THE CHANCELLOR OF THE ExcHEQUER's FINANCIAL
STATEMENT
The financial statement by the Chancellor OF the
Exchequer is the event Of the week. His budget
was laid before the House of Commons late on Fri
day night, and full report had not come to hama at
Liverpool when the steamer sailed. tits worth mem
tioning, that on Wednesday afternoon very strong
rumors were prevalent in the London Stock Ex-
change OF break up in the ministry, and il was
positively asserted that D.s -e was out. In other
quarters the impression reyAiled that Lord Pal
nerston, Sir James Graham, and Mr.. Gladstone,
were about to join the government; and the reason
assigned for the Chancellors secession WAS that his
budget had too great leaning to free trade. After
some hours the rumor subsised, having depressed
tho funds. but caused no actual decline.
