Mr. BAINES considered the scheme of the government es isle, Comprehuidve, and wise, as a whole. He gave a warm, though not an unqualified want to title great plea upon these broad grounds. It was a *impieties of the fabric of free trade; in the taxes remitted regard was had to the interests of weenturs, to. both of the nation; and it es tablished sew bonds of friendahip and renteercial inercourser between England and her nearest neighbour. He dwelt uponlie adveniagee which had been the fruit of our pro (rendre advances in the path of free trade, in the vast ex posers of our commerce, the Improvement In every branch of icidnetry, and the teener of national wealth, Mr. P. BLACK BURN did not mean to deny the &Clean loges that had resulted from for trade, but thought it rather hard that members opposite should claim all Sir Robert Peers measures as belonging to their side of the home. In his opinion we should derive no benefit under the French treaty by the reduction of the duty upon wine and brandy. The treaty was supposed to be for tee benefit of th e manatee. hirers lad iroa end coal masters of this country ; but was it I fair to call upoe the people to pay • large sum of money in order to procure a certain advantage for a particular clam P ' It wee very hard that we should be called upon to pay • - large amount to introduce these gentlemen into a new mar ! ker. His certainly thought that was contrary to the rules of . free trade, and under all the circumstances he slimed support o the am -ndment of the hon. member for Essex. 1 hfr. MARSH said he was prepared fully to support the financial scheme of the Chancellor of the Exohequer. It was : a fact that at Rotterdam a bottle of claret cost only two chilling', whit at Dover it amid not be procured under ' live shillings. The rearm of this was that vessel' want direct from Bordeaux to any part of Holland, but they could not go direct from Bordeaux to Dover, and the consequence was that the hutelkeeper at Rotterdam sold 100 bottles of claret where the man at Dover would only sell one. He believed that In very many instance., where there wee an immoderate customs duty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer got nothing. With regard to the proposed reduction of duty on dates end figs, he had no doubt that the sonerumptiou in i this country from the reduction would be enormous. Manor ' of people lived on date., and got stroog on them, and they were a very wholesome food, and if figs were let in the would also eater as an article of food for the people. With regard to wise, it had been said that in Scotland and other places wise was at one time much more in general use than at present. Any one who looked into that curious relic of social history, entitled "The Household Expenses of the Duchess of Nortlunbetlind,” would fled that the maids of honour had an allowance made to them every day of two bottles of claret. He must admit chat times were changed, for neither maids of honour nor say other maids could now take two bottles of claret a day. (Laughter.) But be hoped to see the time when every person of sway class might be enabled to have • glass of win.. At Gibraltar very good rough Catalonian wine could be procured at about two pence a bottle, and be should be glad to see the day when a Common porter could go into • shop in London and get • tumbler-full of it. He might be over sanguine, but he trusted to see the day when every man in his own home might have the products, the comforts, and even the luxuries of every soil and every climate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HORSFALL rid that en hon. gentleman in the c mess of this discussion bed upbraided the hon. mower who brought the present motion forward, because be said that he adopted free-trade principles in deference to publio opinion. That was a most unfortunate observation, brume at this sarylmement, when we were attserptiag to establish free trade with Frazee, no one could say that the Emperor was not bowing to public opinion. It bad berme the policy of Eng• land not only to cultivate free trade in Frain but in every nation on the continent. (Hear, her.) There were those who thought we ought to retain the power of prohibiting the export of coals In time of war ; bat he was not 'held of the mischief which some people lenegined would ensue from as unlimited eapcet of coal. It wee well known that coal could be procured not only la Belgium Nat io Russia, and even France itself, and although that coal might not be as euitable as ours we knew very well that it would be used at any c 'et and udder any difficulties, and would be found mat effective for any prudes' purpose in the thee of war. (Hear, bear.) He, however, found fault with the treaty upon the ground that It contained no reference to the shipping of this country. The house would probably be surprised to learn the extent of the foreign trade between the United States and France. In the year 1856-1867 no Mai than 416,000 bales of cotton were taken from the United Stites to France. In 18 