THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, ' 1861.

One may suffice as an illustration of the
triumphant manner in which he replied to the
special exceptions to his statements, which had
been taken by objectors who really had weight
with the House as men of business, and to some
extent, therefore, authorities in matters of finance.
Mr. Morrarr, for example, had asserted amongst
a member of other adverse statements that the
600,0001. which the Chartemooft of tne EXCHE-
QUER anticipated from the Paper Duty would not
come into the Exchequer if the duty were taken
of in August next. The men fact that the
duty was to be removed so soon would so arrest
the manufacture that he ventured to assert that
the CHANCELLOR of the Excamium, in-
stead of raising the large amount he
bad stated would not receive a single penny.
To this Mr. Guitioroxs's reply was simple and
decisive. Owing to the system of drawbacks
which prevail in this branch of the excise, much of
the duty is paid beforehand, and the right hon.
gentleman stated that at least a third of the esti-
mated amount for this year has actually been paid
into the Exchequer. This is a fair specimen of
the kind of reckless and unscrupulous criticism
with which the Budget has been assailed, as well
as of Mr. GLADSTONE'S triumphant reply.
It is too late for the party who have instigated
this suicidal attack to retrace their steps, or
regain the ground they have lost in the eyes of the
country. Their leader did his best last night,
but the day is already lost, and his gallant efforts
to retrieve a false and foolish step were vain. Thei
House gladly went into committee, and notwith-
standing the efforts of Mr. Batumi and his friends
to defer the vote on the Income tax till after the
paper duty had been considered, passed the first
resolution on the paper.

A Washington telegram of the 16th April, to the
Boston journals, says :
The Governors of Kentucky and North Carolina have
positively refused to furnish the quota of troops required from
those states, and the President has sustained the Secretary
of War in ordering volunteers here immediately from
Massachusetts, to furnish a brigade of four regimenta under
• brigadier general. One of the regimenta will be sent
to Fort More, Norfolk, and the other three
retained here. Measures are being taken to socure the
railroad line from interruption, and ensure the safe
transportation of the troops. No orders have yet been
issued for the blockade of the southern ports, or for the
stoppage of the mails in the seceded states. It is under-
stood that General Scott wishes to have mots regulars
and some volunteers here, but to concentrate armies
of volunteers at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and Cairo, Illinois.

M. le President,—The electoral district of Bogdang, in
naming me deputy on April 4, his given me the finest re.
ward that I could desire for the services which I have been
fortunate enough to render to my country during the last
thirteen years. I return the sluices say rout sincere thanks ;
but as my forced residence abroad does not permit me to ree-
-1 pond personally to the confidence which ham been shown
me, and u, moreover, at a moment so decisive, I should
deem it a great loss for my country that even a single seat
in the Diet should remain unoccupied, I beg you to in-
form the electors of the district of Bogdang that while I
feel greatly honoured by their choice, I deeply regret that
I cannot accept the election in present circumstencee ; and
I beg them, at the same time, to honour again with their
confidence the esteemed patriot who was a candidate be-
fore my election, and who retired under the influence of
noble sentunents. ()solos KlArua.

25,000 Jews served in the national army.
