~, that I didnot know in the month of March what would be the state of trade,- what would be the character of the harvest, what . would-be the state of Europe in the latter part of the year. (Hear, hear.) The right „bon. gentlemen aays that these things have nothing to do with the matter. Nothing to doe with. the. Matter ! Nothing to do with the rate of, interest upon Exchequer-bills. Why, if the rigeit hon. gentlemanewill investigate papers relating to the finances of the country, • let him • investigate some other papers: Let him ask himself what was the state of all these symptothe - which deteirtnined•the condition of trade—which determined the staterof-the money - market at the beginning of last year; and what was the state of trade and of the money market at the latter part of last year. Let him ask himself what was the state of the bullion in the Bank of England in January, and what was its condition in September ; what was the price of corn in January, and what was the price in Oct. and Nov.;. 'What was the rate of - discionit . charged• by the Bank in' Jan., ' and what MS the rate chargedin . Sept. InSept. (Hear.) I have not by me the returns as to what tee rate of discount was in Jan. I am quoting from memory; but I believe I am correct in say . ing that it was 2e per cent. • [An Hon. MEMBER-2 per cent.] Well, certainly,. not more -than .2e, In Sept. the rata of dis count had advanced to 5 per cent., -and the right hon. gentle-. man, forsooth, wants to make me responsible for this increase., (Hear.) But the right hon. gentleman who thus passes by facts which, ought to be plain as the sun at noon day— . 'Mr. DISRAELI—I only referrcdto the fall in the price of Consols. ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—The right hon. gentleman shall have that subject by and by. The right hon. • gentlereati made no reference to the increased rate of discount Charged by the. Bank of England, to the rise in the price of coin, to the state of the bullion in the bank ; but he does re , fer to the 'operation with reepeet td Exchequer-bills, as if it had been is mere freak on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, charging upon me the additional expense he said it entailed upon the country. But, sir, the right hon. gentleman is not correct in his facts. The right honourable gentleman is not right in saying that there was any loss at all in consequence of what 'I did in respect to Exchequer ; nor does he' give a fair or true 'representation of the case as it regards the premiums upon these Exchequee-bills. Why the right hon.. gentleman, it may be observed, after telling us whatieas the rate of premium upon Exchequer . bills before the interest was reduced—instead of giving us the rate of - premium just after the interest was reduced, when it Would haVe been alaiepeesumption that the reduction aed ' nothing else was - Operating-epasses on to the month 'of May,. while the reduction was announced in the inOnth-of February. ,(llear.) He says the preinfuni in May was down to 2s. ; and so it Was e other circumstances were then in operation. But my justification is this' with 'regale' to the reduction of the rate of interest :—No annualsechriey ought to bear a high premium. (Hear:) It is an absurdity upon the face of et that an annual security the whole interest upon which amounts to 455, should be at a premium of 60s. I mean, pf course, that the holder of th e secur ity h as on l y th e guarantee that he will be paid his rate of interest for 12 months, and, therefore, if at the expiration of that time he is paid off at par, he gets 15s. less than no interest at all. (Hear.) This absurd state. of things —a state of things which ties up the hands of the Government;-maker. . it impossible:for them to , redeem these securities with the 'balances which are then in the Bank. The only, waY, :by: Which I could reduce the amount .of Mile:tided debt'evae by bringing Exchequer-bills to . something like a reasonable premium. lam sorry I have not now ;before me the statement' 'which I had in my hands a few days ago, showing the price of Exchequerbille after the re duction ; but, speaking from.memory, I think the right hon. • . gentleman will Ape thee for two months after the reduction the premium upon Exchequer-bills ran between 10s. and 20s. ,The right hon.. gentleman. h as s t a t e d th a t th ere h as b een a loss to the country Of 3(1;000/. ' and what does he mean by that, statem en t I - He means to make me responsible for the occurrences of thOse' Various' circumstances which' rendered It necessary to 'raise the rate of, interest, quite forgetting. 'J r ' that, although he accuses me of causing . that result, he might,' ‘';" by referring to what had taken place in France, where there f is no imprudent and rash . Chancellor of the Exchequer, have observed that the same. cantles which rendered it necessary to • raise the rate of interest .in this country had operated there •. th even ineee effect, , Well, sir, the right hon. gentleman a said Wit there has been aloes to the country of 36,000 e, tebiehld have been Very glad if that statement had been explained; for it is, I confess, to me a perfect mystery. (Hear, hear.) I say more —I 'say that the right hon. gentleman is completely in error—(cheers)—and I say that, notwithstand ing the unfavourable circumstances of the autumn, and not-_ withstanding the doubling of the rate of interest, which those circumstances brought about, there has been on the whole a ' !eying effected. In the year 1852-53 the amount paid was 46 7,0061„ while in the year 1853-54 it has only been 347,0001., . and that is the state as regards the Exchequer. The right' hon. geetleman says that I persisted in acting contrary to the' warnings, of eve,ry kipd addressed - to me by all the .wise men in Parliament, although he hemiself was too modest to offer his advice. I will admit that ieveral, hon. gentlemen did entertain doubts of the success of the plan, and the words bf the hon. member foe Huntingdon turned out right. The right hon. gentleman spoke, however, as if I had acted contrary to . the whole course of public. opinion, -both' in and out of the , house. But what were the facts ?. Why, the whole course of , the criticisms.ef the right hon. gentleman and his friends, at that time, were 'against the terms I was offering to the public creditor ; 'they declared over and over again that they were • too good for the public creditor, and against the interests Of the public. (Hear, hear.), Was no such opinion expressed In this house ? Why; whom do I 'see opposite. I see