ANNEXATION OF SAVOY AND NICE. Lord J. MANNERS said the house would roadbed that the noble lord oppasPe had ca • former occasion stated that notwithstanding the somewhat ambiguous languid* of the Emperor of the French, he me still of opinids that the Emperor inteaded to email the great powers of Europe previously to usallag Savoy to France. In consequence of certain stalemate which had since appeared in the mud official Frewl prose be (Lord J. Mennen) we. anxious to repeat the question which had been asked of the noble lord opposite. whether since making that reply he bad received my further infsemation from Paris se to the intention of his I Imperial Majesty to consult the great powers of Europe upon this subject. Lord J. RUSSELL Said he could inform the noble lord that bee MejeaAy's goveroment bad inEructed their amber odor at Paris to mg the Preach government in what manner ' and in what form the great powers would be consulted, and Tnouvenel had replied that he was preparing a de poach upm the subject, which be thought he would be able to send to-morrow or Wedmeday to the ambassadors at the foreign count As regarded the effect of that oonitounication he could only_ say, that he hoped the opinion of the great powers of Europe would have due weight with the govern inset of the Emperor. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said that as some misapprehension ex- toed in the house with respect to the brains., tired for the 19,h, se to whether there would be a discussion on the motion is reference to the man nation of Savoy or the motion upon the smug Nairn of the Reform Bill, it would be oca rina,' fee the base to know whether the noble lord would bring iz eis the mead reading of the Relona Bill on that eves . I, J. RUSSELL said that ao t beem eatmad into between the government end his hoc. kind eh member for Bridgewater, that • 'Mks relative to Savoy skald come on upon the lath, end it was kis (Lard I.

He mast nimbi is her that when the dis crete. *pea the reasimaraial treaty with France was pending then were several bee. ambers who were precluded ham discuseang the question as to the annexation of Savoy by the stalemate of die noble lord, who took the opporteeity of swag that them interruptions to the die imam of the treaty wen esteem), Inconvenient, sad the noble lord asked whether it would not be better at um to have a (sir sad apes disoomks opu the walnut. Let it (the noble I,rd said) have snob a ductunion ae took place in another hones • few weeks beck. He (Mr. Kinglake) in deference to that suggestioa was induced, suing ander the Uric* of mural Mande apes whose judgment he relied, to gin • soon, of motion spool the subject, cad he must appeal thenoble lord to my whether they bad not Leidy their part of that hosiourable andersteadlag. = as y d , it we. open to say hon. member to make week observations as he phased es to the annexed , * of Savoy, during the tireethe commercial treaty was nadir diseeseba. But fur he own part he abstained from eddressieg ills hues upon the 'abject. Hs could not but think that they had something like • fair claim on the government to Wet in bringing Ude question before the home. (Hoer, hear.) The male lord would also recollect that he plawd is modem ea the gaper for this day, and he deeply regretted he had ben pro. vented by the government from brininess it en, beam* so- cording to the id...make, which tee had. received Was fa regard to this matter wee vital. (Hear, beer.) He bed thie morning received intelligesce that tie Savoy deputise to the pediment of Sardinia had met et Clumbery, sad that they weer shoat to meted to Paris with the view of doing hostage to the Emperor for Savoy. He did not know whether the noble lord had received the same talonsation on the sub • Jett. There cald la no doubt that dine was of the deepest importance, and he would not accept the responsibility of being the cause of soy delay. The muss of the delay must rem with the government, unless as soca mpossible thge's tlou be dimmed. (Haar, hear.) The hon. member resumed hie seat without making say motion. (Cram of Move, move. - ) The SPEAKER said the hon. member not havlag con cluded with a moths his proceeding was extremely irregular. the The hoses. BON. OlNTLalleg there moved the adjouramost of was, immure\ me the course of the transactions bore upon the menet of the Emperor of the French, and the e th er branch wen the degree in which the ewes of the tremeen times bore epos the conduct of her lideety's government. His noble erteed had stared, and be thought in a mamma which no man la the boas. would matrovert, that this boom having distinctly and clearly impressed Its optaka upon the policy sad project of the anaustlen of Savoy to Frans, to repeat disou.sien from week to week, ti repeat angry animadversior.s upon the conduct of the Emperor of tbe French—sod he could: not but say that personalities upon him were not very us:dui—did not tend to the public into ; reels of Ilia country—(Lear, loser)--.specially weer they Te. were in in iestatsi stated of sovereigne allia nce . le of L .. I: ima reign cnistry with wlstu wd ; that no good could 'Ow from such repenticas of distrust and deckled opinions, but that. great evil would be the coo sequence—first of all, evil in regard to the issue of the matter in question. and next as related to their alliance with ! the government