The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsi at five o'clock. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC POOR. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition from Essex complaining that Roman Catholics were not on the same equality with Protestants in workhouses. PRIVATE BUSINESS 7 . The Dublin (City) Steam Packet Company's Bill was read a second time ; and the Grand Junction Water Bill and Swansea Gas Bill were read a third time and passed. • POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANK BILL. This bill was brought up from the Commons and read a first time. The second reading was fixed for this day week. LUNACY REGULATION BILL. On the motion that their lordships go into committee on this bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR stated the alterations he had felt called upon to make on this bill. It was proposed that there should be two medical visitors, but the noble earl (the Earl of Shaftesbury) had suggested that there should be but one, and he thought that suggestion was a good one, and therefore he proposed that the bill should be altered to that effect. He thought that one ade quately remunerated medical gentleman was far preferable to two whose remuneration was not at all of a certain nature. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he felt flattered by the adoption of his suggestion. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought that the law of lunacy required great amendment. The house then went into committee. _ _ COMMITTEES. The Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny Bill, Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Consolidated Fund (i 3,000,000) Bill passed through committee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The followi ng bills were read a third time and passed : Clifton and Dardham Downs (Bristol) ; Garston and Liverpool Railway; Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway ; Inverness and Aberdeen Junction and Inver ness and Nairn Railway Companies Amalgamation ; Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Branches to Shaw forth, &c.) ; Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Extension to Settle) ; London and North Western Railway (Eccles, Tyldesley, and Wigan) ; Marlborough Railway - Midland Railway (Additi ona l P owers ) ; an d Midland Rai lway (New Lines). The Inverness and Perth Junction Railway Bill was considered and ordered for third reading. The following bills were read a second time :—Clitheroe Gas ; Portsmouth Water ; Price's Patent Candle Company ; Thames Embankment. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS IN PRISONS. Mr. DENMAN drew the attention of the house to an error which had been committed in the votes relative to a petition which he presented last week from the inhabitants of Tiverton. The petition was against the appointment of Roman Catholic chaplains and schoolmasters in work houses, and was correctly described in the newspapers ; but in the votes it was represented as being in favour of " the full exercise by Roman Catholics of their worship in pri sons," which was directly contrary to its prayer. Mr. NE WDEGATE complained of a similar mistake in reference to a petition which he had presented. GALWAY CONTRACT. Mr. BAXTER moved for copies of all correspondence between the Treasury, the Post-office, and the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Ship Company, since the Ist day of Sep tember, 1860, with reference to the conveyance of the mails between Galway and America ; and of all reports made by the Admiralty Surveyors on the vessels hitherto employed, or to be employed, on that line.—Ordered. EAST INDIA (CULTIVATION OF INDIGO). Mr. LAYARD moved an address for copy of despatch from the Secretary of State for India in Council to the Go vernor General of India in Council in the Judicial Depart ment, No. 63, dated the Bth day of April, 1861, on the cultivation of indigo in the districts of the lower provinces of Bengal.—Ordered. COAL AND WINE DUTIES CONTINUANCE BILL. In reply to Mr. L. KING, Mr. CLIVE said that this bill would not be proceeded with this evening, in consequence of the illness of his right hon. friend the Home Secretary, but it would stand first on the list for Friday next. THE BUDGET. The house presented an animated appearance this evening, being very fully attended at an early hour by hon. members, while the strangers' gallery and the seats appropriated to members of the Upper House were crowded, and amongst the latter we noticed his Grace the Duke of Argyll, Lord Lyvedon, Lord Wodehouse, Lord Granville, Lord Eversley, and Lord Stratheden. The house having resolved itself into committee of ways and means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose at 25 minutes to 5 o'clock to make his finan cial statement. The right hon. gentleman said that the retrospect for the past year was one of the most unfavourable that he had ever to present to the house. The past year was one of the most important in a financial point of view, for it gave effect to the principle of free trade, and it removed all restrictive duties except those of a nominal character. (Hear, hear.) With reference to the expenditure of the past year, the estimated cost was £73,664,000, while the actual expenditure was £72,842,000, showing a deficiency in favour of the expenditure as com pared with last year of £822,000. In the expenses of the war in China £3,800,000 had been voted, while the expenditure for that object fell short of the estimated amount by £822,000, which showed clearly that there was no desire on the part of the Government to under-rate the public requirements of the past year. (Hear, hear.) With respect to revenue, it should be remembered that the year 1859 was most favourable for financial purposes, while in the year 1860-61 they had the severest seasons within the memory of almost every member of that house. The revenue for 1859 was £71,809,669, while the revenue for 1860-61 was only £71,003,669, showing a decrease of £806,000. To account for the deficiency of the past as conwred with the prez..ed lag year of £806,000. the year 1860 61 was short, because, in the first place, there were three days legs than in the former year, rind the financial Ir _ e g ee , i Pts Per day am oun t e d to £2OOO. The shortness of past year as