ADVERTISER.—The Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so eagerly looked forward to for some time pasf, was last night brought before the House. Though it will, on several accounts, excite dissatisfaction, there are features in it which , merit commendation. The principle which per vades it is good, but the application of that principle is not so judicious as it m ight have been. The Budget does homage to the free-trade principle, and, so fat, therefore, it is satisfactory. But it is to be regretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have contented himself with a Sew peddling reductions of duty on articles which, with the ex ception of coffee, are not in general use. What benefit, we should like to, know, can the community derive from reduc ing the . auty on flint-glass, or on vinegar, or on currants P - Tire better course would have been to apply the principle of reduction to some one or more of those articles which are of Feneral consumption. In referring to the reduction which he proposes to make on the duty on marine assurances —a reduction of four-fifths in some cases, and of more than ,one-half in all cases—the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that when Lord Althorp made a similar reduction, in 1834, - he found that in two years afterwards, owing to the great increase in the amount of business, the revenue derived from this source was as great as before. And such is his faith in-the financial wisdom of the reduction which he him self proposes to make, that he fully expects that in two years the amount of revenue for marine insurances will be as great as it is at the existing high rate of duty. But the most de cided and most important recognition of free-trade principles, is made iu that part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech in which he entirely abolishes the duty on wool, and conse quently opens our ports to the admission of that article from t all parts of the world. Now, if the duty be thus imme diately and totally repealed on wool, why not agree to the immediate and total repeal of the duty on corn? The prin ciple which justifies the reduction in the former case requires the reduction in the latter. In referring to this intended repeal of the duty on wool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer thus expre.sSed himself:—" I have thought it better to remit both the duty on export and import of wool, and to leave the trade open. That duty produced last year, altogether, about the sum of 100,000 L, and we must take that amount as the loss which will be sustained on that particular article by the arrangement which I shall recommend to the House. ' But I cannot but feel that, although we shall on the article ittself sustain a loss, yet we shall give an additional stimulus $o the industry of the community engaged in that branch of our manufactures likely to be benefited by this arrangement, which I believe will more than compensate for the loss we shall sustain.' " This is exactly the ground which the advo cates of free-trade have all along taken. The passage we have quoted seems more like an extract from a speech l of Mr. Cobden, in Covent-garden Theatre, than of a Tory Chancel lor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons. All that is wanted is, that the Right Hon. Gentleman should be con sistent. Let him but follow out his own principles, and the country asks no more. The Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot long stop where lie is ; he must continue in his on wards:ourse until he has fairly landed on the shores of Free trade. - • . • • -- - THE THRONE OF SWEDEN. The Hamburgh papers of the 26th instant, contain the following communication, dated Munich, April 20 : " Though it .might have been pretty confidently expected that the Prince of Wasa would take some steps, on occasion of the change in Sweden by the death of the late King, to assert his claims, yet the manner in which he has done this excited here, at least, no little surprise. The news of the declaration (which, though not in words, yet in spirit, is equivalent to a protest against the accession of King Oscar, which the Prince has addressed to the Courts of & London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and St.. Petersburilla), arrived here at the same time as Count Stedingk, who has brought to our Court the official notification of the accession of the reigning King and Queen of Sweden. Besides the unpleasant feel ings which are connected with any claim of a pretender to a throne, it may easily be conceived that considering the inti mate ties of relationship between our Court and that of Sweden, this affair is looked on in a more serious light than elsewhere, and perhaps than it really deserves, under the present state of the political world. ft is affirmed that this declaration of the Prince of Vasa is so drawn up that it requires no reply from the Courts to which it is addressed. This declaration of his Royal Highness, so far as it is tanta mount to a protest against the exclusion of the house of Wass from the succession to the Swedish throne, is one of the most interesting documents of the kind of our time, and therefore deserves a public examination." ATTORNEYS.—One hundred and thirty-six gentle men have given notice of their intention to apply, on the last day of the present term, to be admitted to practise as attor neys in her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench. There are also twenty-five notices of application for a renewal of certi ficates to practise, and five to be admitted by Judges' orders, making a total of 166. WINDSOR TROTTING MATCH.