IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

and learned gentlemm (Mr. Walpole) had taken a straight-
forward course, and n adopting the policy of the Govern-
ment, had embodied hat policy in a clear and distinct pro-
position. (Hear, hem) He would not adopt the course
suggested by the note lord in his amendment.
Mr. WALPOLE ft tid that the noble viscount (Palmer-

nent that would not tell us that we had been receiving cent.
per cent. for the additional war expenditure incurred within
the last few years. With reference to the amendment, he
thought the noble lord had taken a most unprecedented
course in moving it, and that it indicated two minds and
two policies at work in the Cabinet—that of the noble lord
himself and that of his Chancellor of the Exchequer.

was not his intentionto disturl► the Government. His ob

Mr. COBDEN said it was the gloomy commercial pro-
spects of the country which had roused the feeling in refe-
rence to national expenditure, and it could not be said that
it could be maintained at its present rate, for the revenue
would not be forthcoming to meet it. The strength of a
nation did not depend so much on its armaments as pn its
resources, and the influence of England was best main-
tained by her financial soundness, and liedenied the doctrine
that a country best kept up its influence by a display of
armaments. As all England's armaments were kept up
reference to France, it would be better, instead of being
obliged to reduce our armaments by poverty, to come to an
understanding with France;on the subject of iron ships and
diminution of naval and military expenditure. Unless the
Government now in office could apply themselves to the
task of the decrease of expenditure, he should counsel those
who desired to attain that end to give their support to Mr.
Disraeli, if he would undertake the task.
The house then divided, and there appeared—

daring for itself whether it would come to any resolution

as to whether the flrunces of this country could not be so
administered as to iaake the national income meet the
national expenditure.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH rose amidst cries of "Read, read."
He said he proposed to adhere to his amendment, because
it was the last of all tbo amendments which had been
placed on the paper. (Laughter.) Ho did not condemn
the Government, but he thought the subject to which his

amendment referred should be fully discussed.
Sir F. SMITH, whc had also an amendment, disclaimed
any hostility to the Government, and said that he dealt with
the subject as an officer in her Majesty's service and a mem-
ber of that house.

Mr. BRIGHT censured, and Mr. ELLICE, who moved
the adjournment of the house, defended the course taken by
the noble lord (Palmerton) and the Government.
A scene of great confusion ensued, some members endea-
vouring to address the house, but succeeding only in a

pantomimic performance amid great laughter.
The SPEAKER having called hon. members to order,

Mr. WALPOLE said that, not being prepared to incur
the consequences of carrying a resolution, the effect of
which would bo a dissolution of Parliament or a change of
Government, he should withdraw the amendment of which
he had given notice.
Mr. W. E. FORSTER congratulated the economists on
having obtained a pledge from Lord Palmeibt..o taL4t,

Mr. Ellice was withdrawn.

Mr. STANSFELD moved—,, That, in the opinion of

without compromising the safety, the independence, or the
legitimate influence of the country." He contended that

penditure, he referred to the expenses incurred in the
Crimean war, and went in detail through some of the larger
items in our naval and military operations ; and ho now

THE SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAN regretted the absence of the noble
earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, as the question ho
wished to put was so important that not a day nor an hour
ought to elapse before a bill was brought in to prevent ships
being fitted out for the slave trade at Liverpool. He
alluded to the case of the Nightingale,and asked if the Go-
vernment had consulted the law officers of the Crown with
respect to it.
Earl GRANVILLE suggested to the noble and learned
lord that ha should give notice of his question.
PUBLIC-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) ACT AMEND-
IsIE;sTT.
Lord KINNAIRD moved that the house go into com-
mittee on this bill, the object of which was to relax some of
the provisions of the original act, which pressed heavily on
public houses in Scotland.
The Earl of AIRLIE moved that the house go into
committee on the bill on the 13th of June.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH and the Duke of ARGYLE sup-
ported the motion for going into committee.
The Earl of MINTO said the extreme restrictions of the
act now in force led to two great evils in the large towns in
Scotland.

Mr. OSBORNE delivered an amusing speech which con
vulsed the house with laughter, and in which he described
the several amendments as "herrings," dragged before the
house to draw it off the scent. He severely animadverted
on Mr, Walpole's vacillation, denounced the motion of Mr.
Stansfeld as a solemn sham, and the speeches which had
been delivered in favour of retrenchment as "bow-wow
platitudes." He had no faith in the economical professions
of the Premier.

