ample scope for the judicious use of the pruning

large item. A portion of this expenditure, however,
is fortunately not of a permanent character; and
parliament, we should hope, will not permit it to
be incurred again. Buckingham Palace, for in-

We have also the pleasure of paying the travel-
ling expenses of their Majesties the King and
Queen of the Belgians, and other distinguished
foreigners, to a considerable tune, a pleasure which
may be dispensed with. Such items of expendi-
ture, extracted from a people Buffering severe com-
mercial and industrial depression, and groaning
under the weight of heavy general and local taxa-
tion, do not contribute to strengthen in their hearts
attachment to the institutions of the country.
The saving which can be effected by cutting
down, however rigorously, these and other branches
)f expenditure, is certainly not great, or, rather,

would nut be regarded as great were the nation er,
joying its wonted prosperity. It would, however
enable Government to afford a few reductions of

consuming classes. It would remove, too, adan-
gerous topic from the lips of agitators, who are
only too anxious to inflame popular discontent and
to direct it for their own had purposes.

THE CHELTENHAAI TRAINING SCHOOLS.-
REV. MR. CLOSE.

Never have we felt more reason to blush for the craft,
or more ashamed of any writer in connexion with the
press, than while we perused the articles of our contem-
porary of Saturday last, respecting the Rev. Mr. Close
and our recent remarks upon the great work he has brought
to such a successful issue at Cheltenham. The lowest
radical and bitterest dissenting publication could not have
exceeded, and would scarcely be ambitious of rivalling the
tone of coarse invective, without wit or.point, and of per-
sonal spleen and ribald abuse
