Sir Fit zro y K e lly opened the discussion with his usual arguments and statistics, and the House of Comm ons . li s t ene d patiently to the extraordinary statements - which aroused our astonishment when they were first made two or three years ago. Members were once more told that £20,000,000 out of the £60,000,000 spent every year by the consumers of beer was paid on account of the duty ; but the calculation, though remarkable, has ceased to excite attention. The only question of interest was at what hour would the Chancellor of the Exchequer demolish the argu ment of the learned member for Suffolk. It was no doubt true, as Mr. More afterwards said, that an unusually large number of members had come to the House pledged to promote a reduction of the duty, but it was perfectly well known that there would be no surplus this year to make a reduction possible, if even it should be attempted. The amend ment of Mr. Neate, however, seconded with great ability by Mr. Mill, gave a new aspect to the whole question. The amendment was subsequently with drawn, and the motion of Sir Fitzroy Kelly rejected on its merits by a decisive majority ; but Mr. Mill's argument was the novelty of the evening, and its effect upon the house was unmistakeable. For the first time it was seriously maintained in the House of Commons that our financial prospects were now such that it was the duty of Parliament to consider the propriety of reducing our debt rather than of abolishing taxes. A comparison of our resources and of our expenditure showed the necessity of transmitting to later generations diminished -bur dens as well as diminished wealth. If we are con suming at a rapid rate the stores of fuel which give us the advantage we enjoy in the world—the mas tery of its markets, and our unrivalled powers of powers of production—itis but just that we should at the same time take steps to pay off the debtwhich is now but a " fleabite," but which might prove fatal to energies otherwise crippled and enfeebled. We shall not be suspected of a desire to detract from the weight of Mr. Mill's argument. We are, indeed, glad to welcome so distinguished a supporter of a position we have ourselves repeatedly enforced. The duty of making some provision for the reduc tion of the national debt is so plain that it need only be stated to be acknowledged, and it could not have been introduced to the consideration of the House of Commons under happier auspices than it was last night. The nation is by this time pretty well en lightened on the subject of the malt duty. It is not an unobjectionable tax, and it is easy to conceive modifications in the mode of its collection which might make it less burdensome to the taxpayer without diminishing the receipt of the Exchequer. It is very possible that a re-arrangement of the impost may some day be made. The abolition of the tax is, however, entirely out of the question, and we may be certain that whatever happens a duty will still be levied on the consumption of beer. The gravest ob jection that has ever been u rge d aga i ns t th e d u t y was that it interfered with the feeding of cattle on malt, but the experiments of Mr. Lawes last spring showed that the advantages of malt as a food for cattle were, except in very special cases, imaginary. Another objection, very properly made at one time, that a uniform duty levied by measure discouraged the cultivation of barley on light lands, was met by allowing the duty to be paid by weight. The malt duty is therefore only one item of our system of in direct taxation, accompanied by no special disad gesandlf pressing upon the consumer at no un usualany peculiar drawb ac k s rema i n o f whichvanta rate. we are unaware, it would probably be found easy to remove them ; and if the alterations which have already been made in the mode of collecting the tax have been rendered partially inoperative by the excise officers, as Mr. Read maintained, it can not be impossible to compel excise officers to carry practical The speech, that the tax out to the fullest extent the altseurgagtieosntisonwhmichadPeabry liaduty on beer, adopted rm. should e n n e t bade ti has as his n is sm c t very o t n e d e d . into a and ably enforced by Mr. Du Cane, is a fair sub ject for debate and consider the way of adopt ation. Mr. Gl a d s to n e i s n a g id t t h h e er s e ng w g e e r s e tin d n iffi , n l d ti general concurrence of opinion, but the difficulties would vanish if the a lt era ti on difficulties i t n i sup ported by a t was not yet were vigorously p r essed. All this, howev er , can notquestion. and the argument of Mr. A duty on malt or beer must be levied if our 'system o f i n di rect taxa tion affect sto b t he maintainedem ai n Mill—that it is a national duty to k eep up suc h a revenue as will allow us to reduce th e nat i ona l d e bt —was not met by any of the speakers w h o f o ll owe d