OCTOBER 15, 1853. the reward is great. 'keen 1.1 I have detained you much longer than Ith i ght 1 ithould have• done, but I have been lea onward to speak ton greater extent in regard to mat• ters or fiocign policy than I had . (Ilear, h ear.) The chancellor of ate you must know, in his utli.•iai capacity, is opposed pretty nearly to all wars— thioghter i—but at the at►tuo • the present l'huneellwr of the Exchequer, in his astliehil ell:teiq, is alSii of opinion that good tinat.•ial arrangements ate amongst the most important prep.►uiUuua for war—t . II ear,hear toad cheer,. %hos a war is necessary ; and tin far as linanee is Ce n t• (*Celled, I do not think that England has ever been better prep:ova for war thaw at present." This remark brought the right hon. gentleman round to financial sUbierts alit), home policy. lie dilated at MIA length on these• topics, but, after premising that official prudence deterred hint from giving any real information as to th e futttt•e ptm'p►ait's of his department, Mr. Gladstone kept his pixonise of secrts'y so well that the only glimpse he would give of Ministerial intention touching the paper duty was conveyed by a vague promise, " when proper time arrives and eircumstanees permit," to eonsider whether the onerous operation of the excise laws might not be further nit►.liti eel . ..espeeting the income tax, he confessed merely to an impression► "that it is not well suited to form part of the ortli• nary system of taxation." Mr. Gladstame concluded by congratulating the country and thanking l'rovi Jenne for the existing state of prosperity, and re marked the singular circumstance that, although the price of corn was high, it was paid without complaint and oca-asioned no suffering from want. The proceedings closed with an entertainment to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was laid in a spacious apartment in the Town hall, and was attended by about 100 guests. On Thursday Mr. Gladstone was present at the consecration of the new Church at Denton, about live miles front Manchester, and, in the afternoon of the saute day, assisted the Bishop of Oxford in laying the foundation stone of some new schools in that place. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. THE Conference of the self-itppointed paciticators of the world opened in Edinburgh on WlNlsies,lity last. The Music-hall was selected as the place of meeting, and the members of the Peace Society mustered strongly, under the presideney of the Lord Provost, who began the proceedings with a preliminary ad dress. Divers letters of eXelltil3 were afterwards read, among others from Sir David Brewster and Mr. Hume. The Rev. Mr. Biehard, secretary of the society, then recapitulated the lousiness which had been aceomplished milieu their last gathering in January for the furtherance of their special objects. Their principal performance in this line appears to have beeu the extensive circulation of the Cobden pamphlet entitled " and 155:1," of which 47,9(N1 pies had been distributed by the society : committee bah also prepared a large ua1111H•1 10411111111ViS, fillnWing this manifiolil is% ils, moral ma 111141 the total publications iSMICII i nfflrlflollll.4. 1.1 the miiventeut throughout the country dining Ike hoot nine 44444 laths Kris mom than hall' a million. Iteohliss this broad stream of pl•acc literature, they uls•, organised a series of public metings, ex truding over all the principal towns of England and Wales, which hail been visited 'lipase from the I 'oliferenee, mill which hail been attended, many of them, by largo and crowded audiences." Mr. CoaDEN then addressed the assembly. lie stinted by making at once a full confession of his own faith on the subject of war. He did not be lie►•e that anyb►ly was coming to attack us at all. In modern histo►y he could not find any trace of any intention of such an attack from any quarter. He would not even except Napoleon the threat, because, though ho camo near enough to look upon our shores, he turned away in search of a more inviting foe. The only danger of hostilities which English men e►er ran arose from the peculiar iditosyneriv-y in their nature, that le l th►m► to rove in towel of quar rels to the remotest corne►s of the earth.
