THE CHANCELLOR'S BUDGET.
MOST IMPORTANT REFORMS IN THE SU-
GAR AND TIMBER DUTIES, AND THE
CORN-LAWS.
On Friday evening, the Chan&llor of the Exchequer
and Lord John Russell announced to the House of
Commons the intention of Government to commence a
series of most important reform's in the commercial sys-
tem of the country. The changes proposed by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer are a reduction in the pro.
tecting duties on Baltic timber, and a much bolder and
more important reduction in the protecting duties on
foreign sugar, On the former article, the reduction is
only Gs. a load, but on the latter it amounts to nearly
30s. a cwt. The most important announcement, how-
ever, of all, was that made by Lord John Russell, who
gave notice, that on Monday the 31st of May, he
should move for-a Committee of the whole House, to
take into consideration the Acts relating to the trade in
corn! It is scarcely possible to describe the the sensa-
tion whleh the announcement of these reforms produced
on the House, and we can say from personal observa-
tion, that the sensation produced on the Liverpool Ex-
change, was scarcely less extraordinary. Amongst the
friends of Ministers, the feeling is one of universal delight,
that they have commenced a course of reforms most ur-
gently required by the wants of the country and in which,
whether they succeed or fail, they must cover them-
selves with honour ; and even amongst those who differ
most from Ministers on general questions, especially
those who are connected with the American and Brazi-
lian trades, the feeling of satisfaction is scarcely less
decided. By all, or nearly all classes, these proposals
are regarded as the commencement of a new commer-
cial system, which, if followed out to its proper results,
will enable the cosogry to bear its burdens, heavy as
they are, without diilculty, and will raise the trade and
commerce of England to a point of greatness unexam-
pled in ancient or modern times. By grappling with
the strongest of all the monopolies, namely, those of
corn, sugar, and timber, Ministers have struck at the
very root of the evil, and have prepared the way for a
complete change in the whole commercial system of
the country. In the midst of the unexampled depres-
sion which pervades trade and commerce in every one
of its branches, these bold reforms will revive confi-
dence, and excite the hope of better days. They have
not come a moment too soon, for never within our re-
collection has the trade of Liverpool and the manufac-
turing districts been so profoundly depressed as during
the last fortnight. 'this year, even the arrival of
spring, which generally brings a revival of trade, has
only been followed by a deeper gloom than that which
prevailed amidst the winter.
There are those who fear that the great change pro-
posed by Ministers in the Sugar duties will never be
carried through Parliament. We entertain no such
fears. It is perfectly clear, from the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's statement, that the nation's engagements
cannot be discharged, and the nation's establishments
cannot be supported, without an additional income of
nearly two millions sterling. There are only two ways
in which this sum can be raised. The one is by im-
posing.additional taxes on the whole British people,
who are already ground to the earth by taxation—the
other is by giving a fresh spring and impetus to trade,
by relaxing the protecting duties, and thus at once in-
creasing the income of the country and adding to the
comforts of the whole people. The merits of the whole
change may be stated in a sentence. It will add nearly
a million sterling to the revenue of the country, and
will reduce the price of sugar to every family in the
British dominions. That such a plan as this can ulti-
mately be defeated, we never can believe, and we feel al-
most equally confident that it cannot be delayed. There
must be an additional revenue raised to meet the expendi-
ture of the country, and those whq will not allow it to be
raised in this manner, will themselves have to raise it by
imposing additional taxes on the country. That Sir
R. Peel will attempt to turn Ministers out and bring
himself in by assuming so odious a position as that he
would occupy if he succeeded in-defeating this measure,
and afterwards had to propose a heavy tax in its place,
is what we have too much confidence in his sagacity to
believe, without some decisive proof. We are happy
to see that we were right in our conjecture that the
East India Rum Bill and the. West India Provision
Bill were mere preparatives. By those measures the
mother country freed the East and West India colonies
from the monopolies which formerly existed for her be-
nefit, and she surely has now a right to ask that the
protections established for their benefit shall at least be
mitigated. In this matter Ministers have wisely began
at the beginning, and we trust they will never relax
their efforts to emancipate the industry of the country,
until those efforts have been attended with complete
success. This one alteration in the sugar duties, while
it will relieve the revenue, and the whole people of
England by its direct operation, will also save the Bra-
zilian trade, which is at the present moment of the an-
nual value of many millions sterling, and which, if it
had not been for this measure, would, at the termina-
tion of the present treaty of commerce, which is just
expiring, have been destroyed by the imposition of reta-
liatory duties on British goods.
Great, however, as will be the benefits resulting
from the reduction of a protecting duty on foreign
sugar, they will be nothing in comparison with those
which will result from the establishment of the trade in
corn on sound principles. What Lord John Russell
intends to propose in the name of the Government is
at present uncertain, but from what is known of his
own opinions, and those of several of his colleagues,
especially of those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
it is believed that the fixed duty which he means to
propose will be a moderate one. Every friend of the
Government will rejoice if Ministers should make such
a proposal, and, we trust, that even those who wish for
a more extensive change will have the good sense to
support a plan incomparably superior to anything that
has been proposed by any former Minister of the
Crown. The plan of the Government being a mode-
rate fixed duty. we cannot entertain the least
doubt as to its ultimate success ; although
we aro not sure that it will be carried in the
present Session. But even this is less certain
than the supporters of the Corn-laws will be disposed
to think ; for, whoever may be the Minister, the pre-
sent system must be abandoned, and Sir Robert Peel,
who is already vehemently suspected by the country
gentlemen of a secret hostility to it, will feel great he-
sitation in committing himself into direct opposition to
a plan very similar to that which he will himself be
compelled to adopt, if lie should succeed in throwing
out Ministers on this question. One thing, at all events,
is quite sure, namely, that Ministers, by proposing a
reasonable plan of settling this most important question,
will do their duty, and place themselves in a proper po-
sition before the country ; for although we do not alto-
gether agree with Lord Sandon in considering that no
plan of Corn-law reform, not proposed by the Govern-
ment of the country, can be deserving of support, yet
we do quite agree with his Lordship that such a plan
ought to originate in that quarter, to give it any chance
of success,—Liverpool Times.

