In the II on to of Lords yesterday, The Lord Chancellor laid on the table (some returns showing the result? of the. Augmentation Act. These results, he stated, had boen very satis Lord Leitrim called attention to the conduct of the Irish constabulary In certain cases which he do tailed, and moved for copies of correspondence re xernng to that force and its regulations. Lord Gran ville said it was impossible to answer such a statement aa Lord Leitrim had made with out previous reference to the parties implicated. He (tronzlv deprecated these kinds of attack.

made night after night, on persons regularly ap pointed by the It could not conduce eitner to mo aizmcy oi tne xiouse or gooa oraer and government in Ireland. Some conversation then took place on the terms ol the motion. Lord Granville objected to republish all the rules and regulations of the police force, had no objection to prodnce tbo correspondence relative to the dismissal of Mr. Arcy Irvix. The motion, thus 'modified, was arrreed to, and their lordships adjourned at fire minutes before 7 clock.

In the ilouso of Commons, 3Ir. Scully called attention to the recent exercise of public patronage with reference to the benefices or parishes of Clonpriest, Farrahy, and Carrigro hane, ill the county of Cork aud moved for returns relating' to each of those benefices or parishes. He stated details connected with the several benefices and the persons appointed to them, which prinvX facie, he thought, justified his brLmnii? the subject uuder the notice ot the House aud asking for omcial returns that would elucidate it. Sir R. Peel explained the circumstances of the appointments to the livings in question, and contended that Mr.

Scvlly was uot justified in calling in question the exercise of patronage in either of me cases, iiu nau no oDjucuon to proauce an me returns moved lor, with one exception. After some observations by Sir. Lefroy, Mr. Hadfield, and Mr Vance, the motion, in aa amended form, was agreed to. Air.

Cox moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act 27th and 2dth of ictona, cap. 64, commonly called The Publichouse Closins Act." pointing out the inconveniences and injury occa sioned in certain cases and to certain classes by the operation, of the The object of hit Bill was to remedy the grievance. Sir 6. Grey did not offer any opposition to the introduction of the Bill. He did not deny that some inconveniences might have been felt from the operation of the Act, but they had been magnified upon tne wnoie, it naa oeen very oenencial.

Hadfield and Mr. Atrton made a few re marks, and leave was then given. Sir Fi Kelly moved for leave to bring in a Bill for thejurther amendment of the law of evidence and of the practice in certain courts of justice, lie observed that the Act of 1S31, which rendered parties to a suit competent as witnesses, and which had proved most beneficial, iit the administration of justice, excepted parties in 'cases of adultery, and to' thia execution his Bill was intended to annlv. Ha showod the anomalies arising from the ptvaent stale the law (to which the Judge of the Divorce Court bore testimony), and he proposed to render parties in cases of adultery competent (riot corapulsorily) to give evidence in those cases. The Bill would include other alterations in the law of evidence and in the practice of the courts.

The Soucttor Gknxral, on the part of the Government, offered no opposition to the introduction of the Bill, for which leave was given, after a few observations by Mr. Hadfield and Mr. Scully. Mr. Paull obtained leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the Acts regulating proceedings before justicoa of the peace out of Quarter Seasions in England, and a Bill to facilitate the discharge oi insolvent debtors in certain cases.

Mr. DuatAjr moved for leave to bring ia a BHi The publication of the Income and Expenditure for the year ending on the 31st of December last enables as to predict with some certainty what will bo oar position at the close of the financial year. The account are made up for nine months out of the twelve, and half of the remain; ing three passed away without producing any interruption of bar continued prosperity. 2fo cload is in the heavens, and, though the horizon is not free from threatening symptoms, we may without imprudence hope that a hearty desire for peace may continue to presort as from war. If no untoward event shall happen in the meanwhile, Mr.

Glad stone will be able to meet the House of Commons in April with as good tidings as those hobrought last year. The Parliamentary account of the public income is not drawn np in a very convenient form, inasmuch as it gives as only the gross income for the year No separation is' made between the three: months before Mr. Gladstone' i financial statement and the nine months which succeed it. In order to ascertain the effect of the alterations in our financial system made in April last, we must have recourse to previous Returns, and it is not until after many, tedious operations of addition and subtraction that we discover the truths which the pub lished accounts hide rather than reveal. It may be remembered that after reducing the Sugar Duties, taking a penny oft the Income Tax, and making an alteration in the Fire Insurance Duty, Mr.

Glad stone's estimate of the income of the current year wss and his final estimate of the ex penditure was 67,073,0001. The surplus of 55,0002. was smaller than that which he originally designed, and, indeed, his first balance was much too narrow, considering the extent of our expenditure 'and the chances to which we are always subject. But fortune has favoured the boldness of the of the Exchequer, and it now seems not improbabl that the anticipated surplus of 55,000. will be converted into an actual surplus of at least two millions.