—On Saturday last Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, applied to R. Blunt, Esq., the Mayor of Windsor, for summonses against William Mosely and Henry Bond, for having wantonly and brutally ill treated their horses in the trotting-match, which took place on the 22d instant, when one of the horses died. DOVER AND BOULOGNE.—A deputation from the inhabitants of Dover, consisting of the Mayor of Dover, Mr. Latham, Mr. J. W. Ledger, and Mr. Birmingham, lately waited upon the General Steam Navigation Company, to request the Directors of that Company to run a steam-boat between Dover and Boulogne. The Directors have complied with the request, and have appointed to run the Magician, which is to be placed on the station on Saturday morning next. This decision on the part of the General Steam Navi gation Company has been received with delight by the in habitants of Dover, the Magician being admirably adapted for the service, and for beauty and speed perhaps unequalled by any steam-packet of her class. • TUE WATERMAN STEAM-BOAT (NO. 10.)—An un fortunate accident occurred to this gallant little craft when off Hastings on Saturday afternoon. It appears that she arrived at Dover from Ostend early in the morning of Satur day, and left that port about noon on a pleasure trip to Hastings, having on board a party of the Directors of the Company, Mr. Penn, the engineer, and several other gentle men. She arrived at Hastings about half-past two, and in passing the town unfortunately too near in shore struck on a dangerous reef off the Priory, known as the Castle Rocks, which she passed over, and injured her bottom. It being found that the water was flowing fast into her, she was put about and run on the sand off the Parade, where she filled as the tide flowed, and at high water the hull was covered. A quantity of empty casks were flung round her during the evening, by means of which she was got further/M . -and on Sunday she was pumped out and had her leaks stopped. She has since floated eiT, and been removed opposite the Priory stade for the purpose of undergoing repairs. The reef on which the vessel struck is stated to be extremely dangerous even to the most experienced pilots. Tim SHERIFFS' FUND.—Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the supporters of this fund was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate Mr. Sheriff Moon in the chair. Mr. John Cooper, secretary, read the report, which, after detailing the many schemes planned for ensnaring in vice youthful prisoners of both sexes discharged from gaol, stated that the receipts for the years 1842 and 1843, in cluding a balance from 1841, amounted to 661/. 1 Is. 10d. 1621. 19s. was subscribed by the present Sheriffs and their friends. Of this sum 190/. was distributed last year as fol lows :-541. amongst 181 prisoners discharged from Norgate ; 24/. 7s. 6d. amongst 69 discharged from Whitecross-street ; and 121.95. 6d. amongst those discharged from the Corapter. The sum of 500/. was funded. The report, in conclusion, stated that the grand object of the fund was the eatablishmentofan asylum for the reception of women discharged from prison, which would be ultimately erected. Upon the motion of. Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, seconded by Sir M. Montefiore, the report was adopted. After very strong appeals by Mr. Anderton, the Rev. Mr. Weeks, Alderman Johnson, and other members, on behalf of the charity; it was resolved to have a public dinner to defray the expenses of building an asylum. Thanks were then voted to Alderman Johnson, the treasurer, Mr. Cooper, the secretary, and the Chairman. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Last night an extremely lively piece, under the denomination of Polkamania, was pro duced at this theatre. Its chief humour consists in the plea sant satirical view taken of the prevailing fashions and follies of the day. A young fortune-hunter, Adolphus Merton (Mr. A. Wigan), pursues his inamorata, Laura Dorrington (Miss Woolgar), to a sequestered village, and introducing himself to her father, a matter-of-fact gentleman of the old school, as a medical practitioner, engages to cure her of low spirits by the application of a newly-discovered specific called the " Polka." The old gentleman, though at first a little startled at the slang phraseology of his visitor, at length can aents to entrust her to his treatment, and when the dance is begun its fascination is such that all the household, including the old-fashioned gentleman himself, are constrained to join in it. In this part of the piece much amusement was afforded by the comic actions of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, who performed the parts of a male and female domestic in their awkward at tempts to imitate the graceful movements of MissDorrington and her lover. The piece was highly successful. °dark SURREY THEATRE.- - A tragedy, called Bragaldi ; or, The Confession —new to the London boards — was produced here last night, in which the fair attthorets, Miss Charlotte Barnes, rom the New York pie othe r .s A rican theatres, made ' her debut in this meal:alliposasse:thei heroine. Such portion of the play powerful and exciting interest, which l , a the g w e e neral good act ing of the piece well sustained. The debutante, though ap parently young, is manifestly well accustomed to the higher erself most saisfactoril,: duties of the stage, and acquitte At the close of the tragedy, i n obedience to a t unanimou y s call, she was led before the curtain to receive the plaudits of the house, which was a tolerably crowded one. In the little one-act trifle of the Srapyrace of Paris, and the drama founded on the elder Dibchn s popular ballad of the Last Shil ling, Mrs. I. Houner evinced a more than ordinary share of talent. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT Or DRIVING WITH MR. BATTY'S STUD.—The Westminster-road,'in the neighbour hood of Astley's Amphitheatre, was crowded this morning by persons anxious to witness the extraordinary feat which Mr. Embury, a member of Mr. Batty's company, had under taken to perform, viz., to drive four-and-twenty in hand through the crowded streets of the metropo lis. At one o'clock Mr. Embury le ft Mr.Batty's stabl es i n a our-wheeled vehicle, drawn by twelve pair of horses, the whole of which he had in hand, and apparaly completely under command. Mr. Batty was on the box with him, and in the vehicle were the mem bers of the orchestra of the establishment. likr.'Embury drove down the York-road in gallant style, at the rate of about six miles an hour, and proceeded on his journey amidst the cheers of the multitude. He exhibited great cleverness in turning the corners, and in the general management of his team, and altogether, this may be considered the most extra ordinary feat in driving ever recorded. THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Mr. Justice Coltman and Mr. Baron Rolfe, on their return from the Northern Circuit, which commenced on the rth of February, and did not terminate until the 13th of April, immediately informed the Secretary for the Home Department that itwas impossible for any human exertions to do justice to her Majesty:a s_ub jects on such an extensive circuit; and that, olthoPgh they had sat early and rose up late, they had bean obliged l eavetoo L causes untried at Durham, at York, and at I...iv,,erf v )oo ernme T n o t remedy this great evil, we understand thethat.x Government propose of add propose to have recourw to the injudicio us_r mg the county of York to the Midlan d u . ircflit—a measure More manifestly unjust 'it is impossible to imagine. The bar of the Northern Circuit have a claim in the nature of a vested interest in the district through which their labours have extended; and the fairest way to them, and the most satisfactory to the public, :would be (as the barristers, silk and stuff, are sufficiently numerous) to make a division of the present circuit between them into two circuits. There would then be an average of 150 causes on each circuit, which to the bars thus formed on the new circuits, would bring a profit nearly equal in amount to that which each barrister in business now receives; and ingeneral, each et' the circuits would have a greater number of causes than falls to the lot of any other circuit.—Times.

TIMES.—Dr. Johnson says that the more human misery is inquired into, the more may it be traced to petty dis comforts. Last night's Budget proceeds on this principle. As far as it goes it is a clearance of small but vexatious items—the weeds of taxation. We don't begin very grand. Like the charity children in the front of a procession, the least come first. The nation is to sacrifice 45,000/. to equalize the duties on tint and bottle-glass. The insignificant sum of 25,0001. releases vinegar from taxation, and is a great relief to many branches of manufacture. At the expense of 100,000/. a great reduction is to be effected in the duty on marine insurances—a good beginning,_ which a prudent Go __ vernment will be sure to follo - w up, - for what can be worse than a tax on prudence—a penalty on virtue ? Then came good news for little boys and girls, who have a right to come in for a bit of this wonderful surplus. With 900,000/. the tax on currants is to be reduced from 225. to 15s. per cwt. The great falling off in the importation of currants was really one of the most pathetic symptoms of the recent dis tress. As far as the poor are concerned, the golden apples of the Hesperides are not a greater fiction than the roast-beef and plum-pudding of England. The duty on foreign coffee is to be reduced from Bd. to 6d. a-pound. This great boon to the poor will cost only 50,0001. Then follows a significant hint at the consequences of taxation. The duty on the spurious substitute, chicory, is to be raised. The next item is important, and will raise a qualm or two, unnecessarily we think, in the hearts of our agricultu ral friends. The duty on raw wool, producing 100,0001., is to be abolished. This puts the finishing stroke to a long burden on British manufactures, and adds fresh obsoleteness to such historical curiosities as the act compelling burial in woollen. The whole of these reductions amount to about 387,0001. Considering that the Minister was much in the situation of a woman with a large, hungry, and ill-clad family, going to market with ten shillings in her pocket, he has not done amiss. We now see the instructive force of the promised issue of half-farthings by our thrifty Premier. To these changes must be added a reduction of the differential duty on foreign sugar, in favour of States not tainted with slavery. The additional duty in their case is to be only 10s. The effect on the revenue, we suppose, cannot be easily calculated, as it is not stated. And now for the income-tax. It is to be considered next year. Perhaps the increasing surplus, and perhaps the general improvement in trade, may then allow us to define its somewhat indefinable duration. But to hope for its early removal, we must have the faith of the sports man, who always went out as soon as he saw a patch of blue sky large enough to make a pair of—what shall we say ? gaiters, we suppose it was. POST.