The Illonarchk Nationale of to-day mentions the ' l 23' manifested by the people at the announcement 'net Garibaldi and Count Cavour had become re eolleiled, and states that the reconciliation was 4 nlght about by the influence of a very high 1438 onage, who induced them to come to frank ex- Illanations and an open reconciliation. The same journal adds that on the same evening 4 tiribaldi and Gen. Cialdini embraced each other 141 reconciled brothers. NAPLES, APRIL 25.

Orders have at the same time been given for the ttting out of one ship of the line, one frigate, and a a►fir steamer. PARIS, APRIL 25. 'The Paine of this evening says : " Omar Pasha arrived on the 23d at Antivari, a tld immediately proceeded to Trebinye." The Patrze also contains the following : " A despatch from Beyrout, dated the 20th inst., 4 11nounces that the English squadron arrived in the t Dads on the 19th inst. " According to the same despatch, the English English had left Beyrout, accompanied by the "t c inglish Consul, on an excursion to the mountain." The Emperor to-day reviewed a division of the exalry reserve. The Paris papers, on the authority of telegraphic a dvances from Marseilles, state that the Bank of Prance has taken into consideration two proposals vrhich had been submitted to it by parties in Con letantinople and in London. These proposals are said to offer the necessary rnarantees to enable the two great houses of Mar s eilles which have lately suspended payment to /esume business. - The same papers state that the aspect of finan tial affairs has improved at Marseilles, and add that 6 eVe ral bankers of London and Paris gave assist ancv yesterday to several important Greek houses. THIS DAY'S IIiAR_KETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Very limited supplies of home-grown wheat were on sale t5-day, yet the demand for both red and white qualities relied very inaotive. All good and fine parcels quite main tained previous rates; but inferior parcels were extremely 4 ,lfllcult of disposal. Al); kinds of foreign wheat changed hands to a limited e Mont, but without leading to quotable change in their Floating cargoes of grain attracted but little attention. Ia prices, however, we have no change to report. Fine malting barley moved off steadily, at full currencies, but other descriptions were a very dull sale. In malt about an average business was transacted, on former terms. The oat trade was firm, and in some instances prices fur ther improved. Beans and peas were in request, at fully the late ad vance. Flour changed hands to a moderato extent only, at un altered rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whest. Barley. Malt. Oats.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-,(THIS EVENING ) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE MARRIAGE LAWS. Lord WODEHOUSE presented petitions numerously signed in favour of legalising the marriage with a deceased wife's sister, from Birkenhead and Liverpool.. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented several petitions in favour of this bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS: The Clifton and Durdham Downs (Bristol), the Garston and Liverpool Railway, Marlborough Railway, and Exeter Railway Bills were read a second time. The Great Northern of Scotland Railway and the Leigh District Gas Bills were read a third time and passed. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Lord LYVEDON presented a petition from the inhabi tants and taxpayers of Calcutta and of Bengal Proper com plaining of the system of government in India. The noble lord said he differed from some of the statements in the petition, but in others he entirely concurred. The petition contained ;;the names of persons of great importance in India, and also the names of nearly all the gentlemen in the legal profession in practice there. The complaints of the petitioners were the great increase which had lately taken plape in the taxation of the country. Her Majesty's G overament had taken the unusual course of sending out a special financial commissioner, and various heavy imposts had been made on the people there. The p t:tioners particularly referred to the increase of the Mysore grant, which was said to have ab sorbed half the sum produced by the income tax. Having applied to the legislative council for information, the peti tioners had been repulsed, and this he considered the real grievance of the pctltianars. They moreover complained of the manner of the military expenditure of the Indian Go vernment, while they stated that the military expenditure at home was economical at the expense of India. The petitioners also complained that there were no exact estirnat , s of the cost of the Indian army—(hear, hear) — and they most earnestly urged that some steps might be taken to remedy