Charities be equally submissive to the 'die they
have so long escaped! Let us hope so, if only for
the sake of the peace and quiet which Endowed
Charities should always cultivate, for the sake
of the pious founders and benefactors to
their species (but not to their families) who
will thus become posthumous benefactors of their
country ; for the sake of the good intentions in-
terred with their bones, and of the good dinners
that live after them.
In his glowing peroration on Thursday evening
the CHANCULOR of the EXCHIQUE3 expressed the
hope that a large reduction of the burdens of the
country at this moment would be accepted as a
friendly challenge to other nations to contribute
to the peace and harmony of the civilised work!.
Mr. GLADSTONZ points to the reduction of taxa-
tion under existing circumstances at home

and abroad as the financial expression of
• policy of peace, and in some sort
an act of disarmament ; and none will dispute the
strength and sincerity of the convictions thct dic-
tated his words. Cynical foreign critic*,
however, will probably look rather to the amount
of our naval and military estimates than to the
reduced Income Tax and tea duty, or the esti-
mated surplus of half a million, and they
will decline to interpret a financial policy
that releases burdens and liberates commerce as
equivalent to a reduction of armies or of fiesta.
May we take the liberty to suggest that Mr.
GLAnsroNs, in recommending to foreign Powers
the example of • reduction of expenditure,
was not excusing or accusing the past policy of
his country or of the Government to which he
belongs t The French Treaty was signed in a year
in which our military expenditure had reached its
highest point. Had we wasted only half the
money we should be quite as strong, and not
more unaggressive. But this is our concern. It is

not France that has set us an example of a military
budget of fifteen millions sterling ; nor yet is France
the model of a pacific Power.
The policy of this country is not to be tested by
its expenditure. The one is all caution, the other
all extravagance. It is to be tested by those prin-
ciples of liberty, and those interests of liberty, which
England represents in the world, and of which
Mr. GrAnsroxis is the most eloquent apostle.

the administration of this hospital. It seems that during
the bet fifty years the exposes and the lawns of the in-
stil:Mica have more than doabled, while the number of mu-
sician in the hospital has diminished by om-third. That is
to say, in other words, no less than two-thirds of the mooey of
the iastitatioe has been diverted from the purpose for which
it was tetras& In 1806 the in-pensiosers were 2,410,
and the foods 21,8571. ; in 1859 the in-pensioners were
1,676, and the funds 48,11671. Mors than LOCO seamen who
have • claim on the hospital are now dependent on paibli
