The national debt, which in 1547 did not exceed 140 millions, bas now imereased to 260 millions, which swallow up more than doable the amount of interest, the new loans having been contacted at much higher rates than the vious ones. The most lucrative of the new taxes imposed to meet these heavy drains upon the public treasury is the income tax, and if it was raised to the same stan- dard as in England (six per cent instead of three) would releve governwent trom all embarrass. ment, and enable them to carry out their projects without any difficulty; but such @ we evcounter the most determined opposition on tue part oi tbe landed and moneyed aristocracy; and tar trom there being any chance of doubling the ine me tax, the First ( ber, or House of Lor , declared last session that they ex; it to be abolished altogether, and would refase to vote it after this year.

It must, therefore be dowsly gratitying visit such a dis- trict—in the first place, as aifording an opportunity of be- comipg arquainied with bose men who are among the great sources of wealth, and who furnish elements of national character—who, waile they ere pursuing their own industrial occupations, are raising the country in the scale of nations (near, hear), developing the intelligence and iulelicc: twal faculties of their fellow-countrym promoting their welfare, and iucressing the spkere of their bappi- ness ; and it is also useful that by personal intercourse we ebould become more intimately acquainted than oth- erwise we could be with ‘be feelings, with the wishes, with the wante, and with the optuioas of sach an influen tial bedy of the community.

(Bear, bear.) Fortunately, that great struggle of opiuion which arrayed the people of this country in opposite campe—on tbe one hand those who were fora free and unebackled commercial interest, and on the other those who jancied that they and the country bad an interest in restriction—fortunately that struggic ia over. The truth bas peeves, and pot only by the force ef argument, but by the force of the reeults of experience (dear.) No man who looks at the state of the country as it was when ovr system was restrictive, and compares it wicn the vest Impulee whkh has beeu given to the pro- Cuctive todustry and to the accumulative wealth of the country since that period, can shut bis eyes to the fact that we have embarked in «career of sound jiey—a career which never will be departed ‘as lopg as reason shall rule the policy of this coan- try. (Cbeert.) And, gentlemen, tbat example is more poweriui then argument, apd more powerful thaa di- plomatic persuasion, to induce other countries to tollow tbe course which we have poipted out. Whea tney see how, by freedom of intercourse, the wealth and pros- perity of this country bave increased they cannot but (ink that the uarrow principles upon whisk their policy has heretofore been lounded must be crroneous; aad pation after nation, government after government, are weensibiy faidng into our track.

Gentlemen, the govern ment cer- tainly alwaye felt deeply indebted to those great com- mercial bodies who are kiad enough to impart to us from time to time suggestions for the remedy of existing evils. ‘We know well that po executive government caa be 0 perfectly informed of all detailed operations of commerce asto beable, without such assistance, to devise those measures which may be bert calouiated to set free the industry of the country, and togive the greatest deve- opement to commercial enterprise. We may recollect— \ think it was in the reign of Loais X{V or Louls XV.— thatthe government of the day applied wo persons cn gaged io commerce to know how it could aseis; them. The answer was, ‘ Leave us alcne—don’t govera too much,’”’ (Hear, bear) That doctrine bas, fortcnately, of late years been the basis of commercial leg'siation and administration; but, without governing too mach, and leavirg commerce alone, there still from time to ime may be measures which not only may leave commerce alone, but may asrist it» develovement, aad by that means contribute to the growth of tne wealth and pros: penty of the country.

But adversity, it appears, is without its “sweet uses” for kingly or imperial heads. The elder Bourbons, we WW, “learned nothing and forgot nothing;” and it may be raid of the House of Romanoff that the son, with the benefit of increased experience, is no wiser as a sovereign, if he be any better as a man, than his ‘The ons al imperial futher Nicholas. The atmosphere in which a Russian prince, the heir to a throne, is born, is in truth onvironed illusions, and may in @ great degree be said to be impervions to tra From his earliest youth the heir of the Czar is surrounded by flutter ers, who induce = to bette belay eb a empire, ard its Emperors per utates in ewond. The Russian je, too, he is taught to believe, are mere instruments in his hands for the attainment of universal duminion—an object not merely jegitimate, but laudable, ia the 7 of that God of w' he eonsiders himself the a on earth, Religious feeling is also inseparably inter- woven with the Russian aristocracy; and, as the bead of the Gteek church, a Rassian Emperor deems himself as inlallible, and is, in reality, mach more uncontrolled, than the Pope of Rome. For a prince vo educated, or rather 80 deliberately misinformed, much excuse is to be made; and when his errors are peey personal, they should be not too severely judged. i It is only, however, as the head of the State that may hos to deal with the Emperor of Rassia, and in this capacity we fear it is but two trae that the best sovereign, as a man, feels himself cons:rained, as a sovereign, nolens volens to catry out the per- fidious and wicked policy of Peter, miscalled the Great. The desire and the design of Peer, from the period in whieb he obtained what the lawyers call a locus standi among civiled monarchs, was to eet the Eeropean Powers at varivnee, and thus, in the diepute between any rival nations, to subserve hia raonal, national or dynay ic interests. In this object Peter too of’en suc- ceded; and, by @ successful system of flexibility nd fracd, Insed bis successors inte an imitation of his nefarious example.

From Cathe- rine to Nicholas «ll Russian sovereigns have followed in the mnecrupulous and ambitious spe thd the barbarian Czar, and how successfully they have fol- he treaties of Jassy, Bacharest, Adrianople, »kiar Skelessi too unqnestionabty attest. ‘A check, however, was given tothe of Ruesia by the treaty signed between land and France in 1864, and now that, owing to the flect of that treaty, the schemes of Peter and his sxccessors, for the possession and capture of Constantinople, are thwarted, the tactics of the Russian Cabinet have completely changed.
