The English Budget.

LONDON, April 30.-Mr. Chlders in his
remarks on the budget in the House of
Commons, said that the expenditures of
the past year was e3, 100000 over the esti-
mate; the revenues from customs and eN-
else showed continual falling off on
spirits, a slight falling off in receipts from
the duty on wine, and a continual but
slow rise in other chief duties. The reye-
nue. from tea and tobacco duties showed
steady progress. indicating the satisfactory
progress OF the people. The opposition
bench received this statement with much
laughter The income tax produced II,
100000, exceeding the estimate by E150OOO.
The total receipts from taxation were
CID 10000; total revenue esS.Ol3UO;
total expenditures eS9,0J2, 900. The pres
ent government bad paid all the
war charges bequeathed IL by the late
government, including e5,000,000 given 10
the Indian government. Mr.. Childers
estimated that the outlay for lso5-s6,
not the vote of credit, would he t-s,-
-12,0OO, with an income tax of five pence
in the pound stearling, that the total
revenue would be es5, 1000 on six penny
teleyrams. The deficit Mr.. Childers esti
mated AT e313, 200, and adding the vote OF
credit together with reasonable allowances
for supplementary estimates. the total de
felt was estimated at eli $4,000.
Childers proposed various notifications
of the legacy, and succession and probable
duties. He also proposed the imposing of
new taxes upon property hitherto exempt,
and that the duty on foreign stocks made
PAYABLE TO bearer he raised to ten shillings
per cent That the duty on homemade
and foreign manufactured spirits be raised
by two shillings gallon, and the duty on
beer a shilling a barrel. The foregoing
additional taxation will produce f7,5O0,-
900. leaving a deficit OF e7,432, 900, which
il is proposed to get by taking "a, 100000
of the sum annually devoted TO the reduc-
tion of the national debt, leaving a balance
to be met by operation OF the sinking fund.
MIR. ChildeTs continued his exposition of
the budget by asking that its second read
ing be fixed for the l4th of May, so
as 10 enable the House TO gain time To
fully study the proposals OF the govern
ment.
The forecast of Childers of the deficit in
the budget TOR the ensuing financial year,
which is estimated at f14,y32, 900, has
created sensation. 1t is the largest de-
felt since the Crimean war. Childers said
il would require great demand upon the
patriotism of the people.
Foreign patent medicines will be charged
the same duty as those manufactured IN
England. but stamps for foreign medicine
will be 80 arranged rs 10 avoid any APP
pearance of difference between them and
the English.

ixomaroff's Reply.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 30.-The Official
Messenger to-day publishes telegram from
General Koaaroff, which is reply 10 the
dispatch OF Sir Peter Lumsden. Koma-
rolf admits that he had received an order
from the Russian Office previous to the
battle not to occupy Penideh, but he says
that the other officers on the frontier had
not yet been advised of the receipt of such
an order. Referring to the alleged adj
vance of the Russian troops previous TO
the fight, he says Only company of Tur-
comans had advanced toward Penjdeh, but
they had no intention of attacking the
Aighans, and withdrew when the latter
approached them in a hostile attitude.
Komaroff reiterates his former accusation
regarding the audacity and arrogance OF
the. Afghans; their daily drawing nearer
to the Russian camp; their occupation of
a commanding position on the left flank of
the camp, and other events which led up
to the battle.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 30.-The Official
Messenger publishes the following telegram
from Gen. Komaroff, dated from Askabad
on Friday last:
The telegram forbidding the occupation
of Penjdeh reached me on March 23d. /
only communicated il to the commanders
of the outposts and did not make il gen
orally known. Col. Facrzevski, with my
permission, was interviewed by CORES
pondent of some British officers in a private
cal acity. did not admit their right TO
treat officially. ] addressed my demands
direct to the commander of the Afghan
forces. Gen. Alikhanoff, with Sotnia Of
the Turcomans, rode in the direction OF
Morkals, along the river bank on the Rus
sian side. 1t was by no means my inten-
ton to advance on Penjdeh. To march
Sotnia in the rear of 1000 Afghans was
inconceivable. One company of Russians
marched on the heights of the right bank
of the Murghab river, but did not reach
our videttes on the left hank of the same
river. When the Afghans approached,
however, this one company, by my order,
returned to camp.
Gen. Komaroff thus concludes this dis
patch: In view of the constant move
ments over hundreds of versts Of territory,
and owing also to heavy floods, it is i'm
possible to furnish regular reports.

New YORK, April 29.-The steamer City
of Mexico was libelled and seized in this
port few days ago on complaint of the
first mate that she had been fitted out to
carry arms and wage war on behalf of the
rebels against the Columbian government.
The attorney for the owner of the vessel
has addressed voluminous protest against
the seizure to the Secretary of the Trasury,
in which he says: That the vessel in
carrying arms TO the rebels at Sayauillo
violated no international law that it was
in the regular curse of trade; that in
clearing from Savaniilo for Rio Hache with
rebel soldiers on board as passengers, the
captain did so by the advice and authority
of the American Consu: at the former
place, and if the rebel leader had got the
ship into trouble by waging war on the
high seas the owners would have had re-
course on the United States. He charges
the complainant as worthless fellow, and

proper diligence in searching for the facts

CHICAGO, April 30.-A special telegram
received this morning from the State veteT-
marian of Illinois, announces that pluro-
pneumonia has again broken out in herd
