It will in such case be openo ed and the amount in it declared. The biddings to take place on the 1st of March, at the treasury, at ten o'clock." At the time and place noted above the biddings took place, when it was divided between Messrs. Baring and Messrs Rothschild at the priee of lt The Hngllsti Budget. In the House of Commons, on the 81st of February, The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to make the financial statement of the year. Ho stated that it was ir many years since a Chancellor of the Exchequer had to report such heavy demands upon the Exchequer, but is those demands were occasioned by the dearth of food, which was a visitation of Providence.

Thousands oi starving persons in Irelsnd appealed to this country for r' sympathy and assistance, and that he ceuld not refuse. 0 Never, however, had the finances ofthe country been so lt able to bear thoir demands For the first timo there had been no deficiency bills, and the produce of the revenues had been sufficient to defray the expenses of the State. In the Customs, the produce of every article for the last nine months, had, with the exception of ar0 tides on whieb duties had been reduced, exceeded the estimate. In the Excise, with the exception of soap, 8 the same had taken place. The right hon.

Tin amount of bullion was only leas than it was this lime twelve months. The late Chancellor of the Exchequer had calculated upon a surplus of and the actual surplus was including paid as duty on the im port of foreign sugar He now would state what the probable income of the "year, from 6th April, 1846 to 6th April 1847 would be. Last year the duties on corn pro, duced He could not calculate upon such an amount, but atill be calculated in security. Thero had been an increase in the importation of butler, cheese, and silk last year, consequent upon the reduction ol duty, and he calculated that this increase would con, tinue, and ha assumed that the probable revenue from the customs would ha Of excise duties he reckoned for the year ah increase of 7nn imfi 4 contemplated from a revenue of 600,000, from taxes from the property tax from the post ofllcei from crown lands 1 from miscellaneous sources of revenue making a total ordinary revenue of 000 The expen ses of the interest of the debt and the Consolidated Kund 1 would be lor tho army, The 1 navy vote would be the ordnance vote would 1 be being an increase of 60S. Themis cellnneous votes, exclusive of votes for Ireland, would be an increase of 000.

The whole ot the estimates would amount to 077, making the whole ordiuary expenditure What the expenditure for Ireland might be it was not easy to state, lor it depended on various eircumstances ever which he had no control. He should be safe in reckoning the ex penditure at much less than 000,000 a month up to the i tuno ol' next bar vest. He could not calculate the sum at less than 000,000. The question then, arose whether he should borrow all the or only a part He be. lieved that the more prudent course would be to borrow 1 at once all the money.

The next question was, whether in borrowing so large a sum of money he ought to aocompany it with increased taxation, not only for the purpose of paying the interest, but also (or the discharge of the principal at no distant time I The present yesr, however, was an unfit period for increased taxation; for any site ation in taxation always produced a stagnation of trade. He, therefore, proposed to raise the interest of Exchequer Bills from to 2d a day. The annual which kc should thus incur would be He should thus have a charge of to deduct from surplus ol which would leavo him only a suiplua of so that upon tue whole he should have a surplus ol It must be evident from this statement that he could ill spare any revenue thia year; and that must be hie answer to the rious which bad made to him for a reduction of the duties on tea, tobacco, malt, lie. Having noit stated that he did not intend this year to propose a permanent instead of an annual system ol sugar duties, he proceeded to regret the interruption wuich the calamity ef the country had given to the com' meicial and financial policy which had been carried on for the last four years with such unparalleled success He then read a statement of tho regular increase In the consumption of tho articles of cofl'oo, butter, cheere, sugar and lea, which han taken place in the inter1 val between the year 1843. and the year 1846 and showed that that consumption must have boon occasioned by 1-1? i uvuiK wnuiuuie ream 01 tho work inK classes by the reduction of the duties upon them Having Sir I'eel on auch tiring the reaulti hie policy, he concluded by moving a lormal vote, thnt t'n oj.oeo he gianted out the consolidated I'und for the ruiief of Ireland A desultory discussion then took place, in the course of which Mr.

Hume, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Roebuck found fault with the financial policy of the Government The latter gentleman insisted that the house ought Pot to allow this loan made until it had insured tho passing of ti Irish Poor Law, and called upon Lord John Itus sell to impose an income tax upon lieland, as an act of justice towards Kngland. Lord J. contended that it would be neither nor just nor considerate to impose an income tax en Ireland at the present moment.

Mr. expressed his gratification at finding I his estimsie of the produce of the revenue for the present jeer so much exceeded, and refuted the fallacies put forth by O.

Mr. Wheaten stated opiuioa to be that the right of women to succeed to the throne of Denmark I was perfectly clear that their right to succeed to the Duchy of Bohleswig was doubtful; but that they certainly could not, according to ancient and existing laws, succeed to Holatein.

On the 17th ult. the United States Minister and Mr. Whaaton were received by the King. It appears that at length the government of France has presented a bill to the Chamber of Deputies, authorising it to concede four steam vessels belonging to the national navy to a mercantile company, needed by Messrs. Herout and Handel, who, in return for the vessels, undertake te establish regular steam communication between Havre and New Vork, and to carry the office mails for nothing.

The vessels are worth 1,900.000 francs; but, in giving them, the government effects a saving ofhot less than 7,300,000 francs compared with the terms it offered some years ago. When regular communication shall be established betweeu Havre and New York by means of these steamers, it is calculated that the Liverpool vessels will lose 170,000 francs per auuuM iu iae conveyBDCB oi rencu toilers, perhaps, six or seven the amount in anil passengers.

