ApIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL

Mr. Goulburn led on a fistee attack of the finer).-
cial management of Ministers last night.
" This was (he said) the first occasion in which we had
found ourselves with a large deficiency of income as com-
pared with our expenditure; and that, under the peculiar
circumstances that the expectations of the country bad
bee❑ raised, to find a different result only throe months
antecedently. It now appeared that whereas the Nable
Lord opposite had at that period promised us a surplus
little short of 500,0001., we found that there was a defi-
ciency of 700,0001., so that a change in the supposed con-
dition of our finances to the amount of nearly 1,200,000/.
had been effected in the short period of three months !"
We had a surplus revenue on the .sth of January,
1831, exceeding 2,900,0001., whereas now there
was a deficiency of 700,000/. On this he rung the
changes through a long speech. Lord Althorp
frankly stated that he had never considered it desir-
able that there should be a large surplus revenue.
He admitted that when he had made the statement
of the year's revenue and expenditure, estimating
the last quarter by the three quarters which had ex-
pired, his information had not been carrect.
" In the last quarter (said his Lordship) the beer duties
expired, and consequently no mention of them did telly
occur in the last quarter. This undeuhtedly had led him
into an error, as far as 350,000/. lie did not wish to
deceive the House. If they thought him in error, he was
hound to suffer far it; but never wouL4 Ins attempt to de-
ceive them. Besides, there was another error into
which he had been led, but in which he must take
the Right Honourable Gentleman as a particeps er;-
minis—namely, the amount likely to amirue from
the increased duty on spirits. The Right floaourable
Gentleman calculated that at 450,000/. ; and 1.1:. (Mr. G.)
was aware that a large quantity of this would falt in the
list quarter. Notwithstanding the anticipatioria of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, however, the additioral duty
produced no increase; but, on the contrary, there was a
falling off of 100,000/. in the year; and, thirdly-, a Bill
had come in from Canada about the Ri.leau Canal, on
which they had not at all calcallat.ll. Bceidas, in ,he last
quarter there was a great stagnation of trade and difficulty
in commerce, which produced a falling off in the revenue.
He had stated the grounds of the calcu'aaions on which
they had proceeded, and the reasons why those grounds
had deceived them."
His Lordship then proceeded to notice the effect of
the reductions of taxation 1,14 year. The amount
of taxes reduced was 1,500,0001.; but from this the
100,000/. derived from additional taxe► was to he
deducted, leaving 1,400,000/. Deducting from the
amount of taxes reduced, 1,400,0001., the balance of
the expenditure over the revenue of 700,0004, had
there bee)) no reductions of taxes, the revenue would
have exceeded the expenditure by 700,000/. His
Lordship, however, candidly admitted that had he
not reduced the taxes, the surplus would not have
been so great as 700,0001., because the effect of re-
duction is to add to the produce of the remaining.
taxes. In adverting to the current year, his Lord-
'hip said the estimates would be considerably lower
than last year, and allowing for additional duties, and

