As an elocutionary display, Mr. GLADSTONE'S Financial Statement last e ven i ng was undoubtedly , a brilliant success. It was listened to, as usual, by a crowded house without surprise —for the appre ciation of Mr. GLADSTONE'S consummate abilities as a Parliamentary rhetorician dates not from yes terday—but it was listened to throughout, as a lucid exposition of a most complex and elaborate scheme, with far more than ordinary admiration. The Opposition itself did net for an instant attempt to withhold the generous applause extorted from all sides and from all parties alike by a physical and intellectual feat in every way so remarkable in its accomplishment. One marvelled hardly less at the silver and bell-like clearness of that noble voice, but just now restored in the very nick of time by Dr. FERGUSSON'S magical medical skill from a week's catar'h and a week's hoarseness !—one mar velled, we say, hardly less at the musical resonance of that almost miraculously restored organ during nearly four hours' sonorously-sustained declama tion—than at the perfect mastery of that in tricate and comprehensive series of fiscal and financial innovations displayed within the ample grasp of a statesmanlike genius by our gifted Chancellor of the Exchequer. Recollecting, however, the very magnitude and the really vital importance of the numerous pro jects submitted to the House last evening by our English Minister of Finance, it was certainly not unreasonable that Mr. DISRAELI should at once deprecate the notion of taking these wonderfully elaborated plans into anything like precipitate eon sideration. It is not simply that the House of Commons has to decide upon the rejection or ac ceptance, or modification of an ordinary Budget. It has to weigh in the balance of its judgment one of the most extraordinary Budgets in every way ever submitted to the scrutinythe of popular branch of the legislature. A n d it has to consider impartially at the same time one of the most surprising com mercial treatises ever negotiated. The Bud g et and the Treaty--there can to be no h es i ta ti on at least in arriving, forthwith, at this one conclusion—the Treaty and t lac Budget, the Olive Branch and the Price of it, a re inextricably Dove-tailed together. Accept the o le, and you must p:;rforce accept the either. T wer y-four hours have not nearly, as yet, elapsed, at tht., time at which we are now writing, since the Treat -was laid upon the table by Lord Juttx, and sir. Ice both Treaty and Budget were simultaneously explained to the House of Commons by the Chancel. lor of the Exchequer. An interval of _Um days, it has been decided, shall elapse before these subjects shall become in that hou th e themes of delib erate discussion. :DI tring that period every one who cares to. do ,Sc I, w hether within the House or wit t hout of the I louse, will have had ample opi or tamity for ;dub; ,ecting Mr. GLADSTONE'S schemes and caleulal CiOD ,O, in an adequate degree, to an im- partial and searching examination. It is certainly 1 what they demand at the hands of every patriot Englishman. And as to the necessity of scruti nising thus the financial situation of the country, as it has now been displayed to the national gaze by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is only too painfully demonstrated by the following tables (for 1860.61) of our estimated charges and expenditure. The estimated charges being, for the ensuing twelvemonth : Funded and unfunded debt Charges on the Consolidated Fund Army and Militia,including the China Expedition Navy and Packet Service Miscellaneous Civil Service Revenue Departments £26,200,000 2,000,000 15,800,000 13,900,000 7,500,000 4,700,000 Total • £70,100,000 The estimated income being, also for the ensuing twelvemonth : _ _ Customs Excise Stamps Taxes Income-tax Post-office Crown Lands Miscellaneous Total £22,700,000 19,170,000 8,000,000 3,250,000 2,400,000 3,400,000 280,000 1,500,000 £60,700,000 Shewing, consequently, at a glance, an excess of expenditure over income of exactly £9,400,000 a positive deficit of Ten Millions sterling for one year, in the Exchequer. To fill up this enormous gap, Mr. GLADSTONE proposes his elaborate scheme of yesterday. The precise nature, tendency and character of this remarkable Budget will be found succinctly given in the epitome subjoined to these remarks of our own, a singularly able epitome, extracted by us from the columns of a morning contemporary. It is especi ally worthy of notice, however, at once, that the commercial treaty with France, so far from tending in any way to diminish the sum total of the deficit, will, on the contrary, do exactly the very reverse. It is simply a concession or peace-offering to France—at any rate, it is wholly and entirely so during the next eighteen months. It is a treaty during that interval wholly in favour of French finance—yet one concluded in the name of Recipro city ! It is a Treaty entered into for the purpose of forwarding the principles of Free-trade by the very surprising medium of a series of large conci liatory arrangements in favour of the French Pro tectionists ! In reality, this so-called reciprocal treaty of commerce is so entirely one-sided that it literally amounts to a peace-offering to France, the fabrication of which must cost England an additional £1,000,000. At the very time, moreover, when our warlike expenditure amounts to close upon £30,000,000. A commercial treaty like this cer tainly comes to us as a dubious boon, all the more unwelcome in the manner of its coming when we find our Foreign Secretary last night vouchsafing such an answer as the following to the inquiry of an hon. member who asked whether in the event of Parlialiament not thinking it right to confirm this treatythe friendly relations between the two Govern ments would be in any way endangered? What was the response of Lord JOHN