GREECE AND THE lONIAN INLAND& The Earl of ILkLYESBIJRY then rose, powsuit to notice, to inquire whether the noble earl at the heed of Foreign Affairs. before he ensured the Greeks that Prinoe William would accept the throne if elected, bad pre viously consulted Prince Christian and the King of Denmark Be also wished to know whether her Majesty's government bad say intention of mating the lonian lolanda, and above all, the 'thud of Corfu. He would not argue this point at this tiros on English grounds, except that, in answer to ea obserration which was made on a former occasiou in the house, that one Mediterranean port wee sufficient for us, he would aurae that we could sot oontiaue to be • first-rate maritime power V we had bat one port in the Mediterranean. But be thought the cession of the lonian Islands would be an evil to the Greeks themselves. In order that the Greeks might prosper, it wee requisite that the Greeks should pursue a prude' policy, but the possession of the fortrem of Oorfa and of the lonian Islands might induce them to pursue a policy of aggression which would be a great mis fortune to them, and might endanger the peen of Europe. Fad RUSSELL said he could not give any 'sewer in lapel* to those points which were now the subject of nego tiation, which might be settled in a short time, but were not settled now. The people of Greece bad declared that they would no looser live ander King Otho. That was a matter in which they were the judges, said with which we had nothing to do. Her Majesty's government bad frequently told likely f t ) , i , ho th a t led t the man ome ca ner t i m n wh ich i be w and tht l yVd en' elp pg re:Xd the • to the court of Bavaria, but that opinion was dieregar, and not acted upon. King Otho withdrew from the throne. The noble earl had stated that the people of Greene had not shown the same wisdom he their revolution that the people of France did. But they destined in the first place that they would be no longer radar the government of King Otho, and in the next piss that tray would have a constitutional mo narchy. He did not think there was any want d wisdom in that. Their next step was to elect a king. Her Majesty's government had proposed to the Raglan government that neither Prince Alfred, nor the Duke of Lenehtenberg, nor any of the reigning family of France should arcept the throne of Greece. but the Russian goesrumeut refired tonne to that proposition. It wee pot. thee, far her Majesty's government, not having proposed Prince Alfred, to say that they would themselves interfere in the election. The result was that the Greeks, in electing Prince Alred„ had a point of unity among them whisk pressed them from anarchy. When the proper time came they, to conjunction with the other powers, declared that the protocol of MO was still in force, and that therefore Prince Alfred could sot awed the throne of Greece. What was the next occurrence ? Her Ma jesty's sweetmeat, having rejected trawl/we of the Greek people, thought they . were bound to consult certain princes se Europe who were is favour of conatitutional government as to whether they were willing to Wows candidates for the vacant throne. The noble earl had rightly supposed that in more than one instance they were not einionsful in itidocieg the prises thus applied to to become candidates. It wee surasted that Prises William, the emend son of Prince Christian of Denmark, would be lately to be a candidate, and would be raceptable to the Greeks, and he directed her Majesty's m ini at Copenhagen to rat whether the Rimy of Den sest would give his sweat, and he said if Prince Christian did opt object he should sot. What were the particular queatione put to Pries Cluirtius it wee eel for him to say sow, because they won the ethjeet of negotiatioos which were not ended, bit when these nsseggootiations were over he would lay the eereeepenaepee on the table of the boas, and the house would then be able to see whether he had doss anything undignified or which was unworthy other Mejesty'sgoveremeekor anything which was rabeciondsr the minister of a constitutio nal country. On being told that the Kist of Denmark would place not obstacles in the way if Prince Christian oconented, this was oonunneicated to the Greek Assembly, and ewer member of the seem* stood up and declared with acclamation that Prince William should be acksowledged as King of Greece. But with regard to the terms on whirls Pries Christian and hie erre would agree that the son should weeps the throne, those were matters between the National Assembly of Greece and thew prisms. and to be dealt with in the next place by the three protecting powers, parties to the treaty grarentesing the Unitary of Greece. That, of course, was a matter of negotiation ; but he certainly enter tained a hope that that negotiation might have • eatisfsetory termination. He entirely aped in what the