MONEY MARKET• CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 7th instant, is of a satisfactory character. There is a large increase in the reserve of notes, and the bul lion has also been slightly augmented, while a con siderable diminution is apparent in the other secu rities. The public deposits, owing to the active collection of the revenue, show a large increase, but the private balances necessarily exhibit a diminution. The various items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined analysis : Active Circulation .. Decrease .. Bullion Increase .. Rest .. £21,048,580 .. 211,110 .. 17,265,746 .. 176,299 .. 3,103,441 Increase .. Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits.. ..

The withdrawals of gold from the Bank of Eng land, and the expectation that the movement will increase through the transmission:of the Foreign loans lately obtained, induce a feeling of greater reserve among the banks and discount prices. Neverthe less first class bills are still negociable under the minimum of the Bank of England. The bar silver by the Atrato from the West Indies has been sold at ss. lid. per oz. standard. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £12,000, while £50,000 was withdrawn for Turkey. _ The Panama which left to-day for the Brazils took out £105,000 in specie. There was rather more activity in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices continued depressed. The sales were 5,000 bales. During the last few days.the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Markets have exhibited considerable animation. Sugars have been in good demand at enhanced prices, while good and fine qualities of coffee haVe been eagerly sought for at a further advance. Rice, however, continued inactive, at about previous quotations. For saltpetre there has been an active demand; andquotations tend upwards. Tallow remains at about previous rates, for both present and forward delivery. An instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due to morrow on the Egyptian Loan. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLocx.

One of the Sw iss Commissioners the said the prisoner was engaged as an engineer in that department, old one of the exhibitors sent property from Switzerland, (amongst which was a small case of gold watches, amongst which was a bracelet containing a watch. On the case being missed the police were communicated with, and the bracelet was found to have be€n pawned at Mr. Whistler's, in the Strand, whose assistant picked the prisoner out amongst a number of persons as the man who had p awne d the watch. He was remanded until Wednesday next. Some workmen engaged in repairing the Church cf Saint Sernin, at TolJuse, were alarmed the day before 3 esterday by the noise of a heavy fall, and, on proceeding to ascertain the cause, found that a man had fallen from the outer spire through the roof of the transept, and lay on the arched ceiling just under it. The injuries received were so great that the unfortunate man expired a few minutes after. The body was recognised as that of M. Louis Soulie, a painter of considerable talent, residing at Tou louse, but whether his death was the result of accident or suicido remains a mystery. THINGS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.—People may not be generally aware of it, but, if Mr. Cowper is to be be tieved, Big Ben is altered in tone; they have raised him to 33-quiet. — Punch. An interesting discovery of old coins and jewelry was wade at Rouen the day before yesterday by workmen engaged in levelling the ground in the new streets. Two men, who were taking up the pavement on a spot which was fermerly the courtyard of the Hotel de la Pomme-de- Pin, in: the Rue Saint-Jean, were surprised by finding a number• of gold coins under the stones. They were about the size of a sou-piece, and most of them French, of the reigns of Louis XI., Louis XII., Francois . 1., and Francois 11. Some , few bore the arms of Dauphiny, while others were Spanish, of the reigns of Charles V. (from 1516 to 1555). Near them was a handsome gold chain, about two foot long, to which was attaches a large gold medallion, +Mt heads in precious stones. The chain appears to have belonged to a Spanish grandee of the 16th century, and .we i g h s nearly 150 gramn2es (.50z.). This treasure, the total value o f which as old metal is about 1,200 fr., will be sold by auction, and divided according to law ; one-half of the proceeds going to the present owner of the ground, the other halt to the Were, .

