IHE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1860. HIGH WATER, THIS DAY, AT LIVERPOOL. Hour. Height. 11fonxiNG Oh. 35m. 16f.. llin. EVENING FRLDA I', _FEBRUARY 24, 1860. THE DAY'S NEWS. In the House - of -- Lords yesterday afternoon, several bills were forwarded a stage—including a bill - which makes conspiracy to murder felony, it being now a mere misdemeanour. In the House of Commons, aSt 'night, after several- notices and questions had been put to, and answered by, the Government, the adjourned debate on Mr. Du Cane's resolution was resumed' by Mr. Ilubbard, who spoke in its support, followed on the same side by Mr. Blackburn, Beach, and Mr. Whiteside, who, referring to Mr. Bright, said that although that gentleman professed to support the Ministry on.. this .occasion, the contrary was the truth—it was the Ministry who supported him. Mr. Baines, Mr. Marsh, Mr..Byng, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Cardwell spoke against" the resolution: Sir F. Baring defended the treaty, but abused the Mr. Budget. O ur b oroug h mem b er, , I Horsfali, after alluding to the hardships caugetl to many trades by the actual, regulations, and finding ia;:,lt with various parts of ,the Budget ; - regretted that he could not suppart the resolution. Had it been au abstract' resolution against the increased Income tax, he could have given it his adhesion ; but he could 'not join in reprobating the proposal for away so many duties and restrictions which impeded the commerce and progress of the country. The debate was adjourned till this evening. Our latest foreign telegrams announce, it will be observed, that Austria has returned a definitive answer to the four points of the English proposal for a settlement of the Italian question. The reasons assigned for refusing that proposal are certainly not without weight, considered in relation to the peculiar circumstances 'of the Austrian empire. The motives by which the , Austrian Emperor professes_; tp be actuated may not appear sufficient to English ideas; yet they are - not, we repeat, without force. Howefer, the answer declares that, although declining the proposals, Austria will not, for the present, endeavour to undo by force of arms that which she cannot preventalthough she reserves to herself full liberty of action for the future. People are naturally looking out for some posi tive and practical evidences, on the. part of the French Emperor, of a more pacific attitude towards this Country, now that we are going to make so many sacrifices ,for .the, purpose of "drawing us closer together." 'hut they look in vain. " If," as the Morning Herald well observes, `.` the treaty were accompanied by an honest, an earnest, and 'a practical plan to diminish the armaments in both countries, and to' found a genuine alliance on the compact, there would 4r then be high poittlfitl reVons foe, opting it, though the commercial arguments ould still be rife against it: But his Imperial :Honesty dreams of no such real indication of peace: IVIr Cobden could move him to take our coal, our iron, and our 'Cali coes, but he could not move him to the only true sign of peace." Englishmen, therefore, are going to be fleeced for an " idea," which may in the end have the effect of strengthening the hands of an adversary, and, at the same time, weakening their own to resist him. . Mr. Cobden's French friend, M. Michel Chevalier, has - written a letter to some one in this country, which has got into print,?on the , subject of the treaty—more particularly with reference to the exportation of coal from this country. He .con tends that should England withhold that privilege, they could easily get coal elsewhere. But, he says; "the rejection of the article of the treaty would be an unfriendly act, and it would he taken for such in France. The cry would be raised of Perfidious Albion!' Our. great manufacturers would exclaim that they have•been duped about the reduction in the export duties on English coal. The moral and political effect expected from the treaty," he adds, " the drawing closer together of two great nations, would not be 'attained. And this would be the case even were the article to be struck out from the treaty . with the consent of the French GOvernment.' It is apparent, from this, how. difficult it will be to propitiate the French, unless we give them all they require, regardless of the disadVantages that . might thereby- ocesr to ourselves. The Times sees very formidable, if not fatal, "breakers a-head," which the Budget will have t 6 encounter in its progress thrOugh the House of Commons. This • alarm has,. Use'', ex:cited, it would seem, by the proceedings 'of the recent convention of hop delegates at Westminster. " The house," it. says, " we now learn from an eminent authority, is not to be trusted; nobody can answer for it ; it . inay or may not,„give the hop-growers all they want ; •so the hop-growers are to combine with the brewers, the distillers, the silk manufacturers, the shipbuilders, the papermaken, and everybody who is affected by the budget, not to obtain a consideration of their case, but simply to throw out. the Government." This may, or it may not, be true. But, if it be, what is the object? Why this combination to " throw out the Government ?" Why, but be cause it is a Government which all those who so combine are convinced is pursuing a course that will he ruinous to great interests of the country. We give, elsewhere, a copy of a memorial of the Liverpool Wine and Spirit Association, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, respecting the drawback on wine duty paid. It appears that there - will be no return of drawback, exeept to those 'who have complied with the minute of 1843, unless the trade should succeed in altering the mind of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; while there are other matters, it will be seen, referred to hi the memorial, to get which placed on an equitable basis will require the utmost .