REVERTING to some of the proposals of Mr. Lowe's Budget there are two or three points worthy of com ment. The first is that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will have nothing to do with crotchets. There are persons who would abolish indirect taxa tion ; there are others who denounce the Income Tax in terms of almost theological bitterness; there are others so self-denying that they would devote the surplus from year to year to lightening the burdens of our grandchildren. As vre pointed out more than a week ago, in antrzipating the financial statement, there is something, a good deal, in fact, to be said against every form of taxation ; but there is nothing so serious that it ought to be considered a reason for abolishing any particular form. Custom 3 duties are expensive; income tax is inquisitorial ; but then by retaining the two, we retain the power to make a taxpayer sensible of his burdens if Govern- went grows extravagant, at the same time that we prevent the burden from being unduly felt so long as proper economy is exercised. Further, Mr. Lowe has set his face steadfastly against the idea that any one class is to be exempt from taxation. Mr. White, indeed, had the courage to complain that little was done for the poorer classes, in face of the fact that nearly 21 millions are taken off sugar, and that a foot-hawker is henceforth to be allowed to take his goods to the cottages of poor villagers without paying for a £2 license, which, of course, has to be borne by the purchaser of his goods. But the member for Brighton was alone in his complaint, and will scarcely find many sympathisers among the electors of London-super-Mare, or elsewhere. It is sufficient answer to him that the working classes get about two-thirds of this year's remissions. Mr. Lowe disclaimed any idea of being a "moral engine." His duty was simply to make people as little uneasy as possible. Nevertheless, there were two features of his budget which sheaved some regard for moral considerations. The first of these was the new firearm tax. This was prompted in some measure by the desire to check the increasing practice of carry ing arms. We know t o w h a t l amen t a bl e resu l ts it has just led in France. We know what power it gives to American rowdyism; and, unfortunately, we know also that it was absolutely necessary to pass a law for the special purpose of putting down thi, practice in Ireland. The practice has minor evils resulting from it. It is one of the most fruitful incentives to poaching, and it leads to one of the most cruel of sports. A. tax of tel a year is scarcely likely to deter the golden youth who display their courage in shooting pigeons at Hurlingham; but it will mike the London rough 'pause before he cele brates his holiday by butchering hedge-sparrows and skylarks. The alteration with regard to the malt dqty was, no doubt, prompted chiefly by fiscal considerations ; for if that duty is touched, the duties on wines and spirits must be adjusted; yet even Mr. Lowe may have seen the moral advantages to be derived from maintaining taxes on luxuries so deleterious as in toxicatins. srinks. He was too clear-sighted not to Lee through the fallaOics of Mr. Bass and his friends and lie pierced them with the arrows of his raillery Fortunately he was able to give the agriculturists the boon for which they have been asking so long, the power to feed their cattle with barley food There are two stages in malting—the first suffices to render the grain fit for cattle ; but it requires the second to render it fit for the brewer. Stop at the first process and give me guarantees that you will do so, says Mr. Lowe, and you shall grow and malt your barley to your heart's content. Henceforth, it is to be hoped, we shall hear nothing more of the agricultural interests affected by the malt tax. Mr. Lowe has separated them, and from this time forward it will be understood that the °Worts to reduce the malt tax are prompted by the wish to enrich our already enormously wealthy brewers. THE House of Commons has held its last com mittee on the Irish Land Bill previously to the Easter holidays. Since the commencement of the Session, the Legislature has directed its whole atten . tion to Irish affairs; the Land Bill and the Coercion ' Bill have excluded almost all other public business ; and yet tho approach of the vacation finds the first measure in a state of almost hopeless confusion. The committee has passed the first clause, postponed the second, and horribly mangled the third without completing it: the rest is a blank. That part of the bill which has come under discussion is, indeed, the mcst important. Were it finally disposed of, rapid progress with the remainder might be hoped for. But the great prin ciples involved in these first three clauses yet remain unsettled, and the some three score clauses still untouched must claim a considerable minimum of debate. With the utmost expedition, it will be difficult to get the Bill passed through both Houses in time. If independent members act after Easter as they have acted before Easter, it will be almost impossible for the Government to ensure success. Long-winded platitudes about the rights of property, wasteful re-discussions on points already disposed of, amend ments which nobody could be found to * support, and amendments which in substance were mere repetitions of former amendments—such are the expedients by which the time of the nation has been squandered, and the business of the nation neglected. On Thursday Mr. W. Fowler moved that occupiers paying a higher rental than R5O should be debarred from compensation for eviction merely, and restricted to compensation for improvements. He was beaten after a gallant fight. The very next day Mr. Kavanagh moved an amendment, different indeed in terms, but of precisely the same import, as he himself acknowledged. "The decision of the committee last night," he said, " must be considered final ; he should, however, move it, and oiler a few remarks in doing so.' Here is statesmanship. Mr. Kavanagh proffers an amendment which he admits has been moved before ; the division, he grants, was decisive ; and yet he decides to go over the ground again, and raise a lengthy debate in doing so. Such conduct is discreditable on either side- of the /louse. Members are perfectly justified in examining all pertinent issues; but t o d e b ate the same voyiso again and again conclin.t_Tr9itkr Ahmum.—At Seven, My Precious Betsy.

