Mr. HENLEY suggested that some precaution should be taken to prevent the extensive alteration of hybrid bills when they were before the house itself ; and when all the protections to the public which existed in the earlier stages of such bills had been withdrawn. Viscount liiiiiitifOßdCiired to bear testimony to the great merits of those hon. members who had officiated as chairmen of the committees on private bills. The public were informed by the ordinary channels of information of those who took part in the public business of the house ; soil when those gentlemen delivered their sentiments with ability and success they earned great and deserved reputa tion not only with then constituents, but with the eonntry at large. But the community generally were not aware how much was done by those who obtained no public repu tation for their exertions. He believed there was no assembly in the world that bestowed so much labour upon measures of a useful and practical character as was done by the House of Commons ; and the amount of labour which was bestowed in that house upon measures of public utility under the name of private bills, was such that few persona were aware of. Formerly the committees on railways, muds, end other public improvements were presided over by different chairmen ; and the result was that decisions varied, parties were lees in great uncertainty as to the course which any given committee would take • and great injury and incon venience were frequently sus tained. About two years since it was determined that there should be a permanent panel of chairmen ; and the result of this arrangement had beet highly creditable, and highly advantageous to the interests of the public. The decisions of committees IMO now guided by uniform principles; parliamentary proceedings had been much abridged • and unnecessary delays had been avoided. It was iherefore only right that the names of those hon. ratlerom whose exemplary exertions had contributed to this improvement should be known. He found that Mr. Adair had sat 63 days ; Mr. Ridley, 55 days; Mr. Ingham, 45 days ; Lord March, 43 days ; Mr. &hole : field, 37 days ; Mr. Moery, 22 dam and Mr. Hardy, 13 days. The two last hon. ...lbers had been prevented from continuing their services as chairmen. The hon. gentlemen whose names be Ind read were not called to the arduous duties which they hod fulfilled except by their voluntary devotion to the public service, and it was, therefore, only right that the house, and through it the country, sh ould be made acquainted with the extent of their labours. The motion was agreed to. MORTALITY IN THE ARMY. Mr. FREELAND asked the Secretary of State for War whether the death-rates in the different regiments of the army, and the cause of death, could not in future be given in the Registrar-General's quarterly report'. ' Mr. HERBERT said the information the hon. member sought would be printed in au annual report which he in tended very soon to lay upon the table of the house. He (the right hon. geutleman) attached great value to the pub lication of these returns, because he thought it would tend to keep everybody to their dut7 and when the report was ready, it would be open to the Registrar -General to incorpo rate it with his own. (Hear.) THE NEW FOREIGN-OFFICE. Mr. C. BENTINCH /eked the First Commissioner of Works whether there was any objection to exhibit photo graphs of the Ca. Vendramin-Calergi, the Scuola S. Marco, and the Church of S. Zaccaria, at Venice. in order to show good examples of the style of architecture which Mr. Scott now proposes to adopt for the new Foreign-office. Mr. COWPER believed that the photographs for which the hon. gentleman wished would be instructive ; and also that the sketch at present in the committee-room gave a very imperfect idea of the budding which Mr. Scott would erect. If, however, he were to accede to the proposal and exhibit photographs of the three churches referred to, he could hardly stop there ; and before the house Sot a very good notion of what was intended the committee-room would be converted into an architectural exhibition. He believed that the house would do better to attach weight to the judgment of the eminent architects who had acted as referees, Mr. Cockerel], Mr. Fergusson, and Mr. Burn ; and who had expressed an opinion that the sketch now in the committee-room was worthy of approval for the purposes of a Foreign-office. (Cheers.) MELAZZO. Sir G. BOWYER mird the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether government had received any information that the inhabitants of Blelarso resisted the attack of the revolutionary troops, and that Garibaldi, having taken possession, punished with death thirty-nine of the inhabitants for having fought against him, and in defence of the rights of their sovereign. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had received no official in formation on the subject. