It is only a smal! frame, of one room, carried down tothe beach for the accommodation of bathers to dress and undress in, and which, mounted up ona large wagon, looks higher and loftier than it really is. Surf bathing, as it is called, because the lofiy waves, as you are in the water, come swelling towards you, and rising for a moment over your head, dash the foaming surf over your ly, is a very fine and healthy practice, much re- sorted to. Many have found beneficial effects re- sult to their health from the use of it. Opposite Newport, in Narragansett Bay, a short nde, only. in a Ferry boat, there are the remnants of the tribe of Indians to whose forefathers fo: anerly this cauntry belonged. They are a misera- ble a set Of people, none of them of pure blood, a mixed breed, more like the descendants of negroes. ‘They receive a smal! pension from the State, and not a year passes when the Legisla- ture sits in this place, but they send over Old Joe, their chief, a very aged man, to complain to the Governor of the Superintendant. I was present when Old Joe obtained an audience ot his Excel- lency, und presented the petition from his tribe. It was a few days before the Legislature adjourn- ed, which event took place last week, as I men- tioned in a former letter. Joe was dressed very decently, with an old, battered, broad-brimmed hat on his head, and sat on one of the lower steps of the portico, with spectacles on, stooping down and conning over the petition he had to present, with his back tothe crowd on the porch. he pes, tition he held in his hand was written ona half sheet of lootian.be r, dirty and rumpled, having perhaps an-wered the same purpose on tormer oc- casion. The reception and presentation took place on the portico of the Adantic House, beneath those six tall Ionian colamns of which { spoke in a former letter—not an ignoble place of reception— by any. means. Governor Anthony, a handsome young man, with a fine black shining, beard, such as Sulten Mahmond prided himself upon, sat smoking his segar close to one of the columns, against which his feet were raised high above the level of his head, and were firmly planted. Old Joe ‘was a great bore, and the adroit manner in which the Governor got rid of him was admirable. It was easy to see the Governor was a lawyer, and understood the strict and just requirements of pieating. After a while Joe stood up, furled his spectacles, and carefully deposited them in his pocket, and while muttering and talking to some who were lau hing and joking good naturedly with him, handed the dirty bit of paper to Gover- nor Anthony. The Governor, with some familiar kindly words to Joe, took the paper, and lifting the segar out of his mouth, read out till he came to the words, “your honor.” “Well, but Joe,” said the Governor, “that won’t do, you know; it ought to be your Excellency, and not t your honor.” Joe assented, made no reply. “Now, Joe,” said the Governor kindly, “take it back and alter it, and call on me at my room to-morrow morning.” Thus the Governor got rid of Joe, and of not a pleasant public scene at that moment with much tact and adroitness. It is from these Indians that our famous Tammany Society and ‘Tammany all derive their name.

She proves herself to be the fastest ship in the world. Captain Hovey, her commander, will sail her against any ship or sailing craft from New York or London, to the Banks of Newfoundland and back. For several days, she made upwards of 260 miles in twenty- four hours. in all winds or weather she was sure to out-sail any craftwe met. The passengers in the cabin presented the Captain with a purse oj fifty guineas, on his arrival at Portsmouth; while the steerage class gave hima kind letter, for the attendance and care bestowed upon them by him. He has several amusements, or games on board his ship, by which the h paamangeen can exercise them- selves, such as shuflle-board, &c. She is the favorite of beth linesof packets; and if Captain Morgan turns out her equal, in the new ship South- ampton, he will have done wonders. IT would here speak of the manner in which May Day is celebrated in this great metropolis, In the morning, hundreds of the lower order of inhabi- tants may be seen wending their way towards Laycock’s Milk Dairy, carrying with them quanti- ties of rum and sugar, mugs, &c., where they get a supply of milk, thus making what we Yankees would call punch, on which they live during the day, dancing during intervals around their May Queen. Laycock’s Dairy is the largest in London, Keeping sometimes as great a number as nine hun- dred and ninety-nine cows; but could never raise the one that would make it a thousand. They are kept in sheds, which are supplied with water from the New River Water Company. The cost of furnishing the pipes was £5,000. The cows are milked twice a day, by some fifty young women most of whom are trom Ireland. ‘The milk is sold to four or five venders, who go to his place for it, at Ishngton, Liverpool road. The cows are fed upon grains, procured from various breweries. Hyer’s fight with Sullivan created no excitement ere, and some of the out and outers in the fistic art say weight will tell, and that Sullivan was gyal overmatched. The prize ring is fast gong elow par here. The last match of any note here was between Bob Caunt—him who fought Sullivan— and Burton, who proved the victor in a short but severe fight. Caunt, previous to the fight, was con- sidered by the knowing ones, as having, as Sulli- van would say, a little of the washerwoman about him; but now he ranks number one among the game ones.