RUSSELL ? Why it was actually thus sinister and signi significant! "As to whether the rejection of the treaty would produce any disturbance of our friendly relations, why, the lion. gentleman and ever✓ other member of this Reuse are quite as capable of form ing an opinion as we are. That any threat or inti mation of that kind has been made is utterly un true. [Surely a rather superfluous intimation ! The next sentence, however, fills us with unmitti gated astonishment, as addressed by Lord lonN RUSSELL to the British House of Commons ?] But as to what effect any speeches in this House against France, followed by the rejection of the treaty, might have, the hon. member must judge for himself ! " That the House of Commons is not only meekly to accept any treaty like this, through fear of endan gering any alliance likely to be jeopardized by the contingency of its rejection but that in its acceptance the perfect freedom of debate is in any way for one instant to be deprecated— cannot but be regarded as a proposition worthy only of the scorn of the House of Commons, and one calculated to excite resentment at the mere utterance of it, in the heart of every trueborn Englishman. Viewing the alternative of the ac• ceptance or rejection of the Treaty under the influ ence of such paltry finesse and petty truckling— one can only remember, with a glow of patriotic ardour, the words of our Poet Laureate, ALFRED TENNYSON, upon a like contingency, in respect to a kindred alternative— "Is it peace or ever BETTER WAR! LOUD WAR !BY LAND AND BY SEI, WAR WITH A THOUSAND BATTLES, AND SHAKING A HUNDRED THRONES !" As to the heart of the labyrinth of the Budget threaded yesterday with such adroit and familiar footsteps by Mr. GLADSTONE—there is the one grand secret evil enshrined in the very centre of it— The Income Tax of TENPENCE ! Modify, how ever, the manner of its being levied, and the scale upon which it is apportioned among the larger and smaller incomes, and even that bitter bolus may be swallowed, if the gulping of it is followed by a quid pro quo in the way of national compensation. Upon this tenpence, however, we have the next ten days during which to reflect with all impartial delibera tion. Our candid judgment has that most acceptable interval during which to scrutinise conscientiously and searchingly this and all the other integral por tions of the two great interwoven projects of Treaty and Budget, laid yesterday before the councils of the nation by the wizard eloquence of Mr. GLAD STONE. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, at a few mo ments before five o'clock, rose, and was received with cordial cheering from all parts of the house. He commenced by alluding to the fact that in the present year a sum of two millions and a half of the interest of the national debt was about to lapse ; the war duty on tea and sugar and the income tax also were about to cease. These circumstances, coupled with the commercial treaty with France, had compelled the Government to adopt the unusual course of causing the financial statement to precede the estimates of the year. The receipts of the year were as follows :—Customs, 24,750,0001.; excise, 19,724,000/. ; stamps, 8,000,000/. ; land and assessed taxes, 3,200,0001.; income tax, 9,894,0001.; post-office, 3,250,0001. ; crown lands, 280,000/. ; miscellaneous, 1,408,0001. The expenditure had been—interest on debt, 28,638,000/. ; army, 13,550,000/. ; navy, 12,630,000/. ; civil service, 7,700,000/. ; revenue de partments, 4,475,000/., which, with the miscellaneous charges, reached a sum of 68,953,0001., which would, under ordinary circumstances' have left a surplus of 1,625,0001. But there had been additional charges, arising out of the expedition to China, in the army of 900,0001., and the navy 270,0001. Then came the effect of the treaty with France, for which there was to be deducted from the customs 640,0001. The total was 1,800,0001, which would have placed the revenue on the wrong side of the account, but in a happy moment Spain had paid a debt of 500,000/., of which 25 0 , 000 /. w ould be available at once, and so that a small surplus would still be left on the total revenue. The estimated charge for the interest of debt in the coming year was 26,200,000/., leaving 2,438,0001., or more than the annuities which were about to lapse. a and the The Crrohnesoalirdma3t,e,dmiyiutind, charges would be 2,000,000/. charge for China would be 15,800 0 ,000/ro h ~ thetentaveyr and packet service, 13,900,0001., 0 29,700,0001., by an increase of more than three mil lions. The miscellaneous estimates were 3,500,000 1 .; the revenue department, 4,700,000/. ; the total being 70,100,0001. With respect to the increase of the military expenditure, he would leave it to the ministers for the two departments to explain the circumstances. The estimate of the income for the year in perspective, taking the imports as the -- now stood, was :—Customs, 22,700,000/. ; excisi 19,170,000/. ; stamps, 8,000,0001; taxes, 3,250,000/4 income tax, 3,200,000/. ; with the post-office the total being 00,700,000/. ; being a deficit of 9,400,0001., and this, without any prevision for 1,000,00 W. coming due on Exchequer Bonds. Supposing that the existing war duties on tea and sugar were retained, the deficit would still be 7,300,0001. That would require an income tax of 9 1 in the pound, there being no remission of taxa tion in the trade and commerce of the country ; but the 9,400,000/. would require an income tax of e l o s m . i e n o t t h t e h p e o c u a n l d c a l t i t o n n l s i6 o ).h f t lB h s e 3 a p s His n h s a N t v h e r a d w b a e s - , that in that year it was reckoned there would be gained by linbtytae a sumxeslil of 5 teiimr s V o b o e i t . :Neen that and the present which was about the sum which the income tax would have reached at sd, in the round in this year.