ifi there were 368,000 boles taken; In 1859, 440,000 bales. Aced calculating from 1869 op to the present ceriod, there promised to be an export of cotton this year from the United Bates to France amounting to half • million of bales. If French vessels enjoyed so large a share of our trade we could understand the indisposition on the part of the French government to legislate upon the ornbjeot; bat what woe the het P In an official document issued within the last few days by the French government, the admission was made that 9-10th, of the shipping between the United States end France was American shipping. Why, then, should France hesitate to place the shipping of this country on a tooting of equality with that of the United States, by the abolition of the differential duties? (Her, hear.) At present the dies rented duty oa cotton In English verde wee a halfpenny per pound, or nearly equal to the whole freight. Under such oireumstances it was impossible that English verb could compete with American vessels. The noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs told a deputation who waited upon him, that negotiations were going on with the French government with the view of trims relief to British dor, and he hoped they would be successful. (Hear, hear. He had resived • letter from an English retain at anther' stating that freights could not be ob tained there for Bri tish ships, With regard to aphis, he regretted that the noble lord had not adhered to his original suggestion, to reduce the duty on French brandy to 10s. per gallon, instead of Bs. 3d. as now proposed; because, by Imposing the former sum, a much larger revenue would have been obtained. He had always, both publicly and privately, advocated the repeal of the paper duty, but he confessed he was divested to look for Its abolition to surplus revenue. (Hear, hear.) If the repeal of this ditty had been deferred another million would have been retained, which, added to the additional sum gained by fixing the duty on brandy at 10s., would have enabled the Chanoellor of the Exchequer to propose a 7d. instead of 10d. income tax, which, no doubt, would have received the general approbation of the house. There woe the tax ca packages and some other items of lus tre proposed by the Cbanoellor of the Exchequer which he thought anklet, but it rive him great pleasure to say that the ,Chancellor of the Exchequer had listened to all the reprementatione that had been made to him on the subject with the greatest courtesy and candour, and shown a disposition to distribute these imposts in the stoat equitable manner. (Hear, hew.) The motion before the house, he regretted to say, he could not support. (Hear, bear.) If the hon. member for North Emu had confined his resolution to the income tax, and said the house was not prepared to disappoint the just expectations of the wuntry by largely lowering the income tax, he would have cup ported him ; but he could not vote for • resolution which would negative the proportion of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to sweep from the tariff a long list of duties. (Cheer.) Notwithstanding the predictions of the bun. member who sat below him, he believed that the removal of those duties would give an impetus to trade, and conduce materially to the prosperity of the country. (Chews.) Mr. BYNG looked at the budget and the commercial treaty as one great whole, and, thugh three were minor poiote of detail which required revision, he gave his cordial assent to the scheme of the government, which from hie heart be believed was not only the most comprehend's but the most holiest Meehan which it had ever fallen to the lot of • Chancellor of the Exchequer to submit to the Hones of Commons. It would be of infinite advantage, not oily to this country and France, but to the credited world. Mr. BEACH expired his belief that the financial mea sures were founded on a basis more specious than solid. Though he approved of some portions of the budget, he must support the amendment. Sir F. BARING said he had never been hostile to commercial treaties, and had no objection to a bargain with France; but be did object to our excluding ourselves from 1 taking the same course with another country. While we made a commercial treaty with France we nailed the possibility of negotiating curb a treaty with Spain. He pro ' ceded to Madder tbs advantage expected from the treaty, and showed that while reductions of duty had aegmented the consumption of tea and sugar, the saw West had sot followed in the cam of wine and spirits. Bat than were political reasons, he observed, for the treaty; then, why not form commercial treaties with other powers P He was dermas of being on the most friendly terms with France; bet, in regard to Italy, although England wished Italy to be free, prosperous, lad lodependeat of other coun tries, he did not sad that to be the policy of France, and he did not desire that we should connect ourselves with that policy. After some remarks upon the r il l the strop duties, and the paper