LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15.

IT is by no mean' easy to appreciate or to fix the
financial and economical results of a wagon. There
is no department of politics is which agitation or
manifestation of popular desires is more tedious, first
of all in getting up, and then in producing their
effects. Thus the CIIANCELLOR of the EXCDEQUIR
- .

meditates his budget towards the close of the year,
more with regard to the spirit which animated par-
liament and the public during the previous session,
than with reference to the wants or feelings of the
period in which it is bron&t forward.
It is therefore during theltst and the ensuing months
that steps should have been and should be taken, ergs-
mints pat forward, and spirit displayed, with a view to
influence the government in framing its fiscal policy
for next session. And we fear that, notwithstanding
such symptoms as the Lambeth election, the public
bu allowed its efforts after fluandal reform to relax.
Were not this toe evidently the cue, ministen would
not have ventured so large a grant to the Duke
of CAVBILIDOE, nor followed it np by the demand
for the Prince of Weiss at the close of thesame see-

lion, which at Its commencement was marked by the
adjournment, not rejection, of Mr. TazukirNy's mo-
tion for inquiry into the revenues of the Duchies of
Cornwall and Lancaster. This a proper of a
Prince of Wax.; produces 38 a year, two-thirds
of which are lost in salaries and expenses. How the
one question could be mooted without the other, is a
reproach both to ministers and financial reformers.
At the opening of the session ministers seemed
still to act and speak under the influent* of that pre..
sure which the Financial Associations throughout the
wintry, and the efforts of Mr. COBDEN, had brought
to bear. In the very first week of parliament'. sitting,
a Howes Guards order appeared reducing several bat-
talion, of regiments from 1,200 to 1,000 men ; and
the official organ of government was bidden to announce
that a diminution of the Ordnance estimates would
be effected by a reduction in the purchase of stares.
The aspect and the efforts of parliament were, how-
ever, not such as to second and enforce such good
intentions: for in the estimates that were sanonnoed

_
some six gleam—
there was an increase, not a
diminutisisin the Ordnance expenses; whilst the
entire ting estimate for 1860-61 wee only
144,0001. than that of the previous year. Thus
were hoed to evaporate all the due promisee of the
Been, that, the year of revolutions being over, the
army might be rednoed by at least 8,000 nese, and
the expimditure of stores lessened in proportice.
Them were the promises of the let of February;
very different was the realisation of the middle of
March, when both the Army and Navy Estimates
were dimmed and voted in one night, the latter in a
thin house and at a late hour. In vain did Mr. HUME
urge that the recommendations of the parliamentary
committee respecting the number of admirals and
other
.equally important points, were totally ignored.
In vain did Sir WILLIAM Mousworrs Mist on the
facility of reducing military expenditure in the col°.
nice. The Roues of Commons was possessed with tho
expediency of keeping the existing amount of force
unimpaired in foci tithe then excited jealousies of
several of the great powers of Europe. And
whilst the fear of revolution was the excuse
for keeping up military estimates in 1849, the
fear of those dsepa. who put down revolutions,
proved an exam equally good for 1860. If the 'pub-
lic do not look sharp, there will be a new bugbear
for 1861.
It is impossible, indeed, not to come to the swim
idea, on reviewing the progress of economical opinion,
that pailiament and the government were far less
pressed towards the close of the session with the
necessity of reducing military establishments Ikea
they wire at its tunmenaement. In this Nepal
there is evident beekwardation, as good folks mum
times express themselves cm the =chug& TM
