Popular opinion had been invoked by imam of misrepresentations and eztretions bi ed ame whose bend prejudices sad 6111110 pram mined their undoubtedly great talents of lees use to the neentry thee they otherwise would have been. But he believed that the rated language that had been held had only ends the peorsle of this country regard with greater affection and re meet the tins-hosoured institutioa of the realm. (Chem) He believed, also, that if their lordships wished to fulfil the expectation' which had been entertained, and to confirm the opinion which bad been formed of them, they would do it by acting with digeity, with moderation, and in accordance with the spirit of the constitution. (Hear, hear.) He could only apologise foe having trespassed on their lordships time. It was always most painful to him to do so; but he trusted their lordships would look with greater indulgence upon the fact of the younger members of their house venturing to addres them upon such an oossion when they remembered that It was the younger member* of their lordships' house who were most likely to see the day when they might be celled to account for any mistaken conies of policy which the home might now adopt. (Cheers.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that if they were passing judgment upon the budget of the government he should agree with most of what had fallen from his noble friend (Lord Nonteagle). Neither did he admit that there was the smallest constitutional doubt as to the power of the house to reject the bill ; but what would chiefly influence the vote he should give was the fact that th e y had mimed an Income Tax Bill, imposing an additional penny in the pound in lieu of the paper duty. It would not, therefore, be cousistent with honour, honesty, or equity, to reject the present measure. The noble lord (Lord lionteagle) had spoken absolutely in favour of the paper duty ea • tax ; but he must remind him that he had every statesman in both houses of parliament against him. The House of Common' had Famed a revelation that this tax ought not to fpm • source of permanent revenue, and, with the exception of his noble fnend, be did not bell vs there was a member of their lordships' house wh o wo uld my it ought to be • source of permanent revenue. This was • tax affecting all trade ; it Wii II tax upon exwrts to •• 1 degree which thew lolordship dshi would y He ! wished their lordships well to consider the parties of that house and of public affairs in general before they rejected this bill. He agreed with his noble friend that we were in • condition of financial embarrassment. The embarrassment next year might be very great ; but would they make pro vision for it by rejecting this bill ! They had the power of rejecting that bill, and of rejecting other bills of great consequence. He did not like to prophesy, but he could not help saying that it was his belief that if they rejected this bill they would do that which siebp able men had been trying in vain to do these last two years— they would get up an agitation in favour of the Reform Bill. He did not approve of the budget ; but looking to the perition of the question and the credit of that house, and the position of public affairs, and knowing the elasticity of the resources of the country when they had a contented end industrious people, he should vote for the secoml Wing of this bill. Tho Duke of EUTLkND said be could not agree with the noble marquis, that bream they bad pared the room tax bill they were therekee to pea this bla. lon easeedi e . lag the merits of the bill it wee moessary that they should consider the whole budget Looke" at the problematical character of the estinstesfoiroextyser, and the inexpediency of p artin g with so huge and certain • source of reverse, be hoped their lordships would pet a negative on this bill.

On the oontiary, it was amply broad impish.

Then wan, liewerer, section of their lookbiqpe hoessa,whces *alone the t were bound to madder, and to whose judgment r i er i as m their duty to appeal. He had reason Ito know' there were many noble lords on the beithes opposite and on the benches below who felt scarcely lees strongly than the government the grave inconveniences and dangers of the course they ware sow asked to take, hat who, on the other hurl, were penimided the repeal el the paper duties was connected with each daaproelunt of fi nance that they were prepared to non the as the lesser evil of the two. He had read pager af a petition presented by the inhakitaate of Lers. They nesneted that the nose for national de fense led ineriesed the hares at ioa upon the lower and working arr. Now Yr he (lb.

