Particulars have been received from Lisbon of the measures submitted by the Portuguese Go vernment to the Chambers with the view of equal ising the revenue and expenditure of the country, and which, it is calculated, will realise an addition of £900,000 per annum. The new taxes extend Over several branches of the revenue. The pro perty-tax, which, since the abolition of the " dizimos" more than 30 years ago, has been very light, will be increased, and is calculated to yield £450 ,000 per annum. A tax of 10 per cent. is to be levied upon the net profits of all banking and other anonymous companies, the same to be paid before any dividend to the shareholders. The directors and employes in like manner are to pay a tax of 10 Per cent. upon their iirzomes. A similar tax, but of 8 per cent. only, is to be payable from the net Profits of all manufacturing establishments. The number of p rov i nc i a l di s t r i c t s f or the purpo s es of levying the taxes is reduced to four only, simplify -11)g the collection and rendering it less expen tve• The personal taxes paid by the several Classes engaged in business are increased. The laws relating to the succession duties are altered, and the r a t e augmente d . Th e s t amp d u ti es are a l so in creased, while the Customs' duties are in certain cases altered when calculated to lead to an increase of revenue. Telegrams from New York mention the loss of a steamer in the Brazilian trade, which is assumed to be one of the mail line between New York and Rio de Janeiro. Messrs. Carter and Garthwaite, Manchester Warehousemen, of Wattling-street, have stopped payment, but their liabilities are understood not to be large. The failure is also announced of Messrs. Wallace and Murray, wincey manufacturers, of Glasgow, with liabilities estimated at about £15,000.

BiratiNcm.4.3t, Wednesday Morning. Violent thunderstorms have occurred here. A perfect deluge of rain has fallen since midnight. Mr. Plant reports that his observations show that the rainfall since May 3d has been unprecedentedly large. SCHOOL TREAT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.-Mr. Saville writes to us as follows :—" 1 beg to make tbo annual appeal through your columns to the charitable public to enaMe the committee of St. Peter's schools, Bethnal-green, to tako upwards of 300 children to Epping Forest this summer. Subscriptions, however small, will be thankfully received by the Rev. W. Baird, St. Peter's Vicarage, or at 1, Prince's-terrace, Bonner's-road, N.E." LADIES' WORK SOCIETY.-A society is in course of formation for procuring work for ladies, and to be the means of offering it to the public for sale. Such an insti tution is needed, for the long list of "reduced gentle women" seems not to lessen, but daily to increase. It is confidently expected that the society will be the successfu means of affording rerounerative employment t 5 many who are silently and hopelessly struggling to gain a liveli hood. The names of those favourable to the project will be received by Miss Emily Faithful, at the Victoria Press, Princes-street, Hanover-square. " COLONIAL TARIFFS."—A valuable pamphlet has been recently issued by the Financial Reform Union, con taining a complete statement of the various customs tariffs of the British colonies, a table showing the duties levied upon British produce and manufactures, and an analysis of the expenditure and taxation of each colony. A Cork telegram states that three men have, been arrested at Queenstown for Fenian-drilling. SIIOCKING ACCIDENT AT OLDHAM.—Yeatorday morning a lamentablo fatality occurred in the, chief thoroughfare of Oldham. Some heavy coping stones fell from a three-storey building, bringing down with them a quantity of building material, and demolishing a very substantial structure in their descent. A policeman, named Jackson, and his child, were buried beneath the stones, and were so much injured that they died in a few minutes after they had been extricated. Other persons wore seri ously hurt ; one man so severely that it was found neces Eery to amputate his log. NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND FESTIVAL.—The arrangements for the annual dinner of the Newspaper Press Fund, which is to take place on Saturady week, at Willis's Rooms, are sufficiently advanced to justify the managing committee in believing that the sixth anniver sary will be at least equally successful as any of its prede cessors. tip to yesterday nearly forty members of the Houses of Peers and Commons had intimated their inten tion of supporting, by their presence, Lord Houghton, who takes the chair; and, as on previous occasions, dis tinguished representatives of art, science, and literature, indeed of nearly all the profeFsions, express their desire to take part in the proceeiings. The musical programme, proverbially excellent at the Press Fund dinners, will bo of a most attractive character, Mr. Benedict kindly pre siding, and various artists of eminence gracefully volun teering their services. A committee, consi,ting of Capt. Digby, C. 8., Major Cooke, and Mr. H. W. Walker, Deputy- Acountant-Gencral of the Navy, with Mr. C. D. Loveless as secretary, are engaged in bringing to an uniform system the methods of procedure at the several divisions of Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry in reference to pay and accounts. The committee have concluded their investigation at Plymouth and Easney barracks at Portsmouth, and are now pursuing their inquiries at Forton. The officers of the 92d (Gordon Highlanders) dined together yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopgate-street. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EV 'NINO, MAY 26, 1869. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. .

