THE BUDGET.

On the motion of the Chancellor, of the Exchequer, the
:ouse resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means.

The Clinsci,Lon of the EXCHEQUER then rose to make
his financial statement. He should, in the first place, follow
the usual course of stating; in the first instance, the actual
financial position of the country, and comparing thp estimates
made by 31r. Disraeli last year with their receipts, The
Chancellor of the Exchequer then estimated the customs at

£22,400,000, they produced £24,117,000 ; the excise was
estimated at £18,600,000, it produced £17,900,000 ; .the
estimate for stamps was £7,850,000, it produced £8 500 000

the estimate for assessed taxes was xis,zoo,uuu, it produced
£3,162,000 ; the production of the income-tax sheaved an
increase over the estimate of half-a-million, being .£6,6 3,000
against the estimate of £6,100,000 the PoSt-otlice estimates,
estimated at £3,200,000, produced very near that amount.
After quoting the small items of the crown and the miscel-
laneous papers, he stated that the total result of the year
might be considered as satisfactory, showing a produce of
05,477,000, against an e,stimate of M 3,920,000. As

FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES FROM THE Covn-
r.---A respectable' Bradford shipping house was the.
ier 'day made aware that they were paying to their cus.
mers forged Bank of England notes. The corporation
easurer, Mr. g.amuel Laycoek; of the Bradford Bank-
ig Company, detected two such notes, one of £lO and the
ther £6, in a stun of money Which bad been paid to him ;
Lad the firm in question was at' once communicated with.
The notes had every appearance upon the face of them of
being genuine, but were embossed in imitation of the water
nark. The firm from whom the notes had been received
hen found that among a large roll of good notes they had
aany counterfeit ones, similar to those returned as worth-
:,ss. They -consequently took immediate steps to ensure the
xamine.tion of all notes recently: paid by them to customers.
he notes, it was supposed, had been received from the c'om-
ercial representative of the firm at Zurich, in Switzerland,
d had, doubtless, been passed to him in exchange for gold.

NORTHERN DA

Government of Lord Melbourne borrowed £20,000,000 for
negro emancipation, the other was when £8,000,000 or
£97000,000 were borrowed to relieve the famine in Ireland.
The present case differed both in principle and in
amount. (Hear, hear.) There never was a time
what the nation was more able or more willinglp comply
with fresh demands. Another reason for
,alAtai ing from
borrowing was that the Secretary_ for India would, before
long, appear in the market witl} a lemand for a thew loan on
behalf of that Country. In the rt,i9tlp of borrowing by Ex-

Objections. Even again it tne, money was to Ix
taxes, what mode could they
.adopt. He would not 1144
interfere with malt. The'revenue ti..om spirits had greatly
increas'ed' of late, and' he' thought it dangerous to meddle
with it, especially as that increase might now be considered
to form part o the permanent revenue of the country.
.Again, he 'objected to any farther increase in the duties On
tea and 'Sugar, not only on account of the consumer, but on
general. grounds. In time of war preference was given
to direct over indirect taxation, and yet expensei which
might be considered the result of the war, had since the
close of the war been paid in a much larger proportimE
After this consideration he came to the point which might

entered upon the hi4tOry of the tax, showing that it was
introduced for the purpose of permitting. meat financial re-
forth to be earned out, and 'with that view it had been re-
peatedly successful, it had gained its favour in a time of
peace, and was associated with changes which had turned
out. most salutary and beneficial. Other purPoses of the
legitimate when defence wag to be pro-

tax were equally

vided for the honour and safety Of the country. 6inee the
establishment of the tax, the revenue had increased, but the
expenditure had increased still faster ; but this, inclUdino•

the £2,000,000 which' the country would gain on the long
annuities next year, there would .haVe been a surplus 'of
£7,000,00Q, which would have extinguished the income Tax,
andtheother taxeslaid on in consequence of the war. BefOre,
however, he came to the Income Tax, he must advert to' a
small means of increase in the revenue arising from the
malt credit. Hitherto the inaltster obtained a delay in the
payment of hiS citifies, Which he proposed to reduce to six
weeks, charging hiM four per cent. in case, he continued his
credit. This„. he calculated, before next April, to bring
£780,000 into the Exchequer. As regarded, the Income
Tax, he proposed to add 4d. 'in the pound to the Present
tax, in the ''case of incomes above £l5O, and 12d. for
incomes lietWeen .£lOO and £l5O. It was right
hat a distinction should be made between the two ; it
.would be further necessary that the whole of the in-

crease should fall within- the year. The half-years

therefore, altogether be sixpence halfpenny for_ neomes, and
