There has been very little animation in the market s for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days, and prices generally have shown little or no variation. Sugars have realised high prices, particularly good grocery descriptions. Tea continued in limited request, and only moderate tr ansactions have been recorded in coffee and rice at Slightly reduced rates. Saltpetre, owing to a rather large quantity being announced for public sale, has slightly declined, while a moderate busi ness has been done in tallow, both for consumption am on speculative account. _ .

HOUSE 0]? LORDS—YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. _ The Biddenden Road, tlle South Shields Improvement and Quay, the Berwick, Northam, and Islandside Road, and the Strathspey Rating bills were read a second time. The Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway, and the South Eastern Railway (Capital) bills were read a third time and passed. ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said this bill had come down from the Commons with an additional clause pro viding that the Admiralty Court should have the power of settling differences between co-owners of ships without the necessity of going to the Court of Chancery. He advised their lordships to agree to the clause. The amendment was agreed to. WILLS OF PERSONALTY BY BRITISH SUB JECTS BILL. Lord KINGSDOWN moved the second reading of this bill; which was to remedy the inconvenience entailed upon British subjects residing abroad by the necessity of making wills in compliance with the statutes in force in England without their being in a position to know whether the ne cessary forms had been complied with. The noble lord cited a number of cases to show how absurdly the present system operated. In the case of an Englishman residing in Paris, having real and personal estate, wishing to make his will, he sends for his attorney, or, for greater safety, he comes over to this country, and having executed the instru ment he goes abroad and dies. His will, as far as personal estate is concerned, is invalid, because his domicile had been changed before he died. Again, if a person wishing to travel made his will previous to his leaving England, and died abroad, his domicile had been changed, and his will, so far as regarded his personalty, was of no effect. He hoped their lordships were familiar with what was meant by the term domicile, because if they were not he was sorry he could not enlighten them, notwithstanding he had while he was at the bar taken part in the argument of many cases which turned upon the meaning of the term domicile. The noble lord concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Lord WENSLEYDALE expressed his decided opposi tion to the bill, but, from the low tone of voice in which his lordship spoke, it was impossible to ascertain the grounds upon which ho rested his opposition to the measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR.said that the question was one by no means free from difficulty, and he was not con tent to support the bill of his noble and learned friend in all its details. 'lt would be most discourteous, however, to propose to reject it on its second reading, and the house should consider that no one was more competent to deal with such a measure than his noble and learned friend, to whom the country was already under deep obligations for the attention he had bestowed on that and other kindred subjects. (Hear, hear.) His noble and learned friend had pointed out some great evils which arose out of the existing law, and for these he had proposed remedies. Of the evils there could be no doubt. When he was Chief Justice he was held to be domiciled in England, because he had Eng lish duties to perform by virtue of that office. Now that he was Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, however, nobody could tell whether he was domiciled on one side of the Tweed or the other. He was bound to say that he was not sanguine as to the result of the measure new submitted to -their lordships. (Hear, hear.) Lord ST. LEONARDS said he agreed with his noble and learned friend on the woolsack, that to throw out this bill on its second reading would be a very bad com pliment to his noble and learned friend near him. The great object of the bill was to permit English people to live in France, spend their money there, and have all the benefit of English law and none of its burdens. At pre sent if an English person were living in France he could not dispose of his property according to the law of England; and if he abandoned his domicile in England and became domiciled in France, he must abide by the French law, and could not have , the benefit of English law. If an English man, according to the existing international law, made his will in this country, and had property in the French funds, the authorities in France would have no difficulty in allow ing his executors to take the property as part of the assets under the English will. In 1858 Sir F. Kelly brought in a bill which passed the otherhouse, and came up to their lordships' house, but that bill did not go so far as was pro posed by the present measure. For his own part, he did not see why a man should be enabled to evade English law by going over to France, and he thought they ought not to go further than to give him the power of disposing of his property by a will executed abroad in the same manner as if he had made that will in England. Lord CRANWORTH said the maxim of law was that of common sense and policy—mobilia sequentar personam. Where