PAnn, TUESDAT. The result Of the contest in Paris is very remark. able. The struggle has excited unprecedented inte rest, has been conducted with remarkable order, and has had a decisively unanimous issue. The proportion of votes given was very large. In the first circumscription in 1863 24,000 votes were given; in 1869 the number is 35,000. In the second circumscription the numbers are respectively 21,000 and 32,000 ; in the third, 28,000 and 36,000 ; in the fourth, 23,000 and 33,000 ; in the fifth, 26,000 and 37,000, and so on throughout. The number of electors has, indeed, increased also ; but, I need hardly say, not in this proportion. Notwithstanding the immense number of voters whose suffrages had to be taken in two days—a vast army of 300,000 men in Paris alone—no disturbance arose ; everywhere the electors have behaved irreproachably, and both Liberal and official journals agree that the election reflects the greatest credit on the city of Paris. The result has been a " Red" vote. The extreme men have been preferred in almost every circumscription. In the first, Carnot, a Republican of advanced views, an excellent repre sentative, one would have thought, fur this Republican city, has been easily Lenten by Cambetta, the extreme Radical, who has recently risen to famo by his splendid eloquence. Carnot was a good depn'y ; everybody respected him ; but the Parisians felt that if their cause, be it good or lrul, is to prosper, it must be entrusted, not merely to men who represent it, but to men who can eloquently plead for it. Hence the overwhelming defeat of Carnot in the third circumscription. Bancel has beaten Emile 011ivier, the leader of the Tiers-Parti. The decision of this most important contest amounts to nothing less than a declaration of war to the knife between Paris and Imperialism. Emile 011ivier thought that France might accept the Empire if grievances were redressed — liberty conceded. Paris, for its part, maintains that the Emperor is an enemy with whom no compromise is possible, and therefore none shall be attempted. Instead of the moderate, but by no means Imperialist 011ivier, the third circumscription has returned the most furious Radical in all France, Bancel, member of the Provisional Govern ment of 1848, a politician who will take the oath of allegiance only with the avowed intention of breaking it, and who enters the Corps Ugislatif only the better to secure the fall of the present Sovereign. Picard, Jules Simon, and Pelletan, all advanced Republicans, have been elected. In the other circumscriptions the battle will have to be fought over again ; but the contest will be only between one form of opposition and another. In the second circumscription M. Thiers has obtained 13,300 votes ; Devinck, the chocolate maker, 10,404; and D'Alton Slit% the aristocratic Republi can, 8,000. The latter will retire, and then M. Thiers goes in easily. Ia the fifth the struggle is between Raspail and Gamier Pikes, both extreme men. The official candidate is nowhere. In the seventh Jules Fevre and Rochefort, one a shade redder than the other, will fight for the seat. The official candidate, a shoe maker, who can noither read nor write, met with the fate his ignorance merited. It is only in the sixth circumscription that an official candidate has made anything like a fight. There the representative of the Government was M. Cochin, an able man, and of very powerful influence. If an Imperialist could get in anywhere for Paris, it was in this section. But Jules Ferry, the Republican, gained 12,916 votes, Cochin got 12,470, and Garoult, another Republican, 4,851. At the next trial the Liberals will con centrate on Ferry, and then what chance will Cochin have ? The second balloting takes place on Sunday and Monday week, the 6th and 7th of June. At the second ballot, which is necessary whenever no can didate gets more than half the total number of votes polled, the majority, be it half or not, is decisive. The important question, " What has the country done?" can hardly be answered yet. Some returns have not been received whilst I write, in others the contest has been indecisive, and a second teat will be. neces sary. But enough is known to enable certain re sults to be stated with perfect confidence. Almost all the moderate men, no matter of what party, have been defeated. France has recognized only the two extremes—the Imperialists and the Republicans. In the last Parliament and its predecessors there were representatives of various shades, Imperialist, Orleanist, Legitimist, Tiers-Parti, and Republicans of various shades. In the Parliament of 1869-75 there will be only the first and the last of these—a circum stance which irresistibly prompts the reflection, lea