BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con equences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis. ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys cal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the frea' th, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It Is cbsolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Irinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incorisrderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness rnay be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

On the motion that the bill as amended be con sidered, Mr. BUCHANAN opposed the bill on representations ;hat had been made to him that its operation would oaterially interfere with the manufactures of Scotland. By the bill the great aggressors would escape its penal- Aes, whil3 the smaller ones would be caught in its meshes. He moved the further consideration of the bill till this day three months. Mr. KINNAIRD expressed his surprise at the motion of the honourable member for Glasgow at this stage of the bill. In London, where every branch of manufacture was carried on, a similar act had been in operation for some time, and had been found to work well, both for the manufacturer and the public gene rally. This bill had been for a considerable time before the people of Scotland, yet not one petition had been presented against it. He expressed his regret at any exceptions having been introduced into the bill, but he felt certain that in a year or two hence, the persons engaged in the trades excepted would apply to be brought within its provision. He opposed the motion. The amendment was negatived without a division. The bill, as amended, was then .considered. Mr. BUCEIANA.N . matted the of the words " 200 yards" for " a quarter of a mile" in refer ence to the distance of factories from a town to be ex empted from the operations of the bill. Mr. KINNAIRD opposed it. '1 he hoses then divided. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it 57 Majority The amenument was consequently negatived. The bill as amended was then ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, &a. PREVENTIVE BILL. - The house went into committee on this bill and the clauses were agreed to. Sir E. PERRY proposed to bring up a clause to exempt Scotland from the operations of the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK protested against proceeding with the bill in such indecent haste. If the bill was good for England, it was equally good for Scotland ; but a more preposteronq piece of legislation was never sent down from the House of Lords, and that was saying a good deal. It was an attempt to make people virtuous by act of Parliament, and he was afraid it would be made use of to establish a sort of magisterial inquisition. Sir G. GREY supported the bill, observing that it was brought in by the Lord Chief Justice to correct an abuse which had come under his own eye. M. ROEBUCK called attention to the celebrated classical works which would come within the category of works calculated to excite the passions of youth, and asked where a line of prohibition could be drawn. They should depend upon the honest, upright feeling of the country to put an end to the evil, and in that way more would be done than by all their inquisitorial acts. I Mr. AYRTON had given notice of an amendment to the mover of the bill, whose approbation it had met with, and he was surprised to find that the bill was about to he reported without it. • Sir G. GREY . suggested the withdrawal of the clause, leaving it to the Lord Advocate to . introduce a clause at a future day applicable to Scotland. Sir E. PERRY consented to withdraw his amendment on that understanding. Mr. NAPIER gave his cordial support to the bill. After some discussion, in which Mr. M. Mines, Mr. Melbas, Sir E. Perry, and other hon. members took part, Mr. LOCKE said that the word " exhibition" in the claw° was a dangerous thing, and might be applied to persons showing a friend a picture, &c. If it was to be applied only a public exhibition, for money, care should be taken to guard the innocent portion of the public against the police acting beyond their duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re minded the committee that the question was whether Scot land should remain in the bill. It would be better for the house to consider that point only, and reserve the other matters for con44eration till another stage of the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK alluded to the existence of gamb ling-houses and house3-of ill-fame. The latter were to be found in the best streets of London, and if they were impotent in putting down houses of ill-fame, he thought they would be found equally so in putting down the publication of obscene books, &c. Would any hon. mem ber dare to say that houses 'of ill-fame were not as objectionable as the publications referred to. Some persons considered naked statues indecent, and he was inclined to believe with Swift, " the nicest people have the nastiest ideas." Many, he said, believed these statues to be indecent, especially those representing the female figure, and he had heard persons complain of the Greek slave, but be should have thought that persons could have looked upon it as cool as the marble itself, but it appeared there were many hot and prurient people who looked upon it otherwise, and went so far as to gate that all nude figures should be destroyed or covered with aprons. The Venus and Adonis in the National Gallery, might under this bill be considered as an obscene production, and any canting hypocritical justice cause its destruction. Nothing would, there fore, be safe, and it would be useless to erect buildings for their reception. After some discussion, on the suggestion of Sir G. GREY the bill passed through committee pro forma, on the understanding that it should be recommitted for further diecussion. SUPPLY. Mr. FITZItOY brought up the report of supply wl,ica was agreed to after some remarks relative to Pimlico improvements. MILITIA. Sir J. lIAMSDEN obtained leave to bring in a bill to defray the expenses of the, pay, clothing, and other