CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVMTUE BILL Tfpxt the order uf the ota) that the house should resolve IWO into committee on the Customs sod Inland Revenue NEWDEGATE said that before he proceeded to make any obeervatioas to the house, he wished to call their attention to the notice which stood is his name. It was,. "That whereas the emlodiment of the principal Comicial proposals of the goveroipent in one bill unduly increases the power of the government over the tax itinu of this country, and the interests thereby affected. hil:ts incouve greatly the action of this house, sad would annul the well ascerratiol functions ap.l privileges of the Hoare of Lords, it be an instructiou to tile comnuttee to divide. the l'itstoms and luland Revenue Bill .0 that each of the tact. to which it relates mar be sonar tel treated." He gave that notice is no spirit, be trusted, of - presumption or dictation to the louse, but he had no opportunity of giving it until the hat day before the ream. and he felt that his position in the house as a very humble but independent member required be should give such a notion as would really explain the objections which had induced him to take the coarse be was now &hoot to pursue. He did not intend to submit to the cons:cleration or to the ,decision of the house either of the astral:B propositions standing in that notice, although he ordained urmly the opinioa that those proponitiosse were true —that the (ono of the bill did give undue eats trot over taxation to those who represented the power of the crown, and an undue influence over tl:e interests thereby affected; and be held that the form or the bill limihal very isconvesiestly the action of the House of Cleinc.oina is the discharge of its proper functinis in the emetrol of the is of the na tion . and in the adjust mast at its taxation ; and he she held that if thi s f arm were adopted it would annul the welleseertained functions sad privileges of the Haws of Lards. 'These were the wawa which induced him to Wag before the house for it. draimiaa the operative put of the notice which stead us Lis panic. lie should move " 'flux it be as in.

If the bill in ' its present shape should peas the House of Lords, it might set be by the consent of that bowie, but they would be in. dead to psis It by the immense difficulties that would arise from throwing out the whole of the bill. Imposing& tax and repealing a tax were two different things. He be . tiered it to be a great constitutional privilege that this house should originate Wee, and that without its full consent no tax should be imposed. Bat it was another thing when a tax was once imposed. The other house was bound as well as themselves to maintain the credit of the country, sod they ought not to cosiest to the repeal of a tax if they ware convinced of the noceasity of maintaining it. Mr. HORSMAN said it was with great regret that he felt it his duty to vote against the amendment, because there wse much in the speech of the hon. member in which he weed. But he must say he agreed with the Chancellor of the i.,ichequer that after the discussion they hail hail on this question the motion was inopportune, and if adopted would load to great inconvenience. Mr. NEWLEGATE, in explanation, said the Chancellor of the Exchequer had misrepresented him when he said he complained they would not have sufficient opportunity of &lois:ling the question. What he did complsin of was that they would not have sufficierit .opportunity of deskaw with the several heads of taxation included in this bill. la answer to the right honourable seemlier for Stroud (Mr. nommen), he had to state that be had withdrawn the abstract proposal contained in the sinendmetn. What Iw wished to take the sense of the house upon was to affirm their power and their will so to divide the bill as that they could deal with the separate head' of taxation which it includes. Mr. KNIGHTLEY wished to state why be could not vote for the motion of his hon. friend. There were *even! fIOWNIII. First he did not think that the present moment was the convesient time for that purpose. He thought they ought to allow the bill to go into committee, and then Use boo. baronet might owes that the bill be recommitted if the bill had pot assumed tie form that be wished. In the main principle on which the hoe. gentleman rested his resolution he entirely mecum& Hie boo. friend (Mr. r) well observed that there was sot a single instance 1711 rejected by the House of Lade having been re introduced in the following year in a bill of supply. The stale of the case we* simply this. The object was to oblige the House of Lords to pm • measure which, if it were con. .idered ou its sole men's, they would sot pass. The House of Lord' had three courses ; they might reject the whole budget, they might divide the budget into two or three balls, as he concluded they would do, or they might p••• the whole budget atones. There were objections to eacb of these corses. If they rejected the entire budget they would bring the Bounces of the country into ieettricable confusion. If they divided the budget they would probably bring about • collision between the two Mambas of the legislature ; and if they admitted the principle that the House of Commons could tend up any number of money bills. however distinct, included in one bill. they would cease from that moment to be an indepen dent branch of the legislature, and would become merely minims of the decisions of the Home of Commons.

