the amendment of the noble viscount at the head of the Government. They are worth looking at very carefully these three amendments. The exact wording of each—seeing how much may depend upon one or another of them—is deserv ing of the minutest scrutiny and of a very cautious comparison. For the purpose of affording our readers the readiest access to which labour of love, in the way of analysis first and comparison afterwards, we here give in succession these three important amendments. Mr. HORSMAN'S amendment,* it should be borne n mind, then declares : " That the House while deeply impressed with the neces sity of economy in every deportment of the State, and especially mindful of that necessity in the present condition of the country and its finances, is of cpinion that the sums voted under the present and late Administrations for the military and naval services of the country have not been greater than are required for its security at home, and the protection of interests abroad." * Mr. Griffith has given notice of the following as an amendment to Mr. Horsman's amendment :—To leave out all the words after "its finances," and to insert the words " will always be ready to make every pecuniary sacrifice that may be necessary to maintain the honour, the interests and the independence of the country." Lord ROBERT MONTAGU'S amendment, on the other hand, avows : "That her MAJESTY' S Government alone are responsible alone are responsible to the House for the supplies which her MAJESTY asks the House to grant, and that this House alone is responsibile for the sums which have been voted." Lord PALMERSTON'S amendment (only placed upon the table of the House last evening) declaring : " That this House, deeply impressed with the necessity of economy in every department of the state, is at the same time mindful of its obligation to provide for the security of the country at home and the protection of its interests abroad. That this House observes with satisfaction the decrease which has already been effected in the nationa expenditure, and trusts that such further diminution may be made therein as the future state of things may warrant." The Premier's amendment thus given, thus worded, cannot but be looked upon as a very bold and resolute simplification of what threatened to remain, up to the moment of division, singularly complex and entangled. By the noble Premier's annonncement of this amendment of his, the question virtually becomes raised to the importance of one of confidence or of no confidence in her MAJESTY'S present Govern ment. If the Opposition have been bent all this while upon putting forth their whole strength (as is probable) upon the furtherance of their newly discovered economic policy—Ministers have now (through the amendment of their chief) frankly pro claimed their determination to maintain the perfect consistency of their own twofold policy (a policy, re member, not by any means merely of yesterday), their policy as Liberal Economists, and as Patriotic Englishmen. A consistent and comprehensive policy in itself—leading them gradually to remit taxation whenever it can by possibility be re mitted, and yet so effectually and comprehensively to care for the efficiency of the national defences, that to their view (even as economists) the cost of these defences becomes a matter of secondary con sideration. The season at Baden-Baden has commenced, the Queen of Prussia being the first to arrive of the many royal personages expected this year. _ Enormous quantities of mackerel are now being caught off the back of the Isle of Wight. The Royal Academy announce that on Monday the exhibition will open every evening from half-past seven till half-past 10, and this regulation will continue till fur ther notice. The Temps says :—" The picture of M. Ingres, ' Christ in the midst of the Doctors,' has been purchased by the Emperor at the price of 150,000 f. This picture is signed : Ingres /'edit, anno cetatis sum, Messrs. Waring, Brothers, have received a tele gram stating that the third section of the Pernambuco Railway, in Brazil, and a part of the fourth section to Gameleira, were opened for public traffic on the 12th inst. There are 5,000 bales of cotton, several thousand hogsheads of sugar, and 20,000 barrels of molasses, now lying upon the levee at Memphis, of which the cotton will be burnt, and the sugar and molasses rolled into the river, on the approach of the national forces. The last letters from Calcutta mention that Mr. Laing is expected to leave India about the 9th of June and to arrive here in July, in consequence of the opinion of his medical advisers that it would not be safe for him to remain in India during the rains. FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT BILSTON. —SEVEN LIVES LOST.—WOLVERHAMPTON, May 30. Four men and three boys, all colliers, perished at Bilston this afternoon, by an inundation at the Bradley Colliery of Messrs. G. B. Thorneycroft and Co. Fire bodies unre covered at ten o'clock. THE LUDGATE-HILL TRAGEDY,—Upon inquiry yesterday it was ascertained that Mrs. Vyse continues to improve, and the medical men have strong hopes of the un fortunate woman's recovery. A favourable change has also taken place in the health of Mr. Vyse. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following gentlemen passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, May 29 verard William Denton, Ivy-lodge, Hornsea, Hull; James li - eorge Iting, Havant, Hampshire; Walter Rickards, Cosley, Leicestershire ; Theodore Bloementhal, Canterbury-row, Bennington; Julian L.

