The Chancellor's Budget—Fiuancial Exhibit of the Natio: Lonpon, Agril Lt, 1870. The House of Commons had a special sitting to- day, when Mr, Lowe, Chancellor of the Exchequer, submitted the annual budget. Mr. Lowe makes a most satiafactory exhibit of the Gnancial gondition of the government. | ieee shows that the total amount or seville FeOalved from all Sources during the last flacal year ending March 31, 1870, was 275,324,000, and excecded the imate made early in the year by £1,819,000. or the total receipts the customs pro- auced 4£21,529,000, against £21,650,000 estimated. Excise, £.%,763,000, against £20,900,000, estimated; stamps, £0,.248,000, against £8,850,000, cstimated; taxes, £4,600,000, the amount estimated, and income tax, £10,044,000, against £9,360,000 estimated, The new method of collecting taxes ylelded £1,134,000 more than was anticipated. ‘The total amount of th.* ¢xpenditures for the last fiscal year was £67,664,00.9, against an estimate of £68,408,000, The estimate for the paymens of in- terest on the debt fell £350,100 short of the amount required, The expenses of ti\p army and navy un- derran the estimates, The surplus realized last year was $7,870,000, of which $4,300,000 have been expended in the pay- ment of the debt resulting from the abyssinian ex- pedition, ‘The expenditares for the current fiscal year, end- ing March 31, 1871, are estumated by Mr. Lowe at £67,713,000, which he says falls 211,730,000 below the total amount of the grants for the past year. Mr. Lowe sald the budget proposed to abolish game licenses and impose a pound duty on firearms. This change is expected to result in doubling the revenue from this source, which amounted last year to £150,000. It 1 also proposed that savings bank stock be turned into terminable annuities. The mait tax is introduced, and beer is left tax free. Farmers are to be allowed to steep ther own barley. A decline in the revenue from sugar is noticed, aiso in the revenues on foreign jiquors and wines. The increase of revenue on tobacco is £121,000, and on tea £55,000, Mr. Lowe remarked that @ free break- fast was still impossible in view of the size of the debt. He was prepared to remit the tax on soap and paper makers, to equatize the duties on English and foreign bills, to abolisn newspaper stamps, and to reduce newspaper poat- age to haif a penny for six ounces. He suggests that the income tax be reduced to four pence, and sugar relieved of half the duty now imposed on It. ‘These, with some minor remissions in favor of the agricultural interest mainly, will make @ reduction in the surplus of £3,960,000. Mr. Lowe closed his Oxplanation of the budget, with @ motion that the duty on sugar be reduced one-half. Messrs. Baring and Crawford and others spoke briefly on the budget, takiug duferent views. Mr. White complained of the retention of any duty on sugar, Mr. G. W. Hunt, former Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, congratulated Mr. Lowe on the fact that he had followed him in a happy time and under auspicious circumstances when the Abyssinian war Was ended, and the expenditures for muitary and naval improvements were greatly reduced. Mr, Smith, member from Stockport, eulogized the efforts of America to reduce her debt, aud urged the imitation of her example. General debate followed, in whicn Messrs, Read and Fowler, Lord Bury and Mr. Bootu were the principal speakers. Mr. Lowe replied briefly, and the Budget was passed. After a brief discussion upon the question of the purity of elections, the House adjourned. American Securities on ’Change. LoNpon, April 11, 1870.

Some of the insurgents had issued an order pun- ishing with death whoever reads De Rodas’ amnesty Proclamation. Cespedes intends to leave the country. He will be actively pursued. Anarchy, panics and desertions prevali every- Where among the rebels. Some have raised the standard of revolt against Agramonte, owing to his tyrannical behavior.

In the Legisiative Assembly to-day Mr. Landers, of Annapolis, and Mr. Kidson, of Victoria, pre- sented numerousty signed petitions praying that steps be taken to ask the British government to re- lease from the Confederation or absolve Nova Scotia from allegiance. Mr. Dickie moved his resolutions agatnat the Do- minion national policy, and urged the importance of an American market for Nova Scoua, and quoted statistics to sliow the decrease of trade since the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, and declared that the peopie were dissatisfied with the contedera- tion, and that unless reciprocity 18 effected the cis. faction will increase. He charged the Dominion with negiecting to make efforts for reciprocity. it proposed retaliation Just as the United States gress were about reducing the auty on Nova Scot staples. The new tariff, be said, would take more from Nove Scotia than was given by the home gov- ernment. Attoruey General Wilkins sald this tartit added another to the many barriers Canada had raised against reciprocity, Mr. Dickie again spoke, urging tae disastrous effects of the duty on flour upon tue vessels engaged in the American coal trade, as It would prevent them taking return cargo.

