THE BUDGET. The Times thinks the return of the income tax to a fourpenny rate—it seemed that an appreciable section of the House did not know its present rate—and the reduc tion of the sugar duties by one-half are proposals recom mending themselves to everyone. Sugar is an article, as Mr. Lowe observed, found not only on the breakfast table, but also on dinner, tea, supper, and even after supper tables. The most noticeable point about this alteration is that whereas six years since, when the sugar duties were last under discussion, we were dinned with " jaggery," " melado," and the advocates of a uniform duty, the principle of classifi cation remains unimpeached. The reduction of the sugar duties involves a sacrifice of £2,350,000 of revenue. A penny income tax has grown to £1,250,000. The abolition. and reduction of minor duties will cause with these changes a total diminution of revenue of £3,996,000 leaving an estimated surplus of £331,000. So, at least, Mr. Lowe said, but his figures can only be reconciled by supposing that he here omitted the additional £150,000 of the gun duty, and that the real surplus is £481,000. There can be no doubt the Budget thus sketched will receive the hearty approbation of enlightened opinion. It is based on the just principle of making all members of the community contribute to the support of common burdens, and if it lacks the brilli an t surpr i ses of last year, which could not, indeed, be repeated, and hews an unexpected want of courage in dealing with the permanent question of the National Debt, its broad out lines are faithful to the policy of true statesmanship, and it is fitted to maintain that elasticity of the national revenue which is the cause of its own most agreeable features. The Standard pronounces that Mr. Lowe's speech was, even for a Budget speech, unusually tedious, He had, moreover, the misfortune to rise in a House already fatigued and rendered impatient by an unexpected discus sion on the proposed erection of a railway station opposite to the Mansion House and by a long series of ques ,tions." Following, without Mr. Gladstone's skill, the example set by Mr. Gladstone, he"kept to the last the only thing which any one cared to hear—the amount of surplus and the manner in which he proposed to dispose of it. But he occupied the first hour, not as his chief used to do, with philosophical disquisition, or with those wonderful efforts of rhetoric which, from 1860 to 1866, so often contrived to render arithmetic itself amusing, and made Mr. Gladstone's budgets the very fairy tales of finance, but with a minute and tedious explanation of the details of expenditure and revenue for the past year, as compared first with the expendi ture and revenue of 1868-69, then with the esti mates of April last. He went into every single item, and explained its increase or diminution, its excess over or reduction from the estimate. Altogether the Budget is likely to be a popular one in the towns. The rural population will feel that their interests have, as usual, been wholly overlooked ; as usual,. they will see that they must wait for the return of financial relief till a Conservative Minister, at the head of a working majority, has the opportunity of bringing forward a Budget whose success does not depend upon the forbearance of his opponents. The most interesting portion of a financial statement, says the Post, is that in which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer explains the manner in which he will dispose of his surplus, and on Monday evening the House of Com mons was more than ordinarily anxious to learn in what way Mr. Lowe would apply the considerable surplus at his disposal. But no one was surprised to find that his financial policy for the forthcoming year was based on the established principle that direct and indirect taxation must go hand in hand, and that no class of the public is entitled to absolute immunity from burdens which in justice ought to be shared by all. It is, as Mr. Lowe `observed, the duty of a Financial Minister to make every one feel a little uneasy. Acting in accordance with this principle, but at the same time recognising what well may be regarded as prior claims, and having r egar d to the exp e di e n c y o f abolishing imposts which are vexatious without being productive, Mr. Lowe told how he proposed to use his surplus. On striking a balance between the remissions and the available surplus it will be found that Mr. Lowe has still upwards of £330,000 to meet unexpected contingencies. Of the diminution in the income tax nothing need be said, but probably never was so great, or at the same time so necessary, a remission effected in an indirect tax as that which Mr. Lowe has had the courage to propose in thus dealing with the sugar - duty. The Pall Mall Gazette considers that Mr. Lowe ap peared to most advantage in the discussion of the pro posals to which he could give no countenance. For the time the House of Commons was to him as one vast deputation, successively urging the paying off of the National Debt and the relief of the sufferings now in flicted on brewers. Mr. Lowe is not singular in his dis belief in the inability of the latter to get the cost of their licenses out of their customers. The quality of beer is not, unfortunately, so stationary as this complaint would seem to imply. To the project of devoting all future sur pluses to