the . J sl id'us 4 chAtes of the 'right hon. gentleman, the honourable end learned member for Suffolk (Sir F. Kelly), who recreated his powerful mind with all manuar of facts and fancies as to the bargain I was proposing,. -Did he not enjoy the confidence and Possess the sympathy of .the right hon. gentleman;? Did he not fairly exhaust the English vocabulary, and drag • 'out of it every epithet which its resources could - furnish, in . order to , reprehend, me for the- extravagant, the monstrous, • .the the wasteful, ,the. • utterly incredible project of offering aguarantee . O ; gi per cent. for forty years ? (Hear, hear.) T he ' right, hon. ` gentleman says he_ has been denidd , the Itheity 'of tliscussine these subjects. No, sir, I have net . dtiiiea it td au& x• never will, So long as ho uses the liberty as lee has clone tonight. (Cheers.) Do not, however,, let me ley all the'responsibility Of the course then taken upOn the iffimilders of the hen. and leathed gentlemat the member' f Orilauffolk. To do him justice, I must say he never shrunk , from his opinions, though I. differed fr om him at the time; and the house will do. ; me the justice to remember that , never held !oue 'any great .expectation of immediate results. (Hear, hear; But what wag done, by the right hon. gentle leen himself 1 - ; What, did, he say ? Did he tell me that the scheme Wet& fail, because the public creditor would not ac cept it I No, sir! He saysithis was not a simple error of mine, but that it was an error in defiance of all advice and • all warning given hi the course of the diseuseiou. And holy does he make out that case 1 He says e that in December the Price of Consols was 1014; This was' when Lord Derby's governeneut went out. Consols, he says, went down directly afterwarde ,le per cent.; and I thought it was great modesty On the,part of. the right hon. gentleman that he did not at tempt, at this period, to join together pause and effect, and to state, at' once. that the fall took place because Lord Derby's Goveriement Were out (A leugh.) lam so ~however, to 6 .1) that this' very - plain stattment of the right hon. gentle fn susceptible of frd edsy explanation, to 'which lam Under the necessity of begging his attention. His case was . tiliet-:.-itiethe month of beeember the price of 100 1 . Consols Ras 1014 ; and in. the month' of February, when Parlia ment met, the price of Consols was 99 and a fraction.; ' ( ( that, consequently, was a decrease of fully 1e 'per- cent. (near, hear.) Now, , did it never occur to the right hon. gen-- . tleraan to. ask himself whether anything had ever happened lir the `'meantime:- ' (Hear.) lam aline it Ought to have done. He quotes ,the price, of Consols at the end of De- . camber at 101,}'; lieppened on the 'sth of *January . to' thei lidders 'potialee 'Why, litpon the sth of January riet4;ed Ir, 10e., tlite half-yearly interest, the precise iiraceint, br tie&rlyeice by which the price had fallen. (Hear, • • leite r ) . There wits; however, 'a greet deal of discussion in this' lonise Obuithe probability of_ the 'permanent lowness of the rate Of interest. I.need not remind the house, because the house well 'remembers theni, of the positive opinions on this , . Subject of illa hon. and' learned , member for Suffolk. I was • never bold 4tough to give any opinion upon . that subject. When I brOught.forward my proposal I did not venture to follhd anything so-unstable as anYppinions of my own as to the permanent rate of Interest. I founded it upon the fact that'there 'appeared to be e state of public feeling which Would secure such aitemount of agrecnient upon the plan es' Would make'tliii - eiPeiiment worth tryin g . Any gentleman Who mill peed theestatementi made at thetime 'will find that that is their scope a.ud_stradne But the right hon. gentleman Who now comes forward to , show ,up my weakness and frail-' . ties, hati he never deleit'with this subject of ,the permanent levniess olio rate of interest? , Yes, sir, he dealt with it in Dteenibei e(Hear, hear.):' In December he spoke of inereas • lug arid - confirming the credit Of this country in consequence of the'discovery of gold. He' said, -" But, .sir; although the. . Tate of profit depends upon the rate of wages, that is not the Only elethent in this 'great, question. There is another ele ment stillnioreitiportant in its solution, and that is the rate. cf - hiteeteste 'I ihaintain that it has not only given activity to commerce, but that it has, influenced . the commercial opera trona i f thhe country to an extent whichno other article could have "exercised. I saythat the discovery of gold, considering the currency, which we possess, has established credit in this Country in a thaimei'which no political economist could ever have imagined. ' I say that it has increased and 'confirmed credit inthis country, and that increase and 'confirmation of credit has;'Of idurse, proportionably increased the dmploy • scent of the people. It would seem to 'be mere blind and ob stinnte prejudiCe' to shut' our eyes to that conclusion. But there is another. question ,to be considered in 'regard to our prosperity at thie moneent, and that is, will the present low • rate of interest last ? I hope it will. 'Me opinion is—though it is, Perhaps, imprudent in ens now to volunteerit—my opinion is,- occur—and I need not say that that Whatever imprudences may I:deprecab6. there', hot, notwithstauding some Imprudences— , .tele - eiresent rate of interest will mainly continue:" Such were the vatitinations of the - right holiontable gentleman —of him • who 'reproaches me in this house to-night for not having fore-- '.Caen 'what Would happen six or eight menthe before it 'oc curred, andfor not thinkfifg the state of polities anything ; and what will be thought of him who, considering nee respoh , , nible for reducing the rate Of interest, prophesied himself that the then low rate of interest was to be "mainly permanent ?" (Rear.) That was in Deceinber, That was before the fall of t. 1 4 Per cent. in Consols. But, sir, I ant now about to quote Sonae language used by the • right hon.• 'gentleman 'at another time, in the midst of the very discussions on this abominable bill of mine, finding fault with ree e -for what ? Not for dis • lathing the money market with-experiments whichmust prove • . abortive.--not for proposing a scheme calculated to meet the difficulty of the case in my view, though ho might not agree with, me---but still, on the old doctrine that the rate of in • terest wan too high. (Hear.) What was the speech of the right hon. gentleman? He gave a long display of all the magnificent reductions in the interest, of the national debt,' • from Walpole dowuweads, and said that all our reductions amounted only to the contemptible sum of 600,0001., upon ' 500,000,000/. of debt....