The Annual Reyort of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer. On April 18, 1969, The Chancei'or of the Bxcheq Mr. Robert Lowe, has fairly auecoeded in astonishing bis coun. trymen. On Thursday night the 8th inet., he placed before the House of Commons his maiden budget, and, aocording to the London press, he achieved a triumph equatied only by that won by the famous Wapanese jugglers on their first sppeara: ot the New York Academy of Music. With Femarkable unayimity the Gaily journals liken Mls usuaily dey Gad walnteresting piggg pf minis NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1869.-QUADRUPLE SHEET. terial business to a theatrical performance, and pro- gounce Mr, Lowe the most successful sensational dramatist of the day, not excluding Boucicault on this side of the Atlantic, or George Augustin Daly on the other side. According to the Times “the budget of this year contamed all the elements of dramatic surprise,’ and the happy Chancellor of the Exche- quer “excited a sensation which practised play- wrights might envy.” He “led his hearers through a Lenten season of penitence, and then burst upon them in a sort of Easter festival of abundance.” The Telegraph declares that in emulation of the conjurer ; the fair, Mr, Lowe has overcome the prover- bial aimeulty of making a sik purse out of asow’sear, “Like the cleverest magician that ever delighted an audience of holiday gazers,’’ says that paper, “he has produced, apparently out of nothing, a multitude of delicious boons and dispensed them in adazzling shower among the taxpayers of this tax-ridden country. We knew we had fallen behind in our fuances and we were painfully apprehensive ‘nat even worse things were in store for us; when, presto | with a graceful dexterity that should forever place him high m rank among political wizards, the Chancellor of the Exchequer dispels the darkness with a wave of his waud and opens a Fortunatus’ purse of gifts such as in our wildest visions we had scarcely dared to anticipate for years to come.” The Standard regards Mr. Lowe Bs a financial wizard; another journal has as much reverence for his spectacles as a child has for a harlequin’s baton, and another lauds him for the scenic skill with which he availed himse:f of a dark and sombre back- ground of deficit and taxation out of which a bril- liant effect of sunshine was to spring with a sudden and dazzling illumination, ‘‘as Turner used his fa- mous red wafer as the centre and focus of a mystery of parting clouds and radiant distances of light, suf- fused with all the colors of the rainbow.’ All agree iu comparing the Chancellor's Thursday night’s per- formance to one of those transformation scenes in which the lovers of pantomimes and modern spec- tacuar plays so much deiight, and not without some show of reason. But, alas! we all know that the brilliancy of a transformation scene lives but a few brief moments and leaves the house darker and gioomier than before, As soon as the blue and crim- son flames die out the dazzitng gems and gold be- come nothing but dull glass and tarnished unsel, and gods and goddesses, genli and fairies, however glorious their spangies, return into ordinary aud not very attractive mortals. Setitng aside the exuberant fancies of the London pars the plain English of the matter is that Mr. owe cauie “Into possession of a badly straitened treasury under circuinstances that rendered tt vitally necessary to do something which should seem like a reduction of the national expenditures and a lighten- ing of the burden of taxauon. ‘The liberal Ministry stood pledged before the country to economy and reform. ‘The immediate predecessor of Mr. Lowe, Mr. George Ward Hunt, had been unsortunate In his financial estimates and management. Poor Power, the Irish comedian, in his fainous character of Tim Moore, 10 the “Irish Lion,” used to square accounts wita the tailor to whom he was journeymao by going home to his dinner a quarter of an hour too early and coming back to wors & quarter of au hour too late, and Mr. Hunt, on a somewhat similar rinciple, had estimated his receipts haifa mil- jon too igh and his expenditures half a milion too low. By a sudden and violent cutt: down of expenses last year something been saved from the latter estimate, but with t addition of the Abyssinian item, wich had swolien beyond ali calculation, there was actually a deil- clency of $4,600,000 carried over into the current year and to be provided for by Mr. Hunt’s