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Viscount PALMERSTON moved that the standing order of the girth day of Juue 1852, relative to orders of the day, be read and reeled; and in lieu thereof that, unless the home shall otherwise direct, all ' orders of the day set down in the order book for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, shall be disposed of before the house will proceed u p on any motions of which notices shall have been given. That the said resolution be a standing order of this house. The noble viscount explained that the object of tbi. motion was to render permanent the substitu tion of Thursday for Friday OA an order day. At the same time he must say that the practice of introducing every conceivable subject upon the motion for the adjournment was not strictly in accordance with the spirit of the forms of the house. (Hear, hear.) That was, however, a matter which must be left to the discretion o: each member, though he believed there was a general opinion that the practice had this session been carried to a length that went somewhat beyond the due exercise of that liberty which he should be the last person in the world to wish to take away. (Cheers.) As he had mentioned the services of the chairmen of committees, he thought they ought also to recognise the valuable servides of his hon. and gallant friend the chairman of the Committee on Standing Orders (Colonel W. Patten), and the hon. gentleman the member for Walsall (Mr. Forster), who had undertaken a great deal of labour with great advantage to the public. Mr. S. FATCOURT thought the substitution of Thursday as an order day had answered exceedingly well • and the house was greatly indebted to the hon. membe r for St. Ives (Mr. Paull) who bad suggested the change. (Hear.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS said he presumed the noble lord intended to take Thursdays for the use of the government, but be believed no resolution to that effect had been passed. Mr. tIALIBURTON said that in the enumeration of those bon. members who had conferred valuable services on the country during tho session he thought there should be included "the silent members"---(much laughter)—whose patient endurance had been beyond all praise. The motion was then agreed to. FORTIFICATIONS AND WORKS. _ The house then went into committee, and the chairman having read the resolution, which was to the effect that a sum not exceeding 2,000,00 W. sterling be charged upon the consolidated fund for the fortifications of the country, to be reined by means of terminable annuities not exceeding thirty years in length, Mr. LINDSAY moved, by way of amendment to the resolution, that, as the main defence of Great Britain against aggression depended on an efficient navy, it was not expedient to enter into a la T r b e e e expenditure ea permanent land fortificatioes. hon. member warned the house of the very large expendi ture—much larger than had been suggested by the govern ment—in which the proposed works would involve the country, and ridiculed the action of an invasion ham JUDICIAL STATISTICS. Lord BROUGHAM said he roes to move for a return to which he took it fur granted these would be no opposition. It was known to most of their lordahips that a greet inter national statistical oeuvres bad recently been held in Lon don under the presidency of his Royal Highness the Prince Conaort,who executed Lis office with hie usual courtesy and talent. He (Lord Brougham) had the honour of presiding over one section, the section of judicial statistics, in consequence, no doubt, of his having some ago brought that subject before their lordships. Judicial statistics were absolutely essential to good government, in asmuch as without them they had no means of knowing the necessity of change in old laws, or the effect of new ones. In the absence of his royal highness be also presided over the meeting of the general congress, br which the re port be was about to move for was unanimously adopted. He was directed to transmit the report to the Secretary for the Home Department, and as it contained very important in formation, he moved for the production of t h at report. The motion was agreed to. MINES REGULATION AND EiSPECTION BILL . . This 1.111 WWI read s third time. TENURE AND IMPIL2VEMEFIC OF LAND (IRE. LAND) BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved that the house should go into coeunittee upon thin bill. Loed DUNGANNON, in moving that the bill be referred to • sth.ct committee, disclaimed having any hostility to the mciattre, but said it win one of great importance, mate rially affecting the interaita and position of landlords in Ireland, and had been intnaluced at a time when most Irish peers bad left town. The question on the original motion wan put. The numbers were : Content, 34 Noncootents 3O-4 The bill then passed through assontittee, and the house resumed. CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house going into committee cm this bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR said be did not mean to propose any amenibnents. The object of the bill was to limit the jurisdiction of the Divorce Curts in Scotland to cases where the parties had been wholly domiciled in Scotland. Hitherto it bad been held by the cicorPli courts that forty days' residence was enough, and also that if either of the parties had been once domiciled in Scotland, although he might afterwards have been settled for yearn in England, and married in England, the case came under