Jowod tho cloxs of our War, but pressuting in themselves incomparably greater didiculties, Tae Kingdom of Great Britwin omeregd iv 1815 from & war of twonty years' duration with & debt of £4,500,000,0.0, a'kum, it nsed not be said, vantly groater than wonld bo couveved by tha same figures to-day even ona gold vass. Dure ing the war tue fundod deut. bearing 3 per cent iuterest, Liad fallen nearly to 50 per eent of i3 par value, & poiot in which we certainly have nat the advantage, since, notwithstanding Mr. Chaug's cherished delusion that he was relling 1o bonds below par, our 6 per canta did fall be- low 40, the roal differonce being that the profit of the subsequont rise sccrued to foroigners iu- stead of the domeatic fund holder.

Tho budget of 1838 showed deficit oqual to §7,000,- 000; that of 1839 a deflat of $2,000,000; that of 1840, of €7,000,000; that of 1841, of 49,000,000, while thet of 1842 was eatimated to fall short by #12.000,000, inyulving an increaeo of debt of ' $47,000,000 within tiva years; tho niont wlarming symptom waa that the decline of revonus took place in the groat items of cou- toms aund oxcise, au sttempt ta inoroase the re- coipte by raieing the tixos in these branches having actually resuited in a decroase, Busi- nods 1o all brauches was depreused, pauperism incressing, and the peoule despoudent, The vast chauge for the batier since that time 18 mainly dane to the reformas carried by Sir Robers Peel. These wore, first, the levying of an income-tax ; secoud, the repealof the coru-lawa; tlurd, the roduction of the tanff on timber, coffos, and 750 other articles; and fourth. the repeslof tho export duty on British manufac- tures.