The Tynemouth magistrates, 011 Thursday, com mitted Mr. Cotton, a solicitor of that town, to Morpeth Gaol for two months, on a charge of violently assaulting his wife, and ordered him at the expiration of his term of imprison ment to be bound over to keep the peace. From the posi tion of the parties the case . occasioned a little excitement, but the general opinion seemed to be that the delinquent had been dealt with according to his merits. — HOP INTELLIGENCE. —EAST RETFORD, May 29. —The present state of the weather is producing a great and beneficial effect upon the growing crops of hopes. The bines are running amazingly and the foliage is looking re markably healthy and strong. Here and there a few fly have been reported, but not to an extent as to cause uneasi ness as to future consequences. The hope trade here, as elsewhere ; is in a very stagnant state, owing to the changes about to be effected, and it is almost impossible to quote prices. - WEALTH OF GREAT MEN OF ANTIQUITY.— Croesus had an estate equal to £1,700,000, besides a scarcely less amount in money, slaves, and furniture. The philo sopher Seneca had a property valued at £3,000,000, and Lentulus the friend of Cicero, was paid to be v orth £3,500,00. The Emperor Tiberius left at his deat a above £23,500,000, which Caligula, his successor, succeeded in squandering in less than a year. Caesar, before he had been promoted to any high office, owned nearly £3,000,000. Apicius spent in dissipation £500,003, and finding, on look ing into his affairs that he had only £BOO,OOO, he poisoned himself, not regarding the sum as sufficient for his main* tenanee.

The Southern President has announced that even if Richmond be taken, which he does not anticipate, Virginia will not be abandoned, and that the war can be carried on in that Stcte for 20 years if necessary. In the action before Fort rarling the Galena was pierced by 18 steel-pointed shot out of 28 fired into her. The bursting of the Nangatuck's Parrot gun caused a loss of 17 men. Arter a battle of four hours the flotilla was forced to retire beyond the reach of the enemy's guns. There is no news from Corinth.

The Venerable Duke de San Miguel is so ill as to have received the Sacra ment ; all hopes of his recovery are abandoned. The Epoca says:— " We learn, from persons well informed on the subject, that a recent long conference between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the French Am bassador was considered very satisfactory, candid explanations having been given on both sides. We rejoice at it, for we are anxious t o see good har mony maintained between the two nations. In fact, if our patriotism counsels us to observe a policy of dignified neutrality, it is opposed to the adven turous spirit of those who would, ')y their impru dence, lead to conflicts disastrous to our country." BURNTISLAND.—ESCAPADES OF THE ST. GEORGE MEN.—During the hours of Divine service on Sunday last, while the men were on shore, several very questionable acts were committed in the town and vicinity. A few jolly tars gathered the cows grazing on the links together in a corner, and milked them to the extent of several pitchersful, quaff ing the creamy liquid almost as it flowed amidst joke and merriment. Having drained the cows, th e y proceeded to the crescent and terrace fronting the links, leaped railings and walls, and spoiled the gardens of their flowers—enor mous bunches of which they stuck in their buttonholes. In Borne instances, the inmates good-naturedly plucked and handed them bouquets—Jack profusely returning his beni sons. Another party entered a Temperance Hotel in the High-street, and, notwithstanding every remonstrance of the keeper, took possession, and turned the place into a grog -shop. Teetotalism for the nonce was at a discount, liquid stronger than milk was smuggled in, and flowed freely. JOHN LEECH'S GALLERY. PRIVATE "VIEW-THIS DAY. A. delightful stroll we have had this forenoon round one of the large rooms in the Egyptian Hall, " laughing in our sleeve" as we walked. And who could help laughing—even the gravest, even the most smileless ? For there, disposed along the walls of that apartment, in a double row, are about a hundred of the very pick of the rarest bits of fun, pencilled by John Leech, and taken from Mr. Punch's celebrated Collection. The original "Sketches in Oil" they are of pictures that are familiar to us all, pictures that we have often roared at the eight of, pictures the mere recollec tion of which has occasionally disturbed our gra vity rather painfully in scenes, and at times when to laugh, or even smile, however covertly, is in the very last degree an indecorum. Can any one, let us ask, preserve a demure countenance, when he looks at or even thinks of that wonderful sketch by Leech (No. 19), entitled " Putting his foot in it !" When the irritated gentleman flames out so infuriatedly against the Pale-faced Hairdresser— " Thin at the top, sir ? I'll thin your top, sir !" Or (N 0.17) that dinin g-room scene re presen tin g Mr. Bot tles