compared. with 1859-60, was I . ca _ u _ g i e _ d _ b ! w t o h_e u la n t d t a erb e i ng a leap year and the former Aite4r),ubgntlthey6eariLia6n2d two Good Fridays (laugh would have no Good Friday at all (renewed laughter.) raking this shortness into account, and al lowing e fo fi r the daily reductions arising therefrom, the in question, as compared with the previousetyhieeenacry, amounted only £506,000, and considering to unfavourable cir cumstances of the present year, that deficiency was favourable by eornir t rison• By the 901:017se financial measure of last year of ts.:ll2e, removed taxes alone to the amount or, in round numbers , 43,000,000 ; but, The hired sailing ship Henry Fernie will embark he following troops for New Zealand at Ports mouth :-Ist battalion 12th Foot-1 subaltern, 2 sergeants, 2 drummers, and 145 rank and file, from Walmer ; 70th Foot-1 captain, 5 sergeants, 70 rank and file, 4 women, and 4 children, from Can terbury; Staff Surgeon Bews and Assist.-Surgeon Pout. On embarking the above the ship will pro ceed to Queenstown, where she embarks as follows : —2d battalion 14th Foot-2 subalterns, 2 sergeants, 198 rank and file, 18 women, and 19 children. A library of 320 volumes will be put on board for the use of the troops during the voyage, as well as a double set of games, sets of singlesticks with hel mets, &c. The following troops stationed in the South-West District are'ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Malta-2d battalion 4th Regiment, one officer and 40 men ; 4th battalion Rifle Brigade, one officer and 30 men; Ist battalion 22d Regi ment, Lieut. Baker and 20 men ; 2d battalion 22d Regiment, Lieut. H. E. Harrison and 30 men. The 14th Light Dragoons are under orders to leave their present quarters in Peirshill (Edin burgh), Perth, and Hamilton, and proceed to Man chester, and the first troop is to leave Peirshill to day (Monday). They are to be succeeded by the 2d Dragoons (Scots Greys) from Dublin. The 57th Regiment arrived at Auckland from Bombay on Jan. 22 by the ship Castilian, and a detachment of 150, under the command of Major St. Clair, embarked on Jan, 26 for Taranaki. Capt. and Brevet-Major Field, in command of a detachment of Royal Artillery from the Depot Brigade, has left Woolwich for duty at Great Yarmouth. The detachment consisted of Lieuts. MUjendie, Dadson, Davie, and Howlett, Assistant- Surgeon Evans, 12 sergeants, 9 enrporalg, 10 bom bardiers, 4 trumpeters, and 363 gunners, with la women and 19 children. In pursuance of instructions received at Wool wich on Saturday from the Horse Guards, one squadron and the headquarters of the 6th batta lion Military Train will leave Woolwich to-morrow the 16th, to embark at Liverpool for the Curragh Camp, in Ireland. The Ist battalion 2d Foot (Queen's Royal), daily expected to arrive at Spithead from China in the ships Alfred, Adelaide, and Indomitable, will, on arrival, disembark at Portsmouth and be stationed in that garrison. The- Ist and 2d batteries of Royal Artillery will, on their arrival at Spithead from China, in the ships Mars and Hougomont, disembark from those vessels at Portsmouth, and take over the horses, guns, and accoutrements of Colonel Turner's mounted battery at Hilsea. The 4th bat tery of the 2d Brigade, on board the same vessels, will on disembarcation be stationed at Dover. The Ist battalion of the 11th Regiment, under the command of Colonel E. Moore, and the 2d batta lion of the 19th Regiment, under the command of Colonel R. Warden, both stationed at Portsmouth, are under orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed from that garrison to Dublin. They will be replaced at Portsmouth by the 41st and 49th Regiments, from Aldershott. A vocal and instrumental concert took place on Friday evening in the Royal Artillery riding-school, Woolwich, under the special patronage of General Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.8., Commandant of the Garrison ; Commodore the Hon, J. R. Drummond, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen and superin tendent of the dockyard; the officers commanding the local corps of volunteers ; the members repre senting the borough of Greenwich. &c. The con cert was attended by upwards of 2,000 persons, and has been promoted for the benefit of the band fund of the Ist battalion (26th Kent) Royal Arsenal Volunteer Rifles, commanded by Colonel Parkyn. The house was thoroughly filled soon after 7 o'clock, the performances commencing at half past 7, and some 200 persons, it was stated, who applied for admission after that hour, were disappointed. The arrangements were under the superintendence of Capt. Piper and Mr. Prater, whose efforts, together with those of the general committee, were highly successful, realising, exclusively, of the expenses, a clear sum of £BO. The Athletm, hired sailing transport, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from China, with the following officers and men of the 3d Foot (the Buffs) :—Lieut.-Col. J. N. Sargent, in military com mand; Capts. T. Kains, E. K. V. Arbuckle, and W. Henry ; Lieuts. A. G. Huyshe, C. D. Baillie, and W. F. Ker ; Ensigns H. T. Halaham and H. Harri son; Assist.•Serg. J. H. Beath, M.D. ; 10 sergeants, 12 corporals, 4 drummers, and 330 privates. The troops have arrived home very healthy, only five being sick out of the whole number, and they can disembark from the ship without assistance. Three deaths have occurred during the voyage. The ship sailed from Singapore .on the 27th of December, 1860, and arrived at the Cape on the 3d February, 1861, sailing again on the 10th of February; arrived at St. Helena on the 22d of February, and sailed on the following day-, being her final port of departure for England. On the order being given at the Cape to heave up the anchor for England, the shin's crew refused to work or obey the orders of their commander. The ship was then taken in hand by the military on board, 28 of whom, volun• teers, were appointed to do duty aloft, the remainder working the ship on deck. Things continued thus for a week after leaving the Cape, when the seamen came aft and begged of their captain to allow them to return to their duty. The regiment will disembark from the Athletes in their serge tunics, the new clothing not having been received in time for issue. They await orders at Spithead. The