A REVIEW OP BRITISH FINANCES IN 1855 The finances of a country even during' a time of peace must always form one of the highest considerations of the executive Government: and when war enters into the elements of national expenditure, the highest efforts of financial skill are as essen tial to the 6tiecess and stability . of Government, as the genius and courage of the General entrusted to direct the movements of the forces at his command. The warrior and the financier are in such cases beset with difficulties on every side that are continually changing their character. At one time they must be prepared to meet them with boldness and courage, without fearing the dreadful cost at which success can only be purchased : while at another, discretion and sound judgment are far more valuable than either. The history of the last war immortalised the name and career of William Pitt : and though modern statesmen have attempted to show that his financial system for carrying on a costly and protracted war was based upon false principles, they :have failed to show how victory would have been obtained without it. Nothing is easier for a mere theo rist than to question the policy of a public man when time has swept away the difficulties that encompassed his position, and hence the errors that were promulgated at the commencement of the present war as to the principle upon which th e mea n s should be raised for conducting it properly. It was here that Mr. Gladstone committed a grave mistake when lie permitted himself to be influenced by the delusive charm of paying for the war as he went on, by raising the amount by taxation within the year. But although this plan was vin dicated, and set forth, with remarkable plausibility, in the columns of a semi-official organ of the government until the delusion was dispelled by dire necessity, we never for a single moment allowed it to be countenanced in our columns, and what we wrote in January, 1855, we have no need to retract in January, 1856. • On the 13th of January last year we made the following remarks on the revenue returns :-- "At a time when we are carrying on a costly war, the termi nation of which cannot be calculated ; when we are told that " we must pay as we go on," these returns demand• the most serious attention of the nation. On the total income of the country, the inerease only amounts to £2,291,356 for the past year. " It is not for us to decide whether we arc to carry on war upon credit or for cash we may trace in the finance department the main secret of the false economy which has been practised, and the intimate cause of our numerous failures in the prosecution of it. We have repeatedly stated, that suc cessful war and sound commerce and finance are insep arable. We have nothing to do with the political bearing of the subject in question ; but we believe that the financial re sources of this great empire have been managed with as much indiscretion and want of judgment as the military and naval departments of the State. We have bound ourselves with preconceived theories in war, commerce, and finance, instead of launching out boldly to meet the altered circumstances in which we are placed, and the changes of the times in which we live. In vain do our heroes go forth to do battle for their country, if we confine our plans and our actions to a paltry economy. It is the economy of life, and not of money that England requites." Within a few months after writing this the Government was compelled to give up Mr. Gladstone's long cherished theory of paying for the war by an annual amount of taxation, by con tracting for a loan. But it is impossible to calculate the amount of difficulties which were entailed upon it by his rigid adhe. rence to a principle which bore upon the face of it an impossi bility in practice. We shall now give a brief outline of the financial state of the country during the year that has just terminated, in which we shall set forth the principal facts which have transpired in the fiscal and financial arrangements of the Government. The Finance Minister of this country is so far a free agent that he is subject to no defined principles of action, but has, in a great degree, the right of making his selection as to the taxes he wishes to impose or remit, subject, of course, to the considera tion of his colleagues in the Cabinet ; so that a change in this department of the Administration may lead to opinions of the most opposite character ; this has been clearly seen in the financial statements of Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone. What views the present Chancellor of the Exchequer entertains upon the principles of taxation have yet to he known, so far as the past year is concerned we cannot consider him in any