Txi■ DAY.—Morning, 2h. 4m.—Afternoon, 2h. 20m, To-monitow.-Morning, 2h. 35m.—Afternoon, 2h. 51m The argument of Ministers, in regard to the Commercial Treaty with France, is simply and avowedly this—For the sake of Peace with the most formidable of our neighbours, to the end that • we may draw closer and closer the bonds of alliance between Imperial France and Constitutional Eng land, we will—with the responsibility of an enor mous deficit upon our shoulders—increase that de ficit by foregoing another £1,000,000 ! We will negotiate a scheme of mercantile reciprocity, of so novel a character, that the advantages shall be all on one side ! We will facilitate the acquisition by France of coal and iron, transferred from our own shores to those of our neighbours, with the obvious result, if not for the express purpose, of forwarding the interests of the French military and maritime services, thus fostering and encouraging to the uttermost their simultaneous development ! We will so arrange matters with our Imperial ally, that the tendency of this Treaty must inevitably be to advance the French shipping interests at the expense of our own! We will, in the name of Free Trade, rigidly bind ourselves down for ten years to come to the stipulations embodied in this Royal and Imperial document! We will—as a matter of course, and as we cannot, in fact, help doing in any way constitutionally —reserve to Parliament, but particularly to the House of Com mons, the right of accepting, or rejecting, or modi fying this Treaty ; intimating, however, quite plainly to Parliament, but particularly to the House of Commons, that that right is purely nominal, is simply mentioned as a matter of form, and that there cannot be two opinions, but that it is a right that must not really be exercised under present circumstances ! We will do all this, and a great deal more of the like kind, to propitiate France, and Foram sake of Peace in the Treaty, at the very same time that we submit to the House of Commons a WAR BUDGET of the most extraordinary character. If Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget is anything, it is a War Budget. It is a war Budget in Income. And it is a war Budget in Expenditure. It makes up an immense deficit (increased wantonly to the tune of £1,000,000 as a Peace Offering to France) by imposing a war tax indefinitely upon the popula tion, an income tax of tenpence in the pound— bringing, in round numbers, £10,000,000 into the Treasury! It squanders—of the £70,000,000 set apart for the national disbursements within the financial year, 186 0 -61—just £30,000,000 in warlike expen diture! Squanders, we may say advisedly, be cause if the Treaty be worth any thing as a Peace Treaty—this expenditure of £30,000,000 upon our land and sea- forces can be nothing else than a non sequitur, a glaring and idle superfluity and extravagance. No wonder that the noble earl, the leader of the Opposition, should last evening, in consideration of so many e xtraordinar y proposition: bein g su b_ iu itted to the L e g islature b y the Government, here through the Tre at y , there throu g h the Bud °t ' li di s the pressure of such extraordinary circumstances no wonder that Lord DEunv should sp ea k thu s , forcibly in his character as leader of the Opposition, observing—" The question that presents itself to Imly mind is one of the gravest doubt, independent of questions that do not involve financial considera 'ions. In the first place, I think it is a question wt ether it is wise, with regard to our financial regu,lations, N bind ourselves hand and foot for te.to years by the stipulations of the Treaty ; and nex : 4 : 1 however desirable it may be to extend .7e ....,„k i ,.. , • .i,.4,,,A !. ‘,:':.i, - .., 111,7',.8.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 21, 1860. and increase our amicable relations with France, whether this moment is the time to do it, when we have an enormous deficit in our revenue, and when, in order to obtain the supposed advantages of this Treaty, we must largely increase, and, in point of ' fact, make permanent , a s y stem of taxation which has always hitherto been reserved for periods of emergency and war ; whereas if you introduce the amount of 10d. in the pound on all monies in time of proposed peace, you are establishing it as a portion of your ordinary revenue, which you can never get rid of, and depriving yourselves of the most powerful engine that you have for the purpose of raising an extraordinary revenue in time of war. I object to some of the articles in this Treaty on their own merits. I objeet to others, not on their own merits, but because even if I thought the financial calcula tions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer likely to be borne out, I conceive that this is not the moment at which to enter into such stipulations, and that if there were at this moment any means you could provide in the present state of the revenue as a substitute for the loss about to be occasioned by this treaty, I think they would be most objection able for the present, and most dangerous for the future." Thole aie surely—surely very solemn con siderations. They are objections to both Treaty and Budget breathing