Athletes is the first sailing transport arrived in England havingon board a portion of the China expeditionary army. The voyage home has been generally fine. Oa the 31st of March she spoke the Albuera, belonging to Messrs. D. Dunbar. at the same time, they felt called on to impose additional taxation to that amount. The right hon. gentleman then adverted to the decrease in the duty OR hops and malt, which resulted from circumstances which could not be foreseen or averted. The expenditure for the past year amounted to £72,842,000, and the revenue to £70,283,000, show ing a deficiency of £2,559,000. In considering that deficiency the house must remember that a sum of £350,000 went under the head of surplus revenue from 1859-60, but in fact that sum was not properly represented and was not applicable to the income of the past year, which reduced the apparent deficiency. Moreover, they started this year with a deficiency of £14,016, which had to be supplied. The receipts from the Customs were £273,382, and from the Excise £306,000, which showed a decrease in the year 1860-61 as compared with the previous financial year, but as he had already stated there were circumstances of an unfavourable character which operated in regard to revenue derivable from these sources of income. In alluding to minor duties the right hon. gentle man said the income for the past year hem wine w as £590,000, but the act relative to wine could not come into operation until after the summer, and therefore the results arising from this measure could not be estimated; for, notwithstanding the desire to issue wine licenses, some delay necessarily occurred in reference to them. The right honourable gentleman then went in detail through various ether items of income and expenditure, and said the house had abolished differental duties to the amount of £446,000, but they: imposed 2s. a gallon additional on brandy and other foreign spirits, which gave a balance in favour of relief extended to the community of £46,000. He then cited certain statistics that the importation of light French wines had increased to a consi derable extent within the last year, which he contended, was clearly traceable to the operation of the new tariff, and he stated the increase in the amount of their wines at 2,630,000 gallons, and of foreign spirit of 12,905,000. With respect to the estimated revenue, it was £21,361,000, whild .the actual revenue was £19,439,000. Having contrasted the relative position of the country in 1852, with the past year, he said that there was a considerable increase in the expenditure, but at the same time there was not a cor responding elasticity in the resources, and con tended thaf that result could only be met by such ILEPT SPEAKING.] THE ARMY. LONDO. 15, 1961. —...._ the volunteers assoc i a ti ng w i th the troops at Alder shot or elsewhere. I really should rejoice at such an arrangement. I think it would be an admirable thing for the various corps. The only objection I see to the proposal is, that I doubt very much whether the members of the corps have the necessary leisure or convenience for leaving their homes and ordinary occupations for more than 24 hours at a time. That is a very serious consideration, which it is for yourselves to determine, and with regard to which it is not for me to say yea or nay. In my opinion, certainly the Volunteer movement is a local one, and anything which takes men far from their homes is objectionable, on account of the inconvenience which it entails and which I should strongly depre cate. It is often said that the Volunteers wish this or that to be done, whereas the minority, or even the majority, may be strongly opposed to it; and this leads to grumbling and discontent, or what some personS call " putting down," of which the less that exists the better; and therefore I think proposals connected with any parti cular branch of the Volunteer force ought to be confined to what is useful and convenient for all the members of the corps. (Cheers.) But if you are of opinion that you can spare the necessary time, and are willing to undertake the journey, as far as the military are concerned, we shall rejoice to see you at Aldershott. (Cheers.) Your presence there would be of great advantage to you, as you would see what services the troops are called on to perform in the field, and what the officers are expected to learn. I throw out the suggestion in case it should prove acceptable, to show you that while I deprecate such meetings'as that at Brighton, I should at the same be the first to support any movement of the nature I have just adverted to. I need hardly add anything to what I have said ; perhaps I have already trespassed on your attention longer than I ought, but as one of your comrades, and holding dear the reputation of the regiment of which I am colonel, I thought the present a good opportunity of assuringyou that, as far as I am concerned, I rejoiced to find that the London Rifle Volunteer Brigade was not among the corps which went down to Brighton. (Cheers.) I have around me most excellent and valuable com manding officers of corps in London and its vicinity, and to them, individually and collectively, I beg to say that I conceive the country is greatly indebted for the exertions which they have made in further ance of this movement. It is one which, if kept as it ought to be and I hope will be, within due bounds, is of the most valuable description ; but, on the other hand, it is one which must be kept within due bounds, for if everybody were allowed to do exactly as he liked, we should get into a state of the most complete and helpless confusion. There is no wish on the part of the military authorities to interfere as long as volunteers are willing to abide by certain rules, and to be guided by certain regulations, but I would remind them that any movement of a mili tary nature which is not properly and thoroughly or ganised and directed cannot be of thatvalue which it would be if conducted upon those great principles of organisation and order which constitutes the strength and the importance of our military opera tions. I beg, gentlemen, to give you " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." (Loud cheers.) General Sir J. SCARLETT responded ou behalf of th 6 army, which had never been in better condition or more willing to