him. County member a fte r county member ex pressed the sentiments of t he tenant-farmers, who form, as Sir Edward Bu lwer-Lytt on sa id on F r id ay, the most powerful section of their several constitu encies, but as they were not prepared for Mr. Mill's arguments they did not find it convenient to notice them. They must make up their minds, however, that they will have to overcome his reasoning before they can hope to persuade the. y country that it i s desirable to abolish the Malt n u t— . The bulk of the revenue is raised from a few taxes produci ng a large income with comparatively a small pressure on the resources of the taxpayer. The taxes are so adjusted that their rate s of incidence are nearly uniform, and they affect all classes in the kingdom in a proportional degree. If one tax be diminished, all must be diminished, and we at once come t o th e question whether it is desirable that an i m p or t an t re . duction should be made in any. W e cannot b e li eve it is desirable, unless, indeed, a corre s p on di ng re duction be made in the national expenditure. If we could see our way to a reduction in the estimates, we might fairly apply some portion of the surplus in diminishing taxation, but the expenditure of the current year gives us no reason to suppose th a t an y stich result will be achieved. However reluctant we may be to make the admission, it seems that we have arrived at a stationary condition of expendi- ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail way Terminus, King's-cross• Patron—Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN. - .

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would h a v e had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arche s . At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously ever y week. Th e poor from all parts are admitted, th e onl y condition being that they aro homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young wom en, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to p o or families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

The debate of last night, even more than the division at its close, must convince the advo cates of the abolition of the malt duty how im possible it is that their end can be accomplished, but the discussion will not be in vain if they learn from it what can be done. It was scarcely neces sary for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to defend the revenue from the attack made upon it ; the good sense of the House came to its rescue, and re jected Sir Fitzroy Kelly's motion by a majority of eighty-five. The result would probably have been the same had Mr. Mill not spoken, but there can be no doubt that his arguments, heard for the first time in Parliament, will sink into the minds of his hearers, and make future agitation for the uncon ditional repeal of the Malt Duty more hopeless than ever. Any proposal, h ow ever, for the trans formation of the tax, which, not effecting its net produce, offers a way of escape from the evils now alleged to be incidental to it, will at all times re ceive full consideration from the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the House of Commons. Beer is not an " evangelizing power," but there is no reason wliy the making of Malt should be interfered with, except for the purpose of maintaining the revenue. Let Mr. Read mature his plans in full confidence that they will be accepted if they prove to be feasible. But the produce of the tax cannot be given up, and justice requires that it shall in some way continue to be levied on the consumers of beer. The main tenance of a surplus, and its application to the re duction of the Debt, are not the crotchets of soli tary thinkers ; recent events have to some extent lessened the danger of competition to which English labour and English capital seemed at one ' time destined to be speedily exposed, but the danger is postponed, and not averted. We have been often told of late " to be wise, and to be wise in time," and the advice could not be better applied than by determining that now, when our superiority is unquestioned_and our advantages un diminished, we will make it an object of legislation to reduce the burdens which an unthrifty and un just policy would leave undiminished to our suc cessors. lIERALD.