-efforts 4:the parties concerned.. - To-d 4 we give an ample report of the Dock Board proceedings of yesterday. The extracts we ?have made 'from the 'annual report of Admiral Evans, the conservator ,of the Mersey, on the state of the channels and the approaches to the port, will,, we are sure, he read with satisfiaction. The changes wrought by the tides, both in the sea channels and in the upper estuary, it appears have. still the effect of deepening and improving them in the most decided manner ; and the people of Liverpool receive this comforting assu rance, that so long as attention is paid to the plain and easy rules which have hitherto been acted upon, there will always be a 'good and . safe •- channul into Liverpool. What could he more ,essential to, the continued ,prosperity of the town? It will be 'observed that froM some, as yet, inexplicable cause, the experiments for con veying eleetric currents across the river without a conducting wire or cable, have proved a failure; - although the experimenter states that currents have so been passed across distances 'not less than the Mersey. WRITING in the interests of a great commercial town like Liverpool, we cannot for a moment be supposed to have any feeling towards commerce but one of high appreciation and respect. With: out commerce, Liverpool would have remained the poor fishing village it was less than a century ago; whereas, under the operation and influence of commerce, it has risen to be a town second in importance only to the great metropolis of the kingdom, and almost the greatest commercial emporium in the whole world: The benefits that have arisen from this, directly and indirectly, are of course incalculable ; not only in a lOcal but in a 'national point of View. Still even commerce, mighty though its effects thus are, must be sub ordinate to, or, at any rate, must be regulated by, other and controlling influences,—by political, moral, and social influences, without which, in deed, the very state of things under which alone it could be successfully pursued, would not be found to exist at all ; while even if it did, and the gains of commerce were never so great, its moral results would be intolerable. Now, it is necessary to bear this in mind; in eonsidering the course of legislation that is at thiS moment pro posed to be pursued by the Government of this country, and in calculating the issues that must of necessity arise. Even commerce, we repeat, must 19e subject to such control as may be • needful for the country's political and social security. And when a treaty of commerce with any foreign Power, especially, has to be entered into, there are great interests--not fiscal merely, but national and general—which can never be disregarded with impunity ; if the stability of the country's i nstitutions is to be maintained, and its welfare and prosperity perpetuated. When, therefore, we see it stated, that if such a treaty is not entirely defensible on strict commercial princi-, pies, it is not defensible at all, there is ignored the first great,principle which must, regulate such transactions. To think it enough to defend them on commercial principles only, we say, is to dis regard entirely the country's political position,— to make commerce superior to everything else, instead of keeping it in that subordinate situation . • in which alone it can operate successfully for the nation at large. Even the wisest general princi ples of commerce, and the most deliberately adopted course of action with respect to them, can never be happily carried out apart from political and social considerations. It would seem, however, to be the fashion of this liberal age, to think lightly of such conside rations as these; and we see this very remarkably exemplified, as respects the financial scheme of the pnsent CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the popularity of its reception. Mr. GLADSTONE himself is one who, in pursuing his present course,•is flying in the face of a principle of action which 112 w men, we believe, have che rished more warmly than he has himself. An . d this, we m a i n t a i n, were o f it se lf a . suspicious of cumstance. The fact is, that, in the lang'uag'e an eminent writer onpo litical philosophy, and them. * Sewell. FRANCE. I one ' whom we know e v en M r . G LADSTONE h as highly appreciated,- We have become ' practi cal men;' that is, men who either from indolence, . . or ignorance, )lavc discarded from our thoughts all high general:lSn:- ons, all abstract principles, and with them all necessafy truths. We have plunged ourselves into the business 'of the world, in which every thing is fluctuating and uncertain, till life to us becomes a medley of accidents, and our whole thoughts are confined to calculations of contingencies, and the balancing of probabili ties. In modern views, there is neither stability for institutions, nor