AtIN LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 18t7 establishing sounder fiscal principles', but have materially stimulated successive Ministries in the path of progress, convent to such a result ? We believe not. We cannot suppose that any really Literal member, any consistent financial re former, can reconcile it to his conscience to sup- port Sir G. C. LEWIS in his plan for the mainten ance of the war duties on tea, coffee, sugar, and spirits, with almost a certainty of further vexatious charges on a number of small articles, according to the doctrine of the illustrious ARTIUR YOUNG, of whom he professes himself to be the disciple. As Mr. GLADSTONE pointed out, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the first person who, for the last fifteen years, has ventured to argue in that strain. " The idea of remission of indirect taxation, o lutely nothing, in its profound signifiepee to the mere hums and hahs indulged in at these times by the members of the Government. The stereo typed phrase is something to this effect---" Sir, I can only repeaf . , in reply to the in- quiry of the Hon. Gentleman, that her MAJESTY'S Government have no information upon the subject, beyond that which has been received from the statements in the public news papers." This is the sort of thing which is con sidered to be clever fencing on the part of an Ad ministrator. It is precisely the kind of official babble, or Ministerial small•talk, heard night after night in the House of Commons : heard so per petually ; reported so pertinaciously—that we have at last got t 3 be quite sick of it. A flavour of this insipid kind was imparted, as usual, last evening, to what may be termed the customary catechetical chit-chat preceding the more formal, lengthy, and deliberate discus sions. Mr. LAYARD—ever watchful as to the evil-doings of Russia in the East—wished to know what amount of truth there might be in the rumour prevalent just now to the effect that there has been recently negotiated a secret treaty between the SHAH and the CZAR, by which treaty Persia cedes to Russia a rather considerable and very important section of her territories. A portion of those territories no less consider able than the track of country lying imme diately between the Muscovite and Osmanli dominions. An acquisition no less important to the Government of St. Petersburg than one open ing up to that Government the very military path into Turkey which Czar after Czar has noto riously covetted. Well, the question thus sub mitted to the House, and through the House to the Government, was plain enough in all con science. As plain as the answer vouch safed to it by Lord PALMERSTON was evasive and illusory. According to the Premier, Ministers know nothing at all about the existence of any such treaty. They had no information of any such Russian acquisition of Persian territory. They had no more story to tell Mr. LAYARD—" bless you"—than the Needy Kuifegrinder had for the Friend of Humanity in the Anti-Jacobin. Minis ters referred the Hon. Gentleman, referred the House, referred the Country to the " public jour nals" for all the Administration had really yet learnt upon the matter. That was literally the gist of Lord PALMERSTON'S reply last evening to the very earnest inquiry put to him upon that moat remarkable subject by the Honourable Member for Aylesbury. And so the matter dropped. And so all these matters do invariably drop—leaving the nation as wise about them as ever, until too late, until the evil complained of has been entirely consummated. When we are coolly recommended to—make the best of it ! Russia all the while advancing with grand strides upon her malign and ominous destiny—making nominally pacific treaties with England and France, while she is all the time secretly robbing from Persia, and encroaching upon the confines of Turkey I True to her infamous system of hypo crisy throughout. the simplification of our commercial laws, of giv ing to trade all the freedom compatible with the effective maintenance of the revenue, has no place in his mind. In hismiud there is only room for disparaging estimates of what yet remains to be accomplished in order to perfect the work destined to fill a bright page in the history that shall record the doings of our times." He, in fact, travelled out of his way to advocate the duties on paper and wine, and the stamps on fire insur ances, or, as it has been denominated, the " tax on prudence." The heavy burden on literature, the intolerable vexation to the manufactures, not only of the article itself, but of all who are obliged to find means of packing their productions, a restraint upon labour was not, according to his views, by any means a bad tax. Indeed the fact that it was a heavy drawback and great discourage ment to journalists generally would more than compensate for its other admitted evils. The wine duties, by means whereof and with mutual conces sions our trade with France might he greatly ex tended, was slurred over as a matter of trivial conse quence, tobe discussed another time, while the tax on prudence, the blot on the national statute book, was one of the last burdens to be remitted. This was the ARTHUR YOUNG philosophy which the Right Hon. Gentleman promulgated with the indiscreet zeal of a recent convert. These views sufficiently indicate what the natio❑ has to anti cipate from his continuance at the head of the Financial Department. But because he, "more Tory than the Tories themselves," chooses to de nominate himself a Whig because he made an exceedingly inefficient Edinburgh Reviewer, the chosen representatives of the people are to en dorse his views, and repudiate all their own pledges, rather than walk into the same lobby with Mr. DISRAELI. This calculation, we hope and believe, will be defeated, and, chiefly for their own sakes, we desire it to be so. They will cut a very strange figure on the hustings at the next general election should the glaring discre pancy between their " sayings and doings " be brought under the consideration of the electors. Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. GLADSTONE both proved beyond the possibility of doubt, that even with the Income Tax there must be a very consider able deficit in 1858-9 and 1859-60. It must not be forgotten that during the present year Sir G. C. LEWIS will have at least half a year of the War Income Tax, and as he proposes to give up, as he facetiously terms it, more than 9,000,0001., while he is really adding 2,000,0001. to the tax, There will be a clean loss in each suc cessive year of at least 4,500,0001. under that head—there will also be a loss on tea and sugar, even if his own plan be adopted, —and that the House sanctions all that he de mands—of more than 900,0001. next year, and of nearly double that amount in 1859-60, as compared with the ensuing year. There is also an addition to the Sinking Fund of 1,250,0001. in each successive year, so that the deficiency of revenue and increase of expenditure in 1858-9 will amount to at least 6,750,000/., and nearly 7,700,0001. in 1859-60. It is under such circumstances that he has the audacity to deceive the tax-paying community by holding out a hope of the total abolition of the Income Tax in 1860. Surely he must be himself aware of the actual impossibility of fulfilling that expecta tion, and, to paraphrase his own argument, we can only " exonerate his capacity at the expense of his integrity !" The Chancellor of the Exchequer attempted to follow Mr. DISRAELI, but "what a falling off was there 1" " Infeli.e pacer atque impar congressus He made, indeed, a deplorable exhibition, after the brilliant performance of his antagonists. Nor was the matter by any means improved when Mr. GLADSTONE followed his new partner's lead, and completed the demolition of the unhappy financier. Never was art unfortunate victim pliced between two such fires. Indeed, his con fusion was pitiable—even his own colleagues could scarcely refrain from smiling at his ludi crous dismay. Mr. JAMES WILSON endeavoured to bolster up his Budget, but it was by no means a labour of love. The Honourable Gentleman could not forget that he himself, as well as the remaining members of the Government, had advocated a very different policy in 1853 and 1854, while the Right Hon. Gentleman was exercising his skill as a reviewer, and looking rather to the events of bygone days than those of the work-a-day world in the latter half of the 19th century. The Member for Westbury was clearly ashamed of himself, and disgusted with the task he had undertaken. Mr. LAIN( coin pleted the discomfiture, although it was merely " kicking a fallen man." The debate has been adjourned until Monday, when we hope it will be brought to a conclusion. It is clear that Sir G. C. Lxwis, if he hopes to re• tain office, must bring in greatly reduced esti mates, and make considerable progress in the way of economy and retrenchment. He must also unequivocally repudiate his defunct friend, " ARTHUR You/go," and show the fiscal and financial rofcrnaer a that ho is prepared to go along with them in the gradual reduction of indirect imposts ; and this he can only do by the immediate revision and extensive modification of the Income Tox, rendering its apportionment more equitable and less oppressive than it is at present. If he abides by his previous Budget he must fall. One, and one only, mo d e of escape still remains. But the " light cloud is rapidly passing from the face of the moon," and after Monday it will be too late. Lord PALMERSTON may still come to the rescue of his dis comfited subordinate. But he can only do so effectually by announcing a complete and immediate alteration in the system on which the Income Tax is levied, and by giving a bind+ng undettaking that the diStinction between perma nent and precarious incomes shall be fully recog nised, and fairly acted on. By this means i.e may save his Government, otherwise the PALMER• STON Administration will ere another week be numbered with the past. Never was a financial scheme so mauled and ;orried • as was the "Precious Budget" o f 857 last night in the House of C)mmons. Mr. ISRAELI opened the ball, and although lie did )t attempt to perform the duty of the Chancellor f the Exchequer by substituting a different plan, ) made it perfectly clear to the most superficial server that the mass of absurdities put forward r Sir G. C. LEWIS could not receive the confidence ' support of the House or of the country. He 31111 y showed that there was, according to the :inisterial scheme, no possible hope of the aboli in of the unfair and oppressive Income Tax in 360, which the Financial Minister rather ob arely hinted at, then ventured to promise rectly.