the paying off of the National Debt Mr. Lowe was distantly civil. It is a project which must recom mend itself to everyone who is not charged with the responsibility of carrying it out. But to a prudent Finance Minister, it will always have two fatal faults. In the first place, it would destroy that salutary equalisa tion of forces by which one claimant for remission of taxes is made to answer another; and in the second best it would deprive the Government of one of th e i r best pleas for resisting wasteful expenditure. A man asks for money to be laid out on this or .that object; the Government remind him that it can only be found at the expense of his favourite crotchet; and, added Mr. Lowe, with a keen sense of past success in this line, "he goes away rebuked." The Telegraph declares that the second budget of Mr. Lowe is not less striking in its simplicity than his first was in its surprises. Having a nett disposable surplus of £4,297,000, he gives remissions of taxation amounting to £3,966,000, leaving himself with a margin of £331,000 a g a i n st the issue of the current year.. And how does he distribute the relief to the tax-payer repre sented by these four millions sterling ? The answer, in its broad features, was distinctly stated beforehand in our columns on Saturday week. The Income-tax is brought back to the ante- Abyssinian figure of 4d. in the pound, involving a reduc tion of £1,250,000 ; half of the sugar duties is swept away, causing a reduction of £2,350,000 ; while a crowd of little vexatious burthens are abolished, and one or two im ortant modifications are effected , at a gross cost to the -Revenue of some £350,000. Such, taking its main out outlines, is the Budget of 1870 ; as much disa pp ointin g over-sanguine anticipations as the Budget of 1869 disap pointed gloomy apprehensions. - - - - The Daily News observes that Mr. Lowe is the most fortu nate of Chancellors of the Exchequer. In his first year of office, that which has just expired , h e secured a sur p lus which enabled him not only to well nigh pay off the balance of the debt created by the Abyssinian war, but to abolish the corn and fire insurance duties, and take a penny off the income-tax. On Monday night he was able to announce that in the year 1870-71 he would have a sur plus of £4,337,000, and that nearly the whole of this amount would be applied in the reduction of ' taxation. Mr. Lowe expatiated, with just pride, on the flplendid results shewn by the figure of his -Budget to have been achieved by that policy of economy to which he and his colleagues have been true through evil report and good report. Our revenue is now the largest raised since the last three years of the French war ; the pfunded debt stands at the lowest point it has reached within living memory, and Mr. Lowe is keeping an eye on the funded deb gts t hem , e a wc i e d an d na o cve e le s not yet despair of some day lessening . its vast proportions.

James Murphy, a young man, better known by the cognomen of " Jemmy the Duffer," was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting three young women named Ellen Ellis and Margaret Langley (sisters), and Sarah Morgan. Ellen Ellis said the ptisoner was last night pointed out to her in Wind mill-street as having assaulted her sister. The pri soner then cams up to her and asked her if she was looking for him, at the same time tra';ing use of 'vile langusgP, awl then struck her in the face making her mouth bleed, and in the presence of a police-ser geant struck her •severd times and kicked her in the stomach. E la Harrington, also a si- , ter of Ellis, gave similar evidence. Sergeant Wiltshire said the pri soner struck and kicked the complainant Ellis. He was committed for two months' for the assault on Ellis, for two months' for the assault on Langley, and for three months' for the assault on Morg in. WESTMINSTER. Alfred Jupp, a dirty-looking lad, was charged with driving a velocipede furiously to the common danger. John Grant, 289 B, said that there was a great nuisance caused by these roughs driving veloci pedes all over the roadway at the corner of Horse ferry-road and Strutton-ground, Westminster; the prisoner was with others recklessly riding about, and obstructing the crossing, persons having to wait some time to prevent being knocked down by bycicles. Prisoner was driving furiously, and witness got into the middle of the road and tried to stop him, but he was going so rapidly that he got away ; after a smart chase he was captured. Prisoner had nothing to say to the charge. Ile was fined ss. or 4 days. This is the first conviction for riding &velocipede furiously. THAMES. William Richmond, aged 32 years, and described as a labourer, was charged before Mr. Lushington with committing two impudent robberies in the West India Dock. Yesterday afternoon a constable named James Kemp stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the dock, and raid to him " You have got two jackets on; one of them don't belong to you ; where did you get it ?" The prisoner said the jacket and the coat beneath it belonged to him. The constable detained and stripped him of his coat and jacket, when be dis covered a parcel of tobacco weighing 12 ounces up his coat. The prisoner then said he picked up the jacket, and that the tobacco was given to him. Kemp detained the prisoner and made inquiries. The jacket was owned by Abraham Abrahamson, the mate of the ship Charlotte of Derby, and the tobacco by Herr Harpp, the cook of the ship Orion, both lying in the West India Dock. He descended into the cabin of one ship, and took the jacket, and to the forecastle of the other and stole the cook's tobacco. Mr. Lushington committed him for three months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE FRENCH FUNDS. According to Reuter's telegrams the French Rentes to-day were quoted 73f. 65c. A PROTEST AGAINST THE FUNDING BILL.