Mr. WILSON said that the hon. gentleman who had last "pokers rose to put a question to him, sad he would 'odes Vest soy briefly to give him a satisfactory answer. In the liseepthee, however, he heartily concurred with the closing ennead= of the hon. gentleman, that the house was in debted fer the hon. baronet for even at the eleventh hour the 'Session of the house to a announce eo in- sad so important, and be sympathised very much, with him when he regretted that these discussions were to be canted on in mother place, where there was an absence of pawns intimately acquainted with the details. (Hem, hear.) He wished the hon. baronet would exercise his vigilance still more, so that no misrepresentations might hereafter take place in reference to such transactions. The hes. gentlemen said that if there were oce more' certain this another, it was that the I,l76,oooquestion more certain this another, It was that lbs 1,176,0001. of Exche quer Bills, which were now the subject of ductusion, wen as completely and as irretrievably added to the permanent debt of the country as any Ina ever made. He (Mr. toil en) totally joined issue with the hon. gentleman on this' pent. He proposed not only to show that it formed no part of the permanent debt of the country, tut still more to show that out of the taxation of the put year—out of the peeisese of the year—the whole expenditure had been paid, esi that the country bad not been debited with one ingle shilling on account of the expenses of the past pear. (Cheers.) Ia support of these assertions he cited a great number of figures and returns, snowing the amount se the outstanding floating Nenrities, the receipts of reve nue, and the general state and prospects of the national exchequer. Mr. GLADSTONE said that, as he was a party to the transaction Refund to, he would saeery few words upon this very small question, which bad bun magnified sentries eerily into a very great one—the renewal of 1,760,0001. Ex chequer Bills. The hon. baronet stated that on the Gth Marsh last year be (Mr. Gladstone) said that authority had been given for the nee of those Exchequer Bills, with the inteation that they should be redeemed out of the first ty moie of the double income tax. He (Mr. Gladstone) was card 01 at that time to explain that he did not ask for bath ' the 1,750,0001. and the moiety of the income tax, but that, whoa he got the 1,750,0004 he should only keep it, or au much of it as might be wanted, until he got the Income tax, and thee be should be ready to part with it. But that date, the 6th of March, was nut the time when pron. sloe was aids for the finances of the year. Whether it was lenient in the government, having determined to send a Mahon expedition to the East, to come and ask the house Se provide for its oat, was a question he would not now imam; but the provision made on the 6th March was not II deny as through the year, it was only to defray the cost of sendisiff that expedition, independently of actual military openness. The statement with respect to the responses of the year was made on the Bth May ; and then, when the complete plan was produced, he (Mr. Glad stone) distinctly sad specifically stated, and read the figures to the house, that he should want both the doubled income tax and the 1,750,0001. Alter having stand to the house the financial necessities of the country upon that day, the Bth May, he did, in his extreme anxiety to make the matter intelligible, draw up • cash account, or balance-sheet, ea- Wily distinct from the usual statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as to the expenditure of the year, and the tans by which he proposed to provide for it ; and he be hoved that no other Chancellor of the Exchequer upon any former occasion had made such au attempt to enable the house to understand the exact position of the government as to its command of cash. The right hon. gentleman then quoted his own speech of the Bth of May last, proving that he did tell the hoses then, distinctly, that he must have the doubled income tax, 3,300,00 W.. and that he must also have the 1,750,0001. of Exchequer Bills, which were voted on the 6th of March. He was sure that, after this, the boo. ba ronet would not anus" him of having kept back anything "s the subject.

It was, indeed, • qua • of a noble friend of his that they owed this discovery-a vigi position ; for there was not much diffiliene• be- lion worthy of the attention of the house bow far it was lance which ought to shame the House of Common!. A tween doing that at 3 in the afternoon and at 11 possible to meet the necessary expenditure of the war by certain amount of Exchequer Bills was voted under parti la the mooning. (Hear.) Seeing that nobody objected tarn to be raised within the Tear; that wog a vital subject cular circumstances, and the circumstances being changed, to this measure, he hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer of national and financial policy, the government had, without announoement, added those and he (Mr. Gladetoae) would bring in the bill, and get it through the borate se would be the last man to deprecate its discussion. Ito was Exchequer Bills to the permanent debt. The an ises es possible.