An Unhappy Pair THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, lB7O. et those cliques WllO mannuiy talk eacn otner out when religious questions are on the way. The first clause applies only to the Ulster custom, which now attains the force of law. The second, which still awaits decision, affects those customs which prevail out of Ulster; and it is the intention of the Government to move that such usages as resemble the Ulster tenant-right, though without the nine Northern counties, be treated on the same footing as the tenant-right itself. The third clause, dealing with those holdings on which no custom has gained a footing, has been the great bone of contentian. It has undergone woeful mutilation, and yet remains incomplete; but the Government have succeeded in retaining their original idea. The purpose of the third clause was and is to secure un protected tenants compensation for improve ments on the land made by themselves, and in addi tion a recompense for eviction considered merely as dispossession of the occupier, unless some good rea son can be shown for the exercise of the landlord's right. As the clause stood in the original bill, it was proposed that great improvements—permanent buildings and land reclamations—should be paid for separately, and in addition small improvements and the eviction payment were to be assessed accord ing to a scale, by which the compensation was limited to seven years' rent for holdings under £lO ayear, five years' rent for holdings between £lO and £5O, three years' when between £5O and £lOO, and not more than'two years' when above £lOO. It was declared to be impossible for a tenant to conclude a con tract with his landlord so as to deprive himself of the claim to these advantages. On the other hand the landlord by offering a 31 years lease', could redeem himself from obligation. Very different in form is the scheme as it now stands. Instead of minor ire- provementsaud eviction being paid for toge ther,the two assessments are separated. Further precision is thus given to the theory that the tenant has a right in his occupation of which he shall not be deprived without good cause. With separate claims for minor im provements, the payment for eviction is now fixed at a maximum of one year's rent when the holding is worth above £lOO, two years" when between £5O and £lOO, three years' when be tween £4O and £5O, and four years' between £3O and £4O. Tenants under this line have a choice. They may either claim separately for minor improvements and eviction, or lump the two together. Thus a tenancy between £lO and £3O gives right to a maximum of four years' rent with a separate claim for minor improvements, and five years' without; under £lO, five years' efith separate improvements, and seven years' without. The abso lute power given to a landlord to bar the eviction claim by a lease of thirty-one years, has been withdrawn. Tho prohibition of free contract is now limited to a space of 20 years, and above the range of £5O tenancies, all restrictions upon contracts is removed. A tenant above that line may surrender the benefits offered in the bill, if he thinks it to his interest to do so. There is much to be said in favour of this revolu tion in the third clause. The separation between the claims for minor improvements and for eviction more precisely defines the great principle of the measure, which is that the landlord who evicts, except for non-payment of rent or other cause of like magnitude, must pay a heavy fine for doing so. The power of eviction remains, but the tenant is protected by its being rendered costly. This a novel principle in English law; but if the necessity of the case demands it—and beyond doubt it does—there is nothing to be gained by any hesitating, half-con cealed definition. It may seem ihconsistent that poorer tenants should have the power either of making two separate claims, or of lumping the two together. This safeguard could not, how ever, be dispensed with, for it often happens that the small holder makes minor improvements which are not marketable—which cost much labour and are yet not capable of proof in a court of law. Clearly a poor tenant ought to have the option of standing upon such improvements separately, or of classing them with his eviction claim. Mr. Gladstone proposes to allow tenants above £5O to contract themselves out of the bill; but this concession is made with great reluctance, and only. In the face of severe pressure. The plea foz preventing tenants from foregoing the advantages furnished in the measure, is that if they were left free in this respect landlords might exert pressure to get clear of the bill, and the last state of the tenant would be worse than the first. And it is clear that if holdings above £5O be exempt from the prohibition, landlords will have a temptation to consolidate their territory into large farms, to the prejudice of the small holders. The danger is no DISFRANCHISEMENT. The bill for punishing the electoral offences 01 Beverley and Bridgwater is, as was expected, A mere measure of disfranchisement. No attempt is made to deal with the seats. One clause states that Bridgwater and Beverley are to cease to return members, and two others provide that the voters of each place who were guilty of bribery in 1808 will not be allowed to vote for the Western Division of the county of Somerset and the East RidinT, of Yorkshire, respec tively. Another bill disfranchises a number of the Norwich electors. great, but