LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1869.

In a Budget, as in a black-cap pudding, all the
plums settle down at the bottom like a luscious sedi-
ment. It was thus last night with Air. LOWE'S maiden
statement as a Financier, precisely as it has been more
or less with the financial statements of all his
various predecessors. Once produced, however, and
turned out for the inspection and enjoyment of those
for whom it has been especially prepared—the Budget
appears before us with the relative position of its
ingredients reversed, the plums then quite naturally
coming to the top. Our satisfaction, like that of
JACK HORNER, the hero of the nursery song, is there-
upon, of course, to pick them out one by one without
any needless delay whatever in so doing. This time
the plums of the Budget are happily very plentiful,
and are therefore very apparent. The proposed re-
missions of taxation exceed three millions sterling.
They altogether amount to £3,060,000, of which the
remissions upon the present year alone will come to
£2,940,000. First of all, there is to be a reduction
of a penny in the pound on the income tax.
And, as every penny under this head, speaking in
round numbers, is calculated as producing about a
million, there is a corresponding remission then of
somewhere about £1,000,000. The One Shilling
duty on corn is to be got rid of--showing a diminution
there of very nearly another millfon, or, in other
words, of £900,000. From Midsummer next the duty
on Fire Insurance is to be altogether abolished.
The little peddling tax upon hair powder, producing
annually not a thousand pounds (1925 a year), is to
be swept away as a ludicrous anachronism. The
post-horse duty of £5 is also to be abolished, as a
matter relating to a simply obsolete institution. So
likewise are the licenses for selling tea. The
trumpery tax upon armorial bearings, seeing that
it cannot be got rid of at once altogether, is to be, as
though in retaliation, increased, in some cases to a
guinea, it: others to two guineas. Exceptional
and differential duties in regard to the taxes
on locomotion aro to be altogether abolished,
a uniform rate being levied instead. All stage car-
riages, for example, will be paid on just as any
others. The hack cab, instead of paying an annual
duty of £l9 or £l6 will, according to this more
equitable arrangement pay, as the case may
be, either £2 25., or £3 3s. Every two-
'wheeled carriage will be charged at a uniform
rate of 155., if under three hundredweight—the
same rate of 15s. being applicable to four-wheelers
if drawn by ponies. Instead of the horse-
dealer's license costing, as now, £27, it will

ANOTHER AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.

Another outrage has just taken place in Ireland.
A man named Austin M`Kean, with his widowed
mother and two brothers, occupied a farm at Kul-
shanny, county Glare, under Captain Crowe, a gentle-
man at present in India. Notice to quit was recently
served upon the M`Kean's, and the time having expired, the
agent, accompanied by Thomas Horan, a farmer, whose
son-in-law was the expectant tenant, set out for the place
on Monday to demand possession. The agent, a Mr.
Mahon, left Horan at his son-in-law's house close by, and
walked up to the farm alone. The widow and her sons
came out to meet him, and Austin declared that " the
land would not be given up without a life." Mr. Mahon
thus intimidated, withdrew. Austin then went towards
the house mentioned, and encountering Horan, he asked
why he had put " a rascal of an agent to take away his
land?" Before Horan could reply, he presented a pistol
at his breast, and cried, "Take that." A bullet penetrated
[loran's clothes on the right side and struck upon the
breast bone ; thence, fortunately, it glanced Off, and the
man received only a superficial wound, though his nervous
system sustained a severe shock. M`Kean, it is stated,
proceeded to re-load his pistol, but the other found imme-
diate refuge in the house of the parish priest. The Would-
be assassin took to the woods.

The Metropolitan Street Tramways Bill is still
under the consideration of the Select Committee of the House
of Commons. Various witnesses were yesterday called
in support of it, and set forth the various advan
tagee which would accrue to the public from the adoption
of a speedier, safer, and more convenient mode of locomotion

ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO UPSET A
PASSENGER TRAM,.

An atrocious attempt to destroy life has been madelby
some miscreant upon the London and South-Western
Railway, in the vicinity of Clapham Junction. An engine-
driver in the employ of the company left the Feltham
Station at 7.15 with an engine and tender for Waterloo, in
order to bring out the eight o'clock down train for Windsor.
He was running his engine tender foremost, and upon pass-
ing Clapham Junction be pulled up, as the signals were
on on both the boxes. He started afresh, and to the cir-
cumstance of his having been obliged to stop is pro-
bably due his preservation from death, for while going
between the Clapham Junction and West London signal
boxes, his locomotive ran over a heavy sleeper which
someone had placed across the metals. So violent was the
shock that the guards of the tender were knocked away,
although the engine remained on the metals. Lawrence
ordered his fireman to see what was the matter, as it was
extremely dark at the time. The fireman accordingly
descended from the engine tender, and upon going back
discovered the sleeper, which had been split by the
violence of the collision. Taking the sleeper, as no
more were then to be found upon the line, he ran his
engine on to Nine Elms, and gave information to the
police. About seven minutes after Lawrence had driven
his engine from the spot where it had met the sleeper, the
7.15 p.m. train from Kingston ran up to the same
place, the engine crashing into four or five more sleepers,
which must have been placed upon the line directly Law-
rence bad taken his engine away. In this case also the
engine very providentially did not quit the rails. The
spot is close to an embankment some twenty feet high,
and had the locomotive gone over, it would probably have
carried with it several out of the twelve or fourteen car-
riages of the train, which was occupied by a number of
passengers. The company is taking active measures to
discover the perpetrator of this deed, and it is said
that suspicion already points to a recently-discharged
employ.