this state of things for the future [Another of the prayers of the petitions was that the members of the Council of India should have seats in Parliament, and also that the number of those gentlemen might be increased. He thought there was great objection to the Legislative Council of India, and thought it absolutely unnecessary for the wellbeing and good Government of India, and he concluded by asking in which of the two houses the mea sUre ralativw to Irrdlo• weald Irroapht forward. Earl DE GRhY and RIPON said he was unable to state the precise time at which the bill would be brought for ward relating to the Council of India, but it was in a very forward state, and would be brought under the con sideration of the other house very shortly. The no ble earl had touched upon the Mysore grant, but the ultimate re • suit of that transaction would be that, whereas, under for mer arrangements, certain districts were act aside for sup plying the wants of the Mysore princes, that family would now be provided for by an annual charge of £17.000. He thought their lordships would come to the conslusion that the arrangement made for those princes was much more conveniently provided for than for merly. With reference to the motion for pipers on this subject made in the Legislative Council in Calcutta, he was surprised to hear his noble friend approve of that part of the petition. He altogether denied that the Legislative Coun cil was a Parliament, or had the right to exercise the func tions of a Parliament. He thought it highly desirable to have depots at home for the regiments in India; and with respect to the India accounts relative to the military expenditure, papers relative to them would be laid veryshortly before Parliament. He altogether denied that the Secretary of State had power to make an uncontrolled charge on the revenues of India. The Duke of ARGYLL defended the pas sing of the act of 18;53. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he condemned from the first the constitution of the legislative council. He saw from the first their desire to nibble at the religion of the people, and he attributed to that council more than anything else the outbreak of the late mutiny. If the government entertained feelings against the council, he trusted they would have the courage to abolish a body which was inconsistent with the honour, the credit, and the strength of the government in India. After a few words from the Marquis of Clanricarde and Earl- Grey, the subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned, HOUSE OF COMMONS.—:(THIS EVENING.) INDISPOSITION OF THE SPEAKER. At a quarter to four o'cloek. the Clerk of the House read a letter from the Speaker, stating that from illness arising from rheumatism he was unable to attend the house this evening, but that he hoped to be able to resume his duties on Monday. ' Mr. MASSEY, the Chairman of Committees, then took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the South Eastern Railway (Capital, &c.) Bill were considered and agreed to. The Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway, with amend ments, was also considered. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Bootle Branch, &c.) Bill was read a third time. The Newcastle and Under Lyme Marsh Land Bill:and the Sneyd's Branch Railway Bill were considered and ordered for third reading. THE DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. MACAULAY presented a petition from Thomas Ward on behalf of himself and others, claimants against the Crown for losses incurred in the Secret Expedition to Copenhagen in 1807, The hon. and learned member read some extracts from the petition, which stated that the claimants were British merchants, and that a Royal Com mission had examined their claims and adjudicated in their favour in 1810. Their report was presented to the House of Commons by her Majesty's Government, and in 1811 a committee of the whole house passed .a resolution voting a "money address," which was presented by a member of the Privy Council to her Majesty, who expressed her desire to give effect to the wishes of the House of Com mons in this instance. However, notwithstanding these proceedings, the petitioners' claims were unliquidat ed, and they prayed the house to redress the grievance, which arose out of an exceptional event in the history of the civilised world. The hon. member gave notice that he would eallthe attention of the house to the subject en a future occasion, and move a resolution in reference to the subject. DERRYMACASH RIOTS. Sir W. VERNER moved for copies of the several infor mations and dying declarations in relation to any of the cases of homicide, riot, illegal or party processions, or other criminal offences, alleged to have been committed in the county of Armagh in the month of July last, taken before a magistrate ; also of entries in the Crown book in reference to such proceedings, as well as other information on the subject.