Report of tlic Minister of Finnnee on tlie
Lute Hnld—Preparation* for the Fnture.
OTTAWA, C; W., June 27.—The Finance
Minister brought down 1 lie budget last nigbt.
The expenditure for the past year amounts to
$12,100,000, of which $270,000 were applied
to the reduction of the public debt. The ex
penditures include all the charges incurred on
account of the Fenian raid.
The customs have realized over $1,000,000
in excess of the previous year; imports, excess
$8,500,000; exports, excess $0,000,000.
The whole trade of the Province has in
creased $18,000,000.
The expenses incurred in consequence of
the Fenian raids amounted to $1,100,000.
J he Finance Minister alluded to the effec
tual manner in which the United States Gov
ernment had dealt with the Fenians, but said
that the Fenian snake was "scotched," not
killed. The duty of the Province was to be
m a position more effectually to repel aggres
sors. Consequently, instead of the $50,000
heretofore asked for militia purposes, the sum
of $1,500,000 was placed in the estimates.
In consequence of the abrogation of the
Reciprocity Treaty it becomes imperative to
rearrange the customs. The estimated falling
off in revenue is $1,000,000. In order to
supply the deficiency the following is proposed:
To raise the duty on spirits from 30 to 60
cents per galloni'to raise the customs' duty on
whisky and brandy, to the specific standard of
70 cents a gallon; to levy a duty on Indian
corn and coarse grain from the States of 10c.
per bushel: to levy a duty on (lour coming
from the States of 50 cents a bbl; to abolish
the free ports of Gaspc and Saut stc Marie; to
raise the duty on tea from 0 to 12
cents per lb; to impose an export d'atv on saw
logs of 25 cents per standard log; to chance the
method of levying duty, which will hereafter be
levied n the accumulated charges at the port
of shipment; to reduce the duties on sugar to
Lie English standard, viz: refined sugar. $3
Per 100 lbs.: white clayed, s2.Bo:,yellow Mus
covado and brown clayed, $2.22, and other
sugars, $1.(5; to make the duty on cane juice
51. 50 per gallon, and molasses $1 per gallon;
to impose a duty of 10 cents per gallon on
wine in wood, not over 26 degrees of proof
spirits, and 25 cents per gallon on wine con
taining 26 degrees of proof spirits; on wine in
bottles, except sparkling wine, $1.20 per
dozen: on genuine sparkling wine, §3 per
dozen; the duty on coffee j s reduced, and
there is a general reduc' uon of the dutieß on
manufactured goo£ s 0 f a bout 5 per cent,
lliese changes g 0 into effect at once. On the
more strie' t ,y financial question, Mr. Gait an
n°un'_,;(] |j ul t the Government had to provide
.'.ir over $5,000,000, to raise which they pro
posed, instead of going to England, to issue
legal tender notes to that extent.

FAMILY TRAGEDIES.—It seems that murders of
entire families are becoming frightfully numerous in
the United States. Fifsi wo bad tne Peering tragedy
near Philadelphia, and tho Deerfield murder iu Ten
nessee. the perpetrators of which had a remarkable
resemblance to each other —the shuffiiog gait, the
light hair, the boyish countenance, and even the ab
sence of the thumb of tho right hand. Then was an
nounced the tragedy in Y'ork county; and then the
murder of a father and sou in Arkansas; and now
we have in West Baden, Orange county, Indiana,
the murder of a family of four persons, killed to
prevent their testifying against their murderer, who
was soon to be tried for arson. In this latter case
tho murderer has been arrested, but even arrests and
convictions and executions do not seem to prevent
tho occurrence of these terrible family butcheries,
the mere description of which is almost to horrible
for belief.
On, AFLOAT.—We learn that a very large number
of barrels of oil have been tumbled into the river at
Burning Springs, since the rain on Saturday night,
for the purpose of being floated to this point. Some
have estimated the number at a very high figure.—
Ono gentletnaD told us ho had 7UO barrels in tho

THK POSITION- OF THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT,
which was realty excellent two months ago, is now
considerably changed. Not only is public opinion in
Europe against Count Bismark, but ho will not even
be able to reckon on the Prussians. The Democratic
party, which a few ni nths ago committed the fault
of back in r the vioftnt policy of tho haughty Pre

petitions have been sent to the King, praying no will
maintain peace. Almost every day the troops are