way responsible for the means adopted to meet the heavy expenditure entailed upon the Treasury by the war : for being installed into office on a sudden emergency, there was no course left open to him but to follow in the steps of his pre decessor, and make the best of the means placed at his command. The finances of 18:55 are therefore the result of Mr. Gladstone's legislation rather than that of Sir George Cornewall Lewis. The exact amount of the national revenue at the beginnin7 of 1853 stood at £56,822,510 against £54,531,154, being an increase of £2,291,356. This was the result of Mr. Gladstone's means for providing for the war, at the close of the first year after its commencement, from the ordinary sources of revenue. The results for each quarter compared with those of the cones- Pending quarters i❑ 1853 being as follows :- Ist quarter .. £ 363,040 increase. 2nd do 3rd do 369,587 decrease. 857,336 increase. 1,440,007 Increase. The total expenditure during the same period compared with 1854, was as follows : Total Expenditure in 1854. Total Expenditure in 1855. Ist quarter £10,076,287 £20,834,896 3rd ditto 4th ditto 7,775,779 20,906,995 18,653,940 27,886,908 27,253,258 24,268,520 Increase 57,413,001 £42,830,581 100,243,532 The above statement shows the extent to which the wir had increased the expenditure of the country at the end of twenty one months after the declaration of hostilities, The effect of this upon the finances of the treasury, after taking into consi deration the funds raised upon exchequer-bonds, exchequer - bills, and the loan of £16,000,000, has been to create the following deficits upon each quarter of 1855 : let quarter Deficits in 1855. .. £3,495,615 ~. 3,306,463 853,442 .. 3,879,750 2nd do 3rd do 4th do The year 1855 opened upon the Finance Minister with the prospect of an annual expenditure amounting to 90 or 100 millions sterling, wnich was nearly double the amount of the ordinary revenue in time of peace ; this was sufficient to dispel all the illusions which Mr. Gladstone and the school of econo mists to which he belonged, indulged as to the possibility of paying for the war simply by an increase of taxation. He had, however, the honour of propounding an increase in this direc tion, which, it was intended, should produce £6,880,000 per annum from the following articles in May, 1854 : Income tax Spirit duties Sugar duties, Malt duty.. £3,280,000 450,000 700,000 2,450,000 Total . Mr. Gladstone's estimate of the duty to be yielded by the increased malt tax was made upon a consumption of 40,000,000 bushels, the quantity consumed in 1853 having been 41,992,178 bushels; but in 1854 the consumption diminished to 36,812,727 bushels, which was sufficient alone to reduce Mr. Gladstone's estimate by £1.035,000 ; a faLtt which proved the uncertainty of increasing the revenue by indirect taxes. The present Chancellor of the Exchequer commenced his official career under circumstances of no ordinary difficulty. Ho bad to appear before the country with a balance sheet showing a deficit of 3 millions (13,495,615). The ordinary revenue for the year ended March 31, 1853, was £58,764,576 against £52,076,526 in 1854, being an increase of £6,688,050. This fact carried sufficient weight with it to show the impossibility of meeting the expenses of the war, without appealing to the money market for a loan. On the 12th of April, 1855, a letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer was addressed to the Governor and Deputy_ Governor of the Bank of England, to intimate that Govern uncut would be ready to see parties desirous of contracting fur a loan on the 16th of April, when the particulars were made known for the sum of £16,000,000 ; the contractors for every £lOO snbscribed were to receive £lOO Three per Cent Canso lidated Annuities, and a terminable annuity for 30 years, in which the h tidings were to be made. The interest on the consolidated annuities to commence on the sth of January, 1855, and that on the terminable annuity from the sth of April, 1855. The payments to be made in nine instalments, including the deposit, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Bankers' Circular of the 21st of April last. The budget of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, in April, 1855 comprised a demand for £86,339,000, towards which provision }rid only been made for £63,339,000, leaving a deficiency of £23,000,000 to be supplied from other sources. This sum was to be met by A Loan 0f.., Extra Taxes Exchequer Bills £16,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 £23,000,000 The articles on which the extra taxes were to be levied were Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Spirits, Bankers' Cheques, and an addition of 1 per cent, to