(Loud cheers ) Mr. BRODRIBB said—Of ell the politic.) question' which can be submitted to the consideration of a people, the meet important to themselves, both directly and indir.ctly, Is that of taxation. It affects them individually and is A. teetively. It is the bads of the whqle social system. Pi ronsl freedom and national greatness, or their contrary. are bowed up with it. The great principles of justice and right are is. volved in it ; and in proportion as these principles influence and govern the whole system, so are the people freemen or slaves. The labour of the peasant, the toil of the artisan, the skill of the mechanic, the profit of the trader, the gala of the merchant, and the [roduce of the spied- ' wires, are immediately and directly dependent upon it; sad se these are fostered or impeded by it, so, indirectly, are affected the remuneration of the learned profersiess, the value of house, railroad, and canal property, end the rental of land. The relative position of all elvers is determined by it. It moulds the character of the people i and gives form to 'their institutions. It makes them epos, newest, generous, and free; or cunning, treacherous, selfish, and debased. Y.iu see as Feu survey them a people actives, energetic, and bold, conscious of their freedom in thought and enterprise ; or inert, hesitating, and doubtful, the effect of 'Cost ems regulations and Excise restrictions, amounting to a ' system of espionage in all their transaction'. The land through its influence is either covered with poor-houses and gaols, or filled with cottages of eciaten.ment, and schools of science or art. In the waters around our shores are hovering the pre ventive service of &marine police, tracking what it has created, the dishonest and murderous smuggler; or on their bosom are horse the free sails of commerce, carrying the industry of an honest and civilized people to *very reuion of the &he. The government is carried on by men of the highest intellect and noblest minds, having in view alone their country's good and her national greatness, or it tisk+ into the patrimony of " family parties" for sett ends, rated by far medians and coveuption. It wi 1 , perhspe, help us to form • more impartial emissive, if we glance at the amount and general beads of expenditure, before we examine the sources whence it is derived. The amount of public expenditure last year was, in round numben, 5900,0004. The general heads are as follows, viz.: Charges of collection £5,000,000 lute rest on debt War expenditure (including Kaffir war) Civil gomenmeat (including the miscall Loons estimates) £59,000,000 The charge, of collection I will diemisa without comment But I may be allowed to ask by whom, and for whom es peciel benefit, that debt was contracted, the interest of which is a millstone around our necks to the weight of 28i million pounds annually ? I think I may venture to assert that it was contracted by a parliament of landowners, for the especial b:nefit and protection of real property, and, as each, is a burden which ought to be borne by lend. The next Item, too, of eighteen millions and a half for war expenditure must aloe be put down to the same account, for it is but very recently we have been again and again told that such is rr gaired to save us from foreign Inv .eion and domestic con fusion and anarchy, in either of which cases property would be the sufferer, but especially landed property. which in the event of a successful inyuion would be confiscated. The expense of civil government then is the only item remaining, amounting to 2,000,0001 , which can fairly be thrown upon the people at large. Now, bearing this in mind, let us tarn to the sources of taxation, and see how these hue. dens are actually borne. The amount raised last year from ordinary sources of revenue was 57,000,000 L, namely:— Crown lands Post-office 2,140,000 lueoms and property tax 6,600,04:10 Load sad assimoscl UM'S 4,600,000 Stamps Customs and excise 37,600,030 £57,000,000 Now, Ibe you to bear in mind that the interest on the debt and the war expenditure, amounting together to 47,000 000 i., are charts essentially for the protection of property, by which I mean flied property, chiefly landed property and the building. upon it. But out of this large ens of 67,000,0001. what amount does lend pay se such ? This is • Tel" prop r cinestiqn for the people to ask, when they remember that It is the landed proprietors who have claimed, and, till very recently, have exorcised the exclusive Junction of legislation. Even at this present mstne-t one very active section of the landownces is putting forward a claim to be considered the supreme interest in the state—that to which all other in tenets ere to give way.

Income and yeeleirty tax is sestet/Med alike by all, more largely, per by the owners of precarious income from trade sad pro oleo, then by these of Seel income from property.

