It was expected that the financial propositions of the Government would be discussed on Monday ; but on the order for going into Committee of Supply, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that he only intended to move a vote of 2,000,0001. for the payment of Exchequer Bonds. It would not be competent for him to move the resolutions on the Income-tax and the Tea and Sugar duties except in a Committee of Ways and Means ; and a Committee of Ways and Means could not be appointed until a vote had been taken in Committee of Supply. By some accident, the resolutions, instead of being printed as a separate paper, had been confused with the other Votes.

Accepting this explanation, but remarking that the inadvertence had occasioned great inconvenience to the House, Mr. Dmis 4ELI said that it was desirable to discuss the resolutions at an early opportunity ; and he would, if it were agreeable to the House, propose this amendment on the Government resolutions, on the report of the present Committee of Supply " That, in the opinion of this House, it would be expedient, before sanctioning the -financial arrangements for the ensuing year, to adjust the estimated income and expenditure in the manner which shall appear best calculated to secure the country against the rislc of a deficiency in the years 1858-'9 and in 1859-'60, and to provide such a balance of revenue and tharge respectively in the year 1860 as may place it in the power of Perlin

ment at that period, without embarrassment to the revenue, altogether to remit the Income-tax."

Sir GEORGE Lewis intimated that he was ready to discuss the matter at once. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON remarked, that if that course were taken, Mr. Disraeli would'be precluded, on a point of form, from moving his amendment. The Srasorvu said this would be so : no such resolution could be moved in Committee of Supply. Mr. GLADSTONE, approving of the arrangement, said that of course the Navy Estimates would stand over. Sir GEORGE Gnny-L" No; the Navy Estimates will be moved by the First Lord of the Admiralty." Mr. GLADSTONE said, that appeared to lie at the root of the whole matter. He could not consent to go into Committee on the Navy Estimates. Members might fairly demand that the question should be discussed as a whole. "That demand, for my own part and as an individual Member, I make with due respect and humility, but with as much urgency and conviction of duty as I ever made any demand in this House." Lord JOEL'S RUSSELL supported this demand. It would be "very unreasonable" to go into Committee on the Navy Estimates. This settled the question. Lord Pararensrox said—" To save the House trouble, we will adopt the course which the House seems to prefer. We will not go into the Navy Estimates tonight." (Laug)ter.) In Committee of Supply, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER met the point raised by the intended resolution of Mr. Disraeli ; by showing that there would be no deficiency of revenue in 185829 and 1859-'60, but, on the contrary, a surplus. The House, however, showed a decided disinclination to enter on a discussion; and it was ultimately arranged that on Friday, in Committee of Ways and Means, the Chancellor of the Exchequer should move his resolutions, and that then Mr. Disraeli should move his amendment.
