LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1861. fir MORTON PETO to-night is to ask the Under- Secretary-at- War whether the Government intends to proceed with the forts its the roadstead of Spit head. These forts are five in number, and with some others connected with the Spithead defences are estimated to mount 915 guns, to accommodate 2,860 defenders, and to cost £1,100,000, being, how ever, much more likely to cost double that sum. What reply the Government will give, we are rather anxious to see, being pretty confident that the money spent on these forts would be worse than thrown away. We hope no false pride will induce the Government to adhere to plans, merely because it has once accepted them. We say teuse than thrown away ; for, if any one will but take the trouble to look at the excellent map in the Report of the Commissioners in their Blue-book, it will be seen at once that the forts would be actually so built as to enable an enemy's fleet to steer into and through the roadstead without buoys or a pilot. To this very important point must be added another even more important. We may do the work proposed for the forts more effectually by iron-plated ships. They would probably not even cost more ; but of their superior efficiency and utility there can be no doubt. They would not show an enemy the way in; he could not sail past them, as he could very soon clear a fixed fort ; they could place themselves in any position most likely to damage him ; they could even take on board a number of marines, run alongside and board him if he attempted to pass. Indeed, in these narrow channels, a very fast ship of the enemy could not prevent a slower ship, or even two, from getting alongside and grappling him if heattempted to force a passage. In a word, an iron floating battery could be manoeuvred in any way which skill or eourage might suggest, while the fort, with defenders ever so brave or skilful, must keep its position. Another inestimable ad vantage would be that such floating batteries 1 would not be confined to the service of Ports mouth, if they were wanted elsewhere. Sup pose the landing took place near Portsmouth, as Lord PALMERSTON seems to fear might be possible, the iron vessels, with their steam power, eould dash forth, run down, and make short work of the enemy's boats and transports, while he could not fire on them without injuring his own ships. They rni g ht also, if need were, rapidly steam back again to Spithead. For this latter purpose it might be desirable that some of the iron ships should be of smaller draught of water, so that they might go where the enemy's large covering ships could not venture; they would be invulnerable among a fleet of boats and trans ports; and for defence of a harbour or coast, for which large supplies of coal would not be required, these smaller vessels would, in proportion to their number of guns, be as useful as any. We do hope that our Government will take these and other things into consideration, and instead of permanent forts, doing quite as mach harm as good, will spend the money on a class of ships which will be tar more efficient batteries, and will do service wherever they are wanted. The brilliant debate of last evening in the House of Commons has, at length, after three nights' discussion, brought the Great Budget Question to a definite issue between her MAJES TY'S Government and her MAJESTY'S Opposition. It is an alternative now between the remission of a considerable part of the duty on Tea, or the total abolition for once (again) and—this time— for all, of the duty on Paper. Mr. DISRAELI and his followers pronounce at last, distinctly and deliberately, for Tea in preference to Paper. Lord PALMERSTON says, quite frankly, " I myself prefer repealing the duty on Paper." And so say all of us ! is :thereupon shouted in chorus by the rank and file of the Liberal and ultra- Liberal supporters of the noble Viscount's Admi nistration. The position is now, therefore, per fectly comprehensible. The noble Premier himself acknowledges, while avowing his preference for Paper over Tea, he manfully acknow • ledges o n the part of the Opposition the perfectly reasonableness, if they so please, of their deciding in favour of the Tea, as against Paper, by preference. " I freely ad m i t: , he says " t h at i t i s a very legiti mate proposal to substitute a remission of the duty on Tea for the repeal of the duty on Paper." That is consequently the political situation as well as the fiscal alternative. The Opposition declares itself • in favour of the remission, after the first of October, of s a . per l b . on T ea i n preference to the abandon went thenceforth and altogether of the duty upon Paper. The Government declares itself on the contrary in favour of the total repeal o f t h e duty upon Paper, and, the r efore, against any remi ss i on at all of the , war duty of Is. sd. still levied annually in a time of Peace upon an article of daily use among all classes of society to the estimated Z 5 THE SUN. =I amount yearly of 77,000,000 lbs. Upon Thursday evening next, at a period not further removed from us therefore than the day after to-morrow, that distinct choice--Shall it be Tea P or Shall it. be Paper—will come formally under the consi &ration of the House of Commons. Already that House, in Committee of Ways and Means, has decided favourably in regard to the two first items in the series of resolutions brought before it as part and parcel of the year's Budget by the Chancellor of the Exchequer: By the first of these resolutions, the duty on Chicory or any other vegetable matter applicable to the uses of chicory or coffee, raw or kiln-dried, was on Monday, the 15th instant, fixed at the rate of 12s. per cwt. By the second