LKL> J « £ *■ I .«* THE FINANCES. > "There have been two important debates on the f1utÎ<>n of the fiuance ince our lust—one in 1l Lords, the other in the Commons. That in the former took place on Friday evening, whcn Earl I Granville moved the third reading of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, which provided a consi- derable part of that national income estimated at £iO,181),000 required to me,t an estimated ex- penditure of £70.000, \I()O, leaving the nominal surplus of £180,000. The speakers were-oii the Government si(le-Ewl Granville, the Dukes pf Newcastle and Argyll, and Earl Russell on the opposition, the Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Over- stone, Earl Grey, and the Earl of Derby. The object of the last H:\U\Cl1noble lords was to show the dangerous nature of the financial policy of the Chancellor of the Exche<}ur, who had failed in his estimate, both of income and exponditure, and thus destroyed all public confidence in liis statcmmts whilst he had iujnred public credit by applying b the purposes of the current revenue the unit and hop credits, and the sums received as repayments of advances, besides encroaching largely upon tit- balances in the exchequer. The members of the Government had very little to urge in defence of the system. They could not deny the facts, but they made use of sotne very ingenious special pleading to explain them away; awl atte:llptüd to retort upon the Conservatives by referring to Mr. Disraeli's administration of 1858, when he postponed the payimnt of £;OOO,OOO of Exchequer bozit-is-tliii-, breaking faith with the country, as Mr. Gladstone is now accused of doing. The debate wili a very able one and the speech of Lord Overxtone—who said it was his deliber- ate conviction, that the management of the Jia- tioual fiu iuoes during the hst two years liatV lwen of a ve:y perilous character, and lii(I le,l to very unsatisfactory results "-will have great weight with the country. But the most important part of that debate to Conservatives, was the explana- tion given by the Earl of Derby of the expression bloated armaments," us11 by Mr. Disraeli, and upon which the Dukes of Newcastle and Argyll severely animadverted. The noble earl alluded to the increase of expen- diture made in his administration "for the pur- pose of what was at the time called the re-con- struction of the navyand to the steps which he and his colleagues took in hazarrling a ncw, and then wholly untried, experiment of iron- plated vessels, the first of which was the Warrior, being the earliest step bk. tow.iris placing the ir> vy of this country in that position which it was essentially necessary it sJwultl occupy." Then he alluded to what the two noble dukes had said respecting the expression "bloated armaments," and asked whether it was likely that the minister, who, in his place in parliament, had proposed the expenditure of 1858 and 1859, would turn round on all his own and his previous opinions, and "hring forward a proposition cal- culated to discourage the maintenance of such a military and naval force in this country as was es- sentia! to its safety of existence ? What Mr. Disraeli actually said, continued the noble earl, was a sentiment which, I am sure, will be sh ired in by every member of this house. It was the expression of his great, regret that the cir- of Europe generally had induced j every country to provide'• bloated armaments —armaments which have bee l unnaturally swol- len beyond their dele estimate—which not merely in this country, but in every country in Europe, are creating excitament ivnongst their neighbours, and financial distress and difficulty at home. It was to that circumstance that my right hou. friend rfcHTed ill a tone of regret and complaint, which I am sure will be participated in by every one who is a lover of peace, and of the prosperity of the empire." We are bound to tafce the explana- tion given by the noble earl of Mr. Disraeli's speech. It is unfortunate that in [1,1 out of the house anoth:Jr cl>H,trl1ctioll was put upon it-a construction which give to it a inelikilig in which no honest Coaservative could acquiesce But these discussions were considered merely skirmishes to the grand attack on the Ministry, which, it was alleged, was to be made on the discussion of the following resolution, alluded to in our last, of which Mr. Stanslield, one of the members for Halifax, gave notice:—"That, in the opinion of this house, the national expenditure is c:lp1\1>10 of reduction, without compromising the safety, the independence, or the legitimate ill- fluence of the country." Thi" motion, it was avowed, was intended to procure, not a wise and judicious economy iu connection with our ex- isting armaments, but I, great reduction of our military and naval forces. It was met by notices of eveml ameu,lmellts,-the principal one, up to Friday night, being that of which Mr. Hoisinan gave notice, a copy of which we inserted in our hist. OIl that night. Lord Palmer-ton stated, t', a' on behalf of