rather the spirit of Patriotism than of Party. Yet undeniable though they are in their forcefulness, what is the conclusion in regard to both, arrived at, by the hon. and consistent member for Birmingham P Why, Mr. BRIGHT " frankly admitted," to use his own words, in his speech of yesterday, "that he was so much in favour of the Treaty that he could take it as it stood, and he was so much in favour of the Budget that he could take it as it was." He must have an immense financial appetite, Mr. BRIGHT, and the digestive power of a hundred thousand ostriches. He used to strain at gnats only the other day upon plat forms in the northern and midland counties, frankly avowing that he knew no thin) of finance or currency. Yet now, in the House of Com mons, he is swallowing at a gulp a whole caravan of camels. It only needed one thing to render the anomaly perfect on the memo rable night of the Financial Statement, and that thing was not awanting l Mr. GLADSTONE (of all Financiers!) then proposing (in 1860 !) the indefinite renewal of the Income-tax (at 10d !) was interrupted, it may be remembered, 1 by Mr. BRIGHT (of all men in the wide world !) with a sonorous cry of " Hear, hear !" And now at the first intimation of a contest (not as to principle but as to procedure), the hon. member for Birmingham—the avowal is too remark able not to be repeated—" frankly admits that he is so much in favour of the treaty that he can take it as it stands, and he is so much in favour of the Budget that he can take it as it is !" Al though the Free Trade of the Treaty is of so very peculiar a kind that it results in that finan cial phenomenon—a purely one-sided Reciprocity ! And although the Budget thus beloved by the peace-at-any-price economist imposes in a time of Peaoe, and for the sake of Peace, a war-tax of £10,000,000 levied upon the incomes of the popu lation—and although the same eulogised Budget sets apart £30,000,000 in the shape of war expenditure ! This is certainly not only Going the Whole Hog, but doing so with the Hog in Armour. We beg most earnestly to call the attention of members of Parliament and those of our public men who do not delight in fostering the enormities of our " domestic institutions," by getting rich at the expense of the life and blood of our poor women and children in the factories. Aye ! those bleaching factories, where the helpless sufferers are themselves bleached as white as their smocks. " Get money honestly if you can, but get money." That is the humane injunction of our boasted manufacturers in several parts of this kingdom where men boast of freedom, and yet practice such slavery as would almost shock the sensibility of a Yankee nigger driver. Verilywe live in strange times,professin g humanity to the top of our bent, and practising its counterpart to the utmost depths of the most abominable depravity. We spend thousands a year for fac tory inspectors and other officials in order to keep a sharp eye on the working of those nurseries of hu man misery, and yet the game goes on as ever. Surely ! surely there must be an end of this brutal system ere long, or this Country will have much to answer for. We again point the attention of those " born of woman" to see to the std fate of the poor little children who once had mothers, but who now have neither fathers nor mothers to help them in their sad condition. The public is much, very much indebted to Mr. HOPLEY, of Eastbourne, for his unceasing labours in the cause of Wrongs which cry for Redress. LATEST NE AV 8. The following telegrams have been received al Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, TUESDAY. A circular of M. Billault says :—The time has arrived to put an end to the attempts at agitation on the Roman question. M. Billault instructs the prefects to prohibit according to law the distribu tion of writings and pamphlets unless duly autho rised, and to report to the Council of State when ever the liberty of the pulpit is abused. He re commends them to combine moderation with firm ness, as the Emperor desires peace and liberty for religion. VIENNA FEB, 2L The official Wiener Zeituny of to-day contains an Imperial decree by which the right of buying and possessing landed property is conceded to the Jews of Lower Austria, Moravia, Silesia, Hungary, Vorfwodina, and the Banat, Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia, and the Littoral districts. However, the Jews in Galicia, Bokowina, and Cracow may acquire and retain real property on condition only ahaving received their education in one of the public colleges, or of having the rank of an officer in the army. NAPLES (via GENOA), FEB. 14. The Minister of Justice, Signor Galotti, is dead. He has been replaced by Signor Rosica. It is stated that Signor Ajassa will be entrusted with the portfolio of the Interior. Thirty thousand scudi have been sent to the Com missary of War, Signor Morelli, at Trieste, to con tinue the enlistments of Austrian volunteers for the military service of Naples. Two hundred sub-officers and soldiers arrived at Pianella. The persons lately arrested for political causes have been sent to the Isles of Favignana and Pan tellaria ; others have been sent to the Castle of St. Elme.

