GLADSTONE, on Monday last, made his financial statement for the expenses of the war, in an elaborate speech, which occupied thirteen columns of the morning papers. 'ln analysing this exposition of Ministerial views, it will not be necessary to comment on the causes of this addi tional burden on the resources of the country, because, although it is beyond a doubt that the necessity for war is mainly, ig not solely, attri butable to the insincerity of the PREMIER, and the want of union in the Cabinet, the mischief has been done, the step has been taken, and the only course is to unite our energies to bring it to a successful conclusion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER commenced his speech by entering into a defence of his financial operations of last year with reference to his attempt to reduce the National Debt, and his reduction and subsequent increase of the interest on Exchequer Bills. In this he was simply plausible, for, without endea vouring to justify the course pursued, indeed ad mitting its utter failure, he called upon the house to recollect the state of public feeling which pre vailed at the time the measure was proposed, and the fact that the only opposition he encountered was from those who considered the terms too favourable to the fundholder. Such a justification would be ample, if we could consider that the Minister knew as little of diplomatic negotiations as the rest of the public ; but since then we have become acquainted with the private and confi dential correspondence, and, unless the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER can plead that he was not in the secrets of the Cabinet, the value of his defence is altogether destroyed. The most interesting point of h is statement is that, however, by whi ch he p ro p oses to raise the t en millions which he computes to be the addi tional expenditure of the first year. He argues , and perhaps very justly , that such an ex p ense should, as far as possible , be paid out o f taxation, without entailing it on posterity through raising it by way of loan. In some respec ts, this p osition is a sound one ; but as the benefits of the war, should any arise, will be largely shared by poste rity, the injustice of imposing pArt of the burden in the same direction would not' be so unjust or impolitic as might at first sight. appear. The last war was the most enormously expensive that this or any country ever endured, but we have had the advantage in `a forty years' peace, during which Great Britain has reached the pinnacle of national and commercial greatness. Nor has the legacy of debt proved a very serious burden, when we take into account the large sums which have since been invested in foreign loans, mining, and, above all, railway construction to the extent of three hun- , dred millions, in addition to which there has been an immense increase in floating capital and that devoted to commercial purposes. Still it is im possible to predict with safety the probable dura- , tion of the war, or what pecuniary sacrifices may still be requisite, and, therefore, it is prudent at the best to defer a resort to a loan until the means of raising the cost of taxation are exhausted. , With this view of the case, we can, therefore, con scientiously give credit to Mr. GLADSTONE for his attempt to avoid any increase for the present of the National Debt. With reference to the class of taxation by which he proposes to raise the sum required, the question is open to more serious objection. Whatever may be the opinions advanced for selfish purposes by the advocates of the Manchester school, any system of direct taxation is fraught with inequality and consequently with injustice, because the burden is thrown upon one class ; and another, which may be equally well able to bear it, is left totally exempt. In proposing, therefore, to raise two thirds of his demand upon the national resources by doubling the Income-tax, Mr. GLADSTONE makes a concession bo democracy which is un worthy of the high position which he assumes. He takes great credit to himself for abstaining to consult his own convenience by resorting to a loan. Yet it is but the next step to depend upon an ad ditional Income-tax, the sole advantage of which is the ease with which it is collected, and the almost certainty of its y ieldin g the estimated a mount, an advantage which might not apply to indirect taxation, which is influenced by the extent of consumption. It has already been shown that it is impossible to levy direct taxation under any system without inflicting injustice ; and even Mr. GLADSTONE acknowledges that both Mr. PITT and Sir ROBERT PEEL found, it utterly impracticable even to make any distinction between incomes derived from realised property amt those earned by labour and intelligence. 1n numerous instances men are earning weekly wages far beyond the limit of taxation, and yet there are few means of bringing them within its reach ; while others, with annual salaries which render them liable, are struggling to maintain a position which is indis pensable to their obtaining a subsistence. By any form of income-tax, the labouring class, whose neces sary expenditure is far less than that of the class above them, is altogether exempt; and yet the latter, with impoverished means, are called upon to bear two-thirds of the cost of the war, in addition to their share of the enhanced value of other commodities. It is a tax which should only be resorted to in cases of extreme necessity ; and, though the present may be considered an occasion to justify its imposition, it is to be hoped that no further augmentation will take place until all other means have been ex hausted. We may remark that the Income -tax would press far more equally, and, onsequently, with less of injustice, if-the example of iv Jr. PITT were followed, and the scale were made to com mence on incomes of £430 a year ; and the burc!!tn ,^ would be still less felt if the tax were charged on all the income above that amount, or, in other words, to allow every man to deduct £6O from his annual income, and pay the tax on the remainder.