axes coining into full operation, he anticipated a
surplus of 164,000/. Mr. P. Thomson successfully
retorted on the former Ministry; their expenditure
in building of Palaces, their Rideau Canal, &c. Ile
had a right to say, that a large proportion, it nut the
whole of the deficiency, of which so much had been
said, would not have existed but for claims of that
description.
"He deplored tire deficiency in the revenue of this
year : but certainly such a deficiency was not unheard-of
in the history of this country; and the difhreace iretween
the present and the former state of things was, that there
eras now no concealment.—(Cheers from thi, Ministerial
B•nches, answered from the Opposition.) The accounts
wtre now stated plainly and fairly—(Renewed cheering)__
they were plainly and fairly put before the public ; and
,he desire of the present Government was, that the people
should be acquainted with the real state of the public
finances. Tire present Ministers did not borrow money,
that they might use it in appearing to pay off the national
debt—(Cheers)—they did not take money, borrowed from
the Bank, and secured at a heavy interea', upon what were
called Long Annuities, and them put it down in their ac-
counts as part of the income received, anti applicable to
the discharge of debts and expenses—(Hear, hear, hear)_.
they did not attempt any mystification ; they desired that
everything should be plain and intelligible.—(ficar.)"
Mr. P. Thomson recapitulated the series of
miserable blunders respecting spirits and sugar, cora-
rnitted by Mr. Goulburn, when Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and concluded with an exposure of the
contemptible meanness of their conduct it the case
of the Timber Duties, and the Sugar Bill, when
they factiously joined in the attack of their succes-
sors for introducing measures first proposed by them-
'elves. Mr. Goulburn ought to remember the
adage, that a man with a glass-house should not
throw stones. There is nothing in the way of in-
consistency in Mr. Baring which now surprises any
one. It is an understood matter that he unsays one
day what he said the day before; nay, that tee con-
elusion of the same speech is generally an answer to
he commencement. Lest night he thought Mi-
nisters had gone too far in the way of cutting down
officers, while he condemned them for voting away
the Russian and Dutch loan with scarcely a shadow
of a consideration. We had imaginvd, that
•vhatever opinion might be entertained as to
continuing the payment, without the urevious
sanction of Parliament, there could hardly be
any difference of opinion as to the validity of the
claim. It might be a question whether we ought, in
he first instance, to have relieved Russia of this debt;
but having made the bargain, to follow Mr. B.tring's
advice now would be a despicable piece of chicanery.
Sir Robert Peel displayed a great inclination to be
witty at the expence of Mr. Poulett Thomson, on
account of his observation, that the defic]eticy was
tot caused by an extravagant expenditure, but by
caving the money in the pockets of the people.
We cannot say that the success corresponded with
the inclination. In the case of a people higely taxed
as we are, with the embarrassment occasioned by
the harassing opposition to Reform, height erred by the
cholera, the screwing system may be carried too far.
" The Noble Lord (said Sir Robert), by his mode of
calculating, made out that at the close of next year there
could be a surplus of only 162,0001. This prospect,
considering the state of Europe and the state of the
country (and if that state led to a greater domestic expen-
diture, it should meet with no opposition from bun), in-
stead of being satisfactory, was to him (Sir it. Peel) me-
lancholy. The principles avowed by the two Might Hon.
Gentlemen (Mr. S. Rice and Mr. P. Tilionsoir) were,
however, much more alarming than the admitted defi-
eiencies of the Noble Lord. They said that, at ali events,
the people had been relieved ; and that whatever might he
the distress of the State in consequence, the coal duty had
item repealed. Did not these twit Right Hun. Gentle-
men (who were not only Arcades combo, but on all °cot-
lions cantare parati, although their friends Bright not be
so glad to hear them) recollect that the same arguwent
would apply to every tax ? The Asseased Taxes might be
repealed at once; and although the revenue would he de-
ficient in consequence, the country would be relieved, and
alinisters might throw themselves on the country. The
doctrine, that in spite of deficiencies inaposts might be re-
moved, was a dangerous as well as a delusive doctrine.__
(Cheers.) It might, perhaps, find favour in the eyes of a
reformed Parliament; but the very circumstance of the
increase of democratic influence would prevent all lung-
sighted views of the public interest. The test mode of
,elieving the people was to preserve the national faith
old credit; and, by degrees, to pay off the national debt."
If the state of Europe shodd lead to a necessity
for greater expenditure, the expenditure must of
course be met by increased sacrifices on the part of
• lie people. The question is, which course is moat
olvisable while we are at peace ? By way of cast•
Mg ridicule on the doctrines of the Vice-President
of the Board of Trade, that the money left in the
pockets of the people would be employed with
more advantage by them, in a national point of
view, than if extracted with a view to surplus re-
venue, Sir Robert alluded to the case of Colombia,

as if there were the least analogy between the cir-
cumstances of the two countries. Taxation may be
pushed so far as to cripple the productive power o.
he country; and, in the long run, it may be more