the Butler—all but transfixed against the door pannelling—by the knives dexterously flung within an inch of him by Master Hopeful, in practical il lustration of the Chinese knife trick. There is a marvellously clever morsel of serio-comedy upon horseback, in No. 28, by the way—where Jones is represented as trying his new hack, "as quiet as a lamb—just about !" Has anyone who ever glanced at the woodcut of it in Punch, yet lost a remembrance of that delicious double barrelled shot at folly as it flies—sometimes—at the Opera ? where Lizzy (in the Box) is saying to her sister, " There is that ridiculous little man again ; do look ; how very absurd !" And where poor little Busby, down below—leaning against the back of the pit, and gazing up sentimentally in the most preposterous of lackadaisical attitudes, is soliloquising to himself—" Ah ! there she is again—dear girl !—and looking this way, too : it is evident she admires me." For an example of what the farce-writers of the Adelphi call a " genuine screamer"commen d us to No. 54, the famous sketch of the Irritable Gentleman, disturbed by the Blue Bottle—the gentleman himself dishe velled, the room a chaos, "the blue fly singing (still) i' the pane," distractingly, maddeningly ! " Cupid at Sea," too (No. 48) is a delectable glimpse of Love strong in sea-sickness. Edwin and Angelina being the dramatis person.. Close beside which sea-piece is the memora ble bathing scene of Master Franky, a dear little naked imp, saving that he has one shoe and sock on, exceedingly fractious, brandishing a hair brush and evidently bent with all his small might upon not going to " his own Marthar," the bathing woman. Enough, however, when we have commended all who dearly love a laugh (and who does not ?) to pay a visit on Monday next or any day afterwards to this truly delightful Gallery, containing within it—as it does—the cream of the jokes of our London Charivari, the outpourings of the humerous genius of John Leech ! An artist whose genius beyond that of all other contributors, literary or pictorial, has constituted in truth the " spirit," " flavour," vitality, and exhileration of that pleasant intellectual tipple known, and quaffed and relished during all these years under the title of Punch, WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Admiral Sir John West, G.C.8., of Eaton-square, Admiral of the Fleet, was proved in London on the 001 inst., the executors nominated being his sons, Commander Alexander George West, R.N., and Major Frederick West, together with his daughters, Misses Harriett, Sophia, and Jane West, the executrixes. The personalty was swot.* under £90,000. This venerable and gallant Admiral attained to the great age of 88. He en tered the naval service at the early age of 14; and, in the spirit of true patriotic feeling, in after life de dicated his three sons to the service of his country. Admiral Sir John West died possessed of consider able real and personal property, and the will, with the exception a a few legacies to servants, and charitable bequests, is purely in favour of his family. The testator was left a widower in March, 1858. His will, which is of considerable length, was executed in January, 1860, and a codicil in April last. The eldest son, Lieutenant- Colonel John Temple West, Grenadier Guards, takes estates under settlement ; all other estates and per sonal property are bequeathed amongst the testa tor's other children in certain proportions. To the testator's grandson, Temple de la. Pole West, a sum of £lO,OOO is left in trust, the interest to be applied for his maintenance and education, directing his trustees to place his grandson at either Winches ter or Harrow public schools preparatory to his entering one of the Universities, Oxford or Cam bridge; and on his attaining 24 he is to come into possession of the interest for his own use, the principal being settled on his issue. The chari table bequests are £l5O to the Royal Naval School, £lOO to the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, and £5O to the Seamen's Hospital Society. The lega cies to the servants are liberal. These latter lega cies are to be paid free of duty. The will of Lieutenant-General Wm. Fergusson, Royal Marines, who died at his residence, Princes street, Hanover-square, was proved in London by his nephew, W. Fergusson, Esq., F.R.S., F.R.S.E., of George-street, Hanover-square, sole executor. This General officer, who attained to high rank in that distinguished and valuable arm of our service, had, for some time previous to his decease, retired on full pay. His will, which is very brief, disposes of his entire property to his nephew and executor, Wm. Fergusson, Esq., for his own absolute use and benefit. The will of Wm. Wyndham, Esq., of Dinton, Wilts, was proved in London, on the 24th ult., under £14,000 personalty, the executors therein appointed being his wife, Ellen Wyndham; his eldest son, Wm. Wyndham, Esq.; and his brother-in-law, Eustace Heathcote, Esq. The will bears date March, 1854, and is of moderate dimensions ; the disposi tions are entirely confined to the members of his family. He has devised his freehold estates at Ditton and Sutton Mandeville, together with his manors and farms of Norrington and True, in the county of Wilts, to his eldest son, subject to certain charges under settlement in favour of younger children, to whom, with appointments and bequests that will fall in on the demise of his relict, will realise to each of them a sum of £5,004. The remainder of his property he leaves to his elder son, whom he appoints residuary legatee. The testator, who at tained to the age of sixty-six, was a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Wilts, and late Major of the Wilts Yeomanry, and was formerly M.P. for South Wilts.