perform their duty than at the present moment. (Hear.) It was not for him to say whether the volunteers were right or wrong in going to Brighton ; that did net lie within his pro vince to discuss, but considering the amount of drill which they had undergone, he was very much struck on that occasion by the aptitude for military move ments evinced by his countrymen who did not pro perly belong to the army. By cultivating that aptitude, by constant practice of company and battalion drill, they would be certain to acquire a great degree of perfection in their movements. Al though he had felt it his duty to bestow praise on them both to their faces and in his report on that occasion, it would be folly to suppose that what was excellent then would net have been much more excellent if it had followed a summer spent in care ful attention to drill in its various branches. If they listened to his advice he would exhort the Volunteers to follow the admirable instructions which had been given them that evening. Sir J. DUKE, M.P., returned thanks for the navy, and Colonel 31‘.1IunDia, 011 rising to respond for the Volunteer service, was received with cordial cheer ing. He said the manner in which the toast had been proposed must be doubly gratifying to Volun teers, from the exalted position of the chairman, who was not only colonel of one of the most impor tant and distinguished of the Volunteer corps, but, as the head of the British army, the advice coming from his lips was peculiarly valuable ; and if, as he believed he could do, he might take on himself to answer for the Volunteers (cheers), that advice would certainly be followed. It was a novelty for Volunteers to find themselves connected with the army, as they had found themselves that evening in the speech of the noble chairman ; but the same feeling of loyalty which had originally prompted them to offer their services would, he was sure, in duce them to work cordially with the regular forces. The power of an army was estimated by its num bers, its efficiency in chill, and its discipline. The numbers of the Volunteer force were those of a great army ; its efficiency in drill and in organisation was progressing rapidly, and its discipline when called on to exercise it was perfect, being based on the spirit of patriotism which gave rise to the move ment. It had been truly affirmed that not only in England but on the continent the movement had exercised a beneficial effect ; and within the last few days he had read a proclamation of the King of Sweden establishing throughout his kingdom volunteer corps based on the same regulations, laws, and constitution as our own. (Applause.) It ought to be a gratifying reflection to the Volunteers of this country that they had initiated a movement which was taking root firmly in Europe, and was likely to become one of its greatest pacificatorg. Lieutenant -Colonel HICKS, in proposing " The Health of the Duke of Cambridge," as colonel of the brigade, as a gallant general in the field, as Com mander-in-Chief of the army, and a Prince of the blood Royal (cheers), said he was glad to see that the progress of the Volunteer movement did not interfere, as had been predicted by some, with the progress of enlistment in the army ; but, on the contrary, had fostered and encouraged military tastes among the English people. " Trifles light as air," little jealousies, and private piques might endanger the stability of the movement, but as far as anything like jealousy between the army and the Volunteers was con cerned, there was not the slightest foundation for supposing that such feelings existed ; and an in dissoluble bond of union had been signed, sealed, and delivered, when their noble and gallant chair man took the wise and politic step of consenting to become Colonel of the London Volunteer Rifle Brigade. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE re turned thanks for the cordial and kind manner in which the mention of his name had been received. Allusion having been made to the fact of his con senting to become honorary colonel of the regi ment, he might state that he had done so for two reasons, —first, because he felt a great anxiety to respond to tl_ e compliment paid him by so large a number of the citizens of London ; and in the next place, because he felt strong conviction that the fact of the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's army becoming colonel of one of the leading regi ments of the Volunteer force would be an earnest that the Volunteer movement was in every respect acceptable to and would be countenanced by the armed body with which he was more immediately connected. (Cheers.) He regretted that his numerous duties allowed him to see so little of a corps with which he was proud to be connected ; hut, if the Lieutenant -Colonel should at any time report that a desire existed on the part of the members to be inspected or reviewed by himself, he should be very happy to meet them anywhere, at any time, for that purpose. (Loud cheers.) In responding., on behalf of the House of Lords, to the toast of " The Legislature," Lord COLVILLE said, he also appeared in the capacity of Lieutenant -Colonel of the Hon. Artil lery Company, and in the name of that regiment !IGADE! vice at sea. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, Captain Charles Fellowes, flag of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, K./1., having been repaired, was removed on Saturday, from No. 3 dock in Keyham steam yard into the basin, preparatory to her making a trial trip. The screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Capt. Ar thur Cumming, went from Hamoaze on Saturday outside Plymouth breakwater, to try her ma chinery. A Dutch 6-gun storesbip, from the eastward, ar rived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday, outward bound. The line-of-battle ship Meeanee, 80, which has been converted from a sailing vessel to a screw steamer, and fitted with engines of 400 horse power, was taken out of Sheerness harbour on Friday, and proceeded on a trial trip to the Nore to test her machinery, under the direction of the officers connected Trith tho .to4m department at sheerness. The trial lasted nearly seven hours, and was a most successful one, the machinery working remarkably well. The draught of water aft was 23ft. 10in. ; forward, 20ft. 