COURT OF DIVOtCE. (Before the Judge Ordnary.) BRIGGS V. BRIGGS. This was a petition presented „by he wife for divorce against her husband on the ground of !ruelty and adultery. Mr. Thomas Horsely, an artist living at Sunderland, said he knew tho parties to this cause. Jrs. Briggs he had had known about 10 years. He was )resent at the mar riage, which took place on the 30th June, 1857, at St. Thomas's, Bishop Wearmouth. On he 2d of August last he attended Walton gaol, in Liverpod, and there saw the respondent Briggs. A woman of the tame of Eliza O'Neill was present. Jane Briggs, the petitioner in the cruse, said after the marriage they went to Scotland, and tbet they went to reside at Thirsk. Mr. Briggs commenced Insiness as a grocer very shortly after they arrived at Thirst. He treated her with great cruelty. On tho Sabbath norning Mr. Briggs threw a teapot full of boiling water ather, which scalded her. A week after he threatened to sta.) her. She rushed into a neighbour's house and remained there. About a fortnight after that he held both he hands to a heated oven, which burned them very much. after she got away from the oven she went upstairs to put some linseed oil on her hands, but he came up after her, and as she was leaving the room he threw a knife at her. On he 16th of October he held a loaded revolver to her head, and threatened to blow her brains out without she gav; him money. She gave it him through fear. The Judge Ordinary asked how long they continued to live together, and what caused them to part. Witness said she left him a week after he had held the pistol to her head. The day before she left the house he had beaten her severely with his fist. She had previously sent for Mr. Briggs' father. When he came he advised her to go home to her parents, and she did so. The Judge Ordinary asked if there had been any quarrel between them ? Wi ness replied in the negative. Mr. homes Dill, a saddler, living at Thirsk, said he re collected Mr. and Mrs. Briggs coming to reside there. He thought Mr. Briggs treated his wife with great cruelty On one occasion he, witness, got through the window of their house, in consequence of a disturbance between them, and found Briggs had gut his wife down by the hair of her head, and he appeareu as it no was going to strangle her. That was the day before she left her husband. He had seen him throw plates at her. On ono occasion he (witness) took a pistol from Briggs, as he had threatened to " do" for his wife. Alfred Davis said he had seen Briggs frighten his wife very much, but never strike her. Mrs. Harriet James said she let the respondent a room in her house at Liverpool. O'Neill was with him; she passed as his wife. They lived in her house for some months. Mrs. Briggs, who had given her evidence that day, she had never seen before. The Judge Ordinary decreed a rule nisi. TAYLOR V. TAYLOI2. This was a petition presented by the wife against the hus band for judicial separation. The petitioner detailed a series of acts of the grossest cruelty, which extended ever a number of years. The re spondent was in the habit of coming home intoxicated, and on those occasions he either kicked or threatened to murder her. The son and daughterr-of the petitioner confirmed the evidence given by their mother. The learned counsel for the petitioner said he had a num ber of other witnesses. The. Judge Ordinary thought the allegations in the peti tion had been made out, and decreed a rule nisi. POLICE - THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH•STREET, THIS DAY, A SCENE AT THE " LONDON PAVILION."—UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—Mr. Thomas Parry and Mrs. Catherine Parry, No. 4, Albion-terrace, Chelsea, both stylishly dressed persons, were charged as follows.— Mr. Emil Loibl, proprietor of the "London Pavilion," Tichborne-street, said—A little before 12 last night, as the place was about to be closed, the female defendant came from the gallery, and as she was coming down stairs she slipped down. I told two of the waiters to bring her down and lay her on a sofa, and then threw some cold water in her face, when she began to scream. A constable then came up, and he assisted me in holding the lady. The gentleman then said something to the constable, and pitched into him and knocked off his hat. The gentleman then struck one of the waiters; and the lady then got up and began striking about at everybody, but the persons, being all gentlemen, took no notice of it. Mr. Knox—Was Mrs. Parry drunk or sober ? Mr. Loibl—She was intoxicated ; and as the fell down a second time, and then began screaming out, I was obliged to charge her with creating a disturbance, and the constable took the gentleman for the assault. Mrs. Farry—l was not drunk. I had only taken one glass of gin and water, and it must have been very strong if that made me drunk, Mr. Parry—l merely knocked the constable's hat off. Robert Martin, 86 C, said—l was on duty at the London Pavilion, and was called to the female. I tried to assist in getting her up, and no sooner had I done so than the gen tleman knocked my hat off, but the blow did not hurt me. Mr. Knox—Were they sober? Martin—No. They were drunk and disorderly in the street, as well as at the London Pavilion, and I was obliged to have three constables to assist me in getting them to the station.