Irish spirits, a retention of the present amount or sugar duties, or nearly so, instead of reducing them as fixed by the act of Parliament, on the sth of July next, and an augmentation of the excise duty on malt from 2s. 9d. to 4s. a bushel. In this selection, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has shown much judgment and prudence, though, as a matter of course, in every scheme to increase taxation there are always many to be found who will argue that revenue ought to be derived through some other channel than that which im mediately affects themselves. This is particularly the case with regard to the proposed addition to the Malt-duty, some of the representatives of the agricultural interest contending that the farmers have been too little considered in modern legisla tion, and ought not to be called upon to bear any fresh burdens. It is an egregious error to suppose that the farmers, as a class, pay the duty on malt, which is borne by those who drink beer, and as this is a custom of very general observance, it is anticipated that this item in the War Budget will realise the amount expected from it, particularly as the proposed increase of ls. 3d. per bushel will hardly make an appreciable difference in the retail price of the manufactured article. Such will also be the case with spirits ; and, besides this, there are very many who, upon moral grounds, will cor dially agree with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER in his attempt to pay for the war out of the anti-temperance habits of those who share none of its dangers. It may be that the yield of these several addi tions to the revenue will not fully realise the estimates of their productiveness, but, on the whole, the majority of our readers will agree with us that Mr. GLADSTONE has adopted a course to which, perhaps, the least exception can be taken ; and we the more readily make this admission, be cause there is so little in the' policy of the present Cabinet with which we can coincide. MERCHANT SHIPPING LEGISLATION. The Bill is divided into eleven parts, of which the ninth relates to the responsibility of shipowners In this there is no material alteration from the law; as it at present stands, but what is required is a definitive settlement of the doubts which exist as to the liability of shipowners under the act, known as Lord Campbell's Act, for affording compensation to the relative's of persons killed by wrongful act, neglect or defraud. It is well known that this act was intended to apply especially, if not exclusively, to railway accidents ; but by slovenly language, common to all hasty legislation, it may be made to apply to any description of accident, and the glo rious uncertainty of the law has left it doubtful whether a shipowner, who can have no possible control over the management of his vessel—other than that afforded by the certificates of the master's capability required by the law—is not pecuniarily liable to the full extent of all his means for any loss of life which may occur, through wrongful act, neglect, or default. Such a regulation is mani festly unjust when applied to railways, because the innocent suffer for the guilty, and every passenger may insure his life for a trifling outlay, as shown in an able pamphlet by Mr. BOOTH, of the London and North-western railway; but its application to shipowners would be still greater injustice, because the control is infinitely less ; and therefore a Bill, which professes to comprehend all the law relating to merchant shipping, should distinctly declare the exemption of shipowners from such an uncertain and loosely-defined liability. . . ANY attempt which is made to render the law more intelligible and comprehensive, by consoli dating the various acts of Parliament relating to , any particular subject, is in many respects praise worthy, and should entitle those who undertake the laborious duty to very great credit. It may be doubted, however, whether the vast interests of commerce have, in reality, been benefited by the various enactments which, from time to time, have been brought to bear upon its operations. The mighty shipping and commercial interests of Great Britain have, it must be remembered, at tained their gigantic elevation irrespective of other aid from legislation than the restrictive pro tection of the Navigation-laws, and, therefore, every attempt to fetter future operations by act of Parliament is naturally viewed with some degree of suspicion, and should receive the most careful consideration in its details by those most com petent to judge, and most interested in its results, before receiving the sanction of the Legislature. A bill is now before Parliament entitled " a bill to amend and consolidate the acts relating to iner chant shipping," and, as the names