—lllustrated London News. THE APPROACHING BATTLE AT CORINTH.—For a week or more there have been majority and minority re ports about the evacuation of Corinth. Prisoners, deserters, and spies have furnished the intelligence day after day that Beauregard thought of leaving ; that he was preparing to leave, and that he had left. Prisoners, deserters, and spies brought the news day after day that he had not gone, was making no preparations to leave, and had no intention of leaving. The Memphis Argus read Beauregard a long lec ture for sending large numbers of his army South and West, and General Bragg made a speech, in which he said that the rebel commander would welcome Lincoln's mercenary hordes at Corinth, with all the forces that could be ga thered. Reliable information told us that the enemy was transporting his army to Grand Junction; unquestionable authority advised us that the troops were being removed to Memphis; indubitable testimony assured us that the next stand would be made at Grenada, Miss,, and we had it from eminently trustworthy sources that Beauregard was receiving heavy reinforcements at Corinth. Recon naissances were made, showing that the enemy was in strong force there, and also indicating that the position was merely held by a rearguard to cover the retreat of the main army. Additional transportation had been ordered by Gen. Halleck, clearly proving that further marches were to be made before encountering the adversary, and large supplies of surgical and hospital stores had been hurried forward, plainly demonstrating that a great battle was im minent. General Wool telegraphed from Fortress Monroe that Corinth had been evacuated, and correspondents said that General Halleck hooted at the idea of Beauregard changing his position. Stands Corinth where it did ? is thus a question of the greatest mystery so far as the public have b een able to I ecome informed in connexion therewith, It surely cannot be long before it is cieged _ Repthlican, THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Information has been received in the Exhibition building of a plan for pushing the sale of tickets, which strikes us as being exceedingly well calcu lated—first to catch the attention of the provincial working-classes; and, secondly, to enable many of them who might otherwise have had to stay at home to come up to London and see the world's show. A lottery—the most innocent ever known —has been started in Manchester, with Exhibition tickets and free trips to London and back as the prizes. The s.'..leme is a shilling for each chance, and every twelfth chance is to be a prize, compris ing a ticket for the Exhibition and a railway pass to London and back. We understand that the plan has been immensely relished in Cottonopolis, and that it is likely to be extended to Birmingham and other towns, increasing the value or number of the prizes according to the nearness of the district to town. There is no reason why it should not be tried in London, where the prize might be a family ticket, or a ticket and omnibus fare, and a dinner at either Mr. Morrish's or M. Veillard's. We do not think there is much danger of the Attorney- General interfering with this harmless infringe ment of the Lottery Act, The half-crown week draws to its conclusion in a blaze of triumph. Yesterday's was a most nume rous attendance, and the company was pretty equally scattered over the whole building. The courts allotted to the countries in the north of Europe are blossoming out with all the rapidity peculiar to their own short summers. The Sweden and Norway department exhibited yesterday seve ral novelties, including models of all the coasting vessels, some rich cases of plate, and an assort ment of chronometers, for which the exhibitor asserts an immense improvement on those now in use. One, which it appears has been six months under trial in the Observatory at Stockholm, lost during that time only the 300th part of a second. The court is, however, as yet far from complete, and we merely note these facts in passing to show that the Exhibition still continues to grow daily in at tractiveness. Several musical performances are announced for to-day, including one on the great organ from Hull, by Dr. Chipp, and a pianoforte recital, under the western dome, by Herr Pauer. The