—Ordered. COURTS MARTIAL IN INDIA. Mr. FREELAN ) asked the MARTIAL of State for India, whether copies of the findings of the courts 'martial ap pointed in India for the trial of officers charged with in sulting Mahometans while engaged in religious worship in. Egypt, and of any reprimands or comments on the proceed ing of the - courts-martial by Sir Hugh Rose, had been re ceived by the government; and whether there would be any objection to lay such copies, if received, uport the table of the house ? Sir C. WOOD said that he was happy now to be in a position to produce communications from Sir Hugh Rose, and he would lay them on the table of the house if the hon.. member would move for them. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF NATIONAL EDUCATION, IRELAND. Mr. LONGFIELD asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land when he would furnish the return, ordered by the house, of the names, &c., of the members of the present Board of National Education in Ireland ? Mr. CARDWELL said that, by the returns of the house, he found that the return had been laid on the table of the house, and a portion of it had been printed. THE LATE CAPTAIN BRABAZON. General PEEL asked the noble lord the First Lord of the Treasury, in the absence of the Secretary of State for Foreign. Affairs, NAB:, was prevented attending from illness, what steps the Government had taken t o ascertain whether the report of the murder of Captain Brabazon, of the Royal Artillery, by the Chinese, was true; and, whether the informaeon received is derived from the personal knwledge of the informants, or rested merely on Chinese rumour? THE ALLEGED OUTRAGE ON CAPTAIN MAC DONALD. Lord R. CECIL called the attention of the house to the outrages on Ckptain Macdonald at Bonn ; and asked the Secretary 6f State for Foreign Affairs if he in tended to take any steps for the protection of British subjects travelling in Prussia. The noble lord detailed the circumstances connected with the event, and contended that it was to English travellers that some statement should be made by the Government on this subject, and he censured in very strong terms the conduct of the Prussian authorities as unjust, illegal, and arbitrary. He thought the authorities ought to be warned of the danger which they incurred in pursuing similar conduct. Bofors English travellers went to Prussia they ought to be made acquainted by their Government that travelling in that country was attended with peculiar dangers and annoyances, , particularly as regarded Englishmen. CAPTAIN BRABAZON. Mr. GREGORY said with reference to the alleged fate of Captain Brabazon, who was stated to have been decapi tated and his body thrown into a canal, it was asked why the canal had not been dragged, to which it was replied that there were so many of the bodies of the Chinese in it that it would have been impossible to have discovered the bOdy of Captain Brabazon out of the multitude of other bodies. He had been informed by a gentleman who was located in the neighbourhood of the canal at the time in question, that he had not seen a human body in the canal. He referred also to documents froth Chinese authorities to show that the statements as to the death of Cap. Jain Br..bazon were inaccurate, and that he was alive twenty days after his alleged death. He thought that, considerinc , the operations of the Chin ese artillery, it was evident that they were directed by other than native engineers. He suggested, therefore, that the military authorities might have been induced to have separated him from his fellow-prisoners, with a view to avail themselves of his military knowledge. He thought it was a duty to the bereaved family of the gallant officer to make inquiries to ascertain his fate, and he praised Lord J. R usse ll f or th e i n t e rest he took in his fate. CAPTAIN MACDONALD. Mr. MALINS said that Captain Macdonald had en trusted his case with the house to him. He recapitulated some of the leading and well known circumstances con nected with the case. He thought the noble lord at the head of the Government was bound tq make some expla nation on this subject, and the house to give an expression of feelin g that wo u ld show the Austrian people that the people of this country resented as a national indignity the conduct of th e Aus t r i an officials in re gard to w this affair. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to the question relative to Captain Brabazon, said he feared that the only con solation which the,friends of the gallant gentleman could derive was that his fate was sudden, and that consequently he escaped the torments and ,suffering of his fellow-pri soners.