RAVENNA, FEB. 19. The Governor Parini has been recei,ed with great enthusiasm at Ravenna,. The inhabitants of the towns and of the country came to meet him. The National Guard was drawn up. The town was illuminated. There was a grand ball at the Govern ment Palace. DEATH OF M. DRUMMOND, M.P.—We regret to state that the re p ort o f M r. D rummon d' s death, which we we re ena b led to contradict in our yester• day's impression, was only premature. Mr. Drum mond died on Sunday night, at his seat, Albury, near Guildford. Mr. H. Drummond was born in 1786, and married, in 1807, Lady Henrietta, eldest daughter of the 9th Earl of Kinnoul, who died in 1854. He had sat for West Surrey since 1847.

The fight with the " Kabyl Kheyl" Wuzetrs, by s the force sent out to avenge the murder of Captain Mecham, has, according to Lahore Chronicle, had a salutary effect. The tribes against which the ex pedition was undertaken now sue for mercy, and are using their best endeavours to capture the mur derers, whose act has brought ruin on all connected with them. Every village of this tribe (with but st one exception) has furnished its quota of men for st n the pursuit of Zunge e ( the robber chief) and of the gt murderers. The one recusant village, which failed to join in the pursuit, has already been punished. On the 18th December a detachment under st the command of Major Rothney proceeded against St it. In the skirmish which ensued the enemy s lost eight men killed. Our party captured 300 s head of cattle on this occasion. Our loss was but s ' one man wounded . The : force is described as s marching unmolested through kills hitherto be lieved to be un assailable. Subsequent reports, re - St; ceived by the same journal, mention a disposition st on the part of the hill tribes to fraternise with the Wuzeroes, who received severe chastisement from st Brigadier Chamber lain's column. It is also stated St that several European regiments will move up to st Peshawur to strengthen our position in that quarter. St 01) DE. There is little or no news of importance from the St, frontiers of Oude. The campaign against the rebels is at an end, and detachments from all points are r eturning to their head - quarters. Our last advices rt stated that the Nana, who had disguised himself as a religious mendicant, was being looked after. The Delhi Gazette now learns that Government have received information regarding his movements, and t that several leading characters are still in the hills north-west of Khyreegurh.

The following is from the Bombay Times and Standard of that date : The only matters of any interest in India to-day are the progress of the Viceroy, the preparation of the force for China, and the submergence of the tele graphic wire between Kurrachee and Aden, of which, perhaps, the last is the most important. At eight a.m. on the morning of the 13th inst., at Kurrachee, the shore end of the cable was lowered from the steamer Imperador into the boats. A hawser was attached to it, and abont 60 bluejackets from her Majesty's steamer Retribution having pre viously landed on the beach at Manora, hauled it on shore. The end of the cable touched the land at 8.29 a.m. Mr. Newell landed at nine a.m., and proceeded to superintend the joining of this end to the cable, which had been previously laid down from the telegraph station to the beach. The whole was then placed in the ditch, which had been exca vated under the superintendence of Mr. Forde, the engineer on the part of the Red Sea Telegraph Com pany, and which was now filled in. The guests who had been invited on board to witness the com mencement of this gigantic undertaking, yere im mediately on the tiptoe of anxiety for the word" go ahead." But a great deal had to be done, the electricians were to test the cable throughout its length. This occupied fully three-and-a-half hours, and the cable was at length declared by Capt. Meyer, perfect in all its parts. The word was then given to prepare for the start. Signal guns were fired by the Imperador, which were replied to by the Imperatriz. The three anchors of the for mer were got in or shipped, and at four minutes past 12 o'clock the noble vessel started, and the commencement of the paying out of the cable an nounced the birth of one of the most momentous of Indian enterprises, the first fashioning of the artery to and from the heart of old England. All the arrangements on board had been made under Mr. Newell's own eye, and tho start was most success