BY SAMUEL LIVMERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Wernher of the University of. Edinburgh, Honorary Memter of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of i Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e. ha essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con cquences 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 ciis- ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys csl udition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the l,aa'th, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. - ]t is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when' wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness May be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe 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.

STAMPED 5I) .] make an addition to the Ways arid 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 feult 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 giving 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 he thought strange that I, who offered the beet resistance in my power when it was proposed to increase the tea and sugar duties, shorld now follow a different course. But all the consi derations which led me to offer that resistance, prove how itnproperit would be to renew it. At the period of resistance Parliament was ander no pledge with reference to the great questions, before the eeuntry. Parliament had done nothing to affirm in any manner the policy of the Government with respect to the Persian war ; and with regard to the expenditure for tae Persian war, it was estimated at an amount Eltogether 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 preen ed in the early part of the year were presented as peace estimates, and it was a erst: eportant.question for consideration on what scale i . 4 , rW e e .eetimates ought to be framed. The question r; . . litery force is intimately oonnected with the spirit of our foreign pelicy. The spirit of our foreign policy, along with the esti nates, has since then passed under the review of the country, and I am bound franhly to o en 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 Mmtister of Finance, wishes to make timely provision, so Sill is in his power, for that-rieenditure. There is another point most perplexing and embarasein; to my mind, and that is the important scale of movement in the miscellaneous estimates. We have not only to look hack to the rapid increase in those estimates, extending over several years, but we have to consider what are the prospects far the future, and I am sorry to say that in my bumble and conscientious opinion those prospects are still more gloomy and perplexing. It is quite true that on particular ocoasious we cavil with or make legitimate of jeetions to some proposal of the Government. We have induced them to postpone voting a museum in Edinburgh, which, I am hound to Fay, 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 net instances where we retrench, but rather instances where we adjourn the charge. As regards the generel scale of the miscellaneous estimates, it is impossible that they should be effectually cat down in this House. It is the government, and the govern. ment 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 economy are not my views ; but, if they were, is the government firmly and justly supported by this House? What has happened in the la t' fortnight? 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 pubic burdens of 200,0001. a-year, In 20 years of criticism of miscellaneous estimates this House wilhnot, se 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 fxeeeding the province of an individual member of this House in making these comments on proceedings which have re ceived the sanction of a large maj :Tay ; but having been daring the whiele session a prophet of ill, regarding with alarm the financial embarrassments towards which we aro 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 ia Mind an opera floe so remarkable and BO unprecelented, as this which proves to me that the temper of the public, reflected as it is by this house, is not favourable at the present moment to economy, and which makes to 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, cc to render it, at a 1 events, less formidable. I tender my thanks to my right hon. friend fur having made this proposal. There is nothing surreptitious in its character. It hears 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. proper manner, and we ought also to have the amount of the whole sum fairly before us. I moved, about a week ago, for. a return of that nature, but it has not yet been presented, though I should have thought it was as simple and straightforward as it is important. I agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the calculation which he has made of the comparative consumption of tea and sugar among the different classes. The mur murs of scepticism which proceeded from the hon. bars net behind must have arisen from a misconception of what the Chancellor of the Exchequer said. The esti mate e b w y hich the right hon. gentleman gave us is not by any means a f anc if u l one . I s i s f oun d e d on ca l cu l a ti on a gentleman who has given great pains to the subject, and whose results have generally been ackro v 'edged to be authentic. This calculation proceeded by way of an analysis of the population of the country and the amount of tea and sugar consumed per heal, and it was shown by it that the majority of the consumers of tea and sugar must be ranked among what are called the superior classes. For inst ance , d omest i c servants fi gure in the population to the amount of 1,500,000/. They are great consumers of tea and sugar, provided by their masters and mistresses, they were therefore very justly, for the purpose of this calculation, ranged among con sumers of the higher and middle classes, and in that way it turned ont that the majority of the consumers of tea and sugar belonged to the superior