IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN'I' Just published, in 2 vols. Bvo. price 21s. cloth, We have received papers from Bombay to April 27. The general news is very meagre. The pre vailing topic of dismission is Mr. Wilson'S budget and Sir Charles Trovelyan's minute. In the Le gislative Council on the 14th, Mr. Wilson, in moving the second reading of the Income_tax Bill, entered into fuller explanation of the general prin ciples of the measure. With reference to the minute of the Governor of Madras, he said that the mem bers of the Government had felt deep and painful astonishment at seeing documents conceived and expressed in such a tone emanating from a subor dinate Government. It was an opposition without parallel in Indian history. However the Govern ment had no doubt what course to pursue. They were precluded on public grounds from entering into controversy on the subject, but they had taken such steps as were due to the public , interests and their own position to obviate the mischief which might be caused by this act of " wanton in- ' discretion.'

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the Cure - of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management Is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Mr. Bruce is to receive a final answer from the Emperor on the 10th of April. The Ist, 3d, 31st, 44th, 67th, and 99th Regiments, and the Ist battalion of the Military train are here. Sir Hope Grant takes a trip to Chusan and Shanghai in a few days. The only fear expressed here is that there may be no fighting. General Sir C. Van Straubenzee goes to England next mail. No horses have arrived yet from India. The whole army will be ready to move about the 15th of April. The 'all Bengal Native Infantry are going to Calcutta on the 31st (March) in the Prince Arthur, having been relieved by the 33 Bombay Native Infantry. THE' PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, Captain W. B. Hall, with the above mails, in charge of Lieutenant Charleton, R.N., arrived this morning at one p.m. She brings 42 passen gers, including Admiral Sir G. Slartorius, Major Mansfield, and the Rev. Mr. Lowe. The Tagus brings eight packages specie, value £2,640, and the following cargo-531 half chests oranges, 475 boxes potatoes, 245 boxes eggs, 64 ele phants' tusks, and 29 packages sundries. On the 19th, at 5 a.m. spoke her Majesty's ship Queen in lat. 43 18 N., a.m., 9 W., standing S.W. The same date the Pez insular and° dental Company's steamer Sultan, steering the same course, and on the 21st, at 3 a.m., the Pera, steering W.S.W. LISBON, 17.—The two Dutch frigates Evertsen and Admiral Van Wassen have put into this port leaky. Unfortunately there is no means of repairing them here, and they are waiting orders how to act. There is nothing more desirable in Lisbon than a floating dock for the repairs of vessels, and no commercial speculation could possibly be more lucrative. The Portuguese see the necessity of such an undertak ing, which, if brought forward by English capital and enterprise in the formation of a company, would most certainly meet witli every encourage ment here from shareholders. The Volunteers for the African expedition are collecting in the various districts throughout the country ; the force will consist of artillery and in fantry, the latter are to be supplied with the En field Rifles. A commis: ion from the Government is forwarded by this packet for the purchase of rifles for the entire army. H. R. H. the Duke of Oporto will accompany the expedition in the " Bartholomew Dias," but the new Commander-in-Chief-of the land forces is not yet known; all the several officers we named are likely to be appointed. The Cortes have conferred a pension of £l,OOO on the widow of the Duke of Terceira ; indepen dent of which she becomes Mistress of the Robes, and enjoys the official residence of the late Duke, as Master of the Horse and Governor of Belem Castle. The Marquis of Soule, her brother, is appointed Master of the Horse.

GARIBALDI'S SUCCESSFUL LANDING AT MARSALA. The following letter has been received, via Malta : * * * * On Thursday, the 10th of May, at about 9 p.m., we started from Palermo for Mar sala, in consequence of a dispute at the latter place between the General commanding that district and the British merchants residing there. A general disarmament of the people had taken place, and, what is rather unusual, the arms of the English bad been taken away also, leaving them with their large factories and immense property at the mercy of revolutionists or robbers, or, what perhaps is worse than either, any parties of Neapolitan sol diers who might be straggling about. The Intrepid accompanied us from Palermo, and early in the morning she looked into Trapani. Daylight also showed us that we were accom panied by two Neapolitan steamers, sent to watch our proceedings no dolbt. At about 10 a.m. on Friday, the 11th, we anchored' off Marsala. The Intrepid shortly after anchored half-way between us and the shore. The two