THE SUN, LONDON,v 3 SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY n, IP6O. duty had failed to produce what was expected. All surpluses in different years, by the interven tion of war, had been stopped. and besides there was the charge for additional debt incurred by the Russian war, which amounted to 2,920,0001. The alteration in the spirit duties, however, had added 2,000,0001. to the revenue ; and the revenue gene rally had been so increased that if the expenditure had not rapidly increased, the amount calculated in 1853 would have been realised. The answer was, in short, increased expenditure. The right honourable gentleman then compared the wealth of the country in 1842, and in 1853, with that in 1857-58 and 1859-60. In 1842 the annual income of the country was 154,000,000/. ; in 1853, 172,000,0001. ; in 1857-58, 191,000,000/. ; and in 1859-60, 200,000,0001., the increase having occurred in every class in the country, and in the agricultural class the most of all. In 1842 the gross expendi ture of the country wes 68,500,0001. ; in 1853 it was 71,500,000/. ; in 1859-60 it was 87,697,0001., these totals including the local expenditure as well as that of the state properly so called, showing a gradual and large increase. The comparative growth of wealth and expenditure was therefore wholly un equal, and it showed the course which the coun try was pursuing—a course with which he was far from satisfied. There was a deficit of 9,400,000/. to be met. No radical change could be made in the expenditure of the year. It was, he urged, the duty of the government to take further steps in the direction of relieving trade and commerce from imposts in pursuance of the principles of free trade, notwithstanding the unequal state of revenue and expenditure which existed. The right hon. gen tleman then entered into calculations to show that remission of taxation had been accompanied by increase of revenue, consequent on the increase of trade and commerce. Ho did not propose to touch the taxes on tea or sugar, and they would be renewed as they now stood for one year. As to the treaty with France, that country was to reduce the duties on coal and iron in 1860; on yarn, flax, and hemp early in 1861. On the Ist October, 1861, the duties would be reduced or prohibition removed from all British articles, so that no duty should be higher than 30 per cent. ad valorem, all the staple maufactures of Great Britain being included. In three years afterwards the maximum duty was to be 25 per cent. ad valorem. On her part England engaged immediately and totally to abolish all duty on all manufactured goods from France, to re duce the duty on brandy to Bs. 2d. a gallon, on foreign wine (not merely French) to 3s. per gallon, and in 1861 still further, in reference to the strength of the wine—the lowest duty being ls. per gallon. The charge on French articles chargeable with ex cise duty in England to be the same as the English duty. The treaty was to be in force for ten years. He denied that this treaty indicated any subser viency to France, and in glowing language called on the two countries to inaugurate a new epoch of amity, as distinguished from former jealousy and ill feeling—a union of the two nations, not merely of the two Governments. The reduction of duty on wine would cause a loss in revenue of 515,000/. ; on brandy, of 225,000/. ; on manufactured goods, of 440,0001.; making a total of 1,190,0001. As to the objection, that these were revenue duties, and did not relieve the poor man, not one of them was a revenue duty, but they were all protective duties. The right. hon. gentleman quoted statistics to illus trate an argument to the effect that it was desirable to make such a bargain with France as would allow of the interchange of manufactures and commodities, which was already important, and which must largely increase when France was induced to break down her prohibitory system. What had been done would have been good for this country if France had done nothing ; it was better for us in proportion as France did something. (This reasoning was received with great approbation from gentlemen behind the right hon. gentleman.) One result of the high duty on French brandy was the manufacture of an unhappy production in the shape of a spirit called British brandy. As to wine, it was said to be the rich man's luxury, and tea the poor man's luxury; but in 1760 tea was the rich man's luxury, and sold at 20s. a pound ; and by reducing the duty you might make wine the poor man's luxury. In fact the existing duties were not merely protective but prohibitory, and there was a pressure with regard to that article which, apart from any treaty with France,would compel a dealing with the wine duties. The consumption of foreign wines in this country had greatly increased, by at least 168,000 gallons in the last year, and concurrent with that there had been a large consumption of colonial wines and even of British wines. This showed a great demand for wine, and there was reason to believe that a greater production of