THE BUDGET.-

7 VIE EDhrOk OF THE DAILY TIMEs.
Ste,—ln the tokirse of your remarks in to-day's paper,
von say, " the budget Is Certainly not framed to benefit
the countrygenerally," and in thisopinion most of your
readers will concur. The Times says everybody in the
country is to pay 10d. in the pound income -tat, in order'that the manufacturers may bring up their incomes from
£60,000 to £lOO,OOO a year. Most of the interests
affected have had their say ; and, may I ask, why the
income-tax payers do not speak out ? Is there nothing
to lie done in Liverpool ? Mr. Horsfall will do his duty,
by Voting_ against the budget; but will Mr. Ewart do
The =tie ? I rather fear the latter will vote for any-
thing. sd that his friends are kept in otpice
; just as the
manufacturers would Vote everybody to pay a 2s. income-
tax for the benefit of the manufacturers' returns.
What has become of the talked-of town meeting ?
Might not this opportunity be taken to give Mr. Ewart
a hint? It. J. 0

THE DIVISION ON MR. DISRA.Eus
AMENDMENT.

to TOE PDITOR OP Tor. DAILY Mits.
Sio,—TVhile the people of Liverpool are justly proud
of their worthy borough member, and the members for
the county, for their votes on the Conservative interest
in the Home of Commons, I :it aware that there are
many, very many, Irishmen like myself, resident in
Liverpool, to whom it must be truly gratifying to know
that, on the late division, so many. of the Ulster members
were at theinposts and on the right side. Belfast has
every reason to be proud of her two representatives both
Conservatives, viz.,
,Sir H. M'C. Cairns, the late Solici-
tor-General for England, and Richard Davison, Esq.,
who were both in their places and voted with Mr.
Disraeli. I am truly gratified at the conduct of my
honourable and noble fellow-townsmen, who' ever ,since
they.onstOthe Tennents and cilighl4olicals from the
Alpusentithen of Belfast, hav9,Conaselves worthy
the connence and sopport<6f that, great constituency.
The speech of Sir fiukb, as reported in the London
Times, is a masterly piece of sound constitutional rea-
soning, and does credit to the head and heart of this
erudite, ptofinindoind finished lawyer. I cannot but
think that, at no, distant day, he is destined to take a
position in the great councils of the State, for which his
learning and eloquence eminently qualify him. Mr.
Davison, the honourable colleague of B.ir Hugh, is also
possessed of great mental attainments, and e9nally and
deservedly popular with the Conservatives of .Belfast.
Then, again, among the Ulster members in the divi-
sion, we have the Mm. Colonel Maxwell, brother to
Lord Farnham, and the Hon. Captain Anneslev, brother
to the Earl of Annesley, Hon. Colonel Cole, hi-other to
the Earl of Enniskillen, and Captain M. Arehdall,
members for Fermanagh; Lord' Edwin Hill, brother to
the Marquis of Downshire, and Lord Claude Hamilton,
brother to the Marquis of Abcrcorn, supported Mr.
Disraeli, its did also the following members :—Sir
Edmond Hayes and Colonel Connelly (Donegal),
Sir F. Heygate and Mr. Dawson (Londonderry), Hon.
H. Corry, uncle to the Earl of Belmore ('Tyrone) Sir
Sir
W . Verner, Bart., and Mr. Close (Armagh), K
Mr.
(Downpatrick), Sir George Foster and Mr. Leslie
(Monaghan), Messrs. Macartucy and Packenham (An-
trim), John Boyd, Esq., (Coleraine), with the members
for Carrickfergus and Dungannon.
I think, sir, it is must gratifying to note that the
Earl of Derby may rely on the support of such a host of
good men and true, from the North of Ireland. .The
only exception to every county and borough in Ulster
being represented by Conservatives, is the " Maiden
City" of Londonderry. • For many -years Sir R. A.
Ferguson has represented this ancient eity,, unmolested,
and undisturbed; a fact which appears to me to be an
anomaly. But I trust the day is not far distant when
the City of the Foyle will shake off this incubus, and
proclaim her deliverance from Radicalisin.--L4 am, sir,
your obedient servant,. AN ULSTER CONSERVATIVE.
