THE INDIAN BUDGET.

The Indian budget has been laid before the council
at Calcutta by Sir Richard Temple. A large balance
has previously been lett against the Government for
the working of the railways, but in the coming
year it is estimated that there will be a surplus. In
order to produce the much-desired equilibrium in
Indian finance some large reductions are proposed,
including £734,551 in the army expenditure, and
over a million on the ordinary outlay on public
works as compared with last year. Taxes remain
almost entirely unchanged. It is proposed to raise a
loan of £2,000,000 in England.

CYRUS FIELD AND THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

Mr. Cyrus Field, whose name is well-known in this
country in connection with submarine telegraphy,
has now undertaken a more arduous task
than that of underspanning the Atlantic.
He is at Washington, busy with a project
for the settlement of the Alabama claims. He pro-
poses that the United States shall name three
eminent persons, all crowned heads, as arbitrators in
the matter, From these three Great Britain is to

burCUL ona, una nis decision snail D 5 acknowledged
as final by both parties. Mr. Field suggests also that
the converse of the scheme may be tried, Great
Britain nominating the three, and the United States
making the final selection. Mr. Sumner,
with whom Mr. Field has had a long con-
ference, does not, however, favour the pro-
position. lie does not think the crowned heads
of Europe would be properly impartial in a matter
where a Republican Government was concerned, and
he thinks it, moreover,, beneath the dignity of the
United State 3 to submit the affair to arbitration.
London, England, 1870-04-05

ELECTORAL DISABILITIES OF WOMEN.

WINE AND BEERHOUSES.

CHEAP TRAINS.

Mr. C. REED gave notice that after Easter he should
call attention to the inconvenience occasioned to the work-
ing classes by certain railways, in consequence of a refusal
to provide cheap trains for their accommodation, and
move a resolution on the subject
DOCKYARD SUPERANNUATION.

Mr. STONE—To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty,
whether the following statement was true : " A. 8.1 a
labourer in Deptford Dockyard, applied for superannua-
tion on the reduction of that establishment, having the
means of earning a livelihood in the town of Deptford.
He was refused superannuation on the ground that he
was too young and healthy, and was sent to Portsmouth,
where he has been for only twelve months. He has now
been ordered for discharge, though he has a wife and seven
children ; and, on asking the reason, he was told by the
clerk in the cashier's office, You are a Liberal, and voted
for Gladstone, it serves you right.' "
Mr. CHILDERS said the remark might have been made
by a conservative clerk, but it did not chew that he was
well up in history, because Deptford Dockyard was closed
by the late, not the present Government. With respect
to the superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, he was
quite certain that no person had ever been discharged
from there in consequence of his political opinions.
Mr. STONE said he could hardly say that the reply was
an answer to his question.
Mr. CHILDERS replied that it was the best he could
give, as he could not find out who A. B. was. (Loud
laughter.)

ELECTION OF GUARDIANS.

The St. Pancras doings have led to the formation
of a "Ratepayer's Association," having for its object
to secure the return of a different class of guardians
at the forthcoming election. This body states in an
address just issued that at the last election only
7,000 persons voted out of 19,000 who were qualified
to vote. So it seems that parochial squabbles have
taken away the ratepayers' interest in its representa-
tion. At Kensington, too, the !inhabitants are asked
to elect Guardians of a different order from those
who usually ,stand. Four gentlemen are proposed,
of whom two are barristers, and one an ex-M.P.
They are said to be men likely to devote themselves
in earnest to the useful task of bringing the action of
the poor law into harmony with that of tho local
charities.

CUPPING IN THE ARMY.

Some time ago the attention of the public was
called to statements that disabled soldiers, in order
to be prevented from re-enlisting, were cupped and
cross-cupped by the army medical authorities. When
the question was asked in Parliament as to the
truth of these statements, the Secretary of State
for War replied that this treatment was only
used as a remedy for disease. The Daily
Telegraph says that at that time, though
it exonerated Mr. Cardwell, it wrote of his
Department :—" They have put into the mouth of
the responsible Minister an answer which is the
exact contrary of the truth." It affirmed that there
was " a secret understanding between the Horse
Guards and the Army Medical Department by which
this detestable system had been carried out." A.
Parliamentary return was ordered on the subject ;
it has now appeared, sheaving that in 1867,
1868, and the first four months of the
year 1809 the number of men branded
in this way in regiments stationed in Great Britain
and Ireland were twelve hundred. The return states
various diseases as the reason for the practice in each
instance, but the Telegraph declares that the Army
surgeons know well, if they speak the truth, that
instead of being " remedial " this practice has been,
in simple language, deliberately deleterious.