you were domiciled your property was disposed of according to the law of the place—but no country NI ould have a law so strict that the owner might not point out the direction in which his property should go. At :present an Englishman dying abroad would dispose of his property according to the law of England. There was great appre , hension lest in stopping up one hole we might be onenint others—but as a great practical evil had to be dealt with, it was desirable that some remedy should be found. Ac- cording to the first clause of this bill, an inhabit tut livieg in any of our colonies might make a will according to the law of Scotland or England, and it would he valid. He would give no opposition to the second reading. Lord KING SDO WN having briefly replied, Lord WENSLEYDALE withdrew his amendment, and the bill was read a second time. POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said its object was to afford additional facilities to the working classes to economise their savings, and thus render them better workmen and fathers of fami lies. It was found that the post-offices afforded admirable machinery for the purpose, and as Government would be security for the investments, the officials would, of course, be under Government control. These banks would not come into competition with the existing savings banks, as they would only give 2i per cent. for deposits. He begged to move the second reading of the bill. Lord COLCHESTER said he feared the machinery of the system would not work, inasmuch as there were only 2,500 money -order offices, and it was through these money order offices that the savings bank system was to be car ried out. He hoped the noble lord who had charge of this bill would explain the machinery of it before they went into committee upon it. Lord MON TEAGLE said ho was oil enough to recol lect when the old savings bank system was introduced. It was established in 1817, and the banks were intended for the benefit of the humble classes of society. The Legisla ture had placed checks upon them so as to prevent the banks from being taken advantage of by persons in a higher class of society, yet notwithstanding these restrictions the amount of the deposits exceeded at that moment L 40,000,000. It was right that their lordships should not shut their eyes to the political and social consequence of the proposed change in the system. The salaries of the officials connected with savings banks amounted to £ 91 , 000 , and the amount of the security for the integrity of these persons was £700,000. He did not think that postmasters in provincial tawns were persons capable of making the calculations for either the increment or the deductions of the accounts of the depo sitors, any more than they were of solving a quadratic equa tion. But he had further objections to the bill. He was on principle opposed to the system of centralisation attempted by the measure, and he was likewise opposed to the Go vernment being allowed to have the command of so large a sum of money as £40,000,000, and the time was when a pro posal of this kind would have caused a great excitement of public feeling. He did not intend to move an amendment to the motion, but next year he should move for a committee of inquiry into the working of the new banks as compared with the old ones. Lord ItEDESDALE said he thought the bill was ex tremely defective in one point, namely, that it would be im • possible for country depositors to obtain from the local post masters the account of their deposits, and of the interest they were entitled to, which every savings bank depositor could now do. The bill would be troublesome and costly, he feared, but the experiment was worthy of being tried for two or three years, though he quite apprehended that it would eventually be necessary to abandon- it, in conse quence of the inextricable confusion it would create. 'the Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the bill could not be carric d out except with great cost and labour, and that in a direction for which the Post-office was not originally created. He did not believe there had been any correct estimates made as to What would be the result of this measure. If any estimates had been made they would have been submitted to Parliament. The bill had several weak points in it, which, as they had already been alluded to, he would not now notice. The bill was one of very great importance, and he trusted it would be most carefully considered before receiving their lcrdships' sanction. (Hear.) Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, in reply, stated that the estimates were so carefully made that while the Go vernment would be able to pay larger interest for the money invested in those new savings banks, there would be a pro fit realised after defraying all the working expenses, and giving such salaries as would be amply sufficient to secure the services of a superior class of officials. The bill was then read a second time. DIVISION OF DIOCESES BILL. Lord LYTTELTON nominated a select committee on this bill, which was approved of. LUNACY REGULATION BILL. On the motion that this bill be read j third time, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the the insertion of words to the effect, that before a ne w trial was granted Lord Chancellor should see the lunatic. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY.

Matador, who has not been very firm these few days past, was placed hors de combat, 50 to 1 being offered against his winning, and an even tenner that he did not see the starter.

