The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 6 o'clock. CHANCERY COURT. Viscount SYDNEY brought down an answer from her Majesty in reply to the address to inquire into the system of taking evidence in the Court of Chancery. Her Majesty had considered the address and had ordered a Commission to.issue for the purpose required. BURIAL OF SUICIDES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Leicester complaining of the conduct of a clergyman who had refused to bury a man who had committed suicide, although a jury had agreed to a verdict that the unfortunate party was insane. The petitioners prayed that, if the clergyman in question had acted in accordance with the law, that it might be altered so as to prevent a repetition of such a proceeding. THE RIOTS AT KINSALE. The Earl of RIPON said he had received a letter from Lord Massareene on the subject, expressing very great surprise at the statement of the noble marquis (Clanricarde), and denying that the riot was of so serious a nature as had been reported. His lordship had, however, ordered a strict inquiry to be made into the whole of the circumstances. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he had obtained his information from the public papers, and had only asked if the statement of the accounts were correct. He had no other means of obtaining the information. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Herne Bay and Faversham Railway (Margate Exten sion) ; Mountsorrel Railway ; Somerset Central Railway ; Wear Navigation and Sunderland Dock, Wirrel Water and Vale of Llangollen Railway. CLERK OF THE COUNCIL BILL. --- • - ••• _ _ _ This bill was read a third time and passed. ATTORNEY AND SOLICITORS' BILL. This bill passed through committee, after a few verbal amendments had been agreed to. NEW BARRACKS AT GALWAY. - - The Marquis of CLANRICATtbiaaed whether any steps had been taken for the erection of new barracks at Galway, beyond the large expenses incurred by the pur chase of land and the construction of a bridge. The Earl of RIPON said he was unable to hold out any hope that new barracks would be erected imme diately on the land referred to by the noble marquis. The subject was one surrounded with difficulty. He admitted the desirability of improving the barracks at Galway, and he could only say the subject would receive the best consideration of the War Department. It had been found necessary before the land was purchased to hire a spot at the rate of £6O per annum for the purpose of exercising the troops. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a petition from bankers, merchants, and others of the City of London in favour of the establishment of direct lines of submarine telegraphs between Great Britain and her Ma jesty's possessions abroad. The noble lord urged the necessity of improving the existing arrangements of telegraphic communication at present, the lines passed through many foreign countries, so that in the event of an outbreak in any of those States communication would be all at once interrupted. England was even now looked upon with jealousy by foreign States, and the dependence on Continental Go vernments was altogether avoidable by establishing direct and independent submarine telegraphs. The cable might be takon from England to Gibraltar, without touch ing France, then to Malta and Alexandria. If the Go vernment were to issue tenders for the laying of a cable from England to Gibraltar, the commencement of an independent line to India, the greatest good, both politically and com mercially speaking, would be effected. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the London and South- Western Railway Bill were agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Hunslet and Leeds Road. changed from Leeds and Hunslet Road ; Lawton, Burslem, and Newcastle-wader-Lyme Roads ; Midland Railway and Burton-upon-Trent Bridge. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Glmicester and Cheltenham Tramway Abandonment; Kensington Station and North and South London Junction Railway ; Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway; Malltraeth and Corsddauggan Marsh; Stockton and Darlington Railway. BRITISH AND CANADIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY. The adjourned debate on this bill, as amended, was re sumed by Lord DUNCAN.—He said that since yesterday he had an interview with the agent who was preparing the bill, and he was happy to say that he had consented to striking out the clauses which were d eemed objectionable. He alluded , par ticularly to the clause which conferred on the Treasury the power, after the bill was proved, of giving prospective gua rantees to any amount. Under these circumstances he had no objection to the bill passing. ' ' Mier some conversation the bill, as amended, was con sidered and ordered for third reading. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. Mr. LOWE, in moving the third reading of this bill, said that he objected as much as possible to compulsion with reference to subjects like the present. It had, however, been found necessary to vest the powers which the Board of Health possessed in the Privy Council, and the object 'of the present bill was merely to make the posses sion of those powers perpetual, for at present it was only temporary and was about to expire. The manner in which these powers had been exercised had been most beneficial to the community, and he referred to the last visitation of cholera, when the steps that were requisite p w o e s reedpromptlyconfer taken byth e i s n e virtue r s o t f h tehreisgeh right o o w f ers vis . ita H ti e on p , ro o - f ascertaining the qualifications of those employed to vacci nate, and of inspecting those localities where disease was suspected to exist. As a peace offering, he would withdraw the clause by which persons faili ng t o have their children vaccinated might be sued at law ; but he could not consent to the powers vested in a Privy Council being only tempo rary, as he considered it was reflecting on that body, and he would therefore persevere in conferring on it permanent powers. Mr. AYRTON strongly objected to this bill, in conse quence of its proposing to confer permanent powers on the Executive Besides it was not shown who was to pay for the enormous expenditure that might be incurred if these powers were to continue to be exercised without control and for an unlimited period. (Hear, hear.) With regard to vaccination, according to the provisions of the Poor Law I Act, adequate provision was made for vaccination, and therefore he thought it quite unnecessary to confer these powers on the ex ecu ti ve. He concluded by moving that the bill be re-committed. Mr. Williams and Sir G. B. Pechell opposed the bill. Mr.. HENLEY said th a t a much larger principle was involved in the bill than was supposed by the right hon. gentleman who intr o d uce d i t to the house. He objected most strongly to the power of visit a ti on , by which domestic privacy would be invaded, and there should be a very clear case made out before the house consented to confer such unpopular powers. He thought that the powers might be continued for three years, but not longer ; and he sug gested to the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) to accede to a compromise of this description. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE denounced the bill as one of the grossest jobs that had ever been attempted to be perpetrated ' on the house. He b e li eve d that it was only a Whig Go vernment that would propose such a measure, as it had not been attempted by a Tory Government. Having referred to the act of 1848, the hon. member contended that it was most unjust to attempt to pass this bill under present circumstances. The measure had not been fully discussed; there was no time in the present session to discuss it, and therefore the proper course would be to pass a bill con tinuing the powers to the Privy Council for another year, and next year they could give the necessary discussion to any proposition for rendering their powers perpetual. (Hear, hear.) Mr.' COWPER said that much of the opposition to the present bill was founded on an erroneous impression which existed, that the measure was the same in its provisions as that introduced in the time of Mr. Chadwick. He agreed that the bill should be made permanent, as it would be the means of enabling the powers conferred on the Privy Coun cil being carried out more efficiently. If the house on a future occasion considered that the bill did not act well they could repeal it. With regard to the bill he maintained it was calculated to render considerable service to the public ; and he adverted to the provision by which parties were exa mined with reference to their qualifications to vaccinate. One of the great objections to vaccination arose from its being practised by unqualified persons, and this bill would obviate that objection. It was proposed by the framers of the bill to bring the recent discoveries bf science to bear on a great epidemic, and it was a fact that 100,000 persons died annually from causes to which medical science might have been applied with success. Sanitary science had only recently attained to its present height, and it was only lately that the causes of many epidemic diseases which were ravaging families had been discovered. He concluded by expressing his conviction that the opposition to the bill was founded on an ignorance of its scope, or what would be its natural operation on the interests of the community. Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT strongly opposed the bill on the ground of its being permanent instead of tern por _ . Mr. EDWIN JAMES opposed the bill, and alluded to what had occurred some time since at Croydon and Hitchen, where the Board of Health had fouled a stream, which resulted in the outbreak of a fearful epidemic in the former place. The effect of the bill would be to vest the whole power on this most important matter of the public health in the medical officers, for it could not be expected that the Privy Council would them selves interfere in the case of an outbreak of an epidemic. The result would be that local boards, finding that they were deprived of all power by the system of centra lisation that was sought to be established by this bill, would become apathetic, and the consequence might be most disastrous in the event of the country being visited by a formidable epidemic. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAss,opposed, and Mr. CONINGHAM supported, the bill. Mr. LOWE replied. He complained that he had not received the support from hon. members on the opposite side of the house which he had a reason to expect from their conduct when a bill was brought in by Lord Derby's Government. Mr. SPOONER denied that his party was open to any censure for not giving the right hon. gentleman support on the present occasion, and strongly advised him to accede to the proposition for making the bill temporary and not per manent. The house the th th en ird di r v e i a d d e in d, g when the numbers were— Forlol Against it 95 Majority —6 The bill was then read a third time and passed. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.

Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Exeter in favour of the Endowed Schools Bill. Lord REDESDALE presented petitions from Kidder minster and Glasgow in favour of the Sale of Gas Bill. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Earl of MALMESBURY begged to ask the noble earl opposite (the President of the Council) whether the de spatch which appeared in the papers that day addressed by Lord John Russell, on the 22d of June, to the Govern ment at Berlin, advising Prussia not to enter into the war, was authentic, and if so, whether there would be any objec tion to lay a copy of the said despatch, with the answer thereto, on the table of the house ? Lord WODEHOUSE said the despatch was in sub stance correct, there were some inaccuracies that must have . occurred in its translation—(hear, hear)—but a copy of the document would be laid upon the table. The noble earl had said in anotherplace that the present Go vernment were following out the course he had chalked out, but he (Lord Wodehouse) contended that if there was one line of policy the noble earl had specially chalked out, it was that of preventing Prussia from interfering in the war. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that as England had had nothing to do with war, or in making the marvellous peace, this country would take the full benefit of her insulation. After a few wards from the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Earl GRANVILLE the 'subject dropped. THE STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Lord CRANWORTH rose to call the attention of the house to the fourth report of the commissioners for consoli dating the statute law, and laid on the table a bill for the further consolidation of the statutes, which he moved should be read a first time. In the year 1816 a committee of that house had undertaken the task of consolidation, but it was impossible for any man not a lawyer to make out what was meant, hence further consolidation of the statute law be came necessary. The present measure did not meddle with Militia or Mutiny Bills as they wer e but little refer re d t o by the public; the subject of marriage would also be left untouched. The bill proposed would number 94 of the usual pages of their lordships' Parliamentary papers, and the whole work of consolidation he considered would be acomplished in two years. (Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR bore testimony to the zeal and ability of his noble and learned friend (Lord Cran worth.) The work of consolidation was a much desired object, but he did not think it was to be accomplished by a eommission such as the last, where the attendance was voluntary and there was no responsibility; implicit confi dence must be placed in any persons selected for the pur pose of consolidation. What he should propose was the appointment by Government of a stag of paid professional men, who, in addition, might assist Parliament in preparing bills before they were introduced into either house; this system, he was of opinion, would much relieve both houses in the transaction of the public business of the country. Much had been done by his noble and learned friend near him (Lord Brougham) in the way of improving the bankruptcy laws ; much remained to be done with respect to the law of real property. (Hear, hear.) His noble and learned friend, not then in his place (Lord Lyndhurst), had brought in a bill of much importance touching the mode of taking evidence, which he sincerely trusted his noble and learned friend would carry on. (Hear, hear.) There were other measures most necessary at the present time to be ac complished ; for example, the simplification of the orders of the Lord Chancellors, of which there was a great mass not even arranged, and one Lord Chancellor scarcely knew the orders made by his predecessor. (Hear, hear.) There was only one other point to which he wished to draw attention, namely, that they must have one set of courts to decide equitable matters, and another set to determine legal matters. He thought also that the courts of common law might, as they had hitherto often done, decide equitable questions. Lord BROUGHAM, although much indebted to his noble and learned friend Lord Cranworth for the efforts he bad made to consolidate the laws, must yet be permitted to say a few words on the subject. The men to inquire into a matter of such weight, seriousness, and importance as the consolidation of the laws, should not be mere diletante men, but men of deep learning and wisdom. Th e difficulties and entanglement of such an object were great—as, for instance, when such a bill went down