of Mr. CARD WELL, the President of the Board of Trade, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the First Lord of the Admi ralty, are on ths back of it, it may be considered a Ministerial measure. It is a very voluminous containing no fewer than 460 sections or clauses, and is said to be the most bulky document ever submitted to Parliament as a single measure. Many of its provisions are simply the re-enactment of laws already in operation, but there are some portions which will militate very severely against the shipping interest, and particularly against the im mense amount of property invested in steam naviga tion; these points deserve the especial attention, not only of our own representatives, but all those who consider rapid communication with foreign ports to be of essential advantage to the trade of the kingdom. The objections to them have been strongly urged by the Steam-ship Association of this port, in an able document explanatory of the bill ; and we call particular attention to it, in order to give the most objectionable provisions more ex tended publicity. BY , far the most important alteration proposed is in section 23 of the bill, by which it is proposed to be enacted that in all steam-vessels in which the propelling power is to the gross tonnage one-horse power for every seven tons, the amount allowed to be deducted in the registered tonnage for the space occupied by the propelling power shall for paddle wheel steamers be three-tenths, and for screw steamers two-tenths, of the gross tonnage. The effect of this alteration as concerns steam-vessels belonging to this port will be very serious. For instance, in the Alps and Andes the increase will be not less than 50 per cent., and in most of the steamers, both screw and paddle-wheel, the increased per centage will be very great. The consequence of such an alteration will be to augment materially all dues charged upon regis tered tonnage, such as light, dock, and other dues. Such a provision must tend materially to discourage, if it do not altogether put a stop to improvement in steam navigation ; for the owners of those vessels possessing the most ample means for speed and efficiency will be the greatest sufferers, as they will have to pay charges for space which cannot in any way be made available for freight, instead of, as at present, paying only for that portion of the vessel which can carry passengers or cargo. It will, therefore, unless modified or repealed, be an effectual bar to the construction of powerful and fast steamers, which in all cases are the safest, but operate seriously, if not fatally, to the extension of steam communication with many distant ports, to which the enterprise of Liverpool shipowners in particular is opening up new markets for British commerce: At a time like the pre sent, when every exertion is being made to secure to Great Britain the maintenance of her commercial superiority, such a regulation would prove a heavy blow and great discouragement, which ought to be firmly resisted. It is well known that many lines of steam-ships depend more upon hopes for the future than existing profits ; even the great New York lines are supported by subsidies from Government; while to those which have recently commenced, such as to Canada, Bra zil, Africa, and the projected line to Australia, it would prove a death-blow, a suicidal act on the part of a Government which we may believe to bee animated by a desire to promote our commerce to the fullest extent. It has been estimated that in one coasting steamer, making three voyages a week, the difference in dues, from an increase not amounting to 100 tons, would not be less than £4OO a year--a ruinous addition to the amount of charges now paid, and which must directly militate against steatn-navigation under any circumstances, and particularly against companies competing with railways. The question is of too great importance to be passed over ; and unless the Ministry consent to an alteration of the objectionable clause, it must be resisted by every means allowed by the forms of Parliament. It is preposterous to argue that any advantage to commerce can be gained by lay ing a restriction, or impost, on one class of con veyance to benefit another. Even supposing that, from steamers being forced (the natural result, if n ot the design, of what is urged by the sailing shipowners upon Mr. CARDWELL) to raise their rates of freight, the sailing ships are enabled, to some extent, to raige theirs also, what will be the con sequence p wh y ; plainly, that the public will suffer, and that a premium will be Afforded to We have gone into the question at some length, from the importance of the subject,bnt have referred only to those points of the measure which especially demand alteration or modification.