-This was the argument of the right honourable gentleman; but it went upon the doctrine—the very opposite and contradictory doctrine to that which he has broached to-night—the doctrine that the terms offered were ' both extravagant to the public creditor and unjust to the na tion. He ".If the committee agreed to the conversion of the whole of 506,000,0001., under the second resolution, he • must remind the committee that the 'profit .of the country would b u nt little exceed 550,0001. a year; and they should well consider whether, for such an object as reducing the interest of the debt by 500,000/. sterling, they would do right to fix the rate of interest at 2} per cent. for more than forty years." It was too bad a bargain - for the public to fix the rate of Merest at 24 per cent. and give them a guarantee of forty -years. That was the opinion of the right honourable gentle-. „ l uali—(hear,.hear)--tbat is.his opinion- still. Very well ;if it •in so, let us know how the matter stands. If he holds to the - °Pillion, let him enjoy it; but if be thinks that 24 per cent. was too high a rate of interest, with a guarantee of forty Years, do not let him now find fault with me for having done wrong to the stockholder by offering those terms. This state anent was made on the Bth of April, long after the fall in cellsols. (sear, hear.) The right honourable gentleman aeYe the bill was pitied in such breathless haste that a great error was committed in it—that it was found that the parties could not get their money, 'and that the new bill was pushed through with only twenty members in this house. The right h ° llo ll.rable gentleman surely has been indulging in the pewee ful faculty of his iniaginatioo. He may be right; is not for she to dispute what he asserts so confidently ; but all I can say is, that the whole of that strange assertion is entirely 1 caw to me. I am-not aware that in consequence of the haste "itki IThicll the bill Trats pabied erro r WU committed, Which I 4 4 - 4. r • ' " • • VENT N ARCII . 7 - 1 IG. B5 4 T N L 0 NI..D-01c, - ' U.E.S DAY E second bill that they related to two most important points which were overlooked in the first.bill. _ _ • The OR of the EXCHEQUER said the clauses in ,the . second bill referred to by the hon. gentleman were introduced without his consent, and against the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, who thought they were un necessary. Sir F. KELLY then rose, and strongly impressed upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer the necessity of his stating whe ther,- in. the transactions. for the conversion .of stock, under the bills of last year,. there had been a gain or a, loss to the Country, and if a loss, to what extent. He (Sir F. Kelly) was of opinion that there had been a loss to the public of 700,0001. or 800,0001., which would not have occurred if the Chancellor ''of the Exchequer had listened to the warnings given last year, he would not say by himself, !but other gen tlemen, and especially the hon. member for Huntingdon, when the funds were falling, and had stayed his hands in the operations he was then carrying on. In the creation of the New stock in substitution of the South Sea Stock, which was about to be discharged, the right hon. gentleman had an op portunity of savin g 100,0001. a-year on the interest of the public debt. .Had he done so ? The right hon. gentleman had saved to the country some 15,0001. a-year. But it had been at the expense of from 18 to 25 per cent. lost by every holder of stock who had exchanged into the'new stock. He pledged himself to bring the whole question under the consi deration of the house, and to show that by that transaction the Government was a loser of nearly 800,0001. • Mr. HILDYARD !expressed a hope that the Government would not fall into the errors which Government fell into during the last year. He did pot think that France, would accept a subsidy, but we might have other allies that would, and they all knew that the state of the Austrian finances was such that she would 14 very likely to ask for a subsidy. He hoped Government would state that under no circumstances would they subsidise any nation. Mr. DRUMMOND said he trusted that, among all the ways'and means by which they might carry .on the war, the house would set itself firmly against that of which they had had some dark and ambiguous hints. Ho meant those allusions to tampering with the currency. When they heard gentlemen connected with the banking interest talk of the money market being tight, and of an extension of the paper currency, that meant nothing more .nor less than .a paper shilling. Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had said that Russia had had recourse, to such a ' measure it was a precedent which he trusted would not be followed. He very often heard theni talk in that house about journeymen who wanted to share profits with capitalists, not understanding. Rolitical economy; but he thought a lecturer on politiCal economy would not be altogether useless to that house, for they heard hon. gentlemen talk of money hi circu- - lation.as if it were national wealth; whereas the taxes which had been voted from them were a transfer of a certain amount of beef and mutton from their pockets to the pocket of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ' and the money was nothing' more than the agent by which the transfer took place. The, motion was then agreed to, and the house resumed. SUPPLY.—REPORT. The report of the committee of supply was brought up and agreed to. CHURCH BUILDING CONTINUANCE BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Mr. HADFIELD said the Church Building Commission was appointed in 1818; and a million and half was voted to build churches. The commission had existed for thirty-six years, and it was now proposed to continue them ten years longer. He did not seo what good purpose would be served by that, and he therefore moved that it be read a se4pond time that day six months. The house divided-- For the amendment • 59 Against it Mr. 11ADFIELD gave notice that in eomraittee he should, move that the dttration of the bill be limited to one year. The bill was then read a second time. VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. After a few words, the various clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed.