Barry," acting, as he was accustomed to do, on his own responsibility," and incurring expenditure which had never been sanctioned by the Board of Works. On the other hand, the vote for salaries and expenses of the House of Lords (in aid of the fee fund) is reduced to £lO,OOO, and the vote for charges common to both houses, £2,000. The charge for Westminster-bridge and the approaches is, apparently, near its close. Parliament a year ago passed a vote which completed the grant of £208,350 required for the bridge, and the vote now to be proposed will make up the £173,000 esti mated to be required for the western approach. There is to be a second vote of £30,000 on account of £200,000 for a new Foreign-office. In Ireland above £lO,OOO is saved on the charge for the con stabulary, and there is an increase of £14,665 in the vote for education, chiefly in the item of salaries of teachers and monitors. For abroad there are votes proposed of £20,000 for lighthouses at theßahamas and Ceylon, (after a similar vote in 1859), £60,000 for the expenses of surveying the North American boundary, £5,000 for repairs of the Dover ateatucr tor the service or the Gambia settlement, £llO,OOO for loss on discount on bills drawn in China, an increase of £4,000 for the consular service in Japan, and £13,000 additional for the support of captured negroes ; against which we may set a reduction of £12,000 in the. vote " for promoting the improvement of the Kafirs, and for the settlement and government of British Kaffraria." There is an increase of £36,000 in the vote for Holyhead harbour, which has already cost £1,188,000, and has been estimated to require pos sibly £732,000 more. The charge for repairs and building of prisons is £30,000 less than last year •, Woking has disappeared from this estimate, and the criminal lunatic asylum at Broad-moor nearly so. Convict establishments in the colonies also cost less by £33,000, and the number of convicts there is reduced from 4,132 to 3,618. The alteration on some other votes hes been already noticed, and in several instances a change is only apparent, and owing to a surplus balance in hand. The charge for printing and stationery is increased £BO,OOO, and has risen to £416.218 ; Parliamentary printing and£B9,ooo; the Census, £5,000; and p th a e pe r r t n stl ter u na d t s at ion al Statistical Congress, £l,OOO. The real increase this year, however, is but £68,000, because £12,000 was deducted from the estimate last year in the premature expectation that the paper duty would then be repealed , and Mr. M'Culloch's calculation was that half the p a p er duty would be saved in the consequen t reduction of price. Of the £68,000 no less than £ 47 , 000 is required to make good the deficiencies in former estimates. Mr, Anulloch reports that there is a strong tendency to increased e xpenditure in most departments, and perpetual. demands for more expensive paper, books, and article; of all s)rts; but he says—" With these d e mands we comply as seldom as possible, for if once we began easily to yield to then they would go on increasing . in a geometrical ratio, till in no long time this estimate would rise to £1,000,000 or upwards ; and yet I have no manner of doubt, supposing it had attained that or even a higher limit, that the demands for more costly - articles would be as great then as at p r e sent, or - greater; they are, in tr u th, a ltogether illimitable." If Solomon had lived l a t er , he would not have been limited to "three thing s , y ea , four, that are never satisfied." It may be well just to add that the Civil Service Estimates do n o t s how the whole cost of civil government, because of the large sums t hat are charged upon the Consolidated Fund, and paid without annual vote of Parliament upon estimates. The balance-sheet which we published on Friday shows that the expenditure in the financial year just closed was, in round n umbers, as follows:-- Interest of the debt, £26,000,000 ; army and navy, £28,000,000; war in China. £3,000,000 ; Govern ment and civil service, £16,500,000 ; collection of the revenue, £4,501',000. 2111 S DAY'S SITIPPING.

SYKES gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for a return on the subject. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT ACT. la reply to Mr. M. MILNES , The SPEAKER said that the house on Wednesday last declined to read this bill a 2d time, and passed a resolution to the effect that an alteration in the existing law relative to marriage, by which there would be a different law in different parts of the kingdom, would be most inconvenient. It was competent to the hon. member to ask the house to name another day for the second reading of the bill. How ever, he thought that the most proper way of dealing would be to withdraw the bill and introduce another framed in conformity with the expressed opinion of the house. (Laughter.) INDIAN ARMY. Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary of Slate for India whether he had any objection to lay before the house copies of the orders or communications sent or made by him to the Governor-General for carrying out the amalgamation of the Royal and local armies, and for giving effect to her Majesty's warrant for the formation of a staff corps for India, dated Jan. 16, 1861, together with copies of all dis sents and opinions recorded on that measure by members of the Council of India in Jan. 1861 ? Sir C. WOOD said he did not consider it would be con venient to produce the documents in-question. THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the conference of the Ambassadors and Ministers of the Courts of rrance, the United States, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, which in his circular despatch to her Majesty's Ministers at these Courts, dated Feb. 11, 1860, he proposed should be held in London in the months of May or June of that year, to consider what mea sures could be taken to check the increase of the slave trade, and finally provide for its total abolition, was held, and if not held in consequence of the refusal to attend such conference by any of the above mentioned Powers, whether he had any objection to state which Powers so refused, and on what reasons they based their refusal ? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the United States would not consent to the proposition made to the Government of that country on the subject. THE FACTORY ACTS. Lord H. LENNOX asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce during the present session any measure to carry out the recommendations of Mr. Tremen heere, contained in his report on " expediency of subjecting the lace manufacture to the regulations of the Factory Acts ?" Sir G. C. LEWIS said it was intended by the Govern ment to bring in such a bill as that alluded to this session. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. Viscount RAYNHAM asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether, in order to extend the useful employment of women, it would, in his opinion, be advisable t? levy a tax upon all men employed in linendrapers' and other shops of that description ? _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said much injustice was inflicted on women by their exclusion from different employments now entirely occupied by men, but he did not think it would be desirable to use taxation for the purpose of regulating the distribution of labour. THE CONVICT HENRY DENHAM. In reply to Viscount RATNIIAM, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the license against Henry Denham, who was convicted at the Lambeth Police-court, had been revoked. PAUPER CHILDREN. Viscount RAYNHAM asked the President of the Poor Law Board what steps he proposed to take with reference to the condition of pauper children in workhouses, as stated in the report of the Commissioners on Education? Mr. VILLIERS said that the subject was under consi a.i....tro.. THE DUTY ON PAPER. In reply to Sir M. PETO, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he intended to proceed in the same way as last year, namely, to allow Id. in the pound drawback. DUTY ON SUGAR AND HOPS. Mr. DODSON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what loss he estimated would ensue to the revenue of the financial year 1861.2 if the duties on sugar were re newed, from the Ist of July next, at the rates at which they stood in September, 1851, under the Act 17 and 18 Vic. c. 29, instead of at the rates at which they now stand ; and whether he would state at what amount he estimates the revenue to be derived from the excise duty on the growing crop of hops and from the cus toms duty upon hops in the current financial year? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a good deal of inconvenience would result if there was any alteration' in reference to the sugar duties this year. He estimated the deficiency from the failure of hops at about £1,400,000. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for Banffshire in the room of Sir Langton Gordon Duff, who has resigned. THE BUDGET. On the motion for going into committee of ways and means, Mr. T. BARING rose and was received with load cheers, The hon. gentleman, who was very imperfectly heard in the gallery, said,—The night a budget is produced is not the best time for discussing its merits or defects. Of course, the committee must be taken in a great measure by. surprise. Much of the information so given could be previously known only to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The facts must be assumed, many calculations require to be examined, and it is not. therefore, surprising that a week ago the dis cussion which took place in this house was confined to sub stitutes for the remissions proposed by the right hon. gen tleman. But when the character of the scheme is considered, it must be seen that there is some necessity for discussing its general nature and principles. (Hear.) I wish to explain why I now venture to address the house instead of waiting till we get into committee. In committee it is usual to con fine our observations to the particular resolution before us, but, as the right hon. gentleman says it is his intention to comprise all his financial proposals in one sole and entire measure, he seems to require us to deal with them as a whole. (Hear.) I must apologise to the house for venturing to occupy its time, but there is such general interest felt in the state of our financial concerns that, humble as I am, I may be permitted to express opinions which may be quite erroneous, bat which I sincerely entertain. (Hear.) lam happy that we live at a time when experience has shown that a budget may be modified or rejected without any change in the position of the Ministry. (Hear.) lam glad that we have seen budgets withdrawn and fresh ones in troduced. We have seen taxes remitted, or taxes the renais son of which, when proposed, has been refused, without having any effect upon the Cabinet. In fact, a change of the budget does not involve a change of Ministry, and I re joice that it is so, because I think it would be most unpar donable obstinacy on the part of public men to adhere to the terms of a budget which was opposed to the wishes and feelings of Parliament. It would be =fortunate for the' free exercise of the judgment of this house if the rejection of any portion of a budget were to be construed into a vote of want of confidence. I bog sincerely to disclaim any inten tion to convey such a censure in the course I am now taking. It is desirable that the house and the country should per fectly understand not only our present financial position, but our financial prospects; and although:l am aware that' am not competent to throw light on this important subject, yet I think we may ascertain not only what are the views of Government, but what are the views of hon. gentlemCn on both sides. I assure the house I have not the presumption to a ttempt to follow the right hon. gentleman through all the statements and illustrations contained in his most able speech. I am not about to