obtained to meet the next dividend. According to
Mr. GLADSTONE'S statement, the amount of Ex-
chequer Bills now out does not exceed sixteen
millions ; and this is said to be very satisfactory,
because it falls short of the amount authorised by
the Act of Parliament. Unfortunately for the
soundness of the argument, the Parliament has
been obsequious in granting every demand made
by the Minister without any very rigid inquiry
into its necessity or propriety, and, therefore, no
great credit can be taken for not exceeding Par-
liamentary grants, though it may be a serious
question whether, amidst professions of financial
prosperity, the unfunded debt should reach so large
a sum. The great mistake that has been com-
mitted is the placing reliance on the present Minis-
ters upon their own professions of administrative
talent, and the country is now beginning to ex-
perience some of the consequences of misplaced
confidence. At a time when Ministers must have
known, from official correspondence which has only
recently been made public, that a rupture with
Russia was probable, if not inevitable, all the ready
money was paid away in order to gratify a financial-
crotchet which nothing but a plethora of capital
could have justified or excused ; and now, when
the monetary world is under pressure, and interest
is high, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is
compelled to borrow, in order to pay the expenses
of a war which the bad management of his col-
leagues has precipitated. Whatever may be the
issue—whether a speedy settlement be arrived at,
or the contest be protracted—it is right that the
country should know to whoth they are indebted
for the cost, which, under any circumstances, must
be large. The treachery of the Peelites to Lord
DERBY re tiered a change of . Ministry inevitable ;
and the truckling of the Peelites to the Radicals
produced a coalition which has not only involved
us in war, but which, by bad financial manage-
ment, has been rendered more expensive than it
might have been. Under .a Conservative Govern-
ment the unfunded debt was comparatively trifling,
and the balance in the exchequer was an ample
provision for all contingencies ; but Peelite skill
has shown us a large surplus revenue upon paper,
while .the country is more in debt than it was be-
fore. It would, perhaps, be the wisest course to
'create a new debt at 'once to restore the balance,
or it may be that borrowing will become compul-
sory when the money market is less able to bear it
than it is at present.