of France, and mentors if the object of those who wished to renewdisoussion wee simply to mew expressions of opinion disapproving of the project of the French government, he thought his noble friend had ; give ample reason to the house why it was not expedient that the house should determine upon pursuing that course. If, on the other hand, the right hoe. gentleman thought that the other branch of the subject sue one which should be brought wider the consideration of parliament; if the right hoe. gen tleman and those who thought with him were prepared to • propose • vote of censure on the government to regard to their conduct in reference to Savoy, undoubtedly that would be a most legidmate make fur the house, and one most proper for these to consider who believed that her Majesty's government deserved censure. (Hoar, hear.) But he could assure the right honourable gentleman and those who thought like him that the government would be perfectly ready to meet any motion when brought forward, sod therefore Le thought it ought to be clearly explahed to the house by those who wished to bring this subject again under discussion, whether it was intended to be a censure upon the isooduct of the government of Fenno', or whether it would be brought forward with a view of la the:log the hones to pass a vote of osneure upon the govern ment of England (Hear hear.) He doubted whether his hon. friend (Mr. Hinilake) had the later object is view. But if the right ; hen. gelatinise entertained the opinion that he had insinuated that her Majesty's govern meat had felled in their duly, he thought it perfectly legi timate that a motion on the subject should be brought before the house, and that it should mill upon the house to express cesettre upon the government ; and her. gentlemen should not bring the conduct of the government forward inciden tally upon a motion which did not bear upon their pro- ceedinge but smog the conduct of • friendly ally. (Hew.) Sir J. PAILINGTON mid the noble viscount had very much misrepresented his right hon. friend. Nothing fell from hie right hon. friend to the effect that he intended to bring forward a vote of censure on the government, but what he stated was, that the house ought to call upon the govern ment for an explanation as to their line of conduct upon this question of annexation of Savoy with France. He thought the noble viscount was not entitled to iterate to his right honourable friend an Intention that he wished to propose a vote of censure on the government. (Hear. He thought they were entitled to some explanation of th e) fact which appeared in the papers, that the noble lord bad wade no protect against the conduct of the French govern ment until the month of December, although be was aware of the contemplated annexation long previous to that time. True, the hon. member for Bridgewater had pat hie motion oa the plea that its discussion would be injurious to the public service, but the noble lard at the sense time Gael an opinion thatithe subject should be fully diseases:l pa both ored houses of parliament. He (Sir J. Pakington) though.' it only right that both houses Amid Mao as opportunity of expel:wing their opinions on the unexation question before the come of events rendered ell discussion useless. Mr. HOESKAN thought that the proposition which had beam laid down by the noble lord the Secretary , for Foreign Maks was man saleu Wed to alarm the boar and the elasary. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ft w as ateeetary to understand the position of the govereerat with regard to the motion of the hon. member for Bridgewater Him noble friend the Secretary fee Foreign Affairs bed given his opinion, not on the inexpedient of all dis cussion respecting Savoy, but cn the roexpediency of discuseiens of an indecisive character, and which could have led only to irritation with regard to the French government without any practical result. The object of his noble bleed had berm to drew that distinctioo, and to show that a government night could not be given for the purpose of renewing meth a din oriole. The spuit of hie noble friend's observations was that if there wee soy prop°. eition to Mecum the proceedings of government, full oppor tunity would be given for such discussion. His noble friend, who was precluded by the forms of the hews from again ad d:eating them, empowered him Wry that, with a view to any explanations that might be thought wiessesry, without contemplating a vote of censure, be would take an opportu nity to-morrow (this day), when presenting papers relative to It to make • statement with mimeses to the proceed ings tithe government. (Hear.) Mr. 8 FITZGERALD, who use bet very imperfectly heard, wee miderstood to my, that only live days before the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had expressed himself strongly in favour of a diet/autos on the Savoy goes lion, both in that gad the other house of parliament. Surely it was of great important* that the hands of government ehoald be etratigtbimed by the opinion of that hones, in their emphatic disapproval of the oondoot of France, end that the hear should know what had passed between our government and the government. of Item* Austria, and Frusta. They did not want to ammo the government, but to Immo& fatly acquainted with their policy. CHINA. In answer to Mr. H. C0C1111.4111, BR G.