AMUSEMENTS, Woop’s MUSkUM—Tif BOHEMIAN GIkL,—A bur- lesque on Balfe’s celebrated opera was produced at this house last uight for the first time before a crowded audience, which, considering the inclement weather, evinced the popularity of Mr. Wood's blondes. The burlesque, as may be supposed, does not by any means foliow the opera closely, but there are a few scenes from the latter im it. There is plenty of fun, dancing and comic songs im it, however, and what else is needed tor a burlesque? The music ts in shreds and patches, and bears and monkeys are introduced in the fair scene. Of all the characters in the cast Miss Ada Harland and Miss Emily Pitt bore off the palm by their vivacity and briiliancy, Miss Lizzie Wilmore 1s @ clever little soubrette, but her sister Jennie has neither voice, comic humor nor the slightest quality to recommend her as & burlesque actress. Mr. Felix Rogers made a comic Deviishoof, only he should avoia Irisa songs, which he sings with a Comanche dialect. Louis Mestayer made @ hit as the Count, and the remaining blondes and brunettes were as fair and funny as might be expected. ‘I'he White Cat,’’ one of the best bur- lesques of the season, is given at the matinées each day.

There was a great deal of discussion of the merits of the great Tammany fight, which bad resulted so disastrousiy to the Young Democracy, but the latter seemed to have lost allits friends, and was referred to very much in the same manuer as people now talk of the Southern confederacy. Everybody was full of enthustasin for *‘Big Six” and his colleagues, and there was not a voice to be heard in vindication of the slaughtered Tuscaroras whose scalps were #0 ruthlessly pulled off at Albany last week. So gene- ral has been the revulsion of sentiment among the late democratic factions that A PEACE MrAsURE in the shape of a petition for the Counct! of Sachems of Tammany to reorganize the General Committee has been circulated in every ward of the city, and has already been signed by three-fifths of the com- mittee, The petition 1s as follows:— To TUE COUNCIL OF SACUEMS OF THE TAMMANY SO ory: Referring to the recent action or the Council of Sachems appointing @ committee to consider the existing condition of the General Committee of Tammany Hall, the undersigned members of such General Committee do hereby invite aod roquest, asa matter of party necessity, that the Council of Sachemis, as they have repeatedly and wisely done on former occasiona, wiil decide upon such course of reorganization of the General Committee as shall in their judgtent secure union and harmony and @ just reprosentation to the demac- of this city, eing to abide in ail respects hy such de a as the Council shall make, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE yesterday waa the centre of attraction to the demo- cratic hosts, and the corridor leading thereto was packed with anxtous aspirants to place trom early office hours untt! late tn the afternoon.

Mr. Tweed having been sworn in on Friday night he was in attendance at the Department ot Public Works, No. 237 Broadway, at an early hour and despatched business with a celerity which showed how familiar he was with the duties of bis new office. A CURIOUS INCIDENT ATTENDING the administering of his officlal oath is worthy of notice. ‘There were present at the time both the oid and the new Chamberiain, and tne Bible, which was lying open on the Mayor's table, was accidental, discovered to be opened at the Book of Esther, ant the following verses were wonderfully appropriate for the occasion. In the seventh chapter, ninth and tenth verses, It is stated:—“And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the King: Behold, also, the gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeti in the house of Haman. Then the king said: Hang, him thereon. So they hanged Haman on the galldws that he had prepared tor Mordecat, Then was the King’s wrath pacified.” If for Harbonah Sweeny is read, and for Mordecai ‘Tweed, and for Haman McLean, and for the king Mayor Hali the paralleiisin of the passage will be complete.