The Copdition and Policy of the Austrian Empire. pol fnemn the Londen Times, June 18.) he policy pursued towards Austria, by several ers of Europe, has undoubtedly aggravated triple difficulties which assail the Empire in Hungary, Italy, Germanic con- federation. But these embarrassments are the na- tural consequences of the torpid and improvident government which was overthrown by the revolu- ton; and they have been increased by the abortive efforts made, since that event, to extricate the em- pire from its most critical position. A series of disasters, which seem not yet exhausted, have baf- fled the most hopeful combinations, rendered ste- rile the most ennigene efforts, and destroyed or re- moved the men who might have grappled with the dangers of the State. tour and borg were murdered in the tamultuous insurrections at Vienna and Pesth, Windischgraty proved not to have mili- tary abilities, or practical experience, equal to the patriotism and firmness which he displayed else- where. Stadion, who had long been regarded by the liberal party in Austria, as the most eminent of the civil servants of the crown, sank into ill-health from the intense. anxiet attending the execution of his great prajects, and from despondency at the as- cendancy which views opposed to his own had ob- tained in the cabinet of Olmutz. Welden, who enjoyed the highest military reputation in the army, was inadequately supported at Vienna whilst he held the command in Hungary, and has now re- tired from that position under Circumstances equal- Ms unfortunate. With the exception of old Mar- shal Radetsky and the gallant army of Italy, we have seen troops, generals, statesmen, and re- sources melt away, until the destinies of the empire are exclusively abandoned to men who have already given more proofs of presumption and incapacity than of wisdom and, power. Prince Schwartzenberg has shown. spirit and boldness in dealing with the hostile claims made against his sovereign ; but his pride has not deterred him from placing the empire in a most dangerous and humiliating position towards Russia, whilst he has been induced to confer the most »mportant office of the State, at this moment—that of War Minister —upon Count Gyulay, who displayed signal inca- pacity as Governor of Trieste, and has no recom- mendation but that of a near connexion wyh the Prime Miuister. | lad the Austrian government offered and pro- mulgated terms to the people of Hungary, based on the recognition of the real constitutional rights of that kingdom, which have been established for ages, there is strong reason to believe that a last- ing peace might have been concluded. But the Hungarians are both able and resolved to defend those ancient rights,and no moment could have been worse chosen than the past year to dispute them, when, both in Italy and Germany, the support ot Hungary is of vital impertance to the House of Austria. If the cabinet of Olmutz seriously enter- tained the design of availing itself of this crisis to execute the schemes of the Emperor Joseph IL, and to convert the kingdom of Hungary mto an hereditary province, the difficulties it has already encountered ought to furnish a sufficient lesson ; and a legal acknowledgement of the positive ob- igations of the Hungarian constitution is no ex- travagant price to pay for the services and the loyalty of twelve millions of subjects. There 1s reason to believe that a concession of this nature would even now disarm the more Wemocratic party inthekingdom. | he policy of violence towards Hungary has proved in all respects a dangerous policy; but the necessity it has involved of applying for Russian assistance stamps it with a more fatal character. Iteam never have been supposed that the Emperor Nicholas was to be summoned to the field in the character of a mere auxiliary. The immense mag- nitude of the forces he has put in motion, and the position claimed by the Russian generals in: the scheme of the campaign, clearly indicate that from the moment at which the Russian operations com- mence, they will absorb the whole interest of the war. ‘The reports which have already been circu- lated, of the advance ef Russian divisions into Hungary are exceedingly incorrect; properly speaking, the campaign has not yet opened, and great doubt prevails as to the intentions of the Rus- sian Emperor. The delay which has already oc- curred, will materially increase the difficulties of the campaign, in the hottest and most inconvenient months of the year; and since the struggle will as- sume the character of a foreign war with a detest- ed enemy, we are by no means convinced that the result will be as speedy as has been anticipated at Warsaw, or as satisfactory as has been anticipated at Vienna. . . Meanwhile, although the debility of Austria has thus reduced her to open the inner frame-work of the empire to foreign armies, her own military operations in other parts of Europe have been inor- dinately extended. The impenal forees in Italy have occupied Florence, taking Bologna, and laid siege