Thr .3 fct quit "4 •v 4 c -- 7\ •'• • --A , • LoNtioN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1U Sir RonaßT PEEL once declared that " the battle of the Constitution was to be fought at the Regis tries." It was a great fact, an indisputable truth, which he proclaimed. It was not the justice of the cause which could command success. It was not the determined energy, the unbending resolu tion at the hour of trial, when every nerve was strained to the utmost, and the coveted prize was apparently within reach, that ensured the victory ! No, it was the c l ose and unceasing at tention to seemingly petty detail s on which the fate of parties really depended. Every favour a bl e elector duly registered constituted a stepping atone t o o ffi ce . Oft en w hen place and p ow©r seemed within his grasp, when he could have left his opponents in a decided minority, and as sumed the reins of Government, he refrained. ilia astonished and indignant partisans murmured at hi s apathy and irresolution. But he was p l a yi n g a deep game. Re well knew that a pre mature movement, although it might have given a temporary triumph, could not have ensured a prolonged tenure of office. He had watched the registries, and was fully aware that " the pear was not yet ripe"—that an appeal to the country would not have terminated according to his wishes. The deep-laid scheme succeeded, and he was placed at the head of a powerful party—which gave the helm of State into his hands. It was an instructive lesson, by which not only States men, but all persons feeling an interest in the welfare and happiness of the nation,may—pstifit. It proved that the struggle should commence at the very earliest stage, that a trifling exertion in the first instance will save tenfold labour in the ultimate struggle ! We now tell the nation that the question o monetary reform is to be decided this evening. It depends on the nomination of the Select Com mittee to be appointed this day, whether the na tion shall obtain a circulating medium adequate to its wants and exigencies, or be subjected to severe trials, under which earnest men will succumb, and many tender females will see their future hopes blighted, and themselves consigned to all the horrors of pinching poverty ! Who can look forward to ten years of incessant struggling —of semi-penal servitude—without a shudder ? Who could patiently submit to see the fruits of hie labours for that period transferred into the pockets of usurers and money-lenders, ' while his family are enduring bitter privations ) from which they might have been exempted by timely precautions ? But all this, and more, must be endured, if the Chancellor of the Exche quer be permitted to appoint the packed Commit tee of which he has given notice. There are good men and true on that Committee-men thoroughly conversant with the subject, but they will be left in a decided minority unless some changes be effected. In 1848 Lord GEORGE BENTINCK struggled earnestly for a better Committee—but in vain. Sir CHARLES WOOD achieved his object, and packed the Committee with the avowed partisans of the unjust and impolitic act. He had even the hardihood to boast of that which would have covered with shi - me any one less strongly imbued with the principles of red-tapism. We trust some inde pendent member will be found with sufficient courage to protest against the palpable trick, and endeavour to improve the constitution of the Com mittee. On that simple point the ultimate decision of the question will mainly, if not altogether de pend. If, as in 1848, the report be framed without regard to the weight of evidence adduced, its recommendations, although merely emanating from a bare majority of the Committee, will be acted on, and tho nation will be condemned to a deficient currency for a further term of ten years. Industry may starve under an extravagant rate of interest, that will check production and paralyse the trade and com merce of the country. The contest has begun in earnest, and the first and most important position must not be abandoned without an ear nest and determined resistance. Let a division be taken on every objectionable name. By that means, if the obnoxious member cannot be re moved, the nation will at least be apprised of the mode in which the Committee has been appointed, so as to take away the weight that would other wise be attached to its recommendations. sent to. It is true that Major REED has, for the second time, yielded to ministerial blandishment, and refrained from pressing an inconvenient mo tion. But, notwithstanding the defection of a self-constituted leader, the fiscal reformers will proceed steadily and energetically—they will not yield a single point, without a fierce and de termined convict. They have had convincing proofs of the advantages to be obtained by un ceasing and determined agitation, and the