expenses of the disembodied militia in Great Britain and Ireland. over, prevents the consumer from obtaining the full be nefit which might be derived from the existing rate of duties. If I had delayed making any proposition upon the subject of a change in the duties payable after April next until the month of February or March I should have been told, and truly so, that that was too short. a notice to give to the trade. I therefore thought it was incumbent on me to make my proposition at the end of the present session, in order to give ample notice to all persons interested in the matter. I laid upon the table at the beginning of July a very full return on the subject of the duties oa tea and sugar, and if hon. gentl -man have peiused that document I am sure they have found it contain more complete and more authentic informa tion upon the subject of the consumption of tea and sugar in this country than was ever before included within the same compass. Assuming, therefore, that the committee have had an opportunity of consulting that document, it will be unnecessary for me to make any lengthened statement upon the subject. I would, how ever, venture to call the attention of the committee to one or two facts bearing upon the subject. The amount of revenue raised from the sources we are now consi dering may be taken in round figures to be about 10,500,000/ a-year. The sugar duties in the year 1855 produced 5,058,000/. ; and in 1856, 5,129,6491. The tea duties in 1855 produced 5,316,275/. ; and in 1856, ,5,536,6261. The average revenue for the last two years from tea and sugar has been 10,517,5251. Therefore itavill be seen that a very large revenue is at stake with reference to the duties of tea and sugar. There is also another fact to which I beg to call the at tention of the committee.. 1 fully concur with all that can be said as to the benefit which all classes of the com munity, and especially the working classes would derive from a reduction in the duties on tea and sugar. The returns on the table show how increased consumption has been the consequence of reduction in the price of those articles. They suggest strongly, the making—and I regret that it is not in our power, looking at the present and prospective expenditure of the country, to be able to make—further reductions in those duties. There, is, how ever, this consolatory consideration, that the duties fixed by the present act are lower with respect to tea and sugar than they have been at any previous time. With regard to sugar the duty - may have been lower at some time in the last few years, but with regard to tea the duty is lower than at any previous time. The war duty on tea last year was is. 9d., and it is fixed at present at ls. sd. per lb. The average duty on sugar last year was 14s. 6d., and it is now about 14s. per cwt., though in the common sorts there is a difference' of about 2s. 6d. per cwt. With regard to tea, there is a very material reduc tion as compared with the year 1852. In 1852 and np to that time for a series of years the duty was 2s. 2fd , whereas it is now ls. sd, (Hear.) The committee will find in the papers before the house an account which I have obtained since the end of last session with a view of showingthe comparative consumption of tea and sugar by different classes of society. Such a return has never parts of the been obtained before. and I will, with the pe c r o m m i p s a si r o a nof consumptionthe of state different different be the United Kingdom. With regard to tea, it appears on the best information that can be obtained that in England the upper and middle classes consume 56 per cent. of the whole quantity, and the poorer and working classes con sume 44 per cent. In Scotland the tapper and middle classes consume 54 per cent., and the poorer and working classes 46 per cent. The proportion in England and Scotland is very nearly the same. But with regard to Ireland the ratio is reversed. The upper and middle classes con sume 35? per cent., and the poorer and working classes consume 643 per cent. There is considerable difficulty in accounting for this difference, assuming the returns to be correct, and the only suggestion that I can make is that, owing to the smallness of the mid dle class in Ire land compared with the rest of the com munity, and the great proportion of poor to the ent ire Community, in comparison is greater withthe Englandpoor oflreland, and Scot land the consump tion though it is smaller by the poor of England and Scotland. (Bear.) With regard to sugar, it appears that in England the upper and middle classes consume 60 per cent. and the poorer and working classes 40 per cent. to the total quantity. In Scotland the upper and middle classes consume 62 per cent. and the pourer and working classes. 38 per cent, Again, • the same ratio is reversed in Ireland. In Ireland the upper and middle classes are stated to con sume 34 per cent., and the poorer and working classes 66 per cent. Mr. STAFFORD—How do you divide the classesi The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—They are not divided by me, but by the persons wh'o made the return. Like many other divisions it is a division de craie. There is no precise line to be drawn between moderate heat and excessive heat. Nevertheless there is an in telligible line which any person can draw. