THE BUDGET NIGHT,

The London correspondent of the Manchester
Examiner thus described the appearance of the
House on the Budget night :—" The House was
crammed in every part—from floor to galleries. I❑
those of the latter, which are devoted to members
of the House of Lords, there was a brilliant assem.
bly of the peers and diplomatists. Viscount Eversley
did not fail, as indeed he never fails on any great
occasion, to revisit the scene of his former glory.
There was Lord Derby listening eagerly, Earl
Granville, looking smiling, bland, and good-
humoured—as, indeed, I verily believe he would
do if he were going to be hanged. Earl de Grey
and the Duke of Argyle are always certain to be
present when Mr. Gladstone is to do anything
particular, for everyone knows that he has not
anywhere two more earnest and faithful disciples
than these two young noblemen—we observe
nearly all the Opposition leaders in their places.
Mr. Disraeli is as nearly as possible opposite Mr.
Gladstone; his face, usually inscrutable enough, is
screwed up to a pitch of tenfold inscrutability, He
sits with hie arms folded, his chin in. the air, his
eyes directed ceiling wards, immovable as a statue ;
except that perhaps three or four times in the course
of the speech he addresses a remark—you can see
what sort of a remark it is to be by the sarcastic
curl of his lip—to Sir S. Northcote, who sits on his
left hand. Mr. Cobden was —for the first time this
session, I think—present in his old place by the
side of Mr. Bright. lam sorry to say that be
is looking by no means so well as his friends
could wish to see him. Lord Stanley was on
the other side of his nominal leader, but I did
not see a word exchanged between them. The
oddest thing I noticed about hie lordship was that
he kept taking notes in a memorandum book. It
was to such an audience that Mr. Gladstone com-
menced his statement at the unusually early hour
of twenty minutes before five. As if disdaining to
excite by artifice the attention which he knew would
be given to him without it, he plunged into his
subject the moment he got on his legs—there
was literally not a word of exordium or intro-
duction. For nearly three hours he held the
perfect and unbroken attention of the house.
He had had a great triumph, and he showed
that he enjoyed it. Very characteristic of the
man was the fine passage in which he dwelt
upon the fact that her increasing commerce
makes England more and more the cham-
pion of peace and justice to the world ; and it
was delivered with a profound moral earnestness
of tone which showed how deeply it was felt. Sin-
gularly amusing—characteristic also—was the way
In which he played with the house, like a cat with
a mouse, going elaborately through all his minor
changes of taxation before ho would come to the
more important remissions.

"Minder" ptoceoding from a second'class carriage, while
travelling between Maidenhead and Twyford. In an ad-
joining first-class compartment of the carriage were Mr
James Bell, of the engineer's office at Worcester, and Mr
Charles Harris, the superintendent of the Great Western
Railway at Hereford, and the screams led them to signal
the driver of the train to stop.

On the train being brought to a stand-still many of the
passengers left the carriages, and Messrs Bell and Harris
had the door of the compartment opened from whence the
alarm arose. They then saw standing up a female in a
terrible state of agitation, and two men, one of whom had
pinionel the other by the arms, and was preventing him
from using a knife with which he had armed himself, and
with whie_h he had declared he would stab the woman.
The knife had been taken from him, and at this moment
Mr Wiison, the engineer of the Great Western Railway,
came up from another part of the train, entered the com-
partment to the assistance of the man who had pinioned
the would-be assassin. With cords and straps they then
securely fastened the man, who was uttering loud threats,
and endeavouring to liberate himself, and in this state he
was conveyed to Twyford station, where he was laid on his
back at the station and left in the custody of the station-
master.
It appears that the woman and the two men were
strangers, and that the man who attempted to stab her is a
Mr. Elton, in independent circumstances, living in Comer-
gardens, Worcester. He has been considered to be inane
for some time, but had trot before showed any symptoms of
violence. For the past few weeks he has been visiting in
London, and on Thursday night was on his way home.
The names of his fellow passengers whose lives he jeopar-
dised did not transpire.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE H. P. LYON.

This bankrupt was described as of Gloster-street, Pim-
lico, and applied for his release from custody, which was
opposed. It appeared that he had been insolvent in 1861,
and obtained his discharge, but had soon afterwards given
bills in favour of a party who obtained goods from the de •
taining creditors. The bankrupt alleged that the bills were
purely accommodation bills, but it was urged, on the con-
trary, that the bankrupt had, in some way, been benefited,
and it was therefore desirable that the transaction should be
investigated before the bankrupt was released.
His Honour said it was one of those cases in which as •
signeea should be appointed, and have time to inquire into
the matter. The release was therefore refused.

THAMES.

SERIOUS ROBBERY IN THE VICTORIA. Dom—John
Evans, who has for several years filled the responsible
situation of foreman clerk in the Victoria Dock, was brought
before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 20 bags of
guano, value £2O, the property of the dock company.
Mr. John Thomas N ewman, examiner to the Victoria
Dock Company, wished to give some explanation to the
magistrate relating to the prisoner's duties, and to put in
some documents, but Mr. Partridge decided that he could
not hear the evidence tendered.

William Lussignea, a dock labourer, said that on Mon-
day, the 4th inst., he was ordered by the prisoner to deliver
20 bags of guano and some rags to a carman, They were
put into a van, which drove away. He made no entry of
the delivery, and saw the prisoner make none.
Gaorge William ➢larna, a carman, of No. 62, Broad-
street, Rateliff, said he recollected the last witness putting
goods into his van. A wheel broke in the West India-road
soon after leaving the dock, and he went home for another.
While he was absent the guano was removed from his van
and taken a way.