—" God bless the King, but save the dinner"—God help the bill, but save the Ministers, is a tolerably exact resume of the prayers of Down ing-street at this moment. We do not feel at all sure that any very satisfactory ans ever is likely to come. The bill is past praying for. If it had not come to grief enough Lord Stanley has finally set tled its fate. Nobody has ever tried to answer him. No body by any possibility could have succeeded if he had tried. Vague talk about the need of reform a la Mill and Forster, and wild gesticulation of the Grey and Layard sort, are all that can be done for it. In truth, the thing was doomed long ago. There was for a time a hope that the Whig houses and their followings would have mercy; that they would help the bill through a second reading on the un expressed understanding that it was to expire by a slow death in committee; an-1 there was a good deal to be said in favour of this hoinceopathic pro cess of extinction. The bill appeared, in fact, to have been constructed with a special view to an emergency of the kind. First, the stupid proposal to disfranchise the dockyard men gives at once a decent opening for a hostile majority. The clause has nothing whatever to say for itself. Nobody pretends that the men are under influence of any sort ; they may occasionally (as at Devonport) be browbeaten by a Radical attorney fishing for evi dence under the patronage of their superiors; but the experiment is hardly likely to be repeated ; they are the elite of the working classes, if anybody in England can be so-called ; in short, the parents and god-parents of the measure have provided themselves at the outset with a capital chance of flingin g their bantling overboard. Then, there is the savings -bank question. Nobody but Mr. Gladstone cares much for this par ticular feature of the bill. The persons who have invested their capital in this way are peo2le to whose admission to the franchise there is no parti cular objection, and Mr. Bright's dislike of the proposition tells strongly in its favour ; but the Conservative party claim leave to admit many others along with them—the llochde,le and other co-operative societies, for instance, the freehold building companies (excellent borough voters, though not, perhaps, a desirable addition to the county constituencies) ; professional persons of all sorts ; schoolmasters, everybody whom the posses sion of brains entitles to a voice in the government of the country--all these will have their hearing with thoughtful people • they have not got it with concocters of the flurried farrago which is at present before the House of Commons as a Fran chise Bill ; and the hearing allows any number of opportunities for an adverse division. These are only a specimen or two of the way in which the bill seems to have been framed with a direct view to the possible expediency of infanticide. This mode of getting rid of difficulties has become almost a science in certain strata of society ; it seems that it is now to be extended to politics. Whether, how ever, the bill may be lost and yet the Ministry saved is very far from being clear. Some 40 or 50 of the habitual supporters of the Government are understood to be in grave doubt what they mean to do. Possibly they may vote for the secbnd reading of the bill, on the understanding that accidents are to happen in committee, and thus save the Ministers from the more immediate consequences of their folly. But people do not readily forgive a hoax, especially when it involves an insult to their under standing. It rather appears as if the less kindly disposed part of the victims were going to get help from an entirely unexpected quarter. Mr. Bright's paper of Monday is in a serious tremble about the matter. Certain Irish Liberal members were supposed to have declared their intention of sup porting the bill, by the mouth of a Mr. Cogan at Lord Russell's exhibition of " the happy family," to an admiring circle in Downing -street the other day. This gentleman's vehement rebellion against Whig dictation a couple of years ago was thought to have added some peculiar weight to his utterance on this occasion. Unfortunately he seems to have represented nobody but himself and Mr. Maguire. It was observed that among others The O'Donoghue and a few others were significantly absent on that occasion. Mr. Pim has dispelled any illusion that may have been produced by the officiousness of the member forKildare; the Tablet has taken the earliest opportunity for unpleasant plainness of speech ; and the recent intelligence from Ireland is not reassuring. People, there are asking themselves, as people here have long been doing, what on earth they have to thank the Whigs for ? That the bill is a caput mortuum they know as well as we do. That the present question is very simply, as Mr. Gladstone has put it with unconscious innocence, one of mere confidence in the Ministry, is equally clear. The Irish members not unnaturally ask, what is Ireland like to be the better either for the bill or its authors? As regards reform, obviously nothing is likely to be gained, though a good deal may be lost. A diminishing population can scarcely be advantaged by a measure, which, so far as it means anything, means mere representation of numbers. As regards anything else, the Government has been unluckily driven into a premature exposure of its views 'upon all Irish matters ; and what does the exhibition amount to ? Irish difficulties and Irish needs