    Parliament. On Friday The Preliminary Di...

    from shipwre ks on our coasts . He thought resort should be nau lo breakwaters and other means of reducing the- perils cf our coasts . The Duke of Somerset denied that extravagant expenditure had taken place on harbours of refuge . At present , Government were not prepared either with a new suggestion of their own on the subject , or to adopt the suggestions of others . The ^ Mutiny and Marine Bill passed through committee . The attention of Parliament is to he called , after Easter , by the Duke of Marlborough , to the exclusion of the Bible from Schools and Colleges in India . With reference to the ; War between Spain and Morocco , the Earl of Carnarvon wished to know if Government could give any information on the subject ; whether , in fact , it was likely to terminate , how and when ? Lord Wodehouse believed that overtures for peace had been made , but he could not state precisely what were their conditions . Lord Monteagle brought forward the

    question of Indian Finance , his object being to discountenance any attempt to establish a Government hank with power to issue notes . The T > uke of Argyle said the noble lord ' s financial views were totally opposed to those of Lords Overstone and Grey . The Earl of Eilexborough did not think any great mischief would ensue if Government established a " bank of issue , as no very large amount of paper was likely to be required . In the House of Commons , on Friday , Mr . Bright called attention to a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Norwich , charging on some persons , extensive bribery at the late election . Mr . RoEBTrcK said , to withhold the issuing of the writ for a new election was the proper mode of punishing delinquent voters . Mr . Bouvkrik did not see how ' the writ could be refused , the House having already agreed to issue another writ under circumstances analogous to those which had unseated Lord Bury . Sir G . Grey thought a penal suspension of the writ would effect

    good . Mr . Bentixck denied that there was any unwillingness , as asserted by- Mr . Bright , on the part of that House to follow up » a case of detected bribery . Mr . Duncombe did not think there was sufficient ground to warrant the House in -withholding the writ . After some further discussion , the motion for the writ was assented to . A good deal of miscellaneous business was despatched , principally , however , in the form of . questions .- ' The replies will be a sufficient indication of the substance of the queries . Lord [ J-. Russexl , with reference to the Mission to China , said 3 Jr . Bruce would not be recalled . Lord Elgin would be sent out as pacificator , and-would Only remain as long as his services , were required . The cost of this extra mission could not be correctly estimated ; With reference to the Spanish question , the Spanish Government had at the outset asserted there was no intention to make permanent occupation of Morocco territory .: The war was not vet ended , therefore the Spaniards

    could not be expected to vacate the territory they had conquered . He had no doubt , when peace was proclaimed , thatthe Spanish Government would adhere to their promise . The third question had reference to a memoir and map denning the boundaries of Savoy and Nice . The meinoir was in the printer's hands , and an outline of the map was being : prepared . Both would speedily be laid ; before the House . The fourth question related to private correspondence with Lord Cowley on the subject of the annexation of Savoy , with a request for its production . He must decline to produce ; private correspondence ; and with reference to the intentions of the Emperor in respect to Savoy and Nice , they were set forth in the c 6 rresp 6 ridence and despatches already produced .. The que ' stion was yet ; a matter of . negotiation , Switzerland having made an appeal to Great Britain , which appeal would be laid before the other great powers of Europe . Mr . Disraeli could not deny that a demand for the proand must be

    duction of private correspondisnee was improper ^ resisted . But when private despatches of importance were received , and those despatches referred to in public despatches , he thought that proper extracts from those private despatches ought to be . filed in the Foreign Office for reference ; Viscount Palmerstqn , after setting Mr . Disraeli Sight on the subject of the functions of a Congress , went on to say that private communications to Ministers could not be produced without' great inconvenience and mischief to public business and foreign negotiations . All that ought to have been- produced on the subject of Savoy and Nice had been presented to that House . Mr . Horsman regretted that the subject of the annexation of Savoy had been so often postponed j f 6 r had fin expression of British Opinion been elicited beforehand , it might have operated on the mind of tne French Emperor . After a few words from Mr . B . Cochrane , who asserted that nine-tenths of the population of

    Savoy were opposed to annexation , the Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that the construction put by Her Majesty ' s Government on the declaration of . t . he French Emperor with regard to Savoy , was that the Emperor would do something very different to what he had ¦ done . With , respect to the discussion on Savoy he would remind the House there had been several discussions , in which very strong language had been used , which might possibly have produced a detrimental effect on the feelings of a neighbouring country * Mr , Roebuck would ever afterwards hold any declaration coming from the French Emperor very cheap . Mr . Milnbs hoped a consultation of , the Great Powers would take place of the subject , by the nentrality of the provinces on the Swiss frontier . Mr . Kin glare protested , against the doctrine , that they were to adapt their language to suit the ( sensibilities of the French people or the French Emperor . Mr . D , Griffith wished , to conciliate France , and draw closer the connection between the two countries . Some remarkable statements relative to frauds in the collection of the