In Mannester, also, preparations were making went/ of ex p en diture th a t i n ever y i ns t ance t h e y a b oe ld speech on that occasion, and could not find any announce ment that the right hon. gentleman had changed his tor starling • daily paper. He entirely dimmed with the present outside estimates-his right hon. friend near him Chancellor of the Exchequer as to there being a large crop; (Sir J. Graham) would bear this out-and then, upon such intentions. A relative of his subsequently raised a debate he believed there would be a very large crop, though many outside estimates, he thought it his deity to ask the house for on the state of the finances, in the course of which it was: of them might not produce much fruit. In say cue the a large vote of credit; god over and above that vote if stated that government had raised a loan by issuing en Gooier the bill pawed the better. Some of the best ' and credit, the bones was waked by him to give the government millions of Exchequer Bonds ; but if the house had known most influential of the prevlocial papers had net opposed the command of a large additional amount of money. Well, that, in addition, 1,750,0001. of Exchequer Bills had been the attention ; he might instance the Leeds Mercury and those estimates had been exceeded ; but although we had also added to the permanent debt, how mob stronger would two of the Manchester papers.

The coneequenee had been that instead or drawing to the extent of four millions upon aids granted in saticipation of lazes, the government had' drawn to the *lust of seven millions.

Well, the hos gentleman might think so if he pleased. It was an excess of two millions. Is time of pesos, he (Mr. Gladstone) sheeld think an excess of two millions showed a very gross want dean, both on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and of his colleagues connected with the expen diture; but he would venture to put it to the house, that an exam of two millions:in time of war, was not a discreditable account to present, Why, what was the state of things at the commencement of the revolutionary war ? There was an excess of expenditure at the end of the first year, when the efforts made were trilling in comparison to these, more than doubling the provision which had been made by par liameat. The provision made by parliament was about Gut millions in that year, and besides that there were five millions, or even a greater sum of debt contracted by the government at the end of the first year. Nor did he mean to say there was any fault in Mr. Pitt or the government of that day, on account of the excess. It was in the nature of the operations of war that it was im passible to control their expenditure as in time of peace— it was impossible to limit those operations. The Howie of Commons must be prepared, and he knew they were pre pared, to make the meet liberal allowances not,he hoped, far intentional neglect or failure of duty on the part of the go verment, but for the real neenuty of circanistances,whsek it was impossible for any human forethought or care to cope with ; and he did say that, as a anti? of retrospect, the Hone of Commons had not to regret either a failure or on " abortion " in this matter ; for they had made provision sufficient in the very remarkable degree for the expenditure ' which had been incurred, and they had great reason to look back with satisfaction upon the course they had pursued. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI said he thought it very important that the boon sad the country should be favoured, at this period of the year, with the duancial statement of the Chan ced,: of the Exchequer, and regretted that circumstances , now prevented their reosiving it earlier ; but although the Chassellor of the Exchequer had now a right to the indul ges,* of the house, nothing could be more inconvenient than that, whilst they were so deprived of the official statement by the responsible minium, these desultory debates should arts, with statements that be, for one, was not prepared to admit were authentic, and not brought forward under any elressetaaces which could justify the discussion. He did net sey th at his honourable (rind was not perfectly autherbed to make the remarks he had made, but the Secretary to the Tensity bad taken ad= of them to enter into en exposition of the endition of the country, which was rather astonishing ad the maser in which it was conveyed. He (Mr. D prebend bearing from the proper officer, at the proper time.the authenti•c account. The question which bad now bees bronchi before the house was of a more limited cha racter. What was the simple fact before them? There was no doubt, in apite of the boned words of the right hen. member for the Univenity, that in March last the Hoses of Commons were under the impression that there was a loan of 1,760,000 L Exchequer Bills, of a temporary chem. I ter, which were to be defrayed from the acereieg revenue of the year; and that vote was agreed to and parsed with the full underataading that it was entirely distinct from the I nand vote of Exchequer Bills, that they were strictly s' bills of supply," and not to be mixed up with the annual 1 rote of the year; in fact, a temporary provision only.
