REJECTION OF THE BUDJET.-Ihe Ministry
was defeated on Thursday night upon the ques-
ton Of the house tax, which it was generally IN
derstood was to decide the fate OF the budget and
the administration Mr.. Disraeli, the Chancellor
OF the Exeheqner, il speech of nearly three
hours duration. and characterized by more than
usual degree of bitter sarcasm, vindcated his
propositions, contending that during the whole
debate he had heard no arguments which succe s.
fully inpugoed his policy, and urging again upon
the house the necessity of enlarging the basis of
direct taxation Tie speech fills full seven closely
printed columns Of the London Times. The fol-

Look at this question of direct taxation, the
most important question OF the day. 1t is
question which must sooner or later force itself
upon everybody's attention; and see before me