    Income Tax having been made by Mr . Ayrton , the Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was his intention to introduce a Bill , to plane the collection of tlie tax more under the direct control of Government . The question of the Imposition of an income tax of lOd . in the pound was then brought on . Lord Graham objected to the increase , and considered that it was putting a delusion on the public to hold out hppes that tho income tax would only be temporary , Mr . Martin considered the proposition of Government remarkable under existing circumstances . Mr . JARftBTT couW not see how the enormous expenditure could lje defrayed without this addition . Sir C . Napikr said there could bo up prospect of any reduction of expenditure so long as the Emperor of tlie French went on building war ships . Ho had no doubt the French Emperor meant mischief , and we must therefore be prepared to meet It with a powerful fleet . With respect to the Chinese war , it was absurd to suppose that the expense would be defrayed by the vole of j £ 9 OQ , O 0 Q . Sir S . Nortiicqtk looked with suspicion on the war estimates . He 'was

    satisfied they would be foiind vastly insufficient . "With . reference to the new Parliament under the new Reform Bill , he was afraid that the new House , from its composition , would not be for reducing expenditure , but for throwing the burthen on the upper classes . Sir M . Peto said , his constituents did not so much object to the tax as to the mode in which it was levied . He looked at the Budget as a whole , and would therefore vote for the increased income tax with sincere pleasure . Sir H . Willoughby moved , by way of amendment , that the income tax be 9 d . instead of lOd . He objected flinging away one and a half million paper duty in order to impose further income tax burthens . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the House had decided on the abolition of the paper duty , and the gap in the revenue from that and other sources must be filled up . With respect to income and property , he did not object to state that he was favourable to some mitigation of the admitted inequality of

    assessment . Mr . Vansittart : had relied on the abolition of the income tax , according to promise , but . in common with the whole people of England , was disappointed . Sir F . Baring thought the income tax the worst tax that could be imposed on any nation . The Committee divided , and the amendment was lost by 187 to 132 . Further progress was made with the Budget ; and the House terminated a long sitting at nearly two o ' clock . Another of those irregular discussions which of late have been so common , arose through Mr . Horsman' complaining of want of information relative to the Morocco business , the Chinese expedition , and the Savoy question . After venting many caustic remarks on all of those subjects , the hon . member concluded by stating that , in his opinion , the Emperor of the French had deceived the Government and the peOple qf this country , and that Parliament ought not to abstain from pronouncing a strong opinion on the duplicity which had been throughout practised by the French

    Emperor . Lord J . Russell , who evidently felt the gravity of the situation , declared he had no wish to stifle discussion , aiid in reference to the Savoy question , he could not deny th ' at the Emperor ' s acts had belied his professions . The annexation of Savoy must be . regarded as an accomplished fact , as none of the great European powers appeared inclined to move energetically in the matter ; but with regard to the threatened attack on the independence of Switzerland ,, that was ah affair which touched the peace of Europe nearly , and must be strictly canvassed by the guaranteeing powers of ' . Europe , The noble Lord , wifh . great dignity , which had an impressive effect on the House , concluded by saying that the annexation of Savoy with France would lead to other demands , by France , and would incease the distrust of the othergreat Powers ; and though wishing to live on the most friendly terms with France , if-vould he necessary to state . broadly and firmlv that no tranquillity could be expected in Europe while doubts

    existed of the French Emperor ' s intentions with respect to attacking this or that country , and that it would therefore be necessary for a union of the other Powers * for the purpose of preserving the rights and boundaries of nations . Lord J . Maxneiis was entirely satisfied with the concluding remarks of Lord J . Russell . Mr . Bright considered we had nothing to do with the Savoy question , and he would interfere in no continental question , except those in which the honour of the country was concerned . He preferred entire isolation to perpetual intermeddling in theaffairs of other nations .: Lord C . Ha . mii . ton emphatically protested against the narrow and selfish , doctrines enunciated by Mr . Brigmt . Mr , Kingiake also condemned the principles Mr . Brighe , and approved of the declaration just made by Lord J . Russell . The subject then dropped ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer proceeded to push forward his Budget , The wine licensing question then came on , and was

    elucidated by Mr . Gladstone , but with no result , as the debate was adjourned till Monday . On Tuesday , Mr . Kinglake said Lord J . Russell's declaration the previous evening induced him to withdraw the motion on Savoy , of which he liad given ¦ repeated notice . The squabble about the Dover Packet Contract , occupied nearly the whole of the sitting , and was brought to a termination by the House deciding , on a division , by 162 to 117 that tlve ^ contract ought not ( to be carried out . The Church Rates question , when called on , induced Mr . Packe to state that he did not intend to trouble the House to divide on his amendment that the Bill bo read that day six : months . Mr . NewdegatEj , however , refused to allow the division to be shelved / and accordingly moved that the House should

    consider in committee the expediency of providing some substitute for Church Fates . The . amendment was seconded by Mr . Cross . Mr . Horsman said the question of Church Rates' abolition had been fully exhausted ; he " would only therefore say that the settlement ought to come from Governmental , and not from private legislation . Sir J , Trblawn y was prepared to give a candid consideration to any reasonable suggestion for the final settlement of the question . After a few words for the amendment from Mr . Henley and Mr . Phillips , and against by Lord Hbnlev , Sir M . Pbto declared that nothinj would , ' satiafy the dissenters but unconditional repeal . Mr , Wattinoton objected to the reqenl of Church Rates without an equivalent , but he could not support the amendment . Mr . EVans wished the Question equitably settled . Lord John Mannebi . aaid , the obstacle to

    a fair settlement was the Bill of the hon . member for Tavistoek . If tne Bill passed in that House it would meet its deserved fate in tho other House . After a few desultory remarks , Mr . Walte r said he was satisfied there were only two modes of properly dealing with the question : one was to repeal the decision of the Lords in tlie Braintree Case , the other to aboljsh Church Rates altogether , After a few strong remarks from Admiral Valoot in favour of Jhe Established Church and its usage , the House divided , and the amendment ; waa lost by 222 to 49 . Tho Bill then went into Committee . Sir G . Crev proposed three clauses , the effect of which was to charge rent on appropriated pews , tho money to Do applied to tho repair of tho fabric of tho Church . The first clause having been negatived , the two others were withdrawn . Supply questions then occupied the rest of the sitting . '