noble earl mid as to its being the laterest of Greece to follow a peace ful policy. He believed that the happiesse of Greece de. peoded on their abstenticiefropeen ty ve policy,and that if they peened a good kw the tenure of land they would attain a degree of which they would sever attain if they were to veer to enlarge the boun daries of their country by having meows to • policy of ag gression. He had only to add that the choice of Prince William was supported by theßsperorof the French, and that the Emper,r of Russia, though he would not support him, would, on the other band, offer no opposition. la regard to the bean Islands, the sable earl spoke as if the island and hewer of Code were part of her Majesty's pos serape. Bat the wide .it knew well that by the treaty of 1818 the limbs Wands way eseststuted a tree republic under the preteetke of the Hiegel Great Britain, and Great Britain weepted that trust. At Oat time there was soother Greek nationality; bet in the some et time a revolution teak pleas Is Greco N which beim= an independent king dom, aad tress that time there hod bees an agitation in the loons lelade in favour of union with Greece; and be must say that it would not be becoming in the British go. vestment, with the principles which they profeised, to *impel the inhabitants of the lonian Islands to remain, war thew circumstances, under British protec ts'. What they propowd, therefore, to do was this— to awertera whether the lonian Islands wished to be united to Genera sad if they should formally declare that they did, then the representatives of the powers who were parties to the treaty el 1815 meld be called together and shed to hens a new treaty, by which the lonian Islaads should be. hug to Greene. Of entree if the lowan Islands were united to Greece, the forties of Corfu could not be kept fur the sole pmpos of being a fortress is the hands of England. If they determin on being united to Greece, he thought it would be beet for them to destroy the fortifications sect to devote thentesives to peaceful pursuits. He treated that if her Majesty's government bad by the course they bad pursued contributed to the happiness of Greece, if the Greek people should develop the mower of their *easily, if their maritime and commercial pursuits should be so successful se to make them rich and prosperous,—in that case England wield have muse to rejoice that there was another free and happy country la the world ensulatieg the example that she bad set. (Hear.) The Fart of DERBY considered that her Majesty's go vernment bad acted with peat both on the point of the candidature of Pries Atilt?, in promising the cession of lonian Islands epithet fi rs t i oonsulting the other pewees who wen parties Vi the treaty of 1815. Earl GRANVILLE mid the noble earl opposite could not show that her Majesty's government had in any way eneourerad the Greeks to suppose that Pnnoe Alfred would adopt t throe* of Green. It wee imporable not to keep the peopled Greece inheined of the negotiations, and doubt at ens time the negotiations with regard to trie s Duke d Ceram were very promising, and if it had 1104 been for the oppoeition of his own people he would =My hese aseepted the candidature.

The subjest then amp& DIRTROPOLITAN RAILWAY& • Lewd BYE &THERM inquired of her liajcstia rem meet what wares was proposed to be takes with regard to the Ludgate Station anti Junction Railways Bill. Berl GRANVILLE said be thought the whole subject had better be referred to the select committee the appoint ment of which he bad gives notice to move. The noble earl then moved that a select committee be appointed to inquire whether any, *nil, if any, which of theschemes now before parliament for the construction of how of railway within the limits of the ,netropolis, can be proceeded with in the present session without tie risk of interfering with r ail way um adoption of • comprehensive plea of metropolitan ail communication ; and to consider what provision can be made for the securing such • comprehensive system, with the greatest advantage to the public, and the haat inconve nience to the local arrangements of the metropolis. Lord REDEEDALE said the terse of reference were likely to lead to a much more lengthy investigation than the noble eurl seemed to imagine. The Earl of DERBY said the noble earl intimated that the committee was to be preliminary to a commission. Would it not be better to appoint the commissioe at once I Hie name was placed me the committee, but be wished it to be withdrawn. _ _ The motion arm then agreed to, and their lordship ad journed at ton minutes to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TRURSDAY, APRIL 16. The SPLIMER took the chair at 4 o'clock. At that time the attendance of hon. members was not large, but in the coarse of the next half hour the benches gradually tilled until Tery little space remained unoccupied.