BIRKENHEAD 4- "THE LIV_ERPOOL "Homunculi quanti sunt, cum recogito." '-PLAVTUS. IN a leading article of the Lireepool hail of Saturday last, the editor has done me the honour to remark on a letter,with the signature of "Tabakraucher," that appeared in that paper on the 6th inst., the subject being Birken head. He sets out with a compliment, and winds up with a growl. A compliment, because some of my observations have been co-incident with his own —a growl, because some of his friends are rather thin-skinned, and mightily afraid of a certain well-known " 3lrs. Grundy." He accuses me of throwing out indiscriminate censure on the Commissioners of Birkenhead as a body, and on Mr. Curry individually: I frankly meet those charges with a peremptory denial, and refer him to his own columns for the proof of my assertions. That men holding the office of a commissioner are open to remark, is a truism that even he will not be so daring as to deny. What ! A man, who, when remarking on any one dissent ing from his own opinion, cannot dip his pen into the ink bottle without loading it with terms of the most vulgar vituperation, to cry out halt, when in the fair field of cri ticism a touch of the whipcord is applied; this is, to say the least of it, passing strange. I found fault with Mr. Curry, because he introduced a • paltry squabble about a disputed 44. with a car-driver, at a meeting of the commissioners. I do not retract one word of this. I say that it was beneath the dignity of a commissioner of Birkenhead to occupy the time of a meeting of their body with such twaddle. Having, how ever, done so, and a committee having taken the case into their consideration, it was the duty of Mr. Curry to have attended that committee at their invitation. Mr. Curry. forgetting that there is such a thing as "courtesy," did not attend the committee. The Chairman, Mr. Wil loughby, was perfectly satisfied at the explanations given by Mr. Evans, the owner of the car. As a commissioner, Mr. Curry ought to have made himself acquainted with the cost of the hire of a car to his own door. If he then had an idea that the car-driver had imposed on him, it was his bounden duty as a commissioner to have made an example of the man for the benefit of the public at large, by taking out a summons and bringing the matter before the magistrates. All this was open to him—but no ! like a petted child, he has recourse to his "debating club," and tells the chairman of the commissioners that "it was net the 4d. he cared about, but the manner in which he had been asked for it." Mr. Curry being proved to be wrong, and the car-driver to be right, the writer in the Mail adopts the well-known adage of certain lawyers,—" No case ; abuse the plaintiff's attorney !" Mr. Curry is perfectly welcome to the wholesale adula tion of the writer in the Mail,—it certainly will require a huge appetite to digest it. It is, however, open to me, or to any other ratepayer, to inquire what has Mr. Curry done during the twelve months he has held the office of a commissioner? Will the Mail favour the public with a summary of these wonderful doings ? As to the writer of these lines, although suffering from severe indisposition, wonderful to relate, the article in the Mail has not quite put an end to his days ! And he begs to assure Mr. Curry, or any other commissioner, that, when he may feel disposed to comment on the proceedings of their body, he does hope that such comments will be couched in the language of gentlemanly society. Most willingly does be eave the writer of the Mail to indulge in the rare classic terms of Wapping and St. Giles'.. The Mail evidently writes with a relish; it is some thing, on occasion, to give way to the tone of a man's mind; some men have a natural wish for improvement; others prefer the beaten track ; but the writer in the Mail is disposed to march backward. To what else can be attributed, as applied to respectable tradesmen, such terms as "decent sort of men who can knead dough, or paint a cart, or draw a pot of beer, or survey a gin-hsop." " Men who, in the art of municipal government, exhibit . their asinine propensities of braying, kicking, Asc." Surely Mr. Curry ought to feel ashamed of a defence, is which, with the same breath, his colleagues are thus stk.