classes. That ana lysis has removed an impression which has long been prevalent in this country that the pressure of the indirect I taxes is mainly borne by the working 0 -3, - 808 •under stand the hon. baronet to object, also, to the system which be says at present prevails of furnishing ways and 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 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 by borrowed money. No doubt here is a prospect of a considerable deficiency, for reasons which I had an op portunity of explaining at the commencement of t sessiais—viz , that this year you have received an amount of war income-tsx of not less than 3,000,0001. which yon 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— ment we alwaya have to recollect that two alternatives may happen to us, either of them worse than an increase of taxation—one, ats attempt to shall and shamble on from year to year with successive dAciencies ; the other, to make I)ans to meet the ordinary exoenditure 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 oesn that I feel the more grateful to my right hon. friend on the present oc casion, because I interpret the present proposal as a clear sign that be is impressed with similar opinions with regard to the weakness, the imbecility, and the disgrace of having recourse to either of thtes expedients, and as a plsdge that if the necessity arises he will pro pose at once to inset that expenditure of the country by the only wise, honest, and manly course—an addition to its burdens. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CLAY denied that he had been a party to extra vagant expenditure in voting for the second reading of the Superannuation Bill. The loss which had been sus tained 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. Sir 11. NVILLOUGLIBY—I did not refer at all to the Sound dueß. Mr. DISRAELI—WeII, then, I should be glad if the hon. baronet would point out what portion of the expen diture was defrayed by borrowed money, for the matter is one 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, weal 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 for 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 wall at all meet the danger at hand. Next Year, when we meet, we 'shall have an opportunity of expressing our opinions upon this import•snt`subject, and for the present I shall con tent myself with saying that I offer no opposition to the motion of the Chancellor 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 for 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 ad 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 ,is to be sufficient for all general purposes of reasoning. Wi.h 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 I mite, 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 burro wee monety. 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 pass-d, fall in the course of next year. They were lowered in the course of last session—the duty on tta from li. 91. to is. 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 of the probahla 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 coutemilita a has of 3,000,0001. of revenue. _ Mr. THORNELY—Is the committee to understand that these resolutions will, if carried, have the eff,ct of imposing 3,000,0001. of additional taxation on the people I 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 for the Russian war, and how much of that money was spent on the war t The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—What the hon. baronet asks is impossible. The loan was not contracted for a specific purpose, but for the general purposes of the year. There is a return of the total amount of the loans contracted during the Russian war and of the money spent on thht war. Nearer than that I cannot go. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—How much of the last loan was spent / The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—There e h n t, f ° b r it but they which b w o a r a r o a w s i n n in g of f powers 4, O e o r o e o g / . r a o n f t e E d a b c y b e p q a u r i r i a - b m i ere never used. Those powers were limited t) the Ist of April last, when they eqiired, without the Ex chequer being any the !Wier for them. The resolutions were then agreed tq, and the house resumed. Mr. GLADSTONE—What I said on that point pro• ceeded on the joint sleet of the bill lied the frank declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he should accept and carry out the declaration of the house without any quelefication. If the hon. gentleman thinks there ought to be a revision of salaries, let him move an addrcss to the Crown to that effect. I have no doubt he will receive very considerable support. I will sm. port him for one ; and I don't think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will feel at all disubtiged 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 prnceeding, from the hon. gentleman. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said it was not at all clearly proved that the deductions were too 1 age for the allow aness male. All the evidence went to show that that questioa woo not yet satisfactorily decided, His opinion was that the Exchequer in the end would be a loser instead of a gainer, as was generally supposed. His reason for opposing the bill was, that ho looked upon it as a very unstatesmanlike mode of settling the question. lie had no intention of opposing the proposition of the Chancellor of the Each( quer now before the committee, although he was of opinion that there were otter articles which could better bear an increase of taxation than tea. He did not attach any great weight to the calculations which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had entered into as to the tea comeumed by the different classes of the community. It was difficult to tel how consump. 1 tion went. Toe lower classes consumed almost as much Yesterday was published the report from the Select of the higher-priced teas as the upper classes.