the previous rate of income tax. The state of the revenue and expenditure to the 31st of March, 1855, which terminated the financial period of Mr. Gladstone, was as follows : Revenue from Taxes Exchequer -bonds Excbequer-bills ... . £59,496,154 5,375,513 1,750,000 Total Revenue , Actual Expenditure • 6 6,621,667 • 65,692,962 Surplus The above balance is exclusive of £5,020,000 in taxes due to March 31st and not collected . Mr. Gladstone estimated the expenditure of the year to March 31st, 1855, at 51,198,000; but the actual sum was 65,692,962, being an increase of X 14,494,962. The Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated the expenditure , for the year ending the 31st of March, 1856, including a credit of £3,000,000 and £1,000,000 for Sardinia, at £80,899,561, -the sum required to make- the -total of £86,339,000, being made up by a still further margin , of credit to, the extent of £4,440,000, and a loan of £1,000,000 obtained from the Savings' Banks. Assuming, therefore,' tlie entire amount of credits taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to be as above, the public liabilities created in consequence of the war, were as follows Exchequer-bonds Exchequer-,bills, 1854-5 Loan 1855 Exchequer-bills, 1855 Additional credit, 1855 Savipgs' Banks Loan , £6.000,000 1,750,000 16,000,000 3,000,000 4,400,000 1,000,000 £32,150,000 ctual increase of When this sum is compared with revenue derived from the necessary sources of intone, we see the utter impossibility of meeting a heavy war expenditure by taxation alone ; for while the net income derived from this source during the past year has amounted to £64,457,993, the supply services have amounted to £55,731,830, which is ex clusive of the interest on the public debt, and the ordinary charges upon the consolidated fund. The total increase on ordinary revenue for the year ended the 31st of December. 1855, compared with the correspondinv period of 1854, was £8,133,396; but of this sum £6,517,526 was derived from the property and income tax : so that the other means only yielded an increase of £1,615,870. • These are facts that have an important significance at the present moment. How far the proposals for peace may affect the interests of the country. it is at pesent too early to speculate upon ; our-object is to shew what war has already entailed upon the country, and the point from which we start at the com mencement of another year. We have spent a hundred millions of rnoneyduriug the past twelve months, and have entered into engagements for still further amounts. The great question then to solve is, how are they to be raised ? The income.;tax has hitherto served as the most formidable friend to the Govern ment But whether it can be increased under the present principle, without inflicting upon the middle classes a very dangerous oppression is a question the Chancellor of the 11 do well to consider. We are fully aware that Exchequer his task is by speak of our na duration, and illimitable in their extent. Bu We are accustomed to ost inexhaustible in their Minister s-. - ho has to extract from them a hundred millions per annum in hard cash, cannot venture to deal with vague gener alities. lie must fix upon something that is tangible : and while he demands a portion of the produce of industry and commerce, he must avoid throwing any obstacle in the way of increasing production. He must not " kill the goose that lays the golden eggs." Industry and commerce alone can produce it. Let the Government then determine to encourage these, and +he people of England will never fail to support it liberally and cheerfully. There is yet a great weight upon its shoulders; but the nation cannot afford to submit to an ignominious peace. In a few days the public will be made acquainted with the facts of our real position. The events of the past leave us nothing to dread for the future, if they who direct the affairs of the State will act with honesty and justice towards the people.—Bankers' Circular. POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY ♦ (BEFORE MR MANSFIELD.) SAVAGE ASstkELT ON A POLICE OFPICER.