ful—not a mishap nor hitch occurred. The vessel wont on its way as if she were on a simple pleasure trip. The Retribution started soon after the Im perador, and took the lead, as she is to be the di recting ship. On the evening of the 17th inst. the gratifying intelligence was received in Bombay, that the cable had been successfully laid as far as Muscat, the following telegram from Commodore Edgill to Lord Elphinstone being made public the next morning : " From Muscat to Bombay. " From Commodore Edgill to the Governor. "Please inform the Governor of Madras and the Presi dent of the Council of India, from me, that the cable to Muse.At has been most successfully laid." We are now waiting somewhat impatiently news of the completion of the work, and can hardly account for the delay in its arrival, not being will ing to believe that any accident can have frustrated the enterprise when so nearly accomplished. ORCES FOR CIIINA. The force for China is now ,being rapidly orga nised, and will soon be embarking. It is to consist, as far as at present known, of the following corps — FROM BENGAL.

During the last few days business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets has been very inac tive. Tea has been dull, but has continued at former rates. In sugar tho transactions have been for im mediate requirements, on about former terms ; and coffee has been in fair demand, and brought full rates. In rice, spices, and fruit no dealings of importance have been recorded. Saltpetre has been inactive and tallow dull, prices for both present and forward delivery baying slightly declined. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices continued firm. The sales were I estimated at 7,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market business continued rather quiet, but quota tions tended upwards. Notwithstanding the delayed arrivals of gold ' 3l ships from Australia, and the limited quantities of St specie received from the United States, the drain st from the bullion department of the Bank of Eng- St, land has not been resumed, and there is some pro- st bability, if the exchanges become more favourable, I t : of a fresh accumulation before many weeks have It elapsed. This circumstance, coupled with the quieter st, appearance of the discount market, shows that a 1 * reactionary movement has commenced in monetary si affairs, and it would not excite surprise if the Bank authorities, at an early day, should be enabled to lower their minimum quotation from the elevated point to which it was forced by an unusual demand for gold. First class bills can now be negotiated I per cent. under the official rate, and at the Stock si Exchange loans are freely granted on very easy terms. 2 There is very little alteration in the market for Public Securities, but prices have remained toler ably firm, owing the demand for investments and the improved tendency of monetary affairs. The debate in the House of Commons has not produced any material effect, Consols being 941 t for money, and at 941 for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced have improved to 951; India New Loan is steady at 103 a i ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firmer at 98, ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 1031, and Bank Stock at 230 and 231 ; Exchequer Bills have advanced to 245. and 275. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 79 to 791 ; ditto New, 66 to 661; Mexi can is steady at 211 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. have improved to 1021 ; ditto 41 per Cents., to 94 ; Sar dinian, to 851 ; and Spanish 3 per Cents., to 451. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21, prem. ; Universal ditto,* I prem.; the London and Provincial ditto,l s prem. ; and the Canadian Loan is 2 prem. In the Railway Share Market a moderate amount of business has been transacted, and in most in stances there has been a slight improvement. Eastern Counties, Great Western, Brighton, South- Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Mid land, and South-Eastern have improved ss. ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; and Blackwell and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 15s. The foreign lines have been very inactive. Great Luxembourg have advanced to 7, and Sambre and Meuse Preference Shares 9. In the Colonial Market there was not much variation. East Indian were steady, at 1011 1011 ; Great Indian Peninsula,. at 981 99•; and Grand Trunk of Canada, 351.

