Lord CHELMSFOItD said that on Monday or Tuesday he would lay on the table some amendments which he wished to propose; aid which would relate, not only to matters of detail, but to important arum's of the memme. LIMES BY INCUMBENTS., llc., ItErSTRICTION BILL. Lewd LWTTELTON, in mooing the second reading of this an, aid it was lamella to correct a great abuse which Mal lingered in the mush and west of England. Formerly It was mac generally spnied ; and much scandal hail law caused by right reverend prelates—some of them of great iliNrinction —enriching their families b• the heavy prices which they leen' on the renewal of church Urea That practice hail been almost entirely put a stop to as regarded the higher dignitaries of the church ; but in mum p wt. of Englatml theft remained certain copybold beds which incumbents continued to treat in the same wermar. The object of the bill was to prohibit the practice to future, but it rayed the rights of the *Mating incum bents. The Bishop of LINVOLN hoped that some means would be lowed in committee to correct the end which he atop:a bseiled would dow from its adoption ie its present form. After a few woods hen Lord Lefraurox in reply, the bill was reel a second tine. _ SAVINGS BANK BILL The tool , went into otwennittee on the bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on going into committee of ways and salsas he would lay on the table his remaining reeolutioas, and hoe. pietis m/a should sot be surprised to as that they involved cm , tale points of difference. The amenilmeots, however, were all on secondary points. The first of them was in the lint resolution, relating to the guise duty on chicory, end the amendment would be to strike out the Channel Islands. Another amendment was in the seventh resolution, as to the spirit license, which be would limit to Great Britain, excluding Ireland. The third amendment was to clear the munch, of the Mb resolution, as to refreshment houses..

Mr. WHITESIDE gave anti. a of a motion on Tuesday with reference to netional education in Ireland. The rem- Wises he should more were to declare, that in the opinion of this house, a discretion should be lodged in those who had the administration of the parliamentary great in Ire land, tomeast with books and other menace the personsen gaged in the work of moral and religious edusitioe, who might ccoacientioualy deans to subscribe to the rules of the National Board; eimandly, that the advantages of the gnat ought tot to he daabod ts any Kesel. on the mead that the :Scriptures ware daily reed Iberia by as to thole who attes‘l.4 and thirdly, that is the spines of this house. the recent romeastruction was net eadenlated to give general eatialaetios, or to ensure as effected adminis tration of the valet.

I;aFitheriss Bill would core I,fore Wbitauntide. sir t' LEWIS mini the parlimoent.ory draftsman was a good deal Mullioned just now with the preparation of Man , ' hlll4 ; but this was one of the bills in his charge ; it lo . al hero begun, and would be spoedlly prepared. thins about laying off the debt, and they said there were Exchequer Bonds felliogdue next sear; but there were noue falling due in the, ',ear, and he was not aware that it was the practice of parliament to make provision for the payment of debt to fall due in future years. Did the right honourable gentleman the member for Bucks redeem his Esehequer Bonds! (Hear, bear.) In itGit the right boo. geutleman in hie last budget had an expenditure of 64,000,0U0f. to provide for, and the whole taxation of the country was 63,000,0011 L or 64,000,000(.; but he borrowed 2,0;10,0001. to pay off Exchequer Bonds—(hear, hear)—and he postponed the payment of them. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. U. Gibson) always thought the remission of excise duties was a conservative reform, and be was surprised to hear honourable gentlemen opposite argue and raid the abolition of this tax with all that kind of heat and spirit which belonged to • party debate. (Hear, hear.) The old tradition of the conservative party was th at they were against excise duties, and they said take off the duty on house manufactures, and let native industry be developed ; but keep it upon foreign imports. (Hear, hear.) The right honourable gentleman the member for Bucks and Lord Derby had repeatedly referred to the great evils of the excise system, and how injuriously it affected the manufac ture of paper; and they had stated that which he knew to be quite true, that it was not a manufacturer's quake, but that it affected equally the agricultural and commercial interests of the coutitq., (Cries of "Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") He contended that the repeal of this duty would enable the British farmer to dupers of at a profit the refuse of his agricultural produce, and