resist the annexation. And -Lord Palmerston
pretended that it required to be clearly ekplaine_ d
whether those idle Wished to bring this question
under the notice of the House did,so with a view
to censure the conduct of the Government" of
France, or with a view to censure the conduct of
the Government of England.. • Both Ministgrs
thus throw out alarms of war, in order to silence
discussiOn on their policy in the matter,of Louis
Napoleon's meditated act of depredation and
aggrandisement, and their organs of the press
are apparently " bettering the instruction ", thus
imparted. The Times does not scruple, indeed,
to charge upon the Opposition, that their object
is " to,provoke a war with a powerful neighbour,
and that the Government shall be saddled with
the responsibility of it." The unscrupulouslninis-
terial partisan reiterates the monstrous charge,—
repeating, "it is scarcely possible to shut ones
eyes to the fact,, that there is •:a party in the
House prepared to provoke a war on this ques-
tion." The alarth thus sounded is, of course,
designed to impose silence. upon the question. it
is an artful, and may probably prove a successful
expedient, -to save Ministers from too close ,an
inquiry into the degree and extent of their fraterj.
nisation with Louis Napoleon. li:reignite agree
with the remark—m to the idea of war at pre:.
sent—that "all the constituencies of the kingdom
would with one voice declare that they would be
led into no isuch. an: act of- Quixotism." ;lout if
such an act should be meditated, it will not be by.
the' ConservatiVes,unless, indeed, the present
ministerial policy so perils our national honour,
or endangers .our 'national security,. that war
is the only alternative of. degradation and dis-
comfiture.

The Standard may be regarded as being at
the head of the cheap daily press of the country.
There is not one public journal of either
party more ably conducted in every depart-
ment, and we believe there is not• one that
has done so much to spread, far and wide,
the blessings, whatever they may be, of a
cheap daily newspaper press. Of course, in
,pecuniary point of view; our contemporary
must be vastly benefitted by the repeal of the
paper duties•; and yet does he enter his most
earnest remonstrance against this untimely act.
"We should be selfish indeed," it is nobly
remarked, ;"'and unmindful of the gratitude dpel
to our generous Supporters, if for one moment the
set up the private interests of this establishment
against the public good. Not in this way have
we succeeded heretofore, or do we intend to suc-
ceed among our countrymen for the future. The
repeal of the paper tax may be a large pecuniary
relief to us, but while, on the other side, we see
the augmented income tax, and the imposts on
tea, coffee, sugar, malt, and other necessaries of
life, continued to the poor man, we should be
ashamed to accept the remission of our own
private burden without protest." This, we say,
is the declaration of a noble mind. Certainly,
those numerous classes, with but limited 'means,
who 'will have to 'suffer so severely' froni an c
augmented income-tax, •and. those still .greater
numbers of the, working' classes, and' the lioor,
who 'must: continue to be bnrthened with the
" imposts on tea, coffee, sugar, malt, and other
necessaries of life," have, on every principle of
humanity and justice, a prior ,claim to relief, tp
any of those who will be more immediately bent.-
fitted by the repeal of-the Paper-tax.

Some Income-tax .statistics which we give else-
where, taken from a paper presented to the
House of Commons, show that notwithstanding-
all that has been heard of late of the great:benefit
conferred on agriculture by Free-trade, that`
interest has by no means advanced in the same
proportion as those of trades. and.p'r'ofessions.
During the last seventeen: years there appears to
have been -an-increase -of profits upon the-oocu-
pation4l lands of about 25 per cent., 'whil4 tho 4
of trades and professions have increased,
the same period, more than 36 per cent. The
increase of profits, both' upon agrimilture and
trades and professions, has been greater in Scot-
land than in England during the same 'period.
As the Address to Her Majesty on the Treaty
of Commerce with France, which has been voted
by the House of Commons, is to be a joint address
of the two Houses, it has, of course, to be sub-
mitted to the consideration of the House of Lords;
and as would be seen by our yesterday's report of
the proceedings of Parliament, to-morrow (Thurs-
day) evening has been fixed for the, purpose, when
no doubt a highly interesting debate will arise.

IT was the remark of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the
House of Commons, on Monday night, that " if
there was a party in the House who thought that
if the consent of Sardinia and of the people of
Savoy was obtained to the annexation, and it was
not opposed by the Great Powers of Europe, this
country was bound to go to war to resist it, that
party ought to bring forward a resolution to that
effect." Now, this, if it had any honest meaning,
was a very mischievous renark. We .do not
believe that there is any party in the House...9f

Commons that thinks this country is bound ,to g?,,
to war to resist the annexation of Savoy to
France. Certainly, the Conservative party can
have lao such idea; and the very circumstance of
the Foreign Minister having had recourse to such
a pretext, only shows there is something behind
—something which Ministers wish to mystify or
conceal. As Mr. DISRAELI replied to the taunt
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the noble lord was evi-
dently proceeding on the assumption that the
only conduct to be called in question was that of
the Emperor of the French; which is very far
from being the case. " There was another_ques
tion—the conduct of Her Majesty's Govern-
ment ; and the House was desirous to discuss,
how far the policy of the Emperor had been
caused and favoured by the Rritish Government.
The noble lord had made no answer to the charge
which he had made the other night, that the
course pursued by Her Majesty's Government
had rendered the policy of the Emperor of the
French in Italy inevitable." Now, these things
considered, the party whose conduct has been the
most likely to involve us in war, is thtit 19f
Ministers themselves. Perhaps the cinastion Was
npre fairly pqt l,y Lord PALMERSTON than by

his noble colleague, when he said, "that those

who wished to renew these discussions with
respect to Savoy, did so with the object either
of obtaining an expression of censure against
the French Government, or of asking the lio-use
to agree to a vote of censure on Her Majesty?'"
Ministers." Not that either of these really is the::
object in view,—although, undoubtedly,: if .0e
policy of the French Emperor with TNlffi
Savoy has in any degree been ealsed and f4v°4re4 -
avoided.
by Ifer Majesty's 'Ministers, they must be wen
deserving of the censure of Parliament Or it.
And surely such censure could beaced,
without any risk whatever of a war with France.
Nay, for our part, we verily believe,
the effect of a vote of censure must of necessity
be to remove the present Ministers frolnrei

remembered, most of the leading members of the
present Ministry. They upset the Derby Admi-
nistration in 1853, after much the same factious
fashion as they upset the same Noble Lord's
Administration in 1859. And one of the results
we say, of that change in 1853, was the Russian
Nor shall we be much surprised, if another
war turns out to be a consequence of Lord DER-13Y's
displacement from office in 1859.
Nothing, we humbly conceive, is so likely to
involve this country, sooner or later, in war,
as that " drawing closer the ties of friendship'

with Louis NAPOLEON, which appears to be so
favourite an idea with the present Ministers.

of our ablest weekly journalists, a when the