—The national banks and private bankers of the city of Chicago and several representatives of other banking institutions in the West have held a meeting at Chicago to considek the new Funding Bill. After some discussion a memorial to Congress was resolved upon, protesting against the bill, as likely to cause " wide and general disaster." A FENIAN ON THE IRISH LAND BILL.—Mr. J. Savage, " chief executive of the Fenian Brotherhood " in America, has issued an official address on the subject of Mr. Gladstone's Irish Land Bill. The document, among other things, says that the bill has disap pointed the expectations of those who were foolish enough to trust to it. But henceforth it trusts that there will be no excuse left for agrarian crime, whether committed by l an dl or d or b y t enan t , an d that these deplorable deeds will, therefore, cease. The Fenian remedy for all the grievances of Ireland is "fixity of tenure and valuation of rents." But no reasonable man could expect a parliament of landlords to concede as much as this. Therefore, this bill, which was to be ' a death blow to Fenianism," will not embarrass Fenianism in the least. There are two other prominent Irish grievances —besides that of the land—the maladministration of justice, and excessive taxation. The tendency of the Tenure Act will be to render the former grievance more universally and oppres sively felt than ever. Judges, sheriffs, magistrates, and jurors, all appointed by the Crown on un-Irish principles, is a system of judicial administration not calculated to secure confidence in the courts or respect for the law. N o thi ng can make people so law-abiding as the knowledge that the laws which they obey are their own. It is important to have better laws for Ireland ; but it is a hundredfold more necessary to have better judges. The root of this and all other grievances is alien dominaticn ; and there is no other rats* t 2; tkpg tilEn 1141-governnitny., COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

BUFFET AND THE PLEBISCITE. The Timer remarks that although the gloomy recollec tions of 1851 caused every sensible man in France to shudder at the bare mention of the word pl6biscite, still the Emperor would have found his Ministers ready t o humour - him in that scheme on which his heart was so strongly bent, had only a clear understanding on the sub ject been possible between them. M. Buffet, for'instance, although he doubted the necessity and policy of the pro posed measure, although he deemed the Sovereign's direct appeal to the people under any circumstances incompa tible with the principles of parliamentary rule, would still not, within certain limits and on his own terms, have withheld his consent. ire would only have stipulated that no question should be submitted to the people's sa nction before it had been fairly discussed and before it had received a favourable vote in the Senate and the Legislative Body. We need scarcely point out than such a co ndition defeated all the Emperor's purpose. It i s only when it departs from the forms of ordinary parliamentary government that a pl4biscite ceases to be a ;are delusion, and becomes a treason and a sna re. It is when the Sovereign takes the people by surprise, overrides the Legislature, and, so to say, passes his exceptional measures over its head. It is the right of doing all this that the Emperor, whether consciously or not, claims as his prerogative, and it is upon these pretensions that M. Buffet's colleues, w ho pledged himself to bring back the me s ys tem of representative government in France, ought not to consider themselves at liberty to come to a com promise. It would, however, be most unjust not to make allowance for the immense difficulties with which the 011ivier Ministry have to contend—the necessity of avoid ing, a collision with the Emperca ; the anxiety to keep their place to the exclusion of the old Imperial advisers, who are only too ready to push them from their stools ; the necessity of confronting " extreme parties " on all sides, and steering a middle course between senseless reaction and unbridled revolution. But there is danger also in a too cautious and wavering policy ; danger for a man in following any other policy than his own. M. 011ivier and his colleagues did not take office merely to play the parts of MM. Rouher and De Forcade la Roquette. That part were better left to MM. Rouher and De Forcade la Roquette themselves. At the annual meeting of the Torbay Regatta C o mmittee on Monday afternoon, it was announced that that the harbour at Torquay, which has been some years in course of construction, chiefly with the view to accom modate yachts, would be formally opened during the s l immer. It was resolved that on the day of the opening, and in connection with the regatta, an ocean yacht-race should be run from Southampton to Torquay, tow li 149 glniil244. which 5# P 4 smujitd RM.

METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHN'S WOOD THIRD EDITION. The Third Edition of The San of last Evening was published in time for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. RAILWAY. Mr. CHARLES FORSTER moved that this House will, upon Monday the 25th April, resolve itself into a com mittee to consider of authorising the cancelling of the bond, which under the fifty-third section of " The Metro politan and St. John's Wood Railway (Extension to Hampstead) Act, 1865,' has been given by the Metro politan and St. John's Wood Railway Company to the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty Treasury, for securing the completion of the railway authorised by the said Act." The motion was agreed to. CANADA. Mr. MONK asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention had been called to a tele gram dated Ottawa, April 8, which appeared in the Times, to the effect that the Minister of Finance had stated that the Canadian Government intended to disregard the 'opinion of the law officers of England as to the appropria tion of the Intercolonial Railway Loan of last year; and whether the Government had received any information confirmatory of that statement. Mr. MONSELL said through the courtesy of Mr. Reuter his attention had been drawn to the telegram, but the Government had received no such intelligence, although they had received two telegrams from the Governor of Canada on two other subjects. ROADS AND BRIDGES IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Mr. S. PARKER, The LORD ADVOCATE said he did not think it would be possible to deal with the matter during the present session ; but next year he hoped to be able to do so. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, that the House at its rising adjourn until Monday, the 25th of April, Sir WILFRID LAwsoN rose to call attention to the serious public injury caused by the delay in introducing the Government Licensing Bill, and to the imperative necessity for dealing with the question during the present session. He thought the greatest injury was being done by the Government delaying the announcement of their policy on a subject which was attracting the utmost attention in most parts of the country, and which inter fered with the prosperity, the comfort, and he might say the lives of the people. Fourteen years ago a committee sat on the subject, and recommended early legislation, yet time went on, and nothing was done. It however was attempted by private members to deal with the matter, and he had himself twice introduced bills, the last of which was on the 12th of May, last year. The Home Secretary opposed that bill, and stated that the Government had a bill virtually ready, but they had delayed introducing the measure under the impression that the House was not prepared to take up the matter. He sketched out the policy, - and then said that next session the Government intended to deal with the subject in an efficient manner. That declaration doubtless swelled the majority against his (Sir W. Lawson's) bill, but notwithstanding the promised bill had not yet been introduced by the Government. He had been accused of being an enemy of the trade, but he was an enemy of no honest trade, and he had never condemned those who carried on a business for which they had the sanction of law. He thought the trade ought to be dealt with fairly, and that the bill ought not to be kept dangling over their heads. He could not admit that there was a subject more impor tant than that which was calculated to check pauperism and crime, and as the Government had admitted the evil it was their duty to deal with the matter, and that with no niggard hand. It might be said that the Government had been already overdone with work. He sympathised with them, but it was in his opinion most important that a measure whose object was to check poverty and crime should not be laid easily aside. It was true the Government had brought in a Peace Preservation Bill for Ireland, but he thought a bill of the same description was most urgently required for England. He was quite aware that a great many important measures now stood for decision, but he thought the most important—if the Government had a good bill calculated to deal with one of • .the greatest evils of the day—it was their duty to bring it in, and if it was approved of there was a support out of that House which he would receive, and which would enable him triumphantly to carry it through with success. Sir S. IBBETSON seconded the motion. He said he had tried to deal with the matter in a limited extent, and he felt that the bill he had introduced last year had done a great deal of good, as it had prepared the way for a larger and more adequate measure. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE said he did not wish to under rate the ample exertions of the hon. baronet, the member for Carlisle. He had done a great deal of good, but he (Mr. Osborne) was not inclined to find fault with the Government for not bringing in the licensing bill. He did not see there would be any earthly use in doing so, to let it be a dead letter on the table to be shot at by every member who felt so disposed. He thought the Govern ment would be unwise to bring in the bill until they saw a fair opportunity of dealing with it and successfully carrying it, and he hoped the Home Secretary would not add to the block of business, and put another omni bus in the way. The fact was the Government was striving too much, and with respect to the matters in that House, he must say there was a thirst for information, that appeared to him almost wonderful. Instead of two or three questions, as was formerly the case, they now had a string of them, upwards of twenty long; and no subject was omitted, for they had even thought that policemen's hats were not beneath attention. They lost hour by hour with useless talk, and it appeared now almost an impossibility to get into Committee of Supply. The hon. member for Peterborough was maimly responsible for that, as he appeared indefatigable and curious in his desire to obtain information. The Government had brought in the Land Bill ; that, he thought, would have been quite sufficient for a session ; but in addition to that they had got an Educa tion Bill and then the Ballot, and now it was asked to give them what was called the Licensing Bill, but which was the Permissive Bill in disguise. He was quite sure that the Government would not be able to accomplish the first three bills, and he fully expected in a short time to see a murder of the innocents this year that would exceed in extent all those that had ever taken place for many years—(hear, hear). If the Government got through the Land Bill, it would be as much as he expected, be• cause he began to see signs for the erection of tombstones over the Education Bill and the Ballot, and for his own part he should not object to see them both decently inter red for the present year. The Land Bill was the subject calling for their utmost attention, and it would be most important to dispose of that before they began the consi deration of others, important though they might be. Mr. BRUCE said the dealing with the licensing system had been surrounded with the greatest difficulty, and when he had undertaken the duty he found he had greatly underrated the labour. It interfered with no less than forty Acts of Parliament, and the labour of completing this exceeded all his expectations. He was quite ready to admit the impolicy and injustice of the present law, and he agreed with the hon. member for Waterford that it would not be well to introduce the measure he had prepared without he saw a fair prospect of passing it during the present session. The bill was prepared, and he should only be too glad to introduce it, and although he did not yet quite abandon that hope, yet if he snould fail for the present, he should be in a position on the very first night of the next session of Parliament to introduce the measure, and thus take the earliest opportunity of carrying the motion, he hoped to a successful issue. He was quite ready to bear his testimony to the bill of the hon. baronet (Sir S. Ibbetson)—it had done a great deal of good, and he hoped the larger measure would result in a like success. Before he resumed his seat, he might say, with respect th.t. _l44 l o§_ Pg l 4. .s:4 l j9k fit. 424 fos the 25th of April, it was his intention to have the bill committed pro forma for the purpose of introducing certain amendments and clauses to embody the provisions of the bill that had passed the other House on the subject of Metalliferous Mines, and he had no doubt that when that was done they would be able to dis. pose of that matter in a single sitting. Mr. MUNDELLA complained of the factious opposition which was given to the progress of the Land Bill by hon. genthmen opposite. T bey had been over seven days awl a 1 alf in doing one clause and a half, and when the wholo of the 300 amendments would be disposed of no one could After a short discussion the motion for the adjournment was agreed to.

The Ministers of Commerce and Foreign Affairs have appointed a commission to study, from a tech nical and international point of view, the questions raised by the proposals addressed by the United States to the European and American Governments relative to the joint determination of arrangements for the preservation of Submarine Telegraph Cables in peace and war. SPAIN. MADRID, April 11. Further details of the attack upon Gracia have been received. The troops attacked the town by the Calle Mayor, and the insurgents then left the town to gain the mountains, but found the neighbourhood occupied by troops, and, not wishing to fight in the open country, they returned to Gracia. In the first attack the insargents had a slight loss. Upon their return to Gracia they endeavoured to occupy the houses awl thus continue the contest, but they found them all shut against them. Many of the insurgents were then killed and wounded by the troops. BRAZIL MAILS. LI VERPOOL, April 12.
