London, April 15.

The annual budget was submitted to the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It shows that the Burplus receipts over expenditure for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1875, was £593,833. The expenditures for the current fiscal year are estimated at £75,268,000, and the revenues at £75,685,000, leaving a surplus of £417,000. The chancellor stated that these estimates are liable to be affected, by supplementary estimates in connection with Irish education measures and other matters. The only change in taxation he proposes is in the re-adjustment of brewers' licenses and stamp duties, through which he expects the surplus will be reduced 'to £357.000. Mr Childers objected that the estimates were too finely drawn, and he anticipated a deficit. The Treasury budget includes the following plan for the reduction of the public debt:—The charge on account of the debt for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1876, is estimated at £27,215,000. This charge is to be gradually increased until it amounts to £28,000,000 in 1877, at which , figure it shall permanently remain. The

yearly overplus which is not required for the payment of the interest shall be applied to the redemption of the debt.

Boulogne-stjr-Mer, April 11. Paul Boynton, clothed in his life-saving apparatus, started from Dover, England, at three o'clock yesterday morning, with the intention of journeying through the water to the coast of France. He went along hopefully, and at the hour of six o'clock in the evening was five miles distant from Cape Griz-niz, the nearest point of the French shore, lying opposite to that of Britain at South Foreland. The weather was what the sailors term " dirty," and the darkness prevented the steamtug which accompanied Boynton going closer to the shore. The people on the steamer were assembled in council, and after due deliberation, it was decided to take Mr Boynton on board, which was done. He was not fatigued, and his clothing, which was worn under the marine dress, was dry. The temperature of his body was lowered one degree. His pulse was at eighty. He had been fifteen • hours in the water, and had traversed a distance of fifty miles, the pilot having taken a wrong course. The physician stated, as his professional opinion, that Boynton could have remained in the water six hours longer. His failure is attributed to a change of wind and the delay in starting, whereby he missed favorable tide, and was compelled to struggle with the current from ten until one o'clock, making no progress, and barely maintaining his position. The piloting also was defective. The Queen and the Lord Mayor telegraphed their congratulations. The reporters publish a joint declaration that Boynton's desistance was solely due to their remonstrance because of the increasing darkness and roughness of the channel. He fully proved his power to succeed under ordinary circumstances. London, April 27. Paul Boynton will make a second attempt to swim across the Channel.
