!ITT" NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days has not been quite so active, most parties having deferred their opera tions until the contents of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget are known. Tea, however, has been exceedingly firm, owing to the advices from China by the Overland Mail, and prices have advanced about id. to id. per lb. In sugars the dealings have been restricted to imme diate requirements, but values are well main tained. Coffee, cocoa, and rum have been in increased demand, at slightly improved rates. In rice the dealings have been unimportant, with little alteration to record in values. Fruit and spices have realised former quotations, and there has been more inquiry for saltpetre at advanced rates. At the public sales of indigo there has been greater animation in the bidding., and the more useful kinds have fully realised the rates exhibited at the commencement of the series. Tallow has been in good demand, and prices have again shown an up ward movement for both present and forward de livery. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very dull appearance, but prices exhibited no alteration of importance. The sales were only 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market a very limited amount of business was transacted, and quotations were tolerably well supported. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. At the forthcoming meeting of the Bank of Rgypt a dividend of £1 15s. per share, being at the rate of 7 per cent per annum, will be proposed. Continued activity and firmness are reported in the discount market, but greater quietude may shortly prevail, as the mercantile community have partially supplied their immediate requirements, and the emux of gold from the Bank has received another check. Increased buoyancy has been exhibited in the market for Public Securities to-day, owing to con tinued purchases on speculative account and for investment. Consols have risen to 944 4 for money, and to 944 I for March. A much better feeling seems to prevail in monetary eircles. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have ad vanced to 941 ; Bank Stock is steady at 2294 and 2304 ; India ditto, at 220 ; ditto New Loan is firm at 102/ 34; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaoed Paper has receded to 971, ; ditto 54 per Cent. ditto, to 1034 104. Exchequer Bills are 235. to 255. prem. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market continue on a very moderate scale, but prices are firm, Turkish 6 per Cents. are 78 to 781 ; ditto New, 65 to 66, and the 4 per Cents. are flat, at 102. Brazilian 41 per Cents. have improved to 94, Buenos Ayres Deferred to 221, Russian 4f per Cents. to 97; I, ditto 3 per Cents. to 66 1, and Spanish to 44f.

[To be continued in a later edition.] with the packet service, amount to 29,700,000/, showing an increase of 3,618,0001 upon the military estimates, in the same sense of the term Toted last year, and an increase of 2,448,0001 in the estimate for the current year. (Hear.) The miscel laneous civil estimate is 7,500,000/, being a decrease upon that of last year of 325,0004, and this I hope to increase by the labours of the committee which the house has shown a disposition to appoint. Another item is estimated at 4,700,000/, and the total of the six sums I have stated, including. the Post office department, gives a total of 70,100,0001. Now, when I look at the estimated income for the coming year, it is a matter which at the first view is not very satisfactory. I shall assume that the committee will think it right to renew the taxes on tea and sugar at a rate not less than they adopted when last considered. Approaching the subject from that point of view, I estimate the Customs' revenue at 22,770,0001; the Excise at 19,170,0001; Stamps, 8,000,000/; Taxes, 3,250,0001; Income-tax (that is to say, for one half-year still outstanding at the rate of fivepence) 2,400,0001; Post Office, 3,400,000/; Crown Lands, 285,000/; and Miscellaneous Revenue 1,500,000/. The total of these receipts would be 60,700,0004, while the total charge I have exhibited is 70,100,0004, showing an apparent deficit of 9,400,0001. In the charge of 70,100,000/ we get the ' benefit of about 2,000,0001 of annuities which will lapse during the year, and I am bound also to say that I am not in a condition to ask you to do what might be des'rable, namely, to make provision for the payment of 1,000,0001 of Exchequer Bonds due in November next. The Suceeseions Duty has failed to produce the amount which was expected Instead of being able to apply the surpluses that• that had arisen to the ordinary purposes, they were compelled to apply them to extraordinary objects. They had to take into account the expense that had resulted from the Russian war, which exercised such a drain on their income, and had disturbed all the calculations of a financial character that had been made. On the whole, the country stood in a worse position in regard to expendi ture, as compared with 1853, of £2,720,000, but the difference had been compensated by favourable results that had been realised during the last two years. That result was the system of financial policy, in which with a timid hand he had taken part, and the consequence would be that there would have been a largo surplus in favour of the country, had it not been for the war, and other circumstances to which he had already alluded. He contended that the result of the income tax showed that there had been an increase in the wealth of the country. He put out of question the schedules C and E, but confined his deductions to the other schedules, which represented the wealth of the country, and comparing it with the relative periods when it was in operation. Since 1843 it was evi dent that their had been a large increase in the wealth of the country. In 1843 the amount realised from these schedules was 154,0001; in 1844 it was 172,000,000/ ; in 1857 it was 191,0001; and it had risen in the present year at the rate of 161 per cent., while from 1842 to 1843 the increase had been at the rate of 12 per cent. The expenditure of the country, however, had in creased at a very rapid rate, and there was at pre sent a deficit of 9,400,060/ to be supplied. He did not mean to say that the expenditure khight not have been reduced, but with that deficit they were called upon to deal. It was said that a system of commercial improvement was suited merely to times of ease and financial prosperity, but that doctrine he repudiated. (Hear, hear.) He believed that such improvement was the proper means by which they were to deal with the crisis at which their fiscal position had arrived. No doubt it was desirable that the duty on tea and should be reduced, but it was not now proposed to adopt that step, and he must call on the house to continue this duty for another year for the period had not arrived when the Government were in a position to deal with that tax. The policy which he would ask the house to adopt, was an extension of the principles of free trade.

