JUSTICE TO THE FIELD. 
We earnestly call the attention of all newspaper 
readers who require reliable news, to the non. hur 
sources of information enjoyed by this Journal, either 
in Politics, Sporting, Yachting, Hunting, Fishing, 
Cricketing, &c. We have, with proved truthfulness, 
cast the shadows of coining events before, throwing all 
competitors in the shade. Our readers well know that 
■within these three weeks, on the lamented death of the 
Marquis of Anglesey, we stated that Lord Hnghni 
would have the Colonelcy of the Blues ; and Tuesday's 
Gazette confirmed our statement. Last week we 
asserted, before they were taken tip, that the New 
Exchequer Bonds would be at a premium; and look 
at the quotations of the Money Market, and you will 
find our words verified. And now we come to 
one of our chief specialities, Racing, ami hero 
we have a right to take unusual credit to 
ourselves when facts, stubborn facts, are in inofiticoablu 
type, that we have named the winners, even when at 
long odds, of great events, unnicntioned by any other 
sporting paper. Among many others we can quote 
the Great Northern Handicap — V iiiago and Lough 
Bawn — S pinaway, and, though last, not. least, Fpami- 
TtoNDAs for the Chester Cup. The words of our cor- 
respondent ore extremely and singularly prophetic.

MONDAY —Lords. — the Marquis of Westmcuth moved for copies of 
any memorial that might hnvebsea presented to the Loid Lieutenant of 
Ireland in favour of Hugh Lunev, who was convicted of wilful murdtr* 
and sentenced to death, at the late assizes In Westmeath, hut whose 
sentence v. (is subsequently commuted. The noble marquis contended 
that Die culprit was one to whom mercy had been inappropriately cx- 
lc ink’d. 
The Earl of Aberdeen defended the Irish Viceroy, hy whom the 
science had been commuted. 
After somo remarks from Lord Campbell, the Earl of F.glinton, 
The Marquis ofClanrlearde, and the Lord Chancellor, 
Lord Westmeath replied, and the motion for papers wa« agreed to 
The Church Budding Acts Continuance Bill was rend a second time 
Some other bills were advanced a stage, and their lordships adjourned 
at half. past 6 o'clock. 
Omni - - Lord J. Rnvcll moved n resolution, lit reference to the 
standing order* of the House, to the effect Hint government business 
should have precedence over oilier orders of the day upon all Titers- 
days during the remainder of tho session. 
Mr, I-Tewen moved us an amendment that such precedence be 
allowed mil v upon alternate Thursdays 
Considerable discussion ensued, many complaints being urged of 
tho restricted opportunities that were given to Independent members 
for bringing forward hills, motions, &c. Ultimately, however, the 
re* lutlon was adopted, Lord J ltussell giving up the two proximate 
Thursdajs, and consenting that the resolution should not take effect 
until the 26lh Inst. 
In reply to Mr. llowyor. 
Sir J Graham slated that neither Ronton Catholic nor any other 
sailors wove “compelled" to attend the protestant services on hoard 
her .Majesty s navy. The attendance on those services was merely 
« permissive,'" not compulsory, to any member of the crews. 
The House having gone into 0»mm!ttcc of Ways and Means, 
The Chancellor of tho Exchequer proceeded to make his promised 
supplementary financial statement. In February the House had ar- 
ranged the balance sheet of the ensuing year upon a provisional basis. 