Neapolitans continued their journey, apparently to take a look further on the coast, or to acquaint the frigate, which was cruising in that direction, with our arrival off the place. They had barely got out of sight when two other steamers were seen coming straight in from seaward at full speed. As they approached they hoisted Sardinian colours, and as they , passed close to our stern it was impossible to mis take who or what they were. On the deck of the foremost and smaller one there were but few men to be seen ; those that were visible, however, were nearly all dressed in red flannel blouses, which gave them something of the appearance of English sol diers. On the bridge with th e ca pt a i n or p il ot was an officer in a red blouse, similar to the rest, and distinguished by a feather in his cap. This we conjectured to be Garibaldi himself. All the men were armed, and a field-piece pointed out from an opening in the 'bulwarks just abaft the starboard paddlebox. The other and larger vessel, how ever, was literally crammed with men, like her rings in a cask; some in red, some in dark green, like riflemen, but by far the greater part were in plain citizen's attire. Both steamers made direct for the mole, the smaller one getting in all right, and the other grounding about a hundred yards short of the mole-head. They commenced to land from the inner one immediately, and, so far from there being only a few on board, it was really surprising where they could have been all stowed. The first parties who landed proceeded in small numbers up to the town. Not the least opposition was offered, except that the health officer came hurryiug to meet them, to know "if they had pratique. He seemed reluctait to do what they required of him until he had seen their bill of health; but there was that confounded semaphore swinging its arms about as if in a perfect rage, so. the good gentleman was placed in front, and ordered to walk straight to the semaphore. In about ten minutes it ceased from its labours. Another party sought out an individual who was acting as a commis sioner for the Government, and was obtaining a list of the names of persons who had taken part in a very mild demonstration a few weeks before. He was found, and. his papers distributed in much analler pieces than he had intended ; another party opened the prison gates, and we have heard were not particularly discriminating as to whether all the prisoners were political or not. In the meantime the smaller steamer had been cleared of men, stores, guns, and ammunition, the latter being laid along the mole to be removed as soon as both steamers were cleared.. There ap peared some delay in getting boats to disembark the people from the steamer aground, but at length they arrived in any number, and of all sizes, and the -men desCended in a most orderly man ner, as boat after boat came alongside the ladder. By this time the affair was getting very exciting ; the Neapolitans had evidently caught sight of them, and were feturaing, as hard as they could come, and "cleared 'for action too." The frigate, too, was coining dOwn with every sail set, right before a beautiful breeze. It was certainly a splen did sight to see the cool and steady way in which the insurgents got into the boats to be paddled to the shore. But now the steamers are drawing well within range, and still there are hundreds to land; the foremost steamer stops—how we watched that bow gun of hers! Why doesn't she fire? Had she done so she might have slaughtered them like sheep. But no, she backs and fills, now ahead, now astern, signalling all the time to the frigate, which is by this time getting disagreeably close. Bravo, time has not been wasted, they are all landed, and as they reach the mole they are formed in fours, and marched off, as if from parade. Ah! there goes a shot from the steamer—short, by George ! There goes another; the men on the mole dip, and it passes over them ;, again 'they march. But here's the frigate—she has _shortened sail and is passing gently along in a line with the mole ; now she's right abreast of them. Bang, bang, bang, gun after gun a whole broadside of grape and canister. There is not a man to be seen ; they are all down, the storm passes over, and up they are again marching as orderly as before. Frigate and steamers now keep at a respectful distance, throwing occasional shot and shell at the work ing parties as they clear the mole of the landed stores. Horses and carts have been pressed into the service, and as they carry the things along the mole and up the road to the town gate they are often smothered in dust from a ricochet shot, but I believe throughout the whole affair only one man was wcunded. The whole was one of intense excitement ; it was one of those dashing, brilliant affairs that only such a man as Garibaldi could have accomplished. A landing effected with twelve hundred men, each armed with a rifle, a revolver, and a cutlass • large quantitie s o f spare arms and ammunition, and four field-pieces; this was done in