to Ancona, in their anxiety to share with the French republic in the suppression of Italian insur- rections; and Marshal Radetzky reigns in Milan in semi-independence of the ordinary ministers of the crown. In Germany the policy of Austria is less active, but not less Tesolute. ‘She has her troops in the Vorarlberg and in the garrison of Mavence; she supports Bavaria in her repugnance to join the Prussian Sondeibund; and she awaits the course of events without apparently the smallest inten- tion of waving the rights she has so long enjoyed in the Ger ic body. ERE To sust e military and political influence of a state over so vast an extent of territory—not con- fined even by the frontiers of Austria, but reaching from Wallachia to the Khine, and descending be- yond the Appenines to the south—would app demand pr se boundless resources, or alliance with the other countries eng: transactions. But it ig notorious that resources of Austria are reduced to a low ebb, and that hea. resources in men are seriously curtailed by the Hungarian war, which not only stops the reinforcements ordinarily derived from that war- like people, but demands other troops to oppose the Mogyar combatants. In Italy the arrangement with France is one which an accident on the thea- tre of war, or a change of rule in Pa any time convert into direct hostility, a clusion of a definitive peace with Sardinia is as re- mote asever. In Germany the policy of Austria evidently requires the firm adherence of the Court of Munich, to which that of Wurtemberg may, pethaps, be added; but all these circumstances tend to render the cabinet of Vienna more depen- dent on Russia, and to give Ruesia a decisive in- fluence, through the court of Vienna, upon the principal questions now agitated in urope. That 18 a result deeply to be deplored, not only for the welfare and dignity of Austria, but for the tranquillity and progress of the continent. We have done justice to the firmness with which the Em- peror Nicholas has maintained his position — this general tempest, even in the most unsettle: portions of his own dominions, and we have ap- plauded the moderation he has more than once ex- ressed towards otker states more agitated than oo own empire; but, as the Russian armies, with their immense stores and materials of war, have gathered on the eastern frontier of Europe, it is impossible not to remark a more enthustastic and less guarded tone in the language attributed to the Autocrat. His acts, however, have not yet corres- | pended to this language. The postponement ef | the operations in provinces ®o contiguous to his | own territories has been thought to imply hesita- | tion; and certainly the disposition of the Austrian generals and troops towards their northern allics is not encouraging. The campaign unpopular in both armies, and it were well if circumstances were even now to which might prevent it.— While et Strasbourg we witnessed an améute, or as now called, a “ demonstration,” i. ¢., an at- tempt at a revolution by the Red Republicans, who have recently been so signally defeated in both Pari id Lyons.

Onthe other hand, the various in- d | surgents of Italy, Germany, and Hungary, have | less reason than ever to count on the active snp. | port of the revolutionary faction in France, which | has just been so signally defeated. | Austrian Cl | r m, we recorded the dis overament in ady —Madame t In our last public graceful conduct of the Austrian yermitting a noble Hungarian dvarnoky—to be enge J flogged at Pr ‘The perpetrators of this detestable outrage have, in tts very enormity, some chance of escaping the universal execration which they so richly deserve, for nota few persons (such, for example, have derived their notions of Austria from writings of Mrs. Troilope,) believe that the story is too bad to be true. The reader's attention ie, however, pointed to the significant fact that not one word of contradiction, or even of doubt, has been opposed to this statement, by any of those contemporaries who never appear to be laboring so much in their vocation as when deseanting upon the blessings which this paternal and apostolic government be- stows on its subjects. It is now our painful daty to call attention to a fresh act of atrocity eommit- ted by the Austrians. Baron 1 launs Medny- anevky belonged to an aristoc al Hungarian family, and was the son of the historian of that name. He served for five years in the Hungarian Noble Guard, (corresponding, in some degree, to her majesty’s Life Guards, but quitted the service previously to the commencement of the present war; when it broke out, although recently married, he at onee entered the ranks of the defenders of his country, In the month of December last, when the Ilungarian army was forced to retreat, Mednyansvky was “di- rector of fortifications,” in the small fortress of detadt, then closely besieged by the Aus triane. A couneil of war was held, in which the question of capitulation was debated. Medny- ansvky, being called upon for his opinion, thus expresced