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—Upon what bases are those calCulations founded I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER-The returns are obtained in Ireland and Scotland from the Poor Law Commissioners, and in England and Scotland partly from the Board of Inland Revenue, and partly from the Board of Customs. The returns have been obtained with great care, but may be liable to error. I give them to the committee as the best information it is in my power to obtain. I think they will admit that the subject is worthy of consideration. I shall be, of course, voey happy if any correction can be sug gested, and all the materials aro submitted to the house . With regard to the sugar duty I cannot, on the whole, consider it a very excessive duty as compared with the price. The average price of sugar in bond for the six years from 1851 to 1856 wai 1/. sg. IW. per cwt. The average duty may now be taken to be 141. Therefore, the com mittee will see that it is a duty which, as compared with the price, is not excessive. With regard to tea, I regret to say the duty, as fixed at present, bears a greater pro portion to the price, and undoubtedly, if our financial position admitted of any moderation of these duties, the duty on tea would seem to have a stronger claim on con sideration. The average price of tea in bond for the same six years was ls. 20. per lb. The duty at present is Is. 53. Therefore the duty on tea, taking the average price, is more than 100 per cent., which is a high duty, and, looking to the consumption of the country, it would be very desirable, if our financial position permitted, to reduce it. But there is one circumstance to which lam desirous of calling the attention of the committee with respect to the operation of these duties. What really affects the coesumer and the extension of consumption is, of course, the price which be has to pay. The price is partly affected by the duty, bi 4 also by other causes in dependent of the du y. Therefore, in 'looking et the in crease or diminution of consumptior, it is necess try to bear in mind not only the increase of duty, but the variation of price, which may be greate,- than any altera tion al duty, although by different causes. I will venture to cAI the attention of the committee to an illustration of this remark. The smallest consumption of Lugar per heed since 1816 was in 1840. Comparing the two years 1839 and 1840 the consumpt ion stands as follows: -In 1839 3,830,393 c wt.; in 1840, 3,594, 412 cwt. In 1839 theaverage duty was 1/. 4.e.; in 1840 it was 1/ 5-4 23. Increased duty in the latter year is. 23. per cwt. Taking the facts of a diminution of consumption in the latter year and an in crease of duty, a persou would naturallyfsay there is the explanation of the diminution of consumption. But when we look further we find other causes much more opera tive. In 1839 the average price in bond wash/. 19s. 2d. In 1840 it was 2/. 9e. 13., showing an increase of 9s. 11d. The average price, inelusive of ditty, in 1839 was 3/. 3s. 2d. In 1840 it was 3/. 14e 3d., showing an increase in the total price of 11s. ld., of which only ls. 2d. was due to the increase of duty. Therefore it is manifest that the great diminution of consumption which occurred in the latter year was mainly attributable to the natural in crease of price, and not, to any great extent, to an in crease of dots. In further illustration I will take the last two years, 1855 and 1856. In 1855 the consumption was 7,547,157 cwt. ; in 1856 it was 7,071,515 cwt. In 1855 the average duty was 13s. sd. ;'in 1856 it was 14s. 6d., being an increase of ls. 13. Looking at the diminished consumption and the increased duty, a person might say that is the cause. But then it must be borne in mind that in 1855 the average price in bond was 1/. 6s. 9d , and in 1856 U. 9s. 73., being an increase of the price in bond of 2s. 10 , 1. The average price, inclusive of duty, was in 1855 21. Os. 21, ; and in 1856 2/. 4s. id,, being an increase of 3s gild., of which only is ld, was due to the increased duty. Ttiat also shows that the principal cause of diminished consumption was the natural increase of price, owing to the diminished supply, and not to any great extent to the increase of the duty. Under these circumstances, I trust the committee will agree to the resolutions which I have placed in the hands of the Chairman, authorising me to found a bill upon them to continue for two years from the Ist of April next the existing duties on tea and sugar. (Hear, hear.) I will now revert to the question put to me by the hon, baronet opposite (Sir H. Willoughby)with respect to the probable demands on the Exchequer in aid of the finances of the East India Company, The proposal which I now make will not add anything to the Ways and Means of the current year. It makes no alteration whatever with respect to the year ending the Ist April next. It only proposes to arrest the fall of duties which would otherwise occur at that period, and to continue the existing duties for a term of two years. It seems to be expected by the bon gentleman-and there seems to be in the minds of the public an impression -that it will be incumbent on her Majesty's Government to make some proposal before Parliament separates, with a view of assisting the Indian Treasury. In the present state of public affairs in India it h as been niy duty, and the duty of her Majesty's Government to communicate with the Chairman of the East India Company on this sub ject, and the East India Company have been informed that the Government were ready to take into considera tion any representations w hich ithey might make with respect to any change in the law which they might wish to propose as to their power of borrowing money, or with respect to any financial assistance which they might wish to receive from the Government by consent of Parliament. But the directors having investigated the question, did not find that they were in a position which made it necessary that the y should apply to Go vernment at present for any such assistance. (Hear.) The present financial means of the East India Company are ample. Their present difficulties, great and formid able as they undoubtedly ale, are not of a financial kind Of course it is impossible to say how soon financial exigencies may occur, but in the existing state of the Eat India treasury we are informed, and we enter thin no doubt,' there are ample means of meeting any demand likely to be made on the WAYS AND MEANS. On the motion for the house going into cpmmittee on ways and means, Mr, WISE asked what course the Government in tended to take with reference to the 2,0001. that had been paid for a chapel in Paris after the house had re jected the vote of 10,5001. for its purchase. