By chapter 117, sec 1, it is enacted that no body corporate, nor any person whatsoever, shall be entitled to redeem any Land Tax, except bodies or persons having an estate or interest in the property Whereon such Land Tax is charged. ,By section 2 it Is enacted that, upon the completion of any con tract, entered into for the redemption of Land Tax. and upon the transfer or payment of the consideration, the property comprised in stick contract shall be wholly freed and exonerated from the Land Tax charged thereon, and from all further assessments, and from any yearly term, rent or rent charge, in respect of any consideration for such contract ißy the Act 42 Geo. 111., chap. 116, it is provided that any person who is, for the tine being, possessed of, or entitled beneficially to, thie rents and profits, but who shall not have the absolute estate or interest in any nianors, lands, tenements, or hereditaments, may sell and , fispose of any such manors, lands, &c., for the purpose of re deeming the Land Tax there n.

So soon as the cheering had subsided, Alderman POTTER commenced the proceedings by stating that this was an event of great importance to Manchester. It was the inauguration of the first public statue that had ever been erected in Manchester, and that statue was de dicated to the memory of a great statesman, who, in the course of his long career, had proved himself the most able, the most enlightened, and the most far-seeing of her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) He had no doubt that the thousands now around him sympathised in their pro ceedings. He was proud to think that the statesman whose memory they had met to honour, connected, as he was, with the trade o f thi s di s t r i ct, had effected the greatest benefit to England which this country had ever experienced. They wanted not proofs of the benefits of Sir R. Peel's measures. They had increased the content ment, the comfort, and the happiness of the millions who inhabited this country. (Cheers.) Other advantages would, indeed, have been small, had not the working classesof the country participated in them. (Cheers.) The members of the Peel Monument Committee were here to resign their trust, and to offer to the citizens the result of their labours, en d th ey t rus t e d th at result would be satis factory to the people, worthy of the town, an d wor thy o f the man they wi s h e d to commemorate. He might recall the deep gloom pervading, not Manchester alone, but the whole kingdom, when that great man was snatched from them. At that moment there was a numerous feeling that some monument should be raised to his memory, and though it was resolved that the subscriptions should be limited in each case to 20 guineas, yet in four days it amounted to upwards of 3,0001. Since then it had been raised to 5,1001. Upwards of 1,000 firms had subscribed, and many of the working classes had contributed their mites. It was to be remembered that Salford and Bury had also raised statues to his memory. He hoped they would have reason to be proud of their own. He had also the gratification of stating that there was present among them the most distinguished pupil and colleague of Sir R. Peel—the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Cheers.) He had already been introduced to the inhabitants of Manchester, and he was sure that the more they knew of him the more they would give him their support. (Cheers.) Sir R. Peel had brought it about that the country could be ruled, not for party motives, but for the public good ; and Mr. Gladstone, in carrying out his principles, had almost de stroyed party feeling in this country, and had accom plished what Mr. Pitt could not do—h e had carried a measure which bid fair to be one of the most lasting bene fit. (Cheers.) He apologised for detaining them so long, and now he hoped they would accept the statue. [The statue was here uncovered amidst the cheers of the crowd, after which Sir John continued.] Such is the result of our labours. I now transfer it, Mr. Mayor, to you, and to the municipality, and hope it w ill prove a lasting memorial of one of the greatest Englishmen that ever lived. (Cheers.) The MA.YOR then addressed the meeting, acceptin the trust reposed in him as th e organ of the corporation. e corporat,ion. As a work of art, he thought it would be a lasting me mento to the skill and genius, of OIL Marshall, the sculp tor. Regarded as a memo r i a l o f him, whose image and superscription it bore, they could never look upon it with out a feeling of thankfulness to Providence for having raised up such a man at such a crisis. (Cheers.) His name, indeed, had secured a resting place in every home whose firesides were cheered and comforted by the mea sures he had carried. (Cheers.) It was a matter of re joicing that they had present with them on this occasion the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had worked with Sir Robert Peel in maturing the measures of free trade, and who was their most active and consistent supporter. (Cheers.) It would ever be a pleasant recoll ec ti on th a t that distinguished statesma hen was present at th e inaugu ration of atrusted would hand down to future ages the feelings of admiration which Manchester entertained for the memory of Sir Robert Peel. (Loud cheers.) PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES. The company then adjourned to the Town-hall, where it was intended that addresses should be presented to Mr. Gladstone from the Town Council, the Chamber of Com merce, and the Commercial Association. The large hall was densely and most inconveniently crowded. The front seats were reserved for the corporation—the platform for the mayor and the heads of the different commercial bodies, and Mr. Gladstone and his friends, who accom panied him from the site