The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of petstilums Without ex-
pense or ferfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-

PROM TRIO MORNING' PAI•ZIA or TRH DAY.

TIMES.—Dr. Johnson says that the more human misery
is inquired into,
.the more may it be traced to petty dis-
comforts. Last night's Budget proceeds on this principle.
As far as it goes it is a clearance of small but vexatious
items—the weeds of taxation. We don't begin very grand.
Like the charity children in the front of a procession, the
least come first. The nation is to sacrifice 45,0001. to equalize
the duties on flint and bottle-glass. The insignificant sum
of 25,0001. releases vinegar from taxation, and is a great
relief to many branches of manufacture. At the expense of
100,0001. a great reduction is to be effected in the duty on
marine insurances—a good beginning, which a prudent Go-
vernment will be sure to follow up, for what can be worse
than a; tax on prudence—a penalty on virtue ? Then came
cod news for little boys and girls, who havea right to come
for a bit of this wonderful surplus. With 9 ,0001. the
tax on currants is to be reduced from 225. to 15s. per cwt.
The great falling off in the importation of currants was
really one of the most pathetic symptoms of the recent dis-
tress. As far as the poor are concerned, the golden apples of
the Hesperides are not a greater fiction than the roast-beef
and plum-pudding of England. The duty on foreign coffee
is to be reduced from Bd. to 6d. a-pound. This great
boon to the poor will cost only 50,000/. Then
follows a significant hint at the consequences of
taxation. The duty on the spurious substitute, chicory, is to
be raised, The next item is important, and will raise a qualm
or two, unnecessarily we think, in the hearts ofour agricultu-
ral friends. The duty on raw wool, producing 100,0001., is to
be abolished. This puts the finishing stroke to a long burden
on British manufactures, and adds fresh obsoleteness to such
historical curiosities as the act compelling burial in woollen.
The whole of these reductions amount to about 387,0001.
COnsidering that the Minister was much in the situation of a
woman with a large, hungry, and ill-clad family, going to
market with ten shillings in her pocket, he has not done
amiss. We now see the instructive force of the promised
issue of half-farthings by our thrifty Premier. To these
changes must be added a reduction of the differential duty on
foreign sugar, in favour of States not tainted with slavery.
The additional duty in their case is to be only 10s. The
effect on the revenue, we suppose, cannot be easily calculated,
as it is not stated. 4.nd now for the income-tax. It is to
be considered next year. Perhaps the increasing surplus, and
perhaps the general improvement in trade, may then allow
us to define its somewhat indefinable duration. But to hope
for its early removal, we must have the faith of the sports-
man, who always went out as soon as he saw a patch of blue
sky large enough to make a pair of—what shall we say ?
gaiters, we suppose it was.
POST.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer laid before the
House of Commons, last evening, his annual statement of
the actual receipts and disbursements of the past, and the
anticipated revenue and expenditure of the current years.
He commenced his financial exposition by avowing that ,
just his estimated income of the year ended had been greatly
exceeded by the actu income. Mr Goulburn next made
the avowal that his calculations of the expenditure of the
last year had far exceeded the actual disbursements. The
charge for the debt on the consolidated fund had fallen short
of his estimate by 50,000/. The expense for the army had
not been so great by 500,0001. as he had anticipated; and
the navy had required less by 650,0001. than he had calcu-
lated. Taking together the increase of revenue received
over his last year's estimate, and the decrease of expenditure
below his last year's computation, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer announced that, instead of 700,0001. sur-
plus which he predicted twelve months. ago, the actual
surplus of receipts over disbursements, for the year