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer laid before the House of Commons, last evening, his annual statement of the actual receipts and disbursements of the past. and the anticipated revenue and expenditure of the current years. He commenced his financial exposition by avowing that his estimated income of the year just ended had been greatly exceeded by the actual income. Mr Goulburn next made the avowal that his calculations of the expenditure of the last year had far exceeded the actual disbursements. The charge for the debt on the consolidated fund had fallen short of his estimate by 50,0001. The expense for the anny had not been so great by 500,000/. as he had anticipated ; and the navy had required less by 650,0001. than he had calcu lated. Taking together the increase of revenue received over his last year's estimate, and the decrease of expenditure below his last year's computation, the Charicellor of the Exchequer announced that, instead of 700,000/. sur plus which he predicted twelve months ago, the actual surplus of receipts over disbursements, for the year ending the sth of April, was 4,160,0001. From this gross surplus on the past year, 2,749,000/., the de ficiency of last. year, being deducted, the net surplus available was 1,400,000/. So far for the year just ended. Having stated the results of the last, and his anticipations of the present year, Mr. Goulburn considered the reductions of duties which he would recommend. As the experiment of the Tariff had not been fairly tried, and as the surplus could not be regarded as a permanent one, he left the question of the property-tax for deliberation next year, when it must come under the deliberation of Parliament. The present surplus in hand he proposed to apply to the augmentation of the balances of the Exchequer, so as to render the Govern ment more independent of the Bank, and to conduct their business on a surer basis. This he thought better than a present remission of taxation. At the conclusion of his statement, Mr. Goulburn announced that it was his intention, when moving the sugar duties, to propose, that from and after November next the sugar produced in foreign countries, which did not raise the produce by means of slave labour, should be admitted into this country at a differential duty of 10s.; that is, at a duty of 345. per cent., our colonial sugar paying a duty of 245. Our treaty with the Brazils, by which they were placed on the same footing as the most favoured nations, expiring in November, is the reason why November was fixed on by Mr. Goulburn for this change. The Chancellor of the Exchequer concluded his statement by congratulating himself and the count aspect which our finances presented this year o f h: v t m h e th a le pre aspect ones. Exchequer made last HERALD.—The Chancellor of the f to the night his financial statement, and l a iig ho j u - gr gh, a n i o 3 d m ou g bt, the country that statement must be; agreeable commun ication is not enhanced by: the pleasure of surprise. The losse s slid difficulties t o which the country was exposed during the later years of the Whig Administra tion, made us all jealous observers of ourfinancial condition, and most are, in consequence, as well apprised of the actual state of the revenue as the Chancellor of the Exchequer him self. As far, therefore, as the financial and commercial pros perity of the country is concerned, Mr. Goulburncould tell little last night w hich claimed attention by its novelty. The net revenue (olfvelasomtitytehaer l a e l s n s o er un fi t g ed lyrane h s)d, he said, to upwards of 52 exceeding htihseesti mate of 50,100,000/. by 2,700,000/. ex penditure of the country by, as we understood the report reportof the Right lion. Gentleman's speech, 4,100,0001., and thus enabling him to make good at once the whole deficiency of the preceding year, 2,700,0001., with a handsome surplus of 1,400,0001. still remaining. The great excess of the revenue be yond his estimate the Right Hon. Gentleman accounted for by the unexpected productiveness of many taxes—corn, 800,000/. ; wine, 350,0001. ; foreign wool, 200,000/. ; tea, 300,000/. ; sugar, 200,000/., &c. The Chancellor of the Exchequer next explained his purpose and his expectations for the present year—rating the public ex penditure of the country at 48,606,000/., the probable income at about 51,800,000/., which leaves a balance of more than three millions sterling in appearance, 2,400,000/. in fact. This is, we believe, a pretty fair outline of Mr. Goulburn's financial statement, and it is gratifying on both sides; gra tifying, first, in the proof it affords that the Government is happily in a condition to exercise a choice in dealing with the finances of the country--gratifying next, in the assurance that we have escaped from that most ruinous of all systems, whether to an individual or to nations, the " hand to mouth" system ; and that her Majesty's Ministers have fairly resolved to think a little of the future—a degree of providence of which their predecessors for many years have certainly set them no example. From the slight sketch that we have offered, it will be seen that the present prosperity is made the means of future saving, not by dismissing gallant soldiers -~..u--; EXAMPLES. ,retry. Policy. Age.

