as to his general, and especially his foreign, policy.
Then Perßement will be in a sitnation fully and
Healy to pronounce as opinion on his Government,
and to give or to reran its cos/Mena.
There will of cause be per who can and
nothing but factions hostility in those noommenda,
dons of Lord lows's. We maims that we arc
of another mind. Lord JOHN'S persona position ia
no doubt ono of considerable delicacy, and it is
very easy for political malice to distort his move-
ments and misconstrue his objects. But this is
abundantly clear, that for Lord Jews Resent. to be
silent on an occasion like the present would be to
compromise his own position, and deprive the House
of the benefit of his great experience without in any
degree assisting the Government.

int while Lord lonx Ruserxes suggestion is at

once intelligible and constitutional, the course which
Mr. DISRAELI now appears inclined to built on is
hazy and impracticable. If we can comprehend what
it is he aims at, it is a Budget of Expenditure and In..
come for the next three years at once, in place of the
Budget for 18.57-8 which Sir Contdtwatr, L•wle
has opened. To have raised in a direct and open
manner the question of the Army and Navy Esti-
mates, and to have taken the opinion of the Howse
of Commons on their amount, and on the sufficiency
or insufficiency of the economy practised, would
have brought Mr. DISRAELI into collision with that
largo section of the Tory aristocracy which has
always advocated large military establishments, and
a protege expenditure in those branches of the pub-
lie service in which they are personally interested.
That is a course which the necessities of party would
not permit Mr. DISRAELI to take. To have :net the
Budget by a Resolution to adhere rigidly todhe
arrangement of 1833, and to manes at saes the
Income Tax to fivepence in the pound, would have
placed Mr. Disarms in the dilemma of giving in
his adherence to the Succession Duty, which,
though an essential part of that arrangement,
it is now evident the Tories seek to repeal as soon as
the Income Tax is got rid of in 1880. In that direc-
tion danger lies. To have proposed a reference of
the Armyand Navy Estimates to a select committee is
a course which, though by no means an unusual one,
an independent member regardless of office only can
take. Mr. Disaasu's position after the Budget
was, it must be confessed, • difficult one. Sir
Contutwatt Ltwis cut the ground on which he pre-
Timely stood from under his feet, and left hint sur-
rounded by a choice of difficulties. As usual, Mr.
DISRAELI has selected the most impracticable and
absurd of all the courses open to him ; and means to
move the following resolution :

Treasurs resolution proposes, if it mean any-
thing, that • Home of Commons which most be dis-
solved before 1860,—without estimates, without
assemity, in total disregard of what the next two
years may producer-shall not only regulate the ex-
penditure of the year 1867-8, but positively fix the

expenditure of the next two years. The very notion
is absurd. It is an attempt to adjust for three
• ' ' " '

years prospectively that which varies annually ;
and at no period is it users ressonablo to an-
ticipate that there annual oscillations will in-
volve a gradual annual diminution of the

oast of MI; military establishments, than in the
East three yeses of peace. Mr. Thseszu will in-
. . .

dulge in nosoch antiCipations. To do so would not
suit his purpose. Finding no deficit in the present,
he discovers cos " Wain in the future," and enters
into a Quixotic attempt to provide for what there
is really no serious rums to apprehend.
If the Opposition dsson the estimates too bigh—
ead we by no means say they are not—it is their eon-
.

stitutioneil duty to appals- and try to eednee them.
If they regard the general male of expenditure pro-
posed by the Government as extravagant, it is their
place to attempt to abets that extravagance. If they
think the financial statement of the CZANCELLON.

of the Exclexqum deludes, they are under a moral
obligation to expose its fallacies. If they're et opinion
that the Budget does not sußeiently meetthe general
necessities of the country, by all mains let them put
that question to the vote of the House of Commons.
My etas of those manes would be simple, plain, and
intelligible. Bet Mr. DISBAILI'S resolution evades
all that is simple at constitutional ; it seeks to involve
the Rouse of Commons in a novel and inexpedient
career of theme. Bo far from in any way menring
in the next two years a reduction of talks. its
tendency is to fix expenditure new at a rags which
Ministers will, were it adopted, regard is a antract
between Parliament and the Orsreremend. And it
limits the power of the Hoene of Comm own the.
bxpeaditare of 1858, 1859, and ilb -it