A z yz 34 196-161 The goalies INS titereiere sad the Speaker left the choir. oeclaine clan..?, which relates le the income tax, Sir W. JOLLIFTE said that on the report he would call attention to an excise regulation which bad been introduced last year. aid which be should be able is show had greatly added to the hardship and injustice that were Inherent in the collection of au income tax. He hoped that at the eleventh hour each modifications would be introduced into the taxa tion of the year, as would enable the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to remedy the evil, of which be should have at a future stage to complain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that the course which the right hon. gentleman proposed to take was one that would involve great irregularity of proceeding, mail great incouvenience. He supposed that the right hoe. gentleman was alluding to the quarterly collection of the tax. If he was, then the present was the proper stage at which to discuss the question ; but he warned him that it was one of two willies, and a half of revenue ; and he could not conceive by what art the right hon. gentleman would carve that sum out of a surplus of 450,0001. No doubt there was • select committee sitting on the income tax ; and no doubt the subject was a very important one, and one extremely fit to be brought under the cognizance, not only of the house, but of a committee that might hear patties enevennat with the subject, and able to say whether a half-fear! sr • quarterly collection was more convenient loth* tazpayer. Lad year the champ, was really equiva lent to a considerable addition of taxation within the year; but that inconvenience had now bean wholly surmounted, and to recur to the former practice would therefore involve the surrenderof a cousideraile amount of the year's revenue. The house had given an income tax of 9d.,0f which three fourths would be collected in addition to one quarterof last year's teepsece; but of course if that arrangement were alte red. it would involve the loss of a ooesidesehls portion of the year's revenue. The right Isca gentleman spoke of the change as a matter of me:ea:en* regulatioa • but in point of fact, in order that there might be no mis take about it, be had introduced it Mtn the income tax bill of last year. It was, indeed. previously the law of the land that the tax should be collected quarterly, but there was no sufficient authority to bind the revenue officers to account quark*, awl it bad therefore been determined that M oe change should Le effeeted by actual legislation. It was lie opium of the authorities that the alteration made the system much more effective and roansgmble, sod it was of course the duty of those who wished for a change to petit oat the nature of the alteration which they desired. lad year the chino was naturally felt to bear bard upon the taxpayer, but that was because an conditional amount of tax was levied. Apart from that, however, it was believed that the public would find it more agreeable to pay the money iu four sums rather thee in two. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CONINOILAII tho ught it was a hardship upon the railway campmates, that they alone should be ob lige d to collect the income tax payable by such of their servants as were paid Ly weekly wages. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the hoe. gentlemaa was not quite accurate to summing that the railway companies stood alone in the respect to which he referred. No complaint bad been made by the companies, but the matter should be considered. In answer to itir S. Nostrocovr„ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER added that the assessment for the present year would be a new one, and would not include the same years as the last . OONINOHAN pointed out • difficulty in deducting the tax from persons in the receipt of weekly wages, who might he one week working for a railway company, and the next for a private yard. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, if there was any provision in the law which operated harshly au such ppoorooms so had bleu alluded to. it was his banner to enmfne It. With respect to the complaint by his hon. irked behind him, it was true a clerk might have only 1201. a year salary, and still he might have up to LW/. from other sou me. He did not uadetatmad that it was necessary for • man who claimed abatement to attend personally at So menet-bouse. Mr. HA NKEY opposed the re.easictmeat of the clause. Sir 8 NORTHCOTE made an observation which did not mesh the pllerv. The HA CELL of the EXCHEQUER objected to must mg so sieny questions in committee. A new assessment would be ands. Mr. HENLEY seked when EXCHEQUEB must first blow when the bill would receive the royal assent, but tbe lsgal liability to pay would not depend on the new assessment. Mr. HENLEY said that a quarter of the new tax would be dne at midsummer. When did the tight lion. gentle man expect to get hie new returns ? The paymenta bad bees most ridiculously chopped about during the last six teen months, w that no man knew when he might expect the collector. There ought to be a proper tints fixed for making these assessments. The CHANCELLt4I. of the EXCHEQUER said there wee se power to hurry the country commissioeers in the assasernents. The government would m a k e a ll ; L o 4 m k tio preparations before the law was pissed, hut until 4 had paired they could not be put in operation. Mr. HENLEY hoped the right hoe. gentleman would tee ' that dew time was pies fur the purpose. He trusted that so undue pressure would be exetrUked. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not know what the right hon. gentleman meant by undue presume. Nothing would he done that waa not neowenry to the col lection of the tax. Clam. a wee agreed to. Clime 4 (the Paper Duties). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER aided some verbal amerehreeta. Mr. K. nEYMER raid that his constituents were nab venally upped to the climes now before the committee. In the Fame way ea °obi. lords who genentlly siapportol the goverumnat in the other house had last year voted agaiest the repeal of the p a p er d u t y , easy of the electors in his (Yr. X. [termer's) dis. trot. who were on the same eide, were sow u t ili se d to look unfavourably on the bu d get. The fact wee that when the budget was Ant published people were so agnmably our prised at finding there wee to be a reduction isetead of an increase of tarotiou that they were not iodised to inquire too curiously lute the ezistesice of a surplus., or as to how that surplus was tab* digitated of. &SOO thee, however, cooler counrela had recovered their influence. The lamentable ac -00601... from America, which ',net affect the revenue, sad the protest of the China merchant. respeetien the indemnity, had thrown great doubt opus the warplue, sad with regard to the paper duty had decided the se to the inexpedieocy of its 'nemesia.. lie mold his constituents that their unanimous Nene' was that an injudicioar moment had been chosen. (H... hear,) Mt. M . MILNES spoke In favour of the plane% end argued UM say isle which the revenue might sestets by the pal ef the paper duty would be amply repaid in the cons- try by the dunning it would give to a most important breach of manufacturing industry. Mt. LYGON was at a lam to know what great interest in the country required the abolition of the duty. If there wen any strong public feeling in its support it must have manifested ieff before this, as In the ease of the re form agitation of 1831-32, and the subsequent agitation on the corn laws. But so far as he could learn, there was not only no such feeling out of dome, but the public sentiment was in an opposite direction. Comparing the merits of the tax with the objections which were urged against it, he was con vinced that upon the whole there were substantial reasons why it should be maintained. It did not operate to check the diffusion of knowledge, sad it could not be said to injure the consumer. The conclusion to which he came, therefore, was that its repeal would only benefit the manu facturer.of4paper, and • few individuabi who were in the habit of new pa per to a large extent. Believing, then, that the psoporl was objectionable alike as to the matter, the manner, the measure, and the time, be should join his hon. friend, Mr. Her &prier, in voting against the bill. Mr. POLLAILD-lIRQUNAUT sad Mr. HINNEAST subse quently addresped the committee from the Irish point of view, the former supporting, and the latter opposing the measure al Mr. NORRIS twitted sentlernen on the opposition benches with inconsistency in voting against the clause, when only a few days ago they had gone into the lobby for the remission of taxes to a much greater amount, and the circumstances of the country had undergone no change in the interval that had since dapsed. He also cited several authorities is behalf of the measure of repeal, amongst them Lord Montag* when Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Disraeli. fir J. WALSH had, dor* a keg parliameatary career, witnessed luny gnat politico! crime, in comparison with which the prompt was altepther Insignificant ; hut he never remembered oos that we more irritating and troublesome. He disavowed any wish to remove the ex ist/Mg onammis of the trimemy 12110016 ; and if the question had beim made the ground of a party conflict, it was not the eauservativen who were deserving of reproach, but gen titsecs=abiotegiewlso bad farcod . that issue upon the m. po- U mew • min se the meaeae ss feli u, , 0., o thfel memento of public opinion; mei he Mt soweiweed that rise in this house the propseal had been ampepiedi by • majority, through a oom - Lira= ef parties. whisk was the remelt of the application of a sum by the mere advemied liberal 'action of the bums. AMMON mid hews sot going to reply to the ob. sematione of the hon. lareast, who bad charged himself and others sitting below the pegway with being popular agi. takes out el the house, and with compelling the govern. meet to id:educe this stratum while at the same time the hon. baronet stated that this measure was most un popular. Sir J. WALBH—What I mid was that the hon. gentle man was a political testate. Mr. AYR TON—That was as ambiguous term to nee. However, hon. members sitting on he side of the horse might be sincere in the expression of their opinions, while in ail probability the hoe. baronet and his friends did no; care much about this mateare. (Hear, hear.) Now why had hon. members opposite been Mecum* this mesas,. from Easter to Whitsuntide? (Hear, hear.) Why became they expected that some coiroamrtame or =other might arise to give &colour to their opposites to it. (Hear, bear.) In their debates hon. patinas opposite had canted the house all over the world in search of di/Acuities, and had suggested that they were arising, and that they _might' to prevent the house from miming to the of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. At one time China was referred to, and another time' America, and at another Europe, and aspaidly Italy • but Chita was tranquillised, the war was ever, and tends ' them was in a ficrarishing cooditiou. (Hear, hear.) In India every thing was tranquil and trade going ft. Europe was in • more satisfactory state, and Italy was Retailsg down into • much more peaceable condition. (Hear, hem.) Suddenly, i however, a messenger bad ernes from Galway—(theere)— who bad announced dfficulties and troubles on the other aide of the Atlantic, and there were the ally trouble* which could be suggested for the revival of this oppotit'on to the budget of the Chancellor of the E x ch equer. (Heer, hear.) They had made no progress in this de bate, for hon. gentlemen