of the statue to the Town-hall. About twenty minutes after one o'clock the Chancellor of the Exchequer entered the hall, and was received with loud and reiterated cheers. The mayor took the chair, having Mr. Gladstone seated on his right. Order having been restored, Tho MAYOR addressed Mr. Gladstone, and said it w most cordial satisfaction t o him, in his officiall capaektyn a o r welcome him to Manchester. He beli eve d Manchester was always willing to honour public men, pbriutviantehiws worth they were also anxious to do honour to hie and virtues. (Cheers.) As a statesman, they, had reason _ to honour him for his consistent advocacy of tne principles of free trade, and for having in his present office done much to complete and perfect what Sir Robert Peel began. (Cheers.) The council of Manchester was composed of all shades of political opinion, but ho had great pleasure in stating that the address to him was agreed to unani mously, and he believed it represented the sentiments of all classes in Manchester. The following address was then read by the TOWN CLERK : "To the Right Honourable' William Ewart Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c. "We, the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of the city of Manchester, in council assembled, gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded of bidding you welcome on the oc casion of your visit to the capital of the manufacturing dis tricts, and of assuring you on behalf of the vast population whom we represent, of the high estimation in which you are held for your exemplary private worth and character, and of the gratitude felt for the great public services which you have rendered to your country. " We refer with feelings of admiration to your generous and disinterested efforts in the cause of suffering humanity at a time when you were seeking repose, and travelling in search of renewed health, when you publicly and indig nantly denounced the persecutions with which you became acquainted, and by the eloquence of your pen, and the influence deservedly attaching to your name and character, endeavoured in the face of Europe to compel a recognition of the great principles of civil liberty, and the rights of conscience. (Loud cheers.) "It is a gratification to see amongst us so distinguished a member of the Cabinet, which now watches over the affairs of this empire, and which is happily formed of the most able and experienced statesmen of the age, who with a (patriotic disregard of party considerations, are, as we believe, united together for the purpose of carrying out such measures as shall conduce to the honour of the Crown, and the benefit of the whole community. "As one of the most powerful and successful advocates of the great principles of commercial freedom, which will be for ever identified with the name of Sir Robert Peel, we are glad to welcome you at the time when the first , public monument in this city, erected by the contributions of thousands of our fellow-citizens, is inaugurated to the memory of that able and distinguished statesman with whom you were long associated in office, and who largely , profited by your co-operation and support. " We offer to you our grateful acknowledgments for the comprehensive and consider. t financial scheme which during the last session was introduced by you to the House of Commons, with an eloquence of statement, an enlarged intelligence, and a clearness and force of reasoning which excited universal admiration, and rendered opposi tion futile — (cheers)—and which, as the natural and neces sary result, was triumphantly carried through both houses of the Legislature. • " By the removal of the anomalies and inequalities of taxation, you have given to the fiscal arrangements of this country a consistency and stability which has been hitherto unknown. " We find within your scheme the principle of commer cial freedom fully recognised and largely extended ; and in the abolition of the duty on soap, the most important tax remaining on any article of necessary consumption erased from the statute book. "Therein was embodied, and almost without opposition passed—in the imposition of thetax on successions—(cheers) I trust true that they have united together from the most honourable motives—it is unquestionably true that they I stand associated together in carrying on the public service, 1 disregarding former party distinctions. (Cheers.) Let me say as I go on, that I cannot but attach a peculiar value to the unanimous votes with which these addresses were adopted. Free discussion, perfect liberty of expressing conscientiously formed opinion, is a distinguishing mark, and no small part of the glory and the happiness of this country. But the consequence of free discussion is a free development of difference in opinion conscientiously en tertained ; and the effect of that difference of opinion must surely be to enhance tenfold the value of that unanimous concurrence, without a single exception, which you have been kind enough to announce to ins to-day. (Cheers.) With regard to the Government, it is, as I have said, un questionably true that they have acted together in disre gard of party considerations. I do not believe that the principles of party are about to be extinguished in this country. The machinery of government almost requires some kind of organisation. It is hardly possible we can hope that the nature of man is yet at least so far changed that we can dispense with the associations of party ; and I am bound to say that the associations of party, though un doubtedly there are evils attending them, yet they have materially contributed, and especially of recent years, to maintain a high standard of honour among public men, and to subject their conduct to the operation of those mo tives, which are the best security to