just one hour and three-quarters in the very teeth of a frigate and two steamers, without hurry or disorder, and without r e t urn i ng a shot. In the dusk of the evening the frigate's boats towed the steamer outside the mole, and after dark the steamer towed her away; the insurgents had evidently damaged the machinery before leav ing her. The other was still hopelessly aground, and there she lies still, perfectly " gutted" by this time, The Neapolitans were about to fire upon her the following morning, but as th e y cou ld h ar dl y have done that without doing immense damage to the English factory directly opposite which the steamer lay, they abandoned their intention. Had they done so it would have been quite useless, for the insurgents evidently did not wish to use her again,. Garibaldi and his men, considerably rein forced, having marched away at five in the morn ing towards Salemi, en route for Palermo. TILE _DERBY, 1860. TO TIIE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sse„—As your columni are always cpen to th 3 discussion of anything that is of public interest, I venture to address you a few lines on the merits of the candidates for the blue ribbon of the turf, to be decided on Wednesday next, and shall take the names in the order they appear in the 'lists of the betting, commencing with The Wizard, whose vie tory for the Two Thousand, caused so much astoe niehment to the aristocratic audience of the private performance at Whitewall, and sent him to the head of the list of favourites for the Derby. The mistake in the trial has never yet been accounted for; but, on looking at The W;zard's two-year-old performance, I find the first time he came out he won in a canter, beating Trovatore and Emily (no very grand opponent), and the second time with 5 to 1 on him, was beaten by Vanquisher, an animal that was soon afterwards proved to be very mode rate. I may be told that the Wizard was amiss, but they_do not usually lay 5 to 1 on a horse that is amiss ; therefore, my opinion is that the Wizard is a horse that can run when he likes, but that is not always. The field behind him in the Two Thbusand, from the position of,the King of Dia monds, was very moderate, and from there being, nothing beat till half way down the Bushes Hill, it must have been but an indifferent pace. Still the Wizard won like a racehorse, and , though he will meet very different tackle in the Derby, he must, with John Scott's skill, if in the humour, be extremely dangerous. Umpire's position in the betting is most extraordinary, unless there is some thing that people, who only study Ruff's "Guide," are not aware of; at Goodwood he won the Nur sery, receiving 171bs. outright from Cheescake, who could have been second if persevered with when her chance was out, and we then find Restes rum - sing' this same mare to a head, giving 121b5., so that ne could have won the Nursery at Goodwood, Carrying 271bs. more than Umpire did, and yet his price for the Derby is 40 1, Umpire at Stockton, with 6 to 4 against him only, andereceiving 21bs., beats High Treason by a head, the said High Trea son having run twice at York the. week before ; the next day he received slbs. from the same horse, and of course beat him more easily ; and I should think there must be seine truth in the report that Mr. Jacques only started his horse for the fourth time in nine days at a further disadvantage of weight, because he thought that there was some informality in Umpire's entry. Nor do I like a horse on the spot not running for a great engage ment like the 2,000 guinea stakes, worth nearly £4,000, especially when the fi e ld, from peculiar circumstances, was supposed to have dwindled doWn to horses of very moderate pretensions. I do not think this form good enough, and shall, there fore, unhesitatingly pronounce Umpire " out." " Thormanby'' has done work enough as a two year-old for the life of most horses, and curious to state, at the end of the season sho we d more f orm though that was g oo d horse g has neve r b een b ea t and the way h o b eat enough o than v er a h df d io i sr d t aa a nn t cy t et h h e oi nf b ge ground t i i n s in , Thunderbolt for the Criterion, giving hitnBlbs. shows that his running with Melbourne was amistake, for Thunderbolt was unquestionably in form later than at Goodwood, having won three races in succession just before, and afterwards beating Rattlebone, at Sibs., over a mile; a performance not to be despised when we saw how the grey performed over a dis tance of ground at Salisbury. I cons id er T hor. manby one of the Most dangerous h orses i n the and shows no );\ against him, l l him, last year, it w ill and I shall take him as one to furnish the winn er . Main stone'sashear first performance was with Thormanby, when, receiving Ms., he was beaten by a head, he at the same time being very unfit to run, and would now hardly be recognised as the great rough-coated unfurnished . horse he looked at Northampton. Isis next performance was at Salisbury, where over half a mile he defeated