the Government, lie should move the following resolution as a suhstitute for Mr. Stansfield's :—" That this House, deeply impressed with the necessity of economy in every department of the State, is at the same time mindful of its obligation to provide for the security at home and the protection of its in- tent abroad that this House observes with satisfaction the decrease which has already been effected in the national expenditure, and trusts that such further diminution may be madc therein as the future state of things may warrant." This announcement was cordially recl)iyed by the ministerialists, and silently by the rest of the irembers. On Monday there was a numerous meeting of (\"Hcrvative members at the Earl of Derby's a id we believe, we are warranted in saying, that the feeling of tho great majority of those as- sembled was adverse to any coquetting with the Radicals, for the purpose of ejecting Ministers from their seats. Still, it was unanimously ae. knowledged that economy was a necessity, and that our finances were in a dangerous state. The Earl of Darby made a very animated speech oil the subject, and espechlly enlarged upon the enormous expenditure in the civil department. At this meeting it was resolved to support the following amendment, which it was stated, Mr. Walpole (who was not present) intended to uiove, in the event of Lord Pahnerston's amendment on Mr. Stansfield's motion being successful, and put as a substantive motion That this House trusts that the attention of Government will be earnestly directed to the accomplishment of such further reductions of expenditure, due regard being had to the defences of the country, as may not only equalise the revonue and expenditure, but the means of diminishing the hurden of those taxes which are confessedly of a tempo- rary and exceptional character." The meeting received this amendment with approval, as it was considered to include all that was required—a pledge that economy would be pursued, and taxes reduced to the utmost extent, compatible with our national security. On Monday evei ing, Mr. Walpole gave notice of his intention to move the above amendment; and on Tuesday the rumours were very prevalent that there would be a trial of strength between the ministerialists and the Conservatives. When the House of Commons proceeded to business that evening-Lord Pal- merston appealed to the members who had given notice of amendments, to withdraw them. In that appeal he did not include Mr. Walpole, as it was in consequence of his notice that he made it. He considered the resolution announced by that right hon. gentleman as altering the question from one of the relative value of substantives or adjectives. The House, he said, was "not now to deliberate upon a choice between different methods of expressing very nearly the same meaniug and intention viz., the meaning that all parties in the House were desirous that every practical economy should be enforced consistently with the maintenance, in proper efficiency, of the several public services of the nation." But the question it was called upon to determine was, whether the gentlemen who sit on the ministerial benches, or the gentlemen who sit on the opposite ones, were best entitled to tho confidence of the house and of the country." That question he declared himself ready to meet, and he therefore wished all others to give way. Mr. Walpole disclaimed all hostility to the Government and several members declared that his resolution was.mach preferable to that of Lord Palmerston Air. Horsman averring, thatu he had not heard any ge iitlemau on either side of the House express an opinion on this subject, who has not said, that putting party feeling aside, 99 out of even 100 members would prefer the amendment suggested by Mr. Walpole, to that to be moved by the Premier. However, after the ground upon which the noble Viscount put the question, Mr. Walpole declined to move his resolution; and Mr. Stausfield's being rejected by 3G7 votes to üiJ; and an amendment moved by Mr. Lindsay being also negatived,—Lord Pahner- ston's resolution was adopted without a division. The debate, which was looked forward to with great interest, lost all attraction when it was known how matters were disposed of but several good speeches were delivered and Mr. Disraeli never spolcl better. It was quite evident that he would have been better pleased, if the amendment of the right honourable member for Cambridge University had been pushed to a division and it was equally clear, that, if it had been,—after the alternative put by Lord Palmerston,-that, as Sir Wm. Heathcote said, Many a man who did not agree with the noble lord politically or finan- cially on some subjects, would have withdrawn from opposition, rather than have disturbed him in the possessson of the ofice he holds." II hy this is so is patent to most of our readers; and the most honest and honourable Conservatives feel, that, at present, it would not be for the country's benefit to disturb the present Govern- ment.