successor, Now, With no elasticity anywhere, with the produc- ing power of the counwy at alow ebb and without any apparent prospect ol greater activity, the situa- ton Was not a very encouraging one for the present Chanceilor of the Exchequer. stretch the estimates of revenue as he might, putas hopeful au aspect as possinie upon all sources of income, he could not bring himself to predict the receipt of more than £72,355,000 for the current year, retaining the taxes in precisely their present conul- tion. Against tais was to be set his estimates of normal expenditures for the current year, and in addition the deficiency left by Mr. Haut. The nor- mai expenditures, after reductions in the army and ud in some other branches of the pubilc ser- ir. Lowe puts at £68, ,000, aking a total, with the deficiency, of £72,524,000. It will thus be seen that if the estimates held good and no extraor- dinary expenses shouid be rendered necessary in the 3 interval, there would have been a bare surplus of £32,000 at the end of the cur- reut fiscal year. But, as has been said,” Mr. Lowe, as the financial officer of the reform Ministry, could not be suffered to leave the taxes in their present coudition, nor could he venture wo cut so close in his estimates as to rely only on a paitry excess of £42,000 of revenue over expenditure. He must in the first place bave more money, for nothing remained to be saved to Any amnountiu the expeuses of the government; and if he dared not leave taxa- tion in the condition in which he found it, far less coud he mMecrease eXxisti taxes or impose [fresh ones on tie community. There was but one over resvurce open to lum. he must get out of the tax- payers in @ singié year more than 4 single year’s taxation. Tue pian hit upon—and it is said that Mr. Glad- stone Was ics real author—ts at once simple and in- genious. Heretolore tne taxpayers of Engiand have im tho habit of paying one year the taxes ac- jacurred one wud two years previousiy—that Y, Some LaXes collected in a current year were assessed tae preceding year on articies used and en- joyed by tue taxpayer the year before, and other taXes collected this year, Such as income tax, were on returns of income, &¢., for tie preceding year. Tue taxes have also hituertu been collected in in- stulments; @ balf year in-October, a quarter of # year in Jangary and another in Apri. Mr. Lowe proposes to stop at this point the retrospective assessments, and to compel the taxpayers [rom January next vo pay in advance, and in one anoualsum. By this means he contrives to receive in a single year ive quarters of assessed taxes and seven quarters of income tax, which aada £5,00,00 to the revenue of the current financial year, and suddemy sweils the begyarly £52,000 surpius to the respectable sum of £3,352,000, With this amount Mr. Lowe proposes to redeem tue pledges of the administration in regard to @ reduction of taxation, He takes one penny of the income tax, leaving only hai the addition made in consequence of the Abyssinian war; he abolishes the one shiling a quarter linport duty on cora, wh remained as the last relic of the old corn laws; he ‘ikes off the duty heretofore assessed on all tre insurance policies; he erially decreases the absurdly heavy tax on lic conveyances, Or, as It is culled, the tax upon mouon; he declares that tea 1 cotiee lencetorti ve sold without a license; and, with a si. to Lue lavor of irowsy dow rs aud antiquated %, le brushes away tie duty upon hair-powder, i brings in to the govermment the maguill- sum of £1,000 @ year, Ha does more than lus AS @ real aud solid adminisirauve recorm, he strikes dowu the present absurd and expensive system of collecting assessed taxes aud iucome tax vy iocal boards aud places the whole business tn the hands of the oificers of excise. As- sessed taxes, such a8 for horses, servants, carriages, armorial bearings, &c., are to be equalized and paid jor she suture in the shape of licenses, taken out at the beginning of the year in advance. The income , as has heen said, is to be paid in one sum in the ining of the year in advance. This is the whoie of the great transformation seene—the piece of : remain,” as the tory Standard calls tt— ‘rd-iike performance, to which Mr. Lowe | the House of Commons and the couatry, and we have “orought down the Louse? ved With thuuders of applause all over it8 sabstantial morita, how much of itnere is in it aad how much of gtuger- ding aud theatrical tinge, 18 @ quesuon that caller be discussed.