the jurisdiction. This view had, however, been disputed by the courts in England, and the consequence that • divorce there pronounced might be valid in Scotland and not valid in England, that a woman might be the wife of one person on the north of the Tweed, and of another person on the south, and the children might be legitimate in one country and illegiti mate in the other. It was to get rid of that monstrous anomaly that the bill was introduced. He regretted that from the learned Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh it still encountered some opposition. They wished to claim a jurisdiction for the Scotch courts, rations &Geri, where the offence of adultery bad been committed in Scotland ; but though that argument might apply in case of a prosecution, supposing adultery to be an indict able offence, it should not give a local jurisdiction, in • civil suit like this, to the courts where the act was com mitted. Lord CHEGXSFORD expressed hie entire with the obierreticas of theLatd Chancellor. Lord BROUGHAM remarked that he cad on a former occasion brought in • bill with a similar object to this, But different in some of ft• provisions. That bill obtained the entire concurrence of the Faculty of Advocates, and the objections they had now raised did not appear to him deny weight. The bill then passed through committee. COAST OF AFRICA, ko., ACT AMENDMENT BILL On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE this bill was wooer milted pro forma. CROWN DEBTS AND JUDGMENTS BILL The report of amendments was considered and agreed to. DEBTORS AND CREDITORS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Lord i t;; ;list' the stendiag orders were suspended with regard to this bill, and it was read a "wood time. _ _ The fonowiag bills were then read third time and pencil : The Militia Bat, the Metropolitan Polka Force (Dockyards) Bill, Heritable Securities, /cc. (Scotland) Bill, and Turnpike Ale Continuance Bill. ILkYNOOTH COLLEOE BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the third reading of this ba Lord REDESDALE protested spinet the measure as most objectionable is its nature. After a few words from the Duke of LEINSTER the bill was read a third time end eared. The Bank of Ireland (No. 2) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Weights and Measures (Ireland) Bill was read a third time. — "fie Sheriff Coart.hounes (Scotland) Bill vas read a third time and pared. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (1858) AMENDMENT The report was agreed to, after a few words from Lord REDESDALC, who complained that the bill had been pro ceeded with with undue precipitancy, and suggested that iu justice to coal owners, who would be affected by it, ample time should be allowed to them fur its consideration before tho next stage came on. The Common Law Procedure (Ireland) Act (1853) Ameed meat Bill, and the Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill were read a third time and passed. The report of amendments to Railway Acts (Ireland) (1851) Amendment Bill yraiscnsideredatikagreed to. MILITIA BALLOT BILL-. Upon the motion for going into committee upon this bill, The Earl of DERBY said that the ages within which the ballot now applied were from 18 to 35, and the present bill fixed them from is to :30, thus diminishing the area and making the ballot operate more severely on the class in cluded within those limits. He confessed he could not un derstand why so unnecesemy and mischievous so alteration of the law should be made. Earl DE GREY and !UPON explained that the ground of the alteration was that by the reduction of the list all men between:3o sod 33 years of age would be relieved from anxiety on the subject of the ballot. Persons between 18 uties and 30 years were able more conveniently to perform the (Stamped, ld. Additional.) France. He had faith in the professions contained in the letter of the Emperor of the French, who had, he said, given proof of his sincerity, and who had more interest than we bad io maintaining peace ; and, above all, it was his interest to be at peace with this country. Would the projected works, he asked, make us safe? He denied that they would, and bleated that the house must go on with this expenditure, fortifying every pert of the east, and incur an outlay not of 9,000,000 i., bat at least 69,000,0001. We had now a powerful navy; we had a volunteer force, in addition to our army, of 1304000 men, which could be augmented to 1,000,000 ; and if the French should succeed (which he doubted) in throwing 100,000 men upon our shores, not one of those 100,000 men would ever return to their native country. Mr. H. BERKELEY, in seconding this amendment, said be differed from Mr. Lindsay in some points. He admitted that there was • necessity for defending the country, but be did not think the best mode of defence was by construct ing stone walls and placing cannon upon them. With L be preferred walls of men to walls of stone, and thought that Lord Palmerston had made out no case why we should skulk behind fortifications rather than take to Mar usual defences, and resort to stone walls instead of wooden walls. Our volunteers, he contended, like other volunteers and raw levies, if