Leaving bis classes in 1842 he ented the service of the proprie- tor of this journal, “Q the mailing department, where he continued fo¥ some time, Subsequently Mr, Jourdan held a sim lar position on the Sun, and tn 1853 was in charge o,’ the mailing department of the Trivune, In all those Vositions he gave com- lete satisfaction: but by the uc'¥ice of friends he was Induced to pt an appoin\ went on the police force. He entered the Sixth prec, ul in 1863 and per- formed post duty under Captain (now Commissioner) Brennan for sone time, and also detailed duty in charge of the Tombs Police Court, It was here that he first attained a famiiarity with the countenances of criminals that in after years assisted hin in working up some Of the best detective jobs. Wuen the trouble occurred between the municipal police and Mayor Wood's forces Jourdan, who did not Wish to desert the democratic cause, resigned and retired to private life. But uls talents had drawn him towards tuat calling and he could not long re- main out, After Mayor Tieman assumed control of municipal affairs Jourdan was tendered an appoint- ment on the new force. Two months after he ac- ce a Was assigned to his ola ward as detective, ‘under Captain Joseph Dowling. His career in the Sixth as detective made him many triends, and his evergy and faithtuiness in the performance of every duty were quickly ap- preciated. In April, 1890, he was, much vo his sur- prise—for he had not asked for 1t—promoted to sergeant of his precinct, where he has ever since done duty. Ju 1863, when Captain Dowling re- celved the appointment 0% Police Justice, the Com- uissiouers believed that Jourdan was the fitcest man available to govern what at that time was con- sidered ratuer a turbulent ward, aud he was made captain. He has worked his way up rapully from one position of trust to another, until he is now at tue head of the commana, As a detective officer Mr. Jourdan stanas at the head of the profession, and Las recovered more pro- perty, arrested more robbers and murderers than any ofiicer now on the force, perhaps. Among the detective cased where he particularly aistia- guished uunself, was the burglary of the Con- cord (N. H.) Bank, im 1867, where $310,000 was secured, After eight months of laborious work he recovered $264,000 of the money und arrested the thieves—Moore, Kean and Howard. The robbery of the Bowdojoham Bank, a few years ago, where $75,000 was secured by forcing the castuer to give up the keys and opea the safe, gave Jourdan an opportunity to display his abilities. He secured the sentence for twenty years of Rosey Syms, David Baruett and Kdward, alias Fairy, MeGuire. ‘The stolen funds, however, were never recovered. Some eight years ago one Gladding saw a man named Smith deposit $204,000 in railway bonds with the clerk of the Metropolitan Hoel. Next morning Gladding palmed lumself off as Smith and secured the bonds. A few weeks later Jourdaa ar- rested the thiet and nearly tue entire amount stolen. Some of lis best cases were the working up of ro: berles committed by clerks and porters in sto: In 1865 or 1866 he secured the arrest of eizutes employés of Claflin & Mellen who naa systematical robbed their employers, convicted = sevent and recovered = $25,000 worth of propert. Among other representative cases was tt unearthing of the robbers of Mr. Jennings’ su house, in broadway, where he arrestea a clerk avother party and recovered a vast amount of p perty; and tne fathoming of systematic ropneries perpetrated upon Balt & Black. In the last instauce he recovered about $20,000 worth of property. As an officer Mr. Jourdan has atways displayed all the qualities requisite to command. Coubined with vast experience, intelligence and shrewdness, he possesses we scope 01 mind so Decessary to form basty and correct decisions, and the tirmess to exe- cute. All who are familiar with his services on the force will unite im the generally conceded opiuion that a better selection for the office of Superinten- dent of Police could not have been made. JOURDAN’S SUCCESSOR. Sergeant Thomas J. Kennedy, of the Sixth pre- cinct, was unanimously appointed Acting Captain of the sixth precinct, THE KXCITEMENT AT THE CENTRAT, OFFICH. ‘The appearance at the Central Otice of Mayor tall creaved quite @ commotion in the building, and for some time business was almost entirely sus- peuded by some of the anxious clerks who antici- pated decapitation. When the proceedings of the Board were made public satisfaction was expressed by all hands, aud the magainery of the oiice was but in motion agaiu. The reappointment of Seth C. Hawley a3 Chief Clerk createa some comment. It will be recoliected that two weeks ago he was confirmed by the Senate as Collector of Internat Reveaue tor the Eighth district, and tt was expected that he would retire, It seems that the Board wishea to retain Mr. tawley’s services, and a8 the salary 1s nearly equal to the income of the collector of that district, he accepted. Mr, Hawiey is @ native of Eric hog N.Y. He was admitied to the bar in Buffalo, and practiced law tn that city for some years. Previous to bis appointivent as Chief Clerk of the Police Department he neld various positions of public trust, and 1s a great favorite with democrats a3 well as republicans who have been brougot tn contact with him oMtcialiy.