ending the sth of April, was 4,160,000/. From this
gross surplus on the past year, 2,749,0001., the de-
ficiency of last year, being deducted, the net surplus
available was 1,400,0001. So far for the year
,lust ended.
Having stated the results of the last, and his anticipations of
the present year, Mr. Goulburn considered the reductions of
duties which he would recommend. As the experiment of
the Tariff had not been fairly tried, and as the surplus could
not be regarded as a permanentrone, he left the question of
the property-tax for deliberation next year, when it must
come under the deliberation of Parliament. The present
surplus in hand he proposed to apply to the augmentation of
the balances of the Exchequer, so as to render the Govern-
ment more independent of the Bank, and to conduct their
business on a surer basis. This he thought better than a
present remission of taxation. At the conclusion of his
statement, Mr. Goulburn announced that it was his intention,
when moving the sugar duties, to propose, that from and
after November next the sugar produced in foreign countries,
which did not raise the produce by means of slave labour,
should be admitted into this country at a differential duty of
10s.; that is, at a duty of 345. per cent., our colonial sugar
paying a duty of 245. Our treaty with the Brazils, by
which they were placed on the same footing as the most
favoured nations, expiring in November, is the reasocitart-hy
November was fixed on by Mr. Goulburn for this change.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer concluded his statemente
by congratulating himself and the country op the
thealtered
aspect which our finances presented this year trompre-
ceding ones.
HERALD.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer made last
night his financial statement, and highly gratifying to the
country that statement must be; although, no doubt, the
agreeable communication is not enhanced by the pleasure of
surprise. The losses and diQiculties to which the country
was exposed during the later years of the Whig Administra-
tion, made us all jealous observers of our financial condition,
and most are, in consequence, as well apprised of the actual
state of the revenue as the Chancellor of the Exchequer him-
self. As far, therefore, as the financial and commercial pros-
perity of the country is concerned, Mr. Goulburn could tell
little last night which claimed attention by its novelty. The
net revenue of last year amounted, he said, to upwards of
52,800,000/. (we omit the lesser figures), exceeding- his esti-
mate pf 50,100,000/. by 2,700,0001., and exceeding the ex-
penditure o 1 the country by, as we understood the reportof
the Right Hon.; Gentleman's speech, 4,100,0001., and thus
enabling him to, make good at once the whole deficiency of
the preceding year, 2,700,0001., with a handsome surplus of
1,400,000/. still remaining. The great excess of the revenue be-
yond his estimate the Right Hon. Gentleman accounted for by
the unexpected productiveness of many taxer—core,
800,000/. ; wine, 350,0001. ; foreign wool, 200,0001. ;
tea, 300,000/. ; sugar, 200,0001., &c. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer next explained his purpose and
his expectations for the present year—rating the public ex-
penditure of the country at 48,600,0001., the probable income
at about 51,800,0001., which• leaves a balance of more than
three millions sterling in appearance, 2,400,000/. in fact.
This is, we believe, a pretty fair outline of Mr. Goulburn's
financial statement, and it is gratifying on both sides; gra-
tifying, first, in .the proof it affords that the Government is
happily in a condition to exercise a choice in dealingwith
the finances of the country—gratifying next, in the assurance
that we have escaped from that most ruinous of all systems,"
whether to an individual or to nations, the " hand to malt
system ,• and that her Majesty's Ministers have fairly resolved
to think a little of the future—a degree of providence of
which their predecessors for many years have certainly set
them no example. From the slight sketch that we have
offered, it will be seen that the
_present istpeperity is made the

