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 he 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. It 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 sucks 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 aroso 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 ho 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 now submitted to their lordships. (Hear, hear.) Lord CRANWORTH said the maxim of law was that of common sense and policy—mob/1k sequentur personam. Where you were domiciled your property was disposed of according to the law of the place—but no country would 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 opening others—but as a great practical evil had to bo dealt with, it was desirable that some remedy should be found. Ac cording to the first clause of this bill, an inhabitant living in any of our colonies might make a will according to the law of Scotland or England, and it would 12e valid. He would give no opposition to the second reading. Lord KINGSDO WN having briefly replied, Lord WENSLEYDALE withdrew his amendment, and the bill was read a second time. POST-OFFItE SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDE ItLEY, 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 21 per cent. for deposits. He begged to move the second reading of the bill. Lord MON TEAGLE said he was old 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 £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 towns 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 kicd 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 now banks as compared with the old ones. Lord REDESDALE 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 ho quite apprehended that it would eventually bo necessary to abandon it, in conse quence of the inextricable confusion it would create. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the bill could not be carried out except with great cost and labour, and that in a direction for which the Post-office was not originally created. Ile 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. Tho bill was one of very great kepi - tame, and he trusted it would be most carefully considered before receiving their lordships' E anction. (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 a third time, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the insertiot of words to the effect, that before a new trial was granted the Lord Chancellor should sec the lunatic. The mo.ion was agreA to, and the bill was read a third halo and passed. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. THE BUDGET. On the motion for going into committee of ways and means, Mr. T. BARING rose and was received with loud 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. gene 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 t o express opinions which may be quite erroneous, but which J sincerely entertain. (Hear.) I am happy that wo live at a time when experience has shown that a budget maybe modified or rejected without any change in the position of the Ministry. (Hear.) I am glad that we have seen budgets withdrawn and fresh ones in troduced. We have seen taxes remitted, or taxes the remis 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 unfortunate 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 beg 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:' am aware that I 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. gentlemen on both sides. I assure the house I have n ot the presumption to attempt 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 notstherefore advert to the commercial treaty with France—that is an accomplished fact, and I heartily join, as I thnk 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 feelings 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 entertainei 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 being leap. year and the other having two Sundays instead of one. (Laughter.) In the firat place, we all know that, as regards one 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 godsend the abolition of Sun days would be to the Aachequer, (Laughter,) The right ` hon. gentleman says every day brings £100,600 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. (Hoar.) 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 the question whether great importations are always a test of national prosperity ; 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 theta 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. (Hear.) 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 he said belonged to a previous year, although it had all still to be 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 satisfactory 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 Exches quer-bonds which had been promised to be paid off. All this was done by the sanction of Parliament, and I do not cenauretberight hon. gentleman in any way forthe cou rse 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 laeen 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 are 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 insured 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 not 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 they are matters which suggest doubts as to the future ex penditure of the country. 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 he 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 trado in the manu facturing districts, and loss in the agricultural districts, as may materially diminish the revenue of this country ? I do not make any charge against the right hon. gentleman, but ho 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 a 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 boa. 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 wo 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 yot struck, and we may be called upon to pay a good deal more than we at present expect." We , aro told we are to have the £750,000 clear, but I do not clearly understand that point. The noble lord opppsito 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 taela which the Chinese Government has engaged to pay, about £650,000 is appli cable in the first instance to the payment of claims of Bri tish merchants. (Hear.) If only £250,000 has been re ceived, there is still £400,000 tc pay before the British Ex chequer can get a single' penny. Now, is China such a speedy paymaster ; can she pay so rapidly ? In Lord Elgin's despatch of Oct. 2.5 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 cent. 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 froxn 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 Id. 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 £1,330,000 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 whieh 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 be sure of it P W d o all trust that if war does break out, from it ; but are there not in such cases measures opre u c a a t to we may be f excep u e precau tion, measures which good faith andhonFour require d how could take, which may entail large expe nditure ro ue s ; pec we tmst We et are e pe a n b d o i u tar t teowittakheouorff pdruetsieenst once emitted could which financ i a :rod wants ' which next year, we shall not restore the penny of the income-tax we are now 4 n e l ; 3 e o r o ee ooa renewed.y y ear, and (li e ar wh i ch , hea the n f the same i have to must add another penny to replace only y urred last year should arise in about to revolt, but we the void caused by the remission of the paper duties. (Hear, hear.) We must again have recourse to an increase of direct taxation, and whatever may be the comparative merits of direct and 'indirect taxation, it must be borne in mind that direct taxation might be pushed to such an extent as to become not only unpopular, but impossible. (Hear.) I cannot help recollecting that in 1853 the income tax was 7d. in the pound, and in 1860 it was 10d. with a forced col lection of an extra payment in that year. (Hear, hear.) There is no doubt that direct taxation carried bey on d its ordinary limits presses on the power of consumption. And there is another mischief about it. The house will recollect that the income tax during the war was 16d. ; and by a vote of this house it was, in April, 111R7 ---.) reduced to 9d. The year 1857 was a most calamitous year for all the inte rests of the country. Money was at one time 10 per cent., and yet, I believe, the revenue from all other sources was wonderfully increased. 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—we do not want to go to war with any country, and I hope no country Will go to war with us, But how do we stand, even of peace ?