ilftill profit by the salut ary l esson. * Now that the reduction of the impost has been virtually accomplished their work has only begun, so far as the second phase of the question is concerned. The burden must now be more fairly and equitably apportioned. The wide dis tinction between the proceeds of accumulated and realised property, and the precarious earnings of industry must be fully and unequivocally recog nised. We must obtain justice for industry ! Now that the fiscal reformers are " well in har ness" they must not be contented with a single concession. If they only continue their exertions they will obtain a new and far more equitable assessment, that will at least approximate to something like fair play. We shall, of course, hear the Chancellor of the Exchequer. If he submits gracefully to the popular will, clearly and distinctly expressed, well ! If not, another storm must be let loose against him, from which he will soon be anxious to crave forbearance. As we have repeatedly explained it is useless to hope that the impost will ever be completly surrendered. The battle may as well be fought in 1857 as in 1860 ; and were we even assured that the burden would be removed in that year there is no reason why the community should consent to gross and pal pable injustice, amounting to a complete swindle, for three years, two years, or even a twelvemonth. The game is in their own hands if they take due advantage of the golden opportunity before them. If not they will deserve the contumely with which they are treated, the robbery to which they are exposed. Let them still give " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," and no com bination of parties—no union of Whigs, Derbyites, and Aberdeenites—can long resist their just and equitable demands. It seems we are to have in all likelihood, before much longer, a visit here in London, f-om that very outlandish gentleman FERUKIE KHAN, the Persian Envoy Extraordinary and Mister Pleni potentiary. It is very sincerely to be hoped that while FERUKI KHAN is receiving our hospitalities —such hospitalities at least as can be accorded in simple courtesy to the Ambassador from a declared foe—the war with his Imperial master may be carried on by the British Fleets and the British Forces with the utmost vigour and determination. We cannot insist too often, or too earnestly, upon the necessity of our Ministers ever keeping in their recollection the memorable warning against this country ever embarking again upon a Little War, proneunced some years ago by the authoritative lips of the Duke of WELLIMSTON. A Little War the Duke considered, wisely and humanely considered, to be a Great Evil. It is even more than this, in truth, to our thinking. It is not only a Great Evil, but a Great Crime. It is the wanton and idle squandering to no purpose of so much blood, of so much gold, of so many lives, of so much treasure. The ravaging of a territory, the desolation of a community, the ruin of a people, the devas tation of cities, the violation of social exist ence, the profanation of the temples of Religion— all this, and more than all this—because of the merely pettifogging spirit of a parsimonious or a I..landering Administration. A. now and frightful theory of war has latterly come in to the obvious, and inevitable, and enormous enhancement of the horrors naturally resulting from this blun dering and from this parsimony. It was the sys tem upon which England entered, together with France, Turkey, and Sardinia, into the late war with the legions of the Russian AUTOCRAT. The avowed system of fighting at the mouth of the cannon and of the rile, at the edge of the sword and at the point of the bayonet, with a pre conceived and pre-announced determination, in the event of victory, not to injure or humiliate the enemy l A monstrous system. An inhuman system. A system which is literally an incentive to battle—an encouragement to our antagonists— a provocation to more wanton, more continuous, and more disastrous carnage. If war is to be made at all, it ought to be made thoroughly. If it originates in some glaring outrage on the part of the aggressor that outrage ought to be expiated on his part, by his oppo nent doing him not only injury, but the ut most possible amount of injury, by his subjecting him not merely to humiliation, but to the utmost possible degree of humiliation. It was so in the old times, when men fought in earnest as we pre tend to fight, namely, in the name of Right, of Truth, and of (Justice. And the wars thus fought were, what proved in their result, to be the most securely productive of Peace, not simply nominal and illusory, but complete and protracted. So— for nearly half a century—the great sea fights of the world were ended with the grand and crown ing thunder-crash of Trafalgar. So—for the same interval in Europe—the great land battles of the