WILLOUGHBY wished to know how the Chan cellor of the Exchequer meant to raise the question of Im posing the income tel on widowed charities. Many important institutions were interested, one of which, demised, would ' have to pay 1,6001. a year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the institution alluded to, if liable to a charge of 1,5001. a year, must have an income of at least 150,0001. or 60,01104, and therefore was very well able to take its &ars bathe burthens of the country. The course he intended to take was to ask for a general resolution that night which would be reported on the following day, and the bill with all its clauses would be in the hands of members on Saturday morning. The made of proceeding would then be seen, and be should be subsequently, in committee, ready to question. Mr. HUBBARD made some remarks upon the finsocial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He objected to the club licenses for the sale of liquors, which be hoped would bs reconsidered. In adverting to the alterations in the income-tax, he spoke approviogly o the IMMO- Eons made to persons with incomes lees than 20W. • year. He then discussed the scheme of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer for the conversion of permenent into terminable annuities, which was, he said, only another form of • sinking fund, now regarded as an utter delusion. After de. daring his conviction of the juatice, propriety, and expe diency of • reduction of the duty on fire insurances, lie strongly objected to that part of the budget which imposed • tax upon charities, by withdrawing au exemption they had hitherto enjoyed, pointing out its effects upon funds ' raised for charitable objects. Mr. MARSH must say that he thought the riOt hoe. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer laboured under very groat difficulty. On the one aide were those who wished to upend money, and on the other those who never wished to spend it. For his own pert he thought hon. members would do far better if on nights of committee of supply they would allow the honed, to go at once into committee instead of bringing forward • number of small motions ell tending to extravagance. The amendment was then withdrawn. • MEMORIAL TO THE PRINCE CONSORT. The house then went into committee of supply. Lord PALMERETON moved • resolution (renting to her Majesty the sum of 50,0001. towards the expense of erecting' ► mutable memorial of the late Prince Consort. The noble lord expisieed that the estimated cost of such • monument mm. 110,0001. ; that pearly 60,0001. had been raised by public subscription; end that the proposed grant of 50,000/. would, he believed, be sufilineut to erect a memorial that would at once be worthy of the country, do honour to the memory of the Prince Consort, and be soothing to the feelings:of the Queen Mr. CONINORAM briefly criticised the proceedings of the royal commissioners, and the plan they had resolved upon adopting, and expressed a hope that they would re consider their decision, with the view of erecting a memorial , of a more useful character. Mr. DISRAELI thought the course which bad been adopted by the government was on the whole well coo sidered and judicious in a matter that was not altogether free from embarrassment. The suggestion of the hoe. member was, in his opinion, a fallacious and narrow-minded one, and, it carried out, would not fulfil the wishes or be in accordance with the sentiments of the country. What was wanted wane monument in the metropolis which would represent as much as possible the character and career of the living man—something choice, direct, and significant. In reply to observations from Mr. Gregory, Mr. Liddell. and Mr. Garnett, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the public subscriptions had been raised upon condition that the style and character of the proposed monument should be left to the decision of the Queen, and the sum he now asked the committee to vote had the same audition attached to It.