CITY, Two o'Ctociz. During the last few days there has been rather less activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have slightly declined, while full prices have been obtained for the finer qualities of coffee. Rice has been in moderate request with out any material change in prices, and the transac tions in fruit and spices have been on a rather moderate scale at about previous rates. Saltpetre nd tallow have been in very limited demand, and quotations have not varied to any material extent., There is a fair demand for money, and the rates are very firm, ranging from 4A- per cent. upwards, according to the character of the paper:offered for negotiation. The sum of £48,074 has been applied to the re demption of 243 Peruvian 3 per Cent. Bonds. The English Stock Market has been very de pressed, in consequence of the distressing accounts from New York, which, for the moment, engross the chief attention of the dealers and speculators. A decline of 4 per cent. has taken place, Consols having receded to 918 r for money and account, but a decided recovery has since occurred, the pre sent quotations being 911 92.

THE BUDGET—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. M. GIBSON said—The financial scheme that has been submitted to the house has undergone much and varied inquiry, and I remark that the investigations which hon. members appear to have undertaken have lod them on diffe rent points to very different conclusions. It is not for the Government to complain of the most searching, inquiry into such a financial proposal as it may think fit, on its respon. sibility, to recommend for the adoption of Parliament; I, for one, should be the last to complain, or to think that the Houso of Commons should be deterred by any consideration from giving the fullest attention, or applying the most searching investigation, t ) the financial plan of the Govern ment. But there is this remarkable difference that strikes me at once, that, while the hon. member for Stamford (Sir S. Northcote) tells us he is satisfied with the estimates of the revenue from Customs and Excise, as submitted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the hon. gentleman who has just spoken. disputes those estimates, and the -ccdoulation of what they will probably yield, and says the Government is misleading the house into a reckless remission of taxation in those sources of revenue. I believe the probable yield of the Excise and Customs has been honestly estimated, in conference with the departments which can alone judge what is likely to be the yield of those great sources of re venue, and I will undertake to say that those estimates would in all likelihood have been the same if the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) had been Chancellor of the Exche quer, instead of my right hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) These are not matters respecting which officers of departments can plot in concert with the Chancellor of the Exchequer,in order to cook up an account that may mislead the House of Com mons. (Hear, hear.) Nothing of the kind. These, I repeat, are honest estimates, made by men of judgment and integrity, and I believe that they represent as accurately as can be ascertained what will be the revenue of the incoming finan cial year. (Hear.) Sir, I must say lam surprised, not at the criticisms which have been passed on this budget, but at some of the statements which have been made respecting it. The hon. and learned member for Mallow (Mr. Long field) said he viewed this budget with abhorrence both in its substance and its details. I certainly should not have thought it calculated to give rise to such emotions. (Hear, and a laugh,) lam astonished also at the indications from some hon, members of what they would have preferred. I had not the good fortune to hear the speech of the hon. member (Mr. B. Stanhope), but I am told it was a very good one. (Hear, hear.) He said he should have preferred he Government had proposed a larger income-tax, ac. companying this proposal with a reduction of the duties on tea and sugar ; but I do not believe that that is the opinion of the party with whom the hon. gentleman acts, and I never heard that they would have been prepared this year to agree to an increase of the income-tax if it were apcom • panied by a remission of indirect taxation. It has not been thought right to propose a larger income-tax than 9d, in the pound, though, according to the hon. gentleman, one of lOd. or lid. in the pound ought to be proposed in order to reduce the duties or, :ca aril s•igar. Mr. B. STANHOPE—Perhaps I may be allowed to ex plain what I did say. After stating that I did not wish to apply the unnecessary penny in the way proposed by the Government, I added that I should not object to spend that penny, or even an additional penny, in taking off indirect taxation. • _ _ Mr. M. GIBSON—Then there was the hon. member for I Chippenham, who objected to the Budget, and wished for a practical amendment. Anything, he said, for a practical amendment, in order to condemn the scheme of the Govern ment. Well, I am only sorry there is not a practical amend ment before us. (Hear, hear.) We want to know what is the alternative proposition by which hon. members would abide as a substltute for the plan of the Government. (Cheers.) The hon. member who opened the discussion said nothing very definite. His was a speech full of negative proposi tions, but he told the Government that their responsibility was great, and that their first duty was to provide ade quately for the public service, maintain the public faith, and if r „,„k Q ; A „,, ‘.