continent closed with the tremendous can nonade at Mont St. Jean and at Hugoumont The Navy Estimates for the ensuing year were yesterday presented to the House of Commons, iu pursuance of the pledges to tkat effect gives by Sir G. C. LEWIS. A vigorous economy is clearly perceptible in every line, and that, we rejoice to say, without any material abatement of the effi ciency of that very important branch of the na tional service. More than a moiety of the total cost has been struck off at one fell swoop. The full amount of the reduction is not perceptible in the first instance, the present demand being 8,109,168/. against 15,812,1271., the sum claimed last year. But in the present estimate the coast-guard service and naval coast volunteers are included, for which last year there was a sepa ' rate charge, amounting to 486,0281. ; so that the actual sum provided by the Exchequer was 16,298,0551., about a quarter of a million more than the gross receipts from the obnoxious Income Tax. The total saving will be no less than 8,188,98 V. ; so that, as every penny in the pound produces a million sterling per annum, the Chancellor of the Exchequer can afford to relin quish half of the unjust and oppressive impost on account of the navy savings alone. And when the reduction, even on the amended estimates, in the military and ordnance departments are taken into account, the entire saving in the national armaments will amount to nearly 18,000,0001. This comparison, be it remembered, is made with a year of peace, and, therefore, the entire Income Tax may be given up without any demand for a substitute ; and, if the Financial Minister be closely pressed, there is no doubt that he can, at all events, gracefully yield to the popular demand, and consent to the total repeal of the War Income Tax Acts, and fall back on the sd. in the pound provided by Mr. GLA.DSTONE'S Act of 1853. This is the only possible way in which he can vindicate his reputation from the stain of the " pettifogging quibble," and prove that he did not seek to take advantage of a mere oversight, which any man in , rivate life would be ashamed to avail hioa4elf of. The Times now tells u', with an affectation of gracious condescension, that it " believes that the just wishes of the public are to be gratified, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will announce to-morrow that he is prepared to relinquish the 9d. (!) in the pound of extra Income Tax, which was imposed to meet the exigencies of the war I" " Thank you for nothing, said the Gallipot." We are not indebted either to Sir G. C. Limns, or to his trusty henchman of Printing-house-square, for the concession. had we adopted the disinterested advice of the leading journal, and considered it " scarcely worth while to talk very strongly about the Income Tax before we knew the extent of the *necessary evil, and how much money was wanted," or believed that "it was equally useless to protest against any tax that happened to be galling us," we shotild have been complimented by Sir G. C. LEWIS, and permitted to pay the full 16d. in the pound, which would doubtless have been applied to pay off a portion of the public debt, or in some other way exceedingly gratifying to the Money ocracy. But the People, thoroughly aroused, took the matter into their own hands. They would not believe that " the oscillations of the needle of the War Income Tax were beginning to yield to the strong attraction of 1858, and to show evident signs of settling down at that point in the compass." They thought it well worth their while to fight against what they were assured was their inevit able destiny. And thus, having pnt forth their mighty and irresistible power, and given the Chancellor of the Exchequer a hint almost as sig nificant as that given to the intruding Irishman, who was " kicked down stairs," they have re versed their destiny, and obtained an adequate reward for their exertions. We again tell the Times, and its patron and friend, that the extra war tax is not 9d., but 1 ld. But for the legislative mistake in adopting the word ratification of the Treaty, in place of conclusion of the Wax, the tax would be but sd. in the p o und, and that is all that the people will con- Either the sword ought not to be drawn at all, or, being drawn, it ought to be " driven home," in stead of being employed for the wanton effusion of human blood, and the wanton waste of human lives. If the Peace of the World is violated— that violation of the Peace of the World, with a view to its future consummation, ought, in rea son, in truth, in justice, in humanity, to be avenged. So should it be with regard to Persia. So should it have been with regard to Rus sia. So had it been. in regard to Russia, we should never have heard of the stab bing of the wounded in the Crimea, of the murder of the boat's crew at Hango-Udd, of the cold-blooded