the speedy Lady Falconer, who the day before had equally easily disposed of a field of seven, amongst which was Fravola. He then ran at Stockbridge, • when his stable (not being bad j u d ges ) bi d 9 to 4 I on him from what they knew at home. His per formance did not please all the cognicenti for two reasons; first, they thought he won in a slovenly manner; and, secondly, Leprauchaun was second. But this latter horse never looked or went better than he did that day, and gained many friends after cantering up the course; and from the way he was backed at Ascot, John Scott must have tried him to have been a good horse at some time ; and I believe it was from his exertions in this race that he never ran respectably since. I am the more strengthened in this opinion, as the field behind was far from despicable. Apollo we saw win in a canter twice at Salisbury. St. Albans was there, and Twang, who was last, was good enough to go to. Newmarket the next week and give the great Umpire 31bs and a beating, though this, I suppose, was only an interesting problem for some of our This horse, since Stockbridge, has never had a days' illness till last Monday, when after a mile and a half gallop with Kinnersley, giving him 3st , his off fore fetlock showed signs of filling—having had his last s wea t on the Saturday, they were in no hurry with him, and he walked the next three days, and on the Friday resumed his wo r k, a nd passed his exami nation before Professor' Spooner on the Saturday, instead of Professor Promised Laud as was pre viously intended. A finer looking horse will not be stripped for the Derby, and if he has half as much pluck as his owner he will be very near win ning. Buccaneer was always considered the best two-year-old last year, and he made a sad example of his opponents in the July, but when we come to consider that Nicholas and Blue Ruin were the two behind him, we are not so much lost in astonish ment. His owner ordered him to be ridden out, and the consequence was he became a great favourite for the 2,000 and the Derby. Whether such a policy has answered, the warning as regards two stable-boys, in the Racing Calendar, will speak to; but the horse appears to have been attacked with something resembling the itch, and, therefore, without punning, had to be scratched for the 2,000. Since then he has joined the for midable lot of Isaac Woolcott, and has not only been with Seclusion, but in it also, as nobody has been allowed to see him. I doubt, after his illness, his being got sufficiently fit to successfully compete for eo great a stake as the Derby. Nutbourne, on paper, is the best performer out, but labours under the disadvantage of being a large, difficult horse to train, and also is only in a small private establishment. His late jockey, I fear,' will hardly ride him, but he has always appeared to be surrounded with so much talent that there will be no difficulty about that, but I shall not take him as my winner. High Treason has been backed by clever people, and his owner is very sanguine ; at all events, he has a right to expect to be where Umpire is, but, as I said of the latter, I do not think the form good enough, and shall not stand on him. Horror I hear a good account of, and he has been backed for a good deal of money. His first appear ance in public was not in his favour, but his stable are clever people, and he may, for all I know to the contrary, be the best horse in England. Cape Flyaway has won every time he has started this year, and if not in The Wizard's stable would be a great favourite. I expect to see him run well. Kestes, from last yeah running Cheesecake to a head at 121bs. says a good deal for him, should an' outsider won he would be thy selection. Brother to Rainbow keeps all the Dee Stakes horses and a host of others safe, though we have seen a horse defeated for the Dee won the Derby, but there were peculiar circumstances that year that may not happen again. Having thus gone through the merits of most of the horses that are likely to start,- I shall select three to stand upon, viz , The Wizard, and the two old opponents at Northampton, Thormanby and Mainstone; and of these I think the early form will be found the best, and those two'will be close together again, but that this tithe Mainstone will be found to have improved the most, and also to have a trifle the best of the speed ; and Mr. Clark's return of the Derby, 1860, will be--- M AINSTONE THORMANBY WIZARD WHALEBONE. lE NA V.l'.