well led, would beat the best regular troops. Mr. S. HERBERT said if the Emperor of France was anxious for peace, imbed ;imam gut peace in his own hands. No nation would attack France, least of all England. (Hear, hear.) England would engage in no European war unless she was herself attacked. The whole of our prosperity de upon the maintenance of peace ; and be believed Ctr Listed generally ie this country a feeling that war, unless forced upon us and in self-defence, was a crying 'sin. (Hear, bear.) He did not believe that in the whole of Eng tend there was a man who wished for war, end that there were very few who did riot pray that such • terrible callosity might be averted. Then what was the conduct of the Emperor of the French, with whin under the circumstances he described, he (Mr. S. Herbert had no cause of comp/slot ? He was at this moment, had been for • long time past, strengthening the fortifica tions of Cherbourg, L'Onent, Rochefort, and Brest. Of that we had no right to complain. We had no right to complain of any sovereign putting hie own coasts in a state of defence. Nor, on the other hand, had any foreign power a right to complain of our putting ourselves in a state of defence. (Hear, hear.) But we had even a better right to do so than France in this respect, that the fortifi cations and defences of our dockyards and arsenals were much weaker than those of France ; and secondly, that a navy was an arm more vital to us than to any country in the world. The honourable gen tleman had quoted the authority of a French officer. He (Mr. 8. Herbert) remembered that a great French authority, whom be saw some years ego when he was here with Louis Ph il ippe, saying, " You have the finest fleet in the world, and a large amount of important property in your dockyards and arsenals, yet you make no effort to pro- tect it from attack." Since then no doubt great improve meats had been made, and there had been considerable during the last ten years, especially in strengthen garter works and fortifications of the dockyards and on our coasts. Let it not, then, he said, as had been two or three times repeated, "Have nothing to do with this new-' (angled idea of fortifications—Portsmouth was fortified, Chatham was fortified, and Plymouth was fortified." Mr. F. BERKELEY—I said fortifications to stand& siege. Mr. 8. HERBERT—Then his gallant friend meant not that there should be no fortifications, but that we should have no fortifications that would stand a siege. (" Hear," sod • laugh.) But that was precisely what they wanted to prevent. (Hear, bear.) They desired not only that we should be secure against a coup de main, but that we should be protected against any attempt to destroy our dockyards sod ships by • regular siege. (Hear, hear.) He need hardly quote authorities at this time of day to show that fortifica tions were useful This was sufficketly proved in the last great oontisental war—when frequently small bodies of troops opeathig behind fortifications were enabled to resist powerful armies. It was the same at Silistria and at Kars. But it had been saidfortifyiog your coasts is needless, your fleet is your defame ; and if by any accident an enemy's squadron did make a descent on our coast, his ships would never get back. But what happened at the commencement of the last war? In 1798, notwithstanding our blockade of the French ports, a French fleet of seven sail of the line, with transport. and frigates, sailed out and entered Bantry Bay, landing a force under General Roche. The expedition was defeated and dispersed, but the ships all got back In 1798 a French fleet of nine sail, with troops, reached Ireland, but was defeated by Sir J. Warren. In the same year there was another expedition reached Killala Bay. Again, in 1797 four French frigates entered Bristol, and destroyed several ships and much merchandise, afterwards landing a body of troops at Pishguard, which was, in the end, compelled, it etas true, to capitulate. But the troops arrived, and landed on ourcoast, and had they been more numerous would have done infinitely more mischief, and this at the time when the French ports were blockaded by our fleets, and our navy was flushed with the successes of St. Vincent and the Nile. This showed that it was not impos sible for • hostile fleet to assail our coasts under circunistances of greater difficulty than now existed. The value of earth works was mentioned the other night in connexion with the siege of Sebastopol ; but it was a mistake to suppose that mere earthworks were sufficient, or that the defences erected on the instant on the south side of Sebastopol would have been any sufficient protection if the more im portant defences in the north had not existed? Napoleon L, in reply to the question, what was the use of fortifying a camp? asked, how was it possible for troops to maineuvre without such protection? Then, what did they see on all sides ? Not only France, but Russia, Prussia, Austria, and all continental tiatious were strengthening their defences by fortifying their °caste and frontiers. If there was any country which more than another was dependent on fortifications whenever her see line was broken it was England. Our regular army