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that be had not been able to communicate with Lord Cowleyon the subject, and was unable to answer the question. WAYS AND MEANS. THE TEA AND SUGAR DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, —lt will be in tie recollection of the committee that early in the last session I laid before them a proposal for an alteration in the duties on tea and sugar, which were then fixed by the existing law. That proposal referred to a period of three years, commencing from the Ist of April last. I propose& a certain triennial scale of duties, which were higher than the duties that would have been leviable under the then existing law. In conse quence of the dissolutlon of Parliament the Government were called upon to alter their plan. I accordingly with drew my proposition for a triennial settlement of the duties upon tea and sugar, and I afterwards introduced a reso lution, and subsequently a bill, to fix these duties for a year, commencing on the lit of A pril last. The propo sition underwent a very full discussion, and it is unne cessary for me now to repeat the arguments that were then used upon the subject, inasmuoh as, the discussion being so recent, they are, no doubt, within the recollec tion of the committee. The effect of that alteration of the law was that the duties on tea and sugar, although fixed at a lower rate than that which existed for the year ending the lst of April last, were fixed at a rate which was higher than that at which they would have stood it that Act had not passed. But the rate was fixed only for the year commencing the let of April last, and end ing the Ist of April, 1853. The resolution which I have now placed in your hands, sir, is not intended to make I an y alteration in the duties upon tea and sugar which are leviable under the existing Act until the Ist of April next, and, although it does purport to substitute certain duties for those existing from the present time, neverthe less it makes no change in those duties up to the Ist of April next. The object which I really have in view is to continue for two years from the Ist of April next the duties which are now leviable by law up to that date. It a measure substantially to carry into effect the propo sition I made at the beginning of the session with respect to the two years from the Ist of April next, and which was dropped in consequence of the dissolution. The committee will understand that I do not propose to make any alteration in the Ways and Means for the existing year, but I merely propose to continue the ex isting duties as they stand at present for two years from April next. I should not have felt it mydutyto make any proposition now with regard to the tea and sugar duties any more than with regard to the income tax, for which I also proposed a triennial settlement, were it not for the circumstance that, with respect to articles which are imported, as in the case of tea entirely, and sugar par tially, from great distances, it is expedient to give as long a notice of the intended duties as is possible—(hear)— because a s h or t n otice is extremely embarrassing and I disadvantageous to merchants and traders, and, more. Indian Exchequer. Under these circumstances, her Majesty's Government, as at present advised, subject, of course, to information which may at any moment arrive do not feel called upon to submit to Pathatnent any proposition with regard to assistance to be afforded to the East India Company. I can say, therefore, that the Ways and Means which the liberality of Pathanient has placed at the disposal of the executive Government ap pear as far as I am able to judge, to he amp le for meet ing the probable wants of the present financial year. (Hear, hear) If the - Government had any reason to doubt their sufficiency they would not be slow in bringing the matter under the consideration of this house, in full confidence that any want which could be established with regard to finance, and that any demand for .xpenditure which could be proved by demonstrative evidence to be required for the interests, the defence, and the welfare of the country, would be furnished by the liberality and public spirit of this House. (Cheers.) The Government are not restrained by any doubt of the willingness of this House to meet any reasonable demand on their part ; but, as far as they are able to judge, there is no imme diate reason for making such a demand. I will 'merely remind the house that up to the present time all the de mands upon the Exchequer of this country have been satisfied from the Ways and Means of the current year. We have. already discharged 2,000,0001. of Exchequer bonds which fell due in the month of April last ; and within the last few days a considerable sum in respect of the redemption of the Sound Dues has been paid. Not withstanding those large payments, one of which was in redemption of debt. and the other in a matter equivalent to the extinction of debt, yet.tbe growing revenue of the year appears at present adequate for the demands of the country, and notwithstanding the large shipmentof troops to India, I do not anticipate at present any inadequacy of Ways and Means to cover the expenditure of the year. I will merely add, in reference to what fell from the hon. baronet, that he is no doubt aware that as soon as re giments are transferred to the, service of the East India Company they become chargeable to the revenue of India, and cease to be chargeable to the revenue of this country. Therefore,. so far as measures have at present gore, they have produced relief rather than burthen to the Ex- chequer of this country. The dissolution of the Bengal army, however disastrous an event to the Indian empire, is n vertheless immediately attended with a diminution of expense, inasmuch as the pay of 40 regiments, with the exception of the British .officers, at once ceases. The immediate effect is not to bring any great charge upon the Indian or'Eaglish Exchequer, and the principal loss to the Indian Government arises from the plunder of their treasuries, and the cessation of the collection of taxes in the disturbed provinces. But the places of the regiments sent to India will be filled by recruits. Re cruiting is, of course, a gradual process, and the ex pense attending the supplying the regiments shipped for India comes on by degrees, and when it is carried to the full extent only creates a charge equal to that removed by the departure of those regiments. My noble friend at the head of the Government has already explained, with regard to the embodied militia, that it is our inten7 Lion to call out regiments only so far as may be neces sary, in consequence of the slow process of recruiting ; but it is not anticipated that the vote to which the house agreed 1 at night of 100,0001. will be insufficient, and possibly the whole of that vote will not be required. Under these circumstances, as I stated before, I do not at present anticipate that I hall have to make any further propositions to the House in Committee of Ways and Means, or in Committee of Supply beyond what are now on the table, and I trust that, alter these explanations, the resolutions in the hands of the Chairman will re ceive the assent of the committee. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving the following resolutions : "1. That towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty, in lieu of ate duties of Customs now chargeable on the following articles imported into Great Britain and Ireland, and in lieu of the duties of Excise now chargeable on sugar made in the united kingdom, the following duties shall be charged until the 31st day of March, 1860, inclu sive (that is to say) : e. d.

Rico and rice dust, for feeding cattle, per cwt. ... 0 4i Rico, rough, and in the husk, per quarter ... 0 9 Meal, not otherwise enumerated or described, per cwt, 0 4A Mr. GLADSTONE said,—l do not rise for the pur pose of opposing the resolutions of the right hon. gentle man or of detaining the committee for any length of time, but it does appear to me that we must regard this pro posal as an omen of other proposals which are to follow it. (Hear, hear.) There is one statement of the right hon. gentleman upon which I have the misfortune to differ from him, and I cannot allow it to pass with out recording my protest against it. He speaks of having paid off 2,000,0001. of Exchequer-bonds and provided for the Sound Dues, re; if in either of those operations he were extinguishing debt, or performing a process analogous to the extinction of debt, out of the Ways and Means of the year. I do not wish to revive arguments which we have bad at great length, but, so far as the Sound Dues are concerned, the case is this : —ln t ie years 1856 and 1857, by ilea exercise of borrowing powers to a consider ably greater extent than the ultimate expenditure required, there were large balances of borrowed money in the Exche quer, and out of those balances the Government applied 1,000,000/., and something more, to the extinction of the obligation contracted with respect to the Sound Dues. The Sound Dues were just as much discharged out of borrowed money as if a special loan had been raised for the purpose. (Hear ) As respects Exchequer bonds, so far from considering that we have liquidat ed 2,000,0001. , out of what may be regarded as legitimate Ways and Means, I contend not only that those 2,000,0001, but that 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001, more, which we applying to Ways and Means, ought to be applied to the liquidation of public debt in redemption of the pledge given by Parliament ; and next session it will be necessary to review that subject at greater length. (Hear.) As respects the general matter of the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am glad to understand from him that the East India Company are in such a state as regards finances that he contemplates they will be able from their own resources to meet for the probable period of six months the heavy charges of operations which must be undertaken in that country. If that be the case, I entirely agree both with the autho rities of the Company and with the right hon. gentle man in the wisdom of not making any present appli cation to this house. (Hear, hear.) In what he said he perhaps alluded to what fell from use when I re spectfully tendered to the Government my advice, that if they foresaw the coming necessity of rendering pecu niary aid to the Indian Government they should render a portion of that aid at once. But I quite agree that if the resources of India are in such a state as the right hon. gentleman represents them, it is much better to avoid any demand at the present. Grave as is the crisis, meet weighty as may be many of the matters raised and discussed with great ability by the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire, yet I confess I incline, in common with the hon. and gallant member for Aber deen (Col. Sykes), who addressed the house very recently and very admirably—(hear)---to the opinion that there is nothing absolutely unreasonable in the hope that, by the blessing of Providence, the head of this mutiny, giga ntic .as it is, may be crushed, and certainly, so far as positive evidence goes, I cannot see the evidence upon which the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire interprets this mutiny into general disaffection. (Cheers.) In the resolutions there is no reference whatever to Indian affairs. We are not going to increase. Ways and Means, nor to make provision directly or indirectly in reference to the state of Indian affairs. If any such necessity bhould arise it will be dealt with hereafter, but we are going t make an addition to the Ways acid Means of the next two years in the form of indirect taxes, which my right hon. friend will be the first to admit are of a highly ex ceptional character. (Hear.) I cannot find fault with him for making that proposal to the committee. On the contrary, I think he has exercised a wise discretion in making the proposal now, and in that manner givirg full notice to all persons commercially interested in the great trades, tea and sugar, rather than postponing it to a future session of Parliament. It may perhaps be thought strange that I, who offered the best resistance in my power when it was proposed to increase the tea and sugar duties, should now follow a different coerce. But all the consi deratione which led me to offer that resistance, prove how improper it would be to renew it. At