it is a danger. It would have been much greater, had Mr. Fowler's amendment, altogether excluding holdings above £5O from the compensa tion clause, met with the acceptance of the House. Such a stipulation would positively have bribed landlords to consolidate into large farms, and would have destroyed the bill. And yet it was mo-. jected by only 32 votes. The withdrawal of the option granted to the landlord of escaping the bill by offering a thirty-one years' lease is not a serious disadvantage to owners, because Mr. Gladstone has explained that if a tenant is actually offered a fair lease and refuses it, that circumstance will tell in moderation of his compensation claim. clai.s© as Uanada has been sttiaiodsly kept - out o= sight by emigration agents, and asks intending emigrants to seriously ponder on a few facts. These facts are that both men and women's clothes are double the price of such things in England ; gro ceries, crockery, and fuel are dearer than in Britain, while the severity and length of the winter renders far more firing necessary than at home. The in feriority of beef and mutton in Canada should, he observes, he considered as a set-off against lowness of price. The able bodied alone, says the rev. gentlentan, should come, as many will have to endure great hardship at most difficult and laborious work, under a burning heat in summer, and in winter terrible cold. LONGFORD. Tlie National party have speedily found another candidate to iightlheir battle for the seat from which Mr. Grcville-Nugent has been dispossessed. Captain Harman, son of the Hon. Kin:4- Harman, will stand on " Conservative-Repeal " principles, and will receive the support which was lately given to Mr. John Martin. It remains to be seen whether the Longford priests will continue the practices which ended in Mr. Grevillo-Nugent being first elected and then un seated. Unfortunately, if they do not " exer t themselves," th e Nationalists will. The late petition sheaved quite clearly that neither party had any ground for the assumption of superior electoral morality. Still, it is none the less true that the Longford priests are in need of reform in this parti cular. The Cork Examiner, a Roman Catholic paper, says their conduct cannot be too deeply deplored. THE LICENSING BILL. Mr. Bruce has made up his mind to try again. Notwithstanding one failure, and his answer of despair to a question, put the other night, the Home Secretary has not given up all hope of a Licensing Bill this year. He now promises to move for leave to bring it in on Thursday, the 28th, immediately after the Easter rec-ss. Thus, with the Tests Bill, there are two highly important measures not yet introduced; one first-class bill, that on education, not yet in com mittee ; and the great mea sure o f the session has not advanced beyond its first clause. TIIE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL. The deputation which waited upon the Premier on Monday afternoon did not adopt the League system of marching a battalion of 400 men to storm Mr. Gladstone's official residence. The number was small, but it represented fully 5,000 Noncon formist Ministers, and almost every sect had its dele gate. There was a Baptist, a Unitarian, a Wesleyan, a representative of the Methodist New Connexion, a Primitive Methodist, a Presbyterian, and an Inde p3ndent, besides several others. This body of Dis senting Ministers is hostile to three points in the bill, the power given to local boards to determine the form of religious teaching in rate supported schools; the Conscience Clause, which they say requires a Nonconformist British citizen to claim religious toleration in schools supported by national money ; and the permissive arrange ment for religious inspection. On the whole, these Nonconformists think the religious provisions of the bill amount to concurrent endowment. Mr. Glad stone tendered no direct reply. THE BRIGHT SIDE OF TAXATION. Some impati en t i n di v id ua l s read i ng an article in the Pall Mall Gazette, on " the boon which Mr. Lowe has in store for us," may be inclined to characterise it as an attempt to extract honey from gall. Nevertheless, there is much truth in the statement of our contemporary, that if the history of English taxation were more widely diffused, our present fiscal system would be better appreciated. The article points out that although this system is not faultless, it is at any rate a vast improvement upon the Georgian plan, and an immeasurable advance upon that pursued in earlier times. For instance, the popular objection urged against the income tax is its "inquisitorial" character, but the principle upon which it is based is so ancient as to justify us in calling it thoroughly Engish. In the 13th and 14th centuries all personal and moveable property was the subject of taxation, but the method became more and more searching in every successive reign. Complaints were frequent that collectors entered and searched every apartment in peoples' houses, and in the returns which have been preserved not only is every article mentioned, but the very room in winch it was found. What says the impatient taxpayer of 1870 to this retrospective bit of the " good old times ?" IN THE WAKE OF RORY. The Pail Mall Gazette has another article qn the wake of Rory," describing the various outragce which have rendered Meath the great blood spot amongst the counties of Ireland. Speaking Of the policy of " Rory of the Hills," the writer states that