THE BUDGET.

Exactly at five o'clock, the house went into Committee
of Ways and Means, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CI:MCIVER rose to make his statement respecting the
finances of the country. After some introductory obser-
vations in relation to the gravity of the occasion, he men-
tioned that, on the 18th of April last, he estimated the
total revenue of the country from Customs, Excise, Stamps,
Taxes, Income-tax, Post-office, Crown Lands, and mis-
cellaneous receipts, at £52,990,000, but the actual receipts
had been £54,025,000. The expenditure he estimated at
£52,183,000 in 1853, but it had only amounted to
£51,171,000. The surplus he placed at £2,854,000. He
then described the effect of various reductions of duty of
the. Customs, particularly on tea, and of the penny re-
ceipt stamps. With respect to the latter, the result had
been very satisfactory, for the receipts, which he esti-
mated would show a falling off of £37,000 on the year,
had actually improved by £36,000 (hear). He had esti-
mated the Irish Income-tax, at a net amount of
£460,000, and he expected it would produce £480,000.
This tax had quite answered the expectations of
the. Government. The result of the lowering of the
tax to incomes of £lOO a year had been exactly
such as he had anticipated ; the additional shilling on
spirit duties.in Scotland had produced £209,000, and not
£278 000, as he had estimated, The augmentation of the
spirit duties in Ireland had been altogether satisfactory..
It had produced an increase of £213,000. The result of
the succession duties had not produced so much as had
been anticipated. Such was generally last year's estimate
and the• actual results, and he thought that the whole
combined showed that the finances of the country were
upon a sound and solid basis. He estimated the receipts
for the year 1854 to 1855 were—Customs, £20,175,000 ;
Excise, £14,595,000; Stamps, 7,090,000; Taxes, £3,015,000
£6.275.000: Post-office, £1.200,000 ; Crown
Lands, £259,000 ; Old Stores, £420,000 ; Miscellaneous,.
£3 0,000. Total Estimates. Receipts, £53,349,000.
With regard to expenditure, he estimated it as follows :
Charge of the funded debt, £27,000 ; charge of unfunded!.
debt, £546,000; charges on consolidated fund, £2,460,000 ;
army,£6,857;000 ; navy, £7,488,000 ; ordnance, £3,846,000
commissariat, £645,000 ; miscellaneous, £4,775,000 ;
militia, £530,000 ; packet service, £792,000 ; extraordi-
nary military expenditure, £1,250,000; total, £56,189,000;
showing a deficiency of £2,840,000. The estimate of
expenditure was no less than £4,370,000 in excess of that
of last year ; but had it not been for extraordinary charges,
owing to circumstances to which he need not refer, there
would. have been £1,666,000 which would have been
available for the further remission of taxation. The,
question then arose—how should the deficiency of
£2,840,000 be made up ? He would at once express a
hope that the house would not retrace its steps with re-
gard to, remissions of duty already made (cheers). In the
present circumstances of Europe, Government could not
propose to part with any of the existing branches of re-
venue, nor could they suggest the addition of one far-
thing to our present indirect taxation. We had the
means, with regard to our military forces, of carrying on
the war with vigour, and he congratulated the house that
we had the opinion of Europe with us, which justified a
hope that the present might not be a prolonged struggle.
Beyond this he could not go. How could the expense be
borne ?—would it be right to charge our posterity with
the cost of war ? He thought not : and therefore he
could not concur with the suggestion of a loan (cheers).
So long as the burden was bearable, and so long as the
supplies for the year could be borne within the year,
Government were determined, therefore, not to resort to
the money market (hear). They could not condescend
thus to mortgage the industry of posterity. The moral,
economical, and industrial interests of the country were
opposed to any such expedient. There could not, after this
explanation, remain much doubt as to the course which
Government intended to propose, and which he believed
the house would adopt. He had last year stated that the
Income-tax was the great engine to which we must look
in case of European necessity, though he had not at that
time the remotest idea of so soon calling for its assistance.
He proposed, therefore, to provide for the deficiency which
he had stated, as well as to provide a moderate margin
beyond, by increasing the Income-tax by one-half, and to
levy the whole in addition for, and in respect to, the
first moiety of the year. In other words, the Income-
tax would be double for the last half-year ; this would
produce £3,137,000, being one-half of £6,275,000; but he
estimated it at £3,307,000. He, therefore, estimated
the total Income-tax for 1854-55 at nine million five
hundred and eighty-two thousand pounds ; the total
income therefore would be £56,656,000, while the expendi-
ture stood at £56,189,000 ; and thus a small surplus
would be left of £467,000. (Hear.) He did not propose
to make any additions of duty but in the stamp law with
respect to foreign bills, which was in an unsatisfactory
state, and which was frequently evaded, to the detriment
of the revenue. He proposed to adopt an ad valorem
scale of 3d. for each £25, or ls. for each £lOO upon short
bills, and of 4d. for each £25, and ls. 4d. for each £lOO,
upon long bills. This scale to be carried up to £5,000.
He proposed to abolish altogether the distinction between
home drawn and foreign drawn bills, and to make them
pay precisely the same rate of stamp. (Hear.) Adhesive
stamps to be used, so that there could be no obstructions
to the trade. These alterations he did not believe would
take effect before 6th July. He intended to ask also for a
new issue of £1,750,000 exchequer bills, which would only
leave the unfunded debt at the amount it was little more
than a year ago. These would be really supply-bills, in
anticipation of supplies which the house would grant, and
they would be paid off when the house had granted the
supplies. Describing the mode in which the public balances
had been employed in the operations bearing on the last
session relative to the public debt, he stated that they
had been attended with a saving of £130,000. If, then,
the house agreed to the proposal of government, they
would double the first half-yearly payment of the income
tax in respect to 1854-5, and make provision for the
interval before the tax could be levied by an issue bf
exchequer bills within the amount of £1,750,000 to be
paid out of the growing produce of the revenue. (Hear.)
He concluded, exactly at seven o'clock, by moving a
resolution for the issue of one million seven hundred and
fifty thousand pounds Exchequer Bills, and said the coin-
' mittee would meet again on Monday next.
?Jr. WILLIAMS approved of the right hon. gentleman's
raising his additional income from an increase of the
Income Tax.
Mr. HENLEY reminded the right hon. gentleman of
the stress laid by the late Sir R. Peel on having a large
balance in the Exchequer. He criticised several portions
of the scheme, especially that relating to the vote for
£1,750,000 in Exchequer Bills. He thought the general
principles of the plan were sound and unobjectionable.
Mr. GLYN made some observations on the Currency
Act, in reference to the scheme of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
Mr. VANCE objected to the ad valorem duty proposed
to be levied on the Foreign Bills of Exchange, and trusted
that, before the measure was passed, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would re-consider the matter, and take the
opinion of the mercantile interest.
Mr. MALINS concurred generally in the plan of the
right honourable gentleman, but suggested that other ar-
rangements should be made as regards the Income Tax.
He thought it a matter for grave consideration, whether
a great war could be carried on with a restricted
currency.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in replying to
Mr. Henley, disclaimed the necessity of keeping large
balances in the public exchequer, maintaining that the
real foundation of the public credit lay in the expenditure
being below the revenue. He also replied in detail to the
several objections and suggestions thrown out in the dis-
oussiLon, defending, at considerable length,. the different
features which had been impeached er criticised.