The loss of Revenue in tha year 1SG4 5, arising from the reductions made last April, was estimated at and as compared with the Revenue of 18G3 4 a small additional diminution was anticipated in consequence of reductions made in the previous Budget which did not fully take effect last year. But the gross Revenue in the three: quarters which ended on the 31st of December scarcely shows any falling off in the receipts. The Revenue in the quarter ended on the 30th of June, 1864, was 18,274,200., against 18,490,204. in the corresponding quarter 1863 the Revenue in the quarter ended on the 30th of September was 14,792,4901., against 14,411,504. and the Revenue in the quarter ended on the 31st of December was 18,069,595., against 18,313,166.

The total Revenue in the three quarters from the 1st of April to the end of 1864 was and the total Re renue in the same nine months of 1863 aa no more than 51,219,87 U. The whole loss of Revenue in the nine months eras, therefore, only 83,539.. while the estimated relief to the taxpayers was nearly two millions. The first loss through the reduction of the Sugar Duties' was calculated at but through the increase of consump tion it was hoped that the actual loss in the year would be no more than 1,330,000. How much has actually been lost on these duties we are as yet un able to say, bat the total receipt from the Customs during" the three quarters of the year only fell from to 17,002,000., which would give a diminution of 930,0002, for the whole of the twelve month.

The Property Tax shows a reduction nearly corresponding with the estimate, but all the other sources of the Revenue have proved more produc tive than they were last year. The Excise brought into the Exchequer in the nine months of 1864 the sum of 14,216,000., against the Stamp Returns rose from 6,878,000. to the Assessed Taxes show an increase of and the Post office revenue is 3,095,0001., against 2,845,0001. If the receipts of the current quarter prove equally satisfactory, and we may prudently anticipate so much, seeing that we are recovering from the commercial depression of October and November, the total income of the financial year will be about 70,000,000., and may probably slightly exceed that sum. The expenditure of the year was estimated at and though the New Zealand war has probably, increased the mili tary expenditure, we may hope that the total has been little exceeded.

These figures will show a realized surplus of three millions, and financial reformers are at liberty to add to this any saving which may be effected in the coming twelve months by. a reduction of expenditure. A possible surpjus of three millions will naturally attract a cloud of claimants. JThe tenant (farmers are on the alert, the county members 'support their prayer for a reduction of the Malt Duty, and Mr. Sheridan has placed his annual motion in tho Parliamentary notices, calling on the House of Commons to pledge itself once more to the abolition of the Firq Insuranco Duty.

It must, however, be remembered that a part of the surplus is already given away. The penny taken off the Income Tax last April involves a diminution of next year's in come to the extent of and. the reduction actually made in the duty on fire insurance on stock will create a farther loss of It (may be assumed, therefore, that half a million of 'the apparent surplus is gone, and tho Chancellor of the Exchequer will only have the balance to distribute. Last year Mr. Gladstone looted forward to a further reduction of the Income Tat by a penny, and though it would be unsafe to trust) to his being now of the same opinion, he may still think such an operation Vdesirable.

For some reasons not very easily perceived, he spoke of a fire penny Income Tax as eminently satisfactory. We venture to think, that the propriety of this further reduction ought Dot to be too hastily assumed. A direct tax must always be maintained, if only to preserve the equity of our financial system, and though it would be easy to point to the unequal pressure of the Income 'Tax; its abolition would be productive of still greater injustice. A tax of sixpence in the pound is for many reasons convenient, and a survey of the com parative taxation of the country will perhaps lead to the conclusion that it should be kept at that rate. There are other in our system of direct taxation which afford ample scope for revision.

Among the Assessed Taxes, for instance, there are many items which it would be difficult to defend except on the plea of the direst financial necessity." A tax on hair powder and the magnificent personages who wear it may find some advocates but why the very useful and laborious class which minister io our wants in the production of vegetables and flowers should be placed in the'fonw category would tax even Mr. Gladstone's ingenuity to explain. Then, again, comes the case of Fire Insurances. Mr. Gladstone has always txrosistently opposed the abolition of the Fire Insurance Duty, and in making the small remission at lsrt 'Tearhev strangely chose those cases where the preasureof tha tax was least felt.

The House of Orarnona has twice, and perhaps often er, voted tor tha abolition' frf tltb d. ind wiMrtlvsr the tax or the effect which it has in incrsstti thd cost of iruurMecebe Muidred the vote ia amply justined. If the ol otMt fcalf the doty granted last April in the case of insarszteea on stocks trade be extaytxled to all fire iitsnrmiMxa, tha lo to the fortrnue would be and it is not probable that a ereater reduction will be made, while anyriroposalof a smaller fxxieeMion would bo disrespectfal to the House of Commons. There would, however, remain a large surplus to "be the prize of contending claimants. Mr.

Gladstone announces the intention of the Government to, advise Her Majesty tb appoint sfl Commission to inquire into the exmomical questions connected with the Railway system, into the cost of conveyance upon Railways, and into the charges which are" made by Railway Companies to the public To such an inquiry there can be no objection. Railways were a few years ago only the main arteries of the kingdom in a few years more they will become almost exclusively the channels of intercourse. Every one has an interest in being carried for the price, in the shortest time, with the greatest safety, and with all possible punctuality. Every one looks for proper arrangements for the care of his luggage, for promptness and regularity in the transport of hit goods, and it is impossible to deny that on these points there is some dissatisfaction. English men be habitually grumblers, bat then they choose as the subjects of grumbling matters which" really require amendment.