THAMES.

John Shaw, a barnmernian, aged 28 years, was
charged with stealing a suit of clothes, and other
property, belonging to Alexander Long, a boiler-
maker. The two men were fellow-lodgers, occupy-
ing one room at No. 1, Belton's-terrace, Millwall,
Poplar. They slept in the same bed. The landlord
of the house hearing the prisoner leaving the house
at 2 o'clock this morning, called the prosecutor, who
then missed his bed-fellow, and at the
same time missed all his clothes, his boots,
a pair of socks, a scarf, and a shirt. The prisoner
had not proceeded far before he was stopped by
Robert Newstead, a police-constable, No. 411 K, who
found all the property. Ile was wearing Long's
clothes over his own. The prisoner pleaded guilty
and the magistrate, after commenting on his cruelty
to a man as poor as himself, in robbing him of his
clothes and leaving him without anything to wear,
sentenced him to six months' imprisoment and hard
labour.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.
A more seasonable month than the month of March
Just brought to a conclusion it has been seldom our good
fortune to meet with. With a succession of dry winds,
and a low range of temperature, an effective check has
been offered to the premature development of vegeta-
tion whilst at the same time the cold has not been so
intense as to cause anxiety in reference to the young
winter-sown wheats. Farmers have been enabled to

that there has been an absence of anything approach-

Competent authorities, whilst generally endorsing the
opinion that no important reduction is likely to take place

prospects are decidedly antagonistic to any material

UNIVERSITY TESTS.

Mr. SARTORIS asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether he would name an approximative date for the
introduction, after the Easter Recess, of the University
Tests Bill.

Mr. GLADSTONE said his learned friend the Solicitor-
General, before the recess, would name an early day after
the holidays for proceeding with the bill.
PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.
Viscount CRICHTON asked the Secretary of State for
War, whether the unattached promotions about to he
given in the army, were to be given only to the senior
officers of each grade, without reference to special qualifi-
cations or distinguished service in the field.

Mr. CARDWELL said the promotions about to be given
would in the first instance be offered to seniority.
DIRECT COMMISSIONS.

Sir JAMES STRONGE asked the Secretary of State for
War whether he could name the date at which the next
examination for direct commissions would take place, and
between what ages candidates were eligible.
Mr. CARDWELL said in May there would be an examina-
tion for 150 cadets, but no alteration would be made in
existing arrangements.

THE SERPENTINE.
Captain Dawsox DAIeER asked the First Commissioner
of Works if, while the works of the Serpentine were still
in progress, it was not feasible, and even expedient, to
take steps to render the borders of the lake more pic-
turesque.

• Mr. AYBTON said the contract for works at the Serpen-
tine had been signed before he took office, and it would
occasion great expense to make any alteration in it now.
With respect to the mud, Mr. Fowler, the engineer,
had taken every precaution to prevent any inconvenience
to health arising from its removai.

THE RED RIVER.
Mr. SINCLAIR ATTOUN asked the Under Secretary

state for the Colonies whether there was any truth in the
report that imperial troops were to be sent to the Red
River Settlement; and if so, whether he has any objec-
tion to lay upon the table copies of any correspondence on
the subject between the the Colonial Office and the Go-
vemortaeneralaCanacia.

Mr. MONSELL said an applicatir Ai for the services of a
small body of troops hed been asked for, and was now
under consideration, but no fixed determination had been
COMO to on the subject.

MR. BRIGHT.

The Glasgow Herald states that though Mr. Bright's
health is improving, his •progress towards recovery is so
iow that there is no chance of his returning to
iris Parliamentary or official duties this session.
He has, therefore, manifested a desire to be
relieved from his responsibiles at the Board of Trade, and
has left the decision to his colleagues. Mr. Gladstone, it
is said, is very unwilling to lose the influence which Mr.
)3right's presence in the Cabinet confers. We may add
that Mr. Bright's own near relatives are anxious that he
should resign.

THE RIOTS IN JAMAICA.

