New Yorr, April 4.—~The ZTridune has tha following: Varlous rum. bout tho financial condition of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany have been in circulstion on Wall street for severa) weeks. It has been well known that some of the Directors doubted eitber the wis- dom or the fidelity of the present management. Numerous mectings of the Board of Directors have been held during the past two montbs, at some of which tho discussions have been enlivened by charges of efforts of the officers to conceal the true condition of the Company and other mismanagement. About two woeks sgo the opposition, which has been headed by Henry Hart, Vice-President of the Third Aves nue Rallroad Company, succeeded In having & Committee appolnted to make a thorough In- vestigation of the mccounts of the Company and to make report to the Board at as carly a day as possible. Yesterday Hart {ssued a clreular to which be slgns his name as Director, and jo which be says e would ba pleased to hold personal confcrenca with, or ro- celve the proxiea of, all the stockholders of the Pucific Mail Bleamship Company who erce in favor of an economlcal and faithful administra- tion of the large business of this Company. The election for new Directors will tako place on, Wednes lay, May %0, Hart stated yesterday atfernoon that he bad not yet completed his ticket, but that he would have it ready in o fow days. What ho wanted was an honest and economical mauagement. 1o was a very large stockholder, aud he belleved with the proper management the Company conld be made to earn “a handsome dividend. The mana- gers should be men whose first interest was the Company's (oterest, men who had no private alins to serve In connection with their control of the Company. He did not be- llcye one-half of the members of the Board wers men of that sort, and therefore he thought a change should be made, 8ome of tho members had worked bard during the past winter to place the Company in n position to pay Iis way and earn a prolit for its stockholders, but they were o the minority. Another Director of the Company, who has not been recognized as ane of Hart’s followers, lmssold a lurgo portion of bis Pacific ence, 8ir Btafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, replied, firstly, that all Engfand wanted at the Congrees was the dlscuesion of every article of the treaty, and, sccondly, that Lord Derby's dipatch gave the reason for declining the preliminary confercuce. Uladstone thercupon gave notice that he would ralsc a discussion to-morrow Lecause of oir Btafford Northcote's unsatisfactory reply, THE DUDOET. The Chanccllor of the Excheauer presented the Budget In the Housec of Commons this af- ternoon. The ordinary cxpenditure is £31,020,- 000, and tbo cstimated revenne £79,146,000. EXPLANATION. Eir Slafford Northcote, in explaining the budget fn the House of Commons to-night, stated that the revenue for 1877-'78 bad been £70,763,208, and the cxpenditure £78,903,495. The surplus for last year was consequently A85%6803. Of the £6,000,000 vote £3,500,000 had been actually expended and some further 1la. bilities fncurred. The surplus was thus con- verted into a deflcit of £2,640,000. To meet this deficit and further lisbilitles the Govern- ment had applied £750,000 of the surplus reve- nue, and {ssucd excliequer bonds for £2,750,009, running for onc year only. ‘They thus commenced the year with a temporary debt of £2,750,000. The cstimated deficit fur 1673-'79 was £1,660,000. This does not io- clude any provision for the redemption of treas- ury bonds, or for further labllities, £500,000 of which had been {ncurrcd for the army and £200,000 for the pavy, which wottld have to be met by supplemeutary estimates. They further estimated the cxvense of calling out the re- scrves at £400,000, which stowed for their being under arms three months, ‘They cstimated the exvenes which would have to ho incurred for new dock-yards and extra labor at £400,000, thus raising the supplementary estimates to £1,000,000 or £1,600,000. All of these expenses confbined showed a total deflcit of £5,300,000 or £5,800,000, They proposed to meet during the present year the deflcic on the ordinary expenditure, the suppleincatary estimates, and some portlon of tho outstanding Treasury bonds. For this purpose they propused to increase tho income tax 3 pence on tlhe pound, which they estl- mated would produce £3,000,000, to incrcase tho tobacco duty 4 pence per pound, which they estimated would produce £760,000, and to in- crease the dog tax in & manner estimat- el to produce £100,000. But they proposed tomake somec allowance in the asscssment of tho fncome tax for devrectation fu the value of CANADA.

Tho military spirit in Canada, fostered aund encouraged by the mnaintenance of the Voluntcer force, is still pretty strong, and large numbers of young mcn would oo doubt come forward and offer them- selves for active rervice If England needed them,—the only deterrent being the probability of their belug shut up ju the bome-garrisons, while the Regulars recelved all the glory. The city press, in summiog up the conse- quences of an Anglo-Hussian war, comes to the conclusfon that Runsia's menacing attitude is only inviting her own destruction.

Lonpoy, April 4.—Unintelligible rumors re- cently current of a Cabinet crisis {v Bucharest are explalned by a letter from that city dated Avpril ‘1, telegraphed tero from Vienna. It seems that while the peoplo and Leglslature are unanimously opposed to Kussiz, there {s a strong suspiclon that Krince Charles and his Cabinet arc preparcd to consent to the cession of Bessarabla, and bad really agreed with Gen, Iguatief Iu this sense, but found the feeling In opposition so strong they feared a revolutlon it they procceded with the scheme. The pro- Russian party, contlioues the letter, ore, of couree, ant{-Austrian, and the clrcumstances must determine whether the Cabinet will carry out the will of the natlon or throw themsclyes nto tho arms of Russis. 'This explanation is partially contirmed by the fact that Bucharest telegraims are very undecided o tone.

The petition alleges that tho Grand Lodge 1a a corporation under tho laws of the Btate, that the petitioners were members of the subordinate Cosmos Lodge, and were cxpelled from membersbip without any cxcuse belng given for such expulsion, and that the expulsion was without any suthority or justi- flestion under the Charterof the Grand Lodge. ‘The return admita tho fncorporation, and that the petitioners were at one time members of Cusinos Lodge, but derfes that they were expelled from tho Order. It * miso sets up justification, and clalms that the charter of “Cosmos Lodgo was suspended for good cause by the Grand Master, and that th charter was afterwards restored to certaln members upon petition. Tho position claimed by the respondent is that ali voluntary, charitable, and benevolent organizations liave the exclusive rizht to regulate the discipling of thelr mcmbers, and the decisfon of the Court of Appeals is cited as a sime ilar caso egainst tho Merchants' Exchange, sustained by the Bupreme Court, to tho cffect that {n all voluntary organizations the civil courts will not Interfero or inquire into the regulations of such organizations i the discl- plibo of tnembors.