On the motion that the bill as amended be con sidered, Mr. BUCHANAN opposed the - bill on representations that had been made to him that its operation would natcrially interfere with the manufactures of Scotland. By the hill the great aggressors would escape its penal tiee' while 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 contiderable 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 pelt 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. BUCHANAN moved the substitution 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. he boas° then divided. The numbers were -For the amendment 3 Against it 57 Majority —s4 The ameuduient was consequently negatived. The bill as amended was then ordered to be read a third time to-rnorrow. SALE OF OBSCENE ROOKS, So. 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 exemplfScotland frnm the operations of the \ bill. Mr.' ROEBUCK protested against proceeding -with the bill in such indecent baste. If the bill was good for England, it was equally good for Scotland ; but a more preposterous piece of legi,lation was never sent down from the House of Lorde, 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 b 3 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 hone:4, upright feeling of the country to lout an end to the evil, and in that way more would he done than by all their inquisitorial acts. 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 bid was about to he rPoorted 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. Milnes, Mr. Malice, Sir E. Perry, and other hon. members took part, Mr. LOCKE said that the word " exhibition" in the clause was a dangerous thing, and might be applied to persons showing a friend a picture, Sec. If it was to be applied only to 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 biil. It would be better for the house to consider that point only, and reserve the other matters for consideration till another stage of the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK alluded to the existence of gamb ling-houses and houses of ill-fame. The latter were to be found in the best streets of London, and if they were i.npotent 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 he 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 state that all nude figures should be destroyed or covered with aprons. The Venus and Adonis in the National Gallery, might under this bin be considered as an obscene production, and any canting hypocritical justice cause its destruction. Nothing would, there fore, he safe, and it would be useless to erect buildings for their reception. Alter 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 discussion. SUPPLY. Mr. FITZROY brought upthe report of supply which was agreed to after some remarks relative to Pimlico improvements. MILITIA. Sir J.

Looking at the diminished the ewe is this : —ln tle years 1856 and 1857, by the exercise of borrowing powers to a considerably greater were callednipon to alter their plan, I accordini•ly with- o msump' ion and the increased duty, a person might say extent than the ultimate expenditure required, there drew my proposition for a triennial settlement of the duties that is the cause.

The average price, inclusive of duty, 1,000,0001., and something more, to the extinction of commencing on th© Ist of A pril laet. The propo on, and sub sequen tl y a bill, to fix these duties for a was in 184;5 21, oe. 23. ; and in 1356 21, 43. 13,, being the obligation contracted with respect to the Sound sition underwent a very fall discussion, year, au increase of 3s slid., of which only is ld. was due to Dues.

That also shows that the principal out of borrowed money as if a special loan had .been and it is urine raised for the purpose. (Hear) As respects Exchequer cense of diminished consumption was the natural increase of price, owing to the diminished supply, and not to any then used upon the subject, inasmuch as, the discussion great extent to the increase of the duty. Under those bonds, so far from considering that we have liquidated 2,000,0001. out of what may be regarded as legitimate being so rece n t, they are, no doubt, within the recollec- circumstances, I trust the comm itte e will agree to the Ways and.