- matised ! Are we living in busy England, and in that corner of England more especially devoted to commerce and trade of all kinds, and that in the 19th century, to be ridden rough-shod over by any man, writer of leaders or not, who shall attempt to thrust such trash on the pub lie? It was a true remark of Napoleon, that England, was a nation of shopkeepers. Wait on the Exchange of London, Liverpool, Glasgow, pick out the busy bees, the enterprising minds, and then let the writer in the Mail ask himself the question, how many of the most leading men, who have made their way by dint of industry, in tegrity, and perseverance, can boast of the familiar qtuo terings of a German baron, whose rent-roll is oft inferior to his title ? Away with such contemptible rubbish. The Mail attributes the heavy taxation and house rent to the want of wiser heads. If this writer does not know facts, he ought to have made himself acquainted with them. This taxation lays at the door of commissioners of Birkenhead, when the place was one scene of land spna lations, of land gambling—when land put up for public sale (Winstanley auctioneer) by the commissioners, was bought in, by their order, at a fabulous price. I leave the writer in the 3fail to explain this. Birkenhead has barely yet recovered the blow dealt out to her by her then so called friends. The management of the funds of the township was not then properly attended to, else the Woodside and the Monks' ferries would long ago have been the property of the township. Since the Mail is so =descending as to say that " the shopoericy dynasty of Birkenhead arc indebted to our forbearance, not to ow ignorance," I would, with all proper humility, ask the writer to proceed, and perhaps he will further solicit his friends (Greene —Rae—Curry —Furniss), whose names he introduces prominently, to support Mr. Willoughby the next time he brings forward a motion for a searching in vestigation as to the how large sums of borrowed money have been disposed of—whether the said sums have been appropriated to the purposes for which they were in tended. If memory serves me rightly, these friends of the Mail repudiated such inquiry not very long since. Touching the one shilling additional rate, which Mr. Greene and his friends were so anxious to saddle the town ship with, the forbearance and ignorance of the Mail are' characteristically displayA. The Mail says the rate was to be laid upon land. Of course the Mail should be cor rect. It does so happen that the t.tx was to fall upon houses, not on land. So much for the forbearance of the Mail. The present taxation of Birkenhead is 3s. in the pound, Commissioners' rates, and ls. in the pound poor rates—a total of twenty per cent. for local rates only. Little wonder that families avail themselves of the good roads, the lamps of Birkenhead, and live just outside the boundary, - to escape so heavy taxation. The " asses yoked in the team," is rather an unfortunate allusion of the writer in the Mail—the term "asses" being a usual compliment from that quarter to any person hold- lug. an opp >site opinion. As —asinine—flows so glibly from his pen, that he must be acquainted with the proverb, " Plus negabit unus'atinus in and Fiord, quam centuns philosophi probarerint in centum annie." I had the temerity to suggest as men well adapted for the office of Commissioners at the ensuing election, the names of Laird, Stewart Ker, Lamont, Carmichael, Derby shire, Clayton. The writer in the Mail does not agree with me. He has had the kindness—the very gentlemanly feeling—to offer as candidates at the next election a par ticular friend of his, viz., his sweep, with a clean shirt, as chairman, and half-a-dozen scavengers to fill up vacancies in the bo4 of Commissioners. Whether the gentlemen whose names I have suggested are to be considered proper associates for "our own sweep and scavengers," I leave to the decision of the erudite writer in the Mail. TABAKRAUCHER.