—A Young man, named George Tinsley, a butcher, was brought up in custody, charged with having, with three other men not in custody, committed Pn unprovoked and most brutal assault on police-officer 218. About half past four o'clock on Saturday morning the officer was on duty in Breck-road, and, hearing a disturbance, he hastened to the spot whence the sounds came. He found that the parties making the noise were the prisoner and the other men, and he advised them to desist, and t o go qu i et l y to their homes. He had scarcely uttered the words, when the prisoner and his companions, in a most cowardly and unmanly manner, turned on him, and committed on the unfortunate man as savage and brutal an assault as has ever been brought under the notice of a Police-court. His hat and stick were taken from him, and thrown aver the wall ; another of his assailant. , unloosed his belt, and ..heat him with the buckle about the head, while the prisoner knelt on his chest and pummelled his face. As the prisoner's passion increased his savage propensities were soon developed. He seized the officer , with his teeth, but when the latter cried out that he was biting his nose off, and on his companions telling him not to do so, he desisted. The other men then ran away, and the prisoner attempted to follow hint, but the officer succeeded in holding him until assistance arrived. when ha was secured and lodged in bridewell. Mr. Mansfield intimated that he would send him for trial, but remanded him for a week in order that a warrant may be issued in the interim. Two sailors, named Charles Wilmer and Samuel Jackson, were fined £5 each for assaulting a police officer while on duty in the Bramlev '-‘ioore-dock. ROBBERY EY A BUTLER —A respectably df o-sod, m 7 ddls aged man, named Christopher Shepherdson, was brought up ~ n atodo of detective officer Povrv, charged with stealina• a quantity of plate, valued at £35, the property of M Schilizzi corn merchant of Liverpool, in who as as butler, It ared that he was in Mr. Sehilizzi's employment for about nine months, and so great was the confidence placed in him that plate to the value of £4OO was intrusted to his sole care. On Thursday last he called at the pawn-office of. Mr. Green, of Brownlow-hill, and pledged a prir ,of trowsers, and Mr. Green, at whose shop he had pledged some months previously articles of plate, suspecting that all was not right, gave information of the circumstance to the police. Pave)* accordingly tracked him to the house of Mr. Schilizzi, in Holly-row, Edge-lane, and on taxing him with the robberies he at once confessed his guilt, but pleaded that his crime had been the consequence of want. (His wages were £37 a year, and both his own appearance and that of his wife, who appeared im court with an infant in her arms, and who was deeply affected at the position of her husband, indicated comfort and respectability.) On being searched, several pawn tickets were found on him, till it was then diFcovered that he had pledged other portions of plate at different offices. In consideration of the excellent character vihich he bore previous to the com mission of :the robbery for which he was now committeed, Mr. Mansfield committed him for six months, with hard labour, in place of sending him for trial at the sessions. As to the plate T ledged, Mr. Mansfield said that he would follow the course pursued by the Recorder in such cases, and order that it be restored to Mr. Schilizzi ; but, as it had been recovered through the exertions of Mr. Green, he would recommend Mr. Schilizzi to reimburse that gentle man in the amount of his advances. Mr. Schilizzi im mediately expressed his readineqs to do FO. (BEFORE MR. MAXWELL AND MR. BENN.) A little girl, about ten years of age. nam , d Mary Carnes, was charged with stealing five monkey jackets, from the shop of Messrs. Williams and Hughes, Scotland-road. She went. into the shop with four other young girls, and while they endeavoured to direct the attention of the parties in the shop, she ran off with the jackets. When arrested, the property was found with her. She was remanded, to give time for the apprehension of her companions. Philip M‘C - ormick, Joseph Ray, and Thomas Ray, were brought 11D on remand, charged with stealing a quantity of copper nails from the ship Magna Charta, and discharged. THE CASE or MR. JACKSON.—Sir G. Grey has advised her Majesty to remit the remainder of .the sentence of 12 month's imprisonment passed by Mr. Wilson Overend upon Mr. Jackson, the pawnbroker of Doncaster. In so doing Sir G. Grey does not enter into the question of the innocence or guilt of the prisoner, but reverses the judgment of Mr. Overend upon the ground that the prisoner had not sufficient time and opportunity allowed him for preparing his defence. The following officers arrived in Cork barracks on Tuesday, with draughts from Templemore and Limerick —9th Riot—Lieutenant Stair N. Agnew, Ensigns George M. Chadwick and John H.'Bolt o n ; 13th Light - Infantry— Captain H. Maurice Jones and Lieut. Duncan Stewart ; 39th Foot—Captain James Agnew and Ensign Robert Gray; • 41st Foot—Captain William AUClellan Lambert and Ensign Guildford M. Onslow ; 47th Foot—Captain Nathaniel G. Philips. in commend; Ensigns Spencer, E. Orr, and Robt. T. J. Stammers ; nth Foot—Lieutenants John Um. Trevor and Cotton E. Theobald. THE COUNTESS OF ELLE,MERS'S JEWEL,—The valuable missing jewels of the noble countess, lost on Teusday after noon from a cab, while in charge of a servant, proceeding from Bridgewater House to the Padilington railway statiou, had not, we understand, been recovered up to Saturday afternoon, although from th,e first moment that Lord Elles mere was made acquainted with the loss, while at Windsor Castle, the most unremitting inquiriji and exertions have been made to trace or recover the property. A reward of £5O has been offered for their recovery. SEVERE THUNDER STORM AND•EXTRAORDINARY EFFECTS OF THE ELECTRIC FLUID.