RUSSELL said what he asked the - hon. member was not rely that this diacustion with regard to Sav o y an d Nice should an be mixed up with the discuasioa on the com mercial treaty, 'but he had told him him it on would be prettadkial to the public interests. He t ht the boa. gentlemen yielded to that suggestion. That wee hie opinion at that time, sad it still was es. (Hear, hear.) They bad a discussion opts the subject, and in which the hon. baronet, the member for Taniworth, made an eloquent speech, and which produced a great impressios upon the house, and ha (Lord J. humell) thought the optima of the boom upon the snidest could not be doubtful, bat it was to he car sid.red whether there should be any definite media upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) The discussion in the other house of prarllameot, to which he had alluded, wasjeota dismission which ended, or wart intended to end, with any definite resolution or say proposal that the t should take • different course to that which it had Mkt: he suggested, when as hon. gentleman evoke ea the side of the home. He then said, what was to be the mean ing of the motion to be made? It It was merely to eagrese the opinion of the house, he was afraid speeches wonttl be mode which would preduoi feelings of initation and ems prates which, hr from being useful, would have • detri mental effect upon the pub Lo interests. (Hear, hear.) There war apearty in Ude house who thought that the an nexatino of Savoy, however done, eves with the consent of the King of Sardinia, or gorierally or partially with the consent of the 13avoyardo—oneht to be restated. Even if it were not actually opposed by the other great powers of Europe, they thought this country ought to go to war. If that was so, let them bring forward • motion upon the sub ject, If his bon. friend was of that opinion Ist hint do so, end ha would cot find it difficult to obtain a day he the= pars, it being a matter of greet inaportanos, and one should not be delayed. Hie own opinion was that the feeling of the bowie upon the subject had been seflieleetly mime trued, and that no pubic discussion would be useful ; but, na the contrary, he believed It would be fabliau to the good feeling which existed between the two stuatrim (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI thought them was a meat Mira in the remarks of the noble lord, and Indeed it had pervaded his oh...remits' from the beginting. The noble lord mewed to think that the only coaduct which w to to questioned by the Woes of Commons was the conduct of the Emperor of the Preach. That was a matter of great imporianaa—but he had yet to town that It was sot the duty sad right of the Hose of Commies upon questions of high policy to express their opinions. (Hear, hear) But there was another por tion of the subject which opened a question of equal interest to 'hie country. sad that was the conduct of bet Majesty's troveruineut. They wanted a diecoasioa on this question of Savoy that they clearly noderetaad what had beset the conduct et the government us questions which so mach agitated the country and Europe, sad therefore the noble lord entirely begged the question when he mourned that it was merely the policy of the Bra perm of the Fired that the louse wished to criticise end question. The hove wanted to Mow how far the patsy of the Emperor of the French had been ocomioned or favoured by the governmest of bar Majesty, and he thought theme matter. ought to be mode dear to the house. He could sea agree at all whit the mune which the tube lord had taken. It wee rem natural that the boa. member for Bridgewater (Mr. Kinglebt), who bed taken greet interest in the qua. ties, Amid wish to bring it forward, and it might be to give en opportaaity for thit a:prestos of opinion with respect to It with due regard to the asthma/as with whom they were la alliance, end to obtain an opt : Mon as to the policy which bad been panned.