himselt: “As an engineer, | know that the fortress cannot hold out—as a soldier, I feel that, after having twice driven the enemy from the ‘breach, we thay surrender the Maths encnnet dishonor—but, as a Hungarian, I give my voice for defending it to the last man.” Notwithstanding this noble dec! n, Leopoldstadt capitulated ; ¢ courage which, from any other enemy, would have commanded admiration, has, by the Austrians, been rewarded with a gibbet. Med- nyanszky has been hanged. . This narration is “commended” to the atten- tion of Lord Aberdeen, in order that when that stateeman next pours forth the vials of his indigna- tion on the unfortunate Charles Albert, he may re- serve a mage drop for the government of Francis Joseph. But, perhaps, “Ce bon Aberdeen” will prefer waiting until that ill-advised monarch also 1s a wanderer and an exile. ** It is his custom of an afternoon.” Hitherto, the Hungarians have defended them- selves against their ferocious enemy in a manner that would have induced Burke, had he been still living, to revoke his celebrated exclamation, that the age of chivalry was ose. Military honors to the brave who have fallen, though enemies—a scrupulous regard for their property—a courteous and respectful escort for their wives and children-- such have been the actions of the Hungarian sol- diers ; no hanging #f Austrian officers for doing their duty, no flogging of Austrian ladies, no fire- raising, no destruction of ponte editiees from the pure spiritof mischief. The Hungarians have, on the one hand, done everything ta mitigate the hor- rors of war; the Austrians, on the other, every- thingsto aggravate them. But it is not impossible | that by these repeated acts of barbarity on th rt | of the enemy, the Hungarian generalsmay be for into taking terrible reprisals. There is a point at which the indignation of the exasperated soldiery can no longer be safely disregarded ; and to that point the Austrians have probably succeeded in ringing the Hungarian army. Surely it is time, hefore this war has assumed a character utterly disgraceful to the age in which we live, that the Western governments, if they value their charac- | ter for humanity, should interfere, by remon- | strances at least, to bring about an accommodation | between the contending parties. The Movements of ¢ Muscovites—Fhe | ungarians, | (From the London Chronicle, June 22.) } ‘The gradual advance of the Muscovite legions towards the scene of operations in Hungary is marked from the view of Western Europe by that | veil of Cimmerian obscurity which always attends the movements of Russia, and which now en- wraps, with impenetrable folds, the whole frontier of the Austrian empire. If the accounts which we receive of the plan of the campaign are correct, it is clear that much time must be consumed’ in bringing to the field the various corps destined to co-operate with each other at such remote points, and over s0 extensive an area, as well as in pro- viding the provisions and military stores indispen- sable for carrying the war into the inhospitable plains of Central Hungary. For a campaign on the Pusztas the blaze of the summer sun ts almost as unfavourable as the weeping skies and icy blasts of winter. Little reliance can be placed on the reports which reach us of the numbers and | present position of the belligerent parties. In nu- merical strength the combined forces will probably be inferior to the Magyar levies, but superior to them in effective strength. The Austrian army 1s amere wreck, commanded by an officer of no military reputation ; and the whole direction of the war must, of course, rest with the Russian general-in-chief, Prince Paskewitch. The ap- proaching struggle will not be so unequal as to abate the interest which the spectator feels in wit- ak a fair fight ; whilst the vast interests in- yolved, and the enormous masses of troops brought into the field on both sides, invest it with an im- portance which throws into the shade all the mili- lary contests of which Europe has been the theatre since the days of Napoleon. ‘The brilliant successes of the Hungarians have raised them up a host of friends, and inspired the tongue of many an advocate who was mute during their hour of adversity. The same pen which for- merly recommended the subjection of the fiery and intractable nation to imperial sway, has since dis- coursed gravely of sacred rights violated and im- prescriptible liberties wantonly assailed. This is natural enough ; there are few wars, after which the victor does not find his best justification in success. For ourselves, we pay willing homage to the gallantry and unconquerable resolution which have triumphantly withstood the vast mili- tary force concentrated last winter upon the Hun- garian capital, We admire the genius and perse- verance which organized in ose remote and boundless plains, the true home of the Magyar race, the numerous and well-appointed army which now presents a defiant and not unequal front to the legions ot the Czar. We acknowledge the strength and