roaros, August by the arrival at
Ills port yesterday of the fast sailing ship
Triton, Capt. Bussey, 81 days from Ii
verpool, london papers to the 9th nit. and
liverpool to the 18th have been received.
Great Britcin.-Thc Chancellor of the
Exchequer opened the annual budget on
the LIST jug. II appears that the quarters
revenue, ending July 9Th, 1922, is less than
the revenue of the same quarter in 1891.
The Courier says" but we understand
that the actual produce of the different
branches of the Revenue in Great Britain
was in the quarter ended the 9TH july, 1921,
f1 1879, $3.50 and in the quarter ending 9th
July, 1922, Sl2,837 1913 being a difference
Of only f5,097, and that this difference,
small as it is, would have been doubly COM
pensatedif the hopplanters had not, by the
orders of the Treasury, been allowed a
postponement of the payment of the hop
duty, to the amount Of about 10000"
The Assessed Taxes Are less than their
produce last year, by about cl38,o 900 which
is entirely owing to the repeal Of the Hus-
bandry Horse Tax, which would have pro-
duced considerably more than 100000 in
the present quarter but the increase ofthe
other branches of the revenue, (notwith-
standing the reduction OF the malt tax has
already affected the revenue arising from
that article to the extent of above EaeO,-
00O) has compensated for this reduction,
and has produced the very gratifying result
which we have the satisfaction to cunrlu-
nicate.
We cannot, however, forbcar to add,
that the income OF the Consolidated Fund
of the present Quarter, compared with its
charge, exhibits an improvement of GS4O,
600.
The deficiency in the Consolidated Fund
in the corresponding Quarter was $780,
900; the deficiency IN this is G987,o0e
The strange pretensionss Of the Emperor
of Russia, in relation to the territory on the
North West Coast OF America, had been
made the subject of some conversation in
Parliament. The condemnation of Bril-
fish ship in a Spanish Prize Court in Porto
Rico, had also been brought before Paria-
ment, by Sir James M'lntosh. The circum-
stances stated were, that this vessel was
bound from Buenos Ayres to some other
port of South America, & was seized s. CON

by Sir James M'Intosh, that according to
the principles of international law, no RICH,

trading with territories which it claimed
but Which we're no longer in its possession
vet the only way of preventing such pro-
ceedings was by instantly acknowledging

Maritime Pretensions If Russ:a. Jas.
hlntosh wished to ask ofthe Noble Mar
gus; opposite, these questions: ist. Had
ms MaJfst. 5 government received any anu
ihentic copy of the Ukase issued By the
emperor OF dussia, in which he claimed to
himself dominion over the north west coast
OF America, and the northeast coast of
Asiaf And, secondly, if they had whether
lhey had taken any measures TO protect
BRUSH navigation from such ex,ravagant
and preposterous pretensions?
The Marquis of Londonderry replied to
the questions, but in very low tone of
Foice.-Ne understood him to say, that he
had received a copy Of the ukase soon af-
ter il was issued As soon as his Majesty's
government had received il, they lost no
time before they sent a note 70 the Russian
Ambassador IN this country, declaring that
they could not accede either ~ the claim of
sovereignty or the principle of maritime
law laid down in it. Hear, hear.) At the
same time they offered TO enter into an
amleable negocation ON tine subject, TO
prevent any misunderstanding arising be-
t"esn''tre subjects of the two powers.

nots moving that the order Of the day be
read fer rhe House resolving itself into a
Committee of Supply Mr.. Bernal said,
that lac would take that opportunity of
asking the right hon. Secretary for Ireland,
what was the object OF the committee for
which the orders of the day informed him
he intended TO move, upon the distress
unfortunately now prevailing among 5oo,-
900 Of orr fellow subjects in Ireland Mr..
Gonlsurn replied, that the object Of the
committee was to enable the 80, eminent
TO afford immediate relief TO the suffering
y distressed ofpoor Ireland.--lie was hap
py TO say, that the result OF the measures
which the Government had already adop-
ted, had been of the most consollng and
satisfactory naturc.--The accounts which
he had that morning received from those
parts Of the country which were most
distressed, was more satisfactory than he
could have yentured to anticipate some
days ago, and led him to believe, that the
subscriptions Of the benevolent, aided by
the exertions Of Government, wogld carry
the people of Ireland through all their diff
liculties--if not without Suffering, at least
with less suffering than had originally been
expected. The right hon. Denis Browne
said, that he highly approved of the MICA
sures taken by his Majesty's Ministers to
relieve the distrcsses OF Ireland, through
the medium of labour and employment
Rational aud permanent relief could ouly
be given TO that country, or indeed TO any
other by this means, Present misery had
been relieved by this generous country.
No worse stamp could be put on the ma
tional character than enabling population
to live without labour. It's one of the ano-
maiies of the present state of ireland. while
the people are starving, exports olproslson
is made from that country. This is so
strong feature in the case, that it might
appear primn tacie, that this distress was
exaggerated but though provisions, such
IS meat, meal, sc. was as cheap almost as
he remembers il to be at this time of the
year, yet were the distress and misery real,
and the cause of it well known to oil those
who know ireland. There is nc money,
no circulating medium, in the corlIiry; he

country could not 80 ON. hlr. V. Fitzgcr
ild expressed his regret and surprise that
the hon. member (Mr. b. should throw
out so uniustifabio an insinuaton as the
accounts of the distress OF Ireland were
exaggerated; Oh the CONTRARY, the condition
of the people was, even in the ncishbor-
hood of the hon members residence, most
frightful to contemplate. The truest ac-
counts were affecting enough TO make the
heart sick. 0lcar, hcar.) He then des-