resolution, the first really important resolution, the income-tax was imposed for another year, only last evening, on Monday, the 29th instant, at 9d. in the £1 upon all incomes above £l5O per annum, and at 6d. in the upon all incomes ranging between £lOO and £l5O per annum inclusively. Otherwise there has been remitted in the former instance, as com pared with the last year, the tenth penny, and in the latter instance, according to the same compari son, the seventh penny of this most oppressive and unpopular of all the War Taxes yet levied during a Time of Peace—a Tax still main tained, however, at 9d. and 6d., though pronounced long since by our present Chancellor of the Exche quer to be not only grinding and almost intolerable, but absolutely (it is Mr. GLADSTONE'S own phrase remember) nothing less than demoralising. Settled the Little Question of the Chicory Resolution ; settled the Great Question of the Income Tax Resolution—both of them satisfactorily—there follows next in order upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer's catalogue the third resolution—the Tea and Sugar Resolution. It is upon that Resolution, so far as it relates to the duty upon Tea, that the House will on Thurs day next, upon the day after to-morrow, be called upon to decide for or against the Budget, for or against the policy of Her Majesty's Government. It is apparently in itself a purely fiscal question, and in it when viewed as such, lies the weakness of the position occupied by Her Majesty's Govern ment. But it is certainly also much more than a mere fiscal question, it is peculiarly and in a very special manner, a political question, a question involving within it the whole policy of the Cabinet, and in it, when so viewed, lies the real strength of the attitude assumed in that position by Her Majesty's Government. The design of the Opposition, as it has now been at length formally explained to the House of Commons by the right hon. gentleman the leader of the powerful body of the Conservatives, is doubtless when regarded either politically or financially, as the noble lord the Prime Minister allowed last evening perfectly and strictly legitimate. It will evidence itself upon Thursday evening, when the third Budget Resolution comes under the consideration of the House of Commons in Committee of Ways and Means, by a very plain and comprehensible Amend ment, then and there to be proposed in Committee by the hon. gentleman the member for Liverpool, Mr. HORSFALL. An amendment to the effect that the word "Tea" shall be struck out of the place in which it now stands in that third resolution, and that in lieu of it there shall be inserted words continuing up to the Ist of October merely, the war duty upon tea ; a war duty, we all know, of ls. sd. per lb„ and insuring its fall to Is. per lb., after the let of October. That, of course, in antici pation of what would then be virtually obliterated from the Budget scheme of the year, the resolution immediately following,that proposing the alSolition of all duties whatsoever upon button-board, mill-board, paste-board, and scale-board, and with those upon paper of any and every denomination ! Let the House of Commons in committee decide upon remitting the supplementary sd. per lb. upon tea—a remission to date from the Ist of October next—and the notion of abolishing the duty upon paper necessa rily falls through altogether. Calculating the annual consumption of Tea at the rate already particularised, i.e. at the rate of 77,000,0001 b. per annum, the estimated result of this remission on the finance of the year would, in the first instance, that is, dating merely from the Ist of October, and allowing for no increase of consumption, £lBO,OOO less than a round million, or £820,000 in all! Though it is not to be overlooked of course, as a circumstance apart from all reasonable calculation that the loss would be inevitably and materially reduced by the certain increase of consnmption consequent upon a remis- sion of duty so very considerable. The bait held out to the majority iF, no doubt, tempting enough. The alternative about to be put to the House in Committee has been most adroitly selected. Nothing could well have been mote skilful than the tactics of the powerful Conserva- tive Opposition, Either way—so far as the remis sion in the abolition of a duty is concerned—the emintry will be the gainer. The advantage secured to the nation by the remission of the sd. per lb. upon tea being, however, manifestly far more generalised, far more widely diffused among the people, far more directly brought to the homes and hearths of the labouring popu- [ation than that other, in it se lf, o f course, obvious advantage ensured to the commerce of the United Kingdom by the total repeal of the duty upon paper! A repeal of duty very welcome to trade, very advantageous to literature, very desirable for educational purposes, and especially desirable n our great newspaper establishments. But still —we must perforce admit thus much—not by any means so directly as the sug gested remission of sd. per lb. upon tea, " coming home," according to- Lord BACON'S phrase, " to men's business and bosoms," coming home, literally home, alike in the noblest mansion and the humblest cottage in the land, to every family circle of Eng lish men, women, and children. The reply of Loa]. WonEnousE to the Earl of MALMESSBURY last night will be read with entire satisfaction on both sides the Atlantic. It is at once kind, respectful, and wise. It expresses the interest which all of us feel in the peace and prosperity of the great country which has sprung from ourselves; it shows a right estimate of the position which the Union has taken among the principal nations of the world ; one which, like