that the extension sought by the Bridport Railway Com-

of much beneath.° the town and neighbeurboood, we,
therefore, humbly pray your Honourable House that run-

thereby wit may obtain greater facilities of utmmundation

Imperial farliantent.

In the House of Commons on Monday, the adjourned
debate on Mr. Rylands' motion relating to the national
expenditure was subsequestly resumed by Mr. Gosehen,
who described the Budget as unsound, as calculated to
mislead public opinion, and an wanting in courses. He
contended that Parliament had been deprived of the power
of judging of the normal expenditure by the distinction
which the Government had drawn between ordinary and
extraordinary expenditure. At a time when a display of
reel strength was so important the Government had
shown financial weakness. Sound finance was one
of the greatest safeguard. of a country, and loose
finance one of its greatest dangers. Sir If. Selwin
Iblietaon quoted flzures to show that the increased
taxation during the last five years, aa compared
with the five years of Liberal rule, showed an average
Increase of Z 1341,000 for ordinary expenditure and of
£1.850,0L10 for extraordinary expenditure, which, he con-
tended, was not a very large increase considering th.
growth of the nation. He argued that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer was Justified in not increasing taxation
this year, and that there were precedents for postponing
the payment of Exchequer bonds.
MIL GLADSTONE ON THE BUDGET.
Amid prolonged cheering, Mr. Gladstone commenced
with the remark that he had not for many years troubled
the House at any length with criticism on financial
policy, but a period had now been reached at which it
was of vital importance that the financial policv of the
Government should be brought under close review. He
denied that the charge under which the Government
rested was one of not itepoeing taxes. The charge was
written in the resolution before the Hoene, and was that
the Ministry had indulged in exceasive expenditure.
What proportions that expenditure assumed he indicated
in • couple of sentences. When the Liberal Government
came into office at the end of 1868 they received from
their predecessors the beneficent bequest of a debt of
£14,300,000. The heritage into which the Conservatives
entered when they took office in Dril was an
unencumbered

70-TRAR.OLD RACING.

One of the leading journals devoted to 'port and
pastime has in two able articles pointed out the lessons
war turf authorities should take to heart from the per-
formances of Parole. One is that early two-year-old
racing should be checked • the other, that we return to
the old custom that our fcials should take their age from
the Ist of May. The first proposition—should our turf
legislature entertain it—will he, no doubt, a hard pin to
digest. Racing ii now so much a matter of business ;
the man with a stud of horses is, Ili a rule, so imbued
with one idea, to make a, touch money by them as he
can, that it will be almost useless to talk about deteriora-
tion, and the evils resulting from a forced maturity. l'sso-
year-old racing is, so to speak, the head of racing life.
To tell • man who believes he haa • smart animal of that
age that he had better wait until the months of July or
August before he runs him would be to tell a man who
saw the good things of life 'labia his grasp that he must
not put forth his hand to take them. What cares such a
man if, at the end of a year, the speedy youngster has
been run a his legs, and cuts the sorriest figure° as •
three-year-old I His account its Old Burlington-et:est, to
say nothing of the one at Albert Gate, will probably
console him, and he will buy something at Cobham or
Harden for • heavy Brune that has a look of • Brocklesby

until the month of July. His grandsire, Fhigh-r-ballagh,

THE
.m.Lui. LiU/!./LL "MATH,

Beaconsfield's face is sa well known as the
ortu.ntenance of Royalty itself ; and even the dull
imagination of the flat-nosed Franke, whom he despise.,
can figure the ludierou • effect of a gold crown modelled,
under the auspices of Tracy Turnerelli, alttr the nattern
of the "kunst nobilis, the sweet-melting bay used by the
Romans for the corona ;alma," placed on the brow of that
extraordinary head of which a recently-publithari photo-
graph is an almost speaking likenem In an eloquent
paseage Landor has lamented the subetitution of the
tined coronet for the civic wreath." Surely here is •
coronet in question. But why should this semis, of
compliment end with Lord Beacons&ld I Why should
not the same felicitous and graceful sj utholiszu be applied
in the case of other members of the cabinet! - Why
should not Lord John Manners receive a silver-gilt
Pillor-nost to place on his dininc-rown mantil-piece ; or
Mr. W. IL Smith be presented with • miniature ironclad
to suspend as a charm from his watch-chain: or Mr. Crum
have sent to him • statuette of himself habited as
Justice, with one eye bandaged, and the other winking at
the wale labelled " Thendoridi f " In fact, where is this
style of donation to end I Would it not he well to include
In the list of desirable Rift. a picture of Lord Salisbury in
the act, after having nearly climbed to Pie top of a
greased pole, of falling .own rapidly in the slough in
which the mastic planted! Whether Mr. Turnerelli is •
newspaper proprietor, v e do not know, but he certainly
deaerves 1.01119 reward. It is said that Lord Beacon-11M
will finally decline the honour. If so, that only makes
the whole mock-bootie episode more ludicrously cmpbto.
Cesar refusing the crown in sight of the Capitol is a
hiotoric group; and a Beaconsfield thrusting back the
chaplet which a Turnerelli offered—Mr. Chamberlain's
" sham patriot*" declining the "sham tribute "—would
be a subject worthy to engage the imagination of poet and
painter, or—t o employ Lord Bemontfield's chola. Oriental

WEYMOUTH PILE•PIEIt AT THE REGNTTA.

TO the Editor.

Why in the name of fairness to the people, was the ,
wooden part barricaded off Was it because the wooden
pier was unsafe? But then a pretty large party were
on it, watching the sj orts from this vantage point at
their ease, while the general public, who paid their
pennies, were confined to the stone stump of the pier, ,
where they crathered four or five deep till the hind-
most couldn't see a bit of the fun. Many longing ,
eyes were cast over the barricade, and some agile forme '
, climbed towards the top,dreadfully rousing the young
constable stationed there. Enquiries got us the infor-
mation that the favoured folks inside the barricade
were the committee, so we were forced to make two
curious deductions—one that they were remarkably
numerous, and secondly that if ix chow to litlicre it, the
majority of Weymouth Regatta committee wore girb.'
frocks and long hair down their back.. The authorities
of the Pile-pier or the Regatta committee,or somebody
or other, should explain what looked very much like
• gross piece of favouritism in excluding the general
L on Tuesday afternoon, and admitting • cloud of
"nobs." I wonder if all those " committeamen "on
the wooden Pies helped to collect subscriptions this
year. This contrivance of barricading out the public
has been tried before, but the admission of •
favoured part?: to the wooden extremity looks an if
the excuse of want of safety" was the same thing as
the spider in "Th. Three Chafers" declared love to
be—" all • hum." An Act of Parliament regulates
the toll-taking of the Pile-pier, and the Corporation
have no right to allow any favouritism on that public
place, or any consideration to be given or received for
admission thereon except that allowed by the Act. If
the Pier is unsafe shut it up altogether, and .sot
introduce class distinction, on • place which is equally
free to all who pay the toll.