Tho expenditure arising from the preparations fi r war was then pro- 
vhled for hy a duplication of the income lax for half a year: but the 
country was then Informed, that If hostilities aotually broke out, an 
augmented revenue would have to be raised. That augmentation he 
now professed to dcllno and Justify. He reminded the II use that on 
tho oth of March, when the first financial statement was made, the 
public revenue for the ensuing year Rad been estimated at £50,060,000, 
.'Deluding £0.307,000 to he raised from Die Increase In the income tax, 
and leaving a surplus beyond the then computed expenditure amount- 
ing to about .t'4i>7,000, Since that date votes had passed enhancing 
(lie charges on account of tho navy by 14,660,000, of the army b 
£300,000, of the ordnance hy £050 000, uml of the niditla by £600 000 
Tills gave an aggregate of about six mllllo s as the supplemental 
estimate of charge for known and calculable purposes. In addition he 
intended to ask Tor £8 0.000. on account of unknown and Inc dental 
expenses, such as Inevitably spring up during the progress of an ex 
tensive war, and tho total amount for which they hud now to provide 
was Dins brought to £0.860,000- Among the Items of taxation on 
wi) oh an Increase would lie imposed, (lie first place was occupied by 
(ho Incomb Tax. lie proposed to double that tax Those Incomes 
now pay ng 7d. in the pound to pay Is. 2d, mid those Income* 
under £150 a year, now paying 6d , to pay 10'. In the pound. 
Such InciCflS' d rates to he in force till tho end of the war. 
1'rom fills source lm expected to derive nn increase of Income amount- 
lo £3, '250.000. Observing that tills impost would then produce 
£12 832,000 per annum and that two-thirds of the war expenditure 
which he calculated for the year at 10 millions— would bo defrayed out 
of its extensions, tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer Intimated that hero 
Ills demands upon tho series of direct tuxes would terminate; for the 
remaining deficiency he should look to the consumer Passing to tho 
tuxes on which an augmentation was to bo i reposed, Mr. Gladstone 
mentioned first the Sim iht Duties in Scotland and Irklaku, On the 
first ho Intended lo levy an extra tax of one shilling a gallon, on the 
other nn extra tax of clglitpenoe a gallon These were to be Increased 
hy Is. per gallon and were expected to produce an additional revenue 
of £400,000. Secondly, he intended to propose a readjustment of the 
Sue. a n Duties, making tho umount equal upon all sugars, lire- 
speetive ol their origin, nud fixing the tariff ut 1 Is., 12s., Ms., 
and 16s. per cwt. upon the various qualities of the articles This would 
give him an increase of about £7"0,000. Thirdly, lie proposed to 
increase the mult tax, from 2s. 9d. to 4s per bushel, from which he 
hoped to derive £2,150 000. This sum made up Die gross total of 
required revenue namely, £6 850,000. As £3,307,000 of additional 
taxation hud already been sanctioned, while, on Ibc other bund, 
reductions Involving an amount of £1,171,000, and which WTQ enacted 
In 1853, did not tnke effect until the present year, the result would bo 
to create a net augmentation of tho public burdens of £8,083,000, 
Having brought tin- revenue into equality with tho expenditure, 
the Chancellor of tho Exchequer adverted to the prospective 
stale of the public cash account. The expenses of the 
war were rapidly accumulating, the system or account keep- 
ing was rundeicd much more prompt and accurate, and 
it was both Just and Intended to defray all charges, without 
allowing every department to bu Involved In the chaos of arrears and 
debts which had in former wars occasioned so much embarrassment 
nud cost. The demand, accordingly, must long precede the supply, 
especially ns it was Impossible to reckon upon a larger amount than 
ubout £2,840,000 as realisable during the current financial year. To 
supply tiie Immediate pressure he proposed to issue Interim bills, ne- 
covding to a scheme which he described nt some length, whoso chief 
features cousin: cd in creating four millions of Exchequer Bonds, and 
twu millions of Exchequer Bills, w ith power to enlarge the latter to 
tho amount that the applications for. the bonds might happen to fall 
short. By such aid he calculated that the government could pay all 
charges, and leave themselves a mar. in of millions of cash in the 
Exchequer. The speech of the tight lion, gentleman, which lasted 
precisely three hours iind a half, was listened to with great attention 
by a crowded house, and was greeted with considerable cheering nt tho 
close. 
The formal resolutions embodying the propositions ofthe Chancellor 
of the Exchequer having been put from the chair, 
Mr. Dlsruoll could not consent to vote a series of resolutions which 
had not been properly discussed. 