BALA. THE MILITIA.—The review of the Royal Merioneth- shire Militia took place on Tuesday hit, at 4 p.m.; and the weather being rather fayoumhle, a great number of spectators were assembled for the pnrpoôe of witnessing the military evolutions. At half-past four the inspecting officer, Col. Edwards, of the 49th regt., arrived on the spot, and was received with a general salute. They were then wheded into open columns, and marched past in slow and quick time under their commanding officer, Lieutenant-Ci ,l'>nel Tottenham. Captain E. J. Jones was then called to put the regiment through their drill, which was don0 to the great satisfaction of the ini<pect- ing officer. They then wheeled into line, and went through their manual and platoon exercises with great credit, taking into consideration the short period of their drill. The inspecting officer then addressed the regiment, and stated that he was highly pleased with the discipline and general appearance of the men, aud to be able to give them a very satisfactory report. On the following day, they were discharged and we cannot refrain from expressing the great satisfaction of the townspeople generally, at the admirable and orderly conduct of the men while mustered in the town.

BETHESDA. PENHIIYN VOJ.USTKKUS.—These two companies are engaged in (?ing through their preliminary drills previous to tiring. During the past week there was drill every evening, "nd there ?,,y strong muster. W understand that the Hon. Col. Pennant. ith hi usual IziI iitliie? and generosity, ha sent the handsome sum c:i 4:20 to be compekd for by firing by the two companies. The following is the mode which the commi8iolled aud non-commissioned officers have determined to divide it, as being the best to promote the volunteer movement and encourage the men .£2 in each company to the man who makes the greatest number of hits in the l-t class. e2 ditto ditto points in the I et £1 105. ditto ditto hits in the 2,?d class. El I Oi. ditto ditto points in the 2nd class. XI 111,, ditto ditto hits in the 3rd class. £1 10s. ditto itt" P"it, in the 3rd class. No man to have two prizes. As they will in a few days be going through the regu- lar course of shooting, we expect that the commanding officer will have the pleasure of entering in their returns for the War Office some account worthy of malting, for every one will no doubt be most careful to endeavour to stand high. CHRIST CHI'UCH, GLASOGWO.—An abridgement only (for want of room; of the foowing report, appeared in hut week's CHRONICLK :—It is certainly gratifying to see the Church of our Father.; reyiYing as if it were from her long slumber, and to see a congregation of sewral hundreds coming out of or going into the church' yes, it is pleasing to think that the Church is regaining the ground she once lost. We had the pleasure to witness this scene on Wednesday aud Thursday last, in Christ Church, Glanogwe.i. To an old Churchman of 70 or 80 years old, it certainly was pleasing, for he had oft been in Church, whell very few except the clergymen and clerk were present; but to see a congregation of about WOO, all worshipping together, and joining in that beautiful prayer of the Church, Have mercy upon us miserable Rin1H.:rs,it would almost make his heart leap with joy; and wo greatly hope that the day is not far distant when we "lian find our churches too smidl in every parish. A" there was a holiday in the Quarry on Thursday (Ascension-day), there was senice and sermon on Wednesday evening, holy communion at eight a.m. Thursday JI1orning, service and sermon at, 10 a.lI1" the litany and sermon at 2 p.m., extemporary prayer meeting in the school-room at 430 p.m, and even- ing service and sermon at 6 p.m. The beautiful sacred ediHce W,\S fun each time, especially on Thursday even- ing, when it was literally crammed. The service was choral throughout. On Wednesday evening the prayers were said by the Rev. H. Owen, Llanerchymedd, and the service by tho Itev. Mr. Killen, Festiniog. The ser- mon was preached b y the lev. S. Price, Dolgelley; he chose for his text, the 5th chanter of the epistle to the Romans and 19th verse, and began by stating that the Rum aud 8ub!:)tance of relibon was obedience he then went on and spoke oi thefirst Adam's disobedience, end afterwards of Christ's, the second Adam's, obe- dience he was obedient even to the Cross. The sermon was delivered under the following heads:-—1st. The necessity of Hod in tae flesh; 2nd. The necessity for that Saviour to be a perfect. man. The sermon was one