foe which he could now get nothing. (Hear, hear.) The question was • moral one both as to employment and labour and the mills which existed in country districts. (Hear, hear.) He would ask whether there were no mills in BUckinghamsbire and Hertfordshire, and which had been closed by the operation of this excise system ? He believed this was • landed-inte• rest question just as much as it was • commercial one. (Hear.) The bon. member for Inverness•hire (Mr. &Elie) said the repeal of this tax would benefit no one but a few peony newspapers and some cheap literature ; but the hon. member was on • former mamma the advocate for an ex tension of knowledge and the repeal of this tax ; for when he (Mr. Gams) some years ago moved • resolution, "that whereas all taxes which directly impeded the diffusion of knowledge were highly injurious to the public interests and most impolitic as • source of revenue, this house is of opinion that such financial arrangements should be made as would enable parliament to provide for the repeal of the excise duty upon paper." He (Er. Gibson) put the lllSitar upon the ground of benefit to the cheap htentare of the country ; and he had the honour of receiving the vote of the hon. member for Invernessalore—(hear hear)—and now he CAMS down to the house and said he w ouldi not vote for the repeal of the paper duty because the only people who would be benefited by this repeal would be these literary persons ; and yet those were the very persons for whose benefit he voted for the repeal of this tax on a former occasion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RAILLIE explained. I said if them were a bona Ede honest surplus, I should have no objection to vote for the repeal of the tax ; but, I sad I did not believe there was any surplus whatever. (Rear, hear.) Mr. GIBSON said be bed rebated to the hon. gentleman's words, but as his a:Fanatics termed upon the question of surplus, sad if his vote depended upon the question between =sad tee, he (Mr. Game) was certain the bee. gen would vete far the of the to tower. (" Hear, repeal bear," sod laughter.) He (Mr. Gibson) must de an to ester into the ocesideration of prospective bud gets ; bat this be would say, that it was in vain to argue that • repeal of the excise duty on paper would necessarily be a total sacrificed its Jield to the exchequer. (Cheers.) &valence showed that the reverse of this we. the truth. In no case where they bad repealed as wage duty, bad it been found that they had lost as equal amount of revenue. The repeal of an excise duty must bring a great deal of labour into employment, it mud produce • urger circula tion in tads it must ineIVISO commerce. (QM.) Thus in various ways the revenue would be recouped it. on- gloat loss. Under all these circumstances, there being no substantive amendment before the house, he did trust the home would allow tar goverumeut to ggoo into committee. These resolution bed been well ; and viewing the scheme as a whale, be believed it was • proper and adequate mode of provnßag for the financial necessities of the year, whilst it gave remission of taxation in those direc dome where it would prove meet bandidal to the intonate of the countrg. (Cheers.) Mr. BALL wished the right hon. (oede ma would torn his attention for once only to the agricultural Interests of the country. There was no great article of oossamplice upon which the revenue pressed iro beavib. m vas malt. (Haar, bear.) The result wee that hurtful and deleterious sub sidiser were need in the mandadure, end a smaller ratity al malt and hops or used la meWag beer. But miOt further r refer to the experiment' al .

He regretted that the t hon. gentleman had not, in that reemrkeble courtaMp some which every one remembered, instead of hie "two fair damsels," turned his attention to the ulturiets. (A I laugh.) Gladly would they have his solicitations. Vartrit not have been an rempent—(laughter) —so as his other loves, but they would have ban wee sedate, more constant, and more re able. That was the dais, however, which had been most trampled on and most neglected by the right he.. gentleman. Mr. MARSH said he should support the right hoe. war men, whose voice had been so often raised in favour of civil end religious liberty, sad which now declared for the liberty al trade sad the benefit of the onsumer. Mr. "ARAM said that when he went mow his constituents he was afraid they would oak him why he indirectly supported a budget which appeared to them very isjurious sod very immisistent. How was be to give a satisfactory reply to suck a inertias? There was • very general desire that the objectscrable taxes me tea sod sugar should be repealed ; but if • motion were mule that the paper duties should Ds retained until a morefitting time, he would gladly support that monies.