Thin was rear objection to the erne which was pro posed to be tree is rejecting the bill, and one that sight be have great moral weight with their lordships. When the House of Commies pared the income-tax, they no doubt relied upon this house acting in the usual manner with regard to the Paper Duties Bill ; otherwise it japro bable theit urti Vt not have sent the Lucome.tax Bill up to their in the shape they did. This was not the irst time had been threatened with an alarming dearth Is 1857, Mr. Disraeli prophesied that in the meth year there would be a deficit of 1,400,0001. Sir George Lewis in van attempted to satisfy the right hon. Mrthat the deficit could not be greater than ; and what turned out to be the ear? In 1858, Mr. Disraeli was himself Amines minister, and he had to i report that the inoome of the country had be act 411,104,0001., the higheet sum at which he had placed it, bet 83,120,0001. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord Lyndhurst) bed ipdicated an opinion that the first pepulerity of the budget had somewhat paled ; and he (the alibis duke) was quite willing to admit that for some weeks these had been • °malice of those songs of triumph which had burst forth front all the commercial cities of the empire. But that was because the public thought that the budget was quite safe. (Hear , beer.) For his own part he should regret the rejection of this bill, far more as • member of the House of Lords than as a member of the government or as a supporter of the fiseseial ressonres of the right hon. gentlernaa the Chancellor of the laelrespir ; for he was satis fi ed that it was not in the pelmet the noble baron who bad moved the amendment to reverse a nen. inertial policy which had been sanctioned by the country. The Earl of DERBY said, with respect to the coo stitutional question, he should be satisfied to leave it on the footing on which it bad been placed by Lord Lyndhurst, notwithstanding the difference of opinion expressed by Lord Cranworth and other Leeds. The Duke of Argyll had stated that there had been no instance in which that house had re jected • Supply Bill ; but he (Lord Derby) pointed oat an instance in which a Bill of Supply had been rejected ; and more than this, the present, be said, was not a supply bill. The main question, how ever, was - the abolition of the Paper Duty 'and the objection to its repeal, mid in supporting the amendment he performed only what he "deemed • solemn duty, with no desire to embarrass the government, still leis to overthrow it. He did not theoretically defend the paper duty, and he thought it would be desirable to part with it if the lam.. permitted its repeal; but what he contended was that, ciretunstasced I as the ociantry now was, the _runner of this tax was an improvident and realms act Loth Derby then proceeded to discum the ananein part at the question, observing that he had limbed to Mr. Gladstooe's financial state ment with the coavictios that the House of Commons had been blinded to its defects by the brilliancy of his rhetoric. He analysed that statement, and the process by which Mr. Gladstone had, he said, converted • large at into an apparent surplus of 464,000 f., which had already dis =ciwithout any provision to meet the serious del of the ensuing year ; and ia this state al rags he was throwing awe of • million.

I said (con tinued the noble earl) I would not only fortify myself by the facts and figures of the right hoe. gentlemen the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but that upon the mime points on which I objected to the budget I would also have the sanction of his high authority. Tint, with regard to the amble pledges gi p ven in 1853, that take off should be adopted to arliament to measures the income tax in 18.0. I am not finding fault with the right hoc gentliman for not doing so. Circumstances have pr ivented him, but I contend he had no right to say that that large falling in of 2,400,0001. afforded him the mans of taking off • corresponding amount of indirect taxation, inasmuch as that very sum which was known to be fa ling in, had been estimated by the right hon. gentleman as one ci the main means by whi ch the income tax might be taken off. Thee, said the Chsmillor of the Exchequer, came the re duction of the Threeand-a-Half per Cents., for which we are indebted to the right hon. member for the University of Cambridge, and the termination of the Long Annuities is 180 e, making a total of 2,198,0001., and added to ea mail able increase of 3,813,000 f., a sum of 5,960,0001., against the 6,140,000 C income tax.