There is a prevalent conviction that Rail way Companies do not sufficiently consult the interests of the public, and do not (even clearly know their own. "They rnanaze these thinzs better in France" is. as of old, the exclamation of those who suffer at home from nnpunctuality, want of arrangement, and want of care. When Mr. Gladstone tells us that a feeling of great anxiety exists among the productive classes, who, without exactly blaming the Railway (com panies, wish to know whether it possible by any means tb effect a still farther extension of the bene fits which the' country has received, he expresses with accuracy the popular opinion, and gives good reason for appointing a Commission of trust worthy inquirers.

No one will underrate the advantages which have been conferred on the coun try by the genius and energy of radway men. The highest business ability and the most 'eminent or ganizing faculties are now devoted to the service of the Companies. The puhlic is every year pre sented with new faculties for trade and social course through the miraculous results ofjrf jray enterprise. But it is quite consillenSfrith this that there may. be many shortcomings which a general survey of the system by competent perrons would tend to snake good.

We cannot accept the cavalier answer of a former railway potentate, 11 "you do not like whatthe'Companies give you, travel by coach." The public, while magnificently rewarding! the railway enterprise which has done so much for them, have still a right to insist that its very best and latest results shall be everywhere pLtc id si their service. The Companies are be hindhand in thoir duties if they omit to do anything that may be done, anything which has been done elsewhere. Even though the inquiry be strictly limited to economical questions, yet facts and principlea of great importance may be ascertained. There is one branch of this subject which has an interest for everybody. We may not all be acquainted with the mysteries of railway conveyanso or the cost of transporting goods and minerals, but all who have occasion' to travel over the lines of this country must notice the most conspicuous features of Coir passenger traffic its high fares as compared with the French lines, and the strange 'diversities between the charges per mile of different English Companies which are apparently under equal conditions.

To go fifty miles in one direction will not cost more than two thirds of the fare necessary to go fifty miles in another, and for the leas sum you may perhaps be carried in much the shorter time. Then there is the strange favour shown to particular trains, devoted to excursionists or tourists a system under which you may travel a hundred miles along the line for a less' sum than an hour later you can 'travel fifty. Whether it might not be ad vantageous to Companies to imagine all their passengers to be tourists, and to give them the benefits of those low fares which are evidently remunerative, is a question which an impartial tribunal might well examine. Then there is the subject of punctuality, a virtue little cultivated by some of the Companies whose lines meet in London. How far directors' are justified in putting forth a time table which, as regards certain trains, they have no intention of abiding by; how far the ex cuse is valid which is given to any one who arrives three quarters of an hour late in London that the time table only tells the hoar before tcKiek tho triin will not arrive are, matters which, with all respect for the principle of 'railway independence, we should like to see pronounced upon by some other authority than the directors themselves.

If, then, the Government limit itself to an in quiry into the means by which the Railways of the United Kingdom may bo made more efficient in working) and more useful to tho public, by the diminution, of their charges, the proposed Commission may do a good work. The construction, the management, the statistics of tratSc in relation to high and low fares, the facilities offered for the carriage of goods, cattle, minerals, and materials are subjects worthy of examination now that we have thirty years" experience: and yet may be considered as only in the infancy of the railway system. Bat to our mind 'Mr. Gladstone's proposal is satisfactory even more fair what it omits than for what it There a to be an inquiry into the working of Railways under their present management, not into the question whether; Government should substitute itself for the actual proprietors. There has been, undoubtedly, some apprehension that Mr.

Gladstone meditating a financial exploit which should throw into the shade everything that his. prede cessors, everything that he himself, had. To spend. order to constitute the State the chief carrier in tha three kingdoms, tha chief employer of labour, the most extensive engineering, architectural, ironfounding, machine making body in. the world, was suspected by some to be an object of ambition not unknown to the Chan cellos of the Exchequer.

'Bat whatever dreams may have passed through his brain, there were no signs of them in the proposal of! last evening. The Government, we are; told, wui not advise the appointment of any Cornmis 'sion which shall enter npoa any question of policy." This is prudent, for we feel sure that Parliament is not ready to approach so vast, so alarming a subject, as the transfer ta the State of the existing system of Railways, and consequently of the right of constructing aU lines that may here after be required. It is difficult to imagine how the idea of such a change can have found favour with any one who appreciates what the nation has gained by the free trade of the last ye and thirty years. The rapid construction of the present lines, once a bigoted opposition to them ceased to be part of the creed of public men and powerful landowners, bears witness to the fficacy of private fmterpriae. It is not too much to say that tha start we hava obtamtrd cw the Oott tinent in prodactive power by the early completion cfafYtksiiiilYr wihfM for a gHMCation to come, aad extahle toJhjUorf own against tha nost kmerjretio aaa arifJj OTAriivala.