10in. ; pressure, 20 ; vacuum, 25 ; number of revolutions per minute, 56 The Meeanee is attached to the first-class steam re serve in the Medway, and has all, her stores, spars, gear, and armament on board. She can be prepared ready for sea in 48 hours, as she requires nothing but her provisions and ammunition to be placed on board. The Undaunted, 51, 600 horse-power, is ordered to be attached to the third-class steam reserve at Chatham. The screw corvette Challenger, 22, 400 horse power, has been put out of No. 1 Dock at Sheerness. The Argus, 6, paddle, Commander Ingram, was at Gibraltar on the Ist of April. It is expected that she will be ordered home before her time is up, in consequence of the defective state of her boilers. On her last passage from Malta the pressure of steam had to be reduced as much as possible, owing to this cause. Commander Ingram has been made a knight of the order of the Rose by the Brazilian Government, in acknowledgment of his kind treat ment of the survivors of the crew of the corvette Isa bel, wrecked on the Morocco coast in November last. The docking of the Duncan, 101, screw, at Ports mouth, has been delayed owing to a want of water at the dock entrance. She will not be enabled to go into dock now before the next spring tides. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Cora• mender Jackson, left Plymouth on Saturday, accom panied by the gunboat Procris, Lieut. and Com mander the Hon. J. Carnegie, for Gibraltar. The steam gunboat Cockatrice, Lieut. and Commander Robert Gillson, left at the same time for Malta. Up to 10 o'clock yesterday morning no intelli gence had been received of the steamvessels Avon and Zephyr, despatched on Saturday by Port Ad miral Sir Houston Stewart from Plymouth in search of the capsized ",derelict ship seen the day before about 12 or 14 miles south by east from the Eddystone lighthouse. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lient. H. M. Carre, to the Cambridge ; Emilius W. Dubue, acting assist.- surgeon, to the Cossack ; W. E. Kelly, paymaster in lieu of a:clerk, to the Impregnable ; and W. K. Harriot, assist.-paymaster, to the Princess Royal.

After the loyal toasts had been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN said—l have now to give you the toast of " The Army, the Navy, and the Volun teers." With respect to the first two branches of the service, I am sure I but express your sentiments when I say that the volunteers of England are anxious to see the army and navy supported and maintained with the greatest possible ount of efficiency. (Cheers.) N o vo l unteer, I a scertain, would desire to see the army or navy reduced in order to keep up the volunteer force. Volunteers are anxious to be the auxiliaries of the army ; that is their proper position, and it is one Ns hick, I am sure, every right-thinking and right-feeling man desires and hopes that they will retain. I am therefore but expressing the sentiments of the vo lunteers of England when I ask you on this occa sion to do honour to the army and navy. (Cheers.) I now come to the last part of my toast—the volun teers ; and perhaps it may not be inappropriate that one in the position which I have the honour to hold should take the opportunity of addressing a few observations to the large and influential assembly over which you have called me to pre side. I very much rejoiced to find that my gal lant and distinguished friend who will respond to this toast, Colonel M'Murdo, took upon himself on a recent occasion to give to the volunteers whom he inspected a little advice very much to the same purport as that which on a former oc casion I myself tendered in this very room. What I then ventured to suggest was heartily and cheer fully responded to by all who were present at the time, and it has since been carried out, I hope, to a considerable extent. I then stated that the only way to make the movement really useful and efficient was by not allowing it to become a mere plaything, but by taking earnestly and heartily to the study of military duties and by beginning at drill from the very commencement. (Cheers.) It is not less absurd to ask children to run before they have learned to walk than it is to expect Volunteers to be efficient in movements upon a great scale before they are perfect in the minor details of drill. All who wish well to this great movement must make up their minds to this fact—that it is only by atten tion to drill that the approach to perfection, which is our great object, can ever be attained. Let me tell you frankly what we soldiers think of the Volunteer movement. It is almost an insult in ad dressing you to suppose that you do not wish to come as near as possible to the perfection of move ment of the regular troops. We, as soldiers, natu rally believe that you are anxious to attain that point of perfection, as far as it is consistent with your other avocations and duties, which of course do not enable you to attend as minutely to those matters as those who like myself professionally en gage in them. But to the extent of your abilities you are naturally anxious to approach this standard. How does the regular soldier arrive at perfection ? Each year every soldier in every regiment in the army, from her Majesty's Household Brigade down to the last number of the regiments of the Line, goes through a regular course of drill. They go through the squad, the company, and the battalion drill, and then through the brigade drills, and afterwards the movements in masses in the field. That, I think, is exactly the course which it is desirable for you to adopt, and the sooner that course is adopted the sooner you will ob tain that end at which we are all aiming, and you will be enabled to appear in line with the regular troops in a manner creditable to yourselves and satis factory to those in charge of you. (Cheers.) Perhaps in what I am now going to say I may be treading upon rather dangerous ground, but I have seen statements made from time to time respecting the conduct of the Horse Guards ; the other day, for instance, it was broadly stated that in pursuing a certain course they were actuated by all sorts of motives. lam at a loss to understand exactly what is meant by the term "Horse Guards," but I presume it usually has some reference to myself— (laughter) —and the statements to which I have