the period of resistance Parliament wasunder no pledge with reference to the great questions before the ciuutry-. Parliament had done nothing to affirm in any mariner the policy of the Government with respect to the Persian war ; and with regard to the expenditure for the Persian war, it was estimated at an amount altogether trifling. Re specting the war in China, so far from having approved, the house passed a vote in condemnation of that policy. The estimates which were presen ed in the early part of the year were presented as peace estimates, and it was a most important question for consideration on what scale our peace estimates ought to be framed. The question of military force is intimately connected with the spirit of our foreign p ilicy. The spirit of our foreign policy, along with the estinates, has since then passel under the review of the country, and I am bound frankly to own that the opinion of the country with respect to that foreign policy, though it may be only temporary, differs widely from mine. It appears, therefore, plain that no thing can be more unfair than when the country is dis posed to recommend a policy involving great expendi ture, to interfere with the right hon. gentleman, who, as Minister of Finance, wishes to make timely provision, so far as is in his power ; for that expenditure. There is , another point most perplexing and embarassing to my mind, and that is the important scale of movement in the miscellaneous estimates. We have not only to liole back to the rapid increase,in those estimates, extending over several years, but we have to consider what are the prospects f)r the future, and I am icii - ry to say that - in -- my humble and conscientious opinion those prospects are still more gloomy and perplexing. It is quite true that on particular occasions we cavil with or make legitimate objections to some proposal of the Government. We have induced them to postpone voting a museum in Edinburgh, which, I am bound to say, is a perfectly reasonable requirement, on a moderate scale : and we have struck out a vote for a chapel at Paris. These things are all very well in their way, but in the majority of cases they are not instances where we retrench, but rather instances where we adjourn the charge. .L.e regards the general scale of the miscellaneous estimates, it is impossible that they should be effectually cnt down in this House. It is the government, and the govern ' meat only, wisely and firmly supported by this house, that can possibly cut them down. (Hear, hear) I may, perhaps, be of a censorious disposition, but I frankly own that the views of the government with regard to public sconomy are not my views ; but, if they were, is the government firmly and justly supported by this House I What has happened in the last fortnight I Have we not seen a bi 1 carried, which I believe unpre cedented in our history, for the wholesale increase of the salaries of public servants, in the face of an announce ment supported by detailed statements from the government to the effect that, if we vote for that Bill, we must be prepared to see a permanent addition to the public burdens of 200,0001. a-year. In 20 years of criticism of miscellaneous estimates this House will not, so far as mere money is concerned, undo as much as it did by passing that most objectionable measure. (Hear, hear.) I hope I shall not be thought to be exceeding the province of an individual member of this House in making these comments on proceedings which have re ceived the sanction of a large majority ; but having been during the whole session a prophet of ill, regarding with alarm the financial embarrassments towards which we are drifting, and having, perhaps too freely, found fault with my right hon. friend for proceedings in matters of finance, I think it but fair to keep in mind an opera tion so remarkable and so unprecedented, as this which proves to me that the temper of the public, reflected as it ie by this house, is not favourable at the present moment to economy, and which makes ie the duty of those who think they see a storm coming, and who wish to mitigate its force, to raise their voice in time in the hope that something may be done to avert it, or to render it, at al events, less formidable. I tender my thanks to my right hon. friend for having made this proposal. There is nothing surreptitious in its character. It bears on its face exactly what it is. Above all, I rejoice in the proposal on this account, that when we come near to a state of financial embarrass ment we always have to recollect that two alternatives may happen to us, either of them worse than an increase of taxation —one, an attempt to shuffle and shamble on from year to year with successive deficiencies ; the other, to make loans to meet the ordinary expenditure of the country in time of peace. In my opinion either of these courses is most detrimental and most disgrace ; ful to the country, and I frankly own that I feel the 1 more grateful to my right hon. friend on the present oc r casion, because I interpret the present proposal as a clear sign that he is impressed with similar opinions with regard to the weakness, the imbecility, and the disgrace of having recourse to either of these expedients, and as a pledge that if the necessity arises he will pro pose at once to meet that expenditure of the country by the only wise, honest, and manly course—an addition to its burdens. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CLAY denied that be had been a party to extra vagant expenditure in voting for the second reading of the Superannuation Bill. The loss which had been sus taioed by the abolition of the deductions need not be a , total loss. His only objection had been to redress the grievances of which the civil servants complained, in being made to pay to the superannuation fund a great deal more than was represented by the superannuation allowances. Mr. GLADSTONE.—What I raid on that point pro. se eded on the joint effect of the bill and the frank declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he should accept and carry out the declaration of the house without any qualification. If the hon. gentleman thinks there ought to be a revision of salaries, let him move an address to the Crown to that effect. I have no doubt he will receive very considerable support. 