Yesterday morning a terrible accident, resulting in the loss of three lives, and serious if not fatal in jury to a number of persons, occurred at the Tot tenham station of the Eastern Counties Railway. A fast train left Cambridge, as usual, at 7 o'clock It consisted, besides engine, tender, and break van, of first and second class carriages only, they being well filled. Having called at the various interme diate stations between Cambridge and Ponder's end, the train arrived at the latter place as near as possible at its proper time, 9.10. Leaving that station, the train aped upon its way, and not having to stop again until it reached Stratford, was in near ing the Tottenham station at about 10.20, proceed ing at the rate of between 35 and 40 miles an hour. At this period the surviving passengers affirm the train began to oscillate in a peculiar manner, and almost immediately a loud crash was heard, fol lowed by shrieks and groans. The greatest con sternation prevailed ; and, as soon as the train had come to a stand-still the uninjured passengers rushed from their carriages. A shocking scene presented itself: the engine, tender, and some of the carriages were heaped upon each other, while the most piteous groans emanated from the almost indescribable mass of ruins, and the steam from the engine enveloped everything in a dense mist. Of coarse, as soon as possible every assistance was rendered, and the dead and wounded were taken from the debris. This occupied a long period ; for the carriages had to be broken into fragments before the desired object could in some cases be accomplished. Several of the injured were conveyed into the waiting rooms at the station, while others were placed upon ladders, boards, &c., and carried to the neighbouring taverns. Tho engine-driver—a middle-aged man, named Rowell —was dug from the ruins terribly scalded and otherwise injured, and placed in the waiting room. He could not speak ; and, although up to last even ing he still breathed, no hope was entertained that he would survive the night. The fireman—a young man named Barber (as we understood)—was smashed to pieces ; and, upon being recovered, his body was taken to a room at the back of the station, to await the coroner's inquest. All the passengers in the broken carriages were necessarily more or less seriously injured. Mr. Stokes, said to be a miller, from Saffron Walden, was taken from the fragments of a first-class car riage and conveyed to the White Hart Inn. He was in an insensible state, and never rallied, dying apparently without much agony. Mr. Satchell, hatter, of Fenchurch-street, City (who some time ago lost his wife and child by fire), was also con veyed to the White Hart, where, from the dreadful nature of his injuries, he also expired, although every possible medical assistance was rendered. Besides the above cases which have terminated fatally,there are others which occasion much anxiety. Professor Elliott, of King's College, Cambridge, sustained a severe fracture of the leg and other in juries. He was attended by the medical men on the spot until about the middle of the day, when, under the care of Mr. Woolston, surgeon, of Tottenham, he was taken home in an invalid carriate. Mr. Taylor, of Bishops Stortford, who had been very badly injured in the knee and other parts of the body, was also sent home, accompanied by a sur geon. Others still remain at Tottenham. Amongst them is Mr. Hotckin, solicitor, who has both legs broken. Mr. Mauston, a miller, of Hoddesdon, lies at the Ship Tavern dreadfully injured, and yester day afternoon underwent amputation of a leg. Mr. Garrett, also a miller, of Hoddesdon, has a thigh broken in two places, and he has sustained serious internal injuries. The other most serious case known up to the present time is that of Mr. Bean, of Parn don ; but it is supposed there are about five very bad cases besides those above enumerated, the in jured parties having been removed shortly after the accident. Mr. I. B. Owen, the secretary of the company, has forwarded to us the following report of the ac cedent made by Mr. R. Sinclair, the engineer of the company, to the board of directors : "As I happened to be air eye-witness of the lamentable accident which occurred this morning at the Tottenham station, I think it right to inform you briefly of what fell under nty own observation. I was in the waiting room of the station, having just had a few words of conversation with the station-master about the Enfield up-train, and was coming on to the platform on hearing a train approach, when I heard an exclamation from the station people, and on looking towards the approaching train, which, I should think, was running at about its usual speed, I distinctly observed a bright-sided carriage rolling towards the up side of the line. I noticed also that the engine was off the line towards the up side. On reaching the platform the engine struck it and completely turned over, the tender flying clean over it. The carriage or van next to the tender was thrown against the engine, and I saw the roof of it broken off. The next carriage was thrown through the plat form wall on the up side; the next carriage was off the line and upright, and the rest of the train was on the rails. I should mention t hat in