WAR P< lu LAR IN A USTRIA AND IT AL Y.
A war which is feared in Prussia, France and Eng
land is, however, hailed with delight in Austria .and
Italy.
Ji: \ ienna vengence to Prussia is vowed from tho
palace to tho hovel. In Florence the crv is Murto ol
Tcdcsro, (death to the German). The Italia: sare pre
pared to meet every sacrifice to get rid of the
ffer and thepricst. The reactionary party and the
Bourbons are <aking advantage of tho movement to
raise their heads.
The Itali an government is taking the mo-1 rigorous
measures to crash tho partisans of tho fallen house,
and almost recalls the reign of terror in France. The
dungeons aro full of prisoners, and even the convents
and barracks are turned into prisons.
Aftor many hesitations, arib ildi has loft bis Is

Cowo, organizing the bands of volunteers, and it

present. We shall soon see tho
HORRORS t>F WAR.

On motion of Mr Brown, it was resolved that the

SHIP CANAL.
On motion of Mr. Clowe, the bill to authorize the
construction of a ship canal around the Fall- of Ni

pation of mineral lands was then resumed.
The bill having been read three times was passed.
The reading of the bill laid aside was then pro
ceeded with.
Before the reading was concluded, Mr. Sherman
moved to postpone the further consideration of the
bill until tho first Monday in December. The canal
would cost six millions, and its construction was con
tingent on the consent of the Stale of New York, anu
that should bo first obtained.
Mr. Sumner asked f tho consent of New York was
necessary ?
Mr. Sherman said it was required by a provision of
tho bilk
Mr. Howe argued against a postponement. This
was n matter which concerned tho whole country,
and Congress oeght not to wait for the consent oi a
State Legislature.
Mr. Guthrie entertained no doubt.as to tho right of
the Government to build a ship canal for The na
tional defence, but wns not so certain of the rich: of
Congress lo grant tho power to a company to con
strict tho work.
It was of far more importance that tho South

relations.
Mr. McDougal favored the present consideration
of the subject.
Mr. Howard hoped it would not he postponed.
Mr. Wade strongly advocated the passage of the

.Mr. Trumbull then addressed the Senate on the
pending bill, advocating its ? assnge as a measure ot
greit importance to tho North and Northwest and
the whole country. It was not to depend on the con
sent of the State of New York.
Mr. Sumner said tho time had come for them to
assert the independence of the National Government
over the State* in these matters. He hoped the
Senate would voto down the proposition to make
this contingent on the consent of New York.
Mr Creswell, by unanimous consent, introduced
the following: wli oh was referred to the Committee

that the amount awarded upon said assessments, if

Mr. btowart advocated the passage of the hill as a
great public measure. The building of this canal
would develop our immense national resource*.
Mr. McDougal 1 said this company were willing to
otnbark their capital in the enterprise, and there
should be no hesitation on the pari of the Govern