had again revived the ques tion as •to whether there was • surplus or not to dispose of, while on • former evading it was decided tha; there was • surplus. The question was this—Were the' paper duties the most obnoxious or not, and if so ought they to be repealed ? (Heir, hear.) Could they fled any excise tax which in that respect would compete with the paper duties? He utterly repelled the idea that be was mime • factious support to the government. He asserted' to the measure because of its merits, and for no other per. pose. _ (Hoe. bear.) He was me of • deputation who I went to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and pointed out °henbane to them duties, vie, that it wee I tax upon articles which oouldnot be identified. Alcohol was &substance which conld be defined, and upon which a duty could be charged ; but with regard to paper there could be ro such iadentifi cation, and all attempts utterly failed when brought to tt e test. (Hear, hear.) When the duty was first imposed there was no difficulty ie describing the article, but since that period changes bad been going on until the question had manned an infinite variety i.f forms ; and if the repeal a the dales had not been proposed, it was the intention of certain persons to raise insuperable difficulties in regard to the reanufeeenre of paper sad the payment of the duties. The qualities as to what was fibrous matter had become ex y oempiiested. There were two articles used for y similar parporee and for domestic and commercial objects—the ore article was • vegetable fibre and was with duty, while the other, an animal fibre, was ro; with duty, and these two commodities WOO into close competition with each other. (Hear, hear.) Now, coca they put their linger upon any otter duty which worked each monstrous absurdities ? (Hear.) The government had endeavoured for yean past toast with this question. There was no authority whatever vested in the mown to grant any remissions of duties imposed by this house ; but government had taken upon themselves the impassibility of 'eying that certain classes of traders should be exempt. Hon. gentlemen opposite were very much in the habit of measuring the inconvenience of this duty by the amount that it yielded. The amount wee harp—it was no less than 1,400,000 e a year, no lees than 14 guineas a ton ; bat this ahoy was small compared with the injury which was done by the interference of the excise. For every viola tion of the excise regulations the marufachwer was liable to penalties ranging from 501. to 2001., and thus, before be had been in business six months, he found that, without any in tention to defraud, he bad incurred penalties which, if they were enforced, would prevent his carrying on business longer as a solvent tender. The consequence was that those who were engaged in this manufacture were limited in number, sad they bad • kind of conventional uuderstanoliog with the excise, and the result was that there was little or no anopetatica in this branch of Industry. When the duty was taken off stained paper—used tor peparhangings—the mar which while the duty was on sold for 4d. a yard was nffiseed in mime, when the duty was abolished, to • penny • yard. The abolition of the duty on paper, by the freedom which it would give to the manufacture, would produce) re sults equally astooishing ; for there was no material existing is this country that was capable of being applied to so may useful purposes as fibre manufactured in en elastic farm. We were ashamed of ourselves when we looked at the state of our paper manufacture as compared with the paper manufacture in Japan. In that country if a man wanted • waterproof coat, he got one of paper for a few Fme, and it lasted hie purpose for • considerable time. aughter.) Of course this paper was prepared in a dif. event manner from any in our own country. This was not • party question. The credit of attempting to abolish this tax wee as much due to the right hon. member for Bucks (Mr. Disraeli) as to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But then it was said, it was • party measure with regard to the time at which it was brought forward. Was it open to that objection? Hon. gentlemen oppoai.e said that this propoaitio i was not introduced upon its merits, but for the purpose of 'Preen:- hie the House of Lords. He (Mr. Ayrto.il vas just as sin cere in his "expect for the other house as any of gentle maa could be ; end be should be sorry wheel they were deemed to simegthen what was called the popular element is the Home of Commons to do anything that could tend to weaken the just autheaLy of the Lords. But what were the grotto& upon which their lordsh , m rejected the Prier Bill of last year . It was simply because on the very day on which that bill stood for the second resoling, • telegram wee received stating that the Chinese war must go on, aorl that consequently the expenditure for the your would ne cessarily he much larger than the Chancellors( the Exchequer had provided fur. How then could their lordships be affronted at having the measure sent up to them for recon sideration, socompanied with enactments imposing taxation to the extent of 20,1100,0 M. and upward,. and thus render ing it clear that there could be no fear of a deficit. (Hear, hear.) Then it was said that if they bent up the provision for repealing the paper duty in the same hill as the other financial propositions, the House of Lords would not be able to deal with it. He totally denied that statement. The House of Lords would have exactly the same power to strike out the clause as they had had to reject the bill of last year. He did not say what that right was, but it was the same in both cases. (Hear, bear.) If the House of Lords rejected the clause the House of Commons would be powerful enough to vindicate its privileges and its rights ; or it might give way again as it