duty, be the atteation of the house seriously to the state in which the finances of the country would be left if the budget was pared. It wee proposed, he observed, to continue the income tax for ono year more ; but what did the house suppose would be the deficiency in 1881-82 P Takiog the expenditure to be the same as now, the deficiency would be 12400,0001. at least. But then, it would be end, there would be the income tax at 101., and the war duties on tea sod sugar agata continued. This, however, would not do; there woad still be a deithieney of 1,600,0001. or 2,030,0001., and sew taus would be indispensable. Mr. BRIGHT end the epee& ef Sir F. Baring In every pert hold up • hobgoblin to deter the house from pureeing a course which had been so succeeded of late yews. Unto,. tunarly for them views, there was but one voice through oat the country he favour of the genre plan of the govern moot, and It was probable that if this debate was continued mach longer, the opposition to It would fade like • dis solving view, and there would be no one l e ft t o vo t e for the soi;nolnisot which had been proposed, which was directed against everythisg—to defeat the bud get, to put as end to the treaty, to pet out the government, and countenanced nothing bat His 'eat expenditure which had been lectured. The treaty with Freer realised one of hie most asked wishes, end he urged the government, in his plus in the home last year, to 'tempt some such coriveation. Not sore Home wog I . "6". EN I N : E AA after that negotiations were entered into between diatinaubbed pawns In Francs and XI. Cohdat, with a view to the sdopttoo of the treaty. As to the argument tout the treaty Wll/5 a eubmission to Frame, there was a potty in that country which declared that it involved a submission to England. Oo the bee of the treaty, looting to eurrounding circamatamm, Franco coacediel Ave times as much as England did. If from absolute' prohibition the French reduced their dudes oa the snicks we export, which amounted to 95,000,0001. • year, lewes an theivalent for the I redactions we coooeded, eve, if the duties fanged from 10 is SO per mat. The walla Poulos will be Morel as that of the United Stem, to which we expelled Isla year over twenty-two millions' worth, and it was odly rearkemble to suppose that the bade with Prams, which die now nil, i would rise is something of a like proportion. Alluding to p Me'. Dierasil, Mr. Bright maimed—There wee a time , when the rigist bon. gentleman wee not the leader of a great petty. He wee a giant then in another field. He vented a lofty position there to ustone one which is more labs , rious. I know not whether the line which he has now taken is to any extent more useful than the line be abandosed. But in those very admirable books, published partly tor the edit cation, and partly, end perhaps rather more, for the amuse ment of his countrymen, he hu described the node of living of en English nobleman of great wealth at Pans. Be says : I " Lord M onmouth's d inners at Paris were 4:slab rated," and after describing the luxury of these eotartainments, he proceeds: • But the effect was destroyed by the mere circumstance I that every one of these Preach dinners wee served upon cold plates. The lesson of the custom or the necessity which a nation so celebrated for its patronornio tastes would gladly remove, is that originally Preach porcelain is so briitie that it cannot endure the proper amount of heat." The right hen, gentleman with an instinct which I cannot too much admire brought his political sagacity to bear on this subject. I " Now if," he said, •• we only had that treaty of commerce with France--(cheap and laughter)—such as hes so oft ea been on the point of completion, to give our unrivalled poroelain in exchange fix the wines of France-- la dinners of both nations would be improved. The English would pin a delightful beverage, and the French, for the first time in their lives, would dine off hot plates"—(laughter),-and he concludes with an srgnroent, or rather en expression, which I recommend to the hen. gentleman'. supporters : "An irresistible argement to prove the advantages of a com mercial reciproc i ty. (Cheers and laughter.) One other of those horrid phantoms which has been raised to alarm simple traders throughout the country has been based—if • phantom can be based—upon the question of opals; and there is run ning in the minds of some honest people this notion, that we can do exactly as we like with regard to contraband of war, and all thou subjects over which England was supposed to be paramount as Empress of the Bees. But only lest summer, during the war in Italy, a dimusel.a was curled on in the English paper, particularly those which supported the government of which the right hon. gentleman wu a distinguished member, as to the propriety of declaring coal to be °entre bud of war. At that time hon. gentlemen may recollect in the English newspapers statements made that the French government were building a great number of flat-bot:orosi boats, which