(Hear, hear.) SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Mr. HORSFALL gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply on Friday week he should call the attention of the house to the seizure of the Alex soden et Liverpool—{cheers)—and should at the same time move for the production of all papers arid correepoodease connected therewith. ACCOUNT OF THE PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. Mr. HANKEY 'eked the Chancellor of the Exchequer 'Lather it would be possible, without public tient. vesienoe, to give an account of the income end expeditors of the country from a similar date, and es a supplementary account to the return at tin national debt from the year 1691, and which was presented to the house on the 11th May, 1857. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER maid that in sneerer to his boa. Mead he would MINT to state that it would be practicable to give an account of the income and expenditure of the country from the date, or from about the date, to which hie boa friend referred. Bat that sci entist had to be collected oat of a greed variety of deco masts, and although the return, when made, would be of eaetidnahle iatereet and such as would amply justify the labour expended in preparing it, yet that labour most be of a very serious character, and must occupy considerable tints. He thought, however, that the document would be ow 41 Jest historical value when it should have been 00111 ALLEGED POLICE ESPIONAGE AT LIVERPOOL. Lard R. CECIL begged to uk the right hon. hermit the Home Secretary a question of which he had given him private notice—whether there was any truth in the report that by his authority spies had been appointed at Liverpool to attend upon the persous—(cheers)—of those who were supposed to be Confederate agents, to watch yards, private dockyards, and see whether any materials could be collected for the benefit of the Federal embassy. Also, whether them neesenne, if they had been taken, had been in oppo. milieu to the wishes of the Mayor and Watch Committee of Liverpool ; and if so, under the authority of what act of parliament? and out of what fund the right hoe. teroost proposed to defray the expeoses of these measures? Sir G. GREY—Ia reply to the mestion of the noble Iced, I beg to my that no spies have hoes employed at Liverpool. (Chem.) The facts are these : I reosived an official letter from the noble lord the Secretory of State of the Foreign-ofhoe not long ago, transmitting the copy of one which had been addressed to him by the United States Minister in this country, alleging that certain vessels which he earned were Stain oat and being equipped at Liverpool in vialatioe of the Foreign Enlistment Act. The Secretary of State re quested immediate inquiry to be made into the truth of the allegation. Accordingly I transmitted a copy of the noble lords letter to tee Mayor of Liverpool, totber„ with copies of one or two lateen which I had received eines from the Foreign-office, with similar instructions, and re quested him to muse inquiries to be made according to the terms of the Foreign Enlistment Act, whether these Teasels so named were being equipped, furnished, fitted oat, or armed, and with a view of being employed in the war mar ries of the so-called Confederate States. I presoribed no particular mode in which that inquiry should be instituted. his not for the Home-office to do so. The Mayor of Livemod informed me that be bad placed the matter in the ha•ds of the bead constable at Liverpool, and that the head con stable bad employed certain menthe's of the detective police of Liverpool to inquire into the alleged violation of the law. (Hoar, hear.) Ido not know any rewash why the detective police should not be employed in investigating breeches of the Foreign Enlistment Act, as much as in other mitten. (Hear, hear.) There is not, in my opinion, the slightest reason to suppose that the statentest which the noble lord has shown in me in • private letter, of bribery having been resorted to by the polio, in order to obtain reformation, is correct. I have no informative to lead me to suppose that that is true. Nor has the mayor in any communication which be has made to me intimated that there was any &area of opinion between himself and the watch oom =Mee es to the mode in which the inquiry was being oar. fled oat. _ _ DISEASES IN FOREIGN SHEEP. Mr. GRIFFITH gave notice that a Tuesday be would ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would lay ma the table the report of the com mittee on the diseases of sheep in foreign acentric& (Load laughter.) CASE OF LEWIS FRANCIS. Colonel NORTH gave notice that on Friday (this day week) he would call the attention of the house to the return laid on the table on the 20th of March relating to the ease of the attack made by Lewis Francis on one of the warders at the prima at Portland. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. SCULLY said that when the hoe. member for Dew:roped (Mr. Farmed) brought forward the motion of which he had given Douce, he (Mr. Scully) should move as an amendment that it was the duty of the government to take Immediate measures to extend the node of relief which had been adopted is Lancashire to remedy the &- tam now existing in Inked. (" Hear," and a laugh.) WAYS AND MEANS.—THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. ' The house having resolved itself into a committee of ways and mesas, The Cruttexixori of the EXCHEQUER brought for ward his financial statement. He said that the causes which had given peculiar interest to the financial statements of the last few years were not such as it was desirable should be permanent, as they resulted from unusual pressure on the national resources. A resolution had beenipassed bythehouse, that while it was necessary to provide for the de fences of the country the burden of taxation should be dealt with by the executive. His statement that night, therefore, would be not merely an ac count of the national reeourcos, buten answer on the part of the government to that resolution. Looking to the average expenditure of the years since 1868, it would be found that in that year it 11/11 64,164,0001. • in 1859-60 it was 69,562,0001., while in 1860-61 it was 72,842,0001., making an in crease of over 8,000,0001. from 1868 to that year. The average annual expenditure from 1869 to 1863, including the charge for fortifications ' was 71,196,0(101., or without the charge for fortifica tions 70,678,0001. It was necessary, in order to arrive at an exact knowledge of the actual expen diture of the country, to exclude certain items which in their nature did riot increase—namely, the interest of the national debt and the charge for the collection of the revenue. Excluding these items it would be found that the charge for the year 1858-59 was 31,621,0001.; for 1860.61, 42,125,0001., being an increase of ten million and a half u two years. Previous to the Russian war, that is in 1853.54, the actual char ge was 23,511 : 0001., while in 186041 it had risen to 42,125,0001 , being an increase in seven years of something ke 18, 000,000 f. He did not say that this increase was without reason or cause, having been called far by the public desire to strengthen the defenoes of the country ; and in 1860-61 there were actual war- THE- EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING; APRIL 17, 1863. charges which caused an increase in expenditure. It was certain that with the expenditure itself them grew up a spirit of expenditure which per vaded the country, and even extended to the ad ministrators of the public service. It was not on the part of the government that he made this statement ; all he had to say for the government was, that in making the increase in expendi ture, they certainly did not outrun, but rather fell abort of public opinion. The result was that the finances of the country had been kept in a state of tension for the last four years, and he would make the admission that this tension was occa sioned by the policy of the government. Coming to the consideration of the balance-sheet of the jeer, he drew attention to the mode in which the estimatesi were framed last year. He submitted the estimates last year with particular re serve, and presented an estimate of income and expenditure which just balanced each other, and this was done with reference to circumstances which might disturb, and that unfavourably, the balances. The estimates he now had to make were hopeful, but they must be taken with regard to special circumstances, such as the condition of Lancashire. Passing a glowing eulogy on the moral and social attitude of the people of those districts, he proceeded to dwell on the melan choly state of the material condition of Lancashire. The calculation with regard to that condition last year was founded on the supposition that the absence of manufacture might be taken at the point at which it then stood, but experience had shown that the price of cotton, which was then Bd. a lb., had now reached to 2e. a lb., and therefore the dis tress in Lancashire bad reached to a state of the utmost stringency, and it was with reference to the state of this the wealthiest part of the community and the most prosperous body of workmen in the county that the balance-sheet of the year had been prepared. Another cause of the depression was the distress in Ireland, of which he believed that the country had formed no adequate idea. The govern ment had received a statement of the agricultural position of Ireland. It referred to the crops of 1860-61 and 1862-63 as compared with the previous four years, namely, from 1856 to 1860. It appeared that the average value of the wheat, oat, and potato crops, and the live stock in Ireland, amounted from 1856 to 1860 to 39,439,0001 ; in 1860431 it was 34,893,0001. ; in 1861-62, it was 29,077,000/., showing a decrease of some ten millions and a half ; and in 1862-63, it amounted to 27,327,0001., or a decrease of twelve millions or one-third of the value of the agricul tural pr oducts of the country. These circumstances tended necessarily to diminish the general revenue, sad must be taken into account The revenue of last year was estimated at 70,108,0001., and the expenditure at 70,040,0001.; but the actual expenditure had amounted to 69,301,0001., making a difference of 