Every section of the public is dissatisfied , and the dissatisfaction evidefytjjr grows with iurther examination . The shipping and sugar interests cannot be very grateful for being "fobbed off" with eighteenpenny boons . The largest concession , intended for land , the half of ll malt tax , will benefit neither land nor consu mer . The beer monopoly will keep up the l'Nee to the consumer , will prevent any impulse . ° Induction , and will leave the remitted duty m the perfect of the brewer , for whom it was not "' tended . M * . Gladstone has raised a formidable "Neussion on the -v «» Xe < l question of graduated mtc > H ° f income tax ; and the , metropolis is prel'aruig a vigorous resistance to ilio extension of * house-tax . The course of the Budget , tWe-< m - » < lo « a not promise to be quite smooth . l *»» t the most singular incident is the obstinate ^¦ nusal of L i Derby to recognise any merit in " >« l ? rcc- tratlc policy . In refusing to invite the " lopti on of Mr . Disraeli ' s resolution by the House ! ' ^ ° rds , in resisting its adoption when moved by J () rd Clanricarde or Lord Beaumont , Lord Derby | [ Town Edition . ]
virtually disclaimed the very basis of that Budget by which he undertakes to stand or fall ! He induced the House of Lords to split down the resolution which it did adopt to the most meagre acquiescence in modern legislation . So far Lord Derby places himself in opposition to his Chancellor of the Exchequer , a defection on the part of the Premier which cannot fail to embolden the resistance now rising against Mr . Disraeli ' s Budget . Some important inquiries are instituted in Parliament , pointing , however , to future rather than present results . All the Irish Tenant - Right measures , from Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s to Mr . Napier ' s , have been referred to a select committee ; and although we do not anticipate any vast results from the process , we cannot but trust that the question has at last been fairly put in train for Settlement . Mr . Henley has amended the terms of his committee on Railway Amalgamations , which is now , if not absolutely free , at all events not literally debarred from investigating any part of the subject . Incredible as it may seem , " W . B ., " now confessedly William Beresford , did desire to protect freedom of election in Derby ! It appears that he employed the celebrated Frail for three years , nt . £ 300 a year , and he had sent thje agent to Derby " to prevent personation , kidnapping , ami other illegal acts . " It is true that he would not allow the person whom he sent " to go loose in tire centre of the town—he must be consigned to somebody respectable . " Mr . Beresford afterwards explained , that if the agent were " loose upon society , " he " might be a prey to designing persons . " His agents had been " imprudent , " and now he is the object of a " conspiracy . " A simple man is the whipper-in of the Derby Ministry ; decidedly , Frailty , thy name is Beresford . Amongst the many other subjects which havebeen before Parliament this week has been the increase to various branches of the national forces , which proved to be not different from the anticipatory announcements last week . In proposing these additions , Ministers meet with a prompt concurrence frt > m the Opposition , which shows how deep and general the feeling has become in favour of preparing the country to resist aggression . It is the more satisfactory to observe that hearty feeling , since its practical exercise will , probably , he required . Not only is the development of the forces in France accompanied \> j many sij ^ its oi " an impatience to use them , but the Minister of Marine has convened a special meeting of deputies
from the nautical districts , in order to tell them that England has taken the initiative in arming , and that France must keep up in the race . It is not worth while to notice the barefaced dishonesty of this representation , but it concerns us much to observe how readily our neighbours interpret every response to their own aggressive proceedings into a pretext for new advances , and how assiduously they advance and strengthen their outposts . England has no disposition to run a race in arming , but will not be content until the preparations are announced to be sufficient ; which cannot as yet be the case . The public temper indeed is the very best that can be wished . The mistaken zealots of the peace party , who have now sunk to a proper silence , may begin to learn the extent of their mistake when they note how little of panic the nearer prospect of war produces in the community . On the contrary , the general feeling appears to be one less of alarm than of reviving interest . The two leading ideas at p resent are , that the strengthening of forces or fortresses must be amply sufficient ; and that while the public money will be furnished cheerfully and handsomely for all needful p urposes , it must not be wasted on Admiralty jobs or unproductive routine . The practice of converting the highest offices of the Army into retiring pensions for superannuated veterans , is attracting a public jealousy which may lead to improvement . The difficulty of manning the Navy makes even official people recognise the necessity for reforms to better the condition of the men . Mr . Stafford admits as much , although he is not yet prepared to rival the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company in the efficiency of his naval organization . That Company finds no difficulty in engaging men of the best qualifications , or in keeping them after they are once engaged ; but then the Company devotes a great deal of trouble and money to arranging for the comfort of the men , their provision for after years , and the education of their children . The public attention , however , is alive to these points , and reforms arc likely to be forced upon official people concurrently with the increase of the expenditure . The extraordinary jargon of eulogy on Louis Napoleon , by which the establishment of the French Empire was notified to the House of Lords , gives l-ine to an uneasy reflection , that a statesman who sympathizes ao completely with th « enemies of JKngland , and so little with English feeling , has Home ahnro in the administration of our affairs , and even of our defences .