Some of our contemporaries have already noticed
the official list of Magistrates, in each county of
England and \Vales, who have qualified after their
appointments by the Lord Chancellor—having, of
course, been recommended to his Lordship by the
Loris-Lieutenant of their respective counties. The
first circumstance which must strike everybody in
this extraordinary document is the number of clergy-
men of the Established Church who have seats upon
the bench of justice. The total amount of unpaid
Magistrates is 5,371, of which the clerical portion
is 1,354—a trifle more than one-fourth of the entire
'Magistracy, and as the parochial clergy in England
do not exceed (we believe) 6,000 individuals in the
gross, it appears that nearly every fourth parson in
this country is a Justice ! More than one-third of
the Magistrates nominated by the Duke of Buck-
ingham, for that county from which his Grace has
borrowed his title, are clergymen, viz., 54 ; whilst
the lay occupants of the Bench, representing
the whole mass of resident gentlemen, are but
90. It has been well remarked that the zeal ex-
hibited in the county of Bucks by a certain portion
of the Justices, at a late election in favour of the
Tory candidate, admits of an easy solution. So
in Cornwall, under the Lord of Mount-Edgecumbe,
there are altoget h. r but 90 Magistrates, of whom
3( are parson. In Dorsetshire the clerical Jus-
tices are 25, out of a total of 68. In that quarter
likewise (the Bankes country) there was a signal
though futile display of black-coated bustle. His
Grace of Rutland, in Leicestershire, has made a free
use of the Church—and to an extent exceedingly
characteristic of Tory orthodoxy : seventeen clergy-
men figure in that favoured county, while of laymen
t:iere are but twenty and seven! Turn we to Lin-
colnshire, where the Tory Earl Brownlow reigns—
and where flourishes the gallant Sibthorpe—the lay
Justices of the Peace are 59—the parsons, or war-
Justices, are no less than 52! If Northampton-
shire be represented by Lords Althorp and
Milton, it surely is not the Lord-Lieutenant's
fault, for that patriarch of religion and liberty, Lord
Westmorland, out of eighty-four unpaid Magistrates,
has contrived to raise thirty-five stout hands from
among the clergy. This is sad work for the Esta-
blished Church. Disposed as are the people towards
the administration of law by the inferior magistracy,
is it wise, let us ask, to show such a force of clergy-
men in the front of that odious administration ? Is
it, we repeat, wise or honest towards religion itself,
to place its ministers among the most active of that
body which we fear the poor of England regard
too much as (of late) their habitual oppressors ? But
is true justice dealt out to the people in the exact
ratio of the number of clergy amongst its dis-
pensers ? In Kent, there are, to the credit of Lord
Camden, (a man to whom, Anti-Reformer though
he he, the country ovte a lasting debt of grati-
tude)—there are no more than two clergy men
out of a corps of Magistrates amounting to 14.7. In
Derbyshire there are none ; but there the head of
the house of Cavendish is Lord Lieutenant; and in
Sussex none, where the excellent Lord Egremont is
the director. Are the laws worse administered in
Kent, Derby, and Sussex, than throughout England
generally ? The fact is, that no clergyman ought to
he in the commission of the peace, except in districts,
if there be such districts, where no other persons in '
the rank of gentlemen can be found to act as Magis-
trates. The tendency *of such appointments is to
make churchmen politicians, and from politicians
their descent is easy : they become to those above
and to those below them, respectively sycophants
and tyrants. The total exclusion of clergymen from
the judgment-seat ought to be an essential feature of
all church Reform in this kingdom.—Times.
An animated debate took place in the House of
Commons last night, in reference to the finances of
the country. The Opposition were led on to the
attack by Mr. Goulburn, who charged the Ministers
with having anticipated a large surplus under dif-
ferent heads of expenditure, whereas it had so turned
ou t that, instead of a surplus, there was a consider-
able deficiency at the end of the year. Mr. P.
Thomson replied to the charges of Mr. Goulburn
with great felicity :—" He would not inquire," he
said, " whether Government were not placed un-
tier obligations to a great extent, in consequence of
the extravagance and worthless expenditure of their
pi edecessors—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches)
—he would not inquire whether there was not heavy
debts on account of Palaces—(Cheers)—or whether
there were rot sums due for the Rideau canal—
( Hear, hear)—or whether, in fact, a great propor-
tion, if not the whole, of the deficiency was not
to be attributed to such obligations bequeathed
them by their predecessors."—(Hear, hear.) But
the most important feature of the whole discus-
sion was the declaration made by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer that there was to be a considerable
reduction in the estimates for the next year. This
intimation was received with loud cries by the
House, and no doubt it will give great satisfaction
out of doors also. A more effectual mode of putting
down the quibbles and cavils of their opponents
could not have been devised, if such were the mo-
tive by which the Government was actuated. Let
them redeem that pledge; let them adhere to that
wise system of reduction, and we greatly mistake
the disposition of the people of this country if they
do not forgive their Ministers a little false prophecy
in the expected produce of certain taxes. There
was no division, and, of course, no trial of strength
between the parties.—Morning Herald.
We have received some letters respecting Sir
Henry Hardinge's late conduct in the House of
Commons, from the tone of which, as well as from
the general tone of conversation on the subject, we
are strongly disposed to think that he has done his
cause—the cause of the Anti-Reformers—no great
good. This result, we will at once confess, does not
weigh very heavily upon our spirits. We can believe
that Old Sarum or Gatton has received a shake from
the failing of one of its supporters, without appre-
hend rig that the hopes of society are likely to he
crushed by the falling in of the old ruins to which
we are indebted for so many legislators. To Sir
Henry Hardinge and his political friends, who con-
sider any influence from without so serious an evil
to the House of Commons—so great a blow to iis
character and consequence, that the very mention
of it ought to be resented as an insult—to such po-
liticians the loss of Old Sarum or Gatton, where
there are no such things as electors or sections
to utter an unseemly word of advice or remon-
strance, must appear indeed a gap in the Consti-
tution ; but to us, and those who think with us,
that the people should have some voice in a
House which, to represent their interests, ought to
know something of their opinions, the loss of the
aforesaid venerable relics is not a matter of much
importance, though Harlequin himself might envy
the dexterity with which, through their agency, some
of the State mpgiciana have been able to make
Members of Parliament jump out of brick walls.
But though we are not sorry for the effect which the
intemperance of Sir Henry Hardinge is likely to
have on tie cause he espouses,hy disgusting moderate
people with the arrogance of the party, we are sorry
fir the effect which the same conduct is calculated to
produce on his own reputation. When we assign, as
we do, without hesitation, to Sir Henry Hardinge
the character of a brave man, we must tell him that
we are far from setting the same value on the quality
that he does, because we believe it to be one of
the commonest distinctions to which a man can
lay claim. If he will only reflect on the thousands
and tens of thousands who have accompanied
him into every field of battle in which he ever stood,
he will see that it was not the possession of any
rare or unusual quality which enabled him to do the
same thing so many others had done along with him.
This reflection would probably render him less in-
clined than he has been to use the language of
" bravado ;" it would probably call up his pride to
correct the infirmities of his temper. The conduct
of Lord Ebrington on the occasion, though a little
too warm in repelling the absurd charge brought