you for the proper dis charge o f their public duties. Yet I feel it a true gratifi cation to be able to state that I believe there never was a stood al less upo n lt s Governme n t i.ri the r ecen t anna l s o f this country that party connections, or mo re u p on th e gener support and confidence of the public, than the Go vernment of whi c h I have the honour to form a part. Set et i d n i g y a h s e i d r e a i s a subjectsbelieve n va cr ri e o d us i t has been may given to dtu h o utbte motives of such men as my Lord Aberdeen and Lord John Russell, in having joined hands in December last to carry on the business of the country ; and I am sure I shall be borne out by those who have observed most minutely the course of public business in the House of Commons, when I state it as an unquestionable fact, that the bond of party connection has never been weaker than during the present session ; and yet the confidence of Parliament and the ap probation of the country enabled the Government to carry into law important and vital propositions with greater rapidity and effect than on ordinary occasions. (Cheers.) I may say, and I do not consider it a humiliating con fession, that I doubt whether any Government ever sus tained greater defeats in divisions on questions of secon dary importance—(laughter) —l speak in the presence of the hon. member for Salford and the hon. member for South Lancashire, who will correct me if I am wrong— defeats on secondary questions than the Government of Lord Aberdeen has done. Those defeats manifested the free and unfettered judgments which prevail in the House of Commons. I deeply lamented some of them—sometimes I was nettled by them. (Laughter.) Endeavouring to defend taxes which it was impossible to part with, I was not very well pleased, when I heard the announcement of • the numbers from the chair, to find that the relative forces were not exactly what I could wish them. But it is cer tainly a remarkable consideration that, along with this manifestation of free individual sentiment, and in the ab sence of close party organisation, the present session of Parliament has been surpassed by few in the amount of public work and business which it has seen transacted, and in the measures of the greatest weight and importance which it has seen passed into law. (Loud cheers.) So much on the subject of disregard of party connections, on which you have expressed opinions which are thoroughly in accordance with my own. And may I take the liberty of saying one word more on the subject of political connec tions? It is this. No man can have watched the parlia mentary history of this country within the walls of the House of Commons during the last 20 years—since the time of the passing of the Reform Bill— and failed to see that in the course of that period differences have been softened—opinions have approximated • men of different political creeds h ave l earne d t o think and charit ably of one another; the space which divided this side of thb house from that side of the house has narrowed ; and if I were asked the cause I would say, it is due in great part to the eminent public virtues of Sir Robert Peel —(cheers)—a man who, though the head and chief of a great party, and who knew how to value their confidence, yet when public duty called him did not hesitate to lay upon the altar of his country every advantage and satisfaction which party could possibly have conferred, and followed the strait path of duty, looking neither to the right hand nor tp the left. And I think it is a cause of peculiar plea sure, a matter of great thankfulness to Providen ce , that at a .period w h en we h ave seen Europe maki ng certainly little:progress—perhaps I should say actually receding in the work of political organisation, and in the harmony of classes—that in England we have seen a mitigation of differences taking place and great progress made in works of useful legislation, and an increase among the masses of a feeling of respect for the laws and attachment to the Throne and institutions of the country. (Loud cheers.) You have been pleased—l speak now of the ad dress of the corporation, which I know represents the sen timents of the inhabitants of Manchester—you have been ' pleased to express your confidence that the Government which is now charged with public affairs will give effect to such measures as will conduce to the honour of the Crown and the benefit of the community. I value pecu liarly' and supremely--every member of the Administration must value as I do—this expression of your feelings. lam sure I do not misinterpret this reference to the honour of the Crown, when I interpret it with reference to the ques tion in which, at the present moment, the honour of the Crown, as well as various other interests, are deeply in volved—namely, the question of peace or war—(loud cries of " hear, hear")—which holds the mind of Europe in agi tation and suspense from one extremity to the other. If you tire persuaded th a t th e h onour o f th e C rown is safe in the Minds of her Majesty's present advisers, I am sure that no testimony can convey to them a more gratifying feeling —I am sure that no testimony which can reach them will contribute more to strengthen their handssin the discharge ' of their public duty, and in bearing that conspicuous part whicl, must belong to England in the consideration of every great European question. It was perhaps to be expected that the delays and vexations incident to these protracted negot ations would lead to a sentiment of impatience amon a portion of the community. Undoubtedly it was to be xpected in this free country that the measures and moti es of the Government—especially when covered in some egree with a portion of necessary reserve—would not recei e from every one an absolutely favourable