LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, IVIARCH 31, 1862.

THE SUN,:

£1,130,000 ! In reality, the returns for the last
Quarter show an increase in the Income Tax returns
amounting altogether to £400,000—an increase that
would be utterly incomprehensible (remembering
the " penny" reduction) but that it is accounted for
by the collection of " arrears," Again—in regard
to the Excise returns—while it is unpleasantly un-
deniable of course that, upon the year, the falling
off there exceeds a million, shows a diminution in
point of fact of £1,100,000 or thereabouts—that
even, it should in justice be remembered,
is not by any means equivalent to the total
loss consequent on the remission of the Paper
Duties, an estimated foregoing, it will be re-
membered, of £1,330,000. Nay, the Excise actually
shews, in the returns about to. be made to-morrow,
for the last quarter, a positive gain on the corres-
ponding quarter of the last financial twelvemonth,
amounting to something very like £170,000. This
gain in the Excise, for the quarter, being attribute-
) ble mainly, by the way, to two items, usually run-
ning in couples, namely, those of malt and hops. All
which must be regarded, without a doubt of it, as
particularly encouraging and satisfactory; especially
if it be borne in mind that, during the past year, this
branch of the National Exchequer has been under
the disadvantage of having to repay heavy draw-
backs for stocks of paper actually on hand when
the duty was remitted.
• Lot it be remembered, then, that the last Quarter's
Revenue shows a decrease, under Customs, of about
£lOO,OOO, an increase, under Excise, of about
£170,000,an increase from Stamps of about£loo,ooo,
another increase of about £40,000 under
the head of Taxes, an increase, as we have
seen, of about £400,000 under the Income
tax, the customary small increase at the Post-
office, the Crown Lands receipts remaining, as
usual, somewhere about in statu quo, and
finally an increase of about £160,000 under the
vague head of Miscellaneous. So much for the
quarter. Now, as to the financial year which
but just now expired? There will be seen an
increase of some £35,000, chiefly from hops, tea,
sugar, and brandy ; a gain in stamps of some
£240,000; a gain in taxes of some £30,000; a gain
in the Post-office of about £160,000 ; no alteration
under the head of Crown Lands ; nothing particu-
lar in regard to the Miscellaneous ; but, as opposed
to this, a falling-off under the Income-tax of about
£555,000 ; and another loss, the heaviest loss of ail,
under the head of Excise, amounting to about
£1,100,000. So that on the Quarter, deducting
a loss altogether of about £lOO,OOO from
an aggregate increase of about £870,000,
there is a net gain (upon the quarter,
remember !) of some £770,000. While on the other
hand—viewing the returns upon the year last past
in their entirety—as we have to deduct merely
again of about £720,000 in all from a decrease of
about £1,650,000 we find that there is left a net
loss (upon the year !) of just £600,000 under
the million of, as nearly as can be at
this moment calculated £930,000. Such is the
plain unvarnished tale, so far as it can yet be related
with any accuracy. We have told it here not by
any means, as suffused with that hue of Hope, the
couleur de rose. We shall know more about it, so
far as the details are concerned, upon the publica-
tion of the official tables of the Revenue—and more
again on Thursday evening when Mr. GLADSTONE
will have to lay before the House of Commons his
Financial Statement. But already we can see
enough of it to know for certain that the results,
under the circumstances, might have been a great
deal less satisfactory.

General M'CLELLAN is now put upon his mettle.
He is " relieved" of all command but that of the
army of the Potomac, and he and all the Generals
are told by the PRESIDENT Commander-in-Chief,
to move, or be ready to move, forward at a day's
notice. The General has, therefore, moved, and he
has spoken too. Our readers no doubt observed his
manifesto to the army, on Saturday, and would see
that he felt that the time was come when he must
use the instrument he has created. He declares
that his reason for holding them inactive so long
was that they might give when they did move a
death-blow to the rebellion. He did not them that
they had hitherto been a mob, but he did tell them
that they were " now a real army "—and that in
regard to discipline, material, equipment, and a
formidable artillery, they were what he had striven
to make them.