Hesides this, will not Mr. Lowe's new scheme leave ihe government in a dan: crampe: ton? Heretofore, the taxes collected in @ current year have been on property enjoyed an asacaged the year before, Mr. Lowe regards this as an evil; bat it has at least made the government forehanded, While one tax was being collected another was bemg earned, as tt were, and was ae ne due Thus the government as Ways lia! arrears ond assessments to fail back uw a in case of deficiency or emergency. When the tax for a current year is collected in advance there is an end of it, You can never teil what the next year will bring forth, for in a time of commercial dinicaity, and especi. Wien a whole year's taxes must be paid in advance, a taxpayer would be certain at the commencement ot the year to cut olf all the expenses he could well dispense With, At present the govern« ment can know something of what next year's col jeciions will be, because, being on assessments made the present year, they can judge of the condition of business and the style in which people are living; but under the new pay-in-advance system all this foreknowledge must be lost. Mr. Lowe arraigns the present system of taxation because, he says, & per- son who has enjoyed the use of articles which are subject to taxation may die or become bankrupt be- fore the time for the coilection of the tax comes round, and thus the pr eee tant joses the amonut and becomes aggrieved, But when the prepayment system 1s adopted, Wf @ taxpayer dies immedately after he has paid his taxes in advance for a year, whom then does the hardship fail? Again, Mr. regards the existing aystem as open to serious objecuon on accoun of the facilities it overs for the commission of frands against the government, For instance; a citizen last year sub. returns thia year the articles he kept Ject lo taxation and pays next year, and hence, from fee lapse of time, itis almost impossible, says Mr. Jowe, to convict him should he inake @ false revurn, vs ler Mr. Lowe’s plan a tsou pays at the com- ayucomens Of the year, iy advance, oa ali taxable articles then in hts ion.

We do not say that in any case it should be our business to in- terfere for the prevention of OUuban independ- ence; but our good oifices might at any time be uselal in averting @ quarrel between Spain and the United States.

On another recent occasion an Ameri- can ship was selzed on the coast, and the pas- sengers—men of all nationalities—were treated as if they -were Cuban rebels ; @ gross outrage, a viola- tion of the commonest international courtesy and the first principles of public law. Beyond this, in its futile attempt at blockade, the Cuban government has issued a list of trivial articles declared ‘‘contra- band of war,” with food among the number. We speak on early information which fulier reports may in some degree modify ; though we have no reason to doubt tae substantial correctness of what we have heard, in comparison wit! larger events the outrages to which we refer may appear smail, but they look as if the local authorities had lost their heads, before this time Spanish officials have brought their country into trouble by a blind and brutal inditference to other people's rights. What will be the end no one can easily say. It would be rash to predict anything like war because & strong squadron is despatched from New Yerk. It Must be remembered that Cuba is not the bonne douche for free America that it was for America ruled by the owners of slaves, When slave States Were admissible into the Union the accession of the magnificent island meant the admission of three or four new States casting in their lot with the South. Now, Cuba would be only an additional territorial embarrassment. Emancipa- tion would have to follow annexation; and no- body is quite certain that free Cuba might not have to pasa through a period of depression as serious as that which has afilicted emancipated Jamaica, No doubt the Americans might be willing to brave all these risks if they saw the splen- did pear ripe enough to drop into their mouths; but it 1g not ripe, and in the present tem; of their pol- iticians they are not inclined to snateh at it,.

Some complaints had been made by the driver about @ defect m the engine mentioned, when, as the engi- neer was proceeding to the spot to examine it, tho explosion occurred, venting its sound like a heavy iece of artillery. The shock was very great, and for some time all was consternation. As soon as the first shock was over the men were looked alter, when the headless trunk of one was found, a second with his head spe in two, and a third mutilated and dead. Many others were imjured, but not so severely as required any other than local surgical attenaance. Five men, however, were Hey up to the London Hospital. Mr. George Salt, the house surgeon, together with some of the medical staff, at once attended to the injured men, two of whom were found to be dead— one named James Paine; the name of the other was unknown. Thomas Brown, a laborer, is suiftering from fractured ribs and a lacerated head. John Styles, engine driver, presented a frightful spectacle. Bods was covered with blood irom lacerations received from tite pieces and fragments of the ex- pieces boiler [eccpeigtee his flesh, as aiso the cin- ers; he was besides terribly scalded, and yesterday morning had iost the sight of the leit eye. Jonn Jones was saifering from collapse and concussion. A most extraordinary circumstance in connection with the case is that the men who were close to the defective engine sutiered no injury, while those a short distance away were killed and injured as de- scribed. We learn that five men were Killed and several injured by this explosion. Forgery on the Bank of England. At the London Mansion House on Tuesday, the 20th ult., Isaac Chamberlain, aged sixty, a herbalist at Hertford, Caroline Judd, forty-four, and Anne Hutchinson, ifty eight, were brought before the Lord Mayor on a war! charged with forging and utier- ing @ certain share for £2,194 4s. 6d. in the three per cent consuls, standing in the name of Mary Ann Chandler in the books of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud the Governor and company. The prisoners had been arrested on the previous evening by detective sergeants Webb and Bull—Chamberlain and Judd at Hertford and Hutchinson at Bethnal Green, where she is employed as a pillbox maker.