None are genuine without Mechi's name, which they dare not use;
t. strange to say, many Perfumers, calling themselves respectable,
endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cost from 3d to sd. each in Shef.
field) on the Public as Mechi's Genuine Strop, although they possessno
sharpening properties whatever, but the very reverse. '1 he well-
Known Magic Paste is an invaluable auxiliary to Mcchi•s Strop—its
renovating properties are astonishing. Mechi's Razors stand pre.

ADVERTISER.—The Budget of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, so eagerly looked forward to for some time past,
was last night brought before the House. Though it will,
on several accounts, excite dissatisfaction, there are features
in it which merit commendation. The principle which per-
' vades it is good, but the application of that .priuciple is not
so judicious as it might have been. The Budget does
homage to the free-trade principle, and, so far, therefore, it is
satisfactory.. But it is to be regretted that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer should have contented himself with a few
peddling reductions of duty on articles which, with the ex-
ception of coffee, are not in general use. What benefit, we
should like to know, can the community derive from reduc-
ing the duty on flint-glass,
or on vinegar, or on currants ?
The better course would have been to apply the principle of
reduction to some one or more of those articles whiCh are
of general consumption. In referring to the reduction
which he proposes to make on the duty on marine assurances
—a reduction of four-fifths in some cases, and of more than
one-half in all cases—the Chancellor of the Exchequer
stated, that When Lord Althorp made a similar reduction, in
1834, he found that in two years afterwards, owing to the
great increase in the amount of business, the revenue derived
from this source was as great as before. And such is his
faith in the financial wisdom of the reduction which he him-
self proposes to make, that he fully expects that in two years
the amount of revenue for marine insurances will be as great
as it is at the existing high rate of duty. But the most de-
cid6d and most important recognition or free-trade principles,
is made in that part of the Bight Hon. Gentleman's speech
in which he entirely abolishes the duty on wool, and conse-
quently opens our ports to the admission of that article from
all parts of the world. Now, if the duty be thus imme.•
diately and totally repealed on wool, why not agree to the
immediate and total repeal of the duty on corn? The prin-
ciple which justifies the reduction in the former case requires
the reduction in the latter. In referring to this intended repeal
of the duty on wool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer thus
expressed himself:—" I have thought it better to remit
both the duty on export and import of weal, and to leave the
trade open. That duty produced last year, altogether, about
tb..7, sum of 100,0001., and we must take that amount as the
loss which will be sustained on that particular article by the
arrangement which I shall recommend to the House. But
I cannot but feel that, although we shall on the article itself
sustain a loss, yet we shall give an additional stimulus to the
industry of the community engaged in that branch bf our
manufactures likely to be benefited by this arrangement,
which I believe will more than compensate for the loss we
shall Sustain.' " This is exactly the ground which the-advo-
cates of free-trade have all along taken. The passage we
have quoted seems snore like an extract from a speech of Mr.
Cobden, in Covent-garden Theatre, than of a Tory Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons. All that is
wanted is, that the Right lion. Gentleman should be con-
sistent. .et him but follow out his own principles, and the
country- asks- no more. The Chancellor - the- Exchequer -
cannot long stop where he is; he must continue in his on-
ward course until he has fairly landed on the shores of Free-
trade.

THE THRONE OF SWEDEN.
The Hamburgh papers of the 26th instant, contain the
following communication, dated Munich, April 20 :
" Though it might have been pretty confidently expected
that the Prince of Wasa would take some steps, on occasion
of the change in Sweden by the death of the late King, to
assert his claims, yet the manner in which he has done this
excited here, at least, no little surprise. The news Of the
declaration (which, though not in words, yet in spirit, is
equivalent to a protest against the accession of King Oscar,
which the. Prince has addressed to the Courts of London,
Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and St: Petersburgh), arrived here at
the same time as Count Stedingk, who has brought to our
Court the official notification of the accession of the reigning
King and Queen of Sweden. Besides the unpleasant. feel-
ings which are connected with any claim of a pretender to a
throne, it may easily be conceived that considering the inti-
mate ties of relationship between - our Court and that of
Sweden, this affiiir is looked on in a more serious light than
elsewhere, and perhaps -than it really deserves, undet the
present state of the political world. It is affirmed that this
declaration of the Prince of Wasa is so drawn up that it
requires no reply 6otn the Courts to which it is addressed.
This declaration ofhis Royal Highness, so far as it is tanta-
mount to a protest against the exclusion of the house of
Wasa from the succession to the Swedish throne, is one of
the most interesting documents of the kind of our time, and
therefore deserves a public examination."

ATTORNEYS.—One hundred and thirty-six gentle-
men have given notice of their intention to apply, on the last
day of the present term, to be admitted to practise as attor-
neys in her Majtsty's Court of Queen's Bench. There are
also twenty-five notices of application for a renewal of certi-
ficates to practise, and five to be admitted by Judges' orders,
making a total of 166.
WINDSOR TROTTING MATC11.......011 Saturday last
Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, applied to R. Blunt, Esq., the
Mayor of Windsor, for summonses against William Mosely
and Henry Bond, for having wantonly and brutally ill-
treated their horses in the trotting-match, which took place
on the 22d instant, when one of the horses died. _