(Hear, hear.) However, in 1857 there was th e falba, of the ermion dug and the cost of the Russian war • but still the of the Exchequer, with indigna nt eloquence, denied that anything had occurred to absolve him from his pledp. Up to 1858 in fact the right hon. gentleness was toned deckling him self to be bound by his solemn pledges, whilst now, when the Long Annuities have fallen in, he forget, the moms tax altogether, and ap plies his means to the reductions of indirect taxation. But there is something rather more. He rye :—" One hon. member calls out, I think very naturally, for the abolition of the _ psper duties ; another cells for the extinction of the hop dative • another speaks in a touching manna of the adenateges'of a repeal of the malt tax. Same of their do mends an reameablia ; others are unreasonable; but et the same time I am precludel from any discus sion of the removal of these duties at present.* Now the estimated deficit at that time was 4,000,0001. ; the estimated deficit for the year 180041 is sot 4,0000001., but 9,000,0001., plus those little item s which we will not take into amount at present ,• and this is the occeeion on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer thinks it his duty to propose a !spiel of the paper duty. (Cheers.) But, my lords, there is redly as large • number • occrions on which I could invite the eanc lion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this memorable occaria, by making use of his speech, as my noble Mead opposite has of a speech of my own. (Laughter. ) He says :—" I *Mk it of the utmost importance that an aocuser estimate should be taken, not for the current, but for the following year;" and no Chancellor of the Exche quer ever stood such a badgering for not being able to pro duce such an estimate as did Sir G. C. Lewis at the hands of theright bon gentleman. Theright bon. gentleman further commented upon a margin having been left for the e of a war in which we were then engaged, and whirr pewee were not estimated. Now only substitute China for Persia, and you may read to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the lecture which he read to the right honourable gentleman who then filled that . The right hon. gentleman proceeded to say: " If they stilltrefuse we must coerce them by our votes to give their estimate. of expeeffiture foe the Persian war, that we may know and not allow ourselves to be kept in ignorance. The budget is proposed to be taken, not for one year only ; the right boo. gentle man thinks it should be taken for a pericd of one year only, for the purpose of enabling after paha ments, however constituted, to deal freely with the finance of the country. The hon. member for Newcastle says it is the only way to keep the income tax under corral from year to year. Now, from that opinion I entirely differ. I believe the tr ansition in voting for a tax from • ear to year is • sign of a further transition, viz., a • which would torn a solid and steady system into one of molllation." It will be difficult for the right hon. gentians° to reconcile those two principles. One more comment upon the right hon. gentleman s speech, and I have done. Now he says, "No one is called upon to take a burden from the shden of the wealthier class— the wine dutie.—in order to lay duties upon the tea and row of every labouring man in the country. I entertain the most decided opinion on this point, and nothing can in duce me to refrain from giving evey °Tatou in my power to such a proposition." (Cheers.) have now en deavoured to show that upon all the points on which I with to t he present it has been denounced in the mosteloquent and energetic lawman by the Chan cellor of the Ex uer, in support of the very object I have in view. I don't o ject to the repeal d the paper duties ; but in the face of the expected delleieney of 1861-1862, and when we have the prospect before us of increased expenditure for fortifications and the defences of the country, I think von are not In a position to resign &revenue of 1,400,0001, a year. I was glad to hear the noble duke declare, on the part of her Majesty's government, that they had nothing in common with those who discreditably call themselves the Mancheater School ; but whatever their intentions, they were, by their acts, playing into the hands of that school. (Cheers.? It vas openly - announced by those gentlemen that their object was to make the public revenue wholly dependent upon direct taxation, in the expectation that its pressure would be so grinding and so odious, that, what ever might be the oimumetancee of the country, would be &voided, because no party will be able to earry it on in consequence of its expense. It is not solely, then, because I object to the raffles of this annual revenue, though that Is considerable, bat from motives of policy that I object to this bill. It is because it takes away an important branch of revenue, and pro to tends to weaken the financial condition of the country ate moment when, for the best interests both of this country and of Europe, it is essential the England should be rich, prosperous, and powerful. (Cheers.) On these grounds 'I feel myself unable to give my support to the proposition which has been made by her Majesty's government. (Cheer.) The noble lord concluded by quoting, amidst loud applause, the perora tion of Mr. Gladstone's speech in 1857, in which that right hon. gentleman eloquently professed his determination never to ram bearing his testimony in the open illy to the duty and necessity of maintaining theblic obligations. Earl GRANVILLE., in re ply, protested against the leaguage which the noble earl applied to the budget of the Cbaeoellor of the Exchequer. If a farmer who applied to his land • mode of reproduction which he had found to be auceasful in past years, could be called a gambler play ing at double or quits, then the same language might be applied, but only could it then be truly applied to the policy of his right hon. trim& error of the noble earl was in assuming that when a talc was repealed the amount was lost to the revenue. Why, at that moment, they were receiving three millions more from twelve excise duties than they formerly received from them, and from twelve other duties in addition. He would not detain them further, but he wished to protest against the pith& being carried away by any d those calculations which the noble earl had . The bows then divided ouhe question that the bill be reed a second time. Proxies were called for. The numbers were— 14-101 161 33-193 Majority against the second reading The bill was consequently lost. The result was received with loud cheering trona the op position benches.