That tax, as stated in the preamble of the act, was imposed for the purpose of enabling her Majesty Queen Anne vigorously to carry on the war then raging, and it was to continue until she had secured a lasting peace. Contemporary writers inform us that the real object of the b 11 was to impose restrictions on the press, which was at that time thought too licentious. It is curious that Swift, the great Tory writer and the friend of the then* Ministry, complained of this proceeding both in verse and in prose. In verse, describing himself, he said— " His works are hawked in every street, "But seldom rise above one sheet ; " Of late, indeed, the paper-stamp "Did very much his genius cramp." As you may suppose, in his history of the last four years of Queen Anne's reign there is a passage, which is too long to read to your lordships, but which is well worthy of atten tion, arguing, upon Conservative grounds, against the cheap publications of a political character. The law, how ever, with some modifications, has continued to our time. in 1832 an agitation was begun against it. In 1835 1 a Royal Commission, of which Sir Henry Parnell was at the head, was appointed to examine into the tax. They recommended some mo lifications, and also the reduction of the duty by one-half. That reduction accordingly took place, NIT s followed by an enormmsly increased consump tion, and, what is more remarkable, by a diminu►ion in the price of paper to double the amount of the reduction. The Commission begged it should not be thought that they ap proved the tax, and they hoped the time would soon come when far greater benefits would result from its total repeal. Motions were then made in the House of Commons on the subject. Two years ago an abstract resolution was adopted there ; and although in general abstract resolutions respect ing taxation are not very desirable, it was adopted with the full concurrence of the late Government. Her Majesty's present Ministers decided upon the repeal of the tax this session. They brought forward a proposal to the effect in the House of Commons; it has in different shapes gone through the ordeal of three divisions in the house ; and it now comes here for your lordships' approval. On any or dinary occasion, I should have satisfied myself with the short history I have given of this tax in order to induce your lorilships to take your share, whatever that may be, in the work of relieving the people from a burden of this character. Considering, however, the notice which has been given by my noble friend below me (Lord Monteagle), and the energetic assurances given by the noble earl (Lord Derby) that he would not only vote for but would use all his endeavours in the support of the noble baron's motion, I think it necessary to trouble yOur lordships at much greater length than I should otherwise have wished on this subject. I must first briefly refer to the objections which are likely to be brought against this bill. From the report of what took place on Saturday, I have reason to suppose that the noble earl does not intend to go much into the merits or demerits of this tax. I was quite prepared for this course, because the noble earl, no doubt, felt that it was impossible to say anything in its favour. Half the leading members of the late Government, indeed, have declared themselves on this point. Lord Stanley, whose opiltions on any question affecting the social state of the country are so liberal and unprejudiced, has long been known as a warm opponent of the tax. Sir B. Lytton, a very able public man and man of letters, has been most eloquent in his denunciations of the tax, and has described it very truly and very happily as a tax on knowledge. The late Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that it combined moral as well as physical objections, and, as leader of the house, he agreed to the resolution to which I have just re ferred, and which declared that paper was not a fit object of permanent taxation. By the report of what took place, as well as by a gentleman who was present, I am informed that the noble earl, in answer to a deputation which waited upon him on a previous occasion, declared that he only re peat:A his former impressions when he stated that this tax was bad in principle and bad in practice. lam not there fore surprised at his determination to refrain now from en tering into the merits of the tax ; but, as I don't know what view may be taken by the noble lords on the subject it will be necessary that I should state as shortly as I can what are some of the principal objections to it. There is a phrase used by Lord Stanley which so well describes the operation of the tax that I should almost wish to take it as the text of the objections which may be advanced to it. He stated that the tax was vexatious in collection, that it impeded improvements in manufacture, that it heightened the price of an article the demand for which exceeded the supply, and pressed injuriously on the supply of cheap literature and the diffusion of news. As to its being vexatious in collec tion, I must refer to the report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue published on the Ist of March in the pre sent year. I see the noble baron smile, but Ido trust that in this house we shall not hear the insinuations which have been thrown out elsewhere, that this is not the deli berate opinion of the commissioners, but a report got up to order. To prevent the repetition here of a statement so derogatory to the gentlemen of high character who com pose the Board of Inland Revenue I will state what I