many parents in regard to their adult offspring, we were rather slow to accept fully and cordially as we now do so; and it shows that our Government is ready, as our people are, to be, if we could, of any service in healing the unhappy breach between the South and the North; bat, that we do not proffer our advice unasked, and, therefore, probably un welcome, to either party. It is, indeed, with one party only that we are at present in diplomatic relations. Under the circumstances not only of our com mon family and language, but of the probable effect of so painful a calamity as civil war in America on our political and commercial interests, Lord MALMESBURY did not doubt that her MA JESTY'S Ministers had already done their utmost, " by officious means," to bring about an arrange ment by Which So dreadful a calamity might be 4 Yoted. Ire wished therefore to ki1976 THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY ',EVENING, APRIL 36, 1861. whether the Government " had made any attempt to prevent the•quarrel between the States from coming to a bloody issue ;" secondly, " what hopes they entertained of succeeding in so laudable an endeavour ;" thirdly, " whether they have invited, or are in correspondence with any European Go vernment," with a view of putting a stop, at its commencement, to the threatened civil war. Lord WoDsuotTsE replies, expressing the uni versal feeling of the calamity which civil war in the United States would be; but, after the most mature deliberation, the Government had come to the conclusion " that it was not desirable that this country should intrude her advice or counsel on the Government of the United States." If the advice were soli cited, Lord WODETIOUSE indirectly intimated it might alter the case, but the Government thought that " a great and independent nation" might not welcome any advice of ours respecting her internal affairs. Lord LYONS is only therefore authorised to express on " every fitting occasion" the desire of the QUEEN'S Government that the difference between the North and the South may be peace fully settled. His lordship could not help inform ing the Earl of MALMESBURY, with a sly and hu morous explicitness, that Lord LYONS had not been instructed to give either " officiously" or officially, any counsel or advice to the American Government, unless it were first asked for by the contending parties themselves. The sacred proverb respecting "those who meddle with i strife which belongeth not to them" was cer tainly never more applicable than in the present case. Each of the contending parties would have grounds to suspect our disinterestedness. With our Anti-Slavery sentiments we could not advise the North to concede anything in regard to the extension of Slavery, nor in reference to the recap ture of fugitives from unrighteous bondage ; the South would therefore resent our judgment, so far, in favour of the North. lf, on the other hand, we counselled the North to concede independence or anything else, in the interests of peace, the North would believe that our cotton supply was of more account in our eyes than their hon our, or the power of the Union as one great nation. Neither party, for different reasons, would regard us as disinterested counsellors; though, in standing by the North, at the risk of injuring our cotton trade, we should certainly have the best claim to be considered free from selfish motives. The North has, however, wronged us, and all other manufacturing nations, by its protective tariffs, and most of all by the last one, a tariff it could hardly have carried but for the secession of the Southern States, which have already passed a far more liberal one. Nothing, therefore, amid all these complica tions, could be wiser than the course taken by our Government. It is, indeed, little likely that either party, yet, would be disposed to listen to the most impartial adviser. LATEST NE WS. TURIN, APRIL 30.

Less activity has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Sugars have slightly declined in value, while in ferior qualities of coffee have been also at reduced quotations. Rice, 'fruits, and spices, have been in moderate request, without any change of importance to record is prices. Saltpetre has been in more demand, and advanced rates have been obtained for the finer descriptions. Tallow has been in steady request, and a fair business has been done for home consumption, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 595,, and for last three months' delivery 555. 6d. per cwt. There was a fair demand for cotton yesterday at Liverpool, and prices were fully supported. The sales were 10,000 bales. A small quantity of gold, viz. £lO,OOO, was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday. To-morrow a call of £1 10s. per share is due on the Cork and Kinsale Junction Railway shares. The Tyne has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils with £104,000 for this country. A steady enquiry for money is reported in the general discount market, and greater activity is expected during the next few days consequent upon preparations for the 4th of the month. The supplies are still very abundant, while the banks and discount houses hold out for previous rates, and in some instances require a slight advance, but they still keep their terms sufficiently under the Bank of England minimum to prevent much first class business from being taken to that establishment. There has been very little movement in the English Stock Market to-day, the Funds having been well maintained, and a few purchasers have caused a slight advance. Consols are 91 1 for money, and 91Z- 92 for the account. Business has been extremely quiet, the speculators, as well as investors, showing no disposi tion to extend operations.