Thonvenel, and to ask the noble lord (J. Rusealla if there were any papers in the Foreign-o ffi ce which he could lay cn the table tending to show the purpose which the to the treaty of 1815 had in view when they • for the neutralisation of Northern Savoy, and also whether he could, with a due regard to the public service, give the ham any . baformation as to the present slate of the nest iD iat lA ion N s wiring out of the treaty of Turin ? CIVIL SERVICE In W Mr. Alderman Corztvro, Sir C. WOOD stated that the pension to military Indian slicers on furlough was not extended to civil officers, but eB the othods, whether civil or military, iavalided at Lack wow had a year's time allowed them towards their retiring pension. APPLICATION OF NAVAL FREIGHT MONEY. Sir G. B. PECHRLL asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty if any Maps lad beta taken (on the reoommendation of the /Me Naval Commission) to abolish the present system of sharing freight money for the conveyance of specie, jewels, or immure, on board her Majesty's ships ; one. rth share being paid to the echidna on the station. two ourtle to the captain of the ship who signed the bill of Wing or receipt for the same, and the remaining one-fourth than only being paid to Greenwich Hospital for the use of the institution. Lord C. PAGET replied that there was a commission to /wane into the management of Greenwich Hospital, which bed taken this subject into coosidention amongst others. That commission had not yet reported ; until they bad the government could take no action upon it. PROTECTION BY BRITIEHSHIPS IN SICILIAN board her Majesty's shift mg ha bad to stair that on refer ring to what hod tekna - Olies es • former ocomloo, he found there was in the Forelipa-ollos • letter by Kr. Hamilton, in 1849, under the directios of Lord Palmerston, which maned to him to convey the fittest orders and instructions appli ca bl e t o all aim of this kind, and he believed the be answer he amid give to the hon. gentleman was to read ea extract from that paper. The noble lord here read the extract, which was to the effect that Lord Palmerston was at opinion that it would not be right to receive on board say British ship of war any person under a ariminsl esatenee, and who was escaping from any sentence or process of law ; but • British man-of-war should always be considered a Nate place of refuge for persons who sought the protection of the British dog from persecution on az count of political opinions, whether they had escaped from the arbitrary action of • lawful government or from the lawless violence of a revolutionary government. Every officer commanding a British ship of war, however, should take care that such refugees should not awry on while on board any political correspondence with persons on shore. This appeared to him to be applicable to the present coca- Won, and he had instructed the Admiralty to adopt that rule. WATERS. Mr. DALOLISH ream io;esit,tite Secretary of State for Foreign Alban whether officers commanding British ships of war on the carets of Naples and Sicily had reesived special instructions to extend the protection of the Bribbk to all persona refugees or othen, who might In quire it. Lord J. RUSSELL had presented that evening a conv icted's= en the ',abject of the reception of refugees on THE_NATIVE INDIAN ARMY. Colonel SYEffi wished to WairtliTee7ret;ri of State for India what amount of truth there was in statements' made in the Times newspaper of Saturday, the 19th of May, that the regular native army of India, under British an thceity, conented of 250,000 sabres and bayonets—that this peat sepoy army rose in mutiny, and it had ah mobbed — flat the army of the East India Company has absolved, even as the sovereignty if the ompany be. dismayed, and that "a quarter of a million of disciplined native soldiers bad been destroyed"—that the Company's Europese army bed with a strange fatality followed the fate of the wpm, and disbanded themselves. Further, he wished to salt whether it was not the fact that about 11,000 of the late company's European troops did still continue embodied, oom • European regiments that had gloriously d stiaguished them selves in numerous battles, together with a body of artillery quid to ann the world ; and whether fifteen regiment. of the old Bengal native army, eight regiments of m. = Cavelry and fifty -two regiments of Infantry of the native army, three regiment. of Bombay Light Ca valry and thirty-one regiment. of Infantry, all regular ea. tire troops, did not still continue embodied in a state of loyal ellicieocy Sir C. WOOD said he was quite ready to answer the question, bat at the mane the, he must say that if, in ad dition to the multifarious questions now pot on questions of fact, t hey