In the House of Commons last night the
Opposition, headed by Mr. GOULBURN, made
a fresh attack on the Ministry on the subject of
finance. The answers of Lord ALTHO RP, Mr.
SPRING RICE, and Mr. POULETT THOMPSON
were so conclusive, and so satisfactory to the
House, that we have oily room to-day to refer
to them. One observation of Lord A LTIIORP
will be read with delight—that the Estimates
for the present year will be greatly reduced.
A change is to be made in the financial year,
from January to the Ist of April, and the Esti-
mates to be presented nearly three months before
they are be discussed. This looks honest,
because it challenges investigation.

In the German Papers received this morning,
we find the follovving article from the frontiers of
Russia, stating that the Emperor of RUSSIA has
deemed it expedient to order his army on the
march to Poland, to halt—and a hope is ex-
pressed that France will therefore disarm. This
is an idle wish, for France knows better :
Russuw FRONTIERS, JAN. 14.—1 n preceding letters.
I several times spoke of large reinforcements which were
on their way from the interior of the empire to join the
Russian army in Poland. lam now able to inform you
that orders have been sent to all the troops on their march
to Poland to halt, and that in particular a considerable
corps of infantry, which was in the government of Wilna,
has stopped there, though its destination was Poland. Be-
sides measures have lately been observed in the Russian
army still in Poland which indicate an intention to dimi-
nish rather than increase it. This causes an extraordinary
sensation. Important political motions must have inter-
vened to cause such sudden changes in military arrange-
ments already commenced. Probably representations
from foreign Courts have induced the Emperor to do
something to tranquillise the rest of Europe to render the
execution of the long-wished for disarming possible, and
to refute the false notions that Russia is adverse to it by a
measure which must put the enemies of peace to
shame, and defeat their plans. There can, therefore, be'
no doubt the news of the diminution of the Russian army
in Poland will he received with joy in the rest of Europe,
that the example will be followed in other countries, and
will contribute to relieve the people from the heavy burden
of large armies. It will now appear whether France is
equally sincere in its wishes for peace, and whether the
French are disposed to reduce their army to the: amount
necessary for maintaining order in the interior ; fur the
pretext that Russia, by its military organization, and by
the large bcdy of troops in Poland, makes it necessary for
the French nation to remain under arms, will soon vanish,
and there will be nothing to justify the keeping up
of a French army to the number of 500,000. Even
should the proposed arrangement between Belgium and
Holland not be effected so speedily as was hoped, there
would be no ground to continue in France such armaments
as we now see there. Without the united operations of
Austria, Prussia, and Russia, France has not to fear any
hostile proceedings on the Continent, and the Russian
Cabinet now plainly proves how little credit is due to the
report of its hatred toward the present French Govern-
ment. If the latter is seriously disposed to remain at
peace with the rest of Europe, it is now time to commence
diminishing instead of increasing its armies.

A report has been made to the Board of Health of the death of
a seaman, on board a vessel direct from Limerick, lying in Her-
mitage Tier, oft' St. Catherine's Docks. The symptoms in this
case were of such a auspicious nature as to induce the Lords of
his Majesty's Council to order the vessel to Standgate Creek.—
The medical gentleman, however, who reported the case, states
that one nearly similar in all its symptoms came under his ob-
servation in the month of August last, which turned out not to
be the cholera.
