The English Btsdget.-The speech Of Lord Al
thorp, in the House Of Commons, is an interest
ing document Ii furnishes detailed account of
the financial condition Of Great Britain, sketch
Of the progress Of the Ministry in the reduction
Of taxation and reform in the public expenditures,
and their scheme Of future improvements in these
particulars. We cannot publish the whole speech,
but give such abstract Of its principal
points as will be sufficient to enable our readers
10 understand the progress Of economy under the
reform ministry, and the extent TO which they
propose carrying retrenchment andreducing taxa
uon.
The total number Of places abolished by the adj
mnistration is ,3S7-of which the salaries were
c23l ,409, (about million ofdollars per annum
Ia their places, retiring allowances of E35, 900
have been substituted, making nett saving of
fl92, 900. Three of the places were parliamrn-
tary sinecures, enjoying salaries to thu amount
Of e2l ,394.
TIE Diplomatic expenses have been reduced
f9l, 1875 per annum; .e34 900 by Lord Aberdeen,
and EST 900 by Lord Pallnerston.
Five hundred and six p ersons have been brought
from the retired list, in the revenue department,
and put on active srvce--making in that instance
saving of G2S 900 in the retiring pensions.
Lord Althorp pl dg.s the Ministry to avigilant
pro- cutJon of these plans, in the adjustment Of
places, the reduction Of expenses, and the dimi-
nut GA of retiring allowances.
II next states the income aud expenditure of
tn last and preceding ars. His order is rather
confused. We hav. had some trouble TO max
cut the following tables, which will, we trust, b.
arc .piable to our readers. The financial year

For the Aiexandr1a GaZete
On the Death of JOHN RASDoLPH. Of Roanoke.
He, he is gone! he of the gifted mind
Aud noble soul! whose genius, like the sun,
Cast forth its beams far and uncon6ned;
In native splendor to its starry zone
Arose; with soaring wing swept towering high,
In grandeur ranged the intellectual sky.
He, he is gone!
He. he is gone. he Of the mighty mind!
When greatness falls maturely IN the tomb,
Drawn from the love and circle Of mankind,
Kindred lament and friendship mourn It's
doom;
When genius dies. lis deed recalling name
Lives long and lasting on the breath OF fame.
He, he is gone!
The learned, the brave. the great is now no
more!
Whose lofty powers were with knowledge
fraught,
Whose vast and deep imagination bore
Hin far exulting thro' the waste OF thought.
But now. his spirits sped beyond. afar,
The wing Of thought, or light Of moon or star.
He, he is gone!
Il was his lot to die-lamented ONE
When summer spread its bloom and fruitage
rife
Around the spring like scenes when first he
The golden laurels Of his early life.
His genial spirit fondly, justly doom'd
To pass from earth when first its genius
bloOmd.
He, be ia gone!
he, he is gone! the strong, the great in soul !!
Who spake in power aud Weld the wizard
pea.
His statesman's name his nation will enrol
Upon the lists Of names Of mighty men.
Cal'd from that realm in which he wreath'd
his wreath,
He slumbers now within the folds Of DEATH
He, he is gone!
He, he ~ gone! he Of noble worth approval!
Let Taste with Truth alike weep round his
shade!
His Country mourns him-her he foDdly !ov'd.

His glowing thoughts, mis- oratofic name
Ensrav'd in beauty on bis nations page,
Will trace their charms 10 each successive age.
He's summon'd to his home!
IT'S true! he's gone! il is a mortal's lot:
Mans little bark Of life's at random toss'd
Upon the wave, oft seem'd, as il forgot
BY Hin Divine; but his has lightly cross'd
Times bounding swell and gently pass'd away
As brilliant sun from OF aiIded day.
His spirits now in bliss!
Yes. he is gone. Yirginia's noble son
Lies low and cold within her bosom now.
A sun hath set! his ample course is run,
His voice is hush'd, his patriot trump is low.
And GATHERED to his Fathers home above,
Where angels ever sing redeeming love,