(Hear, hear.) At the ma Mine ha ehrinkl be glad to see the malt tax taken off, as it premed heavily on the agricultural (stored. Iiord — INGESTRE said that, representing as he did a imp constituency, be felt it his duty to advocate the re. mission of the tea and auger duties rather then the= et the duties on paper. If it should be proposed, that of the repeal of the paper duties another penny should be taken a the income tax or a remission made in the tea and NI/Or duties, that motion would have his hearty support. Mr. PEASE thought the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer wee sound, true, sod honest. Mr. HORSFALL would not enter into the question of whether there was a surplus, for be might leave the respon. sibility of that to the government. But the house had something to do with the approplation of a surplus. They should make a distinction leideresa ordinary and extraor dinary taxes. The former were theme which had existed along time as an acknowledged seam of the revenue ; the latter were those which had base Wilts to MONK the extraordinary exigencies of the elate. The paper dirty must be put in the former elms, while be mould not bat ekes with the latter both ear 11•011100111 femme tax and the increased duties on tea and eager. Then, in orwanica honesty, the latter should be but removed. He had bees for twelve or fifteen years as advocate of the repeal of the paper duty ; but only when *we should be a marplae heaths ordinary taxes of the ocundry. (Hear, bear.) Another part of the taxation he mud allude to, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had called the minor taxes. To the mercantile community these were most vexatious and annoying Wes. One of them he would mention was the peony tax on im. mute. He had had sent to him from a constituent of his a Lege paper of 18 octavo pages, • return which that pi:i deates was obliged to make to the Custom.liouse every =toto his very greet inconvenience. Direct and indirect had been compared, and he feared it might be longer Wore the Chancellor of the Exchequer could do without either sort of taxation, but he ought rather to levy those lame which were leasteensibly felt. Mr. VANBITPART must admire the radiant eloquence and marvellous dexterity of the right hun. gentleman 'a but must regret that be had determined to retain speck, war duties on tea and sugar, and keep an extra penny on the Moms tax, in order to propitiate the hoc. member for Memingluun by abolishing that duty on paper, which wee one smelly collected, and improving in value every year. at Looking the state of foreign affairs, awl our own ember nerments at hease,lse thought it a very reckless proceeding. Mr. BAZLEY thought the budget was one of singular one showing great sagacity, and doing justice to r e .,=. By taking a peony off the present income tax, ft relieved the wealthy and middle classes, while the repeal of the paper duty would be • peat benefit to the iodustrious poor. He wee glad that his friends in Manchester had held an important gerbils, meeting and petitioned the house in favour of this WgM. Nothing could be more acceptable to the peat body of the people, to whom it was • very great boos. Major HAMILTON would tell • dory, 'if he might one the Scotch dialect of oar Loguage in the House of Com tism,. An boa. member, whose beaming face he was happy to use opposite him now, west down to see his constitueots • short time ago, and told them bow he had given his sup ped to the government, and to the pliant Premier who defended the rights of Omst Britain so well. The hon. member was cheered, bat Is an evil moment he went on to lay, "Is there nothieg more you want of me! Wouldn't you like • reform bill?' They said, " Na, st ; we'll hen nee rifarm heel ; what glide 'II the likes o' that be to r (A &ugh.) " Well, then," be said, " there nothing else I can do for you? All he gentlemen who sit on the benches below me, on my side the house, agree that nothing would do you working men so much good as • repeal of the paper duty.

Lion against marrying yer wife's seevter. (A laugh.) But theme just it. thing in this kiutra that puir folks want ; and that Is, to Mk' a the duty on tea and sugar. If ye WitMlido that, sir, ye media come down here and wag your pow amang as Edinboro' folks again." (Laughter.) Mr. A. BLACK—The hon. and gallant member must have dreamt gifiwbole attar. Major HAM/XTON could assure the house that the story was told him by a friend who lived near the place where the boo. member's constituents were assembled on that occasion. At any rate he believed it gave a true representation of what the feeling of the people of Scotland was, from the Tweed to John o'Groet's House. Mr. CAIRD said that if the hon. gentleman who had just spoken was anxious to appeal to his constituency on the cry of cheap tea and sugar, he was sure there would be no difficulty in having cheap tea and sugar, if he sincerely joined those members who on his skis of the holm were anxious for • reduction of expenditure. (Hear, hear.) He believed the Chancellor of the Exchequer had truly attri buted the falling off in some sources of revenue to the bed harvest of last year, but there were some points which bad been omitted from his consideration. The deficiency in the harvest was very great, but while it pressed with severity on the farmers, it was not so grievous to the consumers in 1 . its effects. The price of wheat was 16e. a quarter less than it was in 1854, 1635, 1856, and the beginning of 1857, mad that following a period of low prices must have bad a 1 considerable weight indeed in financial results. Com pared with the years he had mentioned, the rang! of the expenditure on bread for the last three years must have been something like 60,000,0001., and that enabled the people the better to bear the pressure of the bad season they had just experienced. If the harvest had been deficient to the amount of one-third, the enormous imports, which amounted to one million of quarters per month since August, not only supplied the immediate defi ciency, but would feed the people for the next four months without any serious pressure and with greatly diminished imports The harvest in Ireland, though deficient in wheat and potatoes, was abundant in oats ; and is Scotland there wea b :t r Eed general crop. He believed that a larger quantity of would be sown this year, and that the Chancellor 'of the chequer would derive a much larger revenue from that source than he calculated upon. It would be a peat advantage if, by the abolition of