EXCHEQUER BONDS. On the motion of Mr. Pm, A sum of 1,000,0001. was granted to her Majesty to pay off and diathesis Exchequer Bonds payable on the Bth of May, DM& The house then resumed. THE SUGAR DUTIES. On the motion that the house go into committee of ways and means, Mr. LINDSAY said he had placed on the paper • notice that be would all attention to the sugar duties, but as he approved generally of the budget, he thould take an oppor tunity of stating his views on the particular subject to which he referred in committee. THE INCOME T.X. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to move "That in the opinion of this house, the tax imposed on precarious incomes should be lower than that imposed on permanent incomes." He said he regarded the budget as being on the whole an ox seedingly satisfacitory one, and one with which the country had reason to be delighted. What he asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to do, wan to carry out a aitwhich had been submitted by • former col leagueof his, the late Mr. J. Wilson, by which be proposed to divide income into three classes ; first, incomes derived from capital; secondly, from capital and knowledge used in trade; sod thirdly, from knowledge aloes applied to professions. He would suppose the case of a lawyer, who had to undergo a tedious education, and live a laborious life : up to the age, perhaps, of 50 he bad to tight against the world for Lie very existence : when he arrived at that age fortune might smile upon him. but sod deoly, just as he wan beginning to reap the fruits of the labours of his life, he was stricken down ; and has children were left unprovided for. That was a painful case, and it was to meet such cases that. be made the pro weal he submitted to the house. The Chancellor of the Exchequer might say that the alteration would do away with has surplus. might be so, but be had such faith in the ingenuity of the right hon, gentleman that he believed he could find a surplus in a much less unjust way than by contiuning the tax at its present unequal rate. He therefore trusted that the right bon. gentleman would do that justice which was in his power, and take one from the many hardships under which the man who derived his pre carious living from the exercise of his ability laboured. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad listened with attention and all respect to the speech of hie hon. and learned friend, who had become the organ of a feeling which had long prevailed in the conotry, which pre vailed now, and would continue to prevail so long as the income tax existed. The feeling to which be alluded was nettles], was excusable, and was supported by so many in dications upon the surface of the subject, that he looked upon it as ioseparable from the existence of the tax. He should say, however, at starting that be was per sonally disabled from acoediug to the motion. It had been his fate to give more attention to the subject of the income tax than perhaps any other mem ber of the house. When be ,it came into the office which he had the honour to hold, it was immediately after • pro al similar to that of the hon. and learned gentleman had been made by his predecessor in office, under peculiar cir cumstances, and with peculiar authority. It therefore be came the duty of the goveremeot to examine the propo sitiou thoroughly, in order to ascertain whether it was safe or practical, and they arrived at the conclusion that it was not. The hon. and loured gentleman proposed to remove two anomalies ; but the affect of his doing so in the manner suggested would be to create three or four, and to leave the whole question in a worse position than before. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had never, if he might use the term, optimised on the subject of the income tax. He had never shut his eyes to the difficulties which attended its collection. It wee difficult to collect because it was a direct tax, and because it was necessarily to some extent, and always must be, an inquisitorial tax. It was also diffi cult of collection because it was—be admitted—an unequal tax. But with all these difficulties the country felt that it was attended—that • tax upon iDCOM• was attended with great advantages. Equality of rating was the principle upon which it was founded. When he said some time ego that the hack suited itself to the burden, he did not mean to imply that the burden ceased to he • burden, but that in matters of taxation usage end tradition were of great p ar l ance . (Ip s o what principle could they sot if they anaodoned that of equality of rating? Some ten year ago au attempt was made to establish the principle that every man should pay in proportion as he could afford, that is to say, so that their ease of circumstances relatively should be the same after they had paid es before. The plan wee NM before • select committee of the house not unfavour able to the principle, but after a clogs examination it was found to be impracticable; nor had it found greater favour with the committee appointed on the motion of the hon. member for Buckingham `Mr. Hubbard). He admitted that the boo. and learned gentleman had touched the weakest point in the tax, and that which appealed most atrougly to all their sympathies. The case of • professional man was different to that of • tradesman. professional men, as a general rule, before they got to the top of the ware were compelled to live up to their income, and sometimes hod even to draw on independent resources before their professional Weenie was sufficient to provide them with the means of subast soca. The difficulty, however, if a resolution were adopted relating to " professional men," would be to define who were professional men. Were bookkeepers, clerk., archi tects, curates, managers of public companies, professional men' If they were not, nothing whatever would he done by such a resolution but to introduce w new anomaly. If it were not extended to the ease of all those whose incomes depended on health and mental faculties, nothing practi cally would be accomplished ; and bore another difficulty started up, for the incomes of the classes he had referred to were not "precarious," nut permanent and increasing. It was quite true that • gentleman with 200001. seyear might say be had • precarious 11100 Me, because the minerals fund under his property might fail in productivenesa. Then could it be said that his property ought to be timed at • less rate than that of a gentian= who *grieul total property mid no minerals under it' possessed that such • system of taxation would be the introduction of • new inequality and the eggravation of all present inequali. ties. He would take a elms of this trading com munity. A bad 1,000/. a-year derived from land, and B the man.. SUM from trade. It might be said that B's income was not permanent, because his trade might be diminished from various causes, aced that A's income was permanent, and therefore that they should icarease the tax upon A's income in order to grant • remission to B. Far if they relieved one part of the com munity they must put an additional weighs on others, and the LOOK a year derived from lewd would have to he taxed more highly in order to relieve the like amount derived from trade. But a man in this country must live according to his place in society—acearding to those social expecta tions which constituted the law to which he and his family must conform ; and be believed that the mall with 1.050/. derived from trade war is three sew out of four in a dif ferent positioa to the man with 1,0001. • year front land, sad that he was not explored to expend so much. upesilda aelckboins friends and badly.