to the other house, it would then be sifted by men of great learni ng i n th e law—great lawyers, and, on the other hand, it would be dealt with by men who were not learned in the law. He, therefore, agreed with his noble and learned friend Lord Lyndhurst, that a question of such magnitude ought not to be entrusted to the consideration of so mixed an assembly; and that it ought rather be committed solely to a body of learned men, who would not only consolidate, but give a good and satis factory digest of the statute laws. It was impossible to overrate the difficulties of the subject ; and there was, there fore, the greater necessity to deal thoughtfully and seriously with it. He lamented that his noble and learned friend Lord Lyndhurst was absent through indisposition, for his noble and learned friend was most anxious to be present, partly for the purpose of assisting his noble and learned friend Lord Cranworth, and partly because of the great im portance and interest of a question in which he felt so deep an interest. The noble and learned lord paid a high com pliment to the industry and intelligence of Mr. Bellenden Ker, the Secretary of the Statute Law Commission, and for his devotedness to:this subject, and the self-sacrfficeshe had made to promote it, and concluded by hoping that his noble and learned friend Lord Cranworth would succeed in his object. Lord ST. LEONARDS approved of the object of noble noble and learned friend, but with respect to the expenses of the Statute Law Commission he must say, if it cost this country one shilling, it cost it at least £90,000. There were no fewer than 90 bills prepared under the advice of the com missioners. He did not complain of that, but he was of opi nion that those bills ought to be subjected to a strict revi sion, and that the public ought not o th erw i se . b e p u t t o great additional cost. The labour proposed to be accom plished was enormous, and to attempt to impose such a task as the consolidation of the statute laws upon the Attorney and Solicitor-General would be to impose a work on them which they could never get through. He thought the whole subject should be referred, to a select committee—a species of tribunal which, in his judgment, would be the most suit able to deal with the question. He did not think they could have the consolidation with the inquiry and report of such a committee. There should be some high authority to decide on a subject out of Parliament. If they had a simple edi tion of the statutes unencumbered with notes and commen taries, it might prove of great value. Lord WENSLEYDALE thought while the steps taken by the commission hitherto to consolidate the statute laws had admittedly effected much that was valuable, they were yet not sufficient to accomplish the object in view. He should recommend that the work to be accomplished be entrusted to one experienced and salaried officer, a distin guished member of the bar, rather than to a commission consisting of 10 or 12 persons. .cord CHELMSFORD wished to know whether his noble and learned friend intended to endeavour at present to pass the five bills which he spoke of through Parliament, or merely to lay them upon the table of their lordships' house. Lord ORAN WOR,TH, in reply, said, in answer to the questions of his noble and learned friend, his object was so to consolidate the acts as to leave everything superfluous out, and shorten the language, and put in only that which would make the bill a consecutive narrative, and so get rid of that confusion which now existed. The bill, after a few remarks by Lord BROUGHAM in fa vour of the scheme of codification of the laws, which he for one, would never give up, and by Lord CHELMSFORD, in a complimentary spirit to Mr. Bellenden Ker, was read a first time. The other business on the paper having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Forth and Clyde Naviga tion and the Maybole and Girvan Railway bills were con sidered and agreed to.

BRITISH AND CANADIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the motion for the consideration of this bill, as amended, Lord DUNCAN moved the following amendment :—To leave out clause 30 (giving power to the Treasury to make agreement with the company for use of telegraph on her Majesty's service). He deprecated the practice that prevailed of giving guarantees for the expenditure of public money by means of private bills, which he considered did not afford a sufficient check. He also proposed that clause 22 should , be expunged. After some discussion the debate was adjourcted until to morrow. FISHING VESSELS PASSING THE NORE BILL. On the motion of Mr. M.