construc tion. It was to be expected that the general sentiment on th present relations between Russia and Turkey, where there has been an overbearing aggression on the part of the former, would be that of eagerness and anxiety for some marked and positive demonstration on thei part of &gland against the aggressor. But I venture to 'say that I er Majesty's Government do not feel in the least de gree Disposed to shrink from any portion of the res bilityi they have assumed in making every effort—in . and beyond hope, hop ing, i that were necessary, against hopeinho hoping p to the whic lam happy to say it is no successful in warding off utter most Jthat their efforts would be awar. (Loud cheers.) the frightful calamity ofa general wa r. is up when they see No dfubt, the blood of Englishmen aggressiongoing on. No doubt, a contest oppression and p arty and a weaker party cam on between a strong e r appeas forcibly to those feelings which we a re accus t ome d l No doubt, the lapse of time which} eminently national.. to Ott whicll has already passed without any apparent result, is calculated to try the patience of the community. But trust rue, gentlemen, the measure of the real greatness of a people lies in their power of self-command and that self restraint, whether exercised by a nation or by individuals, is always liable to be mistaken, and its action to be charged as indifference, feebleness, and cowardice. We know, I trust, the difference between them. We know that a dig nified patience, and a sense of the duty which we owe• as men and as Christians, will not be wanting in readiness, when the time comes, to vindicate the honour of the coun try. (Cheers.) What do we mean when we speak of a general war ? Certainly there is a glare and a glory about the operations of war which appeal to some of the noblest elements of human nature, and which render us too little mindful, I fear, of its accompaniments. When we speak of a general war, we do not speak of a real progress on the road to freedom—of real progress in the advancement of human intelligence. These may sometimes be the in tentions—rarely, I fear, are they the results of war. When we speak of a general war, we mean the face of nature stained with human gore —we mean the bread taken out of the mouths of millions—we mean taxation indefinitely increased, and trade and industry wofully diminished—we mean heavy burdens entailed upon our latest posterity—we mean that demoralisation is let loose, families are broken up, and lust stalks unbridled in every country which is visited by the calamity of war. (Loud cheers.) If that be a true description of war, is it mot also true that it is the absolute duty of. ,the Go vernment to exercise for themselves that self-command which they recommend to others, and that they should labour to the uttermost for the adoption of any and every honourable expedient which may be the means of averting that frightful scourge. (Cheers.) lam certain—l might have anticipated it before, but at this moment I can have no doubt, after the expression of your feelings which you have just given —that these are the sentiments which ani mate the peaceful community of Great Britain, associated as they are in the works of industry and enterprise, 'and 1 who, as practical men, come into close contact with ques tions of public policy. They know the dangers- we have to encounter, the difficulties we have to meet, find by their 1 generous confidence lam sure we shall be supported. In Parliament Ministers have repeatedly admitted, as yon are aware, that it is their duty to maintain what is called — and with some qualification truly called—the integrit y and independence of the Ottoman Empire. But we kno w the we speak of that integrity and independence of a , in the Otto man Empire, that we do not use the terms exao Y and same sense in which we would speak of the i n tegrity e the Otto- independence of England or of France, becau s e full of ano malies, Empire describes a sovereignty wiie?

The principle has been fully recognised in all discussions and all measures taken in connection with the great Eastern question. But, having made that recognition, and having laid down the condition that the absorption of the Ottoman empire by external force cannot be permitted—subject to that condi tion, and to any reasonable interpretation which that con dition involves —her Majesty's Government have adopted, and have acted upon the principle, that it is their duty, if necessary, against or beyond hope, at all events as long as a rational hope exists, to labour for the maintenance of peace. (Loud cheers.) Now, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, that is what the Government has desired to do. (Hear, hear.) There has grown up in Europe of late years a prac tice of combining the great powers for the difficulties —a measure which, whilst its justice has been long ad mitted, no statesman of recent date has ventured to bruin forward, and t yhich th e great financier who originated the system of legacy duties failed in the attempt to carry out. " And therein r,-ras also included, and, as the result of a statement which fot- its excellence is perhaps unparalleled in the annals of Par2iament, with little opposition sane tiooed the renewal and extension of the income tax, which all feel to be unequal and oppressive in its operation (but, under the circumstancas, unavoidable), with, however, for the first time, a clear and distinct understanding that at the expiration of the reserved t erm such tax ought to disappear. "As the representatives of a community which is pecu liarly interested in the nrov-ass of commercial freedom, we e n f u l t l s y f t o h r e g y r o e u a i t - i p n o e r t i p a l n e e t tender to you our acnowlet - I , gm ut and successful efforts to car 27 t of free