"HIS D 4 Y. l 103 AND STOCKS. Closing Prioe. 100 1 1 11 35 i if 51 *if 4 i The 5 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF .L3RDS--(Tms EVENING.) Earl GREY said the noble earl who bad just sat down had said there was no official correspondence, but he should like to know whether there was any correspondence at all on the subject. Lord WODEHOUSE said he thought his noble friend had answered the question of the noble marquis very clearly. There was certainly no despatches or correspond ence in the possession of the Government on the subject. SUNDAY SERVICES. Viscount DUNGANNON postponed his motion with respect to the performance of divine worship in the minor theatres of the metropolis until Friday, the 24th inst. Lord PORTMAN suggested the withdrawal of the motion altogether. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that if the ser. vices were conducted with piety, they ought not to be inter. fered with. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said these services had been instituted by private individuals, and as they tended to the promotion of religion and piety, no difficulty ought to be thrown in the way by this house. After a short conversation, Viscount DUNGANNON refused to postpone his motion further than Friday, the 24th. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAZER took the chair at four o'clock. The interest felt in the financial statement which it was announced, late last night the Chancellor of the Exche quer would be sufficiently recovered to make this evening, was apparent in the state of the house, which was crowded frem the commence ment of the proCeedings. The seats on the floor were occupied a few minutes after four o'clock, and the galleries appropriated to members and strangers were also filled, several members of the Upper House and distinguished foreigners being present. Exactly at half-past four o'clock the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who appeared to be in good health, entered the house and was loudly cheered. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Marl borough Branch Railway, and Northleach and Watley Railway. SILK MANUFACTURES. Mr. BRIGHT said he had to present a petition which bore on the subject to bo brought before the house this evening. It was signed by 18 or 20 of the silk manufac turers of Manchester, and prayed for a removal of the re strictions on silk fabrics introduced into this country, in conformity with the principle of free trade. (Cheers.) HARBOURS OF REFUGE. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any steps in the present session with a view to carrying out the recommendations of the Har bours of Refuge Commission. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, as soon as it was possible, Government would adopt the necessary stops in reference to the subject. MISSION TO THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he had any objection to produce the papers relat ing to the mission of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone as High Commissioner to the lonian Islands ; and, if it was the intention of the Government to produce them, at What time they were likely be laid on the table of the house ? Lord PALMERSTON said it was not intended to pro duce the papers, as such a proceeding was quite unneces• eery. (Laughter.) HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY. Sir HENRY STRACEY asked the Secretary of State for War, as officers promoted to the rank of major-general from the household cavalry receive one pound nine shillings and twopence per diem, and officers promoted to the rank of major-general from the infantry of the line received ono pound five shillings per diem, why cavalry officers of the line promoted to the same rank, and who had been re quired, to attain that rank, to expend for the regulated price of their commission oue thousand six hundred and seventy five pounds more than the sum required as the regu lated price for the same commission of the infantry officer, should receive the seine pay only, i.e., £1 6s per diem; and, the principle of higher pay for greater outlay being recognised in the instance of the officer promoted from the Household Cavalry, why it was not applicable to the cavalry officer of the line, who had been required to expend for his commis:46n £1,675 above the sum required of the infantry officer of the line. Mr. S. HERBERT said that in the cases alluded to the rate of pay had no reference to the purchase money. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table the commercial treaty with the Emperor of the French. THE BUDGET. On the motion for going into a Committee of Ways and Means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to make his Financial Statement. He said that events had rendered 1860 one of the most irn prtant years in the history of this country. (Hear.) They had the fact that they were relieved from no less than 21,146,0001 of the national debt, a result that had never occurred in a single year in the past, and which he believed would never again occur in any single year in the future. The duty of 12,000,000/ a year levied on tea and sugar would lapse with the pre sent year unless they were rene wed ; and the income-tax amounting, to between 9,000,0031 and 10,000,0001, was also about to lapse. They had, in addition to these important features of the prevent financial year, to consider the commercial treaty between her Majesty and the Emperor of the French, and the alteration it would introduce into the financial syltem of this country if