That was no such thing. ' The amended -bill to which 'the right honourable -gentleman refers, was , a bill for an entirely different purpose. It was introduced to meet the case of a particular set of per sons, who were holders of portions of 'South Sea Stock, with regard to whom it was found that their peculiar case did not . • conie within the provisions of the former act so as to give thent "an optiihx. (Hear.) - The right honourable gentleman here 'seems 'under some hallucination. He passes off a series of facts which have no relation to• each, other. Either he or. I must be 'dreaming to admit: them. I have yet one more, point to deal with. I have dealt with the question, of the rate-of interest 'upon Exchequer-bills—l have dealt with the largerthat h was n schemeewant .tha e t fk Iproposedfianueee in last what y I said of it. ear—andlhope there I recollect saying that it might in its main objects be abor tire. But the right hbnourable gentleman says, I will not make Confession. Why, I have made confession. I told the house so at the close of the last session. My conscience there fore 'IS clear as to this charge of the right hon. gentleman. But, on the other hand," tell the house that so far from there tthhoeugthranitseis tbeieineng aarelowsseuunpdonupotthbeerrepawrtius beof th a e p p r l e a fi n t , ; w b h u e t n a im u n e ss ee ib u le p t e o u s t t be state twraiutheaeptrieecuiese andbarivgeitdbae means e cy t e li f e et p a t u -o u fi g t that profit will be about 13 I 2,000/. a year.. No doubt that, is a very contemptible' sum in the estimation of the right hon. gentleman, who thinks 600,0001. upon 500,000,000/. of debt not a sufficient saving to induce the Chancellor of the Exche quer to give a guarantee of 42 years. I do not pretend to put myself upon a par with the right hon. gentleman, but I do humbly venture to think that it is better. to have a profit of 132,000/. a-year than nothing. Thee we come to the state of the public balances. Here so many fancies spring up in the _ mind and brain of the right hon. gentleman, that it must be . perfectly extraordinary to see one so possessed with bugbears and delusions. He has got it into • his head that the public credit is in an unsound state; he is not satisfied with the price of the Three per Cents. being at 91 in a time of war—a state of public credit unexampled and unparalleled in history. But he gives a hold upon the public creditor; and how ? By re commending that you should borrow 8,000,0001. It was a marvel to me and to some gentlemen near me what the right. hon. gentleman would do. He was to vindicate the liberty of, debate, and he left out of consideration the reason which had. operated upon me in the production, of my plans; and by and by he recommends to me a loan of 8,000,0.00/. of money.. I admit that if I had accepted the proposal of the right hon. gentleman I should have had a loss upon my transactions. But, let me ask, for what purpose is it necessary to have this loan - We do not want it. Nobody wants it. The Bank do . not want it, and there is no pressure on the money Market. At the same time, lam bound to-add, that Ido not . under-- stand the•arithmetic upon which the right hon. gentleman' recommends us to take this loan of 8,000,000/. lle estimates the anticipated balances on the sth 'of ,April at 3,000,0001. have the misfortune to differ from him here; for I estimate them at 4,000,0001.. He estimates the demand upon. the Bank at 10,000,0001, Here again it is my misfortune to differ from the right' honourable gentleman, for I esti mate it at less. And he is still more wrong in another point either in his addition or substraction, whichever it may be. I should have said that, taking;• the advance from the Bank at 10,000,0001., and •the balances at 3,000,000/. or 4,000,000/., the. difference would not be 8,000,0001. But let that pass. The real question is this Are the public balances in such a state as to be in the slightest degree injurious to the credit of the country? I say they are not. The right hon. gentleman asks what will be the amount of the deficiency bills for which we shall have to draw upon • the Bank in the course of the month of Aprilt? Only to-day I made a memo randum upon this subjeet ; but through my own carelessness, anticipating that the question would turn upon the finan-. cial measures of the year rather than have assumed a retro spective character, I left it behind. But lam very near the mark when I say that the demand for deficiency bills upon the Bank during the next quarter, to be chargeable to the public revenue, will be-from 4,000,0001. to' 4,500,0001.; and I have not the slightest reason to suppose that the accommoda-, tion will be anything but convenient at the Bank. If, how ever it should, not be con v enient to the Bank, the power which I shall ask from- the House of Commons to issue a cer tain amount of Exchequer-bills, keeping within the margin of the unfunded debt as it stood last year, will enable me to reduce the amount of the demand. This is the simple state of things. If you ask me whether 4,500,0001. of deficiency bills is an amount which the Government ought to be taking from the Bank quarter after quarter, I say " No." I think it is too much. But if, on the other had, you ask me whe ther it is an amount which, if taken only at a particular period, will give the slightest shake to public credit, , I an swer, unhesitatingly, " No," When I listened to the wind ing-up of the right hon. 