1,301,0001. A comparison between the expenditure of former years and last year stood thus : in 1862-63 it was 69,301,0001. ; in 1861.62 it was 70,838,0001. ; in 1860- 61 it was 72,504,000/., being more than 3,000,0001. over that of last year ; and in 1859-60 it was 70,007,0001., being 715,0001. above that of last year. But this was not the real decrease, for in 1862-63 them was a charge of 1,100,0001. which ex isted, but did not appear in the estimates of pre vious years, so that the real decrease last year •waa, as compared with 1861-62, 2,621,0001. ' • with 1860-61 of 4,270,0001.; and w ith 1859-60, 1,840,0001. His estimate for the year was 70,790,0001., which had been subject to a drawback on the duty on hope ; and, taking that into account, the actual revenue was 70,603,0001., leaving a difference of 153,0001. between the estimate and the receipt. There had been an increase on the customs in the year of 484,0001. On the excise there had been a decrease in the estimate of 4185,000/., the prin cipal items of decrease being malt and spirits. In this there was nothing to compare, as these items were proofs of the depression in the condi tion of the working classes. Although the estimate on spirits had fallen short, yet, as compared with the three previous years, the falling off had not been so remarkable. As compared . with the pre vious three years, and taking the increase in the duty into consideration, there had been no essential falling off in the receipts of the duty while the illicitdistillation of last year had never been so small. Any falling off in this duty was also to be attributed to a change in the taste of the country for milder and leas inflammatory beverages. Comparing the revenue of last year with that which immediately preceded it, it would be found that in 1861-2 it amounted to 69,724,0001. gross, while deducting 1,747,000/. for certain items under the bead "mis cellaneous" and the China indemnity, the real amount was 67,927,0001. In 1862-63, the gross amount was 70,603,0001., from which 2,813,0001. was to be deducted for "miscellaneous" and China indemnity to make the net amount. In 1861-62 there were items in the income tax at 10d. in the ..und, and loss on paper and hops amounting to 1,0001. ,which must be deducted from the revenue of 1861. The result was that the net revenue in 188142 was 66,985,000/., and that of 1862-63, 67,890,0001., being an increase in the latter year of about 800,0001. The reductions which had taken place in customs' i duties had caused somechange, but in 1862-3 the re- I venue from that source was equal to that which it was four years ago, notwithstanding reductions in the tariff of over two millions. He now came to the estimate of expenditure and revenue for the ooming year. Including the charge for in terest on funded debt, consolidated fund, army and navy, and miscellaneous, which latter were not quite settled, the items of packet service, and contemplated conversion of stock, the total estimate of expenditure would be 67,749,0001. He had not included any estimate for fortifications, for which parliament had made other provision. His estimate of the revenue for the ensuing year was taken at 71,490,0001., in cluding 24,118,0001. from customs, 17,600,0001. from excise, and if he was asked why he estimated the return from this source at a greater amount than it prodrced last year, be would say that in last year it was subjected to the lose of the hop duty, while the corresponding duty on malt this year would be better than that of last year. Stamps were estimated at 9,000,0001., taxes at 3,160,0001., income tax at 10,500,0001., which, with Poet-office, crown lands, mis cellaneous, and China indemnity, made 71,490,0001., and the expenditure being estimated at 67,749,0001., there was a difference of 3,741.0001. It would probably be thought that the government should proceed to diminish taxation under these circumstances, and not speak of augmentation, but there were always anomalies in taxation to be removed. There bad already been a diminution in the tobacco duty. It was proposed to raise the duty on chicory so as to equalise it with that on coffee. He should propose to pass a resolution to that offset at once. It was an anomaly that liquors sold in clubs were sold without any license duty ; and it was proposed that clubs should pay the same duty on liquors as the keepers of hotels and coffee houses. (Great sensation.) It was intended that a person who arrived at the possession of a beer license through the medium of first taking a spirit license should pay the same duty as one who obtained it without that process. He should give a license at a charge of 11. to wholesale beer merchants to sell in quantities under two dozen bottles, or 44 gallons of beer. Carriers would be subjected to one-half the duty now paid by stage-carriage proprietors. Railway companies did not now pay any duty on excursion trains, while they paid 5 per cent. on ordinary traffic ; and it was proposed to do away with exemptions and to com mute the duty paid by railway companies to • general charge of 34 per cent. The duty on charitable legacies in Ireland would be assimilated to