referred were to the effect that every obstacle had been thrown by the Horse Guards in the way of —and that, in p ar ti cu l ar , we h ad not sup the Volunteer movonocuL—(urlea o f <, N o , n e) ported the meeting at Brighton. Now, on that point, if you wish to have my opinion, I sup pose you wish to have my real opinion. (Loud cheers.) My belief is that the meeting at Brighton was very well intended, and that nobody went there who did not imagine it would be a very great advantage to the Volunteer movement ; but I think they were wrong, and I think the meeting at Brighton was a great mistake. I would much ra ther have seen all those corps well employed at drill on that day, and then, at the end of the season, asking to have some extensive gathering of the dif ferent corps, associated with the regular troops, and to have some officers of the regular army to super intend their movements. (Cheers.) Had such an application been made to the Horse Guards, or to my noble friend at the War-office, we should have said that such a movement was most desirable, and most useful for the Volunteers themselves ; and vas should cheerfully have given the proposal every sup port and assistance. But, if you ask me whether I thought as much of the meeting at Brighton, I most candidly tell you I did not. However 'well meant—and I am perfectly certain it was well meant and well intended—l have no hesitation in saying that it was a mistake, and that I would much rather have seen a movement of the preli minary character I have mentioned—better calcu lated, in my opinion, for improving the drill of the corps. You may ask what were the grounds of objection to this meeting. Among others, then, I think it was the wrong , time of year. It was the time when every regiment in the country was engaged in squad and battalion drill, and when it was impossible to have the troops assembled with you. Another point is, why go to Brighton You have in the metropolis a very large num ber of corps, which can be easily got together; and I admit that it would be a most advan tageous thing for any three or four of these corps to assemble occasionally for brigade drill later in the year, according to arrangements made by the com manding officers for the convenience of their respec tive corps. In case Volunteers should wish to go to Wimbledon or Wormwood Scrubs, or to any other part where it might be thought desirable for them to assemble, there is nothing which my noble friend at the - War-office or myself would not readily do to facilitate the movement and to meet your wishes in every way. But, then, it is necessary that there should be something like system in these movements. What was the object of this meeting at Brighton ? We were told it was to be a sham fight. Well, I suppose it was a sham fight. (Laughter.) My gallant friend Sir James Scarlett says he was present on that occasion, and that no thing could have been more properly conducted than the field-day at Brighton; that the greatest anxiety was shown by the Volunteers to do their work properly, and that great order and excellent system were shown in bringing the various corps together. But still it was a description of drill which, to my mind, had really no result. The in tention of the voluhteer force is to be, as far as pos sible, auxiliary to the army. It' it should happen that to-morrow the volunteers were called out for active duty, they would be associated with the army. Then why not let us act in peaceful times, when there is no hurry or confusion, as we should be called upon to do in dangerous times, and accustom ourselves to the performance of services such as the necessities of the country may require P Why should we not do now what we should be called upon to do then, associated with the regular army ? (Cheers.):l am told that the Horse Guards throw every obstacle in the way of the volunteers. I ask you whether my presence this evening is not the best answer to that most extraordinary statement. (Loud cheers.) I rejoice to find that what I have just said has been accepted by you in the spirit of candour and frank ness which I anticipated. Some persons have sug gested that it would be a very good thing if some arrangement could be made which would admit of THE NAVY, j, Rear-Admiral Erskine's division of the Channel fleet, comprising the Edgar, 91, screw (flagship), Capt. James Katon ; Trafalgar, 91, screw, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe ; and Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. J. H. Cockburn, arrived at Spithead at 1 p.m. on Satur day, under canvas, 14 days from Lisbon. Their news has been anticipated by the arrival of the Tagus, Peninsular and Oriental Mail Company's steamer, at Southampton. The Vixen, 6, paddle, Commander Frederick W. Richards, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the Pacific. She sailed from Valparaiso on the 10th of January last, and entered the Straits of Magellan on the sth of February. Arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the Ist of March and sailed again for England on the sth of the same month. The last 10 days of the passage calms and easterly winds were experi enced which may retard the arrival of the Ganges, 84, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir R. L. Baynes, at Spithead. Nothing had been seen of the ship on the passage home. The Vixen brought home some supernumeraries, who were landed, and immediately afterwards she left Spithead on her way to Wool wich, where she will be put out of commission. She is very defective. The Royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. Hon. J. Denman, sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday morning for Madeira, calling in Cowes Roads to take on board live stock, &c. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Commander H. F. M'Killop, sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday for the Chops of the Channel and Pembroke. On reaching Pembroke she will assist in towing the Defiance, screw liner, round to Devon port. Rear-Admiral Wipff, commanding the Dutch squadron lately lying at Spithead, with his suite, accompanied by the Netherlands Consul, Chevalier Vandenberg, were entertained at dinner on Satur day, by Vice-Admiral H. W. Bruce, commanding in-Chief at Portsmouth, at the Admiralty-house in the dockyard, where a distinguished party was as sembled to do honour to the gallant Admiral. Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, Admiral Wipff embarked on board the Sprightly steam tender, Master-Commander Allen, which conveyed him to Spithead, where he embarked on board his flagship, the Evertsen, 51, screw, Capt. Vreeland. Both ships immediately got up steam, and by 11.30 a.m. the Evertsen and her consort the Zeeland were steam ing out to the eastward on their way to the Texel. Previous to Admiral Wipff's embarcation he ex pressed in the warmest terms, on behalf of himself and his officers, their gratification at the courteous reception they had received from all parties, the military and naval authorities, and civilians, during the stay of the squadron at Spithead. Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart went out on Thursday afternoon in the screw steamship Hero, 91, Capt. A. P. Ryder, from Hamoaze to Plymouth Sound, in company with the screw steamship Con queror, 101, Capt. E. S. Sotheby, C.B. The admiral returned in the steam tender Avon to Mount Wise. The iron paddlewheel steamvessel Weser, 6, Com mander Arthur H. J. Johnstone, from Woolwich, which arrived on Friday afternoon in Plymouth Sound, went on Saturday into Hamoaze to be re paired, having sprung a leak. She goes to .day into No. 3 dock in Keyham steamyard. The Weser is bound for the Danube. The gunboats Hyena and Nightingale went on Friday outside Plymouth breakwater to make a trial of their engines. The trial is stated to have been so satisfactory that the engines are fit for ser he offered their grounds for the approaching cere mony of the presentation of a set of colours by the Lady Mayoress to the London Rifle Brigade. Lord ELMO returned thanks on behalf of the House of Commons, whose duty, he said, it would shortly be to afford some assistance in putting the force on a more permanent footing. The "Health of the Lord Mayor" followed, and, with the remaining toasts, was drunk with much cordiality. THE STATISTIC'S OF THE INCOME TAX. 1815. 1843 . 1860. Middlesex ..

On the other hand, the increase was slowest in the three counties of the northern group (Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland), and in Rutland, Wilts, Essex, and in Huntingdon, being in each of these counties under 25 per cent. Passing to the later period, we have as the coun ties in which the increase has been most rapid Glamorgan, which has already gained 94 per cent. on the valuation of 1843; Carnarvon, 52; Mon mouth and Denbigh, 42; Surrey, 39; Lancashire, 38 ; Durham, 36 ; Middlesex, 32 ; Brecon, 31. In no other county has the increase amounted to 30 per cent. In Somersetshire (which has been almost stationary), Oxfordshire, Cornwall, and Hereford shire, it has been less than 5 ; in Huntingdon, Berks, and Devon, 6 ; and in nine other counties less than 10. It will be observed that we have now at the lower end of the list three south-western instead of three northern counties. In six counties only (Northumberland, Cumberland, Hamps hire, Brecon, Denbigh, and Glamorgan) has the rate of increase been more rapid during the later than during the earlier period. Passing next to the items of which the schedule is composed, we have first agricultural land, the annual value of which appears to have risen from about £24,500,000 in 1803 to £39,405,703 in 1815. These figures refer to Great Britain, but in those which follow we take the returns for England only, and it will be necessary to include tithes, inasmuch as commutation rentcharge is entered as "land," and consequently, in order to make the comparison a fair one, the amount assigned to the earlier years to tithes, as separately taxed, must be added to " land" in the accounts of those years. Making the requisite deductions for the tithes of the city of London, we shall get for the annual value of agri cultural land and tithes in England— )Bls . • • • • • • • • • £37,043,855 1843 .. • • • 42 094,630 1860 .• .• • • • • .. 42,954,204 The result is that in the last 17 years the annual value of land and tithes has increased about £850,000, that is to say, somewhat more than 2 per cent. The following list includes all counties which furnished returns exceeding one million in 1815, and gives the corresponding figures for the later years. The figures are as follows :- 1815. 1843. 1860. York Lincoln . Somerset. Lancaster Devon. ......... 1,494,403 .. 1,671,690 .. 1,581,414 Essex .......... 1,293,700 .. 1 ,396,439 .. 1,440,702 Norfolk 1,266,818 .. 1,715,411 .. 1,831,978 Northumberland. 1,071,347 .. 894,722 .. 906,526 Glocester .. . 1,028,940 .. 1,161,115 .. 1,170,948 Kent Wilts 1,055,582 .. 1,100,536 .. 1,097,808 It will be seen that in the last-named county there was a considerable decline. The same was the case in Middlesex and Surrey. During the last 17 years (1843 to 1860) the annual value of land and tithe together had risen 19 per cent, in Radnorshire, 12 in Hefts, 11 in Cumber land and Lincoln. In no other case has the increase amounted to 10 per cent.; and there has been a decline of 1 per cent, in Somersetshire, 2 in Berkshire and Derbyshire, 3 in Westmoreland and Sussex, 4 in Lancashire and Staffordshire, 5 in Devonshire, 15 in Cornwall, and 16 in Middlesex. The counties in this list are somewhat singularly grouped. As might be expected from what has been said, we have three' belonging to the South western division; but it is more surprising to meet with Middlesex, Lancashire, Stafford, and Derby, although, no doubt, the constant encroachments of tire regice moles have left year after year fewer acres for the plough in those districts. The rental of houses in Great Britain assessed to the income-tax was in 1806 somewhat under £12,000,000 and in 1815 about £16,250,000. In 1843 it had risen to £38,475,739, and in 1860 to £53,767,916—m0re than four times the amount of 1806. The comparative statement which follows comprises all counties, the returns from which in 1860 exceeded £1,000,000: 1843. 1860. Middlesex.... £5,082,367 £9,213,476 £12,224,380 Lancaster .... 