have ascertained on this point. I went to Somerset-hearse for the purpose of making inquiry on the subject, and what I found to be the case was this :—Very soon after the passing of the resolution agreed to by the late Government the difficulty of collecting the tax daily became greater. Towards the be ginning of this year the board got applications for exemp tion to which they were unable to give any answer what ever; and in this dilemma, not knowing whether the Go verment meant to repeal the tax or not, they appointed some of their most able and practical officers to.examine into the question and see whether they could adopt any changes which might be draughted into a bill, and which, if approved by Parliament, might enable them to collect the tax with something like justice. Afterwards, when the Government, acting partly on the opinion of the Inland Revenue, and partly from reasons to which I shall pre sently advert, came to the determination of repealing the tax, a debate took place in the House of Commons, and Mr. Walpole said that, comparing the former report of the Board with the statement of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, he did not think these were perfectly consistent. I think it only just, both to the commissioners and to Mr Gladstone, to state that the former drew up this report per fectly spontaneously, and without the slightest communi cation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer or any other member of the Government. I shall be confirmed in this statement by the noble earl opposite, as he can tell your lordships that during the time he was in office letters were constantly received at the Treasury from the commissioners bearing exactly on the same point. [Here the Earl of Derby made some intimation.] If the noble earl does not know it, I can assure him that it is the fact. I will read one or two sentences from the report. (The noble earl pro ceeded to read from the report of the commissioners pas • sages to the effect that it was their deliberate opinion that the paper duty was rapidly becoming untenable; and the commissioners explained that there was no inconsistency whatever between their different reports ; they stated that in their third report cf last year they were compelled to draw attention to the great and increasing embarrassments involved in the collection of this tax, and they might have added that the evils of which they complained had been ac cumulating for many years previously, and that the attempt to frame new regulations had entirely failed.) The whole of the report is well worthy of your lordships' attention, as showing the excessive injustice and inequality of the tax, and the necessity to which they were driven to exercise an arbitrary decision, there being no definition of " paper" sufficiently:clear. The noble earl opposite, in the course of a speech he delivered on Saturday last, stated that he had heard a good deal of a contrary character from publishers, booksellers, and newspaper proprietors, and stated that be was intrusted with petitions from Irish newspaper proprie tors on the subject. I can explain this matter to your lordships, and the petitions of the Trish newspaper pro prietors need not have very great effect on your lordships' minds. The Irish newspapers only pay three farthings tax, and th e E ng li s h newspapers pay. It/. stamp duty; and the Irish ne it - sleeper proprietors had-bigtal told that if they were relieved from the necessity of buying '‘ dear paper, it would be only fair to put them on an , equility with the English newspaper proprietors. (Laughter.) With respect to the effect which the abolition of an excise tax his on the manufacture of an article, we all know what hap.. pened on the abolition of the excise duty on glass, how that material was cheapened, and how it ineteased in quantity and improved in quality. I know that with regard to the material from which paper may be made, some persons de dare that fibre is not applicable to the manufacture of the finer and better sorts of paper. Still it is applicable to the manufacture of tepaper most useful to the poorer classes of persons. I remember four or five years ago a very interest ing discussion being brought on in this house respecting the manufacture of beautiful paper from West India fibre ; and a complaint was made that a charter of limited liability had not been granted to a company for the manufacture of that paper. N ow it appears to me a clumsy proceeding to put a tax on one side, and then to prop it up by some special privilege on the other. There are several very ingen:o is ventions waiting to come in to operation as soon as the ex cise duty should be abolished. Pulp may be used for form ing, models from works of art, some of the finer kinds of which are liabl e t o b e h ur t b y contact with clay or plaster of Paris. This pulp is applicable to any work of art with out injury; but it is obliged to be dry before it leaves tho papermaker, and therefore, until the duty should be re pealed, it would be absolutely impossible to use it for the purpose I have indicated. A mill in Lincolnshire, owned by a person named Sharpe, has been built to turn twitch, that most destructive weed to the farmer, into paper; but the tax interferes so much with the process that the owner Las been compelled to shut up the mill. If the duty were repealed the mill would be reopened, lam told. (Hear.) The duty qperates also in a peculiar way in creating a monopoly, owing to the manner in which the payment of the duty is made to press on the millowners, in conse quence of purchases made from them shortly before the moment when the duty must be paid. 