The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained that the step was ac- 
cording to precedent, iudcod enjoined by necessity. If the revenues 
were not empowered, by a resolution of the House, to 1 vy the duties 
according to the new scale, as soon as tho plan obtained publ city, vast 
quantities of tho commodities in question w ould bo hurried out ot bond, 
and perhaps a wholo year's produce of the tax would be lust to the 
revenue. 
Some further explanation resulted in the understanding that the 
vote to bo then passed Implied no pledge on any side ; Monday next 
was afterwards fixed by Lord. John Russell for discussing the whole 
question. 
The resolutions relating to the increased taxes on incomes, sugar, 
spirits, and malt were then passed. Upon the resolution for autho- 
rising the Issue of the Exchequer Bonds, some considerable “ talk" oc 
ourred, hut ultimately the resolution was agreed to. 
Tho Hau e then resumed. 
The resolutions passed by the Committee of Supply on the previous 
Friday were reported to the House, and successively agreed to. 
The County Courts Extension Act Amendment Bill, and the Boun- 
dary Survey (Ireland) Bill, were respectively read a third time, and 
passed. 
Mr. Drummond moved for a select committee to Inquire into the 
present m nagoment and condition of the c own forests in England. 
The resolution was . greed to. 
Sir J. Graham moved for leave to Introduce two bills for the en- 
couragement of Seamen ; and for facilitating the payment of tho navy 
and the distribution of prize, bounty, uml salvage monies among the 
officers and crews of her Majesty's ships of war. The measures would 
contain some modifications of the scale under which prize money was 
to bo distributed, designed s . as to favour the seamen. 
After some conversation, leave was given, and .he bill brought in. 
sir .1 Shelley moved for certain returns of tho titles, weights, &c , 
of newspapers, somo pardon of whoso publication was issued without 
stumps. 
The motion was resisted hy Mr. Ilayter, on tho ground that tho 
Inland Revenue office had no meuus of furnishing a complete or accu- 
rate return. 
A division took ptucc, when the motion was negatived by a majority 
of 52 to 3« — 10. 
Tho House adjourned at a quarter to 12. 
TUESDAY.— Lords,— Lord Campbell moved the second reading of 
the hill to prevent unauthorised negotiations with foreign Powers, 
lie quoted Urollus and Burke to show thut, by the law of nations, 
Intercourse betw een Independent States could ouly be carried on by 
ministers and nmbawulors duly authorised by their respective sove- 
reigns; but the municipal law was defective In this respect; for what 
was done abroad In the way of unauthorised negotiations there was 
no remedy by Die law of England ; and he suggested that we should 
do well lo follow the example of tho law of the United Stute*, which 
punished such offences, upon conviction, by fine and imprisonment. 
He did not propose, however, to go to this extent. The present Mini- 
ster of the United States in this country hud Informed him thut the 
law had worked admirably, llo admitted, however, that the example 
of America would not ho sufficient to guide us, unless we had suffered 
Inconvenience from this evil. When Mr l’ltt wished to check the 
ambition ofthe Empress Catherine of Russia In 1793, and huff prepared 
au armament for the purpose, bis designs were frustrated by the Impro- 
per interference of the opposition. Addresses had been presented from 
societies In this country to the National Convention of France, at tho 
commencement of the revolutionary period, exciting the French to mal e 
war against our allies. For these offences the law- provided noremedy 
In the year 1848. a deputation, headed by Mr Smith O'Brien, wailed 
upon M. Lamartine, who represented the then governing powers of 
France, praying Fiance to interfere by armed force for the establish, 
incut of independence In Ireland The next case to which he alluded 
was that of the address presented by Nir James Duke to Louis Napo. 
leon, praying him to continue at peace with this country: and the last 
was Diat of the deputation of Quakers who went to pay homage to the 
Czar Nicholas, lie admitted that In these cases the motive was harm- 
less; hut w ith respect to the deputation to St. Petersburg.* he said it 
had been attended with grave inconveniences. It was. therefore, time 
to prevent the recurrence of such proceedings Having anticipated 
and answered several objections to legislation in such cases, and 
quoted prec edents, ho mentioned Ills willingness to refer the bill to a 
select committee. 