it received the sanction of the house. (Hear, hear.) He was prepared to state that the general result of the financial year would be satisfactory. The Customs realised 24,750,0007., which exceeded the estimate given last year. The duty on stamps would produce over 8,000,000/., and the Income-tax, instead of realising, as was estimated, 9,940,0001., would produce 9,894,0001. Having referred to different items of revenue, the right hon. gentleman said that the total results would give, instead of the estimate of 69,460,0001. for the year, no less than 70,818,0001. We have had to encounter, since Parliament adjourned, the making provision for the ex pedition to China, and the additional charge, partly on account of that expedition and the excess of the military expenditure of 1858.9 stands as follows :—For the army, 900,0001., and for the navy, 2 70,000/. Then there has occurred the treaty with France, and it is very difficult to estimate, before March 31, the precise effect which that treaty may produce on the Customs revenue, the more especially as the question will arise with respect to certain payments requisite to be made to a limited class of persons who will be affected by it. But I have deducted from the customs revenue the sum of 640,000/. We therefore find that, adding the total of the military excess of 1 ,170,0001 to this deficiency of 640,0001 in customs revenue, we have a total of 1,810,00 W, which would appear to place 113 rather on the wrong side of the account. But relief has come to us from a quarter where it was least expected. A friendly kingdom has agreed to pay us a debt at the very moment when money is most wan t e d an d least expected, and when she herself is engaged in war. Spain, under no peculiar pressure, bat with a high sense of honour, and not wishing to avail herself of pleas which I do not hesitate to say she might have advanced for time, has remitted us bills coming very' little short of 500,0001, of which one half will come to the credit of revenue before March 31. We shall have a probable surplus of £1,875,000, but against it we have a charge of 1,810,0001, being, I believe, the narrowest surplus that is on record, but still a surplus. Such is the state of the accounts for the present year and the short time that remains until its close. I now approach a more difficult part of the subject, namely that which relates to the charge and expenditure of the coming year 1860.1. The estimated charge for the funded and unfunded debt is 26,200,000/, showing a decrease of 2,438,0001—a snm considerably greater than the annuities about to fall in. The army and militia, including a vote of credit of 500,000/ on account of the China ex pedition, for which it will be our duty to ask will amount to 15 ,800,000/. The navy and packet service stands in tke estimates at 13,900,0001, and these two sums, which include the whole military and naval expenses, together The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack it fire o'clock. IZISII ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. The Marquis of WESTMEATH asked the hon. and learned lord on the woolsack whether there was any inten tion on the part of the Government to introduce any mea sure to alter the constitution of the Irish Ecclesiastical Courts. The answer of the LORD CHANCELLOR was inaudible. SAVOY AND NICE. In reply to Lord NORMANDY, Earl GRANVILLE said there was no correspondence which could be considered official in the possession of the Government as having taken place between the British Ambassador at Paris, Lord Cowley, and Count Walewski. He could not undertake to say there had been no conversa tion between the Ministers on the subject, but certainly nothing that could be considered official existed on the sub ject. ........... 1 ./ .. i~ , i r BANK _RETURNS. tenant George Palmer, jun., to be Captain; vice Watling. ton; Charles Lawrence Ind, Gent., to be Cornet.

The letter also referred to several other sites on the margin docks as available for a similar purpose. The Chairman explained that a correspondence had taken place on the subject in 18.56, when it was be lieved by the Dock Committee of that day that tho Govern ment had waived their intentions with regard to any sites but that at the north end. The letter was referred to a , committee. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following members of the College having been elected Fellows at pre vious meetings of the Council, were admitted as such on the 9th inst. viz:—Messrs. Michael Fenton Manifold, army, diploma of membership dated July 14, 18 4 3 ; Henry Era smus Wren, Bedford-row, November 3, 1837; W in . Gardner, Gloucester-terrace, Hyde Fark,'Atigust 27, 1839 • Walter Chapman, Lower Tooting , May 27, 1840; and Johd John Arthur, Commercial-place, March 10, 18 4 3 . PRICE PRICE OF GOLD.—The quot ation of go ld at Park is about # per milled, and the short exdhange on London is 2.5.071 per sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. Mid. per ounce for standar,/ I gold, it appears that gold is at about 3-10ths per cent. d earer in Paris than in London. B y advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13•31 p?r sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint p r oportions between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slightly against England ; and, after making a llowance for charges of tra ns p or t and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves no profit oil the importation of gold from the United States. sh to mplos tough toady pest, ,sting it old &tea.