the majority of the small farmers in this part of Ireland, though not active agents in keeping alive the system of terror which so largely prevails, are secret sympathisers in the Rory movement. The policy theory is that the object of " Rory " and his men is not merely to execute a sort of wild justice in cases where anything like oppression on the part of land lords or agents has been practised, but to prevent rents from being raised. Farmers of fifty acres and more, the article states, have been, and still are, all doing remarkably well, and have a fear that landlords will .take advantage of their prosperity to exact higher rents from them, unless terrified into not idoing so. THE noAntaxci-OUT OF PAUPER GIRLS. A correspondent calls attention to the lamentable fact that 80 per cent of girls sent out to service from workhouse schools at the age of 16 return again at some time as paupers, and generally as pauper mothers. He suggests " the boarding-out plan "as one present alleviation, which might become a great cure, and says that there are many ladies in country places living in idleness, which is a burden to them, and maiden ladies and widow ladies collected in watering places and other localities where the affluent classes congregate, with no poor around them really needing relief, at any rate with not enough misery near them to expend their benevolence upon. If only some few of these poor girls, he adds, could be transplanted to such villages, and placed in decent cottage families, under the care of these ladies, a double purpose would be served—the children would get personal care and sympathy, which is what a child, and especially a girl, most needs, and the ladies would get an object on which to expend their sympathy. To enable this system to be carried out the writer advocates an amendment of the law which as it at present stands prevents the guardians of the poor from letting any child out of their hands, unless the person taking the child will adopt it altogether. THE STEAM ROLLER. Professor Huxley enforced a lesson in a practical manner at a lecture delivered by him a day or two ago. He exhibited a number of large razor edged flint stones, some with frightfully jagged edges and terrific points, and man y of them of great size. These were picked up from the roads as specimens of the cruelty inflicted on horses at the present time. The inscription upon the black board to which they were attached was as follows : "Instruments of Horse Torture employed in the Nineteenth Century on the Roads of the South of London, within the four-mile radius of Charing-cross. April, 1870." Professor Huxley is of opinion that public bodies laying down loose stones ought to be compelled to use the steam roller. His audience were decidedly of the same belief SCIENCE AT *CAMBIDGE. The University of Cambridge does not display any particular enthusiasm on behalf of natural science. The Syndicate has questioned the colle , 7es respecting their willingness to promote this branch of learning. The replies mostly denote " a want of concurrence in any proposal to raise contributions from the corpo rate funds of the colleges by any kind of direct tax ation." The Syndicate, therefore, can endow only one Professor's chair of Experimental Physics, at a cost of £660 a year. The outlay for a building and appa ratus will be £6,300. TWO SIDES OF THE EMIORATION QUESTION. Two letters appear in the Times on the subject of Emigration. One is written by Mr. R. W. Phipps, of Toronto, and holds out the attractions of Canada to intending emigrants; the other is by the Rev. T. L. Hanson, o(Ontarto, Canada Wrest, who wishes it to be understood that there are two sides to the question, the favourable and unfavourable. The chief object of Mr. Phipps is to point out what class of emigrants should come to Canada, and what should not. It is useless, he says, to send the refuse of workhouses, the irreclaimable idlers . Changing their country does not change their habits. Neither does he consider it advisable to encourage to any great extent the emigration . of mechanics, for the reason that Canada has a sufficiency of that class already. The description of labour needed, he adds, is that of agricultural men, who have been used to farm life in England.. Such men will find good wages, and acquire farms of their own. Mr. Hanson complains in his letter that the unfavourable .aspect of tlaa_ attest - ion of emicration NEW WORLDS. There is a fine opening for a few active explorers, not particular about a little risk, in Central Asia. Major Montgomery told the Geographical Society on Monday that a Pundit, who had been trained to explore the tablelands of Thibet, had discovered there prolific gold mines, and vast plains of soda and salt. Sir Roderick Murchison remarked that this infor mation was sufficient to justify the formation of several publiccompanies. Mr. Gladstone some time ago said that the Geographical Society would have to suspend its labours, for there were no new worlds to conquer. This idea seems to be very mistaken. There is a bound less region, presenting some of the most remarkable features in the world, stretching from the Himalayas to the wall of China, and all unknown to Europeans, except by means of misty traditions. Whoso love's adventure may find it amid the stupendous more. tains and boundless plains of Mongolia and Thibet; but the adventure seems to present a rather more than ordinary percentage of risk. , ou r > s, Clint BER MAJESTY.