Those on whom the blight of consumption has fallen, frequently sink under it about this period, though the disease had commenced its ravag.s many weeks or months anterior to its fatal close. All unnecessary exposure on the/part of such delicate persons to the morning and evening chills, should be carefully avoided. Also the full and plethoric will be he nefitted by the use of cooling medicines, as PA RR'S LIFE PILLS, and very temperate diet; as a tendency of blood to the head is not uncommon among such, giving rise to apoplexy and other fatal dis eases of the brain. Young and stout persons even require some cooling purgative, as PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which wilt lessen the heat of the skin, and perfectly cleanse the system.

LAW AND POLICE. A woman named Elizabeth Cole, who has long• been known at thejustice-room as a woman of most idle, drunken, and disorderly habits, was charged at the Mansion• house with having smashed a pane of glass. She said she did it to procure three months lodging in Bridewell, as she had more than once done before. The Lord Mayor committed her for fourteen days. A gentleman came to the - justice-room to make a com laint against a publisher of an illustrated, journal in t he French, language, containing _woodcut representations cal- culated to excite ridicule against the Christian religion. He considered it necessary, he said, 'to keep the name of the publisher private, lest the offensive work might gain a large circulation amongst those who derived amusement from such exhibitions, but did not think himself justified, having seen it publicly exhibited for sale, in not informing the highest authority in the. City of so serious an offence against morality and against the law. He had entered the shop for the purpose of expostulating with the publisher, who, the moment the matter was complained of, offered one of the numbers for sale. The Lord Mayor advised him to give information to the society established for the purpose of putting a stop to such publications. John White was charged with stealing a chest of tea, the property of Mr. Williams, of Beer-lane, Thames-street. The prisoner, who was stated to be an old offender, was com mitted to Bridewell as a thief and a vagabond for three months. Elizabeth Monck, a woman about 35 years of age, attired in mourning, and who has frequently been convicted of rob beries perpetrated by her in a most adroit and ingenious manner, was charged at Marylebone with having stolen articles of jewellery, the property of P. S. Coxe, Esq., solicitor, 12, Park-road, Regent's Park, to whose house she went under pretence of hiring as a servant. The prisoner was remanded. Henry Johnson, a young man of Jewish appearance, was charged at Marlborough-street with stealing seventeen hair brushes from the shop of Mr. Grafftey, brushmaker, No. 20, Warwick-street. He was fully committed. John Shields, a wire -worker, in the Westminster road, was brought up for final examination at Union-hall, charged with forging and uttering several bills of exchange, with intent to defraud Aaron Smith, of N 0.3, Clayland-road, Clapham. He was fully committed. Francesco Lanchar, a Spanish youth, 18 years of age, dressed in the uniform of a serjeant in the Spanish army, was charged, at Lambeth-street, with stabbing and seriously wounding a young man named Benjamin Rogers, who no w lies in the London Hospital It a dangerous state. Prisoner was remanded. In the Court of Common Pleas cause was shown on the part of Mr. Valiance, the solicitor of the Duke of Brunswick, in the prosecution of Barnard Gregory, against a rule that had been obtained by the Duke to set aside the taxation of 80/.- 10s. in Mr. Vallance's bill of costs ; the Duke swears that he never authorised the payment for which this item is the charge. This Mr. Valiance on affidavit denies. The matter was finally referred to the decision of the Master. COURT—PAS'SIONABLE. The Countess of Jersey intends to give a grand ball on Monday . next.

The songs of " Mary Morison," " Poortith Cauld," and " Wilt thou be m y Dearie " all charming strains, wedded to exquisi te old airs, were delight fully given; while the humorous ditties of " Sherramuir" and "My spouse Nancy" produced mirth unbounded. Mr. Wilson announced that next Monday he would give a new entertainment, entitled "Jacobite Relics," and sing a number of the most popular songs of 'l5 and '45. This is a fine field for Wilson, and he will doubtless add another wreath to his brow by his resuscitation of some of those delightful and in teresting songs which worked so powerfully on the feelings of the people during the times alluded to. We hope he will give us " Lewie Gordon," "The Blackbird," and some of the plaintive ones, as well as those rousing ones he knows so w ell how to give. He him self is a good judge, however, of what will please the public, and the selection will no doubt be an excellent one. We see that Mr. Wilson. resumes his morning entertainments in the Dwyer-square Rooms to morrow,: when of course he will be greeted . by a brilliant assemblage of fashionables.