trade, and the expression . of our e arnes t h ope that the resultcontinued of that you may be long spared to. devot e your tal en t s t o th e ser vice of your country, and to wig, as tt policy which you have most ably aut 0 et e and increasing prosperity of all east , es in thi s country— rewarded by the consciousness that tow.ards the accom plishment of those vast and beneficent rt'sults your services have largely contributed." (Loud cheers.) The address having been read, The MAYOR stated that he concurred in every word of the address, and not least in the hope expressed that, _Arr. Gladstone might bo long spared to devote his brilliant talents to the service of his country. He had great plea sure in presenting him with the address. (Cheers.) Mr. BAZLEY, President of the Chamber of Commerce, then addressed the meeting, and said that on learning the Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to become the guest of their friend and neighbour, Mr. Harter, the direc tors of the Chamber of Commerce resolved to present him with an address, which fie would now read : "To the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, &c. " Sir,—The directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester eagerly avail themselves of your visit to this city to tender to you their svarm acknow ledgments for the eminent services which you have rendered to the country during the session of Parliament recently , brought to a close, and to express a hope that a rontinu ance, unimpaired by external circumstances, of those sa tisfactory result s w hi c h h ave no t f a il e d to attend upon every successive development of a free-trade policy, may soon enable you to carry that system to perfection, and to erase from the British tariff blots which still deface it. "Bound by its rules to confine its consideration to mat ters of commercial bearing alone, this Chamber never ceased to protest against the corn law of 1815, and all sub sequent modifications of it, as injurious to every interest in the State, and it was the fi rs t t o p roc l a i n i th a t th e pro tection which the Legislature professed to threw around the manufactures of this country was alike illusory and mischievous to all. It marked, therefore, as it well might, the tendency of the commercial policy foreshadowed in the session of 1842 with hope ; it received, as it had a right to do, the enactments of 1846 with joy and gratitude; and it remembers that at both these periods you were associ ated with that great and lamented statesman who had the patriotism to propose the talent to defend, and th e cour age to carry th ose initiative measures which he had become convinced were necessary for his country's good. The Chamber was not slow, then, to express its thankfulness to Sir Robert Peel and his associates in power, and it is glad to renew it now to yourself in person, not only for your share in the commencement of, but for your continued adherence to that policy, which through its whole course has been marked by unmixed benefit, and is at this moment of immeasurable value. " Anxious for the full accomplishment of free trade prin ciples in this kingdom, irrespective of any policy which other countries may pursue, this Chamber would b e un faithful to its long-cherished convictions did it not avow that it would gladly have seen in the improved tariff of the present year a total abolition of the very unimportant dif ferential duties which still remain, and of the duties on silk manufactures, as also a great reduction in the duties on wine; but trusting that they are retained only until the na tional revenue shall with safety permit the fullest application of sound principles to our tariff, the directors of the Cham ber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester repeat their deep sense of the obligations they owe to you and to your colleagues in office, and bid you a respectful but most sincere welcome to this city." (Cheers). Mr. Bazley continued :—Personally, he could not with hold the expression of his feelings, that Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues had, by their pacific and prudent policy, contributed to the satisfaction which at present pervaded all her Majesty's subjects, and the state of the public revenue, as last declared, was only a tribute peculiar to himself. (Cheers). Permit him to express a hope that the right hon. gentleman's valuable life might be long spared to his family and to his country. (Loud cheers.) Mr. ASPINALL TURNER then addressed the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and read the following address from the Commercial Association, of which he w a s p res id en t, an d i n the sentiments of which, he said, he fully concurred "To the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, &c. " Sir,—We, the directors of the Manchester Commercial Association, desire to offer you our cordial welcome on your arrival in this city. " Most gladly do we avail ourselves of the opportunity to acknowledge how largely you contributed to the successful issue of the struggle for commercial freedom under the guidance of one to whose name the citizens of Manchester have this day reared an enduring memorial. " We regard your presence at this time as well befitting the occasion, looking upon you as the able and consistent expositor of those principles of legislation bequeathed to his country by the late Sir Robert Peel. " Having already gratefully recognised the value of those principles, as carried out in the admirable commercial measures submitted by you to Parliament during the last session, we would now express our hope that, in your hands, they are destined to attain still further develop. ment. " We also feel called upon to return you our sincere thanks for the ready and courteous attention you have at all times extended