had done last year. The sovereign was, moreover, invested with a coestitutemal remedy in case • conflict arose between the two houses, for she might dissolve parliament and speed to the country. If, as hon. gentlemen opposite mid, their views were spreading, they would of course be delighted to go to the hustings. (Loud conservative cheery.) The boo. member for Doreetshire said that the people of that county did not understand the question, and were only anxious to have their tea a little cheaper. It would be • great misfortune it the intelligence of England were measured by the hon. member's description of his constituents. (Hear.) It was very likely that the people of Dorsetshire were not anxious for cheap literature ; but there were some special dream sanest about that county which did not apply to other dis tricts. In what other count bad there been such conspire. cies as thery could recollect In Dornetshini, where men had come together and speed that they would not any longer hike we, which only afforded them • lingering 'term tion ? (Cheers.) Every constituency would, be believed, he heel le eppreeleee the true value of the measure that leisbelowe the beam It was far better that taxes should be baled as dleeelly i zzeebie epee the people, and should prim as lightly se wal ISlg r "at *DPW* =6. lol,l2 Wrie tiv il face °l in th d e ust qu ry es . tio l a t of the taxes which tbef bed to tear ; and if hoe gentle men whited to ream Asir pseulmity aa it awn exi st ed under THE E7CPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1861. the great conservatlve adulate, of our awn times, and under • greater minister of a former generation, let them apply themselves earnestly and seriously to the duty which they could so well discharge, but which they seem so little dis posed to undertake—namel, that of reducing the public expenditure._ (Cheers.) l ithey did that they would really reduce the burdens of the people, and they would obtain what they would well deserve— the approbation and the con fidence of the country. (Cheers.) Sir J. HAMDEN said that if he understood Mr. Ayrtoa'e address, it meant that the main reason for repealing the paper duty wee that it was • tax which was sot felt. He bad voted last year spinet the remission of that tax. bermes he thought that there was no earplug ; sad that, if there were, it ought to be applied to the reduction of the In come tax and the duties on articles of prime oonstunption. Similar reasons would guide hie vote now. He doubted the surplus, for there was a new deft. nition of a earplug —re which Ina literally in sup position, and not verified by facts and accounts. A specu lative surplus wee *seamed, and then the Cheneellor of the Exchequer proceeded to give it away ; and this in the face of a prospect of diminished trade and political disturbance. With regard to the constitutional question, however the proposed bill might be technically right, he was of opinion that the rifest and nest dignified course on the pert of the house with reference to the lords would be to act at least in this year precisely as was dose last session. Sir R. F' EEL rid, as this issue had been raised to-night, he was desirous, not having gives a vote upon the question when it was before under diaereses, to offer • few observa tions upon it,. sod considering the question in a fair and horest spirit he was desirous, if he did vote, of qualifying that vote, and if be did alit vote, of stating the reasons which infuenced his mind. (laughter.) Now he was not at all surpriud d then rationed discussions. An hon. gentleman who had spoken from that bench a short time ago bad said that be really thought after ten nighta' discus non, and perhaps more, they had had quite enough of this question, and the Prime Munster himself had told them the other night that he yea really quite our prised at these motioned (lift-maims. The words of the Prime Minister were, that be undesired it was rot intended to debate that part it the budget which was osenee'.ed with the income tax, to revive the qua:ion of the tee duties, nor to object to the repeal of the paper duties. The • noble lord considered that these matters had been decided, and that upon th e resolutions of th e h ouse , the duties would Ibe levied as • matter of MIMIC He (31, It. Peel) was really surprieed to see him molds friend se more deceived as to the state of affairs. ALwagbter.) He knew, and the house knew, that the edge lord had cites availed himself of the kind montanee of the opposition to stem and to curb the exuberant fancies of some of his more impolitic partisans —(laughter)--and he hoped that under such theurnaiasem his =Me friend might never find that the loyalty aid sup port el the opposition would be wasting. Bat be had Yee to learn that the Prime Mishkin wee representing the opinion of the house is cheek* discussion upon this qrs. lion--• more important on. as affecting all erases could not be brought formed. It was not the fault of the house that it wee sow Whitsuntide, and that they were close upon the month of June. They might have had these discourse mach earlier if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had desired it, and therefore he thought his noble friend had bees aocidestally led into error when he sup posed that this discussion bad been practically closed. But be (Sir Robert Peel) should not perhaps have risen to offer any oh secretions upon that question if it had not been for the statement made on • former occasion by the noble lord the member for the City of London. The noble lord expressed his surprise at these discuasions, and his words were worthy to be mentioned—the noble lord said he believed these din cued one were carried on merely for the purpose el injuring the political reputation of the CharosUor of the Exchequer. A more unfounded insinuatioe newer mon from the noble lord, although they knew that