was small, and we should be compelled to depend upon raw levies The hon. gentleman said raw levies were sufficient, and he (Mr. 8. Herbert) believed that raw levies of Englishmen had performed great achievements. The ob jection, don't adopt fortifications because it was • new fanglod idea, might be urged with far more force against the Armstrong gun, the Enfield rifle, or any modern im provement He (Mr. 8. Herbert) wo uld ask, taking the question in the lowest point of view—that of pounds, shillings, and pence what was the coat of fortifications re compared with the cost of soldiers and the sacrifice of human life? But was it any reason that they should sacrifice their men because some hon. gentlemen had • contempt for what they called such " new-tangled things" as fortifications, which by the way, we had had for upwards of 30D years ? (Hear , hear.) He supposed he was not quite justified iu alluding to the motion on the table of the bon member for Birming ham, which differed in some respects from that of the hon. gentleman who moved another resolution, hut it seemed to him (Mr. S. Herbert) that, always supposing they were not acting like lunatics, which thehon. member for Birmingham seemed to think, they could not accede to his motion. The hon. member for Birmingham was a great believer in the "Vox populi vox Der" maxim, and therefore he ought to be aware that the whole country was sentient of alarm on this subject, and that there well might be in the minds of an immense majority of the people some cause for alarm, and thas therefore the government ought to deal with the whole of this question as soon as they could. He (Mr. 8. Herbert) did not think we should be wise in neglect ing any details which in their opinion were necessary, and they had arrived at the conclusion that we were not in that state of defence which an great, and powerful, and rich a nation ought to be. (Her:, hear.) Ore great means of maintaining peace, no doubt, was a prudent and pacific policy. (Hear.) Wo ought, in our foreign relations, to show an appreciation for the rights and feelings of other people. U all nations did that, there would be no de Igor of war; but at the same time, knowing that we must comport ourselves pacifically to other nations, we must also deprive other nations of the temptation of attacking us. (Hear.) With that view the government had appointed a commission, whose report nose lay on the table. He remembered that last year a motion was made by an bon. member to the effect, that they should no longer deal with this question by voting year after year small sums, hut that they should by some wellcousidered and comprehensive effort •Aeupt to do that which would put them in • state of security at once. That motion was discussed hi that house, and he was c-rtain that if the fire vernment had not given it to be undesstood that they in tended seriously to consider this matter, that motion would have been carried. Well, that commission had brought forward • very masterly repmt, which declared that it was our duty to defend ourselves by the best means which science and art could afford us. (Hear, bear.) That report MU now before the house, and he would not, therefore, go into any details upon it , but if the house should be of opinion that the whole of this supposed weak- Oen of our dockyards and arsenals was purely imaginary, and that fortification was not the way todefend them, but, on the Spartan principle, that we should trust to flesh and blood, that house world reject the resolution of the noble lord, awl it would be for the government to say what they would do under the pressure of • responsibility so heavy. But his belief was that that house fully represented the feelings of the country on the subject. (Hear, hear. They might have discussions as to the how and the when ' and the where, but be believed it was the unanimous opi nion of the country that they ought not to allow those great depositories of their naval strength to lie at the matey of any one. (Hear, hear.) He had beard it mid by some we ought to increase our standing army ; bat there were 15 battalions now due to us—three on the sear coming from India, three more promised by India, and nine in Chita. But with • large force of vohui teers they must take meanies to release from garrison duty as large an amount of the regular army as they could spare for duty in the field. His hon. friend (Mr. Berkeley) quoted • gallant officer, Sir M. Berkeley, who told them not to spend anything on fortifications. He (Mr. B. Herbert) bad been told by seamen to trust to ships, and ships alone ; he was told by artillerymen to trust to trained gunners he had been told by officers of the line to trait [TWOPENCE. to the military only—in fact it was the old story of " Nothing like leather." (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) The government had appointed a commission which voneyed the whole of the neighbourhood of London, and the whole coasts of England, Ireland, and Scotland. did by means of that commission the house had got together an enormous amount of information which, in cane of hostilities, would be invaluable t o officers in command. (Hear, hear) He believed the amount of stores collected