• O'. them in the way mast likely to benefit the country. (Opposition cries or ‘• bear.) That is good advice, and it is my belief that the Govern ment have acted consonantly with it. (No.) We have, as we believe, provided adequately for the public service. We are as alive as the hon. member can be to the necessity for upholding public credit, and we believe that in the remis sions which we propose we aro doing what, on the whole, at the present time will prove most beneficial to the general interests of the country. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman who last spoke asked me to explain one item of income which he seemed to think very doubtful—namely, the amount which will be received from China in the course of the pre sent financial year. The hon. member has given us his esti mate of the probable yield of the customs duties at the various ports c pen to our trade in China ; but let me re mind him that ho gave us an estimate of what had been re ceived during 1859, which was a year of war—(hear, hear) — and he also failed to tell us that under the treaty new ports aro to be opened. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member seems o t doubt whether the depa r t m ents in England and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, with a full knowledge of the de ve - t a ils and a full sense of their responsibility, are able to gi the probable yield of the Customs of the r United Kingdom; and yet he, an independent me mber, is prepaed to give us, from some private sour ces of information, the exeact.amount of what is to be the year's yield of customs darersesmeestofmore ports in China. (Hear, hear.) Now, 'th I prefer to take the estimate of Lo w rd i Elgin and p ßaron ohfaTveiento_ltadihnerthMeraejewstiyll'sbGe c o e v r e t rn ain m s e u n m t t s h r a e t c , e u i n ve d d er , the Gr° treaty e w a t h y ° amounting to about Si',ooo,ooo, during the present financial year. (Hear, hear.) Tye* are, in fact, five quarters', or near ly a year and a-halt's receipts ; but the money will be forthcoming, and we shall be able to carry it to the credit of the country during the present financial year. (Hear, hear.) Out of this £1,000,000 I am not aware that anything that Mr. Bruce may do or may have done in consequence; of delay in his receipt of instructions can make a difference exceeding £OO,OOO or £lOO,OOO in the estimate of my right hon. friend. This million is to be disposed of rateably be tween the merchants and the Government. It has ap peared to us that, considering that this country has ex pended some millions for, as we are told, the protection of merchants and of trade in China, there should be out of this indemnity at least a rateable proportion retained by the Go vernment. (Hear, hear.) Basing our opinion upon autho rity of the only perms who are qualified to guide us in this matter—namely, those who have been on the spot, who have negotiated this treaty, and who are responsible for the advice they give,—we believe that a moderate estimate of the amount which can be carried to the accoun t tof i t c h; 9 British Governm ent during the financial year is at least £750,000. (Cheers.) I should infinitely have preferred keeping witlAtz roY monoimutediate prpyiuce2 9 this explanation concerning the Chinese indemnity to be made by my right hon. friend, but,. as the right hon. gentleman requested me to say something on the subject, can state conscientiously that, in my belief, this is not au over-estimate of the money which will be received front China during the present financial year. (Hear, hear.) The hon. baronet. (Sir S. Northcote) spoke of the glcomy pros pccts of the country in reference to its import and export trade, telling us that it was not right to calculate upon a full Exchequer, seeing the decline which had taken place in our exports and imports. Ho stated very accurately the amount of our exports in the first:two months of the present year, and said that during that period they fell short of the ex ports for the corresponding months, of 1860 by £8 , 370 , 000, or 16 per. cent. But we have now a return made up to the close of the month of March, making three months, and I find that there is a remarkable recovery in this third month. (Hear, hear.) Although there is still a decrease in the value of our exports