I In reply to Sir J. SnELLEy iiLa another hon. member, Sir C. LEWIS said that he proposed to move the second reading of this bill on Friday night. He would postpone the further progress of the Highways Bill. THE BUDGET. The house having resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. MASSEY in the chair, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said,—l presume, Sir, that it will be for the convenience of the committee that I should follow the usual practice of making known to it, before I proceed to discuss any plans or proposals of the Government, the results of the finance of the last year. This need not occupy any great length of time. I will state to the committee the estimates of income as they were proposed by the right hon. gentleman the mem ber for Buckinghamshire when he held the office of Chan cellor of the Exchequer, during the year 1858 ; the actual receipt of revenue which took place when those estimates came to be tested by the result, and likewise the experience of the year as it stands. The right kon. gentleman estimated the Customs' revenue at £23,400,000. It produced £24,117,000. He estimated the Excise at £ 1 8,600,000. It produced only £17,902,000. He took the Stamps, at . £7,850,000. They produced £8,005,000. The Land and Assessed Taxes were estimated at £3,200,000. They p re _ duced £3,162,000. The Income-tax, which the right hon. gentleman estimated at £6,100,000, exceeded that sum by , more than half a million, and produced £6,683,587. Th e Post-office revenue corresponded precisely with the estimate of the right hon. gentleman, which was £3,200,000. The , Crown Lands, which . he took at £270,000, produced £280,041, and the Miscellaneous revenues, which he esti mated at £1,300,000, amounted to £2,125,944. (Hear, hear.) The Miscellaneous revenues, it will be in the recollection of the Committee, are very difficult to estimate with preci sion, particularly at a period shortly after the close of a great war, when extensive changes are in progress in the manufacturing establishments of the country, which lead to the disposal of old stores and the substitution of new ones upon a scale that is sometimes impossible to calculate be forehand. The general result on the total of the revenue of the year was, I think, satisfactory. The right hon. gen tleman estimated the entire revenue at £63,920,000 ; its precise amount was £65,477,284. (Hear, hear.) With re spect to expenditure, I do not know that I need trouble the Committee by referring to the original estimates of the right hon. gentleman, because they were subjected to cer tain modifications in the course of the session, as supple metary estimates, adding to the charges for the year, were brought forward. But I shall state to the Committee the expenditure as it actually took place. The charge of the debt took £28,527,484; the Consolidated Fund charge was £1,940,655; the charge for the army was £12,512,291; the charge for the navy, £9,`215,487; the Civil services amounted to £7,169,473 ; the collection of the revenue, or the expen diture on account of the revenue departments, was £4,515,969. There were, besides, two votes retrospective in their character, one of them for operations in China, £391,943; and the other some remaining expenses of the Russian war, £390,580; The total result was to give an ex. penditure of £64,663,882, against a revenue of X 65,477,284 ; so that there was in round numbers a surplus of about £BOO,OOO upon the balance between the income and expen diture for the year. (Cheers.) The Committee will pro bably wish to know what has been the fate, so far as it can be ascertained, of the special proposals that were made by the right hon. gentleman during the last year for the pur pose of increasing the revenue of the country. At the same time they should bear in mind that our experience has been too short to enable us to pronounce conclusively upon the degree of success that has attended those proposals. But as far as we are aware the facts are as fallow :—the ld. stamp upon draughts or checks was estimated to produce £300,000, and the augmentation of duty upon Irish spirits, which was proposed by the right hon. gentleman in such a manner as to produce a complete equalisation between the spirit duties of the three kingdoms, was estimated to yield £500,000. Neither of these duties has, however, as yet produced the sum which was expected from them. We have no means of knowing precisely what has been the product of the stamp duty upon draughts or checks, because it is kept in a single account with the stamp duty upon re ceipts, and the only measure that can be applied to that portion of the revenue which is due to the stamp duty upon checks is by comparing it with the whole increase that has taken place in the aggregate produce of the two duties. The duty upon receipts had been a con stantly increasing duty up to the year 1858, and therefore, if in 1859 we credit the penny duty upon stamps with the whole increase that has taken place since 1858, that is, upon the whole, perhaps, the fairest mode of reckoning that can be adopted. The aggregate duty upon receipt stamps and draught stamps in the year which ended on the 31st of March last was £418,000. The duty from receipt stamps alone, with the addition of the draught stamps which were formerly required in all cases where draughts passed beyond a distance of 15 miles, in the year 1857-8 yielded £281,000; so that the probable produce of the duty upon checks was no more than £137,000. But, then, it is to be borne in mind, in the first place, that the duty was in operation for little more than a period of 10 months instead of 12 ; and, in the second place, that many persons were already provided with stamped cheques for the purpose of transmission over the country, a circumstance that would naturally retard