He reminds them, howeier, that, as the " period
for inaction was past," as it was now to be his object
to place them where they would " wish to be on a
decisive battle on the field," he should have to make
large demands on their endurance and their courage.
Their antagonists are men as brave as themselves,
marches may have to be long and rapid, and move-
ments executed incomprehensible to those required
to make them. They are to conquer, but it is to be
by a " manly struggle." If much cannot be said
for the literary quality of the address, much may
be said for its spirit and manliness. There is no
bragging in it, no underrating of the enemy ; but
a fair description of the advantages he had laboured
to give them, and the old Roman exhortation to
trust their commander, even when they do not un-
derstand

His advance does not seem to have caused the
flight of the Confederates, but rather he appears to
have learned of their falling back, and to have
moved forward accordingly. It is rather remark-
able that the old trick practised so successfully for
some time within a few miles of Washington itself,
was repeated with like success at the advanced
works of the enemy at Centreville. When the for-
tifications there were reached it was found that
the "Bull-dogs were Quakers," painted logs
doing duty for formidable field pieces to Fede-
ral eyes. The works, too, appear to have been of
the most destructible material, sand and dirt, poorly
put together. The roads appear to be, even at the
best, of a very miserable character ; and the intro-
duction of railroads has rather made them worse
than better. It caused the common roads to be
neglected. The Confederates in retreating, however,
have only destroyed the bridges which can soon be
replaced by American energy, and then M'CLELLAN,
if he continues to prefer the direct southward move-
ment will be able to follow them, to the position in
which they are now reported to be strengthening
themselves near Richmond.
The Federals have sustained an unimportant de-
feat in New Mexico ; elsewhere they are still on
the winning side. General BURNSIDE, instead of
marching north with his small band from Albemarle
Sound, where he had been so successful, has turned
South, and attacked Newburn, in North Carolina,
which, however, the Confederates set fire to before
they left it. The battle was fought with energy
on both sides for four hours. If BURNSIDE ventures
further, however, from the coast, JEFFERSON DAVIS
ought to be able to crush him. To sustain his
energy twenty thousand additional men have been
sent him. This success, with the victories at Pea
Ridge in Arkansas, at Paris in Tennessee, the capture
of New Madrid, and the advance on the Potomac,
must tend to keep the North in spirits. We just
notice, however, that, as we had anticipated, the
Yankees are not quite pleased that the Confederates
went away from Manassas with the battle and vic-
tory which was to compensate for Bull's Rnn.
The question doubtless still is what will be the

pluck of the South. Its temper is plainly bad and
fretted enough ; but we have nothing yet beyond
the burning of a few towns and accumulations of
crops, to prevent the Federals from using them, to
show that Southerns are likely to sacrifice everything
for the disadvantage of governing themselves at a
vastly increased cost, and of parting company with
the wealthier half of the old Union. Discourage-
ment and submission, from we can yet see, is quite
as possible as desperation and retirement to the
swamps with guerilla warfare. As the east coast
of Florida is now conquered, the Confederates see
themselves completely engirdled by Federal ships
and arms, and it may well tax all the skill of Mr.
JEFFERSON Davis to keep up the courage of his
wholly circumvented dominions.

after which the royal yacht will proceed to Antwerp.

The Prince of Leiningen has left Buckingham
Palace for Plymouth, whither his Serene Highness has
gone to take possession of his new command, the Magi-
cienne, to which he has been recextly appointed. It was
this nomination that caused the Prince to leave Germany
in such haste that the Princess could not accompany him,
and her Royal Highness, therefore, remains for the present
on the continent. _ _

The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough will
shortly leave town for the Continent for a few weeks.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Kildare are

who is to appear in the " Puritani" soon after the opening
of the theatre.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The new enter-
tainment by Tom Taylor, entitled " The Family Legend,"
is postponed till Monday, April 7. It has been found ne-
cessary to give another week's rehearsal to complete the
scenic and other effects, which, we hear, are ingeniously
complicated. Our Card Basket and the Two Rival Com-
posers, therefore, will be performed during the week.
lr CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION.--Madame Lind
Goldschmidt announces her intention of singing in London

intend, it is said, to allow foreign officers of distinction to
become honorary members during the continuance of the
Exhibit ion.