the paper duty, the heavy clay lands of the country were applied to the growth of straw. Lest year be had re. oared a letter from a large paper manufacturer of the oath, asking him if he could tell where a steady supply of 1,000 tau of straw might be depended upon. This showed that the paper manufacturers were turning their attention to the subject, and if the trade were perfectly free, no one could tell how far straw might be used for the production of paper. He had great pleasure in bearing hie testimony to the advantages which were likely to flow from the finan cial policy of the right hon. gentleman. (Hear, hear.) Major PARKER thought that the agricultural interest had not been sufficiently considered in the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. lb. MOFFATT said • great many recommendations Lad been made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to Low he should dispose of his surplus : but it appeared to him that the first thing the right hon. gentleman bad to do was to show that he really had • surplus ; about which he (the hon. member) coefeeeed he had very great dad*" 1 and he knew also that those doubts were shared bay may ' that looked carefully and anxiously into the Swarth at the country. (Cheers.) He would make a summary of his objections to the surplus. At present it stood at 1,900,0001. Very grave doubt existed as to 300,0001. of the customs ; end as to the estimated increase of inland revenue, 3000001. of it bad not been explained to the house. Then of the 750,0001. China money, he asserted, that they could not, consistently with justice, receive 100,0001. and 600,0001. of paper duty they could not possibly obtain. It resulted, therefore, that 1,300,0001. of his surplus they would certainly not get, and the remaining 600 0001. wan somewhat contingent (Cheers.) He should have been much more pleased to rapport the Chancellor of the Exche quer ; but they were there to take care of the public finances rather than of any special iadividoaL He would not go into the comparative merits el a redsetka of the duty on tea or of an abolition of that on papa. He would only quote the words of the right boa rattan= when he sai4 " Talk of tea being the rich man s luxury—it is the poor man's, and above all it is the poor woman's luxury." (Cheers.) There might be some reason why the right bon. gentleman had slue changed his views ; but he need not arms that question. His conviction was that there was no surplus to dispose of, and he had abundantly shown that there was no case for remitting any tax at the present moment at aII. (Chews.) Mr. WHffnl. DE, after noticing the ingenuity displayed in the budget in the contriesece of • machinery to get rid of the paper duty, and to exhibit an imaginary surplus, urged the inj which the Irish diallers had sustained by what he tamed the rash project of the Chancellor of the Exchequer regerdiag the sprit duties. As to the duty on paper Xr. Canon had relied upon an abstract resolution. But &home was oppressed with abstract resolutions ; there had been one on the gabled of reform. Supposing the ex istence of a surplus, the income-tax bad been stigma tised by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as an immoral tax, wUch could not be said oil the paper duty ; why, then, should the former be retained and the latter remitted? So with the war duties ca tea and sugar—reason and humanity recommended their repeal rather than the paper duty. He adopted the character of the budget given by Mr. Bar, that it was not an honest budget ; be trusted that this sen tence would be acted upon by the house, and he was confi dent that the decision would be approved by the country. Mr. HALIBURTON Indulged in some severe but very gourd criticisms on the Maeda! phut To my that the tax on paper was •• tax upon know ledgewas the Twin* cent he had ever heard. (Hear. hear.) If them was one thing more detestable than smother, it was cant., whether political or religious, and lathing was more destructive in its consequences. (Hear, hear.) Last year • great deal WWI said about America—a country which had ',either the incubus of a monarch, nor • Houma of Lords, nor an established church—a country laid out like a checkered board, beautiful to look at (Laughter.) All that amazed and astonished him, because of the ignores*, which was ex hibited. It was . surprising that sensible men could fall into such delusion. (Hear, hear.) But they heard no more of those things now, nor was it likely they would smith. Nothing but cent had been the cause of the dis =KM of the United States of America. He spoke it boldly, that it was the result of political cant. (Cries of " Ques tion.") As the subject appeared distasteful he would pass oa to soother. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought in his self-glorification on Monday night to allude in proper disrespectful and scornful terms to a petition which he had presented from the colonies of North America, on the equalisation of the timber duties, and he took great excep tion to the insolence of the language of the right hon. gentleman. (061er, order.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rid he rose to complain of the language of the hon. member, not on L personal ground", but because it bad reference to the dignity of the aw. The ii'EASER said the expresswos of the hon. member were not parliamentary. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.) Mr. HALIBURTON said he bowed to the decision of the chair ; be withdrew the words which he had pronounced, and he regretted that he had used them. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) U he bad spoken warmly, he felt deeply. (Meer.) The petition which he presented—(question.) The was part of the question which was under cluscuarion, via., • reduction of duties for which credit had been takes, sad he submitted that ho was within the limits of the dis mission. The petitioners prayed that on a certain class of timber—beards, battens, and deals—the duty might not be taken off without some notice ; but it was decided against them, and they submitted, and there was an end of the matter. But ho was very much astonished to hear it again alluded to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in the language to which he had taken exception. (Hear.) Their request was not unreasonable; but if it were, was that randier! Had no unreasonable requests come horn Ireland, :Scotland, and other prate of the empire? (Cries of " Di. Tide") When the right hon. gentleman said he had beard predictions of ruin horn the North American colonies he had been grimly deceived. Rubs! It was not in the power of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by whatever legislation he introduced, nor in the power of parliament, to ruin that country. It was too young, vigorous, and enterprising, and too full of removes to be ruined by anything except the hand of God or its own kill,. (Hear, hear.) The right boo. gentleman could never have heard those prediction' ; and as to the " doleful wail" across the Atlantic, why that was not language to be applied to • respectful petition from these colonies, which, now that • disruo• Lion bad taken place in the United States, would take the lead among the nations on the American continent. From 1620, wham t h e Puritans first landed on its shores, to the present day, no such thing as • doleful wail had been heard coming from that country. The right hoe. gratlaman's nerves really seemed to be strung on the principle of an Zoller, harp, every breeze against the chords of which produced doleful and melancholy music. He should advise the right hon. gentleman to cross the Atlantic, or he would find that his harp would very soon be rendered mate. He would recommend him rather to go to Coventry. (Laughter.) There he would hear • doleful tale. (" Hear, hear, and " Oh, oh.")

Then' be would on pallid cheeks aid attenuated frames, broken looms, and broken hearts, that would make the stout man shudder and the good man weep. (laughter and " hear, hear.") Thera, indeed, he would hear a doleful wail. Or, if lie would not go there, let him go to Oxford. (A laugh.) Ile would there see his own constituents wan dering about those shady groves of Arcadia like the rem aining of • past aye, occupying themselves with the hobbies of • past age, and teaching the dialects of the dead to living mac. (Laughter.) lie would hear moans about a tacit contract between him and them having been broken. Who- ever had the high honour of representing that great, learned, and venerable institution should be a staunch supporter of the institutions of church and state, and not • man who gave a cold and reluctant vote, or a silent and sneering support, In their interest— Damn with faint praise, assent with den issr, And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer. (Laughter and cries of " Divider) What had they got to divide upon ? (Ironical cheers from the ministerial benches.) They would divide in good time, and perhaps hon. members opposite would be surprised at the result. (Cheers.) He had now done with that subject. (Divide.) He entered his protest against such a reception as his fellow countey mess on the other side of the Atlantic bad received from the right hew seetkeitaa. They did not doom it at hie Made. (Hear, bear.) They were a loyal people. They had given a reception to the heir apparent of this empire in the last mason such as no member of the House of Hanover had ever experienced since that family had sat on the throne of England. (Hear, bear.) They vene reted our institutions, and were fond of British connexion. He thought that every member of that house would agree with him when he said that the iodepeudence and manliness of that people, and their loyalty and attachment to this country, euteded them to our respect ; and their lineage, Magner, and oonsanguinity to us entitled them at all events to our best attention. (Cheers.) Mr. B. OSBORNE bad listened with respect to the hon. member forHuntingdon, and hadheard him say that thebndget was neither sane, nor moral, nor even honest to the country. (Ommition cheers.) If gentlemen opposite thought so, why wrnome forward and meet the budget boldly by a negative? Did they think to do as they bad done io the case of the Reform Bill of last year, awl talk it out' (Hear, hear.) Why had not the hon. member for Huntingdon moved • direct negative' But no. " He back recoiled, he knew not why, Frightened at the sound himself had made." The hon. member had sneered at the budget, had ques tioned the existence of • surplus ' • but he made no motion. Then there was the hon. and enthusiastic member for Cam bridgeshire. To him he (Mr. Osborne) might say, in the words of Collins-- " With woeful accents, wan despair Low, sullen sounds his grief beguiled, A solemn strain and mingled air ; 'Twits sad by starts, by fits 'twu vend." Laughter.) But that description answered for the whole of the opposition. If they said that the budget was neither moral, political, nor honest, they should come forward rind vote want of confidence in the government. Were they prepared to do that ? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. member for Bucks had, the other evening, said he had not made up his mind; and as for the bon. member for Hun tingdon, who mould discover his meaning ? They said the budget of ministers was unsafe, dishonest, and immoral, and yet they were not prepared to tarn them out. He (Yr. Osborne) hoped they would not take ' back their budget; he hoped that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would act with his usual firmness, and that the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade would persist in dividing the home, even if it came tea vote of want of con fidence. Wain EDWARDS listened to many excellent speeches during the course of this debate, and he came to the emielusion that instead of • surplus we had • defi ciency of two millions and • half. Under such circa= stances be felt theT could not go fairly before the country sad say they were in • position to reduce tematica. (Hair, hear.) Mr. MAGUIRE said be should confine himself to the subject of the paper duty. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer had stated, on his responsibility, that there was • surplus, and the question was whether this was • time for the repeal of that duty. The paper manufacture wee • most important one ; it was in an embarramed cooditirm , and he eonteaded that the home was bound by the promise made to the trade. He showed the pressure of the duty upon the manufacture of which was almost crushed by it in Ireland. The aboliti on of the swiss duty upon paper would be one of tall greatest boom confined upon the country, and the obligati= up= parliament to repeal it wee string. Mr. HORAMAN moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord PALKEW3TON said the debate might be adjourned till this day (Friday), but he understood that the two boa. gentlemen w bad notices of motions this day were sot willing to rondo, and therefore it meat be taken on Monday.