he was in the habit of making um of has claptrap. occasionally, for the purpose of gaining political capital. (Chien and laughter.) The noble lord made use of this assertion the other night, and he (Sir Robert Peel) for one, if he got up to disown this question, knew that the idea never entered into his mind that is doing 1.0 he wan en deavouring, in the most remote degree, to throw • slur epos the politiddcharacter of the right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. (Cheers.) But the right has. gentleman was perfectly capable of defending his own aka , recur, without having to be besmeared by the hollow pair of the noble lord. (Laughter.) For himself, he could fairly say, if he thought that this discussion was carried on upon these pounds—if he thought, as the noble lord Insinuated, that the poisoned arrow of personal 'malice was directed against his right honourable friend, he would at ore forego all free and liberal dis cussion, and take his stand by the right bon, gentleman to the lest in the consideration of this question. As the bon. baronet who bad just sat down, he (lid not propose to enter into the constitutional part of the question. Thank God they had got out of that pert, and they had now got to the practical question of the effect of the re peal of the duty upon the intereets of the people of the country. The constitutional point of view had been moat ably treated by a without. meet competent to do so. His right hon. friend the veteran conservative member for Car lisle—whom be was pad to hear address the house with so much vigour —had treated this part of the question so ably that be amid ant essesive any gas could have longer any doubt spas it. The right hon. gentleman said that, looking to the grewsdasis *partially and carefully, the Lords were constitutionally and legitimately right in the rum that they adopted. He (Mir R. Peel) thoroughly concurred in that opinion, and he shouldsay that anyone w!)0 wee not satisfied that the Lords were perfectly justified in the course which they last yearridopted must be very difficult to satisfy upon any point by force of argu ent. Allusion had been made to the tame of Henry IV. and the learned member for Ply. mouth talked of a presedeat of 600 years ago. He really should have thought it imposeible to bring forward prece dents so remote ; but if they did exist, he thought they might be just as well brought to bear in favour of the Lords as against them. But let that question be considered as set , tied, sad let them consider the question as it bore upon the neoessities of the people in 1861. (Opposition cheers.) He knew that with some gentlemen on that side of the house it was unpopular to consider the interests of the middle and lower as well as of the upper classes. The hon. member for Birmingham had over and over again said he ounceived that the interests of the lower chases were best consulted by raising them up in antagonism to the middle and upper erases. (Cheers.) He thought, on the contrary, that all clams should be considered, whether financially or politically, as one oomplete entirety, and en deavour so to equalise the finances of the country that all claire might be equally served, and nothing like clan legis lacion be apparent in the management of the affairs of the country. (Cheers.) It would be perfectly competent for him to enter into a full discussion upon the budget of his right hon. friend. The noble lord the member for London bad talked about bricks, soap, and glass, and it would be perfectly fair to enter into all these questions. He would not do so on that occasion, but would join in the admiration expressed for the ability with which the right hon. gentleman had embellished his financial statement some months ego. The right hoe. gentleman had a difficult task to perform. There was a deficit last year of 822,0001. which had to be provided for ; whereas now, with only a reduction of 1,000,000 1 . sterling in the army nd navy expenditure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer rid that he had a surplus for the present year of 1,900,000 f. Bet where was this deficit of hest year charged? Because if it were deducted from the surplus, instead of 1,900,000 f., there would be only 1,100,0001. to deal with now, so that in remitting the tangles upon In. • coins and paper, if they did not get the indemnity from China they were in a deficit of more than 300,060 f. The Chancellor of the Exchequer finished his statement by saying that he deprecated unnecessary expenditure, and at the rme time told them that in a few rarthe ex penditure had increased something 20,000,0001. pe sterling. He did not want to enter into any of the details of the budget ; they knew how the right lion. gentleman looked forward to the future with hopeful expectation, and that ho bad censured the hoe. member for Huntingdon, when he ventured to entertain dark fore- boding, with regard the state of Europe. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was followed in the same strain by the hon. member for Birmingham. bet he (Sir Robert Peel) must say • he agreed with the hon. barooet who bad just sat down that there was nothing more dark or dangerous than the state of Europe at the present time, and he thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the government should bays COllBl. dared the matter 10 • different light to what they bad done. The member for Birming. ham said that with regard to foreign affairs gorgons, hydras, and chimeras. He did not know whether the hoe. gentleman had ever read filiakspesze's Tinton of Attras, because Timor' of Athens had a Chancellor of the Exchequer called Flavius. Now, TIMOII was • very expen sive man—(laughter)—sad he asked Flavius to supply him I with the ways and means for his extravagant expenditure, and what did Flexion say ' —he had not the abundant faci lity of eloquence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—but said in He and simple language, " What will this , come to. He command us to provide, end givee great ' gifts, and all the while out of in empty coffer. Now, he (81r R. Peel, did not know whether the coffer of the state was empty, but to make a surplus dependent • upon the receipt of money from China was • state of things which he, for one, could not give his entire ap proval of. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer first showed them that there was a surplus he admitted that, as he had entertained spprehensions of so totally different , • character, he listened to the statement with unqualified • surprise, and perhaps felt some satisfaction, till the right hon. gentleman came to the matter of paper, in regard to which ho won sorry to see the contest raised again. The Prime Minister had distinctly stated to a deputation that waited upon him that lie could hold out no expectation whatever of a remission of the paper duty—(opposition cheers) ; and las'. year the noble lord brought forward resolutions, which were adopted by the house, confirming entirely the policy pursued by the Lords. If, then, the question were again bandied at all it must be handled with the greatest caution. The question involved was whether it was desirable to remit duties in favour of a limited clam at the expense of the general public. It was a tax very easily collected, and yielded • sufficient revenue. That would induce him to go into the lobby on this ocaision to vote against this measure. But he should like to hear a right bon. gentleman who spoke last year on this subject express his opinion ou the presen t occasion, and he expected to see him oome into the same lobby as himself. He 'moat the right boa, mom her for Coventry (Mr. Moe). Lad _year the right boa. gentleman said be thought it weld be better to welt far a better opportunity before they repealed thin tax, which might serve to meet a miles eineepsey and nnfereema penditure. (Hear, hear.) An hoe. member on the ether side had spoken of the volunteers in *discursive way, but be (Sir R. Peel) understood the volunteer, were coming to this house for a vote of money, He (SirM. Peel) considered this • capital opportunity of =beg_ ouch a grant; for by notable( this duty they could easily give the H. or U. • head without in and thus meet the views of the hon. gentleman. (" Hoer," and a laugh.) No one could doubt that they were dtsgging that boom into • quarrel with the Home of Lords, w was not for the beuefit of the country, but to suit • very small faction, who would derive nine-tenths of the benefit to be derived from this transaction. They bad beard all kinds of abuse lavished on the House of Lords. (No, no.) Lest year, eertainly very much against his wish, the House al Lords were very coarsely abused for the share they took in respect of this measure. He (Sir R. Peel) bad always given hi noble friend at the heed of the go vernment • cordial and warm support, and oe every comeion save one he had given him his most cordial and hearty support. He entertained towards his noble fried the warmest personal respect and affection, and nothing should induce him now to oppose him but a stern sees d duty and a deep-rooted conviction that he was in the right. (Hear, hear.) Again, be might say, as far as regarded his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, no man entertained a higher opinion of his high char acter and splendid abilities ; but as an independent member of par lament, he bed no other alternative. They were here to serve their country, and upon such occasions as the present be should always place that eon sidemtion before every other. Thanking the house for having allowed him to utter these few remarks, he should co elude by stating that it was with very great pain and reluctance he was induced to decline to g ive his vote in support of the measures of the government, bemuse be believed those measures were neither wise nor politic in a financial point of view, nor were they just or sgreeable to the greet body of the tax payers of thin country. Mr. MELLOR moved the adjournment of the debate, amid loud cries of "Divide, Divide." Mr. DISRAELI said that as fax as be was personally °misread he was unwilling to be an obstacle to free dis cussion, but he trusted that if the motion for adjourn meet was now supported by her Majesty's government they might hear no more reproaches as to placing ob stacles in the way of the public beishame—(loud tory sheen) —or of continuing accustom when there was really motile' left respecting which disemnion was necomary. (Mail They had now had the advantage of many isightif discussion on this very question, and that of the present evening had been conducted with distinguished moderation and temperateness. (Neer.) He therefere thought that the house might that night with great pro priety come to a decision. (Hear, hear.) If the gentleman who had moved the adjournment whited then to eddies the house, he (Mr. Numb) thought be could same him el aa attentive and admiring audience. (Loud laughter.) U that were the only object, the house would be most happy to hear the honourable and leaned member, otherwise the beet way would be to per-, mit the house at race to come to • decision. (Hear, hear.) That was, however, • matter for the leader of the w t e m and if the leader of the house sanctioned or had i —(loud tory cheers)—this motion for adjournment, he (Mr. i Disraeli), faithful to his sympathies for free discussion, would not ask the house to come then to a decision. He treated, however, that they would bear no more reproaches about delaying public business. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON certainly should not object to the motion for adjournmeet— (ironical cheers from the op position)—which he thought was very obviously by the silence of hoe. members opposite.