extremes Sc tOUChtne. The Orleanists and the Legitimists have vanished. M. Thiers, the leader of the former party, will doubtless get in for Paris, though not so triumphantly as the extreme candidates. He has been beaten by large majorities in no less than five provincial constituencies—at Lille, Marseilles, Morlaix, and in two clictunscriptions of the 'Vienne. All his lieutenants have failed absolutely. Casimir-Perier, de Broglie, Remusat, d'A niliffret, Pasquier, Bother, Prvost-Paradol,Lanibreclit DuchAtel, De Witt, Peeazes, and Jattl:ert have tried and have not succeeded. The most fortunate of them received only the srria'l number of ‘4,7::0 votes. The Orleani,t party formed only a very small fraction of the la,t Chamber, but this tune it is doubtful whetl er it will be represented by more than a unit. The route is complete. The Legitimists are in even worse case. I believe that not a single representative of the Count de Chambord will find his way to the Corps LtCgislatif. The election of 1860 has ended in the disappearance of these once powerful parties from the political stage. The Government has gained 196 seats, and the Opposi tion 26 ; the remainder are doubtful or unknown. The official candidates, as might have been expected, will once more be in a large majority. But the Opposition will be much more formidable than in the last Chamber, for it will be homogeneous, and it will be slightly larger. It will consist almost wholly of Republicans, and mostly of extreme Republicans. The great towns have followed the example of Paris. Lyons has chosen Bailed and Raspail ; Marseilles has given a large majority for Gambetta, who must prove the victor at the second test. In the fourth circumscription the officia and the votes l candidate i s first, but there which wer e are thr e e. espread Opposition candidates, amongst these three must b e d ec i s i ve when con centrated on one. Borde aux an d Nantes have equally pronounced for the R a di ca l s. The Jura has again elected the Liber a l, w h om, to the astonish. meat of everybody, it c h ose a s h ort t i me age. M. Emile n s olsi b mi t e i e eo u rno successfulucsancannot otindecisivee i e n v elections the Var. Th e f u ll s t reng th of n t t he 011i vier e n approximately are fought estimated u over again. But it is certain that it has gained by the contest. Even the Patrie admits this. THE REASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. Glyn, the Liberal " whip," has usual a circular to Mr. Gladstone's supporters in the House of Comrhons, announcing that a division will be taken on the third rea4ig of the Irish Church Bill on Monday evening, and earnestly requesting the attendan'ce of Liberal members on that occasion to support the Government. Divisions are also expected on Thursday evening on important features of the Budget. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Major-Gen. Sir David Wood, K.C.8., R.A., is appointed Commandant of the Garrison at Wool wich, in succession to Major-Gen. E. C. Warde, C. 8., R.A., whose period of Staff service expires at the end of the present month, but as Sir David Wood has obtained permission not to assume the command before the Ist of July next, Major-Gen. Warde will still continue to carry on the duties of the command until that period. The officers of the 18th Hussars dined together last evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street. The officers of the Bth (King's) Regiment bad their annual dinner last evening at Willis's-rooms, King-street, St. James's. The annual regimental dinner of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's Regiment) was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, I3ishopsgate-street. The 94th Regiment of infantry, comprising about 30 officers and 500 non-commissioned officers and men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Mein, paraded yesterday morning on Woolwich common, and underwent an inspection by the coin mandant of the garrison, Major-General E. C. Warde, C. 8., R.A. After the Major-General had passed down the front rank and up the rear rank, the regiment broke into open column of companies right iu front and marched past, and subsequently formed on their original ground, when they were ad tressed by the commandant, who exiressed hmj self well pleased with the smart, clean, and soldier- . like appearance of the men, who reflected the greatest credit upon.the corps after their journey tiona Dover iu such unsettled weather during the four days they were on the line of march. The Greenwich Hospital pension of £5O a year vacant by the death of Mr. W. Folds, Deputy In spector of Hospitals and Fleets, on the 11th inst., has been granted front that date to Dr. John W.