of the most learned and impressive that we have heard for a long time. The Holy Eucharist was administered to a groat number of communicants at eight a.m. on Thursday morning, by the Iiev. J. Price, Incumbent of Glanogwen, and the K. v. H. L. Price, Rector of Pen- machno. The morning service began at prayers were said by the Rev. W. Morgan, Llandegai, and the service by the Rev. Mr. Jones, curate of Pwll- heli, and an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. H. Owen, Llanerchymedd, who eheso for his text Mark 11 chap., 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 verses. III the first place he compared the account of our Lord cursing the barren fig tree, as related by St. Mathew with St. Mark; he then explained when the fruit appeared in the fig ti-ee the fig tree represented the Jewish nation —that although tbe .Tews possessed the temple and other blessings, still they were fl'nitle,s-aocl.' curse upon them. We are the Lord's vineyard, and possess still greater blessings than the Jews, therefore our responsi- bility is greater, &c. At two p.m. the litany was said by tlie Rev. D. Thomas, St. Ann's, and the sermon by the Rev. Mr. Killin, Festiniog, his text was taken from Isiah i. 18. He first spoke of the wisdom of the Chmch in dividing the year to certain times and seasons, and so brinein" before our view the different great events in our Saviour's life. The sermon was a very impressive one, and appealed to every heart present. He delivered it chiefly under the following heads: 1st. The nature ot sin. 2nd. The Gospel's preparation for our sins. After the service, a collection was made for the Curate's Aid Society. At 4 30 p.m there was a prayer meeting in the school-room—the prayers were extempore and ap- pealing. The evening service began at 6 p.m.; but long before the appointed hour every seat had been occupied. Prayers were said by the Rev. M r. H uglies, Llanddeiniolen, and the service by the Rsv. D. Parry, Glanogwen, and the sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Jones, Pwllheli; he chose for his text, St. Luke xv. 8 and 9, (The lost piece of money). He said that all Christ's miracles tended to explain his Spiritual kingdom, and divided his text under the following heads 1st, Sinner's repentance. 2nd. The joy that there is in the presence of God for every sinner that repents. The sermon made every heart feel, and indeed brought tears from many. God grant that all these sermons may have their due effect upon each one. A communicant's meeting was held after the service, when they were addressed by the Rel"1 Mr. Killin aud the Rev. J. Price.

DENBIGH. LI,EW LLWYFO.—We rejoice to understand that our talented townsman, Llew Llwyfo, has been engaged to conduct a portion of the musical performances at the National Eisteddfod, to be held at Carnarvon, in August next. We trust he will secure the services of the most popular artistes in the kingdom. SALE AT RUTIIIN CASTLK FARM YARD.—On Tues- day and Wednesday last, Messrs. Hill and Sons, Oswes- try, offered for sale by auction at the above farm, valuable carriage and cart horses, with harneiH, bridles, and clothing, milch cows, husbandry implements, bay, oak, ash, poplar, and other timber, &c., the property of the late F. R. West, Esq. Tture was a large attendance of gentry and farmers, and everything fetched a high price. Milch cows went for from nine to fifteen guineas. Tun YEOMANRY CAVALRY.-—The different troops of this noble regiment wiJl assemble in Denbigh this day (Thursday) at 1 p.m., for eight days' training, and it is presumed they will number about 500. The forthcom- ing week is looked upon with mingled feelings of anxiety aud excitement, and considered to be an important era in connection with this town, which, undoubtedly, is a convincinng proof of the patriotism of the inhabitants. Should the weather continue as at present, we anticipate a crowded influx of spectators daily from all parts of the surrounding country; and we feel pretty well assured that a trip to Denbigh next week, will afibrd delight and health to every heart. In addition to the magnificent sight of 500 finely-built men, handsomely attired in niili- tary clothing, with arms, and mounted Oil superior horses, going through various manoeuvres, the unsur- passed scenery of Dylfryn Clwyd, with its woods, rivers, orchards, &c., will gladden the eye and cheer the soul. The grounds within the walls of the ancient Castle are also in grand condition, and two or three hours can be spent there with benefit and pleasure.