INCOME OF FRANCE AND
ENGLAND.

In the year 1810 the total net income of the country
was 47,567,566/., of which was derived from the
First Class (Customs and Excise) £35,536,469
Second Class ( Stamps 7,168,625
Third Class (Assessed Taxes) 3,940,444
By which it appears that the portion of the public in-
come dependent on the consumptive ability of the whole
community, and particularly the working classes, as pre-
ponderating so much in numbers, is about three-fourths
of the whole ; while the second class, which has rather
a mixed character, constitutes not quite one•seventh
of the whole ; and while the third class, a tax attaching
to property only, constitutes rather less than one-
twelfth part of the whole ; and if we put the two last
classes together, they yield less than ote-fourth of the
whole income.

It may be useful to put in comparison with the distri-
bution of our taxes that of the only other country in the
world the income of which assimilates at all to that of
this country—France. In the year 1840 the net in-
come was 1,184,523,365 f., or 47,380,932/., of which
was derived from

Customs and Excise ......... 398,915,000 f., or about of
the whole
Stamps and Assessed Taxes 617,915,000 f., or more than
of the whole

The comparison will stand between this country and
France, on the whole income of each country, thus :
England. France.

Customs and Excise, or Con-

sumption Tax
Stamps and Assessed Taxes,
&c., or Property Tax
The direct assessed taxes, alone considered, being in
this country little more than S per cent., while in France
they exceed 33 per cent. of the whole income.-I'he
Revenue, a Pamphlet by J. IVilson, Esq.