This is an appeal from a decision of the Lord Chancellor reversing a decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood, declaring that the appellant was entitled to be indemnified for all the expenses he lawfully incurred in fitting out and provision ing a vessel. From this decision the appellant appealed. The question in this case was whether the master of a !!! vessel in England had a right to indemnity out of the 7,1 freight, in respect of advances made in bills of exchange, st drawn by him for the sole purpose of enabling him to fit 8 1 up and adapt the vessel for the specifi c p ur p ose o f perform- st ing a charter-party. The vessel in question was the " Kennelwoith, she was morgaged with the freight for et, £3,500, and the expenses incurred in fitting up was £BlO, eta and £64 17s. 2d. of which was paid by the appellant out st 4 of his own money. Mr. John Beckworth Gower was sole st 4 owner, and the respondent was his assignee. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Kings down wore of opinion that, under t'le charter-party, the sty master had a claim on the freight earned for the expense incurred by him in fitting up the ship as a troop transport :I: ship. 2s. Lord Wensleydale and Lord Chelmsford were of a con trary opinion, and thought that it was ultra vires of the master to enter into such a contract, and in law he had no 8 lien on the ship or freight for reimbursement. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Court 81 below, and allowed the appeal with costs. APPEAL — JUDGMENT—HALL V.

SCANDALOUS DOINGS AT A TOLL GATE, AND ASSAULT UPON A POLICE CoNsTAßLE.—Thomas Clarke, a labourer, aged 28, of No. 17, Victoria Cottages, Plaistow, Essex, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk and riotous, and assaulting Benjamin Keene, a police con stable, No. 298 K. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, at the instance of the Commercial-road trustees. It appeared that at one o'clock this morning the constable was stationed at the toll-gato on the iron bridge over the river Lea, which separates the two counties of Essex and Middlesex. The prisoner and a host of others as drunk and as riotous came from the Middlesex side on to the bridge, and made what the policeman called a " bull rush " at the gate, with the intention of forcing it open, and evading pay ment of the halfpenny foot toll. Mr. Sed, the toll-collector, a very respectable and quiet man, remonstrated with the prisoner and his com panions, and said they eould not pass over the bridge until they had paid the toll. The prisoner abused Sed, threa tened to annihilate him, and used the most dreadful lan guage, while those ! , ehir d encouraged him by calling out, " Give it him; force the gate." The prisoner's efforts to open the gate prov3d fruitless, and he struck the collector two violent blows with his fist. Tho policeman imme diately seized the prisoner, who made a violent attack upon him, and struck and kicked him. The constable did not relinquish his hold of the prisoner, Lut on the road to the Poplar-station an attempt was made to rescue Clarke by his companions. Police sergeant Mountford, 34 It, went to his assistance and secured the prisoner. Mr. Smith eaid he withed t) have a summons against tho prisoner for assaulting the toll-collector and evading the toll, Mr. Woolrych—All the facts are before me, why not dispose of the whole case at once. Mr. Smith—lf you please, 'iir. After some conversation between the magistrate and the solicitor, and it appearing the only charge entered on the police-sheet was the asralt en the constable, gr. Woolrych said the prisoner's conduct was Very bad, and if any one dared t) evade the legal toll on the iron bridge a severe penalty would be inflicted. He fined the prisoner 405., or in default 21 days' imprisonment. The solicitor could take out a summons against Clarke for assaulting the collector and evading the toll. Mr. Smith—l will Certainly (19 that, sir. ThBe way raid, STRAND THEATRE. Last night a new piece, entitled " The Old Story," by 11. J. Byron, was proluced here with great success. A rich old bachelor, to test the sincerity of his friends, re ports himself utterly ruined, and, of course, finds out the real sentiments of his relatives. The disinterested are rewarded and the selfish disappointed. Mr. Clark and Miss Fenny Josephs represented the principal parts with great effect. The house was very fashionably attended, THE. TEA DUTIES.—Mr. Horsfall's amendment is to strike out the word " tea" in the place in which it at present stands in the resolutions, and to insert words con tinuing the war duty of ls. sd. per lb. to the Ist of October only, after which it is to fall to Is. per lb. As the consump tion of tea is about 77,000,0001 b. per annum, the effect of this remission on the finance of the year would in the first instance, and allowing for no increase of consumption, be £820,000; but the increase of consumption consequent on the remission of duty will of course materially reduce this loss. The Earl and Countess of Cawdor arrived in town last evening from the Continent, for the season. The Countess Dowager of Clare has arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Norwood. Viscount and Viscountess Boyle have taken Lord Wharncliffe's house, in Curzon-street, for the season. His Excellency the Persian Ambassador and suite have returned to Claridge's Hotel from Paris.

She arrived it i s true towards the close of last week in tlxis city, but she was the guest of a gentleman at Long sight. Her solicitor and counsel were also here for the purpc se of attending a commission of Major Yelverton. Mee. Telverton we believe left Manchester yesterday for Hull,. on her way to Whitland Abbey, the seat of the Hon. H. Velverton, uncle of the Major.
