CRITICAL POSITION OF THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT WHIPS ANXIOUS. MR GOSCHEN ATTACKS SIR V. HARCOURT. !PKB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] London. May- 9. A committee of the House of Commons has passed the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank Bill, which enables the inntitution to pay interest during the tirno of suspension. The proposals for the disestablishment of the Scotch Church have been abandoned owing the pressure of other business. The Government whips are betraying considerable anxiety regarding the division of the Bill to give effect to the Budget proposals, so far as they relate to increase in beer and spirit duties. The Parncllites will vote against the Bill, but the other section of the Irish party will support the measure, despite the strong pressure brought to bear on them by the Irish publicans to vote for the rejection of the proposals. During the discussion on the Budget proposals in the House of Commons, Mr Goscheu attacked Sir V. Harcourt for going to the colonies for precedent in support of graduated taxation. He declared that landed interests in Great Britain had been almost ruined by Australian mutton, and they were now to be wiped out by Australian finance.