HANOVER SQUARE ROOMS.—Mr. Mason Jones,
who is so well known for his clever orations on Milton,
Cromwell, Macaulay, &c., gave the second of a series of
orations on sacred characters yesterday afternoon, at the
above rooms, to which the public were admitted free. The
subject was Elijah, and the eloquent gentleman analysed
the character of the great prophet, and illustrated the extra-
ordinary incidents through which he passed with great
fervour and occasionally with deep pathos ; he combated
the arguments of the doubters end commentators with
logical acumen, and condemned the follies, vices, and much
of the literature of the present day in bitter and sarcastic
terms. The oration created a deep impressien on a crowded
audience.
DEATII OF MR. RICHARDSON, THE CELEBRATED

FLUTE PLAYER.—The Era records the death of Mr, Joseph

r Richardson, the eminent flautist, who has just expired,
after a long illness, in London, His first appearance in
Public was made many years ago at Rotherham, Yorkshire,
whilst ho was a mere youth. and he displayed, even at that
age, such a mastery over the flute that the late Earl Fitz-
william became his patron, and encouraged him to make
music his profession. He rapidly made his way to the first
rank of instrumentalists, and at the London and provincial
concerts, especially those of the late M. Jullien, his services
were in constant requisition. A few years since he ob-
toined an appointment in the Queen's private band, which
ill health, a short time ago, compelled him to resign. He
was a man of kindly disposition, of deserved eminence in
his art, and his death will to widely regretted.

CAPTURE OF A FEDERAL SHIP BY A CONFEDERATE
PRIVATEER —LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The ship D. G.
Fleming, which arrived here yesterday morning from Bom-
bay, reports the capture of an American vessel by a South-
ern privateer. Captain Hadfield, of the D. G. Fleming,
states that on the 4th instant, in lat. 26 N., long. 39 W., he
saw a large American ship about five miles ahead, steering
north-east. The American ship suddenly backed her main-
yard, when a rakish fore and aft schooner ran alongside,
and the American ensign was hauled down. The ship then
squared away to the north-west, after which the schooner
stood for the D. G. Fleming, but on seeing the British en-
sign flying, passed under her lee with the Confederate
flag flying. Her name was the S. C. Evans.
RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARMA-
IIENT.—on Friday the committee on the competing lines of
the Crystal Palace and South Junction Railway and Lon-
don and Brighton Company's new lines informed the re-
spective parties that in their opinion the Brighton Company
might make the proposed line between New Cross and Brixton,
and that the London, Chatham, and Dover Company might
make the proposed line between Peckham and the Crystal
Palace. Mr. Scholefleld, the chairman of the committee,
then adjourned the proceedings until Monday, to give the
parties an opporturlity of coming to an agreement on this
basis, adding, that, in the event of their not agreeing, the
committee would decide the question on their own view of
it. The bill for the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction
was passed in Mr Hassard's committee. The decision of
the committee on the Andover aid Redbridge lines was ad-
journed until some other railways, referred for considera-
tion to the committee, and having a bearing on that deci-
sion, are brought forward, and accordingly the case of the
Bristol and South-Western Junction Railway was brought
forward, and evidence taken on its merits. Continuous
evidence upon traffic, engineering, and other arrangements
occupied the committees on the Barnsley Coal, Bala, and
Midland Railway Company's projects.
THE RECORDERSHIP OF STAMFORD.--ThiS ap.
pointment, rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Maunsell,
has been conferred on Mr. Flower, of the Midland circuit.