weary the house with a reference to many of the topics on which he touched, even although I may not agree with them. Neither is it my wish to revert to past legislation. My real object is to state my opinion as to our present position and the wisdom of the right hon. gentle man's intended policy. I need not therefore advert to the commercial treaty with France—that is an accomplished fact, and I heartily join, as I th'nk we must all do, with the right hon. gentleman in trusting that it may be successful in promoting the mutual interests of the two countries, and in removing any feeling's of jealousy or animosity which may at present exist between them. (Hear, hear.) But when the right hon. gentleman himself said the treaty was a one sided instrument he really acknowledged the objection which was entertained to it on this side Of the house—(hear) —in addition to the objection founded on the loss of revenue it would entail. The right hon. gentleman described the in jury sustained by the Exchequer last year, as compared with the year preceding, on account of the one. eing leap. year and the other having two Sundays instead of one. (Laughter.) In the firat place, we all know that, as regards ono great source of revenue, an ordinary year yields as much income as a leap-year; and again, it must not be thought the consumption of articles contributing to our Cus toms or Excise lies dormant during the Sundays. (Hear.) If it were otherwise , what a g odsend the abolition of Sun- op " vi m J tc• t 49 gzchequer t (Laughter.) Who right hon. gentleman says every day brings £IOO,COO to the reve nue ; so that, if there were no Sundays, according to this calculation, you would gain a total sum of £5,200,000 per annum. But you can hardly rely on that reason as an ex planation of the deficiency. (Hear.) The right hon. gentle man ascribed the increased importation of butter, cheese, and similar commodities to the removal of duties ; but I think it was due to a much sadder cause—namely, the failure in the production of the articles of food required by the people of this country. (Hear.) I will not enter into tho question whether gieat importations are always a test of national rosperity ; nor, although, no doubt, when we im port gold, that gold must be paid for in our exports, whe. ther the exportation of our home treasure to meet a sudden demand, and the monetary difficulty consequent upon it, is not in reality a national calamity. (Hear. ) I only wish to state, with every deference to those from whom I differ, my conviction that the provision which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to make for the future is neither safe, wise, nor politic. (dean) I ask what was our position at the termination of the last financial year ? The right hon. gentleman stated the deficiency at £2,271,000, part of which ho said belonged to a previous year, although it had all still to to paid for; and he told us that it was very gratifying the result was such as it was. No doubt the case might have been worse; but I confess that, although authorised by Parliament, the mode in which the deficiency was met is not eatisfactory to my mind. It was met by the absorption to a great extent of our available means for future purposes —(hear)—and by an increase of the National Debt, besides the continuance of the debt through the renewal of Exche. quer-bonds which had been promised to be paid off. All this was done by the sanction of Parliament, and I do not censure the right hon. gentleman in any way for the course he pursued ; but I wish to explain that, if adopted as a per manent measure for meeting our permanent wants, it is neither satisfactory nor safe. (Hear.) With that absorption and that addition to the National Debt, is it wise to have re course to a remission of taxation of a character that cannot restore and recuperate itself, and which cannot be reimposed in case of need by any future Ministry? (Hear, hear.) I say, then, that the Government ought to have been warned that the right course for them to follow was to retain taxa tion to such an extent as would secure us against every exigency, and to reduce or remove only that portion of our taxation which by increased consumption and the aug mented resources of the country might be restored to the amount required by the public service. If there ever was a moment when prudence would be dictated to a Parlia ment, looking to our foreign relations, looking to our home concerns, to the state of our trade, and the uncertainty of the future, I may be bold enough to say that is the time when over- caution would be a virtue, and rashness a griev ous vice. (Hear.) But, assuming that we have perfect peace both at home and abroad, and a good harvest next autumn, let us consider what arc the wants of the country, and what the means by which it is proposed to meet them. Our whole expenditure, we are told, is £69,900,000 for the year. Now, that, I have no doubt, has been fixed as the maximum point it can reach, because the budget shows that we ought to be insurcd.against any fresh demand of money. I do not believe the Chancellor of the Exchequer would pro pose to remit the duties which he proposes to take off if he did not feel confident that under no circumstances whatever could he have to call upon this house for further grants of money. So I take that for granted. There are two items which strike me as a little doubtful. I speak with diffidence upon such a point, but, if lam net mistaken, our naval affairs are in a state of transition. There are changes being adopted in the form of construction and arming of ships which must be very costly in their nature. I will not say much about the money for fortifications, but the right hon. gentleman must recollect, although he did not mention it in his speech, that the interest upon these annuities, in pro- , portion as the money is expended,must increase the charges upon the country. (Hear, hear.) Those are two items which are not, perhaps, of exceeding importance, but still Ciey are matters