Parliament. Fltilfi Important Announceme...
demonstrated the necessity for the increased amount of the estimates , and the increased strength of the army . The estimates , he admitted , were very large rbut the augmentation had arisen from the necessity ot raising the army to 143 . 362 men , and 94 , 490 men for Iqdia . These numbers would show an increase of 20 , 000 men . With regard tq the expenses , the increase was mainly owing to the necessity of supplying the army _ with more scientific weapons . The Various statements and propositions of the right hon . gentleman underwent criticism at various hands , amongst whom were Mr . W . Williams , Sir J . Fergcsson , Mr . Horsm ^ , and particularly Sir R . Peel , who , in an amusing speech , burlesqued the Rifle Corps movement . The vote for the men was agreed to ; the vote for jjhe money , . £ 4 , 499 , 000 , was adjourned for further discussion , owing to tte lateness of the hour , A preliminary hostile shot vfas fired into the Ministerial camp by Mr . Du Cane , wlio put on the books notice of motion for the Commercial The opportunity
following Monday relative to the Treaty . however , was believed to be favourable for a pitched battle , and not a mere skirmish of outposts , and therefore Mr . Disraeli suddenly interposed another motion , the ostensible effect of which was to decide the constitutional character of the proceedings which led to the treaty , but really to displace Government should the vote be an adverse one for the Ministry The " wMp" having been used , on both sides , on Monday the rhetorical champions , backed by their supporters , stood face to face , evidently with the determination that it" should be a real and not a sham contest . Mr . Disraeli , who manifestly appeared to conceive that his case and argument were stronger than the event proved , in a grave and emphatic manner contended that the completion of this treaty was against precedent ; the treaty , without going into its merits , he contended , was devised to silence the voice of one branch of the Legislature , and to destroy an important portion of the privileges of the other . He would attribute the circumstance to " inadvertence ; " and , as it could be done without the sacrifice of either honour or dignity , he called npon Government to repair their error . The Chancellor of the ExcHEatJER , in filie of his happiest efforts , seized at once on the salient points of Mr . Disraeli's , arguments , and replied on them -with crushing effect . The precedent set by . Mr . Pitt had been followed iti spirit though not to the letter ; the deviation having arisen from the dissimilarity of circum ^ stances , Mr . Pitt ' s treaty having reference solely to commercial relations with France , the present treaty having , in ' addition , ; reference to commercial relations with all the world . Sir H . Caibns insisted on this point that the Treaty and the Budget must be considered , together , there being propositions in the Budget which could not he understood unless the Treaty was first legitimately before the House . Sir F : Kelly considered that provision ought to have been made in the Treaty for any modifications Parliament might choose to make in any of its articles . Mr . Newdegate considered that the House had been entrapped ; but he believed a few hours' delay would help to set matters right . Mr . Ayrton supported Mr . Disraeli " , arguing that the various interests affected by the treaty had a right to be heard before the House definitively committed itself to the Budget . Mr . Malins , Mr . Fitzgerald , and Mr . Horsman followed on the same side , the latter hon . gentleman declaring that the treaty was framed in a spirit injurious to the true interests of England , and with an amount of secrecy that showed there was something in the whole transaction which would not bear the light . The Attorney-General considered the point raised by Mr . Disraeli was puerile in character . Mr . Bright defended ths Ministry , and challenged the Opposition to come forward boldly and avow the real motive they had for this attack on the treaty and on Government . Lord J . Russell asserted that the ministry had adopted the best and the most constitutional course ppen to them . He agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr . Bright on the subject of this attempt of the Opposition to embarrass- Government . Lord Palmerston considered that the . ostensible object of the right hon . gentleman Mr . Dis « . AEr . i was unconstitutional , and if adopted would furnish a dangerous precedent . He was quite prepared to take the sen 9 e of the House on the issue raised by the . right Iiqii . gentleman