—BRISTOL, THURSDAY EVENING. —A little before ten o'clock this morning a portion of the outskirts of this city was visited by a thunder-storm of a remarkable character. The night had been exceedinglv boisterous, the wind blowing heavily from the west and south-west, and the rain falling in torrents , but bey on d a very considerable fail in the barometer there was nothing to predicate any electrical phenomenon. At about 9.50 a.m., it became suddenly very dark, and the rain fell with great violCitce, and a thundercloud broke directly over the top of the Hotwell-road, at its junction with Limekiln lane, doing, extensive damage at the house of Mr. Henry Fitzgerald, the Melbourne Tavern, Melbourne-terrace. Upon the bursting of the thunder-cloud the electric fluid descended the bar parlour chimney with a loud, sharp Sound, like that caused by the explosion of a small piece of artillery, passed through the bar, shivered the brass rods of the curtain to pieces and shattered into fragments the entire 'glass frontage from top to bottom and from end to end. The shelf and decanters were also demolished, and nOthing was left standing of the front but some l ong fragments of plate glass, in their form like icicles. Two persons narrowly escaped with their lives. A gentleman was in the bar parlour, and so near the course taken by the electric current, that by the mere displacement of the air he was thrown violently against the wall; and Mrs. Fitzgerald. sen., the landlord's mother, was sitting at the time behind the bar counter. The hotise after the occur rence vas filled with a peculiar sulphurous smell, and upon the roof of the house being examined, the chimney-pot upon being touched fell to powder. THE SABBATH-DEFENCE MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOE OP THE NOITHERIP TIMES. The article of a correspondent in. your paper to-day, en the Sabbath defence meeting, is only what might have been expected after such a meeting from one of his school of Rationalism; the meeting has proved - to be a severe knock oft his corns, and he cries out evidently • in pain.; as for the objects of" that meeting being, as he says, "to tighten the bonds, already tight enough, in which onr labouring popu lation plods unwearily along," is, to say the least of it, mis-stating the question altogether. . Convert the Sabbith into a day of pleasure' arid amusement, as your correspon dent would, and that would create labour for the working man, and impose upon him bonds that he has no desire for .. —from my connection with, r.nd knowledge c working clams, I am in 'a positi.'n to that the really sober, industrious, intelligent, an( gious of OA working classes would consider such a-S as your correipondent advocates, more a curse th sing to them. Your correspondent says " Were' w though he, wisely for hims( not venture suet' .an attempt. No doubt he, and like him, think this an easy t as k ; so th oug ht S atar _ _ we could. easily quote ;" as angel of Ught he quoted. but his quotation row quotation, and The arch-deceiver was toiled ; and like him try the trick must fail. The Bible is plain to him who reads aright, and w heart is in the right place. And what does the Bible " The carnal, mind is enmity against God ; and is sabjcct to the law of God, neither ini can it be." ' And why ? Because such a, r discerns not spiritually—not according to the spirit of gospel—but carnally, according to the' maxims and' 13( of the world, as your correspondent evidently does; doing so, views it through a false medium. Now, does the law say ? It says, among other things, 6 ' Thou shalt not kill ;" but the same law also says—'!Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." How can your cor respondent get over this quotation ? Does he mean to say that the Fourth Comma n d ment i s no t as much a part of the moral law as the Sixth, or any other of the Ten Com mandments; and that this moral law is not binding on us; Christians at the present' day ? What does our 4 " Great Maiter" who was Lord o f th e S a bb at h , [say :—" I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfil it." And • the man who came to our Saviour and said he had kept ill the commands from his youth up, was commended bf him for so doing—" thou doest right" —so much for " our great Master's life and teaching," to which your correspon dentt, unfortunately for hims e lf, alludes. The question resolves itself into this, " Are we to observe the moral law or not ?" If you throw aside one of the commands of that law, why not throw them all away as so much waste paper ? But I scarcely think your correspondent will venture so far. though consistently he should ; before he accuses others of being inconsistent, he should be- consistent himself. Now, as a specimen of his consistency he' says, , 6 We are in , favour of no innovation, of no desecration." Now isithe throwing open of public places of amusement on the Lord's Day, and making it instead of a Christian Sabbath a Continental Sabbath, which is no Sabbath at all, no innovation—no desecration ! As well say light is , darkness, and darkness light. Again, as to our great Master's teaching, we hope we know the spirit of that teaching. The Pharissees in his day were what we call professors in our day—men who observe outward forms of religion, but have no inward living spiritual principle; and it was this snook observance of •the Sabbath' that our great Master's teaching was especially directed against; not against the true worshippers, who worshipped in spirit and in truth. As for our Saviour's life, as regards the Sabbath, he and his disciples observed it by meeting together on that day for religious service, and your correspondent is labouring under a sad mistake if he supposes Christ's life in any way favoured such an observance as he calls rational. As for-thelrowing intelligence "being on his side," that is only a figure of speech. and easy to use ; it may , be a wordly intelligence, a mammon knowledge, but that is all, and the Bible says, "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." The nation that honours God, he will honour ; take away our Christian Sabbaths, and we s:t aside his law, and dishonour him; and when a nation forgets God, that nation's fa'l is riot far distant, her glory is departed, the Bible and history attest this great fact, A SUBSCRIBER. Liverpool, 25th January, 1856. [Contrary to our usual practice we have given insertion to the above, although the writer has not given us his name or address..

Who is there that toil hard next to the working man, but the clerks equal to them ? Take one single instance out of 1, hundreds. The young man is bound an apprentice, for five years, for which he receives the liberal sum of £lOO ; he is expected to appear well dressed, write a good hand, &c., the first year or two he is taught Custom House work, the third year he Is allowed to report a steamer at the Custom-house, write out manifests, and to despatch her—which always goes away in a hurry—the consequence is, you are over-worked, late nights com mence, must wait at the consuls for her, papers, which, after a quantity of sealing, stamping, :&c., you receive, perhaps, at twelve or one o'clock at ,night, return to your office, and find your employer gone home some time ago, and a polite note left on your desk desiring you to see them put on hoard the steamer, or else you have to go to the captain's house, he, no doubt, living at the north end of the town, and lat the south. These are the facts of, one single case, and, no doubt, many more could be brought forward to show the necessity of giving the working clerks some relaxation, but not in Sabbath breaking —no. I wi s h to urge on those gentlemen who attended the meeting on Tuesday, that at the time they are taking the interest of the working man to heart, let them a lso think of their own clerks, who are slaving for them from Monday morning till Saturday night. Now, I am far from wishing a secular Sabbath, because I think that God will visit us with his wrath, and vex es, with his sore displeasure ; b u t I would suggest to some o f our merchant princes that they should close their ofacee at one o'clock on Saturdays, so as to enable us to visit St. GeUrge's-hall, the Derby Museum, or the Parka, oz' any place of improvement, or amusement combined, that we might think proper, which is now closed against us: I believe that all our banks, most cotton brokers, and wholesale spirit merchants, close at that time on Satur days. I wish to ask these gentlemen, since they have, done so, have they fo un d th emse l ves worse off at the enter of the year for it'? Have their clerks taken advantage of this privilege by coming late on Monday morning ?--No Hoping that this will meet the eyes of some of the con scientious masters of this great commercial town, and that I may live to see the day when Saturdays are given for, a holiday, 1 remain yours, Ric., THE WORKING CLERK.