turning over the w a t er and steam. were discharged from the boiler, and a cloud o f steam en veloped the debris as soon as I had noticed what I have de scribed. On running alon g the p l atform I saw andheardthe station-master giving orders to one of his men to put on both the up and down signals, to stop trains in both direc tions ; and this I think it right to mention in justice to the station-master, because Rome gentleman mentioned to me that he did not think this had been done ad l a Ihat I have 7de scribed occurred almost momenta r il y , beforeas unable reached nahle t the site of the accident. For some littl e I o render personal assistance, but I went to each carriage, and saw that, by the kind exertions of the uninjured passengers and the assistance of the station l people, the wounded earpepbaerienngtlgyotou saw seven persons in all, fireman, evidently dead, lying passe ng ers helpl ess a were geaccident,seriously hu r t I ; 0 theb sobserved ved t unfortunatehatth rho look ing about for the cause ofth t. under the engine.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—Prostration of Strength.—The old and delicate always feel the sudden transitions from cold to heat, and fearfully they tell u p In them unless preventive measures be adopted to counterac them. Nothing effects this object so certainly and o speedily as Holloway's Pills, which begin by strengthening the stomach, regulating the liver, and purifying the bl oo d, and end in working a co m p lete, lasting, and rapid cure. These admirable Pills exercise a most salutary influence over every organ in the human body. They dispel ner vousness, weariness, and enervation. In a word, Iloilo way', Pills wonderfully restore every function to its natural state of health and vigour. They never fail ; directly or indirectly they adjust aucl invigorate the whole animal economy Mr. Gladstone has addressed the following letter to " The Committee of Importers and others, Mincing-lane" ... Downing-street, Feb. 21. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge your .etter of the 17th. I must beg you not to construe the present communica iou as the answer of the Government to your represents ;ion. It is intended only to narrow any apparent ground of difference between us, and to suggest the ground of proceed ing most convenient with a view to the progress of public business. Your letter . v•efers to that portion only of the financial proposals of tho Government which is intended to meet, by compensating charges upon trade and exchange in one form or other, a share of the loss anticipated from the approach ing remission s of duty. You c=ino ent more or less adversely upon the Penny Registration Due, upon the charges for removals and opera tions in wfveehouse, upon the stamp proposed for Dock Warrants and for Contract Notes ; and besides, you ob serve that any tax meant for revenue should be imposed, not upon. traders as a class, but upon the community. I distinguish carefully between your particular and your more ~, ,e noral objection. And with respect to the latter, I respectfully ask you to consider whether the financial scheme of the Government, viewed for one moment as a whole, is really open to the charge of relieving the commu nity at the expense of traders as a class ; and whether, on the contrary, the head and front of the attacks upon it be not this, that it too greatly relieves trade, and therefore re lieves traders also in a primary and special sense, and this by means of a tax to be imposed on the community. It is with reluctance that her Majesty's Government re commend to Parliament any new charges upon trade in any form. But the case is a very simple one. They found that in order to give the requisite breadth to their scheme, and secure some of its main ends, it was necessary to give a re lief from present taxes amounting to nearly four millions for the year 1860-1, and to nearly five millions if we include the residue to take effect in 1861-2. They found that they might obtain this great relief, and along with it largely re duce establishments and patronage, and effect collaterally great administrative reforms, at a charge of something over three millions to the revenue of the coming year. They did not conceive that they could ask for more than about £2,100,000 from that revenue, with the present high scale of expenditure, even for the great purposes which they have had in view. It is, therefore, no wanton infliction which they suggest ; but they are desirous to arrange, with your assistance and that of others who are well -informed, a bene ficial commutation. They rely with confidence on your willingness to venture something for the public good. They wish carefully to consider with you how to keep the pecuniary demand within bounds, and, above all, how to I prevent creating new obstructions in tho course of trade where their main object is, wherever possible, to destroy old ones. I now pass to your comments upon details. Most or all of the resolutions on which you comment may require to be modified, but you will agree with me that definitive modi cation had better bo reserved until it can express the final intentions of the Government. Nor will you be surprised or offended when I tell you that, as the Minister most directly