permanence for doctrines. We see the great tide of popular will swelling and raging around us, tossed about with every wind, and threatening to swallow up whatever it attacks. And having no firm footing far our own belief, no eye which can reach into a higher and and purer atmosphere, whence we might look down serene and still upon all this stir and tumult, we become ourselves dizzy with the giddy Whirl, and dare not hope or strive for mare than to sink down at last in the torrent ourselves,- decently, without violence, and as late 'aS we can protract our fate. We have no.knowledge of immutable truth, and therefore no confidence in its power and its permanence. We feel left to our selves, to our own 'aim and our own eye. And we seize upon the first prop which offers, follow the first path which opens, with all the desperati of ignorance ; yet dare not advance boldly in any track, but look back at each step with trembling and vacilla On, aiid never haza r d a movemen t i n advance w bout securing a loophole for retreat. Our whole policy is full of apologies, compromises, concessions, conciliations, doubts, expediency, and experiment. And to make experiments with the fabric of , society, is as if a besieged garrison should amuse. themselves with trying the strength of their fortress by blowing up its walls. The very faCt of experimentalising upon such a sub ject shakes and undermines those prinCiples of 1 faith . and certainty on which the peace of society rests."* We have quoted these for -1 cible remarks at length; because they bear so closely upon the great subject of the - day. -- It, may seem strange to imply,—as implied it is in the observations we have here adopted,— that such a statesman as Mr. GLADSTONE " has no knowledge of immutable truth, and, therefore, no confidence in its power and its permanence." But the fact is, we believe, not that such a states man as he, really has no such knowledge and no such confidence, but that he allows such know ledge and such confidence to be overborne by other, and more popular, and, for the moment, more pressing coniiderations. As a politician, he has an object in view which he fears that know ledge and that confidence will obstruct him in the attainment of. Ile resigns himself, therefore, to the popular gale, and allows it to drift him into just such a course as he is now pursuing, amid the acclamations of those. whose " sweet voices " some men seem to esteem, and to enjoy, in preference even to the "still small voice" that whispers within It is in strict connection, then, with such re- flections as these that we express our concurrence in the timely observations of the horning Herald of yesterday, when it says,—" A nation is a continuity, and so ought to be the leading princi . pies on which it is conducted. The character of statesmen is the character of a country, their honour isits honour. Modification of opinions so that they may be adapted to the growing in telligence and necessities of the age, is indeed, proof of wisdoni, ''for without it sound pr6gress would be impossible ; but when twice in seven years men of matured experience fundrunentally change, nay, absolutely reverse their sentiments, we have not a case of modified opinion„ but an absolute abandonment of principle. What faith can be placed in such vacillation ? , What confidence can be reposed in the promises of such unblushing. ter4yersators ? Under such rule no merchant can regulate his business. Our colonists cannot count on the future. Everything becomes precarious. Investments of capital with a view to postponed advantages are fraught with danger. Prudence is banished from all undertakings. Such .a Government is based on the chapter. of accidents and the exigencies of party coalitions. To pre serve a Cabinet in office uncertainty is introduced in every commercial establishment, and the regular employment of industry is dependent on the whims and caprice of political combinations." Our con temporary'truly adds, that there is, however, a remedy for these evils, great and complicated though they be ; and that remedy is in the hands of the House of Commons and of the constituen2ies of the country. Let us not despair, then, but look forward with hope, that if, from the one there can be no redress obtained, the other will ultimately be appealed to, and with a happier issue. THE LATEST NEWS. TIT BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.I A second warning has been given to the Ocean, a journal of Brest, for having quoted part of the article for which La Bretagne was sup pressed. Some of the Paris journals state that it is ru moured that Count Walewski is shortly to leave Paris for Vienna, on an extraordinary mission. The Paris correspondence of the Times says a feeling is abroad that the Emperor is very desirous of coming to an arrangement with the Pope, such as would satisfy moderate men, and avert the . total separation of the Romagnas. It is said that a vicariate, and a lay govern ment''would, to a certain extent, appease the discontented. The clerical party are, however,. averse to any compromise whatever,. while the Romagnas will not listen to anything short of total separation and annexation to Piedmont. It is admitted that the question is extremely com plicated. The Emperor is desirous of having. something to announce about Rome in his speech on the Ist March,-and everything will be done in the meantime toward that end.