that in England. He pro posed to do away with the exemption from income tax of endowed charities, though it would be continued so far as buildings and sites were con cerned. The income of voluntary societies would not be in the least affected by the proposed change. It was calculated that this change would produce 75,0001. on the revenue of the present year, which, with other items, would be added to the surplus. The question then arose, what was to be done with that surplus ? The charge of a penny on packages on goods inwards, which was imposed in 1861, and which had proved inconvenient, would be dispensed with after the Ist July. With this stood the charge of is 6d. on bills of lading out- wards, smiths! would also cease at the same time. The revenue from these charges was 191,000!., the loss for the present year being 94,0001. Referring to the minor incomes subject to income tax, he stated that when that tax was first imposed by Mr. Pitt it touched incomes of 601. a year, but the full force of the tax was felt only on incomes of 2001., and that was the limit at which the full operation of the tax was then fixed. The limit was afterwards 1501. during its continuance as an impost, and Sir R. Peel revived it at that amount. In 1853, when the tax was renewed for seven years, the limit was taken downwards to 1001. a year. The real *ore in the working of the tax was with regard to iuoomes between 100/. and 2001. a year. It was proposed to retain the income of 1001 as the point at which a man was taxable, and to fix that of 2001. as the point when he should come under the full force of the tax, to remove the rate of 1601. altogether, and to allow the man in the receipt of an income between 1001. and 2001. to deduct 601. from his taxable income, which would largely reduce the amount of the tax on a pro raid scale. With re gard to the tea and sugar duties, it was thought advisable in dealing with them to choose one of them rather than to divide reduction between them. Reviewing the arguments in favour of reduction on both aides, he stated that he had come to the conclusion that the duty on tea should be reduced to la. a lb., which would take effect immediately after a resolution should be agreed to by the house on Thursday next, and the remission would come into operation on Saturday week. The duty would stand thus till 1861. The result would be that a diminution of revenue was estimated in the case of tea at 1,300,0001. As regarded the decrease in the revenue from the income tax consequent on the proposed change, if a decrease was to be made from 9d. and 7d. in the pound to 7d. and 6d., the loss would be 2,350,1. per annum, while by the relief to minor incomes there would be a loss of 1,300,0001. on the present year. It was proposed to make a reduction of 2d. in the pound on the general rate, and thus the whole remission of taxation on the year would be 3,340,0001., while the total remission, present and prospective, would be 4,601,0001 The surplus at his disposal, taking into account the additions to taxation which had been made, was 3,874,0001. ; and after the remissions above stated there would be left an actual surplus of 534,0001. With that surplus it was not proposed to part. In an elaborate review of the income and expenditure of the country in the last four years, the right hon. gentleman showed the state of the balances in the exchequer, and stated that be should move resolutions empowering him to pay Exchequer Bonds due next mouth out of the balances, although he should ask for powers to re-burrow the sum so paid off in. the course of the year, if necessary. He showed that in those four years 8,000,0001. bad been paid for war expeuditure in China, and the charge of the reconstruction of the navy had been met ; and this out of the ordinary resources of the country. Drawing attention to some statistics in reference to the trade of the country, he pointed out that there had been a very large increase in the consumption of paper. The imports of foreign paper had largely increased, but there had also been • great increase in the manufacture and export of British paper, while the import of rags bad been added to in more than an equal proportion. As regarded wine, there had been a small increase in the trade in Spanish wines, and a slight diminu tion in those of France and Portugal. Referring to the trade with America and France, he showed a decrease of 6,000,0001. in trade with the former, while in the case of France there had been an in crease of over 12,000,0001. He stated that in the nineteen years of the income tax, which was im posed for the purpose of assisting the development of the resources of the country by means of remission of taxes on the industry of the country, there bad been an extension of the wealth of the coun try amounting to 65,000,000/. of annual income. Drawing a powerful comparison between the financial position and the condition of the people of this and other countries, he attributed such a state of things to the legislation of late years, as well as to the energy and industry of the British people ; and, referring to the large mili tary expenditure of the world, he expressed