fervor of that national spirit, evoked, perhaps, by means which will not bear too close i v an exami- nation, which animates the Magyar race through- out the length and breadth of the land. We do not fora moment doubt that acts of vielence and inhumanity have been perpetrated on one side as well as on the other, or that the wholesale system of impressment which has swelled the ranks of the Magyars, has been paralleled by the exactions which have supplied the commissariat of the im- perialist army. President Kossuth, we are well aware, is not so black as he has been painted, alihouah his most familiar friends would be puzzled to recognize the features of the Hungarian Connell, as his admirers used to eall him, in the glowing portraiture of a wise and high ‘souled Petrie, by which he has of late been represented. jut our views of him and of his cause have not been changed by the unforeseen results of the contest which he had the largest share in origi- nating. We never blinked the real question at issue between Magyar and Imperialist, and we need not retract or qualify one syllable of what we wrote before an unexpected turn of Fortune's wheel brought it outinto a broader and clearer ten. ne eare told, asif it were a great discovery, that the Hungarians are only fighting for their ** ancient constitutional rights and liberties.” So they are, in the literal sense—or so at least they were, before their leaders threw off their allegiance to their youthful sovereign. But do our readers understand what these constitutional rights im- port, and what is the substance covered by these specious words, 80 cong | to the ear of the free-born gg ag who couples them spon- taneously with the idea of ‘civil and_ political liberty, a Magna Charta and a Bill of Righ ‘They import nothing less than the total separat and absolute independence of the realn of Hun- — separation riinous to the empire, which, jor ong centuries, has borne so conspicuous and sousefula part in the affairs of Europe dependence such os the Hu n nation has tically enjoyed sine hen’s crown rd on the brow of a scion of the house of Liver since the date of the fatal batile | Kingdom of Ilungary has been vir- | tually subject to th ent of the empire.

We are not at random. No candid Hungarian will deny that this is the true measure of their demands. Kossuth (to his honor be it said) never disguised it. Last year, for a short period, the expe- riment was tried ; and we all remember that one ot the first acts of the new goverament, of which he was a leading member, was to play into the hands of the pertidious invader of Lombardy, by recalling the lion arian troops serving in the army of Radetsky. ‘After this act of treacherous hos- tility every prospect of a harmonious union was a an end. | It was determined, at the risk of a strag- gle, the intensity of which it was then impossible to foresee, not indeed to reduce the kingdom of Hungary to a provinee, but to incorporate it, with- out doing violence to its municipal or political con- stitution, in the body ot united States out of which Count Stadion proposed to build his federal empire. | When the Croatians and Servians rose in arms prise Magyar domination—when the Saxons and | allachians of Transylvania appealed for aid to ienna—they met with open countenance and sup- port, and then commenced the contest which has since assumed the aspect of a national war. Boe that any Austrian statesman was ever mad enough to dream of treading in the steps ef Joseph . and extending to tlungary the administrative sys- tem of the empire, we believe to be about as true a) v \ as the returns in Prince Windischgratz's bulletins, or the equally veracious narrative lurnished by the Magyar correspondence of the Breslau Ga sesie. The turn which events have taken sioce the Megyar arwy for the first time crossed the Theiss has inevitably tended to freeze the sympathies of every Englishman towards the imperialist cause, and we are told that our hopes and few for the re« sult of the wer ought to undergo « eorrespouding chenge. It is impossible fo ul course, to sur. ¢ drama with the same feehngs, now that | for a mor would be to precipitate the decadence of Austria, and almost certain to kindle the flame of insurre¢- tion in the neighboring Polish provinces, we see the seeds of future wars and convulsiens which may indeed change, the face of astern Europe, but which are not likely to change it for the better. Should these anticipations be disappointed, nove will rejoice more than we. Should Hungary make good her claim to an admission into the eommon- wealth of nations, we shall be ready, in due time, to bid her a friendly and cordial welcome. Should she secure a chapter to herself in the future history of Europe, we sincerely hope that it may be neither a short nor a melancholy one. Three er Four of the Public Characters fa Paris. ODILLON BARROT, . True to his principles, and of disinterested pro- bity, M. Odillon Barrot might, with more energy of character, have formed a party to which the coun- try would