Martha Mead, sought • divorce from her husband, Mr. Frederick Tudor Mond, • farmer and cattle dealer at Writtle, Essex, on the ground of cruelty and dul Wry _The respondent denied the latter charge, and pleaded eslf-defence in excuse for any violence which he might have committed. Dr. Deana, Q.C., and Mr. Atkinson appeared for the pe titioner; Mr. Swjeant Itallantiae for the reepoodent. The marriage took place on the 23rd of January, IMO, at Gnat Dunmow, the petitioner being the daughter of a farmer named Hodson. The cohabitation lasted ten years, and resulted in the birth of five children, of whom four were still living. The case on be. half of the petitioner was that great unhappiness had been produced by her bus 'e engaging a young woman named Stock, the daughter of another Essex farmer, as governess to her children. In consequence of her re monstrances be refused to sleep with her for the last five He called her • "sow," and many other oppre• brious names, and he several times beat her severely. Once he was on the point of thrashing her with • bema halter, but a servant interfered. In 1859 Stock left the house for • short time, and went to lodge with a Mrs. Smith, in Lower Kennington lane, to whose son she had once been engaged to be married, and here she bore a son, who was registered by the name of Frederick Stock. After this she returned to Mr. Mead's, when her employer handed her the keys and gave her authority over the household. Mrs. Mead, objecting to the doom being locked against her, threatened to break them open, upon which her husband dragged her down • parsg and called to Stock to bring him a silk hief, with which he tried to tie her hands. She struggled, and her wrista were badly bruised. She then went away and commenced the prompt suit. She denied that she we. of a violent temper, or was addicted to the we of foul language, and she stud that she had never taunted him with the mine of a man named Flack with whom she had been acquainted before aFe was married. The evidence in support of the charge of adultery was supplied by Mrs. Smith and her daughter, who proved that the respondent visited Stock at their house and staved with her on one occasion a whole eight. That was before the birth of the child. Stock left the Infant with the witnesses, and it had since died. The evidence as to cruelty wee corroborated by two or three servants of the petitioner. Mr. Mead on the other had denied the particular acts of violence complained of, and mid that be had never been guilty of any violence at all, except when it had been net:emery to restrain his wbe. He represented her conduct as having been very bed, and bar language as most disgust ing. He said that she had often told him that she pre i famed Flack, and in fact had treated the respondent like a dog. She had threatened his life a hundred times, and bed thrown knives, • gat-roc, and other dangerous missiles at him. Miss Stock denied that her child was the respondent's. Its father was a farmer, whose Christian MOO was Frede rick John, but she declined to give any further informa tion about him. She doily denied that Mr. Mend had spent • night with her a Mrs. Smith's, or that the slightest im propriety had ever passed between them. She said Mist the orriduct of Mrs. Mead was very violent ; and she generally corroborated the statements of the respondent as to the language and demeanour of the petitioner. Witness was still in the respondent's service. Miss Mortlock, • previous governess, deposed that while she lived with the Meads, they were always quarrelling, and that the fault was with the petitioner. The court reserved its decision. ROSKV6AR . V. ROSZVE.tR. Dr. Spicks appeared for the petitioner, the wife of a bat maker, who manned her at St. Austell's, Cornwall, in the veer 18.12. Nine months after he left her to seek for em ployment, and had never been near her since. He had bees convicted of leaving his wife and child chargeable to the parish. Evidence of adultery having been given, the court made • decree nisi. EILABI C. TRAM AIM GAMBLE. Mr. M'Queen.

He had rivately married the respondent, who well respondent , several yeah o lder, at Brighton, ow the 24th of April, 1869. Mr. Frei seater said that his sot was employed is his officio, and on the day of the marriage he had given bun a holiday. A short time after witness had gone home, after a busy day's work, had pulled off his hoots, and was amusing himself in his nursery, when a note was brought to bim neggiag him to go wi th out delay to an address at Islington. Was very much vexed, but pat ow his boots end went. Found his son at the place specified and said to him, "Well, George, what do you west with me?" The peti tioner pointed to a young woman who was present and amid, "That." " Wen," replied witness, "and what's that ?" Petitioner said, "My wife." Witness was very much gar prised, for he "did not like the cut of her," and determined to make the strictest inquiry as to her character. The petitioner said she wee respectable ; awl witness observed that if she was, be deserved to be kicked for not having first intro dewed bar to his nuniuna, adding that there would be no end el • row at borne. (Laughter.) Afterwards he paid the respeadeat's debt., and made her • weekly allowance. He then mat hie SOD to a clergyman's to get up his mathema tics, and afterwards to the waterworks at Merthyr TydriL fialisseptestly b• liaised that the iespoodeat was leading an immoral life ; and be thereupon turned detective for some weeks. He then taxed her with her oondact, and she con. famed that his suspicions were well-founded. Other witaamee were also examined, and they left no doubt es to the allegations of the petitioner.