butchery of the Turkish sailors at Sinope. All that can be learnt now in refer ence to the doings of our seamen and of our sol diers in the Persian Gulf, since the seizure of Karrak and the capture of Bushire, is that they are doing—nothing I At the most that the Bri tish squadron has been pottering about some where in the neighbourhood of the Persian fort of Mohammarah, near the mouths of the Shatt al-Arab. Meanwhile, the Saes, declaring a Holy War against his English assailants, and mustering his forces with "hot haste" in the in terior of his empire ! Are we ever thus to have the horrors of war aggravated by needless delays and procrastinations ? Are we ever henceforth to have the atrocity of war enhanced by beginning it with the announcement to the foe that we do not intend to bring down upon them either harm or humiliation ? The documents we published on Saturday must satisfy :All who took the trouble to examine them that, even in the affair of the Arrow, the British autly.irities were legally as morally right. We did apprehend at first that there might have been technical error, though the broad facts of the case i‘ Feb. 11. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12. 1857. were such as to satisfy all but the devotees of routine, and to justify our Commissioner and Admiral in acting as Statesmen rather than as red tapists. We only want a little more of their decision nearer home. A brutal savage, who converts the fairest spot in Europe into a prison, , till his gaols are so full that he is obliged to con vert his victims into South American exile-colo nists, would, on the testimony of Lord J. RUSSELL, have been none the worse had his palace been threatened with similar treatment to that bestowed upon the " yamun" of the Canton 'Viceroy. It is now clear that the Arrow was both de facto and de jure a British vessel ; that the Mandarins hauled down the British lag ; that they know ingly violated the Treaty by arresting au alleged criminal otherwise than through the British Con sul ; and that they intended a wanton insult to the British, an insult in which, but for the firm ness of Consul, Commissioner, and Admiral, they I would afterwards have gloried. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. DOWNPATRICK. The polling booths were opened yesterday morn ing at 8 o'clock, and shortly after that hour the agent of Mr. Johnstone raised a technical objection to the registry of votes. The assessor stated that the objection could only be decided by a Committee of the House of Commons. One was then re corded for Mr. Johnstone ; for Mr. Ker there wet.' 137 votes polled. It is also clear that the principal demand of the Admiral is one which YEll has no pretence for evading ; not only by the general Treaty after the war have the British and other foreigners right of free entrance into Canton, just as into the other four ports ; but, though the right was waived for a time, the agreement with KEY-INa, y Ell 's predecessor, settles that question. It was made in April 6, 1847, and states explicitly that " it is therefore now agreed that two years from this day's date, British officers and people shall have free entrance into the city." After April, 1849, therefore the savage Viceroy had no excuse for excluding us ; and the error has really c3nsisted in allowing seven years to pass on with ont enforcing the terms of the agreement. It may be very well at this distance to pretend that it would be of no advantage to our trade to insist on free intercourse with the city and the Chinese autho rities—but the fact stares us in the face, that not only does offioial opinion in the East negative this conjecture, for it is no better ; but all private letters from Canton, a❑d, above all, the merchants whose trade and property suffer by the proceed ings, take the directly opposite ♦iew. They repre sent the natives as willing to trade with us, and ascribe all the resistance to the Tartar Govern ment, and its employing, for purposes of its own, the vilest of the rabble to injure and annoy foreigners. It will be seen from the documents that the evidence of the wanton attempt to inflict humiliation ou the British was complete. The vessels of war wore at some dis tance, and present impunity was therefore certain ; but the evidence on which was founded the demand for full satisfaction, such satisfaction as should teach all the subjects of the Viceroy that he must be humbled who attempted to humble the British, could not well be stronger. The vessel had a British Master THOMAS KENNEDY— we have his affidavit ; the master was breakfast ing on bo ar d t h e l orc h a D ar t, fifty yards ahead of the Arro w , w i t h J OHN LEACH, who speaks of the Dart as hi s vessel—we have his affidavit. Both of these persons understood a little of Chinese. Two Chinese sailors themselves, one of them be longing to the Arrow, were