'When I see that in America all the processes of papermaking are infinitely superior to ours, that the paper is made much che*,-)ef^-d that the eonaneaptienris. something like treble of oureer head, then, colsideiteg the wealth and enterprise of this country, I think there must be some reason for this. When 1 advert to France, and note the enormous quantities of paper exported from that country, and when I remark that the French paper is superior for printing purposes, the same reflection forces itself on my mind ; as also when I go in imagination to Japan, or read this interesting book written by Captain Osborn in reference to that country. (The noble earl here real an extract from that work, describing the variety of purposes to which paper was applied in Japan, among the articles made from it being saddles and water proof coats that perfectly kept out the *rain. Of so much importance was paper considered in Japan that in the mar riage settlements, in order to protect the wife from a tyran nical husband, it was stipulated that the wife should - be al lowed a certain quantity of paper.) (Laughter.) I think the fact of a great enterprising nation like ours being in re • spect to the manufacture of paper behind the Americans, the French, and the Japanese may, without any great stretch of imagination, be attributed to the effect which we know the Excise laws produce in other matters. With re spect to the repeal of the paper duty, some people have the most extraordinary notions, thinking that that repeal is merely advocated to give a greater circulation to a particu lar newspaper ; expreising extreme views, not certainly in accordance with those held by the majority ef your lord ships. What is the case ?In London there are three penny daily papers,—the Morning Star, %journal of advanced Li beral opinions; the Daily Telegraph, also a Liberal paper, but not on all questiens at one with the Morning Star ; and the Standard, a journal of purely Conservative principles. I bad the pleasure some three days ago of reading an inte restin; and well written article in the Standard, attacking the Liberal party in general, but myself in particular. (A laugh.) Well, I have here a letter written in 1856 by the manager of the Standard, stating that every day he paid £29 to the Excise, and that if the paper duty were repealed he should have 20 for the better remuneration of literary talent and the purchase of better material to print upon, leaving, of e course, a larger profit for the proprietors of ' his journal. He also points out the heavy charge ' placel upon newspapers like the Standard in the obli gation to have their sheets of certain sizes dried before they left the paper-mill, and damped again in the print ing -office, all causing great waste and delay. lie adds that if the paper duty were abolished he has not the slightest doubt that the circulation of the Standard would be doubled in amount. That, surely, is a consummation which noble lords opposite must earnestly desire to bring about, because'', it means that with greater literary talent Conservative l `, principles would spread among double the number of iettders. So with respect to books. The paper duty presses very"' lightly indeed upon popular novels in three volumes, ex pensively got-up annuals, and works of that sort, and vela- able works—such as Macaulay's or Mahon's " History of England." But, when we come to books intended far circu lation among the poorer classes of the community, then, ic stead of 5 or 10 per cent., we have the duty rising t_) 30, 40, 50, and even 60 per cent, upon publications which the • working-classes desire and ought to obtain. Mr. Black says that upon one work alone he paid duty to the amount of £4,000, and he calculates that the tax cost the purchasers of the book at least 18,000—astatement which is, of course, equally applicable to smaller books. Your lordships know that Mr. Knight has been occupied all his life in endeavour ing to spread useful and instructive books at cheap rates among the people. He was the publisher of the " Penny Cyclopmdia," a work brought out under the patronage of a noble and learned lord who is at this moment engaged in the cause of education—a cause which he has served during a long and laborious life—and whose absence I regret to night, because I know he entertains a strong opinion as to the necessity of the immediate abolition of the paper