were celled on to rower also questions of his tory, they should be introthidag a wakes Insperlinseet to the trenmetion of pubbc business, which did not go op with so much speed even at present as wu desirable. (Hear, bear.) With regard to the Bengal native army, which con sisted at the tame of the mutiey al seventy four regiment., eleven remained faithful, four which had hew disarmed had been rearmed. and the remaining 50 had disappeared. With regard to the Madras army, one regiment only had shown symptoms of mutiny, and the rest remained faithful. He might make the same remark with regard to the Bombay army. It would in his opinion be madness to reorganise the Bengal army. With regard to the reductions the most liberal consideration would be given to the case of the men =defacers. With regard to the European troops, about 10,000 had taken their discre, and 11,000 remained. The whole native army before the mutiny amounted to 250,000 men, and, one way or other, there was nearly that amount under arms at present. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the reductions would proceed more rapidly in the present year. COUNTY BAT EXi'ENDriIIRE. Sir J. Tiiiia*STY7.;iiirrinteTsirdtO Trine the in troduction of • bill to-morrow on the subject of county rates ezpeoditure, if there was no objection on the other We of the house. fiEIIiIC6IIRT said, that u far as be was con cerned, no objection would be takes to the motion for leave to introduce the bill, but the hon. baronet was not to infer from that that it would not be opposed in its subsequent stags& THE SICILIAN INSIIRRECTION. Yr. ICINOLAICE wished to know from the noble lord (Rummell) whether he could give the house any information edi to the light in which the Sicilian insurrection was re garded by the other powers of Europe, but more espe aially by Franoe. Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not undertake to say in what light the insurrection in Sicily was viewed by the powers of Europe. (Laughter.) But he did not find that any of the powers of Europe, certainly neither Austria nor Spain, intended to take any part against the insurgents, or in favour of the Neapolitan government. HOUSE§ AND WINE LICENSEE After a short conversation this bill was recommitted ; ➢lr. DZABY in the chair. Mr. HARDY inquired whether tobacco shops came under the designation of places of public refreshment, resort, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not able to say, but was of opinion that they ought to be so in cluded. Ilie;chtuse was agreed to. On clause 17, Mr. HENLEY pointed out the difficulty there would be iv getting at the identity of the man who might take out • license for one of those houses, who might pass by the mane of John Man.in.the-moon, and would be represented is the shop by his " mother," or perhaps one or two nice young ladies who waited on the customers, but he himself was never to be seen. He therefore quite believed it would be • great blessing if the disuse was left altogether out of the bin. Mr. AYRTON put it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, as the clause now stood, a man taking out a license for one of those houses might not be a ticket•of -leave man. He thought the whole character of the clause ought to be altered- Bir J. SHELLEY considered it would be better to oleos those houses, with reference to licenses, on the same ft.Aing as beer-houiss. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that the clause wee illusory, or that it wee ever intended to be so. LIDDILL and Sir W. JOLLIM condemned the clause as altogether useless. The clause as amended was then agreed to, as also were clauses up to clause 19 inclusive. On clause 210, Mr. AYRTON said the effect of the clause would be to perpetuate the vicious system of having a compound of wine and spirits instead of the light wines in their natural state. As an advocate of temperance he strongly objected to the principle contained in the clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said wino was frequently of the strength of 30 per cent. praof spirit. The maximum strength was formerly 33 per cent., but under the recent customs regulations the limit of wine had been raised to 40 per cent., and it would not be proper to have one regulation in the Excise and another in the Customs. He should be glad when the maximum could be reduced, but he was afraid that would not be for some time to come. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. On clause 21, Mr. PACKE said he thought that no man who was well known to be of bad character ought to be permitted to have • license under this clause. He would therefore propose to introduce the worls, "or be of notoriously bad character," after the words relating to persons convicted of felony, k.c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought this question had been disposed of on • former evening. If the amendment were agreed to there would be no locus peni tentiie to any man who might have been a bad character, but who had become reformed. Thern;(lQni;;;nes;ijied. On clause 26, Sir M. PETO hoped that as to the sale of wines during certain hours on Sundays, the same restraint would be placed upon persons taking out licensee under this bill, as now existed in reference to public.hotues. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not apes to the suggestion of the bon. gentleman, is he thought the present law under the act of Charles 11. would be quite sufficient to meet the objection of the hos. gentleman. The clause was then agreed to ; as were clauses 27, 28, se, 30, and 31. A brief discussion took place as to whether eatinghouse keepers should not be prohibited from sending out for spirits to be consumed by their customers, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer objected to make so great a change in the existing law, without notice to the parties who would be affected by it. Some verbal amendments were made, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. The remaining clauses up to 39 were also agreed to with some verbal alterations. On the motion for adopting the preamble, Mr. LOCKE observed that he had given notice of a clause which he was anxious to ascertain whether the government objected to insert. His clause was—" That from and after the passing of this act, section 7 of the statute of the sth and 6th years of William IV., chap. 39, shall be and the same is hereby repealed." Lord PALMERSTON rose to order. The hon. and learned gentleman was clearly out of order in opening a dis cussion on a clause which could not be voted upon at the present time. The proper time for bringing on the question was when the report was brought up. Mr. LOCKE was anxious to state the reasons why he brought forward the clause, and to ascertain the views of the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon it. His object was to correct the abuse consequent upon a clause that had crept into a former act of par •►ment, by virtue of which the Excise granted licensee to theatres, without any other intervention, and lie wished to know what view the govern ment took upon the point, and whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer would object to his bringing up the clause on the report. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question was one of police and not of revenue. It was one for the consideration of the HomeolSce, and if the judgment of the Home-office was in favour of the view of the bon. and learned gentleman, he should not object. Such a clause as he proposed was not gennain to the present The CHAIRMAN reported that the clauses were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up tomorrow (this day). THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Bank ruptcy and Insolvency Bill, Mr. VANCE objected to the extension given by the bill to the jurisdiction of the county courts, as, in his opinion, I ft would bars ireporloat claims before judges not thsootistorood to wea maslire wok s to mil theers.

The ATPORNEY.ORNBRAL would agree to restrict their employment to the London districts. Sir F. X IeLLY thought the commissioners ought not to here duties imposed on them which they had never con. tracted to &c lump. After a few words from Mr. YELLOR, Mr. WALPOLE withdrew his amendment. Mr. BOWYER, i; clan; 7, — enteral protest against an _y new courts of j ustice with only one judge. The AWORNEY-G L, on clause 13, in reply to Kr. explained the reasons why the new judge w ad to have 5,0 061. a year, and his deputy for three mouths mi lts animated discussion took place also on this clause, as to the system of oompensation and pensions for the retiring °Seers of the courts. In a subsequent clause, Hr. WALPOLE proposed that the Judge of Bankruptcy should be chosen from one of the present commissioners. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could give no pledge on the point, es he wee not consulted on such appuintments. A division arose on Mr. Bouverie's amendment of claim 22, as to Use expediency of reducing the salaries of tho sueoessors of the present district judges from 1,800/. to 1,5001. • year.- The motion, however, was negatived, the numbers leg—Noeis 00 Ayes 88. Clause 22 was aced to after a division, in which tilt: Ayes were 118, and Noes 38. Clause DI, on the transfer of the bankruptcy jurisdiction to the county courts, gave rise to much discussion ou an amendment of Mr. Beaver's, that the jurisdiction proper,/ should not be extended to county courts, which was, how. ever, ultimately n tived.