have looked for guidance, and have car- ried to power ; but, wanting the reputation of a practical aptitude for affairs, the most that was ac- corded them was an inaetive esteem. There was enough of sentimental sympathy, but not encour. aging support. * * ° # lis conduct on the 22d of F nary is considered to have been defi- cient—fatally deficient in tact. He ought to have accepted the conditions offered by the government, namely—to allow the guests to go separately to the banquet, instead of foiraing a procession ealeulat- ed to cause a disturbance of the peace; and as soon as the guests were seated, a Conrmussairie de Police would protest. .gainst the meeting, and his procés-verhal be made the ground of a proceed: at law, for the sake of testing the legality of form banquets. Toa man whose mind was ine bued with constitutional ‘fove, himself a lawyer, such a proposition ought to have been peculiarly tempting. Dleading in a court of justice, there was aflorded to him the opportunity of achieving a moral victory, and, perhaps, of laying the founda- tion of a plan for working through the institutions for the correction of institutions, instead of by a peals to brute force. By refusing the offer made to him, M. Barrot did the great harm of allowing the mass of the people to fall into the error that the banquet had been forbidden, and that the govern ment had drawn the sword. His last act, wise as it was in conception, and noble as it was in its at- tempted execution, only served to compromise M. Barrot with the republic. He disappeared in. the tumultuous finale of the monarchy, a beaten, re- pudiated, humiliated man, whose name, inscribed nt on the list of the Provisional government, was disdainfully erased; and one of the most unpopular of men on the night of the 24th, was the powerful orator and patriot—the leader of the re- form party for eigh years. M. Odillon Barrot,as his name indicates, is of Irish descent. His features are unmistakably Hibernian,and of that order which proves that the native comparison to the once fa- vorite—for now it is, alas! but a treacherous—es- culent, was well justified by resemblances that could not escape an acute and witty people. But although the countenance be of ordinary Celtic, the forehead and fine bald head are of a highly in- tellectual order. The voice is in accordance with so noble a temple of legal and constitutional thought—it is of the chure! -organ, rather than of | the trumpet kind. The orator’s manner is some- | what ostentations, and his dress and walk are in- dicative of a meg, tinge of self-satisfaction. far not belying the Celne blood, either in_ its bernian or Galhe developement. Such is’M. Odil- | lon Barrot, an efleetive orator, yet inoperative leader; an honest man, but vacillating politician ; bold and noble in his movements, until the moment of action comes, and then lost. | FLOCON (IN THR MAY MINISTRY.) The leadershiy of the house devolved on M. | Flocon, for neither the fereign minister nor home | minister could answer the simplest question. And | who end what was Flocon ? Tis own des- cription of himself that “he had been a conspirator all his life.” He did not look a Pierce; he was a “bold-taced villain.’ Fancy a small, | bent, thiek-set figure—a white, swollen visage—a | dull, emoked eye; and yet this habitue of the es- taminet had, by his attendance in the stenogra er’s gallery of the Chamber of Deputies, and subsequent contributions to the Réforme journal, acquired sufficient use of speech and language to enwble him to shine, by comparison, with his col- leagues, although his shining was not brilliant. Flocon belonged: 7 sentuneat ead temperament, to the democrats of the Blane and Albert school; but he could not make up his mind to separate him- self from Ledra Kellin, who had appointed him editor of his journal, the Réforme. It was in the » they revered and eutecmed him; where. ere can be but one answer—* they did not the republic.” want The See. Badget. The Chancellor of the Exchequer proceeded to make his financial statement. After remarking upon the depression of the cotton trade, owing to the unsettled state of aflairs on the continent, he reminded the House that early in the session of 1843 he was compelled to propose an increase of taxa- tion to cover the expenditure, and he then stated hisexpectatton that in three ‘years the income of the country would equal its expenditure. He then estimated the income at £52, 00,000, and the actual proceeds had only been less by £62,000,— ‘The expenditure was £53,257,110, this exceeding the estimate ; but there was included in it the sums not anticipated for by Irish distress and the naval excess, amounting together to £713,727.