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 1 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 cut down the " present exceptional expendi tufe" to sixty five millions, he also is well-pleased to have uttered. Indeed Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. GLADSTONE hold, 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 ; wile 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 CARNARTON, and his defence by Lord DERBY, are all to be interpreted by this key. The wealthy city SOLON had prebably none whatever of this political feeling. Lord OVERSTONE, like most millionaires, is a very timid man. He is familiar w ith balances and private deposits, and instinc tively asks for the nation a balance as large in proportion to its vast business as he expects his bank customers to keep in relation to theirs. But, with Lord OVERSTONE'S leave, the case is wholly different. A nation's credit a., r and nn itR balance, but on the certainty that it always can and always will honour its bills. Low Exchequer balances mean that the money they save is b e i ng turned over in trade by the people, augmenting indeed our customs and excise revenue. There i s not happily the slightest doubt that if the expen diture of the country exceeded the revenue to any amount, any y ear, Parliament would take the most pro mpt measures to make good the di fference. - 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 _hat the Chancellor of the Exchequer's only security is his provo rty. Such is the voracity and nav of the departments —of the army y espe cially—such the tendency of the House of Commons to profuse measures, involving, like the Education and Fortification schemes, undefined expenditure, that unless the Government cashier is able to adopt the answe r of the Vatican, and to reply vfith a non possumus, there would be no end to the demands made up on him. If he wishes to spare the nation, he 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 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* loag nhgPrvant or the less reflective, may, 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 Whitenn holidays—THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE HOUSE THE NATIONAL ENTEN. DIIIIRR IS CAPABLE OF REDUCTION, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY, THE INDEPENDENCE charge against Mr. GLADSTONE is the old one, 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 windfalls and balances a" spendthrift which could be spared; and that with all this he ....,„ ---- has produced a budget without a real surplus."

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.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. —EAST BETFORD, 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 tly 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 LATEST NEWS. AMERICA. CORK, MAY 31, 9.10 A.M, ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALASIAN. NEW YORK, MAY 21. It is expected that General Hunter will either resign, or be deprived of his command. General M'Clellan is at Bottom's-bridge, 15 miles from Richmond. The advance under General Stoneman is within two miles of the Confederate army. 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 State for 20 years if necessary. Ip the action before Fort Darling 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. After 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. General Wool has advanced from Norfolk to Suffolk, and taken possession of the latter city without resistance. Extraordinary efforts have been made by the Confederates for the defence of Richmond.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 31, JOIIN LEECH'S GALLERY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Mooltan, with the heavy portion of the Cal cutta and China mails, arrived off the Needles at eleven this morning. 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 s how. A lottery—the most innocent ever known —has been started in Manehester, with Exhibition tickets and free trips to London and back as the prizes. The s3heme 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 tn, 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 tieket 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 tho 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 mow 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 deme, 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 Duc 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, 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 P 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 dining-room scene representing 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 persona. 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 humerona 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 9t' 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 swore 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 re;.'_ and peraonal property, and the will, with the exception of 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, Hanever•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., tor his own absolute use and benefit. Tho 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, Ecq. ; and his brother-in-law, Eustace Heathcote, E,q. 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 £5,000. 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 Isis army South and West, and General Bragg made a speech, in which he said that the reb,l commander would welcome Lincoln's mercenary hordes at Corinth, with all the f rces 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 Cointh. Recon naissances were made, showing that the enemy was in strong force there, end 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 hal been hurried forward, plainly demonstrating that a great battle was im minent. General Wool telegraphed from Fortress Monrce that Corinth had been evacuated, and corresponts said that General Halleck hooted at the idea of Beauregard changing his position.

The Venerable Duke de San Miguel is so ill as to have received the Sacra ment ; all hopes of his recovery are abandoned.

We rejoice at it, for we are anxious to 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 wh) would, by their impru dence, lead to conflicts disastrous to our country•" BURN TISLA N D.—ESCARMES OF THE ST.

Having o'.raincil the cows, they proceeded to the crescent and tcrrao frontiag the links, leaped railings and walls, and spoiled the gardens of their flowers—enor mous bunches of which they stuck in their buttonholes.

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 run 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 5.5. 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 ; on the 14th a dense fog, and the vessel passed several 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 Trado 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 a ith April, 1860, the total exportation presents a tailing off of about 131 per cent, The total exports in the first four months of the year 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. 94,354 Decrease. fr January , , February ..

With regard to imported commodities, the arrivals of grain have been moderate, but large of flour. Coffee, sugar, and spirits Lave 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 friendly intercourse with each other. As for himself and his friend the first Ambassador, they had established a very close re lationship, for he (the Mayor) had been asked through the interpreter " how old he was." He replied, 52; then re• plied the Ambassador, " I am 53, so we must be brothels." At any rate, en that occasion they met as brothers, 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 them a hearty welcome. Shortly before 10 o'clock the Ambassadors 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. Mr. Clive showed his guests much which could not m fai excite their attention. The pin and wire works ofxt visited.

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 3d. 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 effectedi 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 charac 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 2d per lb. has been established, while most other descriptions of colonial wool remain much the saute as in March. A large quantity has been bought for export. English long deep wools have given way 2d per lb., and at this reduction prices are by 'no means firm, the tendency being still in favorar of buyers. In half-bred and Down wools there has not, been so much alteration, but in these price ; a have also ruled in favour of the buyer. Brokes, 'dolls, and skin wools have maintained their prices, end lower sorts have even been higher, with a grJod demand. Flax and Linen Yarns.—A fair amo'ant of business is doing in flax, tow, and hemp. Flax of most descriptions is firm in price, any English sorts have been and still continue in. good demand.. New Riga is arriv ing, but it i, 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. Green hemps have been much sought after. In yarns the trade has been less lively; the spinners continTle to work full time without increasing their stoe,lis, but have few orders beforehand. Prices are rather easier, especially for low tows, and spinners cora- I plain that the prices of the raw mat er i a l are too hi g h to leave a profit on yarn. The expectation generally entertained, that the high price and scarcity of cot ton would have a favourable effect on the demand for linen yarns, does not seem as yet to have been realised. 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 t , ,ade. The engineer toolmakers keep their hands wfarking full time, and the demand is about equv.i to the production. The locomotive makers are very busy, and have a good supply of orders on hand. The cut.nail trade is very quiet, especially for export. Leather—The trade during the past month has shown more activity than daring 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." _ MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN. The supply of fruit is seasonably extensive, and the show of vegetables continues large. Generally speaking the trade rules inactive at easier rates. FRUIT, s. d. s. d.
