The budget was rejected by » majority of nineteen. The ministry were about to tender Bhoir resignation. The future cabinet would be a eoalition one, with, probably, the Marquis of Lans- downe as Premier, Lord Jobn Russell as Seoresary of the Home Department, and the Esrl of Aberdeen as Seoretary of Foreign Aiuirs.

But ontil the startling inrqualities which | existed in the presemt system of indirect taxation, and which pressed upon the poorer classes, ware rectified, the direct taxation, from which those classes were now free, ought not to be extended to them.