number of visitors yesterday was as follows —Season tickets, 7,014 ; on payment, 16,629 ; total 23,643. Among them were the ex-Queen of the French, the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Due de Nemours, Lord Bruce, Ad miral Rous, Sir Alex. and Lady Spearman, Sir H. Dalrymple, the Countess of Seafield, the Bishop of Winchester, and Lady Sarah Lindsay. THE GREAT EASTERN. It appears from an official abstract of the log of the Great Eastern's engineer, that the third voyage of that vessel to New York occupied nine days 18 hours and 45 minutes. The greatest number of knots ruu on one day appears to have been on the 15th, when she made 348. The greatest inclination of the ship to windward appears to have been four degrees; to leeward 5.5; and the greatest number of oscillations per minute was 6.5. From the engi neer's general remarks it appears that at 15 p.m. on the Bth she discharged pilot, full speed at 3.30 p.m.; on the 9th and 10th there was a strong headwind ; and on the 11th a strong headwind and dense fog on the 12th, a strong headwind ; on the 13th a strong N.W. gale and heavy head sea ; 07.1 the 14th a dense fog, and the vessel passed sevral icebergs ; on the 15th a light head wind—passed several ice bergs; on the 16th there was a dense fog, and the engines were stopped twice to take soundings ; at 8.30 p.m. on the 17th she took pilot on board ; at 7.30 a.m. on the 18th arrived off Sandy Hook.

The Board of Trade returns for the past month were issued this morning, and again give serious indications of the effect of the crisis in the cotton market. Compared with the corresponding month of last year, the declared value of our exportations shows a falling off of £1,082,325, or 10 per cent., which sum exactly represents the diminu tion in the shipment of cotton yarns and manufactures. The only other branches in which there has been any im portant reduction are machinery and iron, both of which changes are also attributable to the American struggle, in putting a stop to the demand for railway purposes in that country, and to the increase of mill power on the continent. In the linen, silk, and woollen trades during the month there has been a tendency to revival, and in the various miscellaneous branches of industry a fair average business appears to have been carried on. Compared with April, 1860, the total exportation presents a falling off of about 131 per cent. The total exports in the first four months of the y ear have been £36,246,651, against £38,547,462 in the corresponding months of 1861, showing a decrease of £2,300,811, or about 6 per cent. The changes have been as follows : Increase. Decrease. £ £ January .. 94,354 February • • 53,659 March .. .. 1,286,181 April.. .. 1,082,325 Compared with the first four months of 1860 a decrease is shown of £5,587,696, or nearly 11 per cent. With regard to imported commodities, the arrivals of grain have been moderate, but large of flour. Coffee, sugar, and spirits have likewise been imported in considerable quantities, while the consumption of the two former has declined. Of tea the arrivals were moderate, and the con sumption active, THE JAPANESE EMBASSY.—BIRMINGHAM, Fri day Evening.—The members of this embassy were enter tained last evening by the mayor and corporation at a banquet at the Queen's Hotel. The mayor presided. In proposing as a toast " The health of the Tycoon of Japan," the Mayor spoke of the good effects likely to result from the visit of persons so distinguished in their own country as the Japanese Ambassadors, to our manufacturing dis tricts ; he believed, he said, that both the Japanese and the English people would be mutually benefited by this friends -, intercourse with each other. As for himself and his f-,' , , end the first Ambassador, they had established a very ' C... 10813 re• lationship, for he (the Mayor) had been asked 'tkrough the interpreter " how eld ;re was." He replies t, fi2; tben re • plied the AmbasSador, " I am 53, so we mus l i, be brothers." .I'..t• any rate, on that occasion they met as l orothe:rs, and he hoped. they would meet them as brothers, all the world over, with the same friendly feeling as they met on that occasion. The Mayor afterwards proposed " The Health of the Am ' bassadors," and in doing so bade thorn a hearty welcome. Shortly before 10 o'clock the Arnbassadors retired. This morning the first visit was to the Proof House, where the Ambassadors were received by the Master and Wardens, and conducted through the establishment. The processes connected with the proving and stamping of gun barrels was explained to them ; and in every minutia they mani fested the deepest interest, asking manypertinent and prac tical questions. From this place the party proceeded to the establishment of Messrs. John Clive and Son, gun-barrel makers, also engaged in the manufacture of small arms. Mr. Clive showed his guests much which could not fail to excite their attention. The pin and wire works of Messrs. site. Edelsten and Willia ms i n G eorge - s t ree t wer e next visited.