MILLS mar say that drotioadie r he deemed the Metier tax upon peper to be, ead desirable as ha thought it that every impediment to the speed of knowledge should be removed, he oonaidered It utterly Inexplicable that the Hours of Commons should vole enormous tare in order to relieve • esc•ion of the community --simply that the cheap might drive • profitable trade. However, with We reluotisoce he should give hie suppo't tJ the mocks of his hon. friend. Mr. BLACK said he .bold support the second reading of the bill on the ground that it would be eoonomioal to the country to abolish this tax. The revenue derived from it wee calmed at a very great expense. He could mention that a work which he published was charged with the excise duty of between 3,0001. and 4,G001. and before it reached the hands of the public it met 1 7,0001. The income tax of id. additional would not increase the evils of that tax. He hated the income tax most abotninelly on account of its inquisitorial and oppressive character, and be hoped the tim was not far distant when it would all be taken o still as between Id. Mooed tax and the abolition of the paper duty there could be no question. If they abolished the paper duty they would dispense with the service of the excise officers. All publications, especially the cheaper mete, were materially aided by the price of paper. The hom ought to take into coasideration It.. whole mar of the people, and not merely titre who paid the income tax. Looking at the two sources of meaner, it would be int:fairly Muir that the house should repeal the paper duty and put on the Id. income tax. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MAGUIRE contended that the repeal of the paper duty would revive the trade la Ireland, and as for the mom tax, altimt;:i he aLhorred It.. much as any man, he was wilhnc to beer it in order to mom that repeal. With these opinesis he felt booed to vote for the mood reading and against the amendment. Lord it. CECIL did not wish to see the paper duty coo tinned, but the question now was a balance of revenue. A penny income tax would amount to 1,200,0001., and he be lieved that was as near as possible the mount of the paper duty. If they reduced the import duty on rage they would be met by prohibitory export duties in Spain and Italy, and, besides, be believed there was fear of an actu al dearth of the raw materiel. No material had yet been dis covered as a substitute for rap in the menufsettue of paper, and, if that was so, there would be no relief whatever from taxation, as the consumer would have to pay exactly the same as he now paid for the raw material. He thought, it would be very unwise to repeal this duty. therefore. it GIBSON said, after the commercial treaty with Friar had been agreed to by the hour, which had approved the general policy of the floandal wham of the sorra went, that fiscal arrangements should be made to give re. missions of indirect taxation, the question now was, not between the paper duty and the income-tax, but between the former and dime other branch of indirect taxation. Why did the government select the paper duty P After • careful review of our indirect Matra, they could not overlook this duty, and they found that for the last 25 years those who were entitled to the greatest weight in parliament bad looked forward to its repeal as an objrot to be arm plished as soon as possible. The resolu'ion of the holm that this duty was not to be a permanent source of our tax ation was part of a long, uniform system of coadeamation which the duty had receive I, and the goverment would have her culpable if they had given this seriatim the go by. If the dry was to be retained a bill must he introduced to air whet paper was, lacluding in the (ladder ardor; which cam is comtition with paper, but which maw r eaped the duty. The p question, after all, woe whether the tax itself was of that carrier that its Mendes should be desired. TM producti in of paper was less in this country than In the United Stade, where there wee an abeam of all restriotione. What was the reason of the crippled state of the manufactory hen? He believed that the excise survey and restrictions had something to do with it. The Wrote tion over the want of rags was net new. He believed that the repeal of the paper duty would create a demand for the raw material, and that ajsupply would meet the demand. Flax fibre and other product.' of the land might he applied to this purpose, and become a source of profit to the agricul tural and farming interest. Be showed the oppressive effects of the defy upon the cheap per, by eating up Its profits, and suggested the influence which ire impoverish ment mud exert upon its quality. In this view, the paper duty was really • tax upon knowledge while it operated as au obstacle to the reward and the enterprise of authors. 11;:i1ORSMAN observed that Mr. Gibson had not said the word upon the principle of the bill, which, ander the semblance of a measure dealing with a single duty, was in reality • proposal for a change of vast importance, not only on account of the principles it involved, bet of the conse quences to which it would lead. Having • million of taus to remit, hutted of relinquishing the tea and sugar war duties, the Chancellor of the Exchequer preferred to remit the paper duty, became it would increase em ployment. Bat so would the remission of the tea and auger duties. The difference wee that the one affected • rich Mos sad the other the labouring desire. It was of the greatest importance—socially, 'morally, and colt. orally—that the bitter s h ould receive the best wages; end, if their money payment could not be increased, the remis sion of the taxes on tea and sugar would amble them to buy more of the articles, or to raise themeless in the social scale. The question, this, was whether moat benefit would be conferred by remitting the tea end sugar duties, or the paper duty. He said the object would be best attained by remitunejtha former, and he warned the house of the false prime . sad the mi schievous t they were eetablidelmg. They could not rest precedent Fresh demands would be mode for other remissions; a premium would be elves for the agitation of classes. This small precedent of filling up a deficiency by a remission of an indirect tax, and laying on • direct tax—ithi fling the whole burden of taxation upon one °lase— would effect a complete fiend revolution. This was not the budget of the government; it was the budget of the hon. member for Birmingham. (Opposition cheers.) Ilia hon. friend daring the autumn made • meet able arid frank ex position of his financial policy, end he could imagine the Chancellor of the Exchequer writing to him sad saying, " I read with great interest your speech. You have made • convert dm. I beg you to come by an early trek to Downlarstrestand help ins to frame my budget" (Opposi tion cheers.) I can well imagine that when my boa. friend and my meadow friend came together, that the amenber for Birmingham would say to him , ' Da not go too feet, you are too impetuous ." (Lusher.) Converts always are. Thorsen the tee and sugar duties, eleven millions, don't touch them; there is the tobacco duty, five millions, don't touch it. Begin with the paper duty, it is only • penny. Ring the changes upon that penny, sad that will get is the point of the wedge. (Opposition cheers.)

