LUG 4,%1 Lae x.xenequer nesigned to
•adhere to the principle telad announced, of making the
year's income meet its expenditure, .and if not, an he
intended to have reeourse to a loan, to what extent he
meant to do so.—The Cua.IVCELLOU of the ExcnEQuEit
-said that the expectations which he had held out in May
were fully realised. The national expenditure, up to the
of the present month,' had not exceeded the income.
There was an apparent decrease upon the last quarter,
but it did not represent the real condition of our finances,
because it omitted the return of the Irish revenue, and
ee theelongd to
laStereturn contained an item of credit which
,pbroPetise
rly the present quarter. As regarded
Exchequer-bonds, £4,000,000 had been negotiated, and
'3,000,000 had been actually received, whale power was
-still reserved to the government to issue from £6,000,000
to £7,000,000 more, and the amount of running Exche-
quer-bills was about sixteen millions and ,a-half. The
present excess of expenditure over revenue, as compared
I,ith last year, was about three millions and a-half, but he
anticipated that there would be in Octoberu balance of
.trout four millions and a-half, and with that amount in
hand he did not suppose •that' be should have to ask the
Bank of England for advances. He added a satisfactory
statement in regard to the savings banks; upon which, he
said, there had been a demand, to meet which precautions
had been taken ; but the run had ceased, and the amount
of withdrawals was now exrceededlly that of deposits.
ISereral bills were read a third time and passed, and the
Lords' amendments to other bills were agreed to.

was his to evacuate the Principalities, the Aus-

Ministers of England and France that his Government
was, nevertheless, ready to interchange notes, as previously
agreed upon, with a view to obtaining securities for future
peace. The English and French Ministers had stated the
general nature of the securities which would be required,
and- which were specified in the paper of the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs recently published in the
Moniteur. It would remain to he seen, he added, whether
the Austrian Government would put its armies in action
to obtain those securities by force, if they could not be
obtained by negotiation.

CORK, AUG. 12--The very large and ch
of potatoes has so checked the sale of brew
sellers of flour still force and offer reductions to induce a
business with unwilling buyers. Wheat is firmly held to
the late improvement, which checks the demand. A
speculative feeling has led to some offers for Indian corn,
but very little is doing.