WARRINOTON.--Trac Mthirra.—The period for which the men fortning the 4th Royal Lancashire Militia were assembled for training has drawn to a close, and they were disbanded on Saturday. On Thursday last, they were in spected on the training grou i nd, near Arpley station, by Colonel Derinry, of Liverpoo , when the usual evolutions were preformed by the men. At the close Colonel De rimy addressed them, and expressed his astonishment and satisfaction at the progress they had made, and w arm l y congratulated the officers on the success of their exertions. In the afternoon games, foot races, &c. were entered into by the men, and a steeple-chase was run by several of the officers, the course being three times round several of the fields in Arpley. THE BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. TILE official despatches, describing the bombard ment of the Russian port of Odessa, which were received by the Ministry only on Thursday last, and published in the London Gazette of Friday, are of little more value than to confirm the correct ness of the reports previously received, which we published last week. During the last war, great interest was excited by the various bulletins de scriptive of our victories by sea and land ; but the press has now outstripped the State in the race for bringing the earliest and most authentic intelli gence —notwithstanding the sneers of certain titled legislators--aud official despatches have lost all interest--except the novelty of their appearance at all—through being so long anticipated. There is, however, one prominent point in the late affair which demands an intelligible explanation in order that the public may understand whether, after all these mighty preparations, we are really at war with Russia. It appears from the statements of Admiral DUNE/kg, that the ostensible motive for the attack on Odessa was the firing by the Russians on a flag of truce, contrary to all the usages of civilised warfare. For this outrage he demanded, as a reparation, that all the English, French, and Russian vessels anchored near the fortress or the batteries of Odessa should be delivered to the combined squadron; and, upon a refizsal to comply with this demand, the bombardment took p/ace, and the fortifications were destroyed. This is so far intelligible; but the natural inference to be drawn is, that had the Russians not fired upon the flag of truce, or had they made the reparation demanded, the bombardment would not have taken place. Plain people will, therefore, ask themselves the question, for what purpose has the declaration of war been made, if our fleet in the Black Sea is to wait for a breach of warlike usages on the part of the Russians, in order to justify an attack on a Russian fortress ? There appears to have been a • • punctilio of national politeness, the reason of which is not very clear, unless Admiral DUNDAS has secret instructions to spare the enemy, instead of bringing him to reason by reducing all the strong holds in which he puts his trust. It is declared in the despatch, which we have given in another column, that in addition to the fortress of Odessa, the Russians were labouring day and night in strengthening the moles and erecting formidable sea-defences, and had also collected between 20,000 and 30,000 men for the protection of this military depot, as well as for the security of vessels seek ing shelter under the guns of the place. These it would be thought would furnish abundant reasons for attacking the fort and destroying the works ; and yet, we are told, that the ostensible, if not the sole motive for the bombardment, was the outrage on the flag of truce, and the refusal to make reparation. The Ministers should be called upon for a distinct explanation, or we may be doubtful whether we are really at war, and whether the preparations are not, after all, only a show. But, perhaps, Sir CHARLES NAPIER Will soon tell a different story in the Baltic, as he is only waiting for the ice to break up from the northern ports to commence operations. PROGRESS OF BIRKENHEAD. /Upson. twelve months having expired since the last election of Commissioners, the approach of another election has created some interest towards the proceedings of the past twelve months. We do not, however, perceive that progress which we were led to anticipate. As far as regards the long talked of shipbuilding yards, it must be admitted that some unforeseen obstacles had arisen in the completion of the arrangements entered into with Messrs. WitsoN and others, which rendered it necessary to release Mr. WILsoN altogether from the engagement; hut all matters having been satisfactorily arranged, the under taking has passed into other hands, and we may venture to hope that, although the delay had created some degree of anxiety and disappointment, Birkenhead will not ulti mately be prejudiced by the change. The works have now been fairly commenced by Mr. Joint LAIRD, who has engaged first-rate engineering talent in the person of Mr. ABERNETHY, under whose designs and superintendence the whole of the works will be completed with that dispatch and efficiency worthy the undertaking, and which, when completed, will be equal, if not superior, to any shipbuild ing establishment in the kingdom. We cannot offer to our Birkenhead friends similar congratulations with respect to the progress of the dock works. We were led to believe that, as the consequence of the last election, the whole of the works would be prosecuted with vigour, and be com pleted within two years or two years and a half at the most; but one year having already elapsed, we cannot conceal our fears that, judging by the past, considerable latitude must be given to the proposed period, before anything approaching to completion will be visible. We are at a loss to understand why there is so little appear ance of progress upon the margin of the great float, as it was generally believed that several shipbuilding establish ments were about to be formed, and quit leases had been made out and contracts entered into with several parties, and wanted merely the signatures of the trustees to com plete the contracts. But we suppose that several parties, tired out by delays, have relinquished their engagements , as we find that Messrs. RENNIE and JOHNSON have established themselves in Liverpool, and Messrs. GETTY in Carsten. We cannot account for these results, but