1,488,6,55 4,777,536 701998 York 822,859 2,707,514 4 , 044 , 5 86 Surrey 1,065,736 2 ,158,726 3,078,631 Somerset Kent 546,502 Warwick Stafford 246,495 818,994 1,287,749 Chester Sussex The rental of the City of London appears to have risen from £1,068,775 in 1815 to £1,369,515 in 1843, and £1,592,538 in 1860; and that of West minster from £1,309,969 to £2,176,516 and £2,517,004. The return from Paddington was £236,263 in 1843 and £705,216 in 1860 ; that of Islington £307,000 in the earlier year and £717,000 in the latter. The counties in Which the increase since 1843 has been most rapid are—Flint, 168 per cent. ; Brecon, 145 ; Carnaryon and Glamorgan, 134; Anglesea, 128; Carmarthen and Monmouth, 88 ; Durham, 71 ; Stafford, 57 ; Derby, 54 ; Sussex, 53 ; and Bedfordshire, 51. No other county has increased as much as 50 per cent. ; but York shire (49) and Lancashire (47) follow immediately. As to the Welsh counties, it is difficult not to sup pose that there has been either a change of prin ciple or a more careful assessment in the later year. At the same time ;t must be stated that we also find three Welsh counties at the lower end of the list. In Merioneth the reported decrease is 27 per cent., in Radnor 6, in Montgomery 5. It is observable that these three are (with Wiltshire) the only coun ties in which population declined between 1841. and 1851. In no English eounty has the aggregate value of houses decreased; but the increase has been only 6 per cent. in Cornwall, 7 in Somerset, and 8 in Herts. With reference to the other items of Schedule A, it is only necessary to say that the profits of rail ways in England, which were entered as £2,417,610 in 1842, appear as £10,732,838 in 1860 ; that mines are stated at £616,203 in 1815, at £1,903,794 in 1843, and at £3,658,517 in 1860, and that iron works (not separately stated in 1815) contribute £412,022 in 1843, and £1,134,012 in 1860. The ironworks of Staffordshire alone in the later year are nearly equal to the whole return of the earlier, while those of G lamorganshire have increased from £19,848 in 1843 to £163,560 in 1860. It is right here to mention that Schedule D (which is fairly entitled to all these items) is understood to have gained credit for portions of some of them by mis- The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, in the course of his last financial statement, that " the best mode of making an estimate of the rate of increase in the wealth of the country is to resort to the in come tax. No other criterion," he added, "is com parable to it ; for, though it may not be an exact index of the truth in this matter, yet, as be tween one period and another, I believe it to be an index on which we may safely rely." It happens that a return very recently printed gives in detail the amount charged under Schedules A, B, and D of the act upon each parish in Great Britain for the year ended the sth of April, 1860. For the year 1842-3 we have a return nearly simi lar, and for 1814-15 we have accounts not as full, but sufficiently so to enable us to institute compa risons which at the present time are more than usually interesting. We begin with Schedule A, which has been called, with no great propriety, " the Landlord's Schedule," and which, in fact, charges not only agricultural land and tithes, but also houses and buildings not occupied in conjunction with land, as well as the profits of railways, mines, quarries, ironworks, &c. In 1803, the first year in which the tax was levied upon the plan now adopted, the amount of Schedule A was about £38,500,000 ; in 1810 it had risen to £ 52 ,000,000 ; and in 1815 to £60,297,166. For 1842-3 (the first year of the present tax), its amount was £95,284,498 ; and for 1860 no less than £ 1 26,056,829, more than three times as much as in 1303, and more than twice as much as in 1815. Before showing the amount of increase in different descriptions of property, we will give the figures for some of the larger English counties, including all which contributed above £2,000,000 in 1815, or more than £3,000,000 in 1860. In this comparison, however, it will be proper to exclude the amounts contributed by railways, which, being assessed at the head offices of the several companies, give to particular counties an advantage not properly be longing to them. The figures so corrected are as follows : take in the first year of the tax ; but as far as the figures for subs equen t years ena bl e us t o j u d g e, th e amount so erroneously entered cannot have beeti large. Before quitting Schedule A, we may that in the year 1856 the number of persons exereli, under this schedule ia as, in England 501,035, and in Scotland 61,788. The aggregate amount of their .. income was only £8,587,229, giving to each indivi t dual " landlord' an average revenue of someNch il more than £l5 sterling. Passing over two intermediate schedules, we come to Schedule D, and it will be well to giv e , l l , the first place the actual figures, which are as ' e lows, taking the net amounts assessed :- 1801 (Estimated at about) 515,000,0 00 1803 34,80,000 •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• 1815 1843 „ 1860 84,373, 0 ° the It must, however, be borne in mind that figures for 1803 and 1815 include all incomes ceeding £5O, while those for 1843 include only comes amounting to £l5O, and those for 1860 11l which amount to £lOO. It is probable that, should have to make the comparison a fair one, we sh eu ra have to deduct at least £5,000,000 from the re tu d of 1851, so that the increase in the trade income s persons receiving more 'than £lOO annually betW,c..o that year and the present date cannot be less tp; £50,000,000. The amount brought in by the e a tension of 1853 is known to have been betWe i e ue £9,000,000 and £10,000,000, so that the a mount t i s to the expansion of trade and commerce since I° ' appears to be about £17,000,000. to In the figures which follow we are unable make the proper deduction from the older retuttr; and the increase of trade incomes is consequ el Li i underrated. Taking all the counties from w,„'", the return of 1860 amounted to £1,000,000 and wards, we have the following list :—. 1815. 1860.

Holloway's ointment, well rubbed over the spine, nape of the neck, even in the fullest habit of the body, prevents an overflow of blood to the head ; and, in conjunction with his pills, dispels the alarming symptoms of giddiness, dimness of bight, and hoarseness or sighing, all of which are sure forerunners of those diseases of the head which, unchecked, do irrepa rable mischief to both mind and body, rendering Vno former childish and leaving the latter motionless.