during the first three months of this y ear as con pared with 1860, the comparison is not new ee teet'aVour able as before. Instead of a falling off of £3,70 4 0'00; oe 16 per cent., as in the fir s t two months of the year , the diminu don for the three months is £2,612,000, or 9 per cent. (hear, hear) ; the total value of exports being £27.669,000 in 1861 against £30,481,000 in 1860. There is also this satisfactory statement to be made besides—that last march, as compared with March, 1860, shows an increase in the declared value of our exports of £557,000. (Hear, hear.) There can he no doubt that at the commencement of this year . there was not that activity of trade which we could desire. Various causes had contributed to t hat result—the severity of the winter prolonged far into this year, the state of affairs in the United States, and the falling off of our trade with Bri tish India, contributed to it; but there was a marked re covery in the last month, and it is not fair to assume that that diminution cf oar exports which the hon. baronet truly stated took place during the first two months of the year is to be a criterion of what the exports will he during the whole of the year. (Cheers.) In the first two months of 1860 a much larger proportion of the imports of th year took place than is usual. In that year they were 21 per cent. of the imports of the whole year, while in former years the average of those two months was only 19 per cent. (Hear, hear.) So that it is not altogether fair to compare the imports of the first two months o this year with the imports of the first two months of last year, which were out of the usual proporiti7 ns to proportions. t . u ( r Hear, hear.) Ido not find anything in the shi pping justify gloomy forebodings as to the trade of the present year. They show an increase in the first three months of the present year both of British and foreign tonnage as compared withlB6o. The total tonnage entered and cleared outwards with cargoes in the first three months of 1861 is 4,299,027 tons as against 3,914,643 tons in the same time in 1860. The British tonnage was 2,533,511 tons for 1861, and 2,450,1.50 tons for 1860. So that there is an increase this year both of all shipping freighted with cargoes in and out and of British shipping in particular. (Hear.) These are reasons for not taking a gloomy view of the probable re ceipts from our various sources of revenue for the coming year. (Hear.) Ido not deny that a flourishing state of trade is the general forerunner of a full Exchequer. I quite admit that it is fair not to take too sanguine a view of the probable yield of our various taxes if we see reason for sup- , posing that our great brancheseef industry may be affected injuriously. But all these considerations have had weight with her Majesty's Government, and with the departments concerned in drawing up the estimates of the probable yield of the taxes for the present financial year. (Cheers.) With regard to the various alternatives, there is one which I do not think any hon. gentleman has proposed, and that is that the Government, having a charge of £69,009,000 to provide for, should ask the House of Commons to give them some thing like £72,000,000 for the purpose. (Hear.) What would the House of Commons have said to such a proposal? Could we honestly—to use a vulgar phrase—have sweated down the surplus, and have come here with a lame story that there was no surplus, peas t 3 eave ourselves the trouble and difficulty of repealing talcs, et hich appears to me much more embarrassing than putting them on. The Government would do nothing of the kind ; but, honestly believing that the present t aeee if allrenewed would give a surplus of reve nue over expenditure, they have proposed a budget founded on thoselprinciples embodying such remissions as on the whole they believed to be most beneficial to the country. (Hoar.) If we had come down here to propose a 10d. income-tax, the re newal of the tea and sugar duties, and the keeping on of all the existing taxes, the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks would have told us that he could be no party to . trusting the Governmentin which hehad no great confidence with so large a surplus. (Hear.) He would have said what he said when my right hon. friend the Secretary for India brought in a budget which showed something like £1,000,000 surplus. The right hon. gentleman then said : sr " The Government are in possession of a surplus revenue of £1,000,000, and that is a surplus which no Government ought to ask the house to provide over and above the neces sary expenditure of the year; " and he went on to say that they ought "to consider whether it would be most for the advantage of the country that the excise on paper should be repealed or that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be left in possession of a surplus which they had no security that he would discreetly use." (Hear, hear.) When my right hon. friend had a surplus