a hope that the fact of a large reduction at this moment of the burdens of the country would be accepted as a friendly challenge to other nations to contribute to the harmony and peace of the civilised world. The right hon. gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers, having spoken nearly three hours. Mr. WHITE said he had very great pleasure in expressing his aatidaction with the admirable budget of the Chanoallor of the Exchequer. At this time, when there was comparative political indifference existing in the country, it was a matter of rejoicing to and that they post/seed one statesman who felt himself bound to perform the proteins and to carry out the policy which he had macleand advocated while in opposi- Moo. Lord R. MONTAGU said the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in the opening of his speech, had apologised for what he termed the great and rapid augmentation of the public expenditure from 1859 to 1863, during the time her Majesty's present government had been io °Moe. The right hon. gentleman laid the blame of the increased public expenditure on the honse,and not oa the government to which he belonged. He said the course taken by the government was justified by the vote of the house on the amendment of the right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Cambridge upon the motion of the hon. mem ber for Halifax ; but he memory must have failed him as to what took place on that occasion, as the present prime miuister then declared the issue to he which party should remain in power. The Chancellor of the Exchequer claimed to be carrying out the policy which the late Sir HAL Peel inaugurated in 1842, but the course he had pursued was very different from that policy. Sir R. Peel took off taxes from raw produce and the necessities of life ; but what had the right hoe. gentleman done?? He reduced the customs duties on wine and tobacco, which were articles of luxury. How could that benefit the poor man? The whole pith and marrow of the French treaty was this—that the right hoe. gentleman lightened the taxes which bore on the rich, and left untouched thaw which were imposed ou arti cam which chiefly formed the food of the people. He took off duties from French g loves, ribbons, lace, brocade, jewels sod walking sticks, which could not be said to be used by the poor. Nor was he 000teut with taxing the rich man's carnage, omnibuses, and other public conveyances, but he must put • tax on poor carriers. He wished to know whether the sum for fortifications was included in the right hoe. gentleman's estimates? (The CIUNCILUM of the Ex- CRIQUIta replied "Nis") Then that should certainly be added to the expenditure of the year ; if it were it would materially reduce the surplus which the right hon. gentle man mid be had. Mr. CRAW FORD said the statement of the right hon. gentleman was so simple and precise in it. terms that any member might, without exposits himself to a charge of rash ness,venture at once to make • few comments on the change be had proposed in the financial arrangements of the country. Speaking on behalf of the great commercial community with which he was connected, he was prepared to express hie perfect concurrence in the views which the right hoe. gtleman had proponeded on behalf of the government. (Hear, hear.) Yr. VANCE regretted that his honourable friend the member for Queen's County had been unable' to bring before the house the subject of the taxation of Ireland, behaving that a discussion of that matter might have altered or modified the proposals of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. He thought that spirits formed one of the beat articles for taxation, and if they could by taxation diminish its use among the people, they would greatly promote their morality and prosperity. They ought to fix the duty at as high an amount as they could do without giving rise to the evil of illicit distillation, but he thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer had exceeded that amount. The house would be surprised to hear that in Ireland now the number of gallons of spirits brought to charge in the year was oily about half what it was in 1852. (Hear, hear.) Is 1852, when the duty was 2s. &l. a gallon, 8,200,000 gallons were brought to charge, but in 1862, when the dot, was Kb., the number was only 4,600,000 gallons. The con clusion inevitably was that there must be a large amount of illicit distillation in Ireland. The duty of 24. Bd. might be too low, but he was certain that 10s. was too high. In the city he represented no less than eleven Hint stills had been seized within the last year. The last time he saw returns on the subject, they showed that illegal distillatioe was on the increase. There were formerly 50 large distilleries in Ireland, and now there were only 18, the difference beteg made up by illicit stills. More over, notwithstanding that there was apparent diminution in the select spirits, there bad been an increase in the num ber of commitments for drunkenness—a significant fact pointing to the same conclusion. Mr. SCULLY agreed that the budget might be a matter at megratulation to every Eaglishman or to