Lord Lyildhurst, in objecting to the bill, denied that hy the law of 
nations it was Illegal for Individuals belonging to one State to have 
Intercourse with the Government of another State. He specially ob- 
jected to the general powers ofthe bill — first, as oalen nted to prohibit 
the Intercourse of Roman Catholics with the See and Court of Rome- 
and next, that it would tend to restrain all intercourse, even that of a 
commercial character, with foreign State*. Incidentally, the noble 
and learned lord stated, that Die bill as it stood would, had |t been 
lav, have subjected to the penalties of a misdemeanour the deputation 
who Interceded nt Florence on behalf of the Madial Nor could nnv 
such difficulties be overcome hv the expedient of u license from tho 
Secretary of State; and lie denied that the act of Die Congress of tho 
United States, to v icli allusion had been made, had any resemblance 
whatever t» Hie proacn hill. 
The Earl of Shaftesbury, Rai l of lillonboruugh. Bishop of Oxford, 
I.o|M Beaumont, Enrl of Abe deoil. Marquis of Clanilcurde, and Lord 
Binugltam having spoken. Lord Campbell replied, and the bill was 
read a second lime and referred to a select committee. Adjourned. 
Con llo - s -The report of tho Committee of Ways and Meuo6was 
brought up, mid Die first resolutions wore agreed to. 
The resolution for the increase ofthe mult-tag being read, 
Mr. Edward Ball proposed to meet it with a direct negative, wlieu 
Mr Bcntlnck seconded Die amendment. and charged the Government 
with ha lug, In nil their llnuncl 1 measures, manifested towards lie 
landed Interest a hostility amounting to malignity. 
The Rouse divided, and Mr. Ball s amendment was rejected by 224 to 
43; majority for |Jio Government, R l- TJio announcement was loudly 
and repeatedly cheered on Die Ministerial side. 
The resolution was agreed to, as were the remaining resolutions. 
Mr. Addcrloy moved qn address, praying that her Majesty would re. 
consider the order in council for the promulgation, Oil or before the 1st 
of August nex , of a proclamation abandoning and renouncing nil 
sovereignty over tlie Orange Hlvor territory and tts Inhabitants H c

Mr, T. Dunoonibe, on account of the advanced hour, portioned for 
a fortnight 1 Is motion for a select committee to inquire into the ease 
ofthe operatives oi Preston. 
Mr. Hell obtained leave to bring in a bill to extend the rights 
onjoyed by the graduates of the University of Oxford and Cambridge, 
In respect to the practice of medicine, to the graduates of the Uni- 
versity of London. 
Mr. l’acke moved for leave to bring In a bill to relievo Dissenters 
from tho payment -of church rates in certain cases. 
Leave was given to bring In tho bill. 
Mr. l’igott moved for a select committee to inquire into the mode 
In which o edlonl relief Is administered in the different unions in 
England and Wales. 
The motion was agreed to. 
Mr. Digby Seymour moved for leave to bring a bill to moke fraudu- 
lent dealings with regard to bills of exchange felonious in certain 
cases, as suggested on n lute trial by Baron Altlerson. 
The Attorney-General said that any attempt to remedy tho serious 
evil in question would be a benefit to the community, and lie should 
certainly offer no opposition to the introduction of the measure. 
Leave was given to bring in the bill. 
Tho Militia Bill was rend a third time, and passed. 
11. o other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned. 
WEDNESDAY. -Commons -On tho motion for going into com- 
mittee on the Friendly Societies Bill. 
Sir. Duocombc suggested that a subject of the delicate and painful 
nature embraced by the bill, had better be referred to a select com- 
mittee. 
Mr. Bright coincided in this suggestion. 
Lord Palmerston assented to the proposal to refer the bill to a 
select committee, with tjio view of securing a satisfactory investigation 
on the subject. 