were set forth at the beginning of the session with a vigour and exactness hitherto unequalled. On the Conservative side of the house the statement met with an honest sympathy, which was unmistakeable. From the Ministerial bench all we learn is, that the " Catholic University" is a silly speculation, that the land question is beyond its comprehension, and that the Church business is not "ripe," though (if Lord Russell was on a somewhat celebrated occa sion anything better than a rank charlatan) it was ripe some 300 years ago. In plain English they have been told that Irish questions are capital foot balls for party play, but that nobody expects any thing to come of the game except here and there a few broken shins. Ireland, very naturally, does not see any good result from this sort of treatment ; and there is some vigorous bargain-making going on, notwithstanding Mr. Cogan's magniloquent profession that it would support her Majesty's Ministers " without condition." The light that his maladroit speech shed on former majorities he had probably forgotten, or he would have observed a more discreet taciturnity on so slippery a subject. But the Irish difficulty is very far from being the only one. The stupid wrong-headedness which produced a single-barrelled bill, in the hope that people would walk blindfold into a trap, open their mouths, shut their eyes, and see what the chapter of accidents would send them, will only begin to produce its suicidal results when it has been, for the moment, successful. The second rea din g of th . e bill will be far more fatal to the Whig p.e. artyvvlne the long run than its rejection can possibly, b do not pretend to regret the queer dilemma in Wyich the policy of Earl Russell h as placed a party which has allowed itself to be led for y ears past by noble instincts into a very ignoble position. \Ve have only to chronicle the dull upshot o f all its toiling through so many years—either the establishment by act of 0 • • ( tGe--••• •4 • G //~ ruicE.... 4d.

The sound of wheels commenced early in the High street this morning ; every one was astir, and the attendance on the Warren-hill and the running ground to see the gallops unusually large. Still there was a lack of excitement, speculation, and gossip caused by the position maintained by Lord Lyon. Never was there such a dull and uneventful night laid before the race as t h at of yesterday. Nothing w " h c o a "came," chosee ' ' and mightnothing have was their kn ock e d the it cr ack," and that was all sevens: four leho n Those • Janitor was second on favourite, but hardly more than in name, and place investments were scarcely mentioned.

They would be highly appreciated. W e look for` the presence of the Prince of Wales at the great Newmarket festi vals as a matter of course, and are happy to say his Royal Highness was allowed to enjoy the sport un molested by loyal but troublesome crowds. The attendance was beyond that of former occa sions, the people, horse and foot, extending in a dense mass from the Stand, at the end of the Row ley Mile, to the Abingdon Bottom, and logiotnotion was positively dangerous. The field for the great race was larger than was at first expected-15 com ing to the post out of the 17 coloured. Most of them, including Lord Lyon, were saddled at the Ditch stables ; but Student, Mr. Savile's two, Mount Palatine, Jack in the Green, and Apsley were saddled in the Stand enclosure. Very little time was lost at the post, and at a few minutes past 3 o'clock Mr. M'George despatched them. Descending the Bushes-hill the colours of the favourite were seen in front, and from that point the race was over. Only four were left in it as they came up the hill to the chair, Lord Lyon winning very cleverly, witkeut being called upon, Monarch of the Glen, so little fancied that 1,000 to 15 might have been obtflined against him, finishing a length behind Lord Lyon, with Knight of the Cresce4 well up. Student ran fast to th 3 bushes, where he dropped back, and Janitor was beaten at the distance. Freedom was ninth, and Auguste was last, pulling up lame. The pace was good, but still, from the lot that were behind the winner we can scarcely estimate it as a Derby form.

After several break-aways the lot were despatched to an oven start. Indian Star, Brick, William Pitt, and King Arthur, on the higher ground, got away in advance, the re maining horses running well together, with the exception of Guinivelv, who brought up the rear. Halfway up the cords Indian Star shot out, and although William Pitt made his effort in the last 20 strides, and passed Brick, he failed to reach Indian Star,who won cleverly by a length, half a length between second and third. King Arthur was fourth, Haarlem fifth, Guinivere sixth, Paris seventh, Lord Douglas eighth, the last pair being Centaur and Vulture. Match-Bst 10Ib each ; last five furlongs of Rowley mile. 50, h ft.

