LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 11, 1860.

THE BUDGET.

As an elocutionary display, Mr. GLADSTONE'S
Financial Statement last evening was undoubtedly
a brilliant success. It was listened to, as usual, by
a crowded house without surprise—for the appre-
ciation of Mr. GLADSTONE'S consummate abilities
as a Parliamentary rhetorician dates not from yes-
terelay—but it was listened to throughout, as a
lucid exposition of a most complex and elaborate
scheme, with far more than ordinary admiration.
The Opposition itself did not for an instant attempt
to withhold the generous applause extorted from
all sides and from all parties alike by a physical
and intellectual feat in every way so remarkable
in its accomplishment. One marvelled hardly less
at the silver and bell-like clearness of that noble
voice, but just now restored in the very nick of time
by Dr. FERGUSSON'S magical medical skill from a
week's catarrh and a week's hoarseness !—one mar-
velled, we say, hardly less at the musical resonance
of that almost miraculously restored organ during
nearly four hours' sonorously-sustained declama-
tion—than at the perfect mastery of that in-
tricate and comprehensive series of fiscal and
financial innovations displayed within the ample
grasp of a statesmanlike genius by our gifted
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Recollecting, however, the very magnitude and
the really vital importance of the numerous pro-
jects submitted to the House last evening by our
English Minister of Finance, it was certainly not
unreasonable that Mr. DISRAELI should at once
deprecate the notion of taking these wonderfully
elaborated plans into anything like precipitate con-
sideration. It is not simply that the House of
Commons has to decide upon the rejection or ac-
ceptance, or modification of an ordinary Budget. It
his to weigh in the balance of its judgment one of
the most extraordinary Budgets in every way ever
subraitte d to the scrutiny of the popular branch of the
Legislatire. And it has to consider impartially at
the sam t time one of the most surprising com-
mercial treaties ever negotiated. The Budget and
the Tref rty—tbere can to be no hesitation at least
in arriv ;
g, forthwith, at this one conclusion—the
Trealy :Ind the Budget, the Olive Branch and the
Price (y.t: it, are inextricably Dove-tailed' together.
A wept the one, and you must perforce accept the
oth Cr. Twenty-four hours have not nearly, as
yet,
clap sect, .at the, time at which we are now writing,
since the -Treaty was laid upon the table by Lord
JOHN ansi since both Treaty and Budget were
simul tanec.usly explained to the house of Commons
by the I Chancellor of the Exchequer. An interval
of to is days, it has been decided, shall elapse