FATAL EFFECTS OF PRACTICAL JOKING. —A
dreadful instance of the danger of playing practical jokes
occurred three days since in the neighbourhood of St. Foy
(Dordogne). It is a custom among the peasantry there, to
give a new married couple, about 12 o'clock on their wed-
ding night, a basin of garlic soup, called tourrin in the
dialect of the country. At the marriage in question some
foolish person put a quantity of laudanum into the mess,
and the unhappy couple were next morning found dead in
their bed. The police have instituted an inquiry.
THE 2D LIFE GUARDS.--•A Court of Enquiry has
been sitting at Windsor for the purpose of investigating
the circumstances connected with the discipline of the 2d
Life Guards, under the command of Colonel Mountjoy
Martin, to which we have already called attention. The
Court is composed of General Lawrenson, Inspector-Gene-
ral of Cavalry, president ; Lord George Paget, Command-
ing the Cavalry at Aldershot ; and General Horsford.
The Court sat for the first time on Friday, at the Cavalry
Barracks, Spittal, and again on Saturday, from ten till four,
after which the proceedings were adjourned till Friday
next, in consequence of the regiment being under orders to
march from Windsor to Regent's-park Barracks on Wed-
nesday next. Nearly all the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and privates will undergo an examination. Several
of the officers have already been examined ; but as the pro-
ceedings will be conducted within closed doors, the par-
ticulars will not be known until the decision is promulgated
from head-quarters.
METROPOLITAN POLICE.—It is found necessary
gradually to increase this force from time to time. At the
beginning of 1860 the entire body—superintendents, in •
spectors, sergeants, and constables—numbered 5,986 men;
in 1861, it was 6,617; in 1862, 6,779. There is also a con-
siderable number of men employed in the dockyards and
military stations. The cost of all this force in the year 1861
was £533,622. The sum of £328,783, was raised by a
sixpenny rate on the parishes; the Treasury had to add a
sum equal to one-third of the produce of this rate ; and of
the residue of the cost, also, the chief portion came from the
public purse in payment for services at the Government
offices and establishments, and for the discharge of the
duties of the home patrol and Thames police ; but nearly
46,000 were paid by public companies, lessees of theatres,
and private persons, for services rendered by the police in
keeping order for them. The cost of the police courts of the
metropolis, with their 23 magistrates, amounted in the year
to £60,064, the whole of which was granted by Parliament
with the exception of about £ll,OOO, the produce of fines
and fees at police courts.
A WORD ABOUT THE NORTH AMERICAN NE-
GROES.—No circumstance is more important than the ab-
sence of vindictiveness towards the dominant race. The
negroes do not extensively impute cruelty, each to his own
master, though in every neighbourhood there are some em-
ployers who have a bad name for rapacity and severity.
Under their present guardianship there is no incitement to
idea.
The ; and nothing seems to be heard of any such
The people crave support against any attempt to reduce
them to slavery again ; they are well understood to have
prepared themselves to commit siucide, in inconsiderable
numbers, like so many liroomen, rather than submit to
the yoke any more ; some of them have brought in their
masters to the camps as prisoners of war ; but there
does not seem to have been a single instance
known of outrage to slaveholders or their families.
Yet the slaveholders have,"with their own hands, shot many
negroes in the woods and on the high-roads, for refusing to
be driven with the cattle into the interior. The strong re-
ligious tendency of the negroes has doubtless come in aid
of their placable temper. Every possible use is made of it
by the Commissioners to restrain their passions. They
seem to take their religion very much to heart where they
really understand its requirements. Thus, they swear
very little, though their masters on the one hand, and
the Federal soldiery on the other, sin terribly in that
disposed to be correct in their
way. They seem fully
marridg,a relations, when once raised above the brutish
condition.; in which they have been involved by the con-
stant endeavour to increase the human stock on the
plantation. Their religion is certainly not all sentiment or
passionate excitement. They have their " glory shout" at
the close of their prayer meetings, when they join hands and
raiee a cry which must be like our harvest-home clamour ;
but at the same meetings they ask and learn what their
duty is. with sincerity and zeal. It is a significant circum-
stance that in one place they held a general meeting, with
all the forms, to discuss a point of right and wrong, and
settled by vote that they ought to subscribe to pay for their
own candles for their own prayer naeotings.—Ono a Week.