Precisely at six minutes past 3 o'clock the signal was given to a good start. Robin Hood, who was sent to show the way for Janitor, made the running, and soon held a lead of half-a-dozon lengths. Wide on the left wore Free dom and Monarch of the Glen ; in the centre of the course The Student, Lord Lyon, Janitor, Apsley, Knight of the Crescent, and Auguste ; and on the right wore Leybourne, Sealskin, and the Rapid Rhone's dam colt, the rear being brought up by Jack-in-the-Green, Harefield, and Mount Palatine. They ran with little perceptible change to ap proaching the Bushes, where Robin Hood, The Student, Freedom, Apsley, and Auguste gave way, and Jack-in the-Green, Mount Palatine, and Harefield dropped several lengths in the rear. Descending the Bushes-hill Lord Lyon took a clear lead, and Janitor falling back imme diately afterwards, only Monarch of the Glen, Knight of the Crescent, and the Rapid Rhone's dam colt wore left to dispose of, but Lord Lyon held his lead, after taking it, to the end, and won cleverly by a length ; head between se cond and third, three lengths between third and fourth ; Janitor was fifth, Leybourne sixth, Robin Hood seventh, Apsley eighth, Freedom ninth, Jack-in-the-Green tenth ; and tho last lot wore Sealskin, The Student, Harefield, Mount Palati n e, an d Auguste; the latter, it was ru moured pulled up lame. 1 Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sovs each , 5 ft if decls are 4 , 0 dr.c., for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

VIENNA, April 14. The following comparative statement of the Austrian and Prussian armies when raised to their full war strength may not be uninteresting at the present juncture. The Austrian army, upon a full war footing (ex cluding the men not required for absolute service in the field, who number 34,000) amounts to 579,000 men, consisting of 431,000 infantry, 57,000 artil lery, 106,000 extra corps, drivers, sanitary aids, ambulance and field-hospital men, &c., and 42,000 cavalry. Deducting from the infantry and the jagers, the fourth battalions and depot strength (109,800) men), who remain in the country and the recruiting districts, the number of the available foot soldiers amounts to 321,000. Making a similar deduction from the artillery the extra corps and the cavalry, the two former could take the field with 77,000 and the latter with 35,700 men, amounting altogether to 433,700. The; Prussian army, upon a war foot in g , includes all descriptions of infantry, w ith the reserve regi ment of Guards, eight reserve regiments, o 6 substi tute battalions and companies (173,0 en) ; first Landwehr (98,800 men); a rtillery, extra corps, and train, with reserve and Landwehr detachments _ Guards and line cavalry, with 55 class Landwehr (116,00 0 m en), second class of (105,450 men) ; 37 000 men) • fi , rst class 0 men), second class Landwehr Landwehr (28,80 substitute squadrons together 78,300 ; in all therefore a (12,500 menp_ Prussia would be compelled to incorporate force of 566,15 0 ua m dr e o n n ( Calculating that on account of the strength of ' the first class of the Landwehr (144,000 in fantryaAtttos cavalry), originally reserve, above there Prussiane re would total have a c lB t n e t d e ileala f dn r from ms originally intended for garri dsout 83,010 men for infantry depots, fthollobwest 10,000 for those of cavalry, and 104,300 for second class Landwehr, together 198,310, who would have to be employed to garrison the principal towns, the 30 fortresses, including Stettin, Cologne and Deutz, Danzig, ‘l.llagdeburg, Posen, Cohlcnz and Ehrenbreitstein, Konigsberg, and would be stationed as depots in the recruiting districts. The available Prussian army would therefore amount to 367,849 men.