Sir, I will not purses that point further— (divide)—but I nue the Chancellor of the Exchetner will not again deviate from the course he has hitherto usually pursued. Now, sir, I wish to direct the attention of the house—(the hon, gentleman was interrupted by frequent cries of "Divide ")coming to the political question before it—to the fact that we ars now placed under an immediate and pressing necessity. The question we are now discussing, as I have already said, is pregnant with principles of a moat dangerous kind. What I wish to warn the house against is this—that the Chancel lor of the Exchequer is inviting the confidence and support of the country to the course he is by declaring that he is following in the footsteps of Sir 11. Pei But I am ready to maintain that the Chan cellor of the Exehequer is sbandonitig the principles of that great statesman in tavourof those of rand bolder school. (Opposition cheers.) With the exception of that "little I chum" which he bas described—which ha himself made, and which be ban filled up, them is not one single feature of his Biennial scheme which been the lionenenta of the policy of Sir R. Peel. (" Oh," end cheers.) The great and guiding ' principle of fin Peel's policy we, to carry the country through future years by establishing Its fiances upon a new, an intelligible, and a sound basis. But the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is to secure the comby against future deficiencies by clouding sad embar rassing the future, by anticipating the revenue of future years, by creating a deficit which he knows must be met by repeated and increased taxation, which will again be the pre cursor of farther deficiescies and embarrassments. Lpon this question of the income tax Sir R. Peel so operated as to imilitate the discontinuance of the income tax. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer places impedimenta in the way of its diecontinuanoe by dimmithing the revenue. Sir R. Peel, by a system of reduction of duties, in creased consumption, and thereby augmented the m enu. But we once more trample upon that principle-- we abolish a permanent source of revenue, and substitute a war tax. Sir E. Peel denounced ones legialatioe. His budgets were loons to the operative elegem The peeress' of the Chancellor of the Exchequer enriches the manu facturing cleans at the expense of the rest of the community. Sir It. Peel, again, moat cautiously approached the ap portionment of direct and indirect taxation, in order that he might arrive at correct result.. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer Avoids the discussion of that principle ; he evades it ; whilst he denies um the opportuaity of ice future con sideration. (Opposition cheers.) Above all this Sir IL Peel admeniebed the country and his disciples, that they should Immure the income tax a • great national reserve, in order that foreign nations should know that we had for an emergency a great explosive resource. (Chasm.) The in cense tax with him wee to be a mighty anise for war, and a guarantee for peace, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer prostituted our great national source of strength Jot agitating clam interests; the paper makers tarn is to-day, the sugar dealers soranible for it to-morrow, end the lionised dealers will try to coerce him at a future time, till year after yaw the prise having been once violated and broken down when our hour of trial comes whether it be from commercial pressers or from war, we shall wake up from a seam of oar magnificent folly to that reality which history wane us is the precursor of national revolution. (" Hear, hear" and loud cheers, in the midst of which the tight hon. gentleman resumed his seat) The OHANCIILLOR of the BICH/QUER—Sir, at say hoar of the evening, especially at the late hour we have new reached, I should mdenvour to be very short in my reply to that pert of the speech of the right hon.

("Hear, hear," and cheers.) The right he. gentleman is not quite right, I think. la @apposing that he haalways been remark able for the particularity of his language. (Hear, hear.) It is fresh on my mind that on Friday night last the right hon. gentleman a id with a blandness of manner foe which be is well known that Sir R.