THR TARIFF.
Oo motion of Mr. Mortill, of Vermont, tho House
resolved itself into Committee of tho Whole on the
bill. No. 71*. to provide iucr'-ased duties from im
ports, commonly known a* the tariff bill.
ifeMr. Morrill briefly addressed tho House on tho bill,
premising that the Home would not desire to hear a
long speech this hot weather. He proceeded to show
ibat tho war had caused a great drain on the labor M
tho c un'rv in the loss of at 'out two hundred and
fifty thousand athletes. It would take a long time to
regain this 1 sa.
iio next proceeded to look at the condition of the
currency and it* relations to labor, and footed up
the amount ia eirculatio i as follows: Legal tenders.
*|Ol,MO,000; national hank notes, $208,000,090: State
batik notes, $4*,000.()(l0; fractional currency, $27,' (*O,-
000: compound interest m>t*'s, $159.000, r OO. uiakir g i
total of .t>917,0 0,000! lie did not cite this as a re
proach to tho Government or the people, but as a
mor.etrou* fact. At toe time Leo and Johnson sur
rendered the rebel* would have accepted any tonus
from the Government, and submitted to any pun
ishment for their treason butexput rial ion. But that
time bad passed. So a yea-* a-o the transition from
paper to specie payments was an easy matter. The
goal was then noa ly reached, but the opportunity
passed, and we were now further off than ever from
specie payments.
Mr. M. then cited the reasons why there should be
a revision of the tariff :ii this * ime On w.-01, for in
stance, tho duties under the present tariff were so
light that, if continued, the American wool-grower
would have to aba don hi* business, for he cotiid not
compete with tho South American wool. A higher
tariff wag reeded also from the startling amount of
imp r ■ which would reach $419,000,000 for the fiscal
ye if jii.-t eliding. The product .f gold from Califor
nia, from the Ist of May to Juqo 1, was :
while from she single pon of New York a10ne836,-
(■•00,000 of gold were exported in the same time.
When enn wo ever resume specie payment, he would
ek, with such r.n exco*:? in the outward flow of gold
continui g?
-In this view alone, there was urgent need fir a
revision ot the.tariff, lo adjourn without legisla
tion on ibis great question would bo a calamity. The
manufacturers had wade mon'-v during the war, but
they were not dmug it now. They pai l their work
men almost as much fir a day s labor now as a ton
of foreign iron cost. Mr. M. proceeded to show that
the manufacture of so simple a thiner a* eyelets ai d
the manufacture of hoop skirts had exceeded stveral
m llions of dollars. Salt was one of the most neces
ry articles needing protection. In concln ling Mr.
Morriii said, that the revision of the tariff by this
l ill was merely temporary, and wa* needed, aside
from the reasons stated by the repeal of the Reci
procity treaty.
Mr. Mo rehcad, of Pennsylvania, made an ex
phmati' u with regard to his views of the duty of fifty
cent* a ton on bituminous c-ul. lie desired the old
tariff of $1.25 a ton on bituminous coal, but in order
to ai 1 the > ew Kngiand manufacturers he was will
ing to allow thciu to get their coal from tho Nova
Scoli i colonies.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, briefly addressed the
Ilouseonthe bituminous coal tax, and oppostd it,
though regarding the bill as a very perfect one in
other respects.
Mr. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, gave notice
ihat when the bituminous coal section came up in
the bill, he desired to gubinic some remarks.
All general debate was closed, and the bill was
road by sections ior amendm nts in Committee of the

sectio ' relating to the duty on wool, by a mending so
as to place n du'y of 25 instead of 12 cents a pound
on woolen rags, inuago, shoddy and wa-te.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, opposed the increase.
Mr. Morrill said the duty of 12 cents wac, three
times more than under the present law.
After further debate the amendment and other
proposed changes of the duty were rejected.
The committee then rose aQd the House at 4.30 P.