to our official representations ; and we should add our earnest wish that you may long live to ex ercise for the good of your country those talents which have rendered you so distinguished an ornament of the Bri tish Senate." Mr. Turner continued, and, after referring to the inaugu ration of the statue of Sir Robert Peel, said his fellow citizens would reflect with pride that the father of the man whose memory they had recorded, and the father of him whose presence they now greeted, were, one an eminent manufacturer, and the other an eminent merchant of South Lancashire. Their sons had gained for themselves names more imperishable than their fathers, and he would say to the younger citizens of Manchester, that though their fathers had laboured for them, there was nothing in their position to exclude them—more than it had excluded Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Gladstone—from attaining to the highest offices of the State. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to address the meeting, and was received with enthusiastic cheers. When order was restored, he said—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I may truly say—at least lam certain no man had more cause to say —that it is a matter of the most hopeless difficulty to convey to your minds a sense of the mixed and strong emo tions which I feel to-day. I have come to Manchester, drawn hither by the strong interest which attaches to this most remarkable community—a community which has per haps accumulated greater wealth than any commercial or manufacturing emporium, certainly more than any provin emporium, that is known in the history of worldth —(cheers)--but with respect to which its Accumulation tinof a 9 wealth is still less remarkable than t he advance its in telligence, and the prominent way in whichthatn in te gence has enabled Manchester to influence, at least re cent years, the fortunes and the destinies of this country. No man can visit this city without being more and more reminded of this by all that he sees and hears. Mr. As !pinall Turner has kindly reminded me that I am not with out local ties to this district—ties which are, and which ever will be, dear to me, and which give me a special in terest and a special attachment to this part of the country. I have witnessed the wonders of your great industry, the marvels of your organisation—the mode in which you husband, and by h us b an di ng multiply, all the resources that are applicable to commerce and art—and I have seen, moreover, in your town, the true representation of those united figures which you have seen to-day at the base of the statue of Sir Robert Peel. I have seen art, not go-1 verning merely, but beautifying the productions of com merce, and I trust that in this great queen, as it may well be called, of productive industry, you will more and more cherish the union of these two great principles and powers, being aware, in the first place, that beauty is a principle of commerce, and the greatest secret of its strength, efficacy, and success ; and being aware also that, over and above its commercial effects it has the power to refine and elevate the mind of man the mind not only of those whom we term the educated classes, but the whole mind and the whole feeling of the community. To witness all this is reward enough for him who visits Manchester. But,l have come among yon at a moment of deep interest—at a time when you were proceed ing to complete thenoble tribute which you have paid this day to the memory of the illustrious dead. And you have been kind enough to use this occasion, and to employ it for the purpose of expressing the senti ments which you are pleased to entertain for one of the living. And if I am sen sible of any deduction—of any drawback from those feel ings of profound gratification with which you have filled my breast, it would be in the recollection how poor are the merits and how limited the services of him who now stands before you—(No)—in comparison of the immortal services and of the merits, scarcely to be estimated, of him whose name has to-day been placed in juxtaposition to mine—pleasing, indeed, and flattering to me, but less, far less than the memory of that great man deserves. To you, Mr. Mayor, as representing the corporation, and to Mr. Bazley and Mr. Turner, as connected with those distinguished associations which I know in themselves represent no small portion of the mind and influence of Manchester with respect to public affairs, I tender my most sincere and profound thanks for the part which you personally have borne, and for the part which those you represent have borne, in presenting me with these addresses ; and though I feel that you have greatly overvalued the merits which are due, if any are due, to my personal character and public acts, yet not on that account most assuredly is the sense of gratitude enfeebled with which you have impressed me, and which will never be effaced. (Cheers.) But I h a ve done with personalhe toneob. ob servations, for I know that highly coloured as is of your feelings, yet I m a y t a k e it at least as an expression of that indulgent judgment which you pass upon the effprts of public men, and a a t r t e h eevsaelna. ready eetaidme to • an expression of 'the interest you take in adhering to cer tain principles of public policy, which principles you feel to be vital to the welfare of considerthecoun wi t7 h . wh (L om ou i d a c m heers.) And I must say that when asso ciated in the public service, I blush less than I otherwise would have done at receiving this tribute of public appro bation and regard, which you have paid to me and my col leagues in the Government , and which with respect to them I hope I may say are not altogether undeserved. it is I I No. 19,048.] Cheaper Editions, 3s. 6d. each.