The discussion which arose on Mr. Locke King's proposition was chiefly remarkable from the line taken upon it by Lord John Russell and Sir James Graham. True to the traditions of their former political history when in opposition, these two statesmen started for ward to embarrass the Govern ment by supporting Mr. Locke King's proposition —a proposition which, had they been in power themselves, they would have strenuously opposed. As far as Lord John's argument is intelligible, it appears to rest upon the foundation that, as the House throughout the session will have little or nothing to do, they may as well take a turn with Mr. Locke King as with anybody else. Lord John has no great belief that anything will come of the discussion upon education ; the Government is not prepared to legislate upon agricultural sta tistics. There is no prospect of a row anywhere, or to use Lord John's own more Parliamentary Owes*, "of disturbing the placid course of. events." When things are at the worst they will mend, however, and Lord John spits in his hand and clutches his stick immediately he sees his hon friend Mr. King trailing his jacket through the fair, in hopes that somebody will tread upon the sleeve. Hero, at last, is a chance of disturbing the "placid course of events " by breaking the head of one friend or another. The position of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons, after his many failures, must be a somewhat uncomfortable one. It is intelligible enough that, as a party man, as seeking the chiefship himself, he should seek to throw difficulties in the way of his rival, but the time has not yet come. With regard to Sir J. Graham, it is strange to find him praising his old antagonist with the most fulsome eulogies. Like Mrs. John Anderson in Burn song, the Right Hon. Baronet was quite pathetic in his recollections,— " John Anderson, myjo, John, " When we were first acquaint," &e. The loving pair in the House, as in the song, seem resolved "to gang down the bill thegither," and we think the general opinio►i will be that they are bath uncommonly near the bottom of it.—:Times.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—At the meeting, yesterday, Mr. Credin brought forward his vote of cen sure upon Sir B. Hall, the chief commissioner. The motion was negatived without discussion. The Hon.

The accounts showed a large balance at the bankers. The success of this institution is hi4hly gratifying. THE CHURCH-RATE ABOLITION BILL. —Sir W. Clay's new to aboli,h Church rates, which was read a first time on Thursday week, enacts that no Church rate shall oe made or levied in England or Wales • with a proviso as to sums borrowed and salaries charged on Church rates by statute, in which case rates may be levied to pay off the debts and the salaries in question. The act will not extend to Scotland or Ireland. GAROTTE ROBBERY AT CHATHAM.—On Thursday night Lieut. Brent, of the Royal Marines, was attacked in the High-street, Chatham, by three men, one of whom a-ized him by the throat from behind. Lieut. Brent, however, escaped from his grasp and had a t severe struggle with the men—one of whom he secured, and the two others have beeniince apprehended. During the struggle one of the men got possession of . Lieut Brent's watch, AUSTRIA. VIENNA, FRB. 18. Positive assurance has to-day been given that the idea of placing Trieste, Istria, Dalmatia, the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom, and the Southern Tyrol under one and the smile Governor-General has never been e ntertained either by the Emperor or his Ministers. It is credibly related that the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian has expressed his resolvent to accept the office of Governor-General of the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom, unless the military as well as the civil authorities of the coun try are placed under hiscontrol, and the refusal of the Emperor to accept the condition is supposed to have occasioned the sudden departure of the Archduke froth Milan. Authentic information has to-day been received that an " extremely energetic" note was about a week ago addressed by Count Buol to the Sardinian Government. The Austrian Minister complained bitterly of the excessive licence of the press, and expressed his indignation that