wines fitted for the English market and the middle and lower middle classes of this country could be effected. The idea that under no possible circumstances could Englishmen like French wines ought to be exploded, their being, in fact, a great taste in England for those wines, but which l was stifled by prohibitory duties, which generated a mass of evils in the shape of fraud and adulteration. The alteration in the tariff with France would tend greatly to facilitate personal intercourse with the Continent. The right hon. gentleman eulogised the Emperor of the French for bringing about a great measure of free trade, and paid a still more glowing and earnest compliment to Mr. Cobden. (This was received with cheers from both sides of the house.) It was proposed to reduce other customs duties to the extent of 910,1001., but to supply that sum by other impositions on trade. The duties to be abo lished were those on butter, tallow, cheese, oranges and lemons, oggs, &c., which amounted to 380,0001. a-year. There were to be reductions of duties on timber from ls. and 25., on currants to 7s. a cwt. raisins to 75., figs to 75., and hops from 455. to 145., making 668,0001.—the total reduction being 1,039,0001. The revenue, to compensate for this loss, would be sought in an extension of penny trxation, and there would be levied on all packages of imported articles a tax of oneipenny each, which would produce 300,0001. a-year. Moderate charges were to be laid oa operations in the system of warehousing, a process which would simplify the system of inland bonding. This would produce 120,0001. Then there would be a duty of 6s. a cwt. on chicory, yielding 90,0001. There would be penny stamps and 3d. stamps on certain trade documents : eating-houses, including pastry cooks, would be allowed licenses to sell wine or beer. The duty on game certificates would be altered to a sliding-scale according to time, going down to £l. (This item created some sensation among the country gentlemen.) Among other things touched were agreements for leases, an I some legal documents, and a stamp would be imposed on extracts from registry of births, deaths, &c. There would be a saving of expense in the customs and inland revenue departments. Altogether 982,0001. would be restored to the general revenue. The loss to the revenue would be 2,146,0001. by the French treaty and reductions of duties. Of this, half was redeemed by the above imposts. He then proceeded to say that he was about to propose the abolition of the Excise duty on paper. (This announcement was received with marked attention, and apparently some surprise.) The duty had been condemned by the House of Commons, and it was besides a bad and untenable duty. The capability of expansion of the free trade in paper was immense. The duty would be abolished from Ist July this year. It was proposed to abolish the impressed stamp on news papers. These were all the remissions it was pro posed to make. As to hops ; the system of hop-cre dits would be altered. It was proposed to remove the prohibition on malt, and to fix a duty on it of 3s. a bushel. The alterations and reductions he had proposed would give a total relief to the consumer of 3,931,0001., and cause a net lass to the revenue of 2,108,0001., or about equivalent to the amount fhlling in from the cessation of government annui ties this year. The number of articles which would remain on the Customs tariff would be 48, and next year 44 ; spirits, tea, tobacco, sugar, wine, coffee, corn, currants, and timber being the principal, and only 15 of the whole being retained for purposes of revenue. He expected to obtain 1,400,000/. by taking up the malt and hop duties within the year. It was impossible to escape the income tax. In order to supply the remainder of the de ficit of 9,400,000/., that tax would be renewed at a rate of 10d. in the pound on incomes above 1501. a year, at id. below that sum ; the tax to be taken for one year only, three-quarters of the year's rate suet o be u nl of s collected 37 within 2,0001. th e antt year ,this N N v v o h u ie w ldh bring ul d t give h e re l! venue up to the expenditure, or 70,100,0001., and leave a surplus of 400,0001. The right hon. gentle man concluded with an appeal to the house to sup poi t the principle of commercialreforms—for which the country had already received so much honour and reward in scattering blessing among the people of this country—and which he contended were enu merated and carried out in his financial plan. lie sat down at ten minutes to nine o'clock amidst loud cheering. e, In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday a mo derate amount of business was transacted, and prices were steady.

The alterations in the duties proposed in the Budget have formed the principal subject of eon versation in the City to-day, and in the meantime business has been almost suspended. Some days must necessarily elapse before the effect of the statement can be fairly ascertained, 'MTH D EDITION. BUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. ITALY.