PORTMADOC. THE NATIONAL SCHOOL.—On Monday last, the 2nd injt., the children of this well-conducted school were examined by the Diocesan Inspector, the Hev. W. Hughes, Beddgelert-in the Scriptures—who expressed himself highly pleased with the proficiency of the pupils throughout the school, under the able management of tho teacher, Mr. Maddern. At the conclusion of the examination lie, attached the mark "excellent," in his Report, this being the highest he ceuld give. The rev. gentleman also kindly left the sum of nine shillings to be distributed among the scholars. TUI VOLUNTEERS.—We are glad to find, that with the approach of summer, this spirited little company of vo- lunteers is beginning to shew signs of resucitated life and vigor. The annual required drills are being commenced, and the men have just gone through the" judging dis- tance" part of their drill. In order to stimulate the zeal of the members, and to reward the more meritorious of the volunteers, it has been decided to give prizes to the amount of £ 17 in all, to the best shots in the several classes. Captain Mathew himself has liberally offered a silver cup, value X 5, to be competed for by the sergeants of company exclusively; the remaining <12 to be given to the winners in the first, second, and third classes. The prizes are to be given to those who make the greatest number of points duiing the whole class-practice of 60 rounds each, and none who do not go regularly through this practice will be permitted to compete for any com- pany prize. Out of the total number of enrolled volun- teer, we understand that over úO are now tngagecl in going through their class drill. This is a pretty fair number; but as the total strength of the company is about 80 members, it is hardly equal to the number which ought to be. There is little doubt, however, but that the above liberal" prize-money" will act as a very wholesome and effective incentive to attendance and ex- ertion, and will stir up the spirits of the more sluggish and lethargic. The Captain and the officers are doing their very best to promote the efficiency of the company, and we trust the men will warmly second their spirited cflort3. PETTY SESSIONS, Friday, May 30.—Before John Jones, Esq., (Ynysgain), and O. Griffith, Esq. There was scarcely any business done at this Session, the only Case being one from Beddgelert, in which a shopkeeper was charged by Inspector Dffvies with having an illegal lib weight in his shop; but as this appeared to arise from ignorance more than anything else, the Bench let the party off with paying the costs only—no fine having been inflicted. One or two assessment books were signed- and that was all. THE POLICE STATION.—The condition of this building is not by any means iu a satisfactory state, although it is of comparatively recent erection. In itself it is one of the neatest and most commodiously-arranged police- titions in this part of Wales but the water gets in through the roof, and it is in other respects out of re- pair. On Friday la?t, the County Surveyor attended at 'the Petty Sessions, in order to consult with the local Magistrates as to the required repairs, which, we pre- sume, will at once be made. The station was erected by Alesgrs. Morton and Williams, and generally it deserves much credit; but some portion of the work we suppose, must have been indifferently done, and hence the present nccessity of repairing it.

WEEXHAM. REVIEW OF THE DENNIOHSNIRE MILITIA.—This regi- ment was reviewed on Saturday, the 24th ult., by Col. John Jones, K.C.B., late ofthe 61st, on the racecourse, Wrexham. They went through all the movements with the greatest precision. Having completed all the mau, ccuvers, the reviewing officer, addressing Colonel Bid- dulph, said-He was extremely pleased with what he had seen, and should feel it his duty to make a most favourable repol1; of the regiment to the authorities, as it reflected the highest credit on the officers, non-com- missioned officers, and the men, who must have been exceedingly attentive to drill. Their marching in slow, quick, and double-quick time, was highly satisfactory, and much beyond anything he could have anticipated. He was perfectly satisfied with all he had witnesserl, and should report most favourably as to the efficiency of the regiment. Colonel Biddulph having repeated to the men the observations made by the reviewing officer, and expressed the satisfaction he felt at having the honour to command such an efficient regiment, Captain M'Coy said to the men that he had just had a conversa- tion with the superintendent of the police, who had ex. pressed his unqualified approbation at the manner in which the men had conducted themselves since they had been iu the town. Considering there was such a largo number it was highly creditable, and he might say that from what he had seen of them they had set an ex- ample to the townsmen generally. Three cheers were given for Captain M'Coy, and the regiment soon after marched off the field. In the evening the officers and the reviewing officer dined together at the me8mjOIll, on which occasion the band of the regiment was in atten- dance, and under the guidance of bandmaster Jones, played some of the most popular music of the day, much to the delight of the inhabitants.