DOVER AND BOULOGNE.—A deputation from the
inhabitants of Dover, consisting of thellayor of Dover, Mr.
Latham, Mr. J. W. Ledger, and Mr. Birmingham, lately
waited upon the General Steam Navigation Coinpany, to
request the Directors of that Company to run a steam-bolt
between Dover and Boulogne. The Directors have complied
with the request, arid have appointed to run the Magician,
which is to be placed on the station on Saturday morning
next. This decision on the part of the General Steam Navi-
gation Company has been received with delight by the in-
habitants of Diver, the Magician being admirably adapted
for the service, and for beauty and speed perhaps unequalled
by any steam-packet of her class.
THE WATERMAN STEAM•BOAT (NO. 10.)—An un-
fortunate accident occurred to this gallant little craft when
off Hastings on Saturday afternoon. It appears that she
arrived at Dover from Ostend early in the morning of Satur-
day, and left that port about noon on a pleasure trip to
Hastings, having on board a party of the Directors of the
Company, Mr. Penn, the engineer, and several other gentle-
men. She arrived at Hastings about half-past two, and in
passing the town unfortunately too near in shore struck on a
dangerous reef off the Priory, known as the Castle Rocks,
which she passed over, and injured her bottom. It being
found that the water was flowing fast into her, she was put
about and run on the sand off the Parade, where she filled as
the tide flowed, and at high water the hull was covered. A
quantity of empty casks were flung round her during the
evening, by means of which she was got further in, and on
Sunday she was pumped out and had her leaks stopped.' She
has since floated off, and been removed opposite the Priory
stale for the purpose of undergoing repairs. The reef on
which the vessel struck is stated to be extremely dangerous
even to the most experienced pilots.
•Tun SHriirrs' FUND.—Yesterday the half-yearly
meeting of the supporters of this fund was held at the
London Coffee-house, Ludgate •hill, Mr. Sheriff Moon in the
chair. Mr. John Cooper, secretary, read the report, which,
after detailing the many schemes planned for ensnaring in
vice youthful prisoners al' both sexes discharged from gaol,
stated that the receipts for the years 1842 and 1843, in-
cluding a balance from 1841, amounted to 661/. 1 ls. 10d.
162/. 19s. was subscribed by the present Sheriffs and their
friends. Of this sum 1901. was distributed last year as fol-
lows :-541. amongst 181 prisoners discharged from Newgate ;
24/. 7s. 6d. amongst 69 discharged from Whitecross-street ;
and 121.95. 6d. amongst those discharged from the Corapter.
The sum of 500/. was funded. The report, in conclusion, stated
that the grand object of the fund was the establishment of an
asylum for the reception of women discharged from prison,
which would be ultimately erected. Upon the motion of
Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, seconded by Sir M. Montefiore,
the report was adopted. After very strong appeals by Mr.
Anderton, the Rev. Mr. Weeks, Alderman Johnson,
_and
other members, on behalf of the charity, it was resolved to
have a public dinner to defray the expenses of building an
asylum. Thanks were then voted to Alderman Johnson, the
treasurer, Mr. Cooper, the secretary, and the Chairs an.
LYCEUM THEATRE.—.LSSt night an extremely
lively piece, under the denomination of Polliamania, was pro-
duced at this theatre. Its chief humour consists in the plea-
sant satirical view taken of the prevailing fashions and follies
of the day. A young fortune-hunter, Adolphus Merton
(Mr. A. Wigan), pursues his inamorata, Laura Dorringen
(Miss Woolgar), to a sequestered village, and introducing
himself to her father, a matter-of-fact gentleman of the old
school, as a medical practitioner, engages to cure her of low
spirits by the application of a newly-discovered specific called
the " Polka." The old gentleman, though at first a little
startled at the slang phraseology of his visitor, at length con-
sents to entrust her to his treatment, and when the dance is
begun its fascination is such that all the household, including
the old-fashioned gentleman himself, are constrained to join
in it. In this part of the piece much amusement was afforded
by the comic actions of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley,
who performed
the parts of a male and female domestic in their awkward at-
tempts to imitate the graceful movements of Missnorrington
and her lover. The piece was highly successful.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF IDRIVING WITH MR.
BATTY'S STUD.—The Westminster-road, in the neighbour-
hood of Astley's Amphitheatre, was crowded this morning
by persons anxious to witness the extraordinary feat Willeh
Mr. Embury, a member of Mr. Batty's company, had 'under-
taken to perform, viz., to drive four-and-twenty in hand
through the crowded streets of the metropolis. At one o'clock
Mr. Embury left Mr. Batty's stables in a four-wheeled vehicle,
drawn by twelve pair of horses, the whole of which he had in
hand, and apparently completely under command. Mr: Batty
was on the box with him, and in the vehicle were the mem-
bers of the orchestra of the establishment. Mr. Emlinry
drove down the York-road in gallant style, at the rate of
about six. miles an hour, and proceeded on his journey amidst
the cheers of the multitude. He exhibited great cleverness
in turning the corners, and in the general management of his
team, and alt another, this may be considered the most extra-
ordinary feat in driving ever recorded.