every China man, like hie hon. friend (Mr. White) ; but there was little in it to benefit Ireland. Ur. POWELL (C.erobsidge) observed with ream that no proposition was nude for the abattoir or rsdoo tkw duty ea firs insurances. One feature in the financial scheme would be received in some parts of the country with cosaidsrable reeerve—he alluded to the tax to be imposed epee eharitta Es wield be glad to boom wbratim the silims• would be aztesdad to sadoesd sail grammar schools, If so It would press very heavily upon the =SWIM of these schools, whom reonneration was not at all equivalent to the duties they had to discharge. He trusted that oothiog would be dope by the present or say future govenanset which would have a tendency to check the flow of that generous liberality which had chafer tensed the people of this oouotry. (Hear, hear.) Colonel BARTTELOT observed that the reduction of the income tax and of the duty on tea would be received by the country with satisfactioo. He regretted, however, that no proposition had been made to remove on lessen the malt tax—a bustles which pressed heavily on the agricultural interest Sir F. CROSSLEY advocated the Reduction of the duty on fire insurances, and be expressed a hope that the time was not far distant when the Chancellor of the Exchequer would equalise the duty at present levied on horses em ployed for commercial purposes. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR, alter expressing satisfaction with some portion of the budget. said he wished the Chancellor of the Exchequer had attacked the duties on supra. The taxes levied on teas and sugars were is the nature of • poll tax. and no tax could be more objectionable. There were great inequalities in the income tax which ought to be remedied, and the house ought to adjust the tax, or abolish it, or make it permanent and equable in its °pas tier'. No man could say that 600/. • year derived from land and 3001. a year from a profession or business were the same thing. In the latter case • great injustice was com mitted. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought the house had not suf. &lent information as to the expenditure, and he joined with the right boo. gentleman in expressing his wonder at the enormous increase in it. If the right hon. gentleman bad chosen to have gone • little further back than be had, he would have found that the increase had been so remark able as to render it doubtful if the house could further sanction it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. P. URqUHART thought there could be no doubt that • large unman of consumption of tea would follow from the reduction of the duty, that this would lied to au lincramed consumption of sugar, mid that therefore the surplus upon which the right hon. gentleman calculated was by so means problematiad. The policy of the right boa gentleman had been hitherto wonderfully successful under moat adverse circumstances, and they might very fairly rely upon hi s plans for the future. Mr. LINDSAY, though highly satisfied with the budget u a whole, was not satisfied, and did not think the merchants would be satisfied, with the sugar duties being left in their present unsatisfactory state. lie should raise the question this day week. The resolutions having reference to the duty on chicory were then agreed to, and The house resumed. LISBURN ELECTION. - - - • -•- Upon the order of the day for the consideration of the letter and documents respecting the withdrawal of the petition the return of Mr. Barbour, The ATTORNEY-0 ENERAL moved that it be referred to the Genenl Committee of Flectiona to inquire into the circumstances under which the document withdrawing the petition complaining of an undue election and return was signed by the petitioners, J.

The motion was agreed to. ASSURANCES REGISTRATION (IRELAND) BILL. Sir R. PEEL moved the nomad reading of this bill.

Cowper, Preadeat of the Board of Works, at hie office is Whitehall-oam, upon the subject of the recent threat of legal prociedinp on the part of the opponents of the Sunday bands in the parks spinet the goverment, in order to put a stop to the mine. Yr. It. Moors said it tree the intention of the com mittee to convene the Sunday bands in the Regent's-park and Victoria-park on the Arm Sunday in May, and they had viewed with great radar:awl the steps which the Chief Commissioner had taken to remove the old arid erect • new platform and orchestra ups. the most improved principles so is to aid in the production instead of the absorption of sound. It had, however, come to their knowledge that some legal proceedings were about being taken to prevent the 'actinium* of the bands, and although the Dew platform was not being gulled dove, still the old one was spin being put up, and they were therefore moat apprehensive that the Hon. Chief Corarniasiocier was about to yield to the oppo. manta of the Solidity bands. The Ho.. Yr.

Upon this being done ear taM inhabitant, of the TelTloBi bad been to him and had declared that the erectiou of " buildings " was an iofnoge. meat of the covenacte of their leases, and they called upon him (Mr. Cowper) to remove the sew platform.