The house having gone into committee of ways and 1210Stia, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed the following resolution with regard to the tea duties That, towards raising the supply granted to her Ma jesty, in lieu of the duties of customs now charged on tea, the following duties of customs shall, on and after the 25th day of April, 1863, until the lat day of August, 1864, be charged thereon un importation into Cheat Britain and Ireland, viz.—Tee, Is. the lb." It was the intention to keep the duty fixed at Is. ; and that the only reason for fixing the limit of the present rate of duty to the let of August, 1864, was to enable the question to be discussed in connexion with the dutiee on sugar. ' The resolution was then pealed. On the next resolution that, towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty, the duties and drawbacks of customs now charged and allowed on the articles undermentioned shall continue to be levied, charged, and allowed, on and after the let day of July, 1863. until theist day of August, 1864, on importation into Great Britain and Ireland, or oo exportation thereof to foreign parts, or on removal thereof to the Isla of Man for consumption therein, or, on deposit thereof in any approved warehouse, upon such terms and subject to such regulations as the commissioners of customs may direct, for delivery therefrom as ships stores only, or for the purpose of sweetening British spirits in bond, •. Sugar, as denominated in the tariff ; molasses ; almonds, paste of ; cherries, dried ; comfits, dry ; confectionery ; ginger, preserved ; Marmalade ; plums, preserved in sugar ; succades, including all fruits and vegetables preserved in suger, not otherwise enumerated, Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Cave, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Ewing, and Kr. Gregaon offered some observations on the present state of the sugar duties. The resolution was ultimately 'greed to. THE INCOME TAX. The next resolution was that relating to the income tax ; on which Sir H. STRACEY was at • loss to conceive why the de duction of 601. should stop at incomes of 2004 The Chan cellor of the Exchequer had told the house that he was the confidential recipient of the sorrows of the taxpayers, and that the greater number of complaints were from people whose incomes were between 1001. and 2001. a year. That was very likely, for in echedules I 1 and E—the only ones respecting which there were en returns—he found there were 2t1.144 persons between those amounts, I whereas all the rest put together were only 111,207. The loin in extending the deduction to the whole of those sche dules would be only 124,613/. He could not say how much such a step would coat the Exchequer, but be hoped that if the right hoe. gentleman could do it without inconvenience he would make the reduction generaL (Hear, hear.) Mr. PULLER asked if farmers would be allowed the deduction ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they would, the peculiar assessment applying to them being only a convenient mode of asetrteining the extent of their in comes. As to the remarks of the bon. baronet, he would give the hour, every information in his power on a future occa sion, and if the bon. gentleman thought 6t he might raise the question; at the same time he thought it most inadvisable to encourage all persons of considerable income, who were a large number altogether, to apply at Somerset-house, to have each some 21. returned to them. It would cost them some 200,0001. or 300.0001. a year. In answer to Mr. Him" The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that charities could not be considered as persons. In fact the argument in favour./ taxing the smaller charities was even stronger than that for taxing the larger ones, because they gave more trouble tothecomnusaioners. Therwere in fact the most expensive public property in the country to manage, end it was only just and fair that they should bear something of the burden. It was not intended to charge the same income in any case twice over ; and it was intended to allow an exemption to every person at present receiving the pro ceedm of a charity, if his income was under 1001. a year. After a short converestion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would accede to the proposition of reporting the resolu tions to the boom. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the bonne mourned. STOCKS CERTIFICATES TO BEARER BILL. . • Thi Lill Was read a second time and ordered to be nom• tnitted on Thunder next.
