LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1353.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has brought
forward a " Supplementary " Budget. It will be
seen from the amended resolutions, of which the
Right Honourable Gentleman has given notice,
and which appeared in our impression of yester-
day, that he has, in some degree, modified his ori-
ginal plan respecting the Stamp Duties on News-
paper Supplements. This change is by no means
satisfactory to the Leviathan, inasmuch as in place
of gaining the entire 40,0001. per annum for it-
self, it is obliged to be content with 25,0001. per
annum as its share of (we will not call it bribe,
oh ! no, that is only for the smaller fry),
the " gratification " so generously announced
by the Financial Minister, but a portion of
which he now shabbily withholds. Nor is it
merely that the balance is abstracted from the
coffers of the Times ; but, still worse, there is a
chance that other journals, perchance rivals,
which, in point of accuracy and promptitude of
intelligence, of ability of argument, and in-
tegrity and consistency of purpose, might enter
into sharp competition with the Thunderer, may
reap some considerable advantage from the modi-
fication. This is touching our " big brother" on
a peculiarly tender spot ; it is establishing
a double raw of a very aggravating charac-
ter—abstracting from its coffers—bad ; transferring
to those of the Morning Advertiser, the Herald,
the Daily News ! f—worse and worse ; but encou-
raging these organs of public opinion to publish
additional sheets, and thus to encroach upon the
position assumed by the Jupiter tonans of Print-
ing-house-square I Horrible ! infamous !I atro-
cious ! ! Nothing more abominable could be
contemplated, much less carried into practical exe-
cution. And this vacillation or ingenious deception
of the Right Hon. Gentleman is the more provok-
ing, inasmuch as full and valuable consideration
had been given forthe anticipated boon. Was it for
such a result that our ponderous contemporary had
exhibited such shameless tergiversation on the Pro-
perty and Income Tax Bill ? Was this treatment
befitting a journal that had loved " not wisely,
but too well," abandoning for the ingrate the in-
terests of the industrious classes which it had pro-
fessed to advocate ?—uttering a scarcely audible
remonstrance against the equal taxation of every
description of income, and the placing upon the
same foundation the precarious and fluctuating,
earnings of industry, and the fixed and per-
manent proceeds of accumulated and rea-
lised property Was it for this that such
remarkable agility was displayed in shifting
the ground upon which it had previously
unfolded its banner—and where it professed to
have " nailed its colours to the mast." Oh !
GLADSTONE 1 GLADSTONE ! thou bast much to
answer for—and your temerity is scarcely less
remarkable than your cunning. But retributive
justice awaits thee—an avenging Nemesis attends
thy footsteps—only wait for the first opportunity,
and then thou shalt experience the punishment
due to so heinous an offence—verily, " much dirt
shalt thou eat," and that before the termi-
nation of the present Session ! Though the
Income Tax be carried, other questions remain,
affording suitable occasions for the well-merited
castigation, and the vindication of the majesty of
the offended Thunderer. The golden opportuni-
ties will not be neglected or misapplied. When
did the Times ever forgive or forget an injury ?
more particularly if anything rendered the offender
helpless, unable to resist or to resent aggression.
But it may be asked what has been the offence
of the Chancellor of . the Exchequer ? What has
lie done to merit such severe censure ? The
answer is easy-Ist. He has limited the indul-
• genre to a single supplement, still retaining a
halfpenny duty on any further additional
8811Pplement, printed as such, containing a
perficies not exceeding 1,148 inches. The dupli-
cate addition which our contemporary had fondly
looked

Fashion is a strange thing. The run at present
is unquestionably in favour of that journal, and it
could, therefore, fill such a sheet with announce

newspapers would have difficulty in doing. Tho
removal of the undue and incomprehensible re-
fitriction would render the privilege available, to
a large extent, by other periodicals, and, for that
reason, it was the more distasteful to the one