was very great. He heard a gallant officer say that our reeit fortresses had only 150 rounds of artillery • but he Mr. S. Herbert) had got a return which showed that those °dresses had got, some of them 350 rounds, and some of them as much as 1,000 rounds, and he did not believe those fortresses were ever better stocked than they were at present. He had stated now to the house that he believed the country saw the necessity and believed in the wisdom of the measure which the governmentproposed. The government had not put themselves blindfold into the Math of engi neers, or of artillery or naval officers—they had taken counsel from all AS to the best means of putting the country in a proper state of defence. The government did not pre ' tend to say that those works would prevent invasion. No works, no navy, no army, would do that. Invasion—mean ing thereby the landing of troops—would be always a pos. sibility ; out let them make these chief points invulnerable, and when they had made Portsmouth and Plymouth safe, they might concentrate their force elsewhere. He believed that years hence, if these works were executed, gentlemen would be found who would say that they always predicted nobody would ever land at those places, and woaM exclaim "See how you have wasted our money! " But he (Mr. S. Herbert) would not be disturbed by those predictions. He should look upon an investment of money in defending those plams as the best safeguard against the lauding of an enemy. (Hear, hear.) He hoped therefore the house would= with him in thinking that the government were only to hasten the completion of that system of works which the house had already one by one mactioned. With these opinions, 11.11 d with the greatest confidence as to the result., he left the measure in the hands of the house, trusting to that patriotism which they had always displayed in every matter in which the national safety and the national honour were involved. (Loud cheers from both sides of the house.) Mr. BRIGHT said that the proposed amendment of which he had given notice would be answered by that before I the house, and he did not press it. The house was not die cussing a question of two or even five millions, but the question involved an expenditure of at least twenty millions and more, for the standing army would be increased, for these works would require 70,000 men to man them. He wished to know if the cabinet was unanimous with regard to the expenditure? He did not believe it. Neither were the military authorities united on the subject. The hon. gentleman read a number of plane propounded by different military men, giving them a ludicrous aspect by his comments and his ironical mode of stating them. He stated that many of the pamphlets published in France were the productions of persons opposed to the present dynasty, and who sought to sow mistrust sod create a war be tween England and France, with a view to replacing the hereditary rulers of the latter kingdom on the throne. The hon. gentleman made a summary of and com mented on the Report of the Defence Commission ; arguing that the evidence showed that we had now more fortifica tions and guns than could be made available for want of men to man them, while they would be totally useless againat the new long-range guns. The hon. gentleman read a letter of the Defence Commission to Lord Overstone, to which he gave the most absurd aspect, and dealt in the same way with Lord Ovesetone's reply. He =generally that the result of the advice of the com mis that it offered no security, and only entailed expenditure. He contended that France had not added to her naval strength in anything like the relative proportion to the increase which had been made in ours. He characterised the idea of danger from foreign aggres sion which pervaded the mind of the government, par liament, and the people as a lunacy which would come to an end some time or other, but he declared that it originated in the hypocrisy and the cowardice of cabinets. They allowed a cry to be got up which was utterly absurd, and then they squandered away the public money because they had not courage to tell the people the truth of the matter. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Bright) would not say which was most to blame, the noble lord or the right bon. gentleman opposite, for he thought they were both tarred with the same stick. (Great laughter.) Why, what did they do with regard to the Italian war? Austria had for years been stupid; Sardinia was restless and ambitious ; and everybody knew that before long there would be a collision between those powers. France interfered, and marched into Lombardy. What to do? The French policy was the policy of Eng land. England, it was true, did not choose to intervene— ard most wisely did not—but a vast majority of the people ' of England were of opinion, as the present government were of opinion, that it would be very desirable to see Austria on the other aide of the Alps, and Italy free from a foreign government. What did the government of the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks do' They created the greatest possible alarm in the country, and said that it was necessary to be prepared for war. The French