THE NOBLEMAN, THE EX-KITCHEN-MAID A Yl> THE <'<■> ACHM.lJ. A few days since, a coachman in the employ of a I | Miss Todd, a lady residing in the metropolis, was summoned before one of the London Magistrates, for having brutally flogged a horse, which was attached to the carriage of his mistress. The princij a' witness was the Earl of E,sex, who was accidentally passing through the street where the offence was committed, and the culprit was committed to prison for a month. Mis3 Todd appeared in Court, and impertinently stat- ed that she had ordered her coachman to whip the horse in question. The flippant and heartless manner in which she made this confession, evoked a reproof from the magistrate, and severe comments from a portion of the London press. The motive of the Earl of Essex in appearing against the offender, was most humane and praiseworthy, but his lordship has evidently raised up enemies in Miss Todd's family, as the following letter and enclosure, which appear in Wednesday's Times, testify:- As the public has taken some interest in the recent case of Miss Todd's coachman,' I think it possible that the enclosed copy of a letter just received by me from that lady's brother may also prove not uninteresting. The only observation I shall make upon it is, that I took out the summons against Miss Todd's coachman, and not against that lady berself, with whom I have nothing in earth to do. If Miss Todd thought proper to thrust herself before the public in a cause which the public has almost unanimously considered a bad one, it was her own doing, not mine. lIIr. Todd is, of course, free to carry out his foolish threat; but I think, on con- sideration, he will deem it necessary not to do so. "Yonrs obediently, ESSEX. 21, Cheshan;.phce, Belgravia, May 27." "My Lord,— You have thought proper to insult my sister, and hold her up to public execration. I consider your conduct unworthy of a nobleman and a gentleman, The days of duelling are over, or I would address your lordship in a differcnt language. But, as I am not a man capable of taking mwthcr man at a disadvantage, although you do not scruple to assail a woman, I think it right to tell your lordship that I shall take the earliest opportunity of inflicting on your lordship a castigation which you will have at your leisure an opportunity of comparing with that of the castigation properly inflicted by my sister's coachman on my sister's stubborn horse. I remain yours, "JAMES ELLINGTON TODD. "Cranstoun House, Addison Road, May 26." But the story does not end here. The public is saved from the painful necessity of forming the conclusion that an English lady possessing wealth and all means for attaining refinement and cultivating a spirit of kindness is capable of acting as Miss Todd did. A correspondent of tho Morning Pout, in the annexed letter, shows that Miss Todd is neither by birth, charac- ter, nor education, an English lady :— "The indignant protests that have appeared on the subject, are founded on the assumption that Miss Todd is a lady. Allow me to direct those persons who enter- tain that opinion to the daily papers of January 22nd and 21th, 18511 In the Probate and Divorce Court intelligence they will tind a Miss Todd's antecedents. Living with her uncle and aunt, the latter dies; the uncle (aged 84) proposes marriage a few days after the funeral to lIli8s Todd (aged 37), and is accepted. Diffi- culties prevent the consummation of this proposal. a settlement of £ 10,000 follows: family brawls ensue; and Miss lodd vents her energy by assaulting an unlucky cousin, aud throws a lighted candle at him for which elegant violence (not whipping) a police magistrate fines her XI aii(i costs. Her attentions, however, to the old man, are unceasing. She nurses aud dandles his legs to the tune of Here we ge up, up, up; here we go down, down down; and having banished from the house of her benefactor all her relatives, she 'nurses aud dan- dles on till she enters the old man's will as residuary. h?r?

For the if t1- 0n of those whose curiosity is still unsatisfied, the following passage from Miss Todd'. examination, on Thursday last before Mr. Knox, is added 'You say one of your horses is young and untrained ? Miss Todd; es, and it won't go hon without whipping.'—'Were you in Bond-street on the 13th hist. ?' Miss Todd: I were.Were yen in the shop of Messrs. Ludlow and Co. l' 1IlÎôs Todd: I were.'