Thomas Wickenden, a polioe sergeant, No. 53 B, said
he took the prisoner into custody yesterday, and told him
the charge. The prisoner said " Very well-1 have been
looking for you."
Lussignea was recalled, and said that three da3 s after the
delivery of the guano the prisoner gave him 10s., and told
him not to say anything about the delivery of the guano
into Marna' yen. He said to the prisoner, "I suppose you
are in trouble, then I don't understand what the money is
for." The prisoner said, " Never mind. Be quiet."
Mr. Partridge said the evidence against the prisoner was
slight. He remanded him until Friday next.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, asked the magistrate to
take bail for the prisoner.
Mr. Partridge consented to accept of two sureties in £25
each, and the prisoner in £5O, notice of bail to be given to
the police sergeant.

THE RAILWAY SCHEMES IN THE METROPOLIS.

A communication was received from the district board of
Hackney, requesting the Metropolitan Board to oppose in
Parliament the various railway schemes stopping up the
public roads or tending to de so.
An hon. member moved, that the matter be referred to
the street committee, which was seconded and agreed to.
A report was brought up from the Thames Embankment
Committee recommending that the committee be autho-
rised to negociate with the Metropolitan District (Inner
Circle) Railway Company to settle the terms and condi-
tions upon which they should be permitted to carry their
line through the northern embankment and the new street
from Blackfriars to the Mansion-house, reporting the result
to the board.
Mr. Fitazues moved the adoption of the report, which
was seconded by Mr. DALTON.
Mr. MILLER, M.P. (who was inaudible), was understood
:be empowered, to., and report to the board their recommen-

Mr. L. TAYLOR seconded the amendment, and said a
great many members were not able to attend the committee
of the whole board, and could do so on the weekly meetings.
Upon the amendment being put, it was carried and be-
came an original motion, which, upon a division, was car-
ried by 25 to 12.

On that ground alone it deserves to be supported

Major O'Reilly on the Army Estimates,

(From the dloT ring Herald.)
In the debate on the airuy estimates the member
for Longford has greatly understated the case as re-
gards the comparative strength and cost of the
French and English armies. He and the Marquis
of Hartington—glad, no doubt, to accept as truth
a statement so favourab:e to his own views—take
the estimated strength of the French army at
400,000 men and 85,000 horses. Now, the fact is,
that, altho'!:;h that is the number of men and
horses for which the vote is taken in the Budget,
it is well known that there are sous drapeae
at least 70,000 men who do not at all ap-
pear in the estimateE, as it may be said they
cost the country notbitg, that number of soldiers
being generally on six months leave of absence,
during which time they receive no pay, and those
leaves of absence are continually renewed for the
men who have completed five years service, so
that, while they are nominally dismissed, those
soldiers aro still actually available for the public
service in case of war, and could join their respec-
tive regiments within 48 hours. But, indepen-
dently of this great addition to the numerical
strength of the French army, which was admitted
in last year's debate on the budget, the army of
reserve amounts to at least 200,000 well disciplined
and fully equipped soldiers, who carry their kits
and knapsacks home with them after the training,
which occupies three months during the first, two
months during the second, and one month during
the third year of their service. And, iu addidan to
this, the expense of the gendarmerie, i,mounting to
25,000 magnificent troops, are included in the
French estimates.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE H. P. LYON.

This bankrupt was described as of Gloster-street, Pim-
lico, and applied for his release from custody, which was
opposed. It appeared that he had been insolvent in 1861,
and obtained his discharge, but had soon afterwards given
bills in favour of a party who obtained goods from the de-
taining creditors. The bankrupt alleged that the bills were
purely accommodation bills, but it was urged, on the con-
trary, that the bankrupt had, in some way, been benefited,
and it was therefore desirable that the transaction should be
investigated before the bankrupt was released,
His Honour said it was one of those cases in which as
signees should be appointed, and have time to inquire into
the matter. The release was therefore refused,

_BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.--Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
'manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-

posed by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Permit me by requestof my clients, Messrs. Brown
Brothers, of Cranbourn-street, Leicester-square, patent
range manufacturers, to correct a statement calculated to
injure their reputation, which appeared in the evening
papers, in reference to the committal of a scoundrel at the
Marlborough-street Police-court, giving the name of
"Charles Brown," and professing to be "manager of their
stove warehouse." lam instructed to state that no person
bearing that name has ever been in their employ, or has
ever acted in any such capacity in their establishment. I
find upon inquiry the real name of the prisoner is John D.
Griffiths, lately a clerk in their office.
Trusting you will give this publicity in your next paper,
I am, Sir, yours obediently,

THERE ARE NOT TWO SALAS, gravely protests the
Athenawn. There is but one Mr. George Augustus
Sala, and he is not endowed with power of übiquity,
although his literary action during the last four months
would almost justify a contrary opinion. While the Special
Commissioner has been startling the readers of a daily
paper with his letters from " America in the Midst of War,"
his facile pen has to all appearance been busily working on
this side of the Atlantic. So well have London publishers
and editors of London magazines kept his name before the
world, from the day when he set sail from Liverpool, that
people, living beyond the noise of printing-offices and the
gossip of literary dinners, may be pardoned for doubting the
identity of the author of " Quite Alone" with the clever
corresponeent who has shocked them with a bold assurance
that the virtue of the Transatlantic Republic may not be
sought in the lives of her married ladies, and has made
thorn laugh over poor Mrs. Lincoln's concern for the health
of her visitor,