1 will sus• port him for one ; and I don't think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will feel at all disobliged to him. I would make such a motion myself ; but, having opposed the bill from the first, it would not have so much weight as one proceeding from the hon. gentleman. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY said it was not at all clearly proved that the deductions were too large for the allow antes made. All the evidence went to show that that question was not yet satisfactorily decided. His opinion was that the Exchequer in the end would be a loser in-tead of a gainer, as was generally supposed. His reason for opposing the bill was, that ho looked upon it as a very unstatesinanlike mode of settling the question. He bad no intention of opposing the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer now before the committee, although he was of opinion that there were other articles which could better bear an increase of taxation than tea. Ile did not attach any great weight to the calculations which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had entered into as to the tea comsumed by the different classes of the community. It was difficult to tell how consump tion went. The lower classes consumed almost as much of the higher-priced teas as the upper classes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. —I did not say anything about the quality of the tea consumed by different classes ; it was only the quantity of which I was talking. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY.—The calculations as to the quantity even could not be very trustworthy. He was glad to hear that Vac, East India Company did not feel it necessary to apply to Her Majesty's Government for any pecuniary aid at present. It was, however, bat a postponed demand. Considering the financial difficulties which had taken place in India during the last five years, the falling off which there would be in the revenue, and the great expenses which would be necessary in certain departments, sooner or later the Indian Government must come to the Imperial Exchequer for assistance. Ile was of opinion that we were rapidly drifting to an enormous deficiency. It must be borne in mind that a large portion of the ways and means of this year con sisted of money borrowed for the Russian war which had not been needed. It had never yet been clearly stated how much of the money borrowed for the Russian war had actually been spent for that purpose. Considering that none of this money would appear in the ways and means of next year, and that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would also lose a considerable portion of the income-tax, a deficiency was inevitable. Mr. TIIORNLEY understood the proposition now before the committee to be to extend the present duties on tea and sugar, which otherwise would be reduced or. the Ist of April next, to the year 1860. (Hear.) If that were so he wished to know how much money the Chancellor of the Exchequer expected to reso'ution ? ity of this Mr, WILLIAMS did not see the nesess gain by this measure. It was not to take effect before next April, h bad it been and it would have been quite early ore months' s woo. Two proped the firste sufficient notice os were quiteez for the e t r ade. He objected to trusting the Exchequer w i t h a balance, for he remembered that it was because he bad a balance in the Exchequer that the rigbt hon. gentleman had consented to the payment of 1,100,000/. for the redemption of the Sound dues. Mr. HADFIELD thought that all the blame of ex penditure ought not to be cast on the travagant ex Government. There were many cases for which the Howse was responsible, and he had on several occasions gone into the lobby with the Government against pro po,itions to vote sums of money for particular purposes to which they were opposed.

Im v A l .-- -- - imi4.... week ago, for a return of that nature, bet 'il' hijki notile S been presented, though I sboall have thoughrit w ae n , simple and straightforward as it is important. I agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the ealcOatian - which he has made of the comparative consumption of tea and sugar among the different classes. The mur- Inure of scepticism which proceeded from the hon, bare. net behind must have arisen faint a mi-conception at what the Chancellor of the Exchequer said. The esti mate which the right hon. gentleman gave us ie not by any means a fanciful one. It is founded on pa nca u l i e s u tt i b i e n made by a gen tl eman w h o h as g i ven g subject, and whose results have generally been ackeo x. ledged to be authentic. This calculation proceeded by way of an analysis of the population cif the c , untry an the amount of tea and sugar consumed por head, and it was shown by it that the majority of the e.ousurners of tea and sugar must be ranked among what are called tt e superior classes. For instance, dome- ' - ,c servants figlite . in the population to the amount of 1,500 ; 0001. Teey are great consumers of tea and sonar, provided by .heir masters and mistresses, they were therefore very justly, for the purpose of this calculation, ranged ante.,g con sumers of the higher and middle class e s, an d in that ~ ,Y it turned out that the majority of the cmistr-aori r ftea and sugar belonged to the superior e.lassee. That a i a. has I.mg lysis has removed an impression which been prevalent in this country that the pres:,•ore of th e in d irect taxes is mainly borne by the working classes, I under starld the hon. baronet to object, also, to the system which he says at present prevails of furnishing ways an d means from borrowed money. I think he must have misunderstood the remarks which fell from the right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Ox- e , ford on this point, for I cannot believe the right hon. gentleman had expressed any opinion that the ways and means of this year had been furnished in any way bjr borrowed money. No doubt there