REDUCTION OF THE AUSTRIAN ARM;

A telegram from Vienna informs us that a further reduc-
tion of the standing army of Austria is to be effected bypost.-
poning th calling out of the recruits. Although the last
army reorganisation law established a full Austrian force
of more than a million men, the standing army was made
comparatively small—lower than that of Prussia, and not
more than re e-fifths as large as that, of Prance. This further
reduction is decidedly a pacific symptom. It is primarily
measure of economy, but it is not likely that economical
considerations would prevail if there was serious danger of
war.

gold at the above price is of ab.Ait the same value in Lon.

TWO-YEAR-OLD RACING.

This is the subject of another long letter in the
Times written.by Admiral lions. Rejoicing that Sir
Joseph Hawleys motion to the Jockey Club was
rejected, he enters once more into a discussion of the
whole subject. He still refuses to believe that racers
have degenerated. He holds rather that they have
much improved. The old Eng racer used to come
in exceedingly exhausted to the winning post, so
that carriages kept up with him ; he used to be small
and poor, now he is fast and powerful, and stands
far ahead of all the other horses of the world. In
answer to Lord Derby's letter, the Admiral declares
that he never knew anyone run simply for sport and
not for profit, and that he has done all he can to
warn touts off the field. He also denies the excess
of gambling on the Turf, pointing out that
every lady's maid in London knew that either
Pretender or Pero Gomez must win the Derby. How
could £lOO,OOO have been won on it? He also repeats
his assertion that the Jockey Club has no jurisdic-
tion. He admits that as long as it acts with modera-
tion its example will, be followed, but tyranny, he
declares, will be resented. •

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1869.

. With evidences hero and there of considerable
reluctance on the part of several noble lords to inter-
' fere so radically with the general organization of the
hereditary branch of the Legislature, there are suffi-
ciently plain indications that the Life Peerages Bill
will be eventually accepted by the llouze of Peers.
After a rather interesting and at times animated dis-
cussion, it was by half-past eight o'clock last evening
passed through Committee. The principal altera-
tion in regard to it was this, that the amendment
proposed by Earl STANHOPE was in the end
withdrawn by the noble lord in consideration
of Earl RUSSELL'S assent to another modified amend-
ment, in accordance with which only two Life Peers
are to be created in any one year, and that the total
number are never to exceed—for some reason that we
cannot divine—the mysterious and scholastic aggre-
gate of twenty-eight. A maximum number of twenty-
five, otherwise a quarter of a hundred, one might
comr)rebend readily encuzh. Thirty, even being
a spare number, one might also readily under-

THE BEST REMEDY FOR. INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS, are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9J., and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.
Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

of that education which binds man to man ana raffia
to rank, the same thing might happen• again if
national Churches failed in their wide and
comprehensive duty. Pupils, he added, are
the wings of their teachers, as we could learn
from a Socrates or a Paul; and while a mere
priest isolates himself, his sympathies, and his caste
from the rest of mankind, the true pastor and
teacher identifies himself with those whom he in-
structs, and thereby educates them without lowering
his own position. This compassion of the teacher
and instructor ought to be as wide as the people
among whom one's lot is cast.

INDEPENDENT CONGREGATIONS AND THEIR
PASTORS.

The decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart giving
power to a dissenting congregation to dismiss its
pastor, has, it is stated, created considerable excite-
ment amongst the ministers ; and a correspondent
of the Star announces that the case is to be
carried to the Lords Justices. Meanwhile efforts
are to be made "to set ministers thinking of the
volcano over which their pulpits are now hanging."
London, England, 1869-06-04

The assured will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being
set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and
others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by
mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual securities.

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others bolding policies of this class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of groat importance where policies
are held as colTataral seCurits=:

It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables bolng unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, tboy will also be unchallengeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

Mr. DUFF, in reply to Mr. Eastwicke, said two suc-
cessful native candidates had had objection taken to them
on account of their inability to prove their age;
and he could only say ho regretted the circumstance.
With respect to whether any change would be made in
consequence, be could only say the Commissioners were
bound by the law as it stood, and therefore they had no
power to do anything not properly set out in the provisions
of the act of Parliament.