Mr. BAXTER seconded tho motion.
Lord PALMERSTON opposed the motion, on the ground

chiefly that it was impossible to state in the present year
what would be the circumstances of the count' y and its
relations with foreign powers in the next. He objected also
to all anticipatory resolutions as unbecoming in Parliament
to adopt, for they were either a nullity or an embarrassing
and inconvenient pledge ; and the Goverment thought the

Lord Palmerston's amendment having now become a
substantive motion.

proper course to pursue was to submit an amendment
couched in terms embodying the policy which could best be
recommended to the house. An increased expenditure,

Mr. LINDSAY moved, as an amendment, to leave out
all the words after the word "abroad" for the purpose of
adding the following :—" but this house would regard with
satisfaction such a decrease of the national expenditure as
would admit of a reduction of the present exceptional war
taxation."

arising from the improved organisation of the navy and
army, had been wisely sailed for by the country, sanctioned
by Parliament, and carried into effect by successive admi-
nistrations. It was necessary that we should have the

means of protecting our own shores and the vast interests
which we had in all parts of the world ; and he contended
that we had not larger military and naval establishments

Lord PALMERSTON said he opposed this amendment
on the same grounds that he had urged against that of Mr.
Walpole.
Mr. DISRAELI recommended the house to agree to the
motion of the Premier without further discussion.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE considered that Mr. Walpole had
exercised a wise discretion in withdrawing his amendment ;
and reminded the Government that, in doing so, the house
had been saved from pronouncing on the false issue, and
left free to deal with the subject of the finances on a future
and an early day.
After a few words from Mr. CLAY, the amendment of
Mr. Lindsay was negatived, and the motion of Lord Pal-
merston agreed to without a division.
Mr. PEEL obtained leave to bring a bill to amend the

The amendment was ultimately withdrawn, and their
lordships went into committee on the bill.
While the bill was in committee two divisions took place,
one on clause 14 and the other on clause 22, but both
clauses were retained.
Clauses 33 to 36 inclusive having been struck out, the
remaining clauses were agreed te, and the house resumed.

the general expenditure, he held that the resolution, worded
as it was, and applying literally to the establishments for
the present year, was one which, if the house agreed to it,
they would be stultifying themselves, and reversing the
decisions to which they camewhen the matters in detail were
submitted to their consideration. On the other hand, the
amendment which he would propose combined a statement of

----___ _
the opinions which seemed to animate all parts of the
house; and declared that it was not only the duty of the
Government to study and practise economy in the rublic
service, but that it was also an obligation resting on the
house not to lose sight of ita duty to provide adequately for
the defences of the country and the maintenance of our im-
portant interests abroad. Turning then to Mr. Walpole's
amendment, the noble lord observed that according to the
right hon. gentleman there was not much material diffe-
rence between it and the proposal of the Government.
Why, then, move it at all ? The truth was that "the wound
was great because it was so small." In other words, the
difference was great because it was so small; and there was
no disguising the fact that the right hon. gentleman
spurned the amendment of the Government and peremp-
torily told them to adopt his own instead, from a desire to
impose a degradation upon the Government. He objected
to that amendment, then, because it implied coercion in
place of free action, and was a palpable attempt o make the
Government " swallow the leek." If it were agreed to the
result would be such as the house might naturally suppose
would follow, In conclusion, the noble lord said that if the

EPSOM RACES, TUESDAY.

This meeting commenced much as usual, with a large

race of the day took place the betting on the Derby showed
an improvement in the Marquis, and a decline in the Stock-
well colt and Ensign, while Sir Joseph Hawley's horses
were in great demand. On reaching the Downs we found
the running-ground in remarkably good order, and a few
unimportant steps taken in alterations about the weighing-
house. A temporary and inconvenient stand (without a
roof) had also been erected for trainers between the Grand
Stand and that known as Barnard's. In point of racing
we think everybody must have been satisfied, for largo
fields went to the post for each of the races as they came on
for decision. A wonderful 2-yr-old made his first appear-
ance in the Woodcoto Stakes, and was backed for next
year's Derby, immediately after winning, at the short price
of 12 to 1. The Rous Stakes produced a very beautiful
contest, and the clever victory of Buckenham in the Craven
made the friends of the Marquis more sanguine than ever,
and brought his stable companion Harlequin into the mar-
ket at 50 to 1.

Sir A. CLIFFORD, yeoman usher of the black rod, sum-
moned the Speaker and the members to the Upper House
to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to several
bills, for which see Lords' report.
THE INCOME TAX.