Ever aince 1H40 the Krench government haa had the intention of having a regular communication between one of the Krench porta and the United States, and more than one bill haa been prevented to the Chambera on the aubjoot; but, atrange to aay, different circumatancea have till now prevented the roaliaatiouof ao aimple and yet ao important a meaaure.

The government haa received news Irom Tahiti up to the Nov. Several had taktn place between the Krench and the utives, and the Governor VI Bruat had no hope of disarming the latter until after the arrival of fresh troops from France. Queen Pomare had again and again most positively refused to return to Tahiti, ao long as Bruat should remain there, notwithstanding the principul English inhabitants, with whom she ia on the moat friendly terms, had entreated her to do so. A new governor been sent out to supersede M. Bruat, and as he ia known to, and respected by Pomare, it ia hoped that ha will be able to induce hor to return to the iaUnd, and thereby prevent further bloodshed.

At tho half yearly meeting of the Bank of France, it was stated that not less than had been drawn from the reserves sinee the month of July, principally on account of the distress occasioned by the scar city. The details given of the bank's operations were not of the most satisfactory character nor were the held out for the future very cheering. In the last six months of the year discounts were made of commercial paper to the amount of 600,000,000 francs, htiug only 18,000,000 more than in the corresponding half of the preceding year, whilat in the Arst six the increase was more than 003.000.000.

Numberless re poita were current at Madrid as to the projects and movements of the Carlisle; but very few of them would appear to be well founded. In the JEco del Comet eio there is an account of the occupation of Cervera by Triatany and Res de Kroles, which represents those Montemolinist leaders to have acted with great moderation and generosity. The Herald that Den Miguel is in London. The ministry bad agreed as to the Oasis of the union of the dan Fernando and Isabella banks. That the Queen Dowager would soon leave Madrid for the French capital seemed certain.

Holland. A periodical published here, under the tronage ol the government, and specially devoted to Asiatic matters, praises in the highest terms the moderation and prudence of the American Coaimodore Biddle on his recent visit to Japan. Both he and his mission were treated so disrespectfully (the Japonose government positively refusing to receive him or the President's letter) that ha might have been excused had he tried the efficacy of canuon-ball and gunpowder. But had ha dono ao, it is said, that he would have retarded for yeart the opening of Japan to his country's commerce, whereat hit moderation has given the Japanese the higheet opinion of the nation he represented, and has favorably disposed them towards it. dimilar praise is bestowed upon the French Admiral The artiele is written- by a gentleman who has loag resided in Japan, as doctor to the Dutch factory, it that tho King of Holland haa strongly recom mended the Emperor of Japan to throw open bit country to Europeans, so as not to run tha risk of being bombarded into civilization like the Chinese.

This populur assembly is composed of upwards ot 10,000 voters, and ia invested with the right to uumiaate the members ol the Council of State, anJ to vote laws. Details of legislation are abandoned to the Orand Council, which haa become a merely secondary body. We ire very curious to see how this immense Council will transact affairs.

Italy and Switzerland. The disposition to a progressive and enlightened policy in the governments oi Sardinia and the Papal States, has caused repressive demonstrations on the part of Austria. That government haa marched largo bodies oi troops upon tha frontiers of Switzerland and Piedmont. It said that in the event of any disturbance in the legations, the King of Saidinia will intervene in favor of the Pope hu' it la added that Austria, which opposed the Sardinian intervention in 183d, will atill more energetically oppoae it now, being favorable to the.ltalian cause Germany. Prussia haa at length received something in the shape ef the long promised Constitution the king has issued letters patent, enacting that the provincial of the kingdom shall be united into a general Diet aa often as it shell be necessary to raise loaaa, or to increase existing taxes.

Thus the king accords to the Diet some control ovar the public money. The concession is not, perhaps, very nothing like what was expected, but, considered as the first step towards liberty, its im Psrtance cannot he over rated. It will be the fault of the rtissiana themselves, if, now that they have got the power of the purse, they do not, before long, oMain tha laws. rights ami privileges, of a frea tbat they merit, as one of the greatest and most intelligent nations in Kuroj The roval patents, us tliey are called, are lour in numbor, and are very lengthy, setting forth a number of minute regulations with respect to the powers and attributes of tlte new Dirt Besides the convocation of the United Diet, for according loans and new taxes, the King preposrs to convoke, periodically, a committee of their Body, to consult them on such legislative acts as he may th'nk advisable. It seems, however, that they will not be allowed any legislative power, but will be a mere consultative body, whose advice may or may not be followed.

It seems also, that they are to have the right of petition. These last two concessions are scarcely worth mentioning, some control over taaation being the only concession id any importance. The United Diet is to be formed of ell the eight Diets of the moosrcby. It will consist of two branches; one of the princss of the blood and the titled bility, the other of the deputise (consisting of three orders) elected as at present The total number of the new body will be upwards of 6t0. Since the promulgation of this new Constitution, as some people call it, the Kr has issued an ordinance convoking the Diet for llth A ril however, says his Majesty, because the -ate df the nuances requires their co opera tion, but because he is anxious to see them around him.

The concessions made by the King, have, upon the whole, been very favorably received in Germany, notwithstanding they fall so far short of nubile expectation The ofHcial organ o( the government bus published some rematkable articles on the subject, in which it holds out a sort of promise that if the people behave well the King will moke further before long, tngul.

In Toland tho corn harves was bad in both quality and quantity; the potato failed geuerally. In Scandinavia a bad harvest.

In Italy maiz and corn good, but burnt in some tatccs but little cultivated in Italy. In Swilzei land the quality good, but not ubundant; the potat crop failed.

In France the harvest is universally bai and the potatoes foiled nearly in every deportment. I the Netherlands, and in Belgium, the corn-harvest ws equally bad, us also the potato crop.