Mr. BRADY moved for a select committee to inquire Tito the propriety of establishing a mode of public convey &ace by means of iron rails in streets and highways. Sir .T. SHELLEY said that the proposition of his hon. friend appeared to him somewhat extraordinary. He be lieved they bad Mr. Train again in another form, and there fore he should divide the house against his boo. friend's motion. His hon. friend might try his own band at a bill. Mr. WHALLEY said he lived in the neighbourhood of Birkenhead, where street rails existed, and he never heard anything but praise of them. He believed that Mr. Train's bill had bow rejected on technical grounds only, and as he thought the motion of the boa. gentleman was most reason able he should suSit t: Mr. COOPER it would be waste of time to go into committee to a bill, and should recommend the hon. gentleman rather to prepare a bill himself. (Hear.) Mr. LIDDELL hoped the house would pause before it mooted to the motion. Those tramways were utterly in. coesktest with the construction of oar streets, and he doubted whether any plan would ever be discovered of makiag them oessistent with the safety and convenience of the pablie. (Hear, beer.. O'Bi sad Mr. HANEXT supported the motion. Mr. MOWBRAY said that hon gentlemen who had had any experimme of committees on metropolitan subjects would be quite satisfied of the impracticability of the motion.

Lord .1. I:UK-SELL—With regard to the question of the hon. goutluman, it is certainly true that the Austrian go %eminent luirhoars out maintains the troops of the late Duke of Modena oa the Venetian territory, The last we he aril of theta was that there NW a boils of 3,000 moo in the neighbourhood of Basun°. With regard to the queetiou whetter that is • menace or hostile de monstration of Austria kminst Italy, I have to say that we have received repeated mamma, and of very recent date, that them is no intention of making any aggres sion on the Italian territory by the Emperor of Austria 01 his troops ; but that of course the troops of the Duke of Modena being there is only, as it were, a protest on the part of the Emperor of Austria, that the Austrian goverunieut do nut acknowledge the transfer of the temtorie, of the Duke of Modena to the present King of Italy. I cannot say that it is, io the bon. gentleman's words, a menaoe or hostile demonstration, but it is no doubt an unsatisfactory thing, that two opposing claims should be maintained, the title of the Duke of Modena, on the one side, tieing still recognised b the Emperor of Austria, and that tide being of course denied on the other side by the Kiug of Italy, who has assumed the government of the territory of Modena as part of his kingdom. RAILWAY EiGINEER.S. Mr. BENTINUK askeitielineideaof the Board of Trade if he had received a deputation of the railway engineers, calling attention to the manner in which that clan of railway servants were overworked, and asking for the interference of the government. Mr. M. GI WON answered that some weeks since a de potation was received at the Board of Trade, which was a deputation of engine drivers, but he did not know whether they represented any great number of engine driven else ' where. They represented that they ware overworked, and wished for some change of the agreement with their em ployers. They were reedy to work • smaller number of boors, at a reduced rate of wages. Hit reply wee that the Board of Trade had no power to interfere in the matter ; and that so far as any legislation might be contemplated, he gave them his own opinion, that he did not think par liament would eutertain a proposition for regulating the hours of labour for adult males upon railwaya (Hear.) He certainly eiritaght that the government itself mold not usefully interfere in regulating either the wages or the labour, or interfere in any other way between the employers and the engine-drivers. He must say that be had heard with great aatonishment the statement they made as to the loss hours they had to work ; but he could not see how the Board of Trade could do anything in the use. ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE BUDGET. On the 'notice for going into Committee ofWye end ?deem, . . _ . Mr. FITZGERALD resumed this debate, mirth% first to the speech made by the hon. member for Heating dos, the other day, is which that gentleman (Mr. T. Bair), dwelling upon the unsettled state of affairs at home sr abroad, contsioded that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer bad sot diffidently estimated the probable expeditors that we should be obliged to incur, wield he hail been too sanguine about the receipt of the Treasury for the next year. That hoe. gentleman who entreated the goverment to give some explanations to satisfy the anxiety of the house, was followed by the hoc. member for North Liacolaskire (Mr. B. Stanhope) with an speech ; d sad last) the boa. member far frimford, with his practice keow of firer put some restious to the government on various neaten. Yet not or mem ber of the Iltfali bad yet natured to get up and de fend