The attendance on Epsom Downs to-day doubtless quite equal that on any former occasion not excepting that of the Great Exhibition year About eight o'clock this morning "the road" begat to assume its usual appearance, the Elephant and Castle, of course, being the first point at which tin excitement began to develope itself. Here, as of old, a number of people lia , l collected to witness the arrival and departure of the thousands of tDC ropo litans who had made up their minds to enjoy them selves, and at the same time to take the road in preference to the rail tray for per forming the journey. There was a strong body of police at the various point s to preserve some degree of order, but the fun beguo to deVelope itself at an early hoar, and by t en o'clock it h,td Ir2c nne alinoat uncout rolable. The vehicles used on the occas i on by the nottAands going to the 1) rby " were ai extraordivary as thud ; all the old open barotiehei that had been I up since last year by the. joblinisters were 1 rougttl into requisition, and the cattle attached to many of them seennil as fit to da the dist .nee out and I, om , as they would have been to I joine 1 in the great contest to be brought to au issue at three ,i'cicek this afternoon. The pains that ha.l been taken to give them a fresh app aranc., must have been very grt.at, but as they seemed to the holidaymakers to be quite the thing they pursued their journey in the highest spirits. Then came the popular vehicle of the million for their holiday excursions- —the vans, with thirty or forty occupants each, and seine of these were resplendent with decorations, so much so, that fur the day they had been christened " The Saloon Conveyance," but the proprietors bad not gone to the extravagance of quite disguising the homely u - seslo which they are put on different occasions, and the words "goods care fully removed" led to the most uproarious chaffing as they came on fast and furious. Amongst the holiday voyagers the pea shooter secure 1 to be in general use, and in some eases for a pea the shooter got a small bag of flour in return, to the immense delight of the crowd of non-starters, as they were commonly called by one swell who had been got up regardless of expense. The itenerent vendors of vegetables in the streets were not behind the rest of the people on the great occasion ; they had deter mined todevote their " fiats" to a day's pleasure, and as the most dashing of theta drove up to " Hele phant to have a wet" the laughter was enormous. They seemed to have arranged accommodation for about six as a rule, but how the unfortunate but well-fed donkey was to survive the return journey seemed a matter of the most profound in difference to both mile acd female, the great object apparently being to get to " the Downs" and to leave the remainder of the business to the chap ter of accidents. Then came the well-to-do trades man in his cart,with the partner of his worldly toils, proud in the enjoyment of a bran new bonnet for the occasion, smiling by his side, although the favourite colour of the day " yellow and black," did not suit the complexion of all who sported it. One party early in the morning suffered a mishap, and which doubtless spoiled the fun of the day, for on alight ing at the usual resting-place the owner found that, owing to the insecure manner iu which " the ham per" had been fastened to the axletree underneath the cart or the polite attention of some one looking about for unconsidered trifles, " the whole lot" had gone, and their remained nothing to do but pur sue their journey unencumbered with the commis sariat department. The dashing equipages from the west end did not begin to show until about half past nine, and they arrived in rapid succession ; certainly on no former occasion have they been exceeded either in ritunber or style. There was the aristocratic four in -hind, the occupants of which seemed generally to sport the cherry colour of Sir J. Hawley and the blue and silver of Pretender. Open landaus and barouches, occupied with ladies whose toilette was a perfect wonder, followed ; and then came the " advertising mediums" of cheap clarets, cheap clothing, quack medicines, and " to persons about to marry," who distributed their favours with the utmost profusion. The inhabitants of the houses on either side of the Clapham-road occupied their fore-courts to wit.ler.zs the holiday corteje in great numbers ; and altogether the eight of the road was curious ani entertaining as it ev,r has been in ' previon3 ytar.s. AC the railway titations the .cone was one of ex treme excitement ; at W.,terloo, the nuolbcr of those who left by the ch.a d tiains prior to nitre o'clock was ettotin and, although the s•rnggling for plac,.s wits gtmcral, on the whole good tent, prevai:ed, and the inttnenie strings of c4rriagta le t the station in safcty. At Loudon-bridge and Victoria the saute hct:nes were enActed. About 10 o'clock was the time fixed fur the twining of the fabt trains, and as these were quite as numerously patronised as the cheaper onus, the railway com panies, no doubt, would like the arrangement much better did tLe races extend over a mouth at the least. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A Cumous ROBBEHY.—Annie Williams, an unfortunate, was charged beLre Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a shilling from the shop of Mr. Shepherd, surgeon, No. 136, Great Portland-street- From the evidence of Mr. Fieson, assistant to Mr. Shep herd, it appeared that the prisoner, who was iu a state of intoxication, was served with two draughts awl left, and shortly after returned and looked behind the counter. She then went to the desk, attempted to tear up some prescrip tions, and took up a shilling and put it in her pocket. As the prisone: weal not leave be sent for a constable, who took the, prisoner to the station, and on the way she threw away the shilling. T. Russell, 106 E, proved that the prisoner, who was very drunk, throw away a shilling. The prisoner said she had no need to take a shilling, as she had money of hor own. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he should have thought the taking of two draughts would have sobered the prisoner, but it did not appear to have done so. The prisoner had not only taken a shilling, but she had attempted to destroy the prescriptions. She would be remanded. WESTMINSTER. MORE PERILS OF RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.-A boy named Ford, respectably connected, was charged with throwing stones upon the Metropolitan District Railway, Police-constable William Gulstan, 316 B, said that ho saw the defendant at a little after five last night at Pelham place, Knightsbridge. There is a bridge there, and the defendant threw two small stones over it at a train that was passing-. Defendant said he was throwing at the wall and tho stones wont over by accident. Tho constable said that the defend..nt could ace the train passing. Mr. Arnold—This is a most serious thing ; T really don't know m hat is to be done. Boy's Father—l am very sorry. My son threw at the wall, and did not mean to do any harm. Mr. Arnold—That may be true, but he is not aware of the mischief ho may do. Ile might injure a person very s3riously. With the speed of the train if a stone truck the window or entered the carriage it would be like a gunshot. I must do the best I can to stop this. Defendant is fined 10s. or seven days. THAMES. THE CAPTAIN ON A LEE SHORE. —Two smartly -dressed foreign women, named Louisa Hoffman, aged 2 years, and Eleanor rosillimine, No. 1, White-horse-court, Royal Mint-street, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a £5 Bank of England note from the person of, Captain Carl Christian Wallis, master of the ship Har mony in the West India Dock. The prosecutor was on a cruise on shore last night, and met with the prisoners. He was taken all aback with their attentions and blandishments. lie treated them with licinor and went to sundry places with them. All was bliss, contentment, and goad humour until Le missed a £5 Bank of England note. He accused them f stealing it. They made load protestations of innocence, but were notwithstanding given into custody, and searched. A few shillings only was found upon them. Mr. Benson thought it would be useless to commit the prisoners for tr.al. No grand jury would find a bill against them, and they must be discharged. Captain Wuhis —I want my £5 note. Mr. Benson-1 cannot give it to you. You should select better company, and act with more discretion. Captain. Wallis—My £5 note is gone. Mr. Benson—Yes. (A laugh.) Ho had no doubt the captain lost the £5 note in the prisoners' house. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor for the prisoner—No, sir, not in their house. Mr. Benson—The captain said so.

The flag fell, but it being declared a fahe. start the horses were recalled, and again put in position. At the fall of the II ig this time an excellent start was effected, and all got away together in a cluster, in which position they remained until the famous Tattenham corner was reached. Pero Gomez and The Drummer at this point began to show in front of the rest, and immediately after this the pair we have mentioned began the struggle in earnest, Pretender, however, being closely in attendance. In this posi tion they went on to within a short distance of the winning -post, the race at this moment appearing certain either for Pero or the Drummer, with third honours for Pretender; but within a stride of two of home Pretender's jockey called upon his horse, whoanswered the invitation with a splendid rush, or, more properly speaking, a jump, and made himself the winner by a neck. Belladrum's performance was simply pitiful, he never made a show throughout the race, and came in disgrace fully amongst the ruck. A length between second and third.