also examined—we have their affidavits. On the testimony of these four persons we are informed that several Chinese boats, with a con siderable number of officers and men in them, were ssen to leave the Dutch Folly and near the Arrow ; that they boarded her ; that the Manda rin ordered a subordinate to haul down the Bri tish ensign from the mizen-gaff ; and soon after the blue-Peter, which was flying at the foremast head, was hauled down also ; that the master, with two captains of other vessels, immediately put off to the Arrow ; and that, having bound all the others, at the master's request, the Mandarins left him two persons with the vessel. According to the Chinese sailors' statement, before the master re turned on board they pretended it was not a foreign vessel, in spite of the flag, the name painted in large characters, and the assurances of the sailors. But even after IiENI4EDY came on board, they still rowed off with tie men they had seized. It will not be creditable, after this, to raise again the question of the intention of the Chinese and their Governor. The question of the ownership of the Arrow is also finally set at rest. She was the property of a colonial resident at Hong Kong ; and so far from having obtained a registry collusively or by corruption, as was insinuated by YEH, the whole question of ownership happened to be one of un usual notoriety. The vessel was taken from pirates ; and sold by the Chinese ; the first owner made a c l a im upon her after she had been pUr chased, and she became t he subject of an Admi ralty trial, and finally of au arbitration. As the result, the Mr. BLOCK referred to by TELL advanced the money to HONG AMINO, the present owner of the vessel, to complete the purchase, instead of receiving it for cor r upt purposes. The treaty with China, it s h o uld be added, ex p ress ly prov id es f or this class of vessels being treated as British vessels, and the regulations also provide that such vessels, if they have sailed before the time of receivin g the licence, are to renew it on their return. What, then, would those who wish the Tartar rulers to enforce the exclusion of Englishmen from the city and from intercourse with the Chinese have us do ? Are we to go on for another cen tury or two tolerating this selfish, and, to the natives, ibarbarising policy ? Is trade to be another name for submission to every degrada- tion which barbarian caprice sees fit to offer ? And are the Austrians of China to glorify them selves to the natives as those who can treat the powerful " barbariaus from the W est " as the y please ? Surely it is neither humanity nor j ustice, to China itself, to suffer civilisation to be rejected, snubbed, insulted, and refused intercourse by their savage and obstinate Tartar masters. For bearance to enforce the Treaty and the agreement of 1847 has only emboldened proud and obstinate Governors t o presume o n our supposed want of courage. Th e i r w h o l e course of dealing with foreigners had become intolera ble. The Treat y had remedi e d a ll t hi s a t the other ports, and it became hi g h ti me that no f u rther insult should be tolerated. Wh atever t h e i s sue, and we do not believe it ca n be a di s tant one, the thanks of com mercial men are due to our Canton au thorities for teaching th e C h i nese th a t English merchants, attached as th e y are to trade, are not prepared to lick the dust of Tartar feet.

This certainly is the age of irreverence if it be the age of " we'll stand no nonsense " also. There is this to be said for our contemporary, if he is irreverent it is with good purpose and to beneficial account. The cartoon for the week represents John Bull "up " for punishment, and Lewis with a cat-o'-nine-tails pendant as whipper in. Poor John, maugre his fat ribs, looks suffering and exhausted enough to occasion the interference of the gay and sprightly " Pam," the surgeon in attendance, who, "sprig a' mouth," and watch and pulse in hands, and with the oddest expression of devil-may-care pity, dashed with scepticism in the world, exclaims to Lewis, who is about to strike, " Stop Lewis ! He's had enough." Descend ye nine ! STRAND THEATRE. The fortunes of this little theatre are decidedly in the ascendant, and Mr. Buckingham's new comic drama, "Don't Lend y our U m b re ll a, " may be pronounced one of the greate-t dramatic hits of the season. The acting is excellent throughout. Setting apart Mathews, it would be difficult to find a better representation of Bird saye than Mr. Kinloch, whose performance must greatly enhance his already established reputation. Mr Clarke is quaintly humorous as Quill, and Miss Percy gives much promise of future excellence. Nor must we forget Miss Craven, whose Lucy gives us ample reason to pre dict for her a brilliant professional career. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FEE. 12.