the project for which they were collectively reepoesible. He should have hoped, for example, to have heard from the Noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs what he trught of the peubability of retiree that item of 740001., which the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer expected he would receive. But what was it that people said of this budget—not only the people out of doors, but those who sat in that house, and eves tliuirofeseed followers of the government? They tot'll everybody said, that it was a framed not sole y from finencial, bat from political corderaticas, looking to the state of parties in that house. They said that it was forced upon the house—Orr, hear) —became some members of the cabinet desired the sup of a noisy, but not a very influential section of that house. They said that the statement made by the rigid hon. geetle man was not accurate, but calculated to mkkied the rule, and that it was • policy which the house ought set to mac tie—to give up at this time a source of revenue, a tee which could not be retrieved or reimposed, whatever might be our necesaitise is the future, and that would resolve an oddities to thins burthens which had already borne almost intolerable to the mushy, (Chews.) He believed it was: pretty generally understood that Mews' a emersion to the hose. member for Birmingham, and wYe ther that was • corm creditable to the goverment or eel culate,i to raise the character of public men he woad have the house to judge. He found Mr. Bright himself &din that the budget wan not to be merely • device to provide ways and ulcer for the service of the year with the had pomade dieritishetion to the leading constitsencies repro seated in the Howse of COMIMOUS ; it was not to be • mesh notice of finaocial and political tricks to supply the Trea sury, but • combination to appease party interests. He did not believed possible Mar wordabetter calculatedtocharac teriesthe object of the financial proposition than those which hail the sanction of the hon. member for Birmingham. (Hear.) The hoe. meniher thee pointed out examples of what he considered to be unfair arid deceptive statements, and ra tifier the accuracy of Mr. Ghdstone's adheres of the expenditure fur the current year, and his antiCipatioss of the revere. He could not understand the grounds upon which be had calculated that he would receive the sum of 750,0001. from China, inferring from the details be med, and from the stipulations of the treaty of Tiers* that not cue farthing of this sum could come to the heads of the Chassalor of the Exchequer. Wi th de Ft to the paper duty, he denied that the Loose was to its repeal either by its resoluties or by the 101 l yowl; but if was deeply and solemnly pleoZod to repeal tie 'mew tax and the tea and seem war ditties, and it there was a real ▪ Ne e d resew" Is should, he costimided. Y 8 applied to the of duties that would relieve the peat balk of the Mr. t i tBSON said the financial scheme which had been submitted to the house by the government had under gone reach sad varied discumion. He remarked that the investigations of boo. members appeared to have led them upon different points to differeut conclusions. It was not fur the government to complain of the meet searching in quiry into each Miliaria' proposals as they might think fit upon their responsibility to recommend to parliament. He should be nue of the last to agree that the House of Commons should be prorated from making the most search. ing investigation into the financial schemes of the_ govern ment. (Hear.) But there was this remarkable difference which struck him—it was that while the has baronet the member for Stamford (Sir S. Nartheote) told them he was satirist with the Mirka en motor and excise as submitted to that hoer by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the hoe. gentleman who bad just spoken despised those attitudes. aed told the house the government were misleading them, in • Yielder erasion of taxation, as to the probable yield of this greet source of revenue. He (Mr. Barn) believed those estimates had been honestly made up in cooferenoe with those heads of department, who could only judge of what might be the result upon the revenue. He believed them estimates would have been just the same if the right hoe. gentleman the member for Bucks had bees in the place of his right hoe. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Those were not estimates in which all the departments entered into • plot with the Chamomile. of the Exchequer in order to cook up mounts to raidead the House of Commons. They were hardly made by area of judgment and experience a• to what wad& be the yield el those sources of revenue for the caning fiords" year. Looking to those who were on the spot, sad who were responsible for the advice they gave, with inereasir trade with China, the government were ef opinion that the sum to be handed to Mr. Bruce would probably be 750,0001. He did not deny that • flourish log state of trade was the forerunner of • full Exchequer. He admitted it was not prudent to take too Penguin@ • view of our reemrces, if they saw Get the great breaches of our industry might be affected injuriously . • but all those considerations Lail had their fall weight with her Majesty's government and the departaseete of the country in making their eatimstes of the probable meld of Dm taxes for the present financial year. hear.) Were they to *Dore all that had paned • 7.! ferenee to the paper duty? (Hear, her) Was the irorernment to assume that the votes of the Here of Commons were to be no guide to their counsels! To whom were her Majesty's Ministers respnosible ! Why, to the Douai. of Commons. (Hear, hear.) It would have been inioceetide to have used over the paper duty and to have Tryon."' the remission of soy other. (Hear, best.) Hon. gentlemen roust see that the course pursued by the govern ment was consistent, hOll. 111r0411, 0114 bold—one which he believed the house would support them in. (Hear, bear.) What were the arguments fur not rirreling the paperduty ? The hon. member for Stamford said, Do rot reveal it, be cause if you do you cannot put it oe ain." Why not? Because the hon. baronet knew that the benefits from the repeal would be so apparent tot country that no minister would thick it even for the interest of the public revenue to restore it to its place. (Hear, hear.) He would remind the hes. brood that it was never intended to be a perma nent duty. (Hear, hear.) That was the groat point with the House of Commons, end bed the government pared it over they would have heels guilty of disrespect to the hewny and have tomato's their restitutions' duty. Bat the did sot act last year without recommendatioa, for the hoe. baroiset the mauler for Soiree:oil:ire (Sir W.

In the committee of which Lord Llanover is chairman, on Scottish railway communications, the bills of the Daublane, Donee, and Callender, and that of the Mane Valley, were Famed ; and the cue of the Esk Valley line, for the accommodation of the collieries in that district, was opened by Mr. Calvert, Q.C. After the me, minatioe ci witnesses by Sir T. Phillips and learned counsel on the Rhyrnsey Railway, who appeared in opposition for the Taff Vale Railway, the committee, through their chair man (the Duke of Richmond), without carrying the case to a conalosion, intimated that it was " not expedient to pro ceed with the Rhymney bill." The hearing of the Cardiff and Caerphilly Railway comes on next. Earl de Winton 's committes permed the bill incorporating the telegraphic system of Chevalier Bonelli into a company, and by which it is proposed to transmit telegraphic messages and de spatches upon an improved and more rapid principle, and also the bell of the Sta ff onlahire Potteries Vi'ater Works Company. In the Commons' Committees the cam of the Stockport, Timperlev, and Altriochem Railway was closed, and that of the London and North-Western Company's proposed system of Cheshire lines, which are virtually competitive under takings to the Stockport, Timperley, and Altrincham, was opened by Kr.

MARKETS. earrox.—LivaftroOL, Apart 25.—Our market continues exceedingly firm, with a good business doing. The sales are 12,000 bales, including 9,280 American. 44d. to Sid. ; 2,000 Surat, 3d. to Cal. ; 600 Egyptian, 7d. to 9id. ; 120 Saranham, at 84d. to 104 d. ; of which 3,000 are for specu lation and export. The week's import is 106,935 bales. WOOL AND WOWSTED.—Baanroan, Aram 25.—A good deal of all kinds has changed hands during the peat week, but not so much as during the previous fortnight. Skin wools have been much sought idler, and recently there has been more doing in Coburg wools. Some aorta of fleece wools and matchings are difficult to meet with. Stocks in the hands of staplers are not large. Prices keep fi rm, and staplers have difficulty to buy in the country to meet the prices in this market. Very few nails and shorts are pro duced, and those to be had are readily taken into consumption, but without any recent im provement in prices. There is rather more doing by . the export houses in worsted yarns, but the prices accepted by the spinners leave room for a very uncer tain profit. Now that stocks which bad accumulated have been cleared off, it remains to be seen whether wool will be brought to meet spinners' prices, or yarns will rise to accord with the price of wool. In the home trade, there is but little increase in the consumption, as manufacturers fear to increase their production until the political horizon of both continental Europe and Anierim is cleared of the doubt and uncertainty which are at present an discouraging. The fine weather has bad the effect of inducing merchants to ilo rather more in spring goods. The goods, however, are brought out of stock anti manufac turers do not at present feel benefited. Continental and American mesehanta operate to a very limited extent. It is said that Prussia and the other Zollverein states will not remain behind France in commercial matters, and that they o) , a b ou t to follow in the wake of free trade by reducing the duty upon woollen and mixed fabrics.