Close of the Session of the Corps Logislatif— The Approaching Elections—Cunning Policy of the Emperor—Sentiments of the Army— Warlike Prospecte=The American Navy at the Tuileries—Festivities of the Chinese Embassy. Panis, April 16, 1869, The session of the Corps Législatif will be brought toaclose m ten days, at the rate business is now being carried on. The budget has been pretty gen- erally discussed, and everybody, including the op- Position, desires to get rid of the tedious matter, in order that ‘the adjournment may take place and the new elections called at the earliest ;moment. The opposition, a small, determined and zealous knotof able men, are wearied with the inter- minable and almost useless assaulta on the imperial policy, and desire to change their platform from the legislative hall, where the majority al- ways vote them down, to the popular hustings, where a fresh and more impressionable auditory may be found to give them aid and support. It is no longer proiitable or useful to discuss govern- Mental policy in Paris; the fates are against all change; but in the rural and provincial city popula- tions the vote against the present régime may be found more favorable to the advocates of a more liberal form of government. .The opposition is therefore anxious to bring the legislative proceed- ings to a close, in order that the elections for a new Legislative Corps may be ordered before the summer heats enervate the population not holding ofiice. The law prescribes an interval of at least three weeks between the dissolution of oife Legis- lature and the election of members to a new one. If nothing unforeseen occurs to prolong the pre- sent session it will probably adjourn in ten days, and the new clections will take place during the latter part of May. The opposition hope to increase their numerical strength in the new Legisiature, and are eager to get into the country to rouse the people in their behalf, Tho government, on the other hand, while it is ready to concede that the opposition ranks will recelve reinforcements in the next popular cam- paiga, is determined to keep them down as far as | Speen All sorts of sensationai measures will be adopted to induce the peopie to believe that an era of peace is really dawniny and that the burdens of eed administrations are to be removed. We already hear of a partial reduction of the army, aud we shall no doubt learn soon that, peace being se- cured, & large portion of the troops will be fur- loughed, iu order that they may return to their homes to aid in developing the material inter- esta of the country. The iroa hand of the govern- ment is to be clothed in velvet and the horizou will blaze all around with bright auguries of a happy ta- ture. Nothing will be wanting on the part or the ernment induce the people to vote e official candidates, and we ali Know too well how potent and how successful are governmental arguments to doubts the result of tne elec tion, The vast, overwhelming, obedient majority ‘Will again control the Legisiative Cone and the old struggle Will be continued, with an addition of only mere corporal’s yuard on the benches of the oppo- sition, The same faces will be again seen ou that side of the house, but Ollivier, Gerault aod one or two others, less prominent because Jess radical, will be drop; from the Paris delegation. Otherwise the opposition will remain ar te same, & brilliant group of the dest of France, agreed on only one point— 0 uen to the Emperor's goveroment.

At all events the Emperor will celebrate the centennial anniversary of his uncle’s birth in a way that wili touch France to its very centre and awaken those old dreams that the ‘country cherished in the days of the first Emperor. Ail the talk of peace of the Marquis de la Valette is the merest Morgan stories for the election, There is nothing materially changed to give any support to peace professions. The army 13 ag strong and as ready for the fray as it can ever be. Marshal Neil is continually boasting of the num- ber of Chassepots he has on hand, and we know that the Marine Department ts laboring zealously to prepare the navy for hard work, The peace of the empire and of Europe is therefore by no means as- sured. A fall campaign seems to be the design of the Emperor, and it wiil be made sharp and decisive. Commodore Pennock, late commander of the United States European squadron, leaves Paris to- day with his wife to return to the United States. On Monday last teecraatons, Inasaing that he was in Parts, sent him a spectal invitation to @ concert at the Tuileries that evening, She received the gal- lant Commodore in & most marked man- ner and conversed a long time with him on naval affairs, tm which she takes a great interest. She inquired about Admiral Farra- gut and the officers of the squadron, whom she met two years since in Cherbourg, when Commodore Pennock had the bonor of receiving her Majesty in the Frankiin and doing the honors of the squadron m the absence of Admiral Farragut. During the evening the Commodore,was specially presented to the Emperor, who conversed with him for some ume on Midtaie topics, ‘The Commodore's reception was exc ly flattering.

Burlingame gives his second and last grand ball on Wednesday next. The last was the ir of the fashionable season, and the demand for invita- ttons is something wonderful.