— The expenditure exceeded the estimate by about £269,373, but if the naval excess and other extra- ordinary items were deducted, the current i would have exceeded the current expenditare ty £120,000. He estimated the total income of the country for the ar 1349-50 at £52,252,000, which he ant ated would be thos made up Justoms, £20,450,000 i £13,710,000; stamps, £6,750,000; taxes, £ income tax, £5,275,000; epee lands, £180,000; miscel old stores, £485, 0 a total receipt of £52,25 estimated the expenditure as follows:—Interest and management of funded and unfunded debts, £28,245,270; civil list, £2,781,580; grant for Irish distress, £50,000; navy, 724; army, £6,778,- O83; ordnance, £2,540,007; miscellaneous, £3,924- 277; refunding property, £53,107; excesses in the army, navy, and ordnance in IS{€-7-8, £642,632— ing a total expenditure of £52,157,696. De- ing, therefore, the total expenditure of 157,696 trom the receipts ef £52,252,000, there would remain a surplus over expenditure of £104,304; but if the excesses for the army, navy, and ordnance were taken away, the surplus income of the year would be £736,936. He congratalated the house upon this state of the affairs, and upon the expenditure of the country having been brought within its income within a shorter period than he nad anginal anticipated. There had been a decided improvement in trade; the stock of bullion had increased, and he felt’ fully assured, that, all things con: red, his anticipa- tions of mcome had not been over sanguine. Referring to the reduction in the expenditure, he begged to remird the House that the navy had been reduced 3000 men, the army 10,000, which he bought was as far as the government wasjus- tified in doing, considering the state of affairs in the world. The only increase which had been in the east was the artillery, and he thought that, considering our recent experience in India, the House would not be inclined to object to it. The reduction in the estimates this year had been for the navy £337,871 iscellaneous £21,500, making a total of £1,511,455. This showed that the go- vernment had not been unmindful of economy, and their desires would, in this respect, have been further shown by the consolidation of the stamp and taxes and excise departments, which amount- ed to £225,000 annually. It would be obvious to | the House that with so small an amount of surplus this year, he could not eonsent to meet the wishes of those gentlemen who proposed to decrease im- portant duties. Among these he included the tea ~ duties, and a revision of the stamp duties, which would involve a loss of £300,000. It was utterly impossible, therefore, that changes could be made until such a surplus was obtained as_ would justify the proposition ; and this was a subject he recom- mended to the attention of the House. Important frem Circassia—Triumph of the Circassians over the Russians, [From the London Standard of Freedom, June 23.) ittle has been said about the victories which these brave mountaineers are obtaining over the mercenary hordes of Russia. This is because the hired press of England either does not, or else will not, understand ihe importance of these victories, by a nation hardly knewn by name to their read- ers. This, however, oun not to be true, either of the Standard of Freedom ot of its friends, to whom we shall not further apologise for saying a few words as to this interesting people, and w they have achieved. Circassia is a mountainous, but very fine and beautiful country, bordering upon the Black Sea at its eastern extremity. It is also contiguous to the Russian territory, lying towards this extremi- office of this then obscure paper, that the conspi- rators met onthe night of the 23d February, and resolved upon striking a blow for the republic.

Te sought not to attract atten- tion to himneelf by epee ad he dreamed not of intraues. When, to his clear judgment, a bat- tle was impending, he prepared to meet it; when it came, he mounted hts horse and inspected the barricedes. Elevated te the head of the govern- ment, he applied himself to the study of foreign affairs, and having satisfied his mind that peace Was tor the interests of Krance, he determined that no earthly consideration should induce him to entangle the country in a war, so long as her hewour was not efleeted. Tuking the lead in every debate, he never a word more than was es sential for the purpese of making known th wa of government. Nor would he have spoken at all it he did not deem it to be his duty to accept frankly the burden that hed been placed on hie shoulders. When the red republic was refuted, he parted company with the red republicans; and when conservative principles were showa,to be thore of the parliament and of the country, he opened places 1m his cabinet to conservative mem- bere; and all this he did without the sacrifice of the great prineiple of republican government.

It is believed that, ta battle, sickness, fatigue, and altogether into account, not less than 200,000 Russian serfs have left their bones amongst the wild passes, and this without gaining any ground that is tenable. The Czar, in furtherance of this murderous conilict, tries to stop all access by sea to Circassia; and it was because he approached Soudjouk Kale (a Cireassian port), that Mr. Bell had his brig, the Vixen, captured and confiscated by Russia, against the law ations.