Sir CHARLES DILKE asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether, having regard to the circumstances attend-
ing the military execution of the late Mr. G. W. Gordon,
a member of the Legislature of Jamaica, and to the in-
jury done to the property of his widow, he was prepared
to consider the justice of making some compensation to
Ms. Gordon for the grievous losses and sufferings she has
sustained.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply, said no evidence had ever
been laid before him of the losses that Mrs. Gordon had
sustained, and he did not think the subject was one that
came within the Civil List. Under all the circumstances,
he did not think it would be consistent with his duty to
make any application to Parliament on the subject.

WESTMINSTER.

Mary Kenneday, a big, powerful woman, was
placed at the bar charged with feloniously assaulting
and wounding Sarah Finley by stabbing her in the
breast and shoulders with a clasp knife. Prosecutrix,
who was very-weak, said, " I live at 5, George's-court,
Perken's-rents, Westminster. I have a child lying
dead, and friends came to see me last night. I saw
them to the end of the court to bid them good night,
when the prisoner, whom I had never seen before,
ran up against me. I said, " You might mind what
you -are doing," when she immediately took the clasp-
knife produced from her pocket, opened it, and
stabbed me in the breast and on the shoulder. A
young man caught me. I fainted, and was taken to
the Westminster Hospital. The prisoner, who pleaded
drunkenness as an excuse, was remanded.

ABANDONMENT OF PROJECTED RAILWAYS.

Herepath's Journal touches on the subject of the
abandonment of projected railways, and refers
to the hardship which may result from
the intention of the Government to set
its face against railway abandonment bills
in general. It may, says the writer, have a
salutary effect in preventing the concoction of
schemes never intended to be carried out; but it
should be considered that a great many
lines years ago were, unhappily, projected by
or for established companies which ought not to be
made. If the companies, he adds, are compelled to
construct a number of useless lines, the result will be
an attempt to make the public pay higher fares or
put up with diminished accommodation. This will
be, he contends, a great national injury. -

THE TREATMENT OF LUNATICS.

A very painful case has lately occurred at Hanwell
Lunatic, Asylum, arousing uncomfortable suspicions
as to the manner in which the unfortunate
patients are occasionally treated. William
Bird, a commercial traveller, 61 years old,
became an inmate of Homell last February, after
about two years' insanity. One day last week he
was reported to have had a very bad fit, and the
doctor, on visiting him, found him lying on a
mattress in a padded room, strongly, convulsed.
He prescribed the necessary remedies, and left him.
The next day he was no better,- and the doctor's
suspicions having been excited, he elicited that the
patient had "had a fall." The next day he died,
never. recovering his consciousness. A post mortem
examination proved that four ribs were broken, and
there were other injuries, but as the medical
evidence showed that death was caused by epilepsy-,
a verdict of " death from natural causes " was re-
turned. The only explanation given of the broken
rib 3 is that the man had a fit and
fell off his chair, not a very great fall
to produce such results. Several of the daily papers
are severe on the subject, and the Times
remarks that it is very extraordinary that
patients in our lunatic asylums are constantly getting
their ribs broken, despite padded rooms and every
other contrivance, and it is, to say the least of it,
unfortunate that inquest after inquest should reveal
instances of either preventible accidents or brutal
violence. The negligence or indifference shewn
after the events are scarcely less lamentable.

MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTERDAY.

Notwithstanding the increase in the supply of money,
and the prospect of further abundance, the Stock
Exchange markets have been quieter to-day. Consols
have been inactive at 931 to 931 for money, and 931 to 93,5,
for April. Reduced and New Three-per-Cents 911 to 92.
Exchequer Bills par to ss. prem. India Five-per-
Cents have been done at 113 to 1131, and India Bonds at
Os. to 255. prem.

The market for English railway stocks opened firmly,
at a further improvement in many instances, but subse-
quently the quotations were weakened on a pressure of sales'
Metropolitan receded 1, Midland 1, London and North-
Western, a; and Great Western, ; but South-Eastern

Indian stocks have continued quiet, and the demand for

The foreign bond market generally has been depressed.
Spanish have been unfavourably influenced by the un-
favourable news from the Peninsula, and prices have re-

For American securities there has been only a moderate

As regards British mines, Van have been rather
weaker.

In Bank shares no movement of importance has tran-
spired, and the demand for them has been only to a mode-
rate extent.

Telegraph shares have been rather firmer. British In-
dian Submarine have risen /, and Falmouth, Gibraltar,

The sum of £lO,OOO in sovereigns has been withdrawn
from the Bank for exportation.
At Mark-lane to-day wheat was quiet, but prices have
ruled firm.