were said to be particularly wanted for the coo wysoce of coals, but were admirably adapted for landing soldiers upon a sandy beech. Weil, it did happen that while these discussions were going on, and government papers supposed not to be very favourable to France were discussing the question, the French government did order boats for the conveying of coals to their amen:ale, lest the English government should adopt so hostile a step as prohibiting them. But there arrived at Marseilles two Tomsk from toe United States laden with wale; and do you suppose your notion of what is contraband of war, and your notion of England being miefreas of the seas, coati very long prevent the United States from supplying either France or Austria with coals P (Hear, hear.) Bat this question of coals, with reference to the revenue of France, is a mere bagatelle. A statement the been made dating the last few days in the newspapers on this subject. The whole quantity of coal im ported into France is 160,000 toss. The extreme oast, therefore, to the French government, if you were to prohibit the export of coals, would be not more than an additional 6s. or 10s. a ton; and the extreme cost would be 80,0001, sot vary much to a government which wee is the exigency a war. And, therefore, for any man to raise this question of coals chows how contracted must be his views and how smell his Information. But another point which has been raised is, that the benefits to Francs are Immediate, whilst the conousions to this country from France are prospective. All I can say is, that if I were • Frenchman I should say it is a great pity my government dos not follow the example of its English neighbour. Surely, if both countries have been greatly in error, that which soonest escapes from its error will gain the mint. But it is clear that the Emperor of the French cannot act in this question without some preparation. He does not ob ject to reduce the duty in July of this year, from any doubt of the good seams or the justice of the policy he proposing. But be knows that great changes cannot be made too tepidly in the face of many prejudices, and some time must be given to reconcile public opinion at large. It has also been said that we are allowing ourselves to act according to the convenience of the French Emperor, who takes this opportunity of escaping a diecueion on this sub ject with his own subjects. But, sir, we are not responsible for the French constitution, and have quite enough to do to repair the breaches in our own. But very likely in Femme there were difficulties such as we experienced in 1848, when Sir R. Peel proposed to repeal the cora-laws. This is, in fact, one of the concessions which the Freocsh govern ment is bound to make in any great change of policy. No doubt in France there are now just the same symptoms of opposition as prevailed here upon the question of the repeal of the can laws. They all remembered that Mr. Chowler—(hear)—who said that the farmers had more horses than any other clue of men in the country, and that they knew bow to ride then—(laughter)—end he added, he believed, they weakt much rather ride upon Menchester than upon Paris. I hope Mr. Chowler is now penitent and OM verted—(laughter) ; bat there were men of this clam in France ; and what do the French Chowlere say P (Hear, hear.) Why, that this treaty would have to he sent by cannon shot. (Hear, hear.) That is much the same sentiment in shorter and severer lan guage. The right bon. gentleman the member for Bucks did not. I think, speak with quite the fairnees he should have done, when, In discussing this treaty, he spoke of my hon, friend the member for Beata . as a secret nego tiator ; as if there wits anything not perfectly honest and cre ditable in the course my hon. friend has taken. Now, negotiations between nations are not generally, so far as my reading extends, conducted in the market-place. It was necessary and most desirable that these negotiations, until they oame to be financial conclusion', should be left unknown to the world. But that uegotlatiou, if secret, was at least stiocesefal ; foe I think, never in the his tory of commerce was a treaty of snob magni tude, and involving each important interests, concluded in so short a period of time. (Hear, hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke in much more graceful lupine of my hon. friend. Hs feels grateful to him, as I do, and as I undertake to say the great majority of the people of this country do. (Cheers.) He spoke of him as the benefactor of his country, though undecorated and unrewarded ; and although he is undecorated so far as stars and crosses go, nothing will, I think, be a greeter reward to him than the approbation and recognition of his services by his country and by the world. (Cheers.) He is honouree by the confidence of two governments end by the affections of the great body of the people of this country, and as for reward le is rich in the consciousness that his public life has been devoted to the public. good, and that in whatever