Frontier Tronubles—New Military Reguln- tions—Appearance of the Cattle Disense— Cretan Prisoners. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 10, 1869, Istated in my last that the misunderstanding ex- isting between Turkey and Persia regarding the vil- lages burned on the frontier at Kassghico is in a fair way of being settled, and, in fact, a commission of six persons has been appointed to go to the said place, investigate the matter and report on the damages done. The Ottoman government is on the point of introducing in the military organization of the country an important change which smacks of Ger- man importation, The Minister of War is drawing up a new military code of laws and regulations by which the European, or rather German, system of reserves Is to be introduced, doling away with the present system of Rediss. The Christian population of the empire will come under the action of this new law, and be no longer allowed to enjoy their immunity from conscription, As this cannot be done, however, without, to a certain extent, arm- ing the Christian population of the empire, it ia pro- posed, m ordér to avoid jealousies on the part of the Turks and possibly serious conflicts, to oblige the reserves to deposit their arms in depots in the barracks after every day’s exercise. Suflicient arms do not exist in the government depots to carry out this plan properly, and it has been decided, there- fore, to purchase the old arms known to exist in the United States. We hear that an American firm haa contracted for some two hundred thousand stand of arms, at ten shillings each, examined at Liverpool and deliverable there. These arms will, by degrees, be converted into breech- loaders. I coul@ wish to-day that the foregoing few lines were the only news of moment I had to communi- cate you, but I am sorry to say that we get acovunts from the Province of Kars which are most alarmun, for that neighborhood, and possibly for us also proper measures are not taken. It appears that the cattle plague has broken out there, and from the symptoms on the diseased animals, the rapidity gf the contagion and number of deaths it seems to be the same plague as latterly decimated the cattle in land. How it began or where it came from nobody seems to know as yet. ‘The trst deaths happened at a village called Ourren- Kaié, three hours disiant from towards the end of November, on the return or the herds from their pasturage on the hills, and since then the scourge has sp! with alarm: rapidity. If, in fact, Us murrain proves to be the Same as that which visited Great Britain, the Turkish gov- ernment will have the advan of being abie to avail and make use of the dearly bought experience of that country; but in calamities of this nature the will and energy of the inhabitants themscives must aid the action of the Je Meg cong in order to stay the lague; and in this I fear that the uneducated popu- fations of thoso districts will be found wanting. Istated in my last that the Cretan chief Hadjt Mihail is staying at the Minister of War’s bouse, on the Bosphorus, Some other iasurgent captains have been given less comfortable billets in the huiks, with sentences of from ten to fifteen years. They cannot compiain, however, as having oeen taken with arms in their hapds they would, under any less lenient haa have been ‘hung aiter very short notice. GREECE. A View of the Condition of the Country. The following is an extract from the Athans cor- respondence of the London Times:—The elections are to commence on the 28th of May, and the Cham- ber is to meet on the 17th of June. Extraordinary eiforts are required to restore security of life aud property, for brigandage continues as yet undi- minished, although several engagements have oc- curred with the troops, in which there have been many killed and wounded on both sides, A singa- larly bold act of brigandage was committed last week about a mile and a half from Ltvadeia, on the road to Atalanta. {The bands that infest Bwotia, and sometitnes visit Attica, forined an alliance and took up a position, where twenty-eight brigades remained unassailed for six hours. During that time they stopped and plundered peat 150 passengers, un- molested by the civil {and inilitary authorities at Livadela, The island of Ithaca has been visited by another band belonging ww the in Western Greece, who lave spread alarm in the Ionian Islands, where the inhabitants were accustomed to dwell in security under British pro- tection. Two men who were ly carried oif by the brigands at Megara have released on paving very large sums, considering théir condition ia life. Anagnostes Kasianes ransomed his life for — dracimas, and Antonios Plataras for 2.33), in Mes- senia assassinations and murderous faction fights continue to be of frequent occurrence. Con: ts who have fled tothe mountains and criminals who are constantly escaping from prison in Greece are said to be the cause of insecurity over great part of the Peloponnesus. Every province ts calling on the overnment to send ti ps to maintain order, for he National Guard is either to disorganized or split into factions like the people: ‘ne Cretan refu- gees continue to depart in great numbers, and in one week more than 2,000 returned home in spite of the false reports that the Otoman aushorilies have ill treated the returned exiles, and that a new insur- rection had broken out in Qrete, by which political agitators endeayored to frighten them.