and his party motion . The House divided , and . the numbers were 293 to 230 , showing a majority for Government of 03 . So far the political fighting has been in favour of Government ; the majority was larger than anticipated ; hut it must not be interred that the Government or the Budget are quite out of danger , as the assault of Monday can only be regarded as the first of a series , all having the same ultimate purpose . —Tuesday wns memorable for the second . orgsmized assault on the Pnlmcrptonian Cabinet ; of course , through the convenient agency of the Treaty and Budget . Mr . Do Ca ;< i 5 brought forward a resolution , to the effect that ' the House of Commons was not disposed to diminish revenue by doing away with certain duties , nor prepared to disappoint the just expccintipn of ' the country by continuing and increasing the income tax . ' Mr . £ ) u Cank ' s speech ii > support of his motion was well conceived , and cleverly put together . He criticised , the Budget , objected' to principles and details , and concluded by declaring that , in his opinion , the Budget was bused on a onesided and uncalled-for commercial purpose , and , that the treaty was neither a free trade nor a reciprocity treaty . Mr . Gower defended Budget and Treaty . Lord 11 . Montaqub thought the House could never consent to pay ah additional income tax us the price of such a politically-faulty treaty . Mr , » BAXTfca considered that the Budget was the very beat since the time- of Sir R , Pioicl , Mr . DopGsorc believed the treaty was politically wrong , but commercially right . Mr . Liddlu would accept the treaty , as it was the best mean ' s . of conciliating and drawing the bonds of friendship closer with France . Mr . CaossLicv observed that his constituents were perfectly satisfied ¦ with treaty nnd Budget . Mr . Hrnkssey brought in something about Ireland , which constituted , in his eyes , another " grievance . " Mr , Dvvv supported the treaty . Sir S . Noivthootk thought tlie treaty and Budget , Were gold , but even gold might bo bought too dour , and he was afraid that was the present oase . Mr . Ayrton approved generally of Budget and treaty . The debate was adjourned . —The Public Improvements Bill was one of the moat important features of the Wednoaflny discussion . Mr . "Waxtku did not disapprove of the object of Mr . Sjcanby , tho lion . ' member -who iHlrocluccd the measure j " but as tlie Bill wouldionablo magistrates to tax minorities , who might bo opposed to the creation of public parks ,. & c , he could not give it his entire approbation . Mr . ft . Cavis approved the principle of permitting ' the majority to tax the minority , Mr . IIbnlkv considered the Bill
required grave consideration , as it would add to the local rates and stir up strife in parishes . After some further remarks Mt . Slanby agreed to amend his Bill , and" proceed with it in about a fortnight . The Window Cleaning Bill occasioned a good deal of rather sharp debate ; Sir F . Goldsmid objected to the heavy penalty for allowing a ' servant everi to sit on the sill of a . window- vsrhieh the Bill inflicted , Mr . Janes considered some pf the provisions utterly preposterous . Sir H . Berkeley ; hoped the House would not sanction , the second reading of this foolish and vexatious Bill . Mr .. Packet , Sir C . Burrell , Sir G . Pechell were in favour of the Bill , but it was negatived without a divisiony Mr . Mkllor moved the second reading of the Election Petition Act Amendment Bill . Mr . James approved of the Bill , but thought it ought to be referred to a select committee for amendment . Sir G . G . Lewis approved of the suggestion , and so did Sir T \ Kelly .
Mr . Mellor carried the second reading , but the further debate as to sending it before a select committee was by consent postponed to a future day On Thursday , the Earl of Malmesbttry complained of the vandalism ( or worse ) " which has permitted the destruction of many of the noble trees in the New Forest . The Duke of Somerset promised that the matter should be inquired into . The consolidation of the Statute Law proceeds by slow degrees , and the Lord Chancellor moved the second reading of a series of bills to that end . In the Commons a great number of questions upon various subjects ( for the most part of minor importance ) were put to the ministers ; the Budget and Commercial Treaty supplying the text for Mr . Basil Wood on the wine duties , Sir John Paxton oh silk , Major Knox on foreign spirits , and Mr . \\ yld on eating-houses . The important business of the evening was the resumption of the adjourned debate on the Customs Act , which was not closed when we left the House .