which suggest doubts as to the future ex penditure of the count-y. The total revenue is put at £71,823,000, giving an apparent surplus of £1,900,000. Sup posing that all is prosperity and sunshine in this country during the next year, I do not believe—although I speak without authority upon that point—l do not believe that the estimate of the right hon. gentleman as to the produce of the Customs and Excise are at all exaggerated. But will ho tell us that there may not be such circumstances in this country, such as a failure in the coming crops, such a ces sation of demand, such a stagnation of trade in the manu facturing districts, and loss in the agricultural districts, as may materially diminish the revenue of this country P . I do not make any charge against the right hen. gentleman, but he is aware how £600,000 disappeared last year from a failure in the crop of hops and of malt. One may be per mitted to say that nothing can be more dangerous than to reckon upon everything being in a state of perfect prospe rity when we know how much a partial adversity will cost us. There is another item which appears to me of g doubt- ful character—the £750,000 which the right hon. gentle. man expects to receive from China. (Hear.) There is the credit of £BOO,OOO of last year, which is, I suppose, to be pro vided out of balances in the Exchequer, or by Exchequer bonds. Then, on the other side, we have this £750,000. I can't help thinking it would be rather the wiser course to await the certainty of such a payment before we proceeded to dispose of it. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman calcu lates upon a surplus of £400,000, but if this £750,000 is not paid there will be a deficiency of more than £300,000. Once it is in our Exchequer, we can do what we like with it ; but, looking at the uncertainty of events in China, unless I had been assured by the right hon. gentleman that the whole cost of the China war will be met by the sums already voted, I should have said, " Let us wait awhile. The balance is not yet struck,' and we may be called upon to pay a good deal more than we at present expect." We are told we are to have the £750,000 clear, but I do not clearly understand that point. The noble lord opposite told us that the amount which had already been received from the Chinese Government was £250,000. We must , remember that of the 8,000,000 taels which tho Chinese Government has engaged to pay, about £050,000 is appli cable in the fire - A instance to the payment of claims of Bri tish merchants. (Hear.) If only £250,000 has been re ceived, there is still £400,000 to pay before the British Ex chequer can get a single penny. Now, is China such a speedy paymaster; can she pay so rapidly r In Lord Elgin's despatch of Oct. 25 he says that to obtain a large indemnity is simply impossible, and then he goes on to say that it will be necessary to take 40 per cont, of the gross Customs' revenue of China for about four years in order to provide payment of the indemnities already claimed by Baron Gros and himself. We may therefore calculate upon consider able uncertainty in the transmission of money from China to the British Exchequer. Upon those considerations I, for one, would rather say, " Let us pause in our remission of taxation, or at least let us pause before we remit any duty which is not of a character to be revived if once re mitted." (Hear, hear.) I believe that it is for the in terests of the country and the promotion of real economy that the Government should not be a needy Government, and should not be compelled to borrow, nor to have re course to any shifts upon the occurrence of exigencies. The right hon. gentleman has estimated that he has £1,900,000 to dispose of, and he does so by taking off ld. from the in• come-tax for three-quarters of the year, and remitting the • paper duties from October the Ist, or half a year's loss to revenue. But for next year he gives up in reality the whole of these duties; he gives up £1,100,000 of income-tax and £1,39,000 of paper duties, making together £2,400,000. Upon the Ist of May, 1862, there will be another £1,000,000 of Exchequer-bonds falling due, which ought to be paid, and which a promise had been given should be paid. Thus there will be next year a reduction of £3,400,000 in our taxation, and unless it can be shown to the house that there will be a great reduction in our expenditure, I say it would be un wise to assent to such a sweeping reduction of our income. (Hear, hear.) Now, upon what grounds can we expect a large reduction of expenditure ? I should be very happy to support any prudent measures of economy, but when it comes to a question of economising in what is necessary for the safety of the country, or for the maintenance of our good faith, I doubt whether this house or the country would assent to any reduction. (Hear, hear.) Weall hope there may be no wars in Europe ; but can we bo sure of it P We all trust that if war does break out, we may be excepted from it ; but are there not in such cases measures of precau tion, measures which good faith and honour require us to. take, which may entail large expenditure ? And how could we meet that expenditure with our present financial pros £l,3oo,ooo a year , an d which, when once , pros pects ? We are about to take off duties rwehmiicthtedprocdouuclde never be renewed. (Hoar, hear.) If the same wants which. occurred last year should arise in the next year, we shall not only have to restore the penny of the income-tax we are now' about to remit, but we must add another penny to replace the void caused by the remission of the paper duties. 1e ct Therei o n i ofs neon doubtet xstpressesmischief a a (Hear, hear.)

So when you remove duties on con sumption you may, in replacing it by direct taxation, de feat your own intention. (Hear, hear.) We do not take into any account the probabilities of war—Nve do not want to go to war with any country, and I hope no country wilt go to war with us. But how do we stand, even for a time of peace ?