is a nroepect 01 A considerable deficiency, for reasons which I had an op portunity of explaining at the commencement of hat session—viz., that this year you have received an ninon t of war income-tax of not less than 3 000,0001. whicu you will not receive next year. As far as that is concerned you must be prepared for a vast deficiency ; but bor rowed money does not at all figure in our ways and _ means, When the hon. baronet says that the Sound dues were paid out of borrowed money-- Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—I did not refer at all to the Sound dues. Mr. DISRAELI—WeII, then, I should be glad if t' e hon. baronet would point out what portion of the expen diture was defrayed by borrowed money, for the matter is iine'of - Considerable - Importance. - There is no doubt whatever that the sound dues were paid out of the balances in the Exchequer, and if there had been no balances the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he told us, would have borrowed the money on terminable annuities. But the Sound dues do not appear in the estimates ; they are no part of the Committee of Supply, and no borrowed money, therefore, enters into our ways and means. As far as I can understand the state of our finances, we shall have a deficiency next year fur this simple reason—that we have been living this year upon a large amount of income-tax which we shall not have next year. The amount to be raised from tea and sugar is not an amount which wll at all meet the danger at hand. Next year, when we meet s we shad have an opportunity of expressing our opinions upon this important subject, and for the present I shall con tent myself with saying that I offer no opposition to the motion of the Chansellor of the Exchequer. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said, that at the beginniug of the financial year there was a considerable surplus in the Exchequer of money borrowed fer the Russian war. That entered into the balances, and he presumed must have supplied some part of the expenditure of the year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. —I can quite confirm what was stated by the right hon. gentle. man opposite with regard to the estimate of the com parative consumption of tea and sugar by the different classes of the community. That estimate was by no means drawn up upon imagination, nor upon any loose conjectures. It was derived from an accurate account taken all over the country. It is difficult to ascertain precisely the amount sold by private dealers to their customers, and therefore this calculation may not be precisely accurate ; but I have every reason to believe that it makes so close an approximation to accuracy as to be sufficient for all general purposes of reaeoniug. With respect to the question of balances, it is undoubtedly true that last year, which was substantially a year of war expenditure, a portion of the revenue was raised by loans, and there was a balance at the end of the year beyond the expenditure of the year ; but it was merely a general balance in the Exchequer, formed partly by taxa tion and partly by borrowed money. It is impossible to say how much was money borrowed on loan and how much was money raised by taxation. The duties upon tea and sugar now in force will, unless this resolution be passed, fall in the course of next year. They were lowered in the course of last session—the duty on tea from 1. 9d. to ls. 5d., the rate at which it at present stands, and which I may observe is a lower rate than the duty on tea has ever before been fixed at. It is always difficult to make a calculation ot the probable produce of a tax in future years, but in answer to the hon. member for Wolverhampton I may say that if these r •solutions be not passed we must contemplate a Lees of 3,000,0001. ot revenue. Mr. TIIORNELY—Is the committee to understand that these resolutions will, if carried, have the effect of imposing 3,000,000/. of additional taxation on the people ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The proposed resolutions make no addition to the taxation as it stands in the present year. They only arrest a re duction which would' otherwise take place according to law. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—Can the right hon. baronet state how much of the money was borrowed fur the Russian war, and how much of that money was spent on the war ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—What the hon. baronet asks is impossible. The loan was net contracted for a specific purpose, but for the general purposes of the year. There is a return of the totes, amount of the loans contracted during the Russian war and of the money spent on that war. Nearer than that I cannot go. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—How much of the last loan was spent 1 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —There was a sum of 4,01,0,0001. of Exchequer-bi is for which borrowing powers were granted by Parliament, hut they es ere never used. Those powers were hunited to the Ist of April last, when they expired, without the Ex chequer being any the richer for them. The resolutions were then agreed to, and the house resumed. PROBATES AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION BILL. After a short discussion, this bill was read a third time and passed. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES BILL. This bill, with verbal amendments, passed through committee. CUSTOMS ACTS BILL. This bill also passed through committee. PROBATES AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was committed pro forma ior the purpose o considering adruendments. The bill will be recommitted to-morrow (Thursday). The other orders were then disposed or, and the house adjourned at five o'clock. THE SELECT CO3IIIIITTEE ON OATHS TAKEN BY MEMBERS. Yesterday was published the report from the Select Committee on Oaths taken by Met.lbers, together with the proceedings of the committee. At the first sitting Lord J. Russell, at the instance of Mr. Disraeli, was moved into the chair. The committee then deliberated and considered the provisions of the sth and 6th Will. IV., c. 62.