part of the world la to be found an Intel ligent humanity, there are to be found hearts ready to Ideas the beneficence of the labour in which he has been employed. So much for the treaty. It seems a work of superero gation to speak in its favour after the rump of ap probation which has been placed upon it, but I thought it right to say this much, bemuse my hon. friend who has been the main negotiator of it on the part of this country Is not present. lam unwilling to loin an opportunity of saying how much I feel myself indebted to his for the labour be hes given, and for the euooeee which hat attended It. But (Mr. Bright continued) the treaty *mud only a part of the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, inasmuch as it swept away much of that compHowed nuisance a customs taziff, beyond the duties involved in the convent i on, while he had struck at the obnoxious excise duty on paper. Mr.Oladstone had pursued now exactly that course which Sir R. Peel took when he attempted to meet the deficit left by Sir F. Baring, adding to the deficiency by reducing duties, and then imposing the income tax to fill it up. Pointing out the advantages to the country in general and the agricultural interest, in particular, which the policy then Inaugurated had produced, he asked why gentlemen oppoeite could not comprehend this system. Be must not be supposed to be blind to the foul blot in the policy of the government, the scandalous expenditure which they had incurred, especially that for military purposes; and preparations which could be aimed only at France. From 1853, through good and evil, there had been a close alliance between this country and Prance, and at last we negotiated the present treaty, and yet with pll this, why was there the gross inconsistency of these large estimates ? If a motion had been mule to the effect that in the opinion of the houtr there was no nacerity for an imams of the naval and military esti mates beyond those of last year, It would have been patriotic end jut. Judging from the treaty on the oats hand, and the 30 millions of military expenditure, there must be two contending principles in the cabinet, which must is no long time lead to its &enaction. The mode of removing the income tax could only be attained by the reduction of the justed. estimates. He agreed that the income tax as now levied was becoming intolerable, and must he mire equitabl ad You will not again (continued the noble member Lgo back to excise or custom house duties. (Cheers.) T principle has been Irrevocably I.id down that the vast expenditure which you incur, sot for the sake of the working people, for they are much the same in all conitries—bnt for the de4aos, es you think, of your own property—that vast expenditure must be defrayed by the property and not by the indirect taxation of the country. (Loud sheers.) The present expos dinars and income tax are inseparable, and the sooner the boos. makes up its mind to that the better. (Hear, bear.) Let it not be supposed however.that I am speaking in favour of the inoome tax es it now exists. I believe with the hoe. member for Badmen= (Mr. Hubbard), whose speech to night every the has heard with great pleasure-..(bear, her) —that the income tax as it now exists has bemuse Widening. I judge that hem the number of letters which—l dare say fa common with every other member—l receive every day on the subject. I judge it also from whet I see in the columns of newspapers, and from what I hear from those amour whom I mix. Bat lam la favour of the incense tax thus far—it is a direct tax, and it is • tax upon means. I support it now, objectionable as it is, hecaose we have at present a computation for it. • time will come—it nay coos :. ~ ~~ „1860. swat Sear-1 think it probably will come next yew -(oppoeltuot nlteere)—certetinly it will, ens alit . sum ,tes be sot tarsal radautd —tir hen you will b. put in this diftl ! culty ; you will apt be able to diosale with the income tax, ' sod the o matey 411.1 not tolsrata it In the shape in which i. has beat levied.

The right honourable pa. tkunati's • Bahasa is • great scheme. If it had not been for the 30,600,000/. of Warlike estimates— ' (laughtery—what ri scheme It might have been ! (Cheers.) I bawd, the right hon. gentleman weld on that thorny path which led to the 30,000,000 f., and I thought there moot be somehow or other a coneciatoe—which is not always a con valiant partner fur • Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laugh ter.) I thought that if the tight hon. gentleman had been able to carry out the logical remits of hie own principles— the principles embodied in that treaty and in that tariff, them would have been • much larger reduction of duties, and • much greater relief afforded to all classes in the oountry. (Hear, bear.) He spoke of the patience of taxpayers—dart try that waste too for. (Cheers.) I will sot ask you to he afraid of the people—l will ask you only to be just to them and just to rereelves. It is ,not the poor man alone who sofas from injustioe.