the - influx of revenue from the new duty until new stocks of cheques required to be provided. It is very hard to say what that duty is likely to produce, but, upon the whole, I think it would be sanguine, with the information which we now possess, imperfect although it be, to repeat an esti mate so high as £300,000. I should think that £200,000, or omething lower, is in all likelihood the sum which the duty upon draughts or cheques will add to our revenue. I may state here that a question has been raised whether it would not be convenient to abolish a partial exemption which is found to exist under the present law. Ido not know whether it was part of the original intention of the right hon. gentle man, but under the law, as it stands it has been found that the drawer of a cheque is entitled himself to receive across the counter the proceeds of the cheque without payment of duty. The general opinion, I think, seems to be that that exemption is not strongly founded either in reason or in con. venience ; and I also believe that the opinion of, the bankers of London, considering it with reference to the facility of operations, is that their trade would be decidedly in favour of its removal. (Hear, hear.) It is not an important financial operation, but probably as a matter of fiscal im provement, I may think it my duty to make a proposal to the house for removing that exemption. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the question of Irish spirits, it is one of greater interest, and at the same time the change has been attended with a less degree of success ; but it ought always to be recollected, in the first place, that all duties of that description require some considerable interval before their operation can be correctly appreciated, and, in the second place, that the measure of equalisation proposed by the right hon. gentleman was in itself a fiscal reform of very considerable importance, as establishing one duty between Ireland, Scotland, and England, independently of its pecu niary results. (Hear, hear.) However, the pecuniary re sult stands thus :—l7pon. Irish spirits in 1858-59 as com pared with 1857-8 we had an increase in actual money of only £85,000, which is but a very small proportion of what had been expected to proceed from that source. But, then, the duty did not take effect from the first day of the financial year. It took effect on the 17th of April, and between the d lst eli o v f er A ed pn fr - l e , m wh h e e n nd th in e y l e re a l r e b n er t n h , eu and gh t t h h e e p l7 e t ri h od therewere was oniy about a fortnight, no fewer 1,129,000 gallons of spirits, or the consumption of two months. (A laugh.) If we take the additional duty upon that quantity of spirits, which is fairly due to the accounts of the year, inasmuch as the period between the Ist and 15th of April formed part of the financial year, it would add £103,000 to the £85,000 which I have mentioned, giving a total of £lBB,OOO as the produce of the new scale of duty for the year. As far as we can judge from the produce in the period which has elapsed since the Ist of April last, there a prospect of the duty being con siderably more productive ; but at the same time it is hardly possible to judge of the result of changes of this kind upon articles of consumption. Where many interests mix with. and traverse to a certain extent the proceedings of Parlia pecuniarye up m ent, and where likewi se th e effects of your operations depend in some upon mem theeasur seasons and the prices of raw ma terial, it is n o t possible to form a conclusive judg ment results of any change in the law until a year or two have elapsed. (Hear, hear.) Such, then, is the state of the case with regard to the revenue and ex penditure of the year which closed on the 31st of March I last, and with respect to the measures proposed in the ses sion of 1858 for the purpose of providing a surplus of revenue over expenditure. I come now to a more grave and serious part of the task which is imposed upon me. I have to lay before the committee in the first instance an estimate of the revenue and expenditure for the year which is now • current. The committee is already generally aware, from the estimates that have been laid before it, that the expendi- - ture will be unusually large, and that, consequently, creased efforts must be made to meet it. To begin with the h estimates of revenue, the Customs are taken to yield d for the year which commenced on the Ist of April last, d Taxes, ' the Excise, £18,530,000 ; the Land and A e s..sess , at 5d., will close on the 31st of March next, a sum of £23ae,nBsowooo ; L 3,200,000 ; Stamps, amo,ooo ; 00I0117Crown Lands, £5,600,000; Post-office, £3,---!"-ts, £1,530,000. It may £280,000; and Miscellaneous which as no definite arrange included a sum with respect of £130,000, which it is morel ments have been made—a sum India the Council ofwill pay out or be as well to state that in thteitc,rt-ipmenioned item there is or less probable that Indian revenue, in • order to obtain a site on which they may erect b u ildi n gs for the transaction of their business in U eadenhall-strect. Although t o soli, .43 of the premises in L m/ extent uncer t a in, this item has no disturbing effect upo n the general balance of revenue and expenditure which I shall present, because, if the Council of India does of reimburse the Treasury to that extent for the gr o a nd which it would acquire, the Treasury will not incur t, he outlay for it. The total of the items which I have g ive n to the committee is £64,340,000; and it may, perb aps be interesting to the committee to compare this total • wit! ) the estiniate . of last year, in which the right hon. gentle man the member for Bucks pfoceedd upon Ale same basis of taxes, with the exception of those which he himself 'pro.