In the contrast which the right honourable gentleman has drawn to-night between the policy of Sir Robert Peel and the present govern meat I do not think he has enmeshed in productog • sharper antithesis than on that occasion. (Hear, hear.) I pass from those considerations to the question which the house has to decide, sad here I milts agree with the right boo. gentleman that he has not minced the matter, for he has drawn such • pieta» which it maid he perfectly wonderful to have trees any other source than his own.

The right hot., gentleman has twined • letter which the Chancellor of the Exchequer wrote to the hon. member for Birmingham, bat it moat ham been observed bow much more the right bon. gentleman dwelt upon what be tom pined than upon the facts.

It is necessary for me to ask why the right hon. gentleman has Imagined that • series of errors must follow the alterations of this year f—end be pursued his remarks in dt• forma to the incemeing cheers of a very small but intrepid band on the opproits side of the bowie, which led the right hon. gentleman to • climax when he deliberately asserted that the budget of the present year would be in accordance with • general system of coetiaca ton. (Loud cheers.) There may be hers and there in this home • few hon. members who partake of that opinion, but I own I think it will be a mimeo( time to reply to such ob esreatimes, and I prefer leaviag them to the sentiments of out of doors, and to les them stand refuted by what will venter* to cell their own absurdity. (Loud cheers.) The Chastener of the Exchequer proceeded to obeeeve that he prehmed not to understand the vote Hr. Hemmen intended to give; whether ha considered that the government had made • bad choice in the tax they proposed to remit; other wise his mooch, he raid, tended only to bewilder. He ad mitted that the rem is sion of the war duties on tee and sugar would afford great relief, but the decision of the govern ment In fay..ur of the paper duty was founded upon • careful examination of conflicting claims. The re peal of the paper duty was recommended by peculiar end remarkable maiden'.; and the article with which it dealt was one of large consumption by the poorer else, and which was taxed to the extent of 30 and 40 ter ant., while it was • large element of consumption in bode and manufacture. He produced • specimen of corrugated paper, which was admirably adapted t.r roofing home, ; and pointed out this as one of the many uses to which paper might be and would be pat but for the excise duty. - He showed that the policy of Sir R. Peel was to repeal sad not merely to reduce duties, and excise ditties In oarticular. He pointed out that this wart peculiarly the moment at which the pledge of the home for the repeal of this duty might be fulfilled. The increase in the amount of duty was caused by the increase In trade s to which paper, In the shape of wrappere, was • con wideratile accessory. Having entered into • statement of the Waiter the duty on boom, newepapers, and literature, which seelieled in the monopoly of printers, and which, among other Wags, exoluded women from that calling, he vindicated the Hoard of Inland &vector from the imputation cut upon them that they had issued • report made to coder, and stated that that opinion had greatly influenced him in his proposal to meal the duty. He dealt with the subject of the de mand for labour which the propped change would cause; he argued the question whether the remlasion of indirect taxation should or should not be carried further, and urged that the only question now was to what object the remission of a million should be applied, and he contended that the sees for the paper duty was the strongest. (Hear, hear.) I believed (continued the right honourable gentlemen) that the house will adopt the proposal of the government, and I have the mote assurance of that from the fact that I have not been able to understand from the speakers on the other aide what duties they would propose to repeal. My hoe. friend the member for theastastsaire did not quite see the iooonvenisoos of introducing the treaty as be intro- duoed it in this debate. He founded his appeal on the lowest class of payers of income tax ; bat it is not a question se to them, no one proposes to add • peony to their income tax— the addition to it is • penny ; but let cow remind the hones thet the question se to what exemption from income tax shall be allowed still remotes to he dealt with. The boa. member for Lancashire has given police of • motios for the partial exemption of all Incomes up to 6001. I don't think that such a choirs will be adopted by the house, bemuse it would be beyond precedent, and not only inconvenient but dangerous. But the emetics what amonat of exemption shall be given to persons of very small romans is a question estirely open, and with rapes to which latitude may be allowed to the home In perfect conformity with precedent derived from the history of the Mouse tax la former years ; hat let me ask my bee.