army having marched into Italy, one would not have ex ' pected to see them march into England, for even French soldiers could not be in two places at once. (Laughter.) The probability was, as every man in Europe felt, that the fact of French troops being engaged in Italy made it, if possible, infinitely less likely that they could be engaged in Europe. And yet the moment before this was begun all kind of alarm was created. The right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich took credit for—he was going to sa the proffigacy,hut he would say for the profuseness with which he expended the money of the country iu increasing a navy to put a stop, he supposed, to the march of soldiers who were then probably on their way across the Alps. But the French were triumphant, and the policy of England succeeded in Italy. There was no hostility England, and yet England armed, they still arm and from that time to this they had continually armed, and any excuse had been considered sufficient to hoodwink the people and make them content with extra taxes wrung them. Now I shall ask the house (continued the hon. member) one question before I sit down, namely, whether this expenditure which we are now discussing is to be with out limit, and whether the house, contrary to the opinion of all men who have ever sat as representatives of a notion, is of opinion that it does not matter how much money we throw away in military expenses every year. How has this change come about? From the year 1853, when the floodgates of passion were thrown wide, to the present time, the Exchequer has been open, and every man, it appears, is allowed to put his hand into it, sod spend just as much as he likes. Up to that time it was boasted that the reign of Queen Victoria was to be a reign of peace. We were told that— " No war, or battle sound, Was heard the world around— The idle spear and shield were high up-hung." But since then the court seems to have its occupation in connexion with military affairs -reviews in Hyde-park, re views at Alderehott, shooting matches on Wimbledon Common—all these are occupations which fora long time have been foreign to the English court, and for which, I believe in my conscience, there is not • particle of matfi cation at the moment at which lam speaking. (Hear, hear.) The people are stimulated to arm ; the cabinet is constantly devising new means of expenditure ; and all this appears to be bused upon the ignorance of the people, the clamours of the services, and the want of courage in the cabinet to speak the real truth to the nation. (Hear, hear.) There was one of the ministers of Queen Elixaheth who once declared that England would never be undone except by a parliament, and I fear the course we are taking in our utter negligence of matters, with regard to matters to which I have alluded, and with reference to our expenditure, is tending to that which we understood to be the undoing of a nation. You are told, at this moment. after 30,000,0001. have been voted for the service of the country, that you are not safe. Yon are told that in another year, not in case of war, but in a time of peace, you will me votes still higher ; you have voted this year for all the services of the government, and for the payment of the debt, • sum exeeediug 73,000,0001. sterling. My hon. friend the member for Lambeth has devoted much time in calling the attention of the house to this extravagance ; but altogether lam sorry to say, without effect. But sup pose you were to place all this taxation upon the persons who have 1001. a year and more, that is, upon the income taxpayers it would actually absorb and extract about one thirdof the whole income of all the peopleof the United Kin gdom, because if a penny piece givesl,ooo,ooo/. of income tax, 73,000,000/. would require 73 pence in the It, or Gs. ld. of income tax ; and therefore within a little, it would be one third of the whole income, and consequently of the whole property of the population of the United Kingdom having an lucerne of 101 K a year and upwards, which you take from them and give to somebody else. You put it into the Ex chequer, of which the right hon. gentleman the member for Oxford University holds the key—which has been rifled front day to day and from session to session against his will, and ho has no power probabey to withatand Hoy. Iteamit—Why does be hold the key The honourable gentleman asks me why the right hon gentleman hulls the key' Perhaps he is one of those hon. gentlemen who wish to bold the key them selves. (Laughter.) I should he very glad to see him our render the ?my, if anybody with a firmer hand will hold it in his place. But there is a country where Englishmen live, and where this does not take place. I saw a of wonderful power delivered by Mr. Everett in the rn;ed States, which was an answer to a speech made in another place attacking American institu tion. Mr. Everett stated that the next coming census would show a population in the United StiGes of about 32,000,000 of souls. That is more than the Censers of next year writ show for the population of the United Kingdom • and yet the whole expense of the thuti ltMernmen .three t .was at liT te ashingto me : we , of sterling.
