ST. JAMES'S PARK.

Sir B. HALL gave notice that on Monday next he
should move for a select committee to consider the
means of communication at present existing between
those parts of the metropolis north of St. James's park
and on the south and south-west part thereof, and to
report thereon.
WAYS AND MEANS.

Th• house went into committee on ways and means.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he was unable to fellow the usual practice of making
statements comparative of the past and present year's
expenditure and requirements, owing to the exigencies
of war. He should confine his remarks to the require-
ments of the ensuing financial year. He recalled to
their minds the statements he made on 10th April last,
in submitting the budget of last year. Last year he
stated the requirements of the country, iccludiag the
taxation and loans of different sorts at 90,139,0001., and
the actual receipts had been 88,539,000/. showing a de-
ficiency of 1,600,100/. in round numbers. The extra
expenditure over the estimates had been 1,960,0001. so
that the financial state of the country was worse
by 3,560,0001. than he had estimated it. The estimates
for the Customs was 22,450,0001., and there had been
received 21,600,0001. ; excise, 17,900,0001. ; amount
received, 16,860,0001. ; stamps, 6,Bls,oool.—received,
6,930,000/. ; taxes, 2,92o,oool.—received, 2,950,0001. ;
property tax, 14,535,0001. received, 14,726,000/. ;
post office, I,43B,oool.—reeceivd, 1,140,0001. ; crown
lands, 260,0001. ; miscellaneous, 800,0001.—received,
1,100,0001. The decrease in the Customs arose
mainly on sugar and coffee ; in that of Excise,
from the decroase of duty received for spirits, owing
mainly to the high price of grain and provisions. The
decrease on stamps, from the removal of the newspaper
imiar se cd stamp, had been compensated by the amount
that had been received at the post-office for the postage
of newspapers.