DUNDEE TRADE.—Our markets hare under-
gone no change during the last week. Prices of flax on
the spot, and of linen and yarns, arc without alteration.
In hemp, hemp codilla, and flax cedilla, no transactions of
any consequence have passed for some time back, owing
to the scarcity of some, and want of demand for others, of
these articles. The last advices from Riga are of the
3-15th instant, when flax and hemp were in demand, and
the prices fully supported. Flax cedilla readily fetched
15 Spanish reels per As., owing to its scarcity, which is
much out of proportion to the rates paying for flax this
season. Hemp codilla was offered out at 44 reels', with
no buyers thereat. Unless somethirg unforeseen occur to
depress the home trade, it is generally believed that the
present prices of flax will be maintained abroad during the
summer, be,Ause of the superior quality of the new crop,
which cannot be appreciated until the arrival of the spring
vessels with the first supplies.--Dundee Courier

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
THE HIPPODROME RACES.

STEWARM —The Duke of Beaufort anal Hon. Capt. Bons.
The Metropolitan Racing Season commenced yesterday
at the Hippodrome, with a success which, if not so
entire as could have been wished, proved that the spirit
and liberality of the proprietor hi completing a'm establish-
ment combining all the characteristics of a legitimate
meeting of the highest cyder, bare not been thrown away.
The assemblage embi aced nearly all the patrons of the
turf now in town, and a very respectable show of car-
riage company and horsemen. The doubtful appearance
of the sky, however, evidently had an efftet on the
attendance of fashionables, and the increase in the scale
of charges for admission prevented anything like a
crowd of either horsemen or pedestrians. The weasher
agreeably disappointed the forebodings engendered by
the heavy rain which fell on Monday and during
the night, and which, while it laid the dust in
the road for the visitors, made the ground so
deep and sticky on the course, that the horses sank up to
their fetlocks in many parts, and were unable to go any-
thing like a racing pace ; the " good-un's through dirt'
had all the best of h. In the Steward's Stand, we ob.
served the Marquis of Titchfleld, Lords Albemarle, A.
Fitzclarence, Worsley, and Maidstone ; Baron do Tessier ;
Sirs F. Collier, B. Hall, and C. Cockerell ; Honourables
H. Rous, G. Anson, G. Byng, 11. !Wellesley ; Colonel
Peel ; Messrs. Gardner, Houldsworth, Hawker, W. Ley,
Greville, Payne, Etwall, De Winton, P. Williams, &c.
The arrangements tar keeping the course, weighing, sad-
dling, starting, &c. were judicious and satisfactory,
proving that the public may rely on the same observance
here as at meetings of longer existence, and that they will
not be exposed to the trifling, annoying delays and disarrange-
ments which have been the base of so many places
within the home circuit. The strict punctuality with
which the time of starting was observed is deserving of
especial praise, the more so that it is a virtue which has
not been sufficiently estimated at Epsom and Ascot. Some
parties interested in those meetings were on the ground,
and as they have at all times shown a disposition to con-
sult the public convenience, we have no doubt that so com-
mendable an example will not be lost upon them. Having
mentioned in our paper of yesterday that a stand has been
erected for the betting fraternity, refreshments, &c., we
need only add that it was full to overflowing, and
that had it been double the size the proprietor
would have bad no reason to complain. We
understand that it is in contemplation to build a Grand
Stand, on a scale commensurate to the importance of the
meeting, and the patronage bestowed upon it.
The racing commenced precisely at three o'clock with—

Betting-7 to 4 agat Protection, 7to 2 agat Sterne, 5
to 1 agst Lydia, and 16 to 1 agst Clarendon. The lot
went to the hill in going out, where Newton reached the
front, and made play, followed by Sterne till they rounded
the turn for the straight run in, when he shut up. Sterne
and Lydia went on with the running, Protection waiting
to the distance, where he went up, and after a short strug-
gle with the two, defeated them very cleverly by a clear
length. Lydia made a capital race for second.

tress, who lost start, took the lead from them, and was fol-
lowed by Whisperer and Fat Jack to the bottom, where
she declined and Whisperer went on ; at the distance Fat
Jack challenged him and they ran head and bead to the
betting stand, where Fat Jack left him and passed the
chair, a clever winner by rather more than a length. The
others tailed oil;