Martin—By falling down. Mr. Parry—The constable gave it me, I believo. Martin—l am certain I did not. Mr. Parry—What did I say before I touched you? Martin—You called me a " vagabond." Mr. Parry—l was coming from the gallery with Mrs. Parry, when some one trod on her toe, and she slipped down and could not get up again, and went into hysterics. The waiters then picked her up, and deposited her on a sofa, and Martin put his arms round her neck, and it being my impression that he was treating her with undue fami liarity, I might have called him a vagabond and struck him, knocking his hat off. A waiter came up with a water-pot, and threw the water about Mrs. Parry indiscriminately. I was then collared by the constable, and the bystanders said, " That's right, give it him ;" and of course it was done. Mrs. Parry—l wish to say that I was not drunk, and that the constable acting indecently towards me. Martin—l deny it. Mr. Parr) —You will, of course, believe the constable. Mr. Knox—Yes ; because he was sober. I say you were both drunk. You were taken to the station, and it re quired four constables to take you; and at the station the charge was taken by a disinterested person, who would not have done ro had you not been drunk. I have not the least hesitation in believing that you were ; and what is infi nitely more abominable in the woman is the defence set up lay her this morning. After all the care taken with her at the place, and the attention bestowed on her, she now charges the constable with an act, if true, would very properly get him turned out of the force. If the constable had acted improperly I should have had a score of persons here this morning to tell us what he had done. It is a shameful scandal, and an abominable lie she has told, and but for that I should have only imposed a light fine ; but such conduct as she has charged the constable with might have cost him his situation. The defendants were then fined 20s. each, or seven days. THAMES, THIS DAY. A YOUNG TRlEF.—William Andrews Anderson, a boy aged 10 years, a mere child in appearance, was brought before Mr. Selfo, charged with stealing 13 bottles of soda water, the property of Mr. John Shreves, a greengrocer, of 208, High-street, Poplar. The parents of the boy live in Mr. Shreves' house with their children, and Mr. Shreves, who &Ilia largely in soda water and lemonade, had lately put falr dozen bottles filled with the mineral waters in a box in the kitchen. Two days afterwards Mr. Shreves missed 13 bottles of soda water, and suspecting the prisoner, taxed him with the theft, which he admitted. One empty soda water bottle was found concealed in his parents' room. The others had been sold at a marine store shop. The prisoner was described by his mother to he a most incorrigible thief, whom was impos sible to kcep at home. He would stop. out all day, leave his home in the middle of the night, and take anything he could lay his hands on. Mr. Sclfe—Did the boy drink the soda water ? The prisoner —Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—What, have you drank 13 bottles ? The prisoner—Yes, I have, sir. Mr. Selfe—Why, it was enough to blow you up. A curious fancy for a boy to be drinking soda water. Mr. Shreves—l gave him a dose last winter. Mr. Selfe—What dose? Mr. Shreves—A dose of cayenne pepper. I found a seed-cake of mine disappearing until a piece not larger than my two middle fingers only was left. I " eayenned" the piece of cake all over, and the prisoner swallowed it, and roared with pain like a town bull. Mr. Selfe—He did not swallow the soda water as a cooler. Mr, Shreves—No, sir ; last Christmas I dosed him with cayenne. Mr. Selfe—How long has this boy been a thief? The Mother—About four months, sir. We came from Southampton six months ago. He was a very good boy, indeed, before we left that place. Mr. Selfe—Can ho read and write ? The Motl , er—Yes, sir; he knows right and wrong, and right from wrong. Mr. Selfe committed the boy to Felthxm Industrial School for three years,. and said his parents must contri bute towards his maintenance. THE RECENT BOILER EXPLOSION AT MILLFIELDS. —Mrs. Thomas Rose, the proprietor of these works, yes terday received a £lOO cheque from Earl Dudley towards the fund which is being raised for the relief of the sufferers by this calamity. Efforts are being made to repair the damage done, with a view to the recommencement of ope rations, which is most desirable, there being alarge number of men in the Bileton district who are out of employment.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING—(THIS DAY). The annual general meeting of the directors and share holders of this undertaking was held this afternoon at the London Tavern. Lieut.-Colonel Sim presided. The report, an abstract of which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said he had to congratulate the directors on the completion of their main or South-West line, which was no less than 406 miles in length from Madras to Bey poor. During the half-year ending the 31st December an additional section had been opened, the result of which was that the mileage of this line under traffic had been increased by 271. The line had taken nine years in construction, rather longer than was expected, but when the shareholders considered the distant scene of operation he thought they would agree with him that the time consumed had not been immensely long. The construction of 406 miles of railway in England, where everything was to be easily obtained, would be considered a work of some magnitude; but in India it was a work of immense labour. The line had been constructed in the best and most substantial manner; and as he had seen a gentleman who had travelled over the line, he was in a position to say their works were in the very best order. Twelve miles of the Bangalore branch were ready for the reception of the permanent way, and it was confidently expected that, by the end of next year, the whole would be finished. That branch was expected to prove a very remunerative one. The chairman then pro ceeded