THE FRENCH BUDGET OF 1849-50.
(From La Patric.)
The Members of the National .assembly have re-
ceived the first and the third volumes of the budget
of the year 1849. Tnese two volumes contain the
general documents and tables of the receipts and ex-
penditure, as well as the special budgets of the army
and navy.
. . _

We subjoin the following general statistical par-
ticulars :

The receipts of 1849, compared with those of 1848,
pre,ent a falling off, on one side of nearly
438,000,000 f., and an increase, on the other, of nearly
244,000,000 f., thus leaving a net diminution of re-.
sources for the current year to the amount of
194,000,000 f.

The expenditure is, on the one hand, diminished by
a sum of nearly 220,000,000 f., and increased, on the
other hand, by nearly 41,500,000 f. in consequence of
the increase of the national debt, and finally dimi-
nished by 178,500,000 i.

The uncovered deficiency of the budget of 1849,
compared with that of 1848, presents a final increase
of 15,500,000 f., or, in precise figures, 15,510,352 f.
The decrease of 438,000,000 f. on the receipts in-
cludes 191,000,000 f. fur the extraordinary additional
tax of the 45 centimes, which will not be renewed,
the 232,000,000 f. obtained by the loan of the 24th of
July, and the loan subscribed by the shareholders of
the Paris and Lyons Railroad, and from 12,000,000 f.
to 14,000,000 t. arising from various contingent
sources of revenue.

In the increase of 244,000,000 f. on the receipts
have been included 99,000,0001: expected to accrue
from the tax on fluctuating incomes, and the addi-
tional duties proposed on donations and inheritances, a
presumed improvement of nearly 84,000,000 f. on the
indirect taxes, 36,000,000 f. increase on the reserve of
the sinking fund, and 9,000,000 f. due from the
Northern Railroad Company, tv.c.
As regards the expenditure, the sum of 220,000,0001.
is the total amount of ail the reductions introduced or
projected in the various public services, especially in
the department of public works, and the 'Budgets of
the army and navy.

The inidget of- the army presents a decrease of
76,000,000 f. (3,000,000/. in round numbers). The
effective force of the army, which amounted on the
ht of December last year to 502,196 men and
.00,432 horses, is to be reduced this year by 121,379
men and 8,002 horses, leaving an effective force of
380,824 men, of whom 78.000 are destined for Africa,
and 92,410 horses, of which 15,490 are destined for
the same quarter.
The budget of the navy is reduced by 22,000,000 f.
(nearly 1,000,0000 The "active" fleet will be coal'
posed of 10 ships of the line, 8 frigates, 18 corvettes,
24 brigs, 12 transports, and 24 goelettes, or cutters,
manned by some 20,000 seamen. '1 here will be, be-
sides these, 2 ves,els and 5 frigates equipped for set-
live in harbour, and 8 vessels and 10 frigates in ordi.
nary (en commission de port). The steamers belong'
ink to the "active" fleet w ill consist of 10 frigates,
12 corvettes, and 34 avisos; 21 vessels—namely,"
frigates, 6 corvettes, and 6 avisos—will remain In
ordinary.

The budget of Public Instruction is increased to
the extent of nearly 3,000,0001.
The floating debt has increased by upwards Of.
41,000,000 f.

Such, in brief, is the budget of 1849.50.

NORTH LAMBETH BIBLE ASSOCIATION..—Last
evening the thirty filth annual meeting of this Assocnr
Lion was held in the Boys' Parochial Schoolroom, Lam'
beth-green, Lambeth. John Tritten, Esq., presided 00
the occasion. The meeting was numerously and very
respectably attended. A deputation from the British
and Foreign Bible Society, and the Secretaries from the
Sotithwark Auxiliary, were on the platform. The chair'
man, 'in opening the proceedings, briefly addressed the
assembly: After a few introductory remarks upon the
good which these societies had been instrumental in
doing, he contrasted the stormy state of Continetl.:
tal Europe during the past year with this loffii
and happy kingdom, and said that the quietude
of this empire was in a great measure to be attri"
tinted to the Bible, the book which was being so ill.
dustriousiy circulated by the Lambeth and many
other associations, owing to its being much more
read and studied in this land than in others by the
people, who make the revolutions. The chairman con'
eluded by calling on the Secretary to read the report'

past year have been 115 t 21. 9d. The number of
Bibles which have been distributed during the last try
months is 149, and the number of Testaments 171. Th°,
total number of Old and New Testaments distributed
since the commencement of the society is 14,492. .All.
other point which the repo;t referred to was, that the
distributors are now collecting small amounts from the
inhabitants of Lambeth for the purpose of forming I/
fund, in conjunction with the Parent Bible Society, the
proceeds of which are Cr be spent in purchasing Bible+
tracts, &e., which are to be sent to the heathen in foreign
lands. The report. being adopted, several resolutions
were then proposed sccotled. and spoken to by varioll_.s
r.'verend gentlemen; atter which a vote of thanks vol'
given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.
The Assemblee Nationale aaJ s :—" There sref
greater griefs than the lia.s of a throne. It is one °,
these supreme sorrows which now threatens the noble
family which the rev. lotion of February made ire fir°',
victim. General o'Houtletot, one of those noble hear°
who remained the courtiers of exile and misfortune, nri
rived on Wednesday from Richmond, with very I%
news. At the moment at which he took leave of
Queen Marie An rifle, who is seriously ill, she asked hi'