responsible, I am reluc tant to ask my colleagues to give the subject their final con sideration, until I am myself able to pay a less divided attention to the details than will be possible until the House of Commons shall have dealt with the larger and more vital questions involved in the scheme for remission of duties. I may, however, give you certain limited assurances, on which you may rely apart from anything that the neces sarily technical language of the resolutions may appear to suggest. With respect to the Penny Registration Due, its basis is this. We have (I trust) arrived at a stage in our legisla tionwhen the whole pressure of Customs' Duties will cease to be felt beyond a very narrow list of articles, and when the largest share, possibly four-fifths or more, of the entire Import and Export Trade of the country, thus absolutely relieved, will continue to receive important services frost Customs' establishments that (including superannuation') cost the country above a million a year. The Registration Due is intended, without affecting the operations of trade as duties do, to make a moderate contribution from trade itself towards this heavy charge. The requisite classifica tion is of necessity, but inadequately, expressed in the re solution. lam satisfied that it will not ,be difficult, and that the measure is in principle generally admitted and ap proved. Tho warehousing charges aim at the same ; and like wise at establishing a greater equality between certain classes of places, with regard to warehousing advantages, than now exists. I admit that many of them are too high. I further admit that it may bo open to consider ation whether, in respect to some of them, at least, and especially in regard to removals, a different form of proceeding may be preferable. A meet re spectable deputation from Liverpool, has urged that all dealers in bonded goods should be required to take out an annual license ; and the Government are desirous to obtain the opinion of the commercial world upon this suggested alternative. With respect to Dock Warrants and to Contract Notes I refer to what I have already said respecting the proper time for definitive explanation or improvement. I beg, however, to assure you that the former are not intended to be liable to those frequent repetitions of the charge imposed which has been apprehended ; and, in regard to the latter, that it is not, and never has been, the intention of Government to ask for a tax even of one penny upon bills of parcels, or upon anything that essentially belongs to that class, inas much as the transactions to whish they relate are already regulated, and when they exceed forty shillings, taxed by law. Should the faithful application of this pledge be found to diminish the estimated fruits of the stamp, it will neverthe less, be redeemed. After giving your obliging consideration to this letter you may perhaps be enabled to draw into more speciil° forms any suggestions it may be agreeable to you to make. I shall be most ready to communicate with you, both in writing and personally, at the proper time ; and it is for the g eneral convenience, rather than that of the Government, f I venture to recommend that by mutual communication the classes best informed and most directly concerned should as far as possible represent to us on behalf of London and other places their collective wishes and opinions. As this letter appertains wholly to matters of general in terest, I make no apology for sending it at once for publica tion ; and I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, with much respect, your very faithful servant, W. E. GLADSTONE. IV.RONGS WHICH CRY FOR REDRESS. " We only wish," writes the editor of a leading London periodical, " that every member of the House of Commons could study the following before the second reading of Mr. Crook's Bill for the Pro tection of Women and Children employed in Bleach Works, &c. :— Ann Simpson (fourteen years old), Elizabeth Hil ton (fifteen), Sarah Higson (sixteen).—" We came to work last Friday morning at half-past six (at Mr. Ridgway Bridson s bleach-works, Bolton). S't's worked all Friday night till half-past five on Satur day morning (23 hours). We did not sleep any time in the night, except on Saturday m orning at half-past five we laid down on the hooking-box, and slept till a little after seven' (less than two hours' sleep—and with the clothes still on—after tweaty-three hours' work) ; then we went to breakfast for half-an-hour, and then came and worked till ten minutes past eleven.'—(Report of the Commissioner appointed to inquire how far it may be advisable to extend the Provisions of the Acts for the better Regulation of Mills and Factories to Bleaching Works, p. 25, No. 23G.)

Amelia Wood (fifteen next July)—" I have been at this work about three years.

Samuel Price, examined : Mr. Butt—How did you awaken them (alluding to the little children of Mr. Ainsworth's establish meat near Bolton, when they fell asleep " stand ing at their work ") ?—Many a time by shouting , and at other times getting a board and rapping it on the table, making a loud report that used to startle them, and I could keep them awake then for an hour, or more than that, perhaps, by frightening them.—lbid., pp. 88, 89, Nos. 1849, 1862.
