peered at the her in official costume, and reed her Yr
jesty's answer to the address from the hours in reference to

entirely participate in the anti:nests which yes have a-
vowed to me in the 'dance which I have received from
you on the esesesination of the Preeidest of the United
Staten, and I have given directions that my minister at
Washington shall make known to the government of tha►
country the feelings which you entertain, in common with
myself end my whole people, in regard to this &plowable
event."

(*MUMS OF WAYS AND MEANS

Oa the motion of the Catmatioa of the Examinee,
The house then went into a committee of ways sad
means.
Mr. DODSON having read the fallowing resolution :
"That towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty
io lieu of the duties of customs sow charged on tee, the
(*nowise duties of customs shall, on and altar the 6th of
May, 186.5, until tbe Ist Augast, 1866, he sharged thereon
on importation into Great Britais aud Leland, vu., tea 6d.
the pared."
Mr. MOFFATT moved, as • measure of justice to the
retail dealers who had Lid in large stoOs of tea upon the
summer given by the government in 1863, to amend the
resolution by omitting the 6th of May and inserting the Ist
of June Waked.
The amendment was rupported by Mr. CAVE ; and the
CnaneXtiOtt of the Exceaqtrita assented to the &Bertha,
in a modified form ; namely, by striking out all dates from
the resolution, and inserting the special ground on which
the home bad granted delay in those terms- --•• That is con.
adoration of expeotatiecs speciallfounded upon the
declarations of government is 1863, In respect ou the tea
du'y, such reduction should be postponed until the lot day
of June."
Mr. CRAW FORD expressed his thanks to the right boa
gentleman for having given way upon this point, Is ono
case which bad come miler his notice certain dealers, not
far from St. Paul's Churchyard, had been &speeding large
sums of mosey in erecting warehouses, and laying in large
stocks of tea, and if the duty was suddenly reduced the lose
to them would have been no petty floe.
Mr. NEWDEGATE, having on many voodoos deprecated
what he thought the enforcement of too rigid rules in these
cases, also expressed his Shooks to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, and observed that, in this particular can, whal-
e's, sum the retail dealers would hays been deprived of
would have gone practically to the holders of tea is hood.
In the case of the commercial treaty with France, the too
sodden adios of the goverment inflicted great
upon the part of the country with which he was coo=
Mr. HENLEY observed that the question of time was
settled, though the grounds of the settlement .were some-
what peculiar. He Quite agreed with the pineal principle
laid down by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to the
inooeveoienos of postponing these things, but special
pounds had been shown is this case which the house could
110 i well do otherwise than give way to.
Mr. BRISCOE could not help taking that opportunity of
expressing his cordial thanks to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer for the opmession he had made an behalf of the
people. He felt it would be mast gratefully received by
the tee dealers throughout the country.
Sir F. KELLY mid if they were to understand
literally as well as substantially the declaration of the
right boa, gentleman that the repeal of the malt tax
would be the death warrant of Wired taxation, and if
'they were also to understand that the views of her
Majesty's government were against a total cessation of in-
direct taxation—a view from which be could not say he
disagreed—then they must regard that declaration as an
express announcement to the whole community that the
malt tax must not only continue, but continue at its pre-
seat amount, as long as the government should remain in
power. (Hear, beer.)
Colonel NORTH observed that he did not share in the
astonishment which some members had expressed
i that the
ecultural body should have been completely pored is
present budget. The reception which the Chancellor
of the Exchequer gave to the deputation of spicultorista
that waited on him a abort time ego showed him that they
had no chance of redress. As a general election iwas ap•
preaching, the right boo. gentleman would find that the
egriculturista would appeal from the free trade ministry
now in power to the honest feelings of the constituencies of
the country, and in all probability they would appeal with
swam They would certainly agitate until their grimmer
were redremed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended
the statements he had previously made, and the ironed
upon which he bad determined to give the preform", to
tea over malt in proposing a &Muslim of taxation., He
declined to treat the question as one that affected any
special interest, and reminded the members for sericulture'
' districts that their constituents participated in common
with the rest of the community in every remission of
taxation he bad motored ; and they would do so in the
present instance by the removal of twopeace on the theme
tax, the reduction of sixpence a pound on ten, and the
abolition of half the duty on fire insurance.
The discussion was continued for some time longer by
Mr. Seotieck, Sir J. Shelley. Colonel Borttelos, Mr. Dutton,
sad Mr. Lawson. Ultimately Mr. Moffatt withdrew his
amendment, sod the resolution of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, altered in the maser proposed, was agreed to.
The resolution Menthe the income and property tax from
41d. to 4d. was also agreed to. On the resolution to redone
the fin-insurance duty by Is. 6d. per cent ,
Sir J. FERGUSSON proposedto substitute the 25tb of
May far the 96th of June, as the date oe which the alters-
thin of duty should COMM•111:41, with the view of meeting
the petticoat case of Scotland, where the insurance year
ended at the former day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to
the proposal as unprecedented, sad calculated to mate in-
emmisisere la the collection of the revenue.
Mr. HUSBAND emervilly eattlemsed the duty ea fire
theorems as bad in priocigales
Mr. F. S. POWELL thought the reduction might have
been earthed further, and hoped the impost would be
@weedily obliterated from our fiscal system altogether.
Sir F. CROSSLEY urged that it would have ham ham
to reduce the amount to one shilling at ease, in width
event it might as be expiated that the bulk of the
property of the kingdom would come in and pay the duty.
Mr. AYRTON &mussed the iodise as a whole, sad con-
ended that the remissions of duty in favour of the esenum•
lag eisessesheald be more extessive, a remelt that teseendly
allaissi by main the imamate' t.

ememdtheith was negatived &ad the resolution 'greed to.