the Turin Govern ment should permit papers which openly recom mend regicide to appear in Sardinia. Many per sons fear that there will be a regular rupture between the two Governments, but Austria has no intention of going to war with Sardinia. If the Turin Government does nob undertake to keep the press within due bounds, Austria is likely entirely to break oft her diplomatic relations with Sardinia, but she will not endeavour to obtain satisfaction by force of arms. A telegraphic de spatch, which has just arrivel from. Turin, an nounces that the Italia e Popolo, the most violent of tha ultra-Radical papers published in Sardinia, will cease to appear. In its number of the 15th of February the Nord avers that it is a matter of indifference to the Rus sian Government whether the Danubian Principa lities are united or not ; but the assertion obtains no credit here. ITALY. TURIN, FEB. 17. An investiture of the Order of the Bath was held by Sir James Hudson, K.C.8., at the British Le gation here to-day, in virtue of powers delegated to him by her Majesty, to confer the Order and Insignia on the following officers, lately belonging to the Sardinian Crimean EXpbdition :—Generals John Durand() and Trotti, with that of Knight Commander ; and Colonel Petitti, Lieut.-Colonel de la Rovere, Major Govone, and aptain di Negro, R.N., with that of Knight Companion. The cere mony took place at half-past 5 this afternoon, in the Hall of the Legation, and was attended by the Sardinian Ministers of State, the French Minister at this Court, the Due deiGrammont ; Count Nigra, Minister of the Royal House (Privy Purse); Count Salasco, Prefect of the Palace ; the Hon. Edward Erskine, Secretary of Legation ; and Lord Hubert de Burgh, Attache. Previous to the investiture Sir James Hudson addressed the officers in Italian to this effect : "Gentlemen,—My Sovereign being desirous of mark ing the sense she entertains for the ;brilliant qualities which you showed in the field, in conjunction with her troops and those of her ally, the Emperor of the French, has asked the permission of the King, your Sovereign, to bestow upon you the insignia of the Order of the Bath, and his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel hav ing granted that permission, and her Majesty the Queen, being prevented from having the satisfac tion of giving you these insignia herself, has caused a Royal warrant to be addressed to me, her Minister at the Court of the King your Sovereign, in order that the investiture may be performed with all honour and dig nity," The ceremony of investiture then took place with all due formality, after which Sir James continued to address the newly-made knights, saying : " Gentlemen,—l beg to be permitted to express to you my sincere hope that you may live long to enjoy your well-earned honours ; honours which could not shine on more gallant breasts, and which are the proofs of that happy alliance and friendship between our countries that I feel assured it is our sincere wish to preserve unim paired." To this speech General Della Marmora, Minister of War, who wore the decoration of G. C. 8., re plied on the part of his officers, expressing their sense of the honour conferred on them, an con cluding by a hope that the friendship commenced on the field of battle might be cultivated and ma tured in times of peace. After the ceremony was concluded Sir James Hudson entertained all those present at dinner, and after dinner Count Cavour proposed the health of the Queen of England. Sir James Hudson then gave the health of King Vi3tor Emnianuel, and afterwards that of the Emperor of the French, upon which the Duc de Grammont proposed the health of the Allied Armies, for which General Della Mar mora returned thanks in a short and soldier-like speech. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies has rejected, by a majority of 169 against 101, the bill reducing the interval of 20 days to 10 between taking any two votes for modifications in the Constitution. It has also adopted a bill fixing the month of January in each year for opening the legislative session. Some students of the. University of Rome have as their subscription towards the guns cation of Alessandria, accompanied by forsen tth2esofof. fortification an address expressive of their patriotic feelings.