'gentleman's outpouring, to the close of all this " sound and fury," I found there was nothing left, because he stated the question to be- really this-whether it is safe and right, in circumstances of emergency, or in any circumstances whatever, for a Government to be under the necessity of making permanently a really large -demand for advances upon the Bank. 1 understand him to say that by these large ad.. vanees he means 6,000,000/. • There is no such demand going to be made. -There is no such demand about to be made. . The demand that is to be made is a demand that can be re- - duced according to the convenience of the bank ; and the right hon. gentleman ought to know that leaving the defici ency bills within a limit is no' operation disadvantageous or disagreeable to the Bank. It is au operation which the Bank, as a banking corporation, considers to fall within its banking business. The right' hon. gentleman, however, seems to have another confusion in his head, for he says,' " You go on ask ing for deficiency bills at a rate that-must raise the rate of interest ow money." ,He seeing to think we are about to ask for less than is worth while— ,Mr.. DISRAELI-Less profitable. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The 'Bank do notthink it a- bad transaction ; and I hope there is no Go vernment which would go to the Bank and ask for bills at less than theii market value, The right hon. gentleman will re collect,that these bills are the subject of-loans, at .rates that are alike on no two, days.' They run out gradually day by day, and run in again day by day ; and the transaction suits the .. convenience of the Bank. Bill-brokers will be found to lend' money, for short periods, at lor 14. per, cent. 'Why? Be cause the securities are left one or two days, and there is a convenieme to all ' parties. These loan re the brokers' de- , ficiency bills; and this is preciselY the basis ,e transaction -between the Government and the Bank. I hop , Sr, that I . have shown that the transactions upon Exchequer bills will not prove to be the bad transactions which the right hon. gentleman has described. I have also demonstrated that the rate of discount ought to have been considered by the right hon. gentleman. • I have also shown that he was, in error as to his statement respecting the object of the bill which was introduced to amend the act which he said, had been hastily passed. Then as"to the loan proposed by the right hon. gen tleman, I ask the house whether they are prepared to saddle the country with debt to the " crack of doom ?"

But I entirely differ from him, being quite sure that the state of the balances will create a very uneasy state of mind. I say the present is net a proper state for the balances in the Exchequer to be in when we are embarking in war, and when the 'Chancellor of the Exchequer, according to his own statement, requires 4,5 0,000?, of deficiency bills. The real point is this—do the committee of ways, and means think, in the preseut state of the country, embarked as we are in what may be a protracted and expensive war, that the balances in the. •Exchequer ought to be in such - a state that habitually the Chancellor of the Exchequer is obliged 'to have recourse to, deficiency bills to_ the extent of 4,500,000/. for the quarter? This is the real point. The right hon. gentleman says I had not taken into consideration the circumstances which led to the failure of his plan.: I did take them into consideration ; but' the right hon. gentleman entirely misapprehended what I said. I said I objected to his pursuing his plan at a time when stock was falling and the' Bank was raising its rate ofinterest. I com plained that he was- lowering the rate of interest upon the public securities when the B ulk was raising its rate of .into rest.' find from the returns which I hold in my hand; that the 'gain from the reduction of the interest on Exchequer bills has been 45,5811., while the loss has been 82,480/., lead ing a • balance loss of 35,899/. (Elear, hoar.) The right • honourable -'gentleman may 'divert for a• moment the atten tion of the committee from the important point of the ba- , lances in the Exchequer' by light criticisms upon 'isolated topics, which are soon forgotten, but the state of the ba lances is a subject which must occur and recur to the house • again and again during the session, and I repeat it is not a proper state for the Exchequer to be in, especially in a, ' time of war, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should, be carrying on the public business habitually by deficiency bills, according to his own statement, to the amount of four and a half millions. • (Hear, hear.) What is the real point before the house I The right hon. gentleman misunderstood: me when he said I proposed a loan of eight millions. What I said was that the right hon. gentleman, appeared to have paid eight millions out of the Exchequer, and certainly I did think the house:would be. perfectly willing to give him every as sistance they possibly could in order to enable him to carry on the business of the country upon real balances in the Ex chequer, and not by habitually borrowing' money from the Bank of England. The right hon. gentleman says he has no difficulty in borrowing money from the. Bank. If that be so, I can only say that the Bank of England is a very good banker, and if it will carry us through the war, as the right hon: gentleman seems to anticipate, the expenses of the con test will be much less than what we have been led to expect. But, in my opinion, the right hon. gentleman will find, as af fairs proceed, that it will be impossible for the Bank of England to sustain our finances by a system of continual The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The right hon.- gentleman says I wag wrong in stating that there was a saving of 20,000/. upon the reduction of the interest on Exchequer ' bills, for on the contrary that there he proved from my own returns was a loss of upwards of 36,0001. lam sorry to the say there certainly was an error in the s tat e m en t I ma d e t o committee when I said there was a gainof 20 0001 the error I committed • was in underrating the gain. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI-=Give us an explanation. The CHANCELLOR, of the E XCHEQUER—My statement is proved by the returns before us. The of cost is 82,480/. ; tbe column column of increase Mr. DISRAELI—What - o f reduction is 120,000/. your first item in the is latter column? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER: -35,0001. Mr. DISRAELI-That is a redu c ti on th at I - made. You are not entitled to it. 7u:on - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It is a dc tio m n i n .. p n on iB t ß h A e E ilte i res y t e o s f ; E a x r e e h d e li q c u t e i r o - n fibillsoin to 1141 each bill which I effected In 1852. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I do not know what the right hon. gentleman means. What I state is slm pIY this : that the right hon. gentleman is mistaken in saying that there was a loss of 36,0001. upon the E xc h e quer -bill transaction in 1853. And the plain statement I make is, that the whole charge which will have to be paid by the country during 1854; in respect to Exchequer-bills, is less either b y 20,0001., or by a larger amount, than ,the whole charge that was paid by the country in 1853. (Hear.) I hope that is intelligible. Mr. DISRAELI—I must say a few words in justice to my self. According to the right hon. gentleman, I have stated that his financial arrangements of last year with respect to Exchequer-bills have occasioned a loss to the country of about 36,0001. He challenges the accuracy of my computation ; but in order to make out' his ease he is obliged to take into account a sum of 35,0001., being the gain upon a reduction effected in June, 1852. hat reduction was effected under my advice, when I had the honour of holding the office of thaneellor of the Exchequer, an d I cer tainly do not think the right hon. gentleman is entitled to take credit for it, and to set it off against the loss which has resulted from his own operations. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I can assure the right hon. gentleman that the case shall bo treated simply upon the merits of• the alterations proposed under my sanc tion, and that no attempt shall bo made to deprive him of the credit which is justly his due.

There has been little stir on board the fleet to-day. In fact, the ships have not been visible from the shore all day, owing to the prevalence of a thick fog, which has en veloped every object a few yards from the land. This came on yesterday afternoon very suddenly, and with it a complete change in the temperature. The fleet has been augmented this morning by the Blenheim, 60, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, from this harbour, and there may be others from other ports. We are happy to state that the whole crew of the Prince Regent, 90, have been alto wed to follow their Admiral and Captain into the Neptune, to the great satisfaction of all parties. Some import ant alterations have been made in the commands since our yesterday's report. Second-class Commodore Martin, late of the Duke of Wellington, is appointed to hoist a first-class pend an t i n th e L eopard, 18, paddle-frigate, Cap tain G. Giffard, and to take command of the paddle-steam squadron. Seco n d- c l ass C ommodore Talbot, Commander in-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station (ordered home), is to transfer his pendant to the Nile, screw, 91, Com mander Booth, in the place of Commodore Martin. Capt. Mansell will command the Meander, 44-gun frigate, vice Talbot. Captain Gordon (late commanding the screw steam corvette Encounter) is appointed flag-captain to Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The Neptune, 120, we have no doubt will now be ready in a day or two ; the Caisar, 91, will be completed by the dockyard department by the 18th ; the Valorous, 16, by the 13th ; and the Odin, 16, by the end of the month. The dockyard men are working " night and day" to accomplish these results. No day of sailing is named yet; indeed, it i s no t expected any move will be made until Friday, when her Majesty and the Court are expected to steam through the fleet on their way from Gosport to Osborne. Several hundreds of vi s it ors have come to Portsmouth to-day, principally excursionists from Brighton, to see the fleet, but the impenetrable state of the atmosphere has been a sad drawback to such as did not like to take a boat. These are rare times for the water men ; boat-hire is at a high premium, and the wherry owners and others are reaping a rich harvest. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 6. Through the activity of Mr. Moore, foreman of the ship wrights of the Devonport dockyard, the repairs of the screw steamship Duke of Wellington, 131, were sufficiently advanced yesterday at noon to allow of the lower shores being knocked away, and 12 feet of water admitted into the dock. At 5.20 this morning she was removed into the basin, and at 920 she passed through the lock into Hamoaze, where she is moored in the position usually occupied by the guardships in ordinary. It is possible that she may go into the Sound to-morrow. While in dock her copper was examined thoroughly, and an additional streak placed round her. The bulwarks have been cut away on each aide of her catheads, to allow the play of an additional gun, which is to be fitted on a traversing platform forward • this gun has a 10-inch b ore , an d w ill carry a 68 -pound shot . ' The presence of a large concourse of persons on board the Duke of Wellington on Saturday caused considerable diffi culty in placing her in proper position in dock, and this difficulty was increased by the crowds that surrounded the workmen on shore. A third detachment of the first battalion of the Ist Royals is expected to arrive here this afternoon. WOOLWICH, MARCH G. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Levinge's troop of Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Fox Strangwayes, Captain .Paynter's field-battery, Bth battalion ; Captain Fitzmayer's field-battery, 3d battalion ; Captain Thomas's field-battery, 3d battalion, with camp equipage, trenching tools, and every requisite for war service ; Captain Baker's reserve field-battery, and Captain Anderson's small arm or mounted brigade for Minis rifles, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, assembled at half-past 9 o'clock a.m. to-day in heavy marching order, and pro ceeded to the Common, where they were drawn up, the Royal Horse Artillery and field-batteries from south to north, and. the small arm brigade, with 40 ammunition waggons, store-waggon, and armourer's forge, from west to east, the whole forming two sides of a square. Captain Barker's reserve battery was drawn up on foot in the rear of the flagstaff, with their camp blankets. Lord Raglan, attended by Lord Burghersh and several of the officers of his staff, arrived at the garrison here at half-past ten o'clock, where he was received by Lieut.- General Sir Hew D. Ross, Colonel E. C. Whinyates, Colonel Cator, Lieut.-Col. R. Hardinge, Lieut.-Col. Browne Willis, Lieut.-Col. John Bloomfield, Lieut.-Col. Lake, Lieut.-Col. Wingfield, Brigade-Major Bingham, Captain Riddell, Brigade-Major Adye, and a number of officers of the corps. His Lordship arrived on the Common at 11 o'clock, and commenced his inspection by going round each gun detach ment, and minutely inspecting both men and horses, and their appointments. Afteillie inspection, which- lasted nearly an hour, the Master-General, with his staff, proceeded to th e usua l sta tion where the flag is placed, and the troop and batteries broke into open column of route and marched past at a walk, which occupied upwards of half an hour. The horses and gun-carriages, with the waggons, would have formed a route-marching line of more than two miles in length. The Royal Horse Artillery have received orders to ;hold them selves in readiness to embark at Woolwich dockyard on Thursday next. His Lordship left the garrison shortly before 1 o'clock, and returned to London with his personal staff by the 1 o'clock up-train from dockyard station of the North Kent Railway. . A thick fog prevailed during the whole period of the inspection on the Common to-day, but it partially cleared off as the troop and batteries commenced marching past. Major Young's Company (12th battalion) joined head quarters here from Portsmouth on Friday last, on being relieved by Captain Adair's Company (sth battalion), from Leeds. One Second Captain, 1 Lieutenant, 5 non-commissioned officers, and 36 gunners of. Captain H. A. Turner's com pany (Ist battalion), have been placed under orders to pro ceed to Pembroke, for duty at that station. Two hundred and thirty-eight recruits have joined head quarters hero for service in tke Royal Regiment of Artil lery within the last three. Twenty of these arrived yesterday afternoon from Aberdeen. Owing to the in creased number of men in the garrison, the school-room at the west end of the barracks is to be fitted up with beds until the troops embark for service in the East. Tho gun, shed in the roar of the regimental school is also being fitted up by carpenters for horses, as a large number aro expected in garrison to embark with the next division of five batteries. A notice has been posted up at the factory ticket-office at Woolwich dockyard to the effect, that any factory workman who has been at sea as engineer may be et once appointed acting first class engineer afloat, with the pay and allowances of that class, and when not required for the navy will be again taken back into the factory. In consequence of this notice five workmen volunteered and were appointed to-day. The engineers of the Royal Navy employed in the port tugs and river vessels aro to bold themselves in readiness for immediate sea-service, and mon are ordered to be se lected from the factory a t Woolwich to work the engines of these vessels. CHATHAM, MARCH 6. z• The Euryalus, 50, screw steam-frigate, Captain George Ramsay, having been reported complete in the engineer and shipwright departments on Saturday last, immediate orders were issued for her to proceed on Sunday morning to Sheerness, and take in a full stock of coals, and also shells, and other munitions of war, preparatory to joining the Baltic fleet. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. The 63d Regiment —one of the next for war service—has had draughted into it over 250 of the recently enrolled le vies. The new men are stated to be of a superior class, and have been admitted into the first and second classes of the regimental school. A company from the north is hourly expected in Dublin, when the corps of 850 strong will be ready to embark in the next transport troopship that may arrive in Kingstown harbour. The 21st Fusiliers are also prepared to embark at an hour's notice. The 14th Regi ment, at present stationed in Limerick, expect to embark from that port on Friday next for service in the East. The Holyrood (screw steamer) is being fitted up for the accommodation of the troops Recruiting in the Cork dis trict is progressing most favourably, and a sufficient num ber of men are entering daily, so as to remove all fears of there being any remarkable scarcity of recruits for active service. Orders have arrived directing the commanding officers of the 39th and 89th Regiments, lying in Cork, to enrol 100 additional recruits to be added to the strength to each regiment previous to departure on active service. 