Many benevolent persons have been most desirous that a system of international arbitration should take the place of war, with all its frightful conse -1 quences. This is not the opportunity to discuss the theory of those gentlemen, considered as a theory, but it is an op t Portunity on which we may observe, not without satisfac tion, that some degree of real progress has been made and as II exemplified within the last twenty years in the history of Europe towards the substit u ti on of arbitration for,war. (Hear, hear.) The miseries of war between Belgium and I Holland were prevented by the intervention of some of the great powers of Europe, not by a perfect machinery, but by a machinery that was better than no machinery at all. (Hear, hear.) That influence of the great powers was used to bring to a termination the civil war that afflicted Spain, and on other European questions a similar influence was exercised with similar effect.. (h ear, hear, hear.) In tho case of the Ottoman dominions themselves, in the year 1840, a war between the Pacha of Egypt and the Sultan was brought to a tormina tion by the agency of the European powers. (Hear, hear.) The kingdom of Greece, which we may live to see, or at all events our children may live to see, playing an honourable part in the affairs of Europe—that kingdom was relieved from the consequences of war by a sim i tlar ac t ion of the great p owers o f Europe. (Rear, heaon on the p ar t r.) t s wll that so much has b een d one ; and these are causes l n i whic e h the effusion of blood was prevented, or its continuance was stopped, by pacific intervention. (Rear hear.) Th at in tervention is to b e di s ti ngu i s h e d from ameddlesome inter vention, that would involve us in particular quarrels ; because it is not an intervention of an officious State un dertaking to settle the affairs of its neighboiu.s, but it is an intervention or agency of States that represent the com bined force of Europe, and have a right to say to Europe, with something like authority . , that a particular corner or portion of Europe shall not break the general peace, or set us all b y t h e ears on account of petty local arrange ments—(hear, hear)— and to recommend them to enter into arrangements that will be for the interest of and satisfac tory to all parties. (Cheers.) Such an intervention is devoid, I know, of the heroic and romantic appearance that belongs to achievements in war ; it is clogged with intrigue, vexation, and delay and chicane. That is true ; but as the result contemplated is the saving of the effusion of human blood, and the averting of a calamity that would disturb the operation of industry, and deprive nations of their subsistence, surely the sacrifice is small, and surely the reward is great. (Ch eers.) Now, Mr. Mayor an d gentlemen, I have detained you much longer than I thought I should have d one, b ut I have been led onward, I must say, by your kindness and indulgence, to speak to a greater extent in regard to matters of foreign policy than I had intended. (Hear, hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer, you must know, gentlemen, in his offici a l capacity, is opposed pretty nearly to all wars —(laughter)— but at the same time the present Chancello r of the Exche quer in his official capacity is also of opinion that good financial arrangements are among s t th e most important preparation s or war—(hear, hear, and cheers)—when a war is necessary ; and so far as fi nance i s concerned, I do n o t think tat England has ever been better prepared for a war than at present. (Loud cheers.) Matters have been reduced to a state of simplicity ; and iu adverting to certain persons who have been more anxious to resort to arms than I could wish, I must say I really suppose those gentlemen are so satisfied with the present legislative acceptanc e of the income tax by the masses of the people, which has been embodied in an act of Parliament for a term of seven years, that they think it would be convenient to bring in a bill to double or treble the income tax—a simple operation so far as the House of Commons is concerned. (La,ughter.) Twelvemonths ago we heard much of a measure that would produce a good deal of money, namely, the doubling of the house tax there may be a portion, but surely not a large portion of the community with which that measure would become popular. (Laughter.) But I can assur e you that it is not only as charged in my official capacity with the finances of the country that I deprecate war—becau se we all, advisers of the Crown, and responsible in this great question of Eu ropean policy, entertain the same sentiments—whether as a minister, a Christian, or a man, I cannot but entertain from the bottom of my heart those principles ; and, more. over, those are the principles on which her Majesty's; Mi nisters have endeavoured to secure the honour of the Crown and the best interests of the country. (Loud cheers.) With respect to questions of domestic policy, I need not detain you long, for the subject of the greatest interest in our domestic policy is the subject on which Manchester has spoken out to-day more audibly and em phatically than any man or community could speak by mere words. We have the happiness of having reached a time when arguments and statements are absolutely need less with regard to the principles which ought to regulate our financial and commercial legislation. In accepting, with deep thankfulness, the expr ess i on o f approbation which you h ave accorded to the efforts of Governments, , of ;public men, and of Parliaments in recent years, I am well aware, and, indeed, your addresses would have made me aware, that you look not to the past only but likewise to the future. Much, no doubt, has been achieved, but in the vast and ever -extending concerns of this mighty empire, as far as my experience goes, I would say that the more active Parliament becomes in the work of legislation, not less b u t more rema i ns to do. New social wants are daily developed —new improvements suggested. It is a blessed career to which we are called— a career of wise and vigorous improvement—and to that career in public affairs I do not believe any termination can be affixed. At present there is to me a real reason for gratification in the state of the public revenue which has just been declared. There is an apparent increase on the quarter's revenue of 400,0001., when compared with the corresponding quarter of 1852, which was likewisea period of great prosperity. A strict analysis, lam bound to say, would make a considerable diminution in that apparent increase ; but still it is true that, on the revenue of the quarter there is a real increase, and that under circum stances which render