Opposition wished to express distrust in the Government

and affirmation. Ho then moved, by way of amendment on

pressed with the necessity of economy in every department
of the State, is at the same time mindful of its obligation to

Several petitions were presented from different parts of
the country against the present mode of levying the Income-
tax, and praying for the exemption of all incomes under
£l5O a year from its operation.

provide for the security of the country at home and the pro-
tection of its interests abroad—that this house observes with

satisfaction the decrease which has already been effected in
the national expenditure, and trusts that such further dimi-
nution may be made therein as the futuro state of things
may warrant."
Mr. DISRAELI remarked on the studious omission

from Lord Palmerston's speech of all reference to the pre-
sent condition of our finances, and said he apprehended
that it was the condition of the public finances de-
scribed by the Government as unhealthy, and believed
by the Parliament and people as dangerous, that
had brought somewhat suddenly but earnestly the conside-
ration both of Parliament and the people to the expenditure
of the country. If he looked at the defences of the country
at home and abroad, he believed it was impossible for any
country to be more secure than England was at this mo-
ment ; and that she should be in danger of a midnight foray
from a " cordial ally" was a monstrous absurdity. But the
real cause of England's influence, after all, was the circum-
stance that she was the only country which, when she en-
tered into a quarrel that she believed to be just, never
ceased her efforts until she had accomplished her aim.
What enabled her to do this ? Her determination, sup-
ported by her financial resources, which enabled her to
maintain a struggle for more than two or three campaigns,
whenever she had a worthy object to attain. The conclu-
sion at which he arrived, then, was that we were entering
into a heavy expenditure for naval and military purposes
which were not necessary for the security of our shores or
the maintenance of our interests and influence abroad.
There was nothing in the state of Europe that justified ex-
travagant and extraordinary armaments. Italian unity he
left to the care of the noble lord. Words enough he had
given the Italians; what more ho had given them none
knew better than the Italians themselves. Europe was
tranquil, because she was exhausted. Where was Austrian
finance ?—Where Russian? What was the condition even
of that Imperial France, which was thrown before our face
as a bugbear on every occasion P In these circumstances
it was for England to remember that the chief source of her
influence in Europe was the consciousness in every court of
Europe that, when the struggle came, it was not the first,
second, or third campaign that daunted her ; but, proud in
the elasticity of her inexhaustible riches, her industry, and
her freedom, she could enter into a contest from which
she would never swerve, and in which she had ever boon
the victor. These, then, were times for economy, and
for a scrutinising revision of expenditure, because from
the state of our finances, we were forced to consider
the subject and face our condition, and because he believed
that revision could be made with a view to retrenchment,
without in the least degree impairing or compromising
either our defences at home or our influence and interests
abroad. The necessity for a reduction of expenditure was
also evidenced by the sufferings prevailing in the cottntry,
as indicated by the returns of the Board of Trade. Passing
then to the resolution of Mr Stansfeld, the right hon. gen-
tleman described it as high sounding, little meaning, and
unsatisfactorily expressed. To all intents and purposes,
however, it implied a want of confidence; and he contended
that no person had a right to propose such a motion who
was not prepared to undertake the responsibility of turning
out the Government. He was not, therefore, prepared to
vote want cf confidence in the Government, following a
gentleman who was not in a position to bear the conse-
quences of such a steps. With regard to the amendment of
Lord Palmerston, he thought it was quite unnecessary, and
that it would have been preferable to meet Mr. Stansfeld's
motion with a simple negative; for the amendment had no
definite object, and shadowed forth no definite policy. The
object which it ought to have indicated was, that in the
present state of affairs, the first duty of the Minister was to
make such reductions as would equalise expenditure and
revenue; and the policy should be, as reductions were made
to diminish that war taxation which, resorted to in times of
peace, was sapping and wasting the financial reserve which
was the source of our influence with foreign nations, and
the best security for our interests abroad. Under these cir-
cumstances, he should have been glad to have had the op-
portunity of voting for the amendment of his right hon.
friend Mr. W alpole ; but he was prevented from doing that
in consequence of the interpretation which the noble lord
had placed upon its language, the result of which
was the
he was left in the position of those gentlemen who, on the
Derby-day, might find that a favourite had "bolted."
Mr. HORSMAN made a fierce onslaught on the peace
party and the Emperor of the French. He reviewed the
foreign policy of this country since the year 1853, and ex-
pressed his approval of the course pursued by Earl Russell,
since the annexation of Savoy. He believed that the in-
fluence which we enjoyed in the couicils of Europe at this
moment was attributable mainly to the knowledge of our
material strength, and that as a mere question of trading
not of politics—thoro was not 1114 factorise nia the coati-

made the running, followed by Wingravo, King of Hearts,
and Buckenham, the others lying off. Descending the hill
the lot closed up, and came round the turn in close com-
pany, Star of the West still leading, closely attended by
Sawcutter, Draghound, and Buckenham. At the road
Draghound was beaten, and his place was taken by Mr.

on together to the Stand, where Sawcutter was disposed of ;
Buckenham at the same time joined Star of the West,

The winner was bought in for 100 guineas, and Mau-
bourquot was claimed by Mr. Armstrong.
