!" British Eoquence,'' we find the following piquant
anecdote, illustrative of the ascendency of Lord
Chatham over the Earl of Newcastle. The Earl was
vaetudinaran, and fearful of taking cold,
especially, that he often ordered the windows of the
House of Lords be shut in the hottest weather,
while the rest of the peers were suffering for the
want of breath. Or occasion he called on Pitt,
who confined by the govt Newcastle, on be-

dismay, without fire, in a cold wnry afternoon. He
begged to have kindled, but Pitt refused it

REDUCTION THE EXPENDITURES. Most of our

the Secretary OF the Treasury has heretofore assumed
authority to employ what called secret nspec-

This form of expenditure, hidden, as ii is, from
the public eye, is of all others the liable to

the names of the men employed upon such service.

extremely doubtful, because single discovery of
importance would he likely at to unmask the
inspector; and thus, in order to the money he
receives, the agent must necessarily do acts which,
of themselves by revealing his agency, tend to dsa-
BILE him for any further useful service.
But of the policy of these appointments, or even
OF the kind OF persons employed it is not our pres
ent purpose to speak. Upon these points we NAV
have something to say hereafter. Our object now is
only to state that this mode of taking money from

ITALY AND HUNGARY. The accounts from the
above countries sckning beyond description. The
seoueslraion of the of the refugees, including
those of the noble families and without the slightest
distinction thei being connected with any plots
or otherwise, has produced an extraordinary effect,
while the daily executions and fortunes inflicted by
the military tribunals appear TO surpass in a;roclty
those that were common during the height OF the
revolutionary war; The hangings at Milan have been
followed by others at Maniua, and among the recent
sentences one is quoted of young woman, of twen-
ty.two wears of age, condemned to receive twenty
five stripes with rods for insulting expressions to-
ward the military authorities. Another is that OF

Making use of " subversive expressions, singing
subversive SONGS" resorting TO antl.polcal
demonstrations" appear as the most common crimes
for which these punishments are inflicted. Tojudge,
moreover of their real nature, must be remembered
that the Austrian punishment OF the stick is among
the most frightful that can be sustained.
simultaneously with this condition OF affairs In
Lombardy, equal tragedies are being performed In
Hungary. Besides the hanging at Pesth of four per-
sons for high treason, among whom was former tu-

exported. Does the editor of the Journal think
the man would be ruined by the process7 Per-
haps he might, but the merchant who found him
self the victim of such transaction, would be
the last man to regret it.
This matter has been explained thousand
times, but still we have the same out-cry period
icuIly about the balance of trade against us; and
the editor who scribbles such stuff thinks he is
writing as a man of sense.
We assure the aditor Of the Journal that he
has more reason again to be alarmed at this bal
ance of trade, the excess of imports over exports
than he isaware Of. If he will sum up our inn
ports for thirty years, he viii find the balance,
to his way of reckoning an enormous sum
against US, perhaps not much short of five hun
dred millions. According to the editor Of the
Journal we are in debt this startling amount,

The following interesting items are extracting
from the Paris letters in the newspapers;
The coronation of Louis Napoleon will cost
much more than that of Napoleon the Great,
and, consequently, than any public ceremony
that France ever paid for. That of Napoleon
cost somewhat over two millions. The marriage
will cost as much more probably; and the birth
of an heir, if there is any, will doubtless be
afe the occasion of similar expenditures. The

wen Answered..

The Louisville Democrat thus happi-
PLY answers the old cant of the wings
as to the "balance of trade" being
against this country:
The editor of the Journal evidently thinks
that when the table of exports and imports show
an excess of the latter, we are necessarily in
debt to the amount of the differences. Our ex-
ports are valued in our own ports before they
start to q foreign market, exports are valued at
the invoice price in the foreign port where they
are purchased. The enhanced price of cargo
in foreign market don't appear in these tables.
Of course the trader expects return on his car
go, greater than the value of his goods at home
at the time Of making the export. He expects
a profit in return, or he wouldn't send his goods
to foreign port.
If the editor viii look at the English tables OF
imports and experts, he viii find the balance
against her too. She is plunging into debt in
like manner, and the protectionists there feel We