Further discussion followed, in the course of which some interchange 
of pointed observations between Lord Palmerston and Mr- Cobclen 
occurred, and ultimately the bill was referred to n elect committee. 
The second reading of the Hustings Expenses Bill was moved by 
Mr. Hume. 
Lord ralmerston opposed tlic bill. 
On division, tlie bill was rejected by 151 to 57 ; majority against 
It, 97. 
On the motion for going into committee on the Medical Practi- 
tioners' Bill. 
Lord Palmerston expressed his opinion that the bill would be mis- 
chievous, though he considered that a system of registration would be 
advantageous to tlie profession and the public. A uniform system of 
education and a uniform test were wanted, but this bill put the cart 
before the horse. 
On division, the bill was lost liy 118 to 69; majority against it, 49. 
In Committee of Ways and Meuns, 
Mr Wilson moved a resolution making the duty on sugar required 
for brewing purposes correspond with the duties which had been 
passed with respect to other sugai-s agreed to, and the Huusc adjourned. 
THURSDAY — Lords.— 
THE EXPEDITION TO T1IF. EAST. 
The Enrl of EUcnborough complained of the enormous expenses in- 
curved by the Government in the transport of troops and horses to 
Turkey. In 1808 a larger number of troops were conveyed to the 
Peninsula, at a cost which was £1 000,000 less than was now required. 
He also wished to know In what manner the Government intended to 
pay the soldiers in Turkey, os ho understood that the English currency 
was there very greatly depreciated. He likewise inquired what 
measures were to be adopted in Turkey for affording means for tho 
movements of an army. It was a very common, but u grievous error, 
that, when tho troops were landed, the commanding officer could move 
them wherever he pleased, or wherever the exigencies of the war re- 
quired them. 
Tho Duke of Newcastle said there was no Indisposition on the part 
of the Government to give every information consistent wth the public 
service, but It was impossible for him to go uito all Dio details men- 
tioned by tho noble enrl, for to do so would be to give a great ad- 
vantage to the enemy, without doing any good to this country. Tlie 
reason why several transport vessels had not left before wus a total 
Inability to get them ready sooner, and not any want of preparation 
on the part of the authorities who were conducting Die operations, or 
delays by the officers or men who belonged to the different regiments. 
The Enrl of Malmesbury asked whether any official despatches had 
been received reluting to Die bombardment of Odessa. 
The Duke of Newcastle replied, that despatches that morning re- 
ceived from Admiral Dundas, would a peer in Friday's Oat ttt. and 
the Government would tnke care to keep the public informed, through 
the same channel, of any other intelligence of importance Hint might 
arrive. 
The Militia bill was read a first time, and ordered to be passed 
through all its remaining stages on Friday. 
The Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management Bill was read a 
second time. 
Some other business being despatched, their Lordships adjourned. 
Commons— W ith regard to soldiers wives, Colonel llarcourt was in- 
formed by Mr. Balnea that there was nothing in the law, ns il now 
stands in the order of the Poor Law Board to, prevent any Board or 
Guardians in England and Wales giving out-door relief to Die destitute 
wives and families of soldiers, sailors, and marines, ami ho might 
state that the same authority was applicable to the destitute wife 
ami children of militia men. , 
Mr. Floyer asked If the authority applied to destitute wItcb without 
children. 
Mr. Baines replied in the affirmative. . . 
Colonel Harcouvt asked w hether six women per company, being the 
number who, with their families, arc by the regulation of the arm) 
permitted to embark with their husbands on foreign sorviec, 'he Go- 
vernment will object to grant to those ot that number who have been 
p evented from going out on the pn sent occasion by tlie exigencies p 
the service, tho same n lowunee of half rations for the women a" 
qiturter rations loi the children, w hich they would have had if they no 
gone out. 
Mr. 8. Herbert said, in the caso of every application that had l,et 
mad© to him, be had caused an arrangement to bo»uiado lor tlie lwue 
rations, but be had pot issued any general circular on tlie sqbteci, - 
cause In most cases It reqoircd the discretion of tit© commanding