duty. What does Mr. Knight say ? lie states that in 2 years he spent £BO,OOO on authorship, and £50,000 on Excise. The Messrs. Chambers say they have been constantly prevented issuing cheap publications of an improving character in consequence of the paper duty. They once published a • series of instructive tracts sold at three halfpence per copy. The sale was enormous, but after a certain time they 'found, on making up their books, that they had paid .LO,OOO to the • Excise without getting a single farthing in the way of pro fit to themselves, and therefore in the middle of an immense circulation, they stopped the publication. I could go on thus far ever. Here is a bulky pamphlet full of details in which Mr. Knight proves to demonstration that, while the tax on paper falls with crushing effect upon cheap publica tions of an instructive character, it does nothing whatever to stop licentious and obscene books, which are got up for a mere trifle. But let me come to a class of books which greatly interest me—national school books. The duty upon them is quite enormous, and while these school books, on one side, are paying a heavy tax. I, in my office, on the other, am administering Government grants to counteract that effect. (Hear, hear.) It is impossible to conceive a more ridiculous system. lam afraid lam wearying your lord ships, but you can hardly imagine the immense mass of ma terials I have before me all tending to the same point—the condemnation of this most vexatious and unjust tax. But - I shall spare your lordships, and shall assume that the main objection to the repeal of the paper duty is one of a finan cial character. Some of your lordships may think that we ought to have reduced the tea and sugar duties instead of repealing the duty on paper. (Hear, hear.) That is a ques tion upon which two opinions may fairly be held. All I cay say is, that after mature consideration the Government ' came to the conclusion that the repeal of the paper duty would afford the greatest amount of relief to the trade and industry of the country. I must add that they were pecu liarly urged to that conclusion by the report of the Excise Commissioners stating that the tax was untenable in its present shape, and that it could not be improved. Again, some of your lordships may be of opinion that we ought to have taken a less income 'tax and to have retained the paper duty. That ~uestion was started in the House of Commons, it was discussed there at considerable length, and decide d in the negative; therefore I need not trouble your lordships with any remarks upon it. lam not aware that there can he any other financial objection to our proposal except this, that the Government have been improvident in providing for the financial necessities of the year, which must mean either that we were improvident at the time our budget was produced, or that the circumstances which have sinoc curred have stamped that character upon our propos itio n s. Now, I am not going to make a long financial statemen t to your lordships, although, after the example you are go i ng not you sure th t e h lu at bo r r t ato wi fina ll not become tsthoiteisoensetu.st:mnlingtilothtlartloucabamisee I trust that a second Chancellor of the Exchequer will be appointed for the purpose of supplying you with that information which must be re quisite to enable your lordships to adjust the balance between. income and expenditure. Meanwhile, as that course has not yet been adopted, I feel myself en tirely relieved from the obligation of inflicting upon your lordships the intolerable tedium of a budget speech from iv y mouth, and shall content myself with merely stating the general principles upon which Government have acted in dealing with the finances for the year—a year, be it re membered, so difficult that I believe it was looked forward to by the late Government under the awful designation o: " the year of immortal smash." (A. laugh.) Well, my lords, this year of immortal smash presents, at all events, one re markable peculiarity. Our expenditure is greater than ever it was before in a time of peace. To provide for that vast outlay the Government were not content to frame a plan which should only just make the twa ends meet, but they proposed, while raising an adequate revenue, to continue those commercial reforms and improvementa which not only have conferred enormous benefits upon the nation at large, but which have produced a peculiar and extraordinary strength and elasticity in our revenue, especially in our in direct taxation. The only possible objection to our finan cial policy in this respect must be connected with the ques tion which has already been put to me this afternoon—the probable expense of the Chinese war. Now, when we made our budget arrangements we did not know whether we should have war with China or not. (A loud Cry of "Hear, hear" from Earl Grey.) The noble lord gives me a most insulting cheer upon a matter of fact—that we did not know whether there was war or peace, We had given orders for the fitting
