present Parliament would have died
before he next addressed them. The present Parlia-
ment would be remembered in history for its finan-
cial character and its financial results. If there
had been any eubjeet that occupied the attention
of men of all parties since 1869, it had been the
endeavour to improve the financial •condition of
England, to place taxes on a more satisfactory
footing, and the expenditure under a more efficient
control. if that had been the aspiration of the pre-
sent Parliament, it might bo proper to consider how
far it had succeeded in what our descendants would
say its work and mission had consisted. This was
not the calmest period to improve the financial cone
dition of the country. lie did not suppose that,
during tho last five years, there had been less stir-
ring events, especially sffating the financial condi-
tion of the country, than in almost every other five
years of our history. We had had a China war, the
naval expenditure of which (ho had not the esti-
mates for the army) bad cost three and a halt
millions of money, which was in addition to the
ordinary expenditure of the country. We had
had the American rebellion causing unparal-
leled distress to one part of the country, which.
had been borne with the greatest fortitude, and
met by the most masterly policy on the part
of those who had guided the unfortunate people
who had suffered. That rebellion had cost indi-
rectly enormous sums, both to the country generally
and to financial administrations At the beginning
of Parliament the wrecks of the Indian mutiny
were on the beach, so to speak, visible to all. We
had had two great European conferences, first, for
the reconstruction of Italy and settling the affairs
of the South of Europe; and, second, in respect to
the disintegration of Denmark, in which two great
Powers had, with magnanimity unparalleled, over-
come a very small weak one. And, more extensive
than any of these causes, in a financial point of
view, we had had during the present Parliament to
carry out the entire adaptation of our offensive and
defensive weapons to a new state of things. Our
fleet in 1859 had just been reconstructed, and in
1860 its reconstruction was begun again. What
our men-of-war were in 1859 to those of 1853,
before the Crimean war, such were the ships of
1864 to the ships of 1859. We therefore had a
most expensive process of reconstruction carried on
during the last five years. With respect to the
army there had been the introdaction of new guns
and new materials of war, and the time of the pre.
sent Parliament had been distinguished by causes of
expenses which had been unparalleled except in
time of war. There had also been such an equality
of parties in the house that great strokes of finan-
cial policy could not be easily ventured on. Under
these circumstances they would be surprised at the
results, Since 1859 no taxes of consequence had
been increased, but, on the other hand, there had
been a great reduction. The income tax had been
been lowered, from 9d to 6d. The hop and paper
duties had been removed, and the insurance duties
had been geoatly reduced. (Applause.) With re•
gard to custom's, the tea duty had been so far re-
duced as to relieve the publio to the extent of
Z 1,650,000 per annum, the sugar duty to the evient
of £1,750,000, and tho wine duty to the extent of
£1,030,000 per annum. (Hear, hear.) Other
duties on sundry articles' of food had also
relieved taxation to the extent of £50,000 per
annum, and . there had also been reductions
in articles (not articles of food) relieving the
public taxation, to the amount of £1,014,000 per
annum. The general result during the five years
had been that taxation had increased to the extent
of £3,100,000 per annum, and daring the same
period taxes to the amount of £14,450,000 per annum
had been repealed, the net result being an excess of
remission of taxation of £11,350,000 per annum.
(Applause.) Surely that would entitle Parliament
to expect the gratitude of the country. Bat they
might ask whether much more might not have been
done ? Was there not still need for great economy ?
Of course it would be impossible for him to say what
economies were at present in contemplation, and it
would be unreasonable for his hearers to expect
cism on the acts of his colleagues, or of others in the
House. He would, however, show how, in certain
respects, the expenditure had been affected during
the past five years, and the causes of those changes,
and leave to his bearers to judge how those causes
might be removed. He would first take the depart-
ment with which he was connected, and show what
had been the navy expenditure during the last five
or six years, from what causes it had increased, and
how it stood at the present time. Since 1857 the
navy had been fully reconstructed. In 1857-9 the
average naval expenditure was £8,350,000, in ad.
dition to certain charges which still remained on
account of the Russian war. In 1859 it rose to
£11,650,000; in the following year it was
£11,570,000, besides £1,550,000 on account of the
China war. In 1861.2 it was £12,420,000 besides,
something more than another million on account of
the Chins war. In 1862,3 it was £11,420,000; and
in 1863-4 it was £10.540,000. Between 1858, an
average year, when £8,350,000 was the amount of