CITY NEWS.
NEW AND IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.— Since the
passage of an ordinance by the Mayor and C'ily
Council prohibiting bono mills, etc., within the city
limits, a number of gentlemen, most of whom wero
practically engaged in the manufacture of fertilizers,
have organized a stock corporation, under thenaiue
and style of "The Baltimore City Fertilizing Manu
facturing Company." This company embraces
amongst its members men of amplewealth and great
business experience, and have commenced opera
tions with capital sufficiently abundant to guarantee
the accomplishment of its purposes. It has estab
lished works upon Colgate's Creek, six miles from
tho city by water, upon a water front of eight hun
dred feet, and has already erected two ample wharvc,
one for receipt of raw material, and the other for
discharges of manufactured articles. A bridgo sixty
feet, long by twenty-Ore in width, Ins been con
structed, wide enough for a railroad track,and with
ample room for storage purposes, which beingroofed,
will answer for a warehouse as well as for a bridge.
A largo mi l house for mashing and poundiug bones
has beon erectod, and Messrs. Poole & Hunt are now
engaged in fitting it, tip with the necessary steam
onginec- and machinery, made at their works. Dry
ing sheds and eomposit pits have been provided f.r
the transmutation of night soil and garbage into a
merchantable commodity. The company has con
tracted with tho Mayor and Health Commissioner in
accordance with the provisions of a recent ordinance,
to carry away all the garbage, night, soil, dead stock,
etc., from the city to tho works on Colgate's Creek,
and will thereby not only contribute to the health
and cleanliness of the city, but take the offal and
rofase which contain the elements of disease within
then, and by chemical combination transform tbcm
into articles of use to the agriculturists. In order
to comply with its city contract, the fertilizing
company has provided itself with six largo deck
scows, two of them uewly built by Messrs. Abra
hams & Bro„ and four of them purchased at
Richmond and now en their way to this city.
Theso scows aro sixty-two feet long by twenty in
width, fitted up with rai'road tracks upon the dock,
upon which cars will he placed for the reception of
stock. To facilitate delivery of the slock at the
works, an inclined plane laid with tail has been
constructed, a steam engine, at the upper end of
which is now in course of erection, will work aii end
less chain, to which the cars will be attached to be
drawn up and emptied. It it further proposed to
ercot lime kilns and burn oyster shell lime at these
works, and tho company will avail itself of the best
scientific RFri.-taneo tn produce plentifully and
cheaply'all kindt of fertilizers to supply the demand,
which ia constant and increasing. From eight to ton
tenant houses are to bo erected for the hands em
ployed. and in the course of a few weeks the upper
end of Coligato'a creek will present unite a village
like appearance.
Ax INTERESTISO CASE OK ELOPEMENT.— Some time
in March last a gentler,mu residing in the eastern
section of the city started for Europe, and left be
hind him his wife, a woman about SO years of age,
and of rather prepossessing appearance, who, though
requested so to do, refused to accompany her hits
band on his foreign tour. On Monday and Tuesday
of this week the wife succeeded in procuring from
different banks in the city money, coupons, Ac.,
which had been deposited in both her and her hus
h md's name, to the amount of e,bout $4,600, and a
check for about $1 100. On Tuesday tho faithle
wife started on a trip North, in company with a for
mer colonel of a New York cavalry regiment, with
whom she hail become acquainted somo time vine
in this ciry . The brother c.f her husband, in compan
with a brother of the faithless wife, started in pur
suit of tho clopii.g couple, and succeeded in overta
king ihem at the depot in York, Pennsj Ivania. The
wife, after some reluctance, returned to the home o!
her brother, in Adams county, Pa., hut the colonel,
who had tho valuables in his possession, escaped
and has since net been heard from. IV idle in York
they stopped at tho National House, where tho colo
nel left S6OO in posses don of the clerk, and which is
held by the latter until tho matter ia settled, r.a he
gave his receipt for the amount. The amount
therefore taken by the defaulting colonel ia about
SI,OOO, the payment of the check having been stopped.
The husband is expected to rc-torn iu a few weeks.

IMPROVEMENT AT TIIH COURT HOl4lE.—'Tho Cit;
Council having passed an ordinance for the removal
of the wall r- uitd that part of the court her: a
fronting on Calvert and Lexington streets, in order
to fit up the basement of the building for pub;s
offices, the work of excavation is ra- idly progress
ing. It is staled that a number of offices can be
made by this change, which, when rented out, wis
pay a handsome-um to tho city, though It isgonemi!;.
conceded that the removal of tbe wall will in a mea
sure spoil the appearance of tho buildir cr. An ob
jection to its removal is also urged on account i l
its doing away with the place generally used fn
the holding of public meetings, and which is c
ceded to he the most suitable place for that pnrpos,
within the limits of the city. It is urged on tho part
of thoso in tavoroftho removal that the appear
ance of the buil 'ing will ba equally as good as form
erly, and that, by the placing of iron railing in front
of tbo court house, that public meetings ertn bo hc!s
as usual. There seems to be considerable interest
manifested in reference to the propriety of making
tho proposed change.
A HOUSE BROKEN Ixro ASH ROBBED.—On Tues

clothing, .itc. Tho thieves effected an entrance l y
first climbing over into the yard and then goicq
down into the cellar, and, by the use of a "jimmy,"
forced their way up into the house. They thc-i
forced open doors, drawers, Ac., completely ran
sacking the premises, taking with tbcm about SSOO
worth of property. They made good their cscap:
with tho booty, and have nos as yet been appre
hended, or the property recovered. '• ho thieves left
the irstrnmcnt used by (hem in accomplishing their
purposes behind, which has been plae d in iho han-N
of the police. IVhen tbe family returned from the
enjoyment of the day, they found their dwelling i;
one mass of confusion, doors burs'cd open, carpets
and flooring lorn up, Ac. It is hoped, for the wet

yet meet with the demands of justice.