the increase peculiarly gratifying. During last session of Parliament we repealed taxes with no sparing hand. The address from the Changer of Com merce says that they would have been pleased if the duties on silks, wines, and some other articles had been abolished. Gentlemen, my answer is, so should I. (Great laughter and cheers). But they will freely admit, lam sure, that it is our duty to conform our measures to the exigencies of the State, and that, above all, it is wise, at whatever apparent sacrifice, to affix such limits to the reduction and modification of taxation, as ensures to the public an im mense benefit and advantage, which is the great secret of the strength of our commercial undertakings —the limit, I mean, of having al wa y s a surplus revenue. (Cheers.) I think the repeal of taxes last session, which are all now in operation, passed two millions. To provide for the deficit thus created we had to look to three sources— the augmentation of the spirit duties in Scotland and Ireland, the extension of the income-tax, and the succession duties. At the present moment we have not derived more than a mere drop in the water from the extension of the income tax—the sum of about 10,0001. We have not yet obtained one single farthing from the new tax on successions. The spirit duties alone are in operation ; and on that account I think you will agree with me, that when all our reductions have taken full effect—and the principal sources of our increase have not yet come into practical operation —an increase of re v enue on t h e quarter is a most gratifying indication of th e s t reng th of our finances. (Cheers.) That is the case with respect to the prosperity of the country, as indicated by the revenue of the quarter. Reference was made in the proceedings of the council to the subject of the paper duties. Well, now, I must venture to tell you---though the confession works against myself—that when public curiosity is excited in reference to any measure, you cannot possibly have a more inconvenient or a more impracticable guest than the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. (Great laughter and cheering.) Gentlemen holding other offices may enter with tolerable freedom into discussion, and may announce their intention to introduce this or that measure into Parliament. But, though I confess I never felt more disposed to depart from the old and salutary rule than at present, yet I must re member that the lips of the man who holds my unfortunate situation are hermetically sealed till the day and the hour or the moment arrives when it is his duty to rise in the House of Commons and bring forward the budget. There fore, on the subject of the paper duty, I am afraid I have very little to say. I had the pleasure of seeing, yesterday, in the extensive warehouses of a gentleman whom I see present, that beautiful manipulation—for beautiful it cer tainly is—of packing goods for exportation. It was im possible not to observe in the package the quantity of paper that was used. I don't know that there was less than 10 pound or 15 pound weight of paper altogether, which is liable to the Excise duty of lid. per pound. It is quite obvious to me that the penny-halfpenny a pound laid up on the paper—that is upon the package—might as well, so far as the practical operation of the duty is concerned, be laid upon the commodities themselves; and, therefore, un doubtedly, the principle which has led Parliament to ex empt the great manufactures of this country from the ex tremely practical.and onerous operation of the Excise duty is perfectly capable of extension—(hear, hear)—when the proper time arrives and circumstances permit it. (Laughter, in which the right hon. gentleman himself oxteua ion to the mate rial heartily joined.) That principl e i s p er f ec tl y ca a we awe of in which those manufactures aro wr a p pe d— that is, gentlemen, really the whole I have to say upon the sub ject. (Renewed laughter.) It is here st a t e d, i n th e i r address by the town council, that they hope to witness, as • wo have advocat e d , t h e cont i nu i ng the result of the p o licy and increasing prosperity of all cla sses i n th e coun t ry .

But, in re dto what gar p a rliament may have done respecting it, it would be in effectual, it would be ludicrous on their part to bind the p a rliament of 1860. (hear, hear.) The present Parlia ment have done no such thing. What they have done is this—knowing that a promise at present for the removal of the income tax Would be delusive, and would form part of that system of public imposture which, I hope, will never be admitted into the government of this country— (cheers) —namely, a system of conducting public affairs by promises instead of by performances—knowing that we never asked Parliament to bind a future Parliament to the repeal or continuance of the income tax—(hear, hear) — we asked Parliament to adopt positive measures for the reduction of the income tax in the time that is to elapse between 1853 and 1860, and likewise by drawing from another source—namely, the succession tax, money, which might, in some considerable degree, replace the re duction of the income tax—(hear)—we asked them, by adopting this measure, so to reduce the amount of the income tax, and shape the other financial resources of the country, that in all human probability, and barring the calamity of a general war, that when th e y ear 1860 shall arrive, the Parliament f that period may be able to do what no Parliament since 1840 has been able to do—that is, to exercise freely an unbiassed judgment on the question, whether there is to be an income tax or no income tax. That is what we have done, no more and no less : we have enabled the people of the country to say, by their represen tatives—to say, at a certain time, whether they will part with the income tax, or whether, which, for my part, I hope they will not, they will continue it as part of our ordinary system of ta xa ti on . (Hear, hear.) Wi t h out subterfuge and without evasion, I have endeavoured to place before you what the Government intend to do, and I leave you to exercise your free unbiassed discretion on the subject. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the continuing and increasing prosperity of the country, I believe that is an admitted truth. (Hear, hear.) We are living now in a time when the prices of grain have becom e very hi g h, but so far as I am aware, no single voice h as b een ra i se d in murmuring accents, from one end of the country to the other, on account of the high price. Those high should be permitted. prices are paid with contentment, because they are the result of the wisdom of the Almighty, and of that inclemency which H e hasseen (cheers.)