But If the right hon. e eutleman was deheminal to repeal the paper duty, how did he intend eoaest despatch of 1,200,0001. caused by that repeal ? He handed to impose another penny of !zoom tax. Now the foams tax was *trasrly used only in lima of greet seeessky. Until 1842 It was always affirmed to be • war tax. In that year, when it was put on, the emergency waa great. There was a great deficit, accruing from the lair or five molding years; the deficiency for that year (1842) w as 2,834,0001, and the estimated deficiency for 1843 was put down, if the imam tax bad not been pat on, at 10,772,0001. That wee the prime mason for the income tax being put on, and the improvement of our commercial code was only a aubsidiary raison, end it was at first imposed for three years only.

It Is impossible to deny that it is • grievous tax as it, affects penises of small incomes, sad especially of small fixed incomes. (Hear, bear.) I have heard it said that I hen given a fall amount of all the phases of the in- Goose tax. I have described them, sad my opinion remains now very mice what it was before upon that subject. (Hear, bear.) I think the vices of the income tax are many, great, and manifold ; but I said that why you retain it, in my opi nion, was because it was essential to wet in going there great benefits to the people which alone made it endurable, and canoed it to be endured. (Hear, hear.) It bas many vices, but it has one great virtue, which is this—that in the main, without say injustice in ita general scope, without any of those idle dreams of Vander and confiscation which we have heard to-night, it does make the property of the country subservient to the uses of the state wi.hin limits which are safe and for purposes which are beneficial. (Cheers.) The pwition of the government then with respect to the paper duties is this : We think it pert of oar public duty, part of the pledge we gave to the country which hi, given such • general and warm support to our financial measures,that we should redeem the pledge which we gave a month ago—via,that under the existiog circumstances of the present year, we should ask for such a repeal of indirect taxation as should not exceed two millions of money. We desire the house to exercise an impartial judgment on the question—what is the best moos of applying that earn ; but for all the reasons I have seated, we submit that the wisest and most prudent choice we c,uid make was to determine to repeal the paper duty, sad to give freedom toe great branch of industry, which we have great reason to hope will develop itself in • thousand directions, and add to the demand for labour, and through the demaad for labour to the prosperity of the country, in a degree out of all proportion to even the considerable amount of revenue which the dory now reprtsmte. (Cheers.) Biz J. PAKINGTO?I, who was listened to with much fm hotanos, and threatened to move the adjournment of the w if he were not listened to, deoied that there was an understanding, as alleged in the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer when introducing the budget, on the part of the hews to the effect that when the L ong Annuities fell in the amount should be applied to the repeal of indirect taxes. On the contrary, it was generally under s'ood that the money would be applied to the reduc tion of the income tax. (Hear, hear) The budget was a great boon to the owners of coal sad iron; and to the rich it gave the boon of taking off the duties on wine end silk, but what did it do for the working clams? It main tained the high duties on tea sad sugar, and upon those of small incomes it inflicted the grievous hard ship of doubling the income tax. He would sok the government, again what was the mount of the duty they were going to abandon? The grass amount last year was nearly 1,300,0001., but there wee now • rumdur that in the current year, to end at the close of this month, the paper duty would yield a million and a half. He wanted to know whether this was true, or was there an, difference from the 1,310,0001. of last year? lt was not • question of whether the paper duty wee or was note good impost, but whether the &tweet the revenue was not such that they could not afford to part withit. He contended that it was unwise and improvident to do so, and that the moment was most inopportune. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the right hon. baronet had asked him to explain his referees to the amount of revenue to be lost by the repeal of the paper duty. fished not stated the details to-night, but on the first night, when he made his financial statement, be spoke of a million, bananas that was precisely the cum which he found, by the estimates of the Board of Inland ,Revenue, would be lost by the repeal of the duty during the next financial year, supposing that repeal to take place en the lei of July; of mires, if the repeal were postponed, It would be somewhat less ; but the further amount which would tab place In the next financial year would be 210,0001. more, in addition to the 1,000,0001., making for the next financial year, according to the estimates with which be had been furnished, 1,230,0001. Against that, there were three direct sets-off to be mace—one being for the wrings in the Island Revenue establishments, a sewed for the savings on the whole of the paper used for government p and in the government establishments, and the thirr= the saving by the abolition of the leopreseed stamp and by the changes in the re gulatioos, the amount of which would be altogether, he supposed, 100,000/. or 160,00 W. a year.