The money market to-day has been devoid of any im-
portant feature. Now that engagements in connexion
with the 4th have been met, a period of ease may be
expected, as the demand for commercial purposes is by no
Means strong. In the course of the current week a large
addition will be made to the stock of money by the pay-
ment of the dividends on the Reduced and New
Three per Cents., and, although perhaps no alteration may
he made in the official rate, the range in the value
of money in the general market will then undoubtedly be
decidedly easier. To-day three months paper has been
readily negotiated in Lombard-street at 2 per cent.
The Kepler has left Liverpool for the River Plate, with
£4,000 in specie, and the City of Buenos Ayres has taken
for the same destination £15,000 in specie.
Calcutta advices state that the Finance Secretary in-
tends to raise a new loan of £2,000,000 in England.
It is stated that the Spanish Government have made
*rrangements with some Paris establishments to take
the balance of the old loan and the £10,000,000 of Treasury
Bonds.
London, England, 1870-04-05

Tne resumption of morning sittings forces upon
the Times the question of whether our Parlia-
mentary system, as now conducted, does not make
exorbitant demands on the strength, both phySical
and mental, of all working members, but especially
of those who have administrative as well
as legislative duties to perform. The Prime
Minister, for instance, must have got through an
enormous amount of work last Friday. In the morn-
ing he was, dountless, engaged in disposing.of letters,
and other business. At two o'clock the House of
Commons met, and Mr. Gladstone discussed, or was
engaged in the discussion of, the Irish Land
Bill till seven o'clock. Then, after a short
interval, followed an exciting debate, in
which he took a leading part. This sort
of strain is not exceptional. Mr. Gladstone will have
to make equal exertions day after day, and week
after week. Though it may be said that very few of
our statesmen actually break down in harness, yet it
does not prove that we lose nothing by taxing their
faculties so unreasonably. Though the Times
allows that it is easier to insist on this evil,
than to propose a remedy for it, yet it thinks that
the habit of -making speeches out of Parliument and
that of receiving deputations, whose very numbers
render conference impossible, are of quite recent
growth, and involve a pure waste of a Prime
Minister's strength.

POSTAL " REFORM."

More protests ate entered against the vexatious
and unjust measure of the Post - office
with regard to the transmission of printed matter.
The proprietors of the British Trade Journal say
that the postage upon 12,000 copies of that paper
was previously £lBO. Now it is nearly three times
as much. It seems quite useless to multiply argu-
ments against such a glaring injustice ; all that
remains to be done is for a strong deputation to wait
upon the Postmaster-General.

TURF REFORM.

The committee of the Jockey Club appointed to
consider the subject of turf reform have submitted
their recommendations. A non-official summary of
them is given in the Sportsman. First, the committee
deal with the authority of the Club at the various
racing meetings; and in order to uphold this in all
its integrity, it is recommended that no notice be
taken of the programme or results of any gathering
where the rules of the Club are not recognised. Any
horse running at such a meeting is not to be allowed
to take part in a `regular" meeting. The
same disqualification will apply to jockeys. Having
vindicated the authority of the Club, the committee
take in hand the details of racing. They urge that
no plate or prize of less value than £5O shall be ad-
vertised in the calendar. The season is to be
shortened. No meeting shall commence before the
week which includes the 25th of March, or continue
beyond the week which includes the 15th of Novem-
ber. Then follows an alteration in the conditions of
selling races, and another touching the meetings of
the Club. Some other regulations as to assumed
names are added. But with respect to the really
essential points of turf reform, the recommendations
of the committee are not extensive. They make
no further alteration in the running of two-year-olds,
proposing to retain the first of May as the earliest
date for such contests. They are also of opinion that
no two-year-olds should be allowed to run in handi-
caps before the Ist of October, and then only with
horses of the same age. They have 'come to the
conclusion that the Club should not recognise
the publication of nominations before the weights,
and should decree that the acceptances for free handi-
caps, and declaration of forfeit for other handicaps,
should not be published earlier than the Thursday
immediately preceding the week in which the race
is run. Three-year-olds and horses of greater age
ought not to take part in races under five furlongs.
Finally,• the committee recommend that the weight-
for-age scale should be revised byanother committee ;
and express their opinion that post entries ought to
be discontinued.