expenditure, it rose, including the China war credit,
to £13,540,000 in 1861-2. This increase had been
caused by the necessity to reconstruct the navy, in
the doing of which they had to make experiments
which had before been untried. But since
18612 they had been able to reduce the navy ex-
' penditure about two millions. Last year it was only
10,400,000, or including the purchase of Mr Laird's
rams, £10,710,000. Supposing the reduction had
approached two. millions a year, they might ask
whether the revenue bore its fair proportion to the
general position of the country. In answer to that
question they might first compare the taxation with
trade. The entire expenditure in 1858.9 was
£65,300,000, and in 1863.4 about 69 millions, or a
difference of about d per cent per annum. If they
omitted that portion which was due on account of
the national debt, the increase had been about 21
per cent per annum. In the first period, 1858.9,
the amount of income was 258 million ; and in 1863
the gross import and export was 346 million ; or
while the taxation had increased 1 per cent—or
irrespective of the national debt, 21 per cent—
foreign trade had increased about 8 per cent
per annum. Another fair criterion of prosperity
was the savings banks. In 1838.9 the labouring
classes were able to lay by 371 millions, and in 1863
-t-hey-imuld afford—to—invest 44 millions. In both
these respectp wealth had increased quite as much
as the proportion which had been deducted from it
to meet the public expenditure. (Hear.) He might
also give another illustration. He had ascertained
that in 1852 the quantity of solid food consumed on
an average by the population oft- sa ha,pcuntryss
1201 b per annum ; in 1868 it was'and.al the
present time it had increased to 2001 b. What were
the causes of all this increase in our prosperity _
Peace was no doubt the first, and the next were
two principles of commercial liberty—one commonly
called free trade, and the other the consolidation of
capital under the system of limited liability. As an
illustration of the increase of trade under free trade
principles, he might state that the import and ex.
port trade under the French treaty had increased
more than £12,000,000 per annum, totally irrespeo.
tive of the foreign produce of France passing there through
England from other foreign countries. We had gained by
the French treaty almost the whole amount of our loss, in
our trade with the United States. Of course we had not
gained the loss on the additional price we had had to pay
for cotton; but with respect to other trades we had gained
by the French treaty. In 1850 we were importing from
America 560 million pounds weight of cotton—in 1852 it
was 780 millions—in 1858-9 it rose to 670 millions—in 1860,
the year before rebellion, it rose to 1,140 millions. That
amount fell in the two successive years, first, to 960 mil-
lions, and next, in 1862, our imports of cotton were not
more than 310 million pounds, of which but a small propor-
tion would be American. In 1863 the imports rose t0:430
millions, and for the first nine months of this year to 540
millions, or within 20 millions of the net imports in 1850.
In spite of the great increase there was still much distress
in the cotton districts, which was caused to a great extent
by the reduced profits of the millowners
.rather than trona
the inability of the men to find work—(A. Voice—Say a
word on reform) He had previously stated his views upon
that and other public questions, and he had only to repeat
what he had said last year, that he saw no reason to
change any opinion he had given on that question. (Hear,
hear.) All political reforms must come from the people
themselves—(cheers)—and he did not think it was for them
or for Parliament to come down to the people and tell them
what they wished with respect to the reform of the represen-
tation of the country. (Applause.) In conclusion, ho would
say a few words with reference to the duties with which he
had lately been entrusted by her Majesty. He would not
say whether they were light or heavy, but at any rate they
were those which no one would undertake who wished to lie
on what is called" a bed of roses." He did not suppose that
any department was so thoroughly public as the business of
the Admiralty, and sometimes before they had settled to
do a thing everybody seemed to know what had been do-
decided upon. (Laughter.) He did not regret that public
men were so sharply—ail-died, or that the public wore well
posted up as to their acts. (Hear, hear.) Since he came
to Pontefract he had been asked One or two questions which
ho could not help answering. The first was, " What about
the Victoria ?" The second, " What about the Royal
Sovereign ?" The Victoria was a large wooden ship of the
line, which had been sent to the Mediterranean as the flag-
ship of the Commander-in-chb f. Why had they sent her
instead of sending an arm,ur- plated vessel P It had been
cut•toreary to use those large three-deckers as I'l4g-ships, and
at the present moment the commander of the Channel fleet
hoisted his flag in one, and there had never been a word of
objection raised to his doing so. It was not that the com-
mander of the Mediterranean fleet might have a stately
residence, but it was because the admiral had entrusted to
him the whole municipal business of the floats scattered
over the Mediterranean. It was necessary that he should
have a large staff under his eye to carry on its operations.
Ho was not kept at any particular place, but had to go to
Malta, Gibraltar, and different parts of the Mediterranean,
and the staff must accompany him. That was an arrange-
ment which could not be changed, except when it became
necessary to put the admiral in a position which would
enable him to be first in going into battle. At present how-
ever there was, in the opinion of the Admiralty, no imme-
diate prospect of a war, and therefore no evieent necessity
for changing the system which allowed of the admiral car-
rying on the administration of the Mediterranean fleet
under his own superintendence. As to the Royal Sove-
reign, she was a turret ship, built on Captain Cole's prin-
ciple, and was not the only ship in the fleet built on that
model, there being the two rams recently purchased from
Mr Laird. But it was not the case that the Royal Sove-
reign was going to be shelved. She was not adapted
for ordinary cruising purposes. If very necessary she
might go to the Mediterranean, but her special fitness
was for harbour defence, and for practice in gunnery for
that purpose they had decided to attach the Royal Sove-
reign as a tender to the gunnery ship at Portsmouth, the
Excellent. She was now being altered in certain respects
for that purpose, and trials of gunnery under the peculiar
conditions of her turret would be carried on, which was a
good reason for not sending her out as an ordinary cruising
ship. It was really the wish of the Admiralty to keep the
navy of England efficient; not to let it be behind the disco-
voice of the age, but at the same time to carry on improve-
ments with judicious economy. (Hear, hear.) Ho hoped
that such would be the result of what was going on, and if
he found that what he had done was approved, and that his
constituents continued to him their confidence, it would tell
on what future exertions he might make in the public ser-
vice, and at any rate he should still hope to have his reward
at their hands. (Loud applause.)
A vote of confidence in Mr Childers terminated the pro-
ceedings. •