THE MILBANK PENITENTIARY. — The sub-warder of Milbank Prison, Yapp, who has been in custody for grossly violating the prison regulations in tak ng money from the relatives of inmates, i•as been discharged, it being found impossible to proceed against the accused, as the law required the offence to be prosecuted within ex months of its commission. Yapp said he was sorry the inquiry had terminated as it had, as he should liked to have exposed the villany carried on by the higher officials than himself.

The new chairman, Mr. Pressly, has thus inaugoratel Yrs administration by a graceful co, oession, and relieveii the officers of the surveying department of the Excise ser vice of a harassing, impoverishing, and unnecessary routine.—Civi/ Service Gazette.

CITY, Two o'CLooK. :Clio Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, but steadily, with. a moderato dine tied. the sales were 5,000 bales. In tho Railway Share Market there was a good business transacted, and prices of all the leading stocks advanced. The general appearance of the Bank of England Return, which is completed for the week ending the 14th inst., is of a highly satisfactory character, the alteration it exhibits showing a considerable im provement in the situation of the establishment. In the first place the bullion has been augmented, de spite the efflux to the continent ; but it must be reaolleet ed. that it was in the week re resented by this balance-sheet when the large arrivals of Australian gold took place. The next favourable feature is the augmentation in the re serve of notes, but at the same time there is an increase in the other securities. The latter move ment, however, is attributed to the revenue pay- . ments, the addition to the public dep(.sits exceeding half a million sterling. The measure just adopted by the authorities for extending their loan opera tions is therefore fully justified by the increased strength of their resources. The principal items and the changes they preent are contained in the following table : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion Increase ~. £18,796,415 •76,790 .. 10,259,660 280,414 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills 790,644 Increase Government Securities Increase Other Securities 346,111 Notes unemployed Increase The official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week end ing Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin „ Bars Belgium 8,000 Ozs. Silver Coin PP PP „ Bars There is no alteration to report in the Money Market to-day, the demand being steady at full rates. Tile report just issued by the North London Railway Company states :—" After deducting all outgoings and interest on the debenture debt, the net balance amounts to 23,3891., which sum is sufficient to pay a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum for the past six months, leaving 7881. to be carried forward. The net balance on the 31st December, 1855, was 18,1551. The dividend was at the rate of four per cent. per annum, and 1481. was carried forward. A very limited business has been done to-day in Public Securities, and the quotations have ruled heavy. It might have been expected from the favourable Bank return that an advance would have occurred, but the approach of the settlement and the impression that Consols have tempo rarily reached their highest point checks buoyancy and produces some weakness. Consols for transfer have been 931 for account 931 94, and for April 94i I. The New 3 per Cents. have been 94i the Reduced 931 941, and the 5 per Cents. 1131. Bank Stock is 220. Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. premium, and India Bonds par to ls. premium. The dealings in the Foreign market have not ex tended to more than half-a-dozen securities, and quotations are without any change of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 95 to 951, and the 4 per. Cents. are merely nominal. Spanish Committee's Certificates are 6,1 A. Russian 44 per Cents. are 971 98, and Portuguese 3 per Cents. 44&. Dutch 2i per Cents. are marked 65. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6& 7 ; Mexi can, 22 221 ; Peruvian, 80 81 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 55 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 44 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 96 98; Spanish 3 per Cents., 4014 ; ditto Deferred, 24i 25 ; ditto Certificates, 6 6 ; ditto Passive, '- 6. The Railway Share Market has been rather active, and dealings in most of the principal lines have been at nightly improved prices. East Anglian, Eastern Counties, Lancashire and York shire, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Mid land, South-Eastern, North-Western, and South- Western, have each advanced about ss. Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Great Western receded 55., and Edinburgh and Glasgow and North British 10s. The French lines have been depressed ; Paris and Lyons declined ss. The Canadian also ruled lower. Grand Trunk of Canada declined 4 1 , and East Indian No dealings of any importance have been effected in British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares, and prices are almost nominal. Joint Stock Bank Shares are very inactive, but the business reported has been at rather higher rates. London and Westminster advanced 55., and Ottoman Bank ss. Miscellaneous Shares show no variation in prices requiring notice. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) lAnsineea done Bank Stock .. 220 3 per Cent.