Before taking their departure the the party conveyed, through Capt.

AT THE MANSION•HOUSE.—Last Mayor and th e L ady Mayoress entertained even ing the r Q L II O E r I d ' her Majesty's Judges, the principal members of the 613.1-, many of the members of the House of Commons, the Court of AlderWll, and most of the Common Council at dinner at the Ale 7 t,''ion• house, which was served with befitting • ,„piendour in the Egyptian hall, The company amounted to nearly NO 1l mmtber. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, May 30.—There has been rather more business to-day in yarns at higher prices, sales having taken place at id. to d. per lb. advance on Tuesday's rates. Spinners in some cases have asked a rather more considerable advance than this, but it has checked business. There would evidently have been a very considerable business had spinners been more moderate, but still the sales have been of fair extent. There have been purchases for all markets, but the chief business has been for India. In cloth, also, we have an improvement since Tues day, and a slight advance of price upon all descrip tions. The chief business in cloths, like that in yarns, has been for India, and is due to the im proved account recently to hand from that quarter. The firmness of the Liverpool cotton market has, no doubt, had the effect of inducing sellers to adhere more firmly to their quotations, and of bringing orders upon the market which might otherwise have been held back. Compared with what we have had doing for some weeks past, the business effected to-day has been rather considerable. LEEDS, 30th.—The Leeds Chamber of Commerce report as follows of the staple trades of that town and district :—" Woollen Trade.--The business done in the warehouses during the last month has been very limited, especially during the latter part, and the spring trade may now be considered as nearly over. The mills in the surrounding district are, however, better employed than for some time past, having a fair quantity of orders for the autumn trade. The export houses are also doing a fair business, and during the past few weeks are said to have received considerable orders. Several Ame rican buyers have been over, and have been buying pretty freely. The demand for woollen cops is good. Wool.—Since the last report the prevailing shark°. teristic of the market has been one of great dullness, the only considerable demand having been for wools suitable for army and navy cloths. During the last three weeks the London wool sales have been in progress ; on Port Philip wools a decline of ld to 2d per lb. has been established, while most other descriptions of colonial wool remain much the same as in March. A large quantity has been bought 'for export. English long deep woo l s h ave given way 2d per lb., and at this reduction prices are by no means firm, the tendency being still in fervour of buyers. In half-bred and Down wools there has not been so much alteration, but in these prices have also ruled in favour of the buyer. Brokres, soils, and skin wools have maintained their prices, and lower sorts have even been higher, with a good demand. Flax and Linen Yarns.—A fair amount of business is doing in flax, tow, and hemp. Flax of most descriptions is firm in price, and English sorts have been and still continue in good demand. New Riga is arriv ing, but it is said that the quality is not equal to that of last year. Good clean tows have been scarce. and dear; common tows have been more plentiful., and the demand for them is not so active. Gr , ' eu hemps have been much sought after. In yarr, s the trade has been less lively ; the spinners c P ;ntinue to work full time without increasing the;: r stocks, but have few orders beforehand. P'iices are rather easier, especially for low tow s , and spinners com plain that the prices of t.ll O 'raw material are too high to leave a profit on Yarna. The expectation generally entertained, that 'ne high price and scarcity of cot ton would, I.ltve a favourable effect on the demand. for I,',:aep yarns, does not seem as yet to have been tealited. Iron, Machine, and Engineer Tool Trade —The demand for merchants' iron has decidedly improved, and the makers are full of orders, and this is especially the case with the makers of better qualities. The general tone of the iron trade here may be considered good. The machine trade con• tinues in a languid state, little new machinery being wanted in the generally depressed state of trade. The engineer toolmakers keep their hands working full time, and the demand is about equal to the production. Th e l ocomot i ve makers are very busy, and have a good supp l y of orders on hand. The cut-nail trade is v er y qu i e t, especially for exp ort. Leather—The trad e d ur i ng t h e past month has shown more activity than during April. A quiet, steady trade has been done, prices remaining un altered. The fancy leather trade has also much improved, and the manufacturers are busy with orders both for home and export."
