      demonstrated the ' necessity for the increased amonnt of the estimates , and the increased strength of the army . The estimates , he admitted , were very large , but the aug-mentation had arisen from the necessity of raising the army to 143 , 362 men , and 94 , 490 men for India . These numbers would show an increase of 20 , 000 men . With regard to 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 ho ^ . gentleman underwent criticism at various hands , amongst whom were Mr . W . Williams , Sir J . Fergusson , Mr . Horsman * 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 the money , . £ 4 , 499 , 000 , was adjourned for further discussion , owing to the lateness of the hour . A preliminary hostile shot was fired into the Ministerial camp by Mr . Dv ¦ . Came , who put on the books notice of motion for the following Monday relative to the Commercial Treaty , The opportunity , however , was believed to be favourable for a pitched battle , and not a mere sfcirtmSh oToutposts , 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 " whip" having been used on both sides , on Monday the rhetorical champions , backed by their supporters , stood face to face , evidently with : the determination that if should be a real and hot 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 nierits , 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 ; " , 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 Exchequer , in one of his happiest efforts , seized at once on the .. ¦ salient , points of Mr . Disraeli ' s arguments , and replied on them with crushing eiFecV The precedent set by Mr . Pitt had been followed in spirit though not to the letter ; the deviation haying arisen from the dissimilarity of ci . rcumstanceSj Mr . Pitt ' s treaty having reference solely to commercial relations with France , the present treaty having , in addition , reference to commercini relations with all the ' world . Sir H . Cairns insisted on this point that the Treaty and the Fudget must be considered together , there being propositions in the Budget which could not be understood unless the Treaty was first legitimately before the House . Sir ; F . Kell-j- considered that provision ought to have beenmade in the Treaty for any modifications Parliament might choose to make in any of its articles . Mr . Newdegatk considered that the House had been entrapped ; l ) ut he . believed a few hours' delay would help to set matters , right , MivAtbton supported Mr . DiSRAEtrj 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 . UoKSMAN followed on the same side , the latter lion . ' 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 Attornei " - General considered tlie point raised by Mr . Disraeli was puerile in character . Mr . Bright defended the Ministry , and challenged the Opposition to come forward boldly and avow the real motive they had for this attack on the treaty and oh Government . Lord J . Russell asserted that , the ministry had adopted the best and the most constitutional course open to them . He agreed with the sentiments expressed , by Mr . Bright on the subject of this attempt of the Opposition to embarrass Government . Lord Palmkrston considered . that the ostensible object of the right lion , gentleman Mr . Disraeu was unconstitutional , and if adopted would furnish a dangerous precedent . He was qujte prepared < o take the sense of the House on the iss , ue raised by the right hpn . gentleman anil his party motion . The Ijouse divided , and the numbers were 293 to 230 , showing a majority for Government of 03 . So fur the political lighting lias been in favour of Government ; the majority was larger than anticipated ; but , it must not be inferred that the Government or the Budget are quite out of danger , as the assault of Monday can only be regarded as the first of o series , all having the same ultimate purpose . —Tuesday wns memorable for the second organized assault on the f ' almeifrtoninn Cabinet ; of course , . through the convenient agency « . f tho Treaty and Budget . Ivjfr . Du O ' a . nis brought forward a resolution ; to tho effect , that " the House of Commons was not disposed to diminish revenue by doing away with certain duties , nor prepared to disappoint tlio just expectation of the country by continuing and increasing the income tax . ' Mr . Du Canij ' s speecli in support of his motion was well conceived , and cleverly put together . Ho criticised the Budget , objected to principles and details , and concluded by declaring that , in his opinion , the Budget was based on a , one-sided and uncalled-for commercial purpose , and that tho treaty was jueither a free trade » or a reciprocity treaty . Mr . Gowkr defended Budget and / Treaty . Lord H . Montague thought the House could never conaent , to pay an additional income ' tax as the price of such o politically . faulty treaty . Mr . Baxter considered that the Budget was the very best ' since the time of Sir R , I ' wrci ., Mr . DonosoN believed the treaty was politically wrong , bjufc commercially right . Mr . Liddj . j : would accept the treaty , as it was the beat means of ' conciliating and drawing . the bonds of friendship closer with Fnuiee . Mr . CitoasLisv observed that Ills constituents wcro perfectly satisfied "With treaty and Budget . ! Mr . HRN-icasur brought in something about Ireland :, which constituted , in his eyes , another " grievance . " Mr . Dvi ' n-Kupported tho treaty . Sir S . Nortiiootu thought the treuty and litidget were gold , hub even gold might bo bought too dour , and ho was fifruid that was the present case . Mr . Avhtox approved generally of Budget and treaty . Tho debate was adjourned .---The Public Iniproyementa Bill was ono of tho most important features of ilio Wednesday discussion , Mr . Waltiou did not disapprove of tho object of Mr . SWANKY , tho lion , incinbor who introduced tho nionsure ; but as tho Bill would cn ' ablo magibtrutes to tax imiioiitiei ) , who might bo opposed to tho creation of public parks , &C , ho could not give ili Mb entire approbation . Mr , & , Cavic approved tho principle of pomiilting tho majority to tax tho minority . Mr . Hicnms y considered the Bill

      Mr . Mellob carried the second reading , but the further debate as sending it before a select committee was by consent postponed to a future day On Thursday , the Earl of Mauiesbort cdmplained of the vandalism ( or worse ) " which has permitted the destruction of many of the noble trees in the New Forest . The Duke of-SoMERS-ET 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 Treat }' supplying the text for Mr . Basil Wood on the wine duties , Sir John Paxton on silk , Major Knox on foreign spirits , and Mr . Wyld oh 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 . .

      to required grave consideration , as ifc would arid to the local rates and stir up strife in parishes . After some further remarks Mr . 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 eyen to , sit on the . sill of a window which the Bill inflicted . Mr . James considered some of the provisions utterly prepos-r terous . Sir H . Berkeley hoped the House would not sanction the second reading of this foolish ami vexatious Bill . Mr . PackJ ! , Sir C . Burrell , Sir : G . Pechell were itv favour of the Bill , but it was negatived without a division . 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 . C . Lewis approved of the suggestion , and so did Sir F . Kelly .