200 of the depot of the 92d (Gordon) Highlanders, stationed in Galway, have volunteered to the 79th, now under orders for foreign service. A still more marked instance of military ardour occurred at Limerick last week. An order had been received in that garrison for volunteers from the 7.. d for the 42d and 79th Highlanders ; when the commanding-officer announced the fact upon parade, the whole depot of the 72d to a man eagerly volunteered their services forthwith, in the most laudable spirit of devotion to their Queen and country. The Galway Packet states that an order has just been received by Captain Richardson, directing that 24 of the Coastguard, who are to be selected from the different stations in that district, are to proceed on the 9th inst. to Plymouth, with a view of being draughted into vessels of war for active service. If a like proportion be observed in all the stations through this country, from 700 to 1,000 efficient and well-trained men would be obtained for naval service. The men thus selected will receive the rations and pay of able seamen while they are engaged in the naval service, in addition to their cur rent pay in the Coast-guard service. They will be thus enabled to lay by their income as Coast-guards, or ffrcs priate it to the use of their families during the Period of their engagement in the navy. THE GUARDS, ON THEIR VOYAGE. Gratifying accounts have been receive d from Gibraltar of the health and spirits of all on board the Ripon. from Cowes Roads was made in five days, wnes, udereth er. the most The favourable circumstances of wind a arrangements made by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany for the comfort a nd convenience of the officers and men b a d given the highest satisfaction. During each morning the mon were exercised at t h e Minie rifle practice by firing at a target hanging from the end of one of the ship's yards, while the officers fired with revolver pi s t o l s. Bot h w eapons are said to answer admirably. The afternoons and evenings, after leaving the colder latitudes, were de voted to singing and dancing, the festiviti es o f t h e day being usually wound up with " God save the Queen," in which the military, as well as the ship' s crew, joined with enthusiasm. On the afternoon of the 27th ult., when within a few hours sail of Gibraltar, the Ripon passed a French man-of-war, the crew of which cheered the Eng lish colours heartily. On the same evening a Russian- Finlander, having a dismasted Dutch wreck in town, was fallen in with. It is worth while to observe that the Orinoco, Royal Mail-steamer, which left, port nearly at the same time with the Ripon, having the battalion of the Coldstream Guards on board, kept in sight almost during the whole run. At Gibraltar, where the Ripon stopped a few hours to coal, the Orinoco passed, and proceeded on her voyage to Malta. Owing to the quarantine regulations none of the officers were permitted to land at Gibraltar—a circumstance which occasioned much disappointment among those who were not previously aware of the regu lations which still continue to be enforced at the Rock. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam-packet Company's ship Indus arrived at Gibraltar, on her homeward voyage, just as the Ripon came into the bay, and has brought on the English letters.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. At intervals in the course of settling the accounts con nected with the recent meeting at Liverpool, business on coming events was carried on with considerable briskness. The movements of most interest and importance were the return of the Derby favourite, Autocrat, to 6to 1, taken to 2001.: the improved position assigned to Dervish, and the support which was given to Canute. So strongly, indeed, did the tido of favour flow in upon Canute, that from 1,000.t0 10 laid three times at the commencement, scarcely half the odds were obtainable at the close. In the city, 12 to 1 had been taken freely about Dervish. King Tom was backed at 7 to 1 and 13 to 2, and the odds quoted against Wild Huntsman were taken in the aggre. gate to 1351. The betting on the Handicap Races was for the most part to small sums, Lerrywhout and Feversham were in good demand for the Dancaster Handicap Stakes, and Ariosto, Royalist, and Lamprocles, for the Great Metro politan.

He was a native of Wales, having been born on the 21st of October, 1786, at Cuerhyn, in Carnarvonshire. He entered the army in the year 1803, serving with much credit, until the events of 1815 gave a peace to Europe that has lasted nearly 40 years. Long before his death Sir John was placed on the retired list of the Royal Artillery, Sir John Conroy was peculiarly fitted for the career on which he entered when he became Equerry to the late Duke of Kent, his wife being Woman of the Bedchamber to the Duchess, in this capacity he continued till the Duke's death, when he was appointed Comptroller of the Household to the Duchess, which office he held till the accession of her present Majesty. On retiring from Court, he was re warded with a baronetcy. He received at different times several foreign orders of knighthood. Sir John not only inherited property in Roscommon, but pur chased land both in Wales and in Berkshire. Sir John's chief domicile of late has been at Arborfield, near Reading. SERIOUS COLLISION ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORK SHIRE RAILWAY.—WIGAN, Monday.—This morning, a few minutes after seven o'clock, an alarming collision occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, near this town, by which about twelve passengers were injured, some of them seriously. It was found that a young woman from Haigh, the wife of one of the men employed in the Haigh foundry, had sustained a very serious injury, her thigh having been broken by the shock. Mr. Schofield, proprietor of the Victoria Hotel, Wigan, was also one of those who received fractures, and besides several broken limbs, other of the passen gers received bruises on the face and in different parts of the body, one man's face being very much cut and disfigured, in addition to which his nose was almost cut off. The injured parties were attended to by Messrs. Fisher and Wright, surgeons, and after some delay the passenger train proceeded. The tender of the other en gine (much damaged) was removed, and the line cleared in about two hours after accident. It was very foggy at the time the collision took place, and the accident e n s t e is . a ttributed to the impossibility o f theengine -ddriersv e rs ing the signals.