to allude to the mode of travelling adopted in India, and said the great mass appeared to adopt the cheapest mode of going over the distance rather than to adapting the first-class rate of fares. Thfs was no dcubt owing to the poverty of the lower class ; but as he thought it was a circumstance that would continue for some time, it would be one that required the greatest consideration. After again congratulating the meeting on the position of the under taking, the chairman moved the adoption of the report. Mr. ARBUTHNOT seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously. A SHAREHOLDER asked if the chairman could give them any estimate of the cost per mile of the construction of the main line. The CHAIRMAN said no calculation had been made, but he thought it wouli amount to between £B,OOO and £lO,OOO, but that would include rolling stock. The retiring directors and auditor were then re-elected, and the proceedings termizated. MARKETS-THIS DAY. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Halifax Corporation, Queenstown Improvement, Bristol and Exeter and Chard and Taunton Railway, and Tendang Hundred Rtilway Bills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Stratford Gas, Farringdon Railway, Winchester Road, and Coventry Poor Act Amendment Bills were read a third time and passed. UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord , STANLEY of ALDERLEY complained of the mode in which bills of this description were disposed of. Telegraph bills were introduced as private bills, and the consequence was that the great majority of their lordships were in complete ignorance of many of their provisions. The present bill gave very extensive powers over all roads and streets in England and Ireland, and that being the case, he thought it was desirable something more sho u ld be known before such exl ensivo powers were conferred. In many of the bills which had passed powers had been con fet red which, had the bills been dealt with as public ones, would not have been so readily granted. In one cf these bills the Government had to pay annually the sum of £ . 35,000 because a telegraph had been thrown into the Red Sea, and from which no advantage had been received. Had this bill been introduced as a public measure, the pro posal would have undergone a much greater investiga tion than it had received, and he thought that if such extensive powers were asked for, the bills ought to be treated as public bills: There was another measure, although not a telegraph company, viz., the Mersey end Irwell Navigation, which sought to alter the whole law of the country, and before such very extensive power was granted he thought their lordships ought to be in possession of the fullest information. However, under any stances, he thought the time had arrived when Parliament should take the subject into its serious consideration. The Maaquis of CLANRICARDE agreed in many of the observations of the noble lord. There was a bill of the description he had mentioned=-the Dublin Markets Bill— which conferred very extensive powers, and he should feel it his duty to Object to its second reading. Lord REDESDALE said he thought that all these private telegraph bills should be compelled to contain a clause similar to that which was contained in all railway bills, viz., that their provisions were to be subject to any general act passed by Parliament. He thought, however, the time had arrived when there should be some general legislation on the subject. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the promoters of the bill under discussion had introduced some very valuable modifications, and therefore he was: not disposed to object to its third reading. Ile trusted the noble lord, the chairman of committees, would take the subject into his consideration, with a view to produce a remedy. Lord REDESD ALE said he thought he should be able to meet the difficulty. The bill was then read a third time and passed. TRANSFER OF STOCK (IRELAND) BILL. The bill passed through committee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. HIBBERT took the oaths and his seat on his election for the borough of Oldham, in the room of Mr. Fox, the well-known and veteran Dissenting minister, who retired from inability to discharge his Parliamentary duties consis tently with his other avocations. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bishop Waltham Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the alleged unjust operation of the income tax, and against the ap pointment of Roman Catho.ic schoolmasters and chaplains in workhouses, &c. ALLEGED INJUSTICE TO A BRITISH SUBJECT. Mr. C. BENTINCR. presented a petition from Mr. George Watson Taylor, a British subject, stating that he had sustained wrongs from acts passed by the Italian Go vernment, and he prayed the house to grant him redress. The petition, which was voluminous, was read at the table. MARK-LANE. Very small supplies of English wheat were received fresh up to this morning's market, but there were several samples on offer left over from previous market days. For all qualities the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's de cline in the quotations. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive. Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions, yet no further quotable change took place in the currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and prices had a downward tendency. The demand for all kinds of barley was in a sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations ruled in favour of buyers. Good and fine malt soli steadily at full prices, but inferior parcels were somewhat neglected. Good sweet oats were firm as to value. Inferior descrip tions, however, were dull, and the currencies had a down ward tendency. Beans and peas were in short supply and steady request, at full quotations. The flour trade was dull, at about Monday's currency. AMAIN - ALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. 'Walt. Oats. Flour. Eng115h........ 820 530 1,910 / 9:0 1110 sack .

Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief secretary for Ireland if he had any official information to the effect that the recent murder in the county of Tipperary was committed about 3 p.m., at a most open spot on the public high road within two and a half miles of the police station at New Inn, and three and a half miles of those at Cashel and Golden respectively, and that its coin mission was not known to the police at New Inn until 7 p.m., at Cashel until 8 p.m., or at Golden until the foil-m -ing morning. Sir R. PEEL said that three persons had been arrested who were suspected of having been implicated in the mur der in question. From the information which he had received, he was enabled to bear testimony to the efficient services which had been rendered by the constabulary in Ireland in reference to the detection of those suspected of implication in this murder. Two of those persons charged with the murder were arrested about two hours after the murder was committed. COURT OF ADMIRALTY (IRELAND). Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he intended to introduce any bill during the present ses sion of Parliament for extending the jurisdictien, amending the form of procedure, and payment of salaries in lieu of fees of the officers of the Court of Admiralty in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said it was not intended to introduce any bill of that character this session. SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government had succeeded hi negotiating a fresh treaty with the Govern ment of the United States for the suppression of the slave trade; and, if so, whether he was prepared to lay such treaty upon the table of the house ? Mr. LAYARD said that a treaty of a satisfactory char acter in relation to this subject had been entered into, and that he had no objection to lay it on the table. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. Mr. M. GIBSON, in reply to a question, said he would not bring on this bill this evening. CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. On the order fcr the second reading of this bill, Sir S. NORTHCOTE having taken objection to certain items in the Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said that he had to complain of the financial theory pro pounded by . the right hon. gentleman, namely, that he was responsible for any expenditure recommended to the Government. In making this observation he was only reflecting the impression which prevailed in the country, for the community at large looked forward to the financial minister as being responsible for any measures relating to finance, or at all events to Government, who had adopted the scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He contended that it, was a most unconstitutional doctrine that Government should release themselves from the respon sibility of such financial changes as those r ecommended y the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he referretd of tohis the authority of the late Sir Robert Peel in s u p views. The Chancellor of the Exchequer wasp.coornsidered to be the exponent and perpetuator of the policy of that statesman, but he denied that he was e ntitled to that cha racter. He was only a follower in a half sense of that statesman. In illustration o f that statement he said tha t the policy of the late Sir Robert Peel was always to h ave a surplus in our expenditure, and he denounced in strong terms the removal of theduty on paper, which he believed the late distinguished statesman, to whom he referred, would never have assented to under t he fina ncial position of the national exchequer, at a time when the impost was removed. He condemned the policyof the Government as regarded the expenditure on military works, which he contended were quite unnecessary in the existing re l ations with foreign countries. (Hear, hear.) There was no chance of any country attacking us, an d , according to the policy of this country, which was that of non-interven tion, there was no great chance of us invading other nations. Notwithstanding this fact the country was called on to provide a large military establishment to meet ima ginary dangers. In reference to Italy, it was most desirable that that country should work out her free dom. (Cheers from both sides of the house.) In carrying out this object difficulties might have to be en countered, and this country might have to be called on to interfere, but it would not be in the character of an armed mediation. Having adverted to the progress of science in regard to military operations, which had so rapidly super seded the old tactics of the military system, ho admitted that the defects of our system were fully developed the events which had taken place in the Russian war, but at the same time these defects had now been remedied. (Hear, hear.) Under all these circumstance, he felt bound, without any party spirit, to object in the strongest terms to the military expenditure proposed by the Government for the present year. Dir. W. FORS'fill pronounced a warm eulogium upon the Manchester speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he said encouraged the hope that the house would be called upon to consider whether the expenditure—parti cularly the naval and military—was not susceptible of re duction with a due regard to the honour and safety of the country. Mr. HUBBARD called attention to the unequal pressure of the income tax upon persons in the receipt of fluctuating incomes, and urged the necessity of adopting some measures of redress. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER disclaimed the exaggerated and highly-coloured interpretation put upon his Manchester speech by Sir S. Northcote. So far from repudiating the responsibility which belonged to hi s department, he fully accepted it, and was ready to assert it in the case as well of the Government as of Parliament. He argued that the circumstances of the country at the present moment were exceptional ; and they were these --an in creased war expenditure, the distress Prevaili ng in the manufacturing districts, and the military demands for China, New Zealand, and North America, all of which were elements which must act in a greater or less degree upon the state of the finances. Yet, notwithstanding those exceptional circumstances, the expenditure of the country had been somewhat reduced, and he had ventured to re commend that we should continue, with as much vigour as possible, but all due caution, in the same course. 11e denied that he had departed from the principles of the late Sir R. Peel, and in prcof referred to the fact that in 1842 the right hon. baronet repealed faxes to a large amount, and ended the year with a deficit of £1,.500,000. With regard to the charge that the Government had recklessly disposed of funds from which a surplus might have been provided, and that if the paper duty had been retained the surplus would have been more than a million, he did not believe that the house would have allowed them to maintain such a surplus ; and the remission of the paper duty stood as an act done by the House of Commons, and from its consequences the house could not escape. He pointed to the effects of the commercial policy of the G. vernment in an extended trade, enhanced employment, the generally improved condition of the people, and, notwithstanding all adverse. influences, the recovery of from £BOO,OOO to £1,000,000 a year of revenue since the year 1869. Mr. DISRAELI congratulated the house and the coiun-. try upon the admission of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he was ready to assume the responsibility attaching to his office, and defend and vindioate the financial policy of the Government. The right hon. gentleman had declared that no government could have retained a surplus of a million without repealing the paper duty, lut he had omitted to state that whilst applying his surplus to the abolition of that duty he had neglected to pay a million of Exchequer bills then due, and he had not denied that he had exhausted the extraordinary resources of the country to the amount of £4,000,000 in two years, that he had com menced the year with a million and a half of surplus, and, although two millions cf terminable annuities had fallen in, that he concluded the year with a deficit of two millions and a half. The bill now before the house proposed the largest amount of annual taxation that was ever contained in one bill, and it was not a measure to be passed, of course, as if it were no more than a bill of indemnity. What were the exceptional circumstances that justified such an enor mous amount of taxation ? And why were we expending so much upon armaments? Our self-defence was adequate and complete, and we had no reason to fear invasion. We had no great object of material importance to attain; for the country was in possession of everything that the pride of a rational community could desire. Yet we had the prospect of a deficit falling upon exhausted resources and a declining trade. It was quite clear, therefore, if the ex penditure was to be maintained at its present rate, there must be an appeal to fresh taxation ; and upon whom would that fall ? During a time of peace we were bearing a war expenditure, whilst we had a financial system that w as founded on a peace expenditure. We had been increasing the expenditure to the war rate, whilst we had been gradu ally and continuously destroying the sources of permanent revenue. What, then, must follow ? The maintenance of such an expenditure must produce increased taxation, and that must fall upon that milch cow, the landed interest. He believed that the object of our increased armaments was to maintain our influence in the councils of Europe, and that it was the jealousy and misunderstanding between France and England which had led to them, and which he could only account for by the circumstancethat the two countries having the same objects, contemplated those objects in a different light. This was essentially the case with r espec t to the question of Southern Italy, in reference to which the two Governments were in accord on the main principle at issue. Seeing, then, that fear of invasion was an absolute illusion, that there was no point of importance that England had to attain, and that the councils of Europe in which we wanted to exercise an influence consisted only of England and France—the latter cur cordial ally—it ended in this, that we were arming against that ally. Oh, but this was called governing by moral power; but four or five