of £1,000,000 the right hon. member for Bucks thought that surplus ought to be ap plied to the repeal of the paper duties. (Hear, hear.) The tea duty was then 2s. ld., the sugar duties were high, and yet the right hon. gentleman thought the surplus ought to be applied to the repeal of taxes he eloquently described as taxes on knowledge and on trade, and against which he, in fact, adopted all the arguments which have been made use of in support of that repeal. (Cheers.) The resolution of 1850 was not an abstract resolution—(hear, hear)—it was a resolution asking Ministers to make use of their surplus for the repeal of the duty, and I hope we shall have from the right hon. gentleman now some assistance of the sort which I had the honour to receive from him in 1850, for I can conceive no alteration of circumstances which can justify any change in his opinion. (Hear.) On the contrary, all the facts which have happened since that period have strengthened the case of the paper duty, and have supplied no reasons for further delay. (Hear.) Every hon. gentle man, then, I think, will candidly admit that we were bound to propose some remission of taxation ; that we could not propose to renew all the taxes. A penny remitted from the income-tax would have left the £1,000,000 surplus which the right honourable gentleman would not allow the Go vernment to retain in 1850. We could net stop short there. Were we, then, to cast over the paper duty, to ignore the past, and to assume that the House of Commons was not in earnest when it passed the second and third readings of the bill last year. Honourable members have told us that they voted for it, not caring much whether the question were carried or not ; but, was the Government to presume to suppose that the de liberate votes of the House of Commove were not meant to be a guide to it? (Hear, hear.) It was impossible for the Government, if they intended to propisse any remission of taxes, to pars over the paper duties. (Cheers.) If hon. gene tlemen will place themselves in our position, they ragst ad mit that that was the right, consistent, honourable, and bold course to pursue, and I believe it is the course which this house will support. (Cheers.) The hon. baronet oppo site says we ought not to repeal the paper duty, because we can't put it on again. But why can't you? Because, he knows that thel milts of that repeal will be se apparent in the country—that the extension of manufacture, the increase in the employmnt of lal , our, and the b 3 neflcial influence upon the general commerce of the country prod ttezd I , : , that repeal will bo such that no Minister would think it consis tent even with the interests of the public revenue to put it on again. (Cheers.) The hon. baronet says that if you re. mit the paper duty you take off a permanent source of revenue, but the House of Commons declared by its vote that it was n - t to be regarded in that light—(hear)--and I cannot help thinking that if the 0 overnment had ignored the resolution on the subject at which the representatives of the people arrived, they would have been guilty of dis respect to this house, as well as forgetful of their constitu tional functions. (Mar, hear.) I must add that I feel as tonished that hon. members opposite should suppose that we, in recommending the repeal of this tax last session, did so with so little consideration that we must now admit our selves to have been entirely in the wrong and ought to deem 4 nil?. Antv frl wermnsa the remi ion of some other s t em of the taxation of the country. 'l:he hon. member for Somer. setshire I may remind the house, last year raised the ques tion whether we were to impose an additional penny in the r t e h f e e r H e n e c u s e t e o o r f es e e m a 1 m t e h n e s p, by p y e a r conclusion that it s d h u a t p y e, and of i upon ne e t - h t a a x t q , Majority of 0, came to the deliberate . hon. friend the Chan lished.

The House of Commons, however, with all the circumstances of the case before them and all the statements of my right hon. friend fresh in their minds, did not prefer the reduction of the duty on tea, and the Government, therefore, having a surplus at their dis posal, and being, as a consequence, bound by every Parlia mentary usage to give a remission of taxation, could not, I contend, have acted otherwise than they have done in refer ence to this question. (Hear, hear.) It has been said, in.. deed, that we ought to have had regard to the payment of debt in laying our financial proposals before you ; that there are Exchequer Bonds to be provided for, some of which will fall due in May, 1862. There are, however, no Exchequer bonds falling due this year, and I am not aware that it is the practice of Parliament to make, by taxing the c ountry more than is necessary for the requirements of the current year, provision for charges which belong to a peric gi which t t t o o n p r o o f v i d d e e b . t must be b e cannot,regarded extends beyond it.
