Mr. GLADSTONE made the best of a bad business
last night. Including nearly half a million due to
the Indian Exchequer on account of the last war
with China, nearly six millions has to be provided
for to square our accounts with JOHN CHINAMAN.
It seems hardly credible, but such is the fact, on
the authority of Mr. GLADSTONE himself, that our
proceedings since the affair of the Taku forts at
the mouth of the Peiho, have cost us up to the pre-
sent time just £5,400,000 ; to this has to be added
£450,000, the debt to India just adverted to.
We are slightly comforted by the information
that not quite all this large sum has now to be
raised. £850,000 of it were charged upon the

- ,
income of 1859-G0; and it is gratifying to know
that so buoyant was the revenue of that year that
it weathered the charge, floated over it indeed with
a surplus. It was entirely met by the produce of
taxes, and not out of temporary resources. The
taking up of malt credits gave almost a million
earlier than usual to the Exchequer ; but, without
that aid, the actual revenue was sufficient to pay
the China demand for that year. Indeed on the
31st of March the actual surplus of income over
expenditure was £1,587,000. We come then to
the present year 1860-61.
The amount now to be raised is £3,800,000. To
meet this Mr. GLADSTONE says, first, there is the
£500,000 of taxation provided for in February ;
next, £700,000, the proceeds of the Lords' aggression
on the paper duties ; next, £1,000,000, which he
proposes to raise by increasing the spirit duties to
10s. for home-made spirits, and 103. 2d. for foreign
spirits respectively ; to which must be added the
small surplus left after all mistakes are rectified—
amounting to £264,000. Adding these sums
together, a deficiency remains of £1,336,000, which
amount he proposes to take out of the Exchequer
balances, these being, he tells us, in astate in which
they are well able to bear it.
We have thus briefly sketched the leading par-
ticulars of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's pro-
posals. The country will probably think he could
not have done better, while it will be gratified to
be -reminded of the elasticity of its ordinary sources
of revenue. To have got over the frightful esti-
mate of nearly six millions, as the cost to us of
Chincse treachery and bad faith, with only the in-
fliction of ls. 11d. additional duty on the spirit
drinkers of the country, is certainly matter of con-
gratulation. To be sure we have the mortification,
with Mr. GLADSTONE, of having to pocket the
Lit of the unrepealed paper duties to achieve
this ; but for them we should hardly have
des red our way without another penny of in-

come tax.
A. id this certainly reminis us of the assur- 1
acee of Mr. GLADSTONE in proposing that extra
Penn 7, when he now shews that he can look 1
confidently for an equivalent amount of revenue 1
from ispirit duties. We entirely acquit him of
any design to jeopardise the repeal of the paper
duties. lie, doubtless, selected income tax as the
compLoasation, because
he wished to put the screw
on our military and naval expenditure. But had
he placed in competition the paper duties, and an
additi in to the spirit duties, it seems almost cer-
tain 1: e would have attained his object. Hardly
any old or rustic lord could have been found, who
would have ventured to spare the spirit drinkers,
and to retain a "tax ;on knowledge;" and, as the
event proves, Mr. GLADSTONE might even hate
made his peace lessons still more impres_
sive. Had he now to say, " You have
chosen war with China, I must have at least one
"—Man-
penny in the pond more to pay for it