(Cheers.) I say this welmmtrie a great scheme, and therefore I support it. It rolseme industry by reducing the custom, sad it abolishes one date worst aimless that ever crippled the industry sod the saterpriee of • people. (Hear, hear.) It extends the Mad of friendship not only to • gre at gommneat, but So • great nation across the Channel; and amongst much darkness in Europe it is a epot of light. It opens to my mind a prospect Bright as the breaking East, As mid-day glorious. I think it is • mea.nre of great justice to England and a measure of great friendship to France, and I am convinced that, acting and working through the means of these two great nations. it will be found hereafter a measure of great mercy to mankind. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WHITESIDE, after many preliminary observations personally critical towarm Mr. Bright, proceeded to urge that it was &clear doubtful whether the productions of England and Ireland would be admitted into France under the duties proposed by the treaty. The treaty of commerce was a direct contravention of the principles of tree trade. The article of the Orly relating to coal stripped parliament of its right to deal with the question of duty on that article for tan years. Argu ments minnow bang used in France to prove that coal was not and could not be contraband of war. The right hon. gentlemen then turned again upon Mr. Bright, end pro ceeded in a strain of personal criticism for some lime. Re- ferring to Mr. Gladstone's speech in introducing the budget, he said that he had listened to it for four hours without winking, and he could have done no more for Cicero. But reflection taught bun to view the plan as a bold experi ment on the good nature of the country, and that if Mr. Gladstone had a talent for filling the ex chequer he had also an equal talent for em_ ptying It. He dented the assertion that the policy of Sir Rorrt Peel and Mr. Gladstoae were identical, for the former dud not desire to dry up, but rather to fertilise the sources of indirect cr edal, and did not substitute for It direct imports. He coa -1 eluded a very emphatic but erratic speech, in which be touched on every topic connected with tte subject, but with out any striking adherence to order or sequence, by a strong attack on the income tax, and a sweeping condemna tion of the budget as a whole. Mr. CARDWELL felt convinced that when any nation had begun to taste the benefits which freedom of 00011110r0e necessarily conferred, their own experience would lead them to walk onward in the same course--(hear, hear) — and probably not twenty years would expire before the moat determined opponent of these liberal measures now existing in France would be as cordial and enthusiastic a supporter of theta as even the right hon. and learned gentleman Lowell The right hoe. and learned member (Me Whiteside) objected to having this commercial relation with Franca except in a perfectly constitutional manner, and the right hon. member for Portsmouth (Sir F. Baring; objected to having it at all. But if in making this commercial treaty we broke down the barriers which red separated the two countries, and intro duced the products of the one to the consumers of the other, he (Mr. Cardwell) believed we ehould have conferred on mankind, as well r epos ourselves, a benefit and a bless ing ascend only to that which had accompanied the down- WI of protection in this country. (Hear, hear.) He wished to say one more word with regard to the case pat by his right hon. friend the member for Portsmouth. That right hon. gentleman said that he looked with dismay at our future prospect* if this budget should be carried, bat he did not tell the house in what way the dismay he felt was to be remedied by the adoption of a different course. They had also heard an able speech from an hon. gentleman, who tuidered to the house • different budget, but he ended by leaving them with a deficiency of two mil lions, and without affording any positive informattos as to the means by which that di ficiency should be met. The matter, between this motion and the budget of his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, simply turned on this question—How were these two millions, the produce of the long annuities, t. be utilised ? The amendment pro pceed to utilise them by diminishing the pressure of the income tax, while the propettion of hie right hon. friend said, " Spend that two millions in • manner so as to remove the pressure of four millions from the shoulders of the peo ple, by which course you will stimulate industry, encourage trade, promote the comfort at the people, increase expen diture, and lay the foundation for future edvanore to the resources of the Exchequer." (Hear, bear.) We had had an interval of years during which no step of that kind had been attempted. We were now, however, more wealthy, and more able to pay taxes. We had a more loyal, contented, and thriving people, and we had the same produce into the exchequer as before these experiments we. e ands. In conclusion, be must say that it would be a short sighted policy to renew the income 4:without offering some remedial measures to the community at large. (Hear.) Upon the motion of Mr. Newt:AGA:2, the debate was then adjourned. VALUATION OF RATEABLE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill.

I looked at it, and thinking it was a forged one, I took it to the cashier, who told me to take the prisoner into the office. I took her in, and she gave her Melrose 790, Kinpland-road. She said her husband wag a publican, and that he had taken the nuts ever the counter from two gentlemen in payment for some brandy, and that one of the gentlemen had written the name of " Weldor.