The provisions of the - third amended raise some very serious qua Eons ; but after all there is no reason to fear that it will fail to do justice, if the Tiouse will but restrain itself and get it passed.

(To the Editor of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph) Sir,—Believing that your leading article of the Bth inst. upon Dr. Newman might produce erroneous impressions, I sent it, with an accompanying note, to the Very Rev. Dr. Newman. May I venture to request that you will insert his reply (which he permits to be published) in your next impression ? The reply bears immediate refer ence to the subjoined lines, which I take the liberty of quoting from the article in question "His (Dr. Newman's) position is a warning to all young and ardent souls who may be struck with the claims of Rome to the obedience of Christians. ifs has not found in her that rest and security for which his soul, longed, and he has been overlooked and slighted by her who, if the 'Mother of all Churches,' as she vauntingly proclaims herself, has certainly been a stepmother to him. His utterance at this time cannot but have a beneficial effect in deterring others from going over to a system as divided within itself and as devoid of mediate infallible direction as their own." I am, Sir, yours faithfully Sheffield, April 11, 1870. My dear Rev. Sir,—l quite feel the force of your appeal to me, and answer it without delay. Men are illogical when they conclude, a 3 the news paper which you send me, that because I disapprove of the actions of certain Catholics, therefore my faith is unsettled as regards the Catholic Church. No one denies that the Bishop of Orleans, in spite of his burning words against these same acts, has a firm faith in the Catholic Church ; no one calls him restless. 'Why, then, am I restless because I wrote a strong, but a most confidential, letter to my own bish)p, and to him atone, as a matter of sacred duty ? In the year 1862 I was, as has often happened in the course of the last 25 years (for Protestants have never let me alone), most groundlessly reported to be a wavering Catholic. I then used words in answer, which I will now repeat, and that with as great energy as I then wrote them. I have not had a moment's wavering of trust in the Catholic Church ever since I was received into her fold. I hold, and ever have held, that her Sovereign Pontiff is the centre of unity and the vicar of Christ. And I have ever had, and have still, an unclouded filth in her creed in all its articles, a supreme satis faction in her worship, discipline, and teaching ; and an eager longing, and a hope against hope, that the many dear Mends whom I have left in Protestantism may be partakers in my happiness.—l am, my dear Rev. Sir, most truly yours, April 11, 1870. JOHN H. NEWMAN. ANOTHER TRADES UNION OUTRAGE. A daring outrage has been perpetrated at Rotherham. A Sheffield contractor, some time back, purchased a bed of clay at the Holmes, near Rotherham, which he let to a Mr. Thomas Slack, a master brickmaker, to make into bricks. Two or three days ago a deputation from the Brrickmakers' Uniou waited upon Mr. Slack, and requested him to discharge the men in his employ, adding that they did not consider him entitltd to engage men for brickmaking purposes. Mr. Slack declined any terms or negotiations with them ! whereupon th e y l e ft , in ti mat i ng that unless he discharge d the men, he would "hear about it." Up to Saturday all was safe, but between midnight on Saturday and 6 a.m. on Sunday, 5,000 new bricks were completely destroyed. The police are investigating the matter. The Queen has consented, if her health permit, to open the Hall of Arts and Sciences at South ; Kensington, which is rapidly approaching completion.