NEW MEMBER. C xptain HAMILTON took the oaths and his seat for Falkirk Burghs, in the room of Mr. Merry, unseated on etition. I over, prevents the consumer from obtaining the full be nefit which might be derived from the existing rate of duties. If I bad delayed making aey proposition upon the subject of a change in the duties payable after April next until the month of February cr 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 oo tea and plgar,.and if hoe. gentlemen have pet used that document I am sure they have found it contain more complete and more authentic informs . tion open 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 eis two facti bearing uporethe 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 5,058,0001. ; and in 1856, 5,120,6401. The tea' duties in 1855 produced 5,810,275/. ; and in 1856, 5,536,6261. The average revenue for the, last two yeais from tea and sugar has been 10,517,5251. Therefore it wilt 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 reduc ion in the duties on tea and sugar. The returns on the table show ho*increasedseoussunoption has ' been the consequence of reduetion 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 tho.es duties. There, is, how ever, this consolatory consideration, that the duties fixed by the present act are le wer 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 ls. 91, and it is fixed at present at ls. 54. 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. 61 per cwt. With regard to tea, there is a very material reduc tion as compared with the year 1852. In 1852 and up to that time for a series of years the duty was 2s. 21d., whereas it is now Is. Si. Mean) The committee will find in the papera before the house an account which I have obtained shoes 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 been obtained before. and I will, with the permission of the committee, state what appears to be the comparative consumption of different classes in different parts of 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 60 per cent. of the whole quantity, and the poorer and working classes con sume 44 percent. In Scotland theupper and middle classes consume 54 per cent., and the poorer and working classes 46 per cent. The proportion in England and Scotlnad is very nearly the same: But with regard to Ireland the ratio is reversed. The upper and mid Ile classes con sume 351 per cent., and the poorer and workine classes cousurms 64,4, , per cent. There' i , considerable difficulty in accounting for this difference, assuming the returns to be correct, and the only suggestion. that I can mace is that, owing to the smallness of the middle class in Ire. land compared with the rest of the community, and the great proportion of perm- to the entire community, in comparison with England and Scotland, the consump• tion is greater by the poor of Ireland, thou g h it is smaller by the poor of E n gl an d and Scotland. (a„,) 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 poorer and working cliesee3B 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 68 per cent. Mr. STAFFORD—How do you divide the classes ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —They are not divided by me, but by the persons who made tne 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 ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The returns are obtained in Ireland and Scotland from the Poor Lax 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 'cersideration. I shall be, of course, very happy if'any correction can be sug gested, and all the materials are 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 singer in bond for the six years from 1851 to 1856 was 1/. sa. lOd, per cwt. The average duty may now be taken to be 14s. Therefore, the com mittee will see that it is a duty which, as compared with the price, is not excessive. With regard to t.,,a; 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 Is. 2Ad. per lb. The euty at present is la. sd. Therefore the duty on tea, taking the average price, is more then 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 I am desirous of calling the attention of the committee with respect to the operation of these duties. What really affects the onesurner and the extension of consumption is, of course, the price which he has to pay. The price is partly affected by the duty, belt also by other causes in dependent of the du y. Therefore, in - looking at the in crease or diniaution of consumptior, it is necessary to bear in mind not only the increase of duty, but the variation of price, which may be greater than any altera ti(n of duty, although by different causes. I will venture to o 11 the attention of the committee to an illesfration of this remark. The smallest cos:sump:ion of tuger per heed since 1316 was in 1840. Comparing the two years 1830 and 1840 theceneumption standsas follows:—In 1839 3,830,393 °vt.; in 1840, 3,594 412 cwt. In 1839 the average dut- - 11 45.; in 1840 it was 1/ 21 Increased duty 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 tb Parliament any proposition with regard to assistance to be afforded to the East India Company. I can say, therefore, that the Ways and Means which tlae liberality of Parliament has placed at the disposal of the executive Government ap pear, as far as I am able to judge, to be ample 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 eetabiiehed with regard to finance, and that any demand for expenditure 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 thi s House to meet any reasonable demand cn 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 2,000,000/. of Exchequer bonds which fell due in the month of April last ; and within the last f6w days a considerable sum in respect of the redemptiori'of the Sound Dues has been paid. Not wiihstaudiag 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 rowing revenue of the year appears at present adequate for the demands of the country, and notwithstanding the large shipment of 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 ra giinents 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 oeEoglish Exchequer, and the principal lass 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 panse attending the supplying the regiments shipped for India comes on by degrees, and when it is carried to the full extent only creates a obarge 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 inten tion to call out regiments only so far as may be neces saly, in consequence of the slow process of recruiting ; but it is not anticipated that the vote to which the house agreed 1 s; 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 shall have to make any further propositions to the House in Committee of Ways and Means, or in Committee of Srpply beyond what are now on the table, and I trust that, after these (xplanations, the resolutions in the bands of the Chairman will re ceive the assent of the committee. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving the following resolutio . . . "1.