rest was exhibited by the officers of the Drrgon in
the application of the principle on board their ship,
ani this interest was owing in part,"perhaps, to the
fact that the Dragon is one of the very few ships
that managed to get so far down channel from the
Downs as Spithead during the height of the late
westerly gales, owing to her superior sailing qua.
lities. The trial, therefore, that has so far been
given to the new principle has been most severe.
Two hands were found sufficient to brace round the
foreyard when the ship was "in stays" in the
heaviest part of the gale, when eight or nine men
would be required if the yards had been fitted on
the ordinary principle, and the saving in rope
amounts to 100 fathoms of 31 in. of white mauilla.
It was stated that during the voyage down from the
Thames the passengers on board the chip worked
the foreyard in tucking ship for their own amuse.
mut. Admiral Sir M. Seymour and Admirals Sir
W. Mortin and Gambier at the close of their visit
to the Dragon expressed their gratification at the
easy manner in which the yards of the ship had
been worked, to exhibit to them the application of
the invention, and also on the thoroughly efficient
character of invention. The Dragon is a new iron
ship of 700 tons register, bound from London for
Calcutta. She belongs to Liston, Young and Co., of
London, and is commanded by Capt. Charles Gill.

to enable them to repeat a certain portion of the
shell firing previously carried out with the Whit`

naval guns. This latter arrangement is rendered
necessary, owing to the inexplicable mistake with
fuses for the Whitworth shells referred in Ne Sure

The plate-bending machinery for bending the
largest description of armour-plates for the Belle--
rophon, ironclad frigate, having been brought into
working order in the factory at Chatham Dockyard,
a number of the largest slabs of iron have been sue-
cesefully bent to the form of that portion of the
frigate's sides they are intended to encase, and re-
moved to the machinery shed to undergo the drill•
ing, slotting, and planing process. The plate%
already operated upon are of the largest propoi.
tions hitherto sent into Chatham Dockyard, each
being 6in in thickness, by 16ft in length and 4ft
3in in breadth. They were manufactured of rolled
iron by the Mi Iron Company. The opera-
tion of bending was performed by means of one of
Westwood and Baillie's most powerful hydraulic
presses, the plates having been previously heated
to a " cherry" red. The Bellerophon will be suffi-
ciently advanced to receive her broadside plates in
about a fortnight.

The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 1,466 tons, 400
horse power, which has been some months in hand
fitting for the first division of the Chatham Steam
Reserve, in readiness for commission, has completed
the repairs rendered necessary bf the recent altera-
tion in her screw, and will be undocked at Chatham
to-day. This fine corvette is, with the txception of
the shipment of sea stores, complete in every depart-
ment, and in all respects ready for the pennant.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com.
mender Arthur T. Thrupp, from Portsmouth with
men paid off from the Matlborough, arrived at Ply"
mouth yesterday morning, and will probably leave
that port to-day with men paid off from the Jason
for conveyance to Portsmouth. _ _ _

The Royal Marine Light Infantry paid-off from
the Marlborough, 121, arrived at headquarters,
Chatham, late on Friday night, in charge of First
Lieutenants E. M. Messiter and J. A. Swaney, hav-
ing been from an early hour in the morning on their
way from Portsmouth to Chatham. The delay is
said to have arisen from the faulty arrangements
made for their transit by the railway company.
This, however, would appear only a small matter in
comparison with the condition in which a majority
of the non-commissioned officers and men reached
headquarters. The whole of them were without
their arms, knapsacks, &0., which were left behind
at one of the stations, while several were in a dies
graceful state of intoxication!. Indeed, the whole of
the men, both non-commissioned officers and prig,
vates, appeared to have been drinking. Immedi-
at3ly on the detachment marching into barracks,
and the condition of the men being reported to Col.
Lemon, C. 8., that officer placed several of theta
under arrest, and an order was yesterday given
for their trial by court martial. An investigation
was at the same time ordered into the whole
of the circumstances connected with the transit
of the detachment from Portsmouth to head.
quarters. On the part of the men it should be
stated that the delays on the line were attributed,
solely to the railway company, two hours having
been consumed in a detention at one station, and
it was while waiting . they were supplied with
rum by some of the railway servants. Had they not
left their arms, &c., behind they would have hem
kept at the station the whole night.