years of such government by moral power would necessarily lead us to a European war. And how should we then find ourselves prepared, with our financial reserve exhausted ? Why, there was no fleet or armament that gave England such influence in the councils of Europe as the consciousness that , the in come tax was to a virgin state. He called uponthe Govern ment, then, to reverse their policy, to come to a really cor dial understanding--a sensible as well as cordial under standing—with the only power which, with itself, formed the councils of Europe, and put an end those swollen and bloated armaments which had brought the country into its present state of financial embarrassment. It was only by following out a policy of conciliation, not of an overbear ing and dictatorial character, t)sat we could establish truly friendly feelings of France, and that substantial and per manent relief could be supplied to the taxpayers of the country. Lord PALMERSTON said the right hon. gentleman appeared to have forgotten some of the antecedents of his own party, and had talked of bloated armaments, although the Government of which he was the loader in this house took great credit to itself, in the person of Sir John Pak ington, for reconstructing the navy and augmenting those bloated armaments. The right hon. gentleman had objected to naval, to military, and to moral power; but in the ab sence of these it was hard to say what rower we were to exercise to retain our influence among the nations of the world. He also said we were in a perpetual state of hostility with France, the power with which we professed to be in amicable alliance ; but this was not the fact, as was proved by the frank and open communication between the two Go vernments in relation to American affairs, and more especi ally in the matter of the Trent. It could not be expected, however, but that questions would arise which might be looked at in different lights by England and France, ac cording as they viewed them with reference to their respec tive interests, and this sufficiently accounted for the differ ence in their views respecting the occupation of Rome ani the affairs of Italy. He should have been ashamed of the Government if they had not expressed their sympathy with the cause of Italian independence, but they had not em ployed any portion of those bloated armaments for the pur pose of enforcing their ideas on that subj ect. He should like to know where the right bon. gentleman was when the navy and army estimates were proposed. As an economist, as a reformer, as the patron of the gentlemen below the gangway on the opposite side of the house, as the supporter of the Pope, and as the mouthpiece of the Government of France, how did the right hon. gentleman reconcile it wi h his duty not to have raised his voice from his place against those bloated armaments ? He (Lord Palmerston) was as sensible as any one of the necessity of practising real eco nomy in the public expenditure ; but economy was a distri butive virtue, and must be te m p ere d w ith prudence. He also agreed that the keystone of our foreign policy wa s a friendly alliance with F rance; b u t without anticipat i ng attack, that object could o nly be attained by meeting he r thataahad on such terms of perf e ct equality of power th at our councils m sh o o r u e ld i r o n n o t b h e ip a s s b cr ail ib d ed in t g o tthhaenwe dictates of fear. had, so it Francew a total perversion of facts to say th at the En glish navy was a bloated service as compare d with that o f o th er countries. Our relations with France were as friendly as it was possi ble for the two countries to be. and the policy of the Govern ment was simple and ?lain. It was the cultivation of friend ship with eve ry foreign power th a t was disposed to cultivate it with us. After some observations from Colonel Dickson, Mr. Lindsay (who condemned the foreign policy of the Govern ment, as most dangerous with regard both to America and Italy), Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Ball, Sir W. JOLLIFFE said the noble lord had expressed disapproval of the use, by Mr. Disraeli, of the term "bloated armaments," but he believed there was hardly a man in the house who would not say that the armaments both of France and oflthis country were equally deserving the ap pellation. With regard to the bill under consideration, be objected to the manner in which it proposed to tramper with that great instrument of defence, the income tar.. Some observations by Mr. GRIFFITH on foreign policy brought the debate to a close, and the bill was read a second time. The house then went into committee of supply, and agreed to the vote of £342,000 for education. On the vote of £7,017 for the Royal Dublin Society, Mr. DILLWYN moved that the Chairman report pro. gress. The motion was resisted by the Government, but on a division it was carried by 65 to 59, and the house resumed. Tho Companies, &c., Bill, the Public Workg and Har bours Act Amendment Bill, the Oxford University Bill, and the Drainage (Ireland) Bill were severally read a second time. The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company Bill and the Smoke Nuisance (Metropolis) Acts Amendment J3ill were respectively read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned.