They are imposed on all deeds of whatever kind, on probate of wills, bills of exchange helms' mete ; rteeele, marine and fire iiieurances, licenses and esetileatts, newspaper., medicine, legacies end idea dements. The Customs and Excise do not fur nish taxes on land, though they tax most unmercifully some of its prod nets, seek as bops, bricks, and malt, but these fall on the ocest tzof land, and nehnetely on the consumers of its leo- There is then left but one head of taxation, namely, * , lead sod Alarm d Taxes," the gross amount of which, Iscretber, is four millions and a kale and out of this how area de yes suppose the land contributes ? Why, the my mart sum of 1,160,0001. ; while houses alone are taxed in the shape of window duty in is, for light and air more —half a million ore than all the land n the country put together. Call you not this taking care of themselves, im posing 67.000,0001. taxes on the country, and only coatribute log one fifty-seventh part themselves, and yet themselves spending the whole 67,000,0C01., and spending, too, a very Lerma proportion of it upon themselves? Am I net right in selling it a selfish system ? (" Yes.") But how have they treated you—you who have no land, but only your labour for your in: eritance ? Hove they taxed that? Yes; bat only indirectly. Bat to what amount? Listen. To the amount of thirty-seven millions and a half. How? Through custom-noose and excise-offices. On what ? Om nearly every article of necessity, whether for had, ' shelter, health, or education. Having at eonsidttable length specified the sa-ious articles, and the amount of revenues I yielded by each , together with the several ills resulting Mem amen such tax, the speaker went on to say : The destructive tendencies of this system on industry ere. therefore, apparent. How, but by their iodate by, are th e great messes of the people of this essaay to live? lede.d, it is only by the industry of the mares that any elwe of the community are exempted from the necessity of toil ; for what is rent or intenst capital but a portion of the gains of toil, given up by these who labour to ileae who poems either the land is the capital. The freer, therefore, labour is to work, the amuse security both for tent and interest. (Cheese.) Now, we mrintain that the present system interferes with this freedom of labour, by imposing such requirements on its exercise as are beyond the means of the great bulk of the people ; the consequence of which is, that leers numbers are altogether idle, and fathom a burden en the few who can labour, thereby reducing the fund out of which rent and interest are provided. But idleness is not the only evil of the system. If people are not employed profitably, and for good, they will b e employed unprofitably, and for evil. Strictly speskthg, there can be no such thing as idleness to men, as man. its spirit is ever active. It is the law of Li. me ure. If by its activity it cannot rise to good it will sick to evil ; and bowmen it be expected that the moral part o! man should be otherwise than elected, if not formed, by his outward cir eamstanem and external condition ? If he sees that labour, his only inheritance, is di efroyed by tie artificial laws and meals:dons of his fellow man, placed above him in the scale of society by birth, and perhaps by education, how can we wonder if be refuses his homage to the wisdom of the one or his hearty acquiescence in the requiremenfe of the other ? In eouclusioo, I will only remark, that th is unjust ey-tier bus been eatublieneel and matured by violence to the genius of our cunstitution. Its boasted feature is, that taxatiun and representation go together. We have seen t night, that the possessors of laud have held exclusive row' r in the legislature while this system has been matured, au t I. at they hive spared the we.vee, while they have teatil those who are unrepresented. We know that they have re. fused, and continue to refuse to admit, ties vexed to their lair share in the represeatation, and thus in practice they give the lie to what in theory they extol. We now give teem their choice, and it is, to give every man a vote who in any shops pays a tax, or to exempt from the payment of any tax every man who has no vote. Of the two they ma) take their choice, but they must select either the one or tee other. (I. sad cheers ) Colonel WILLIAMS then came forward, and was warmly received. Ho made a very humorous and Wee. live speech. From the exposures, he mid, which they had ceaid that Light, as welt as those at former eseetiiim, they must be aware of the importance of the Financial Moor= Associntion. (Loud applause.) The meeting s:iould itcolket too, that it had orutinated amongst themselves, the community of Liverpool; but it had extended all over me country, and they ought to be proud of it, and come leeward and support it. (Chem.) The gallant Colonel proceeded —New, gentlemen, you have heard a good dell about taxation new I want to give you an instance, per, haps more than one, of the way in which they dea l with these taxes when they get possession of them. We have First Lards of the Treasury, and hales-dozen smaller meu lords;—we have a Chencellor of the Exchequer, and en immerse phalanx of underlings, whose business it is to receive this money, keep an account of it, nail then give that account to the public. For five end thirty years, teem 1792 to 1826, these valuable offifiels never furnished any account at all. (Lsughter ) They comfortably received title quarter's salaries, but never took accounts into their vulgar consideration ; they left that to men of buoinees. (Laughter.) At length tome honest fellow in the House of Commons called attention to the arrears ; so they set to work, and it took them five yewa to being up threw thirty i five years. (Laughter.) And how do you think they did it ? They meet scielpulously, with the most precise forms of business, brought up year alter year the income mad expen diture, and were so matidious aheut it, that they mei - , every yeses account balance 'o a tanning. (Loud laughter.) Not only s s, but they made a great display of the farthing—that was to let you see and make you believe Vst they had done aoserethins correctly. (Lsughtet.) Well, at the end of thirty-five tear., and those five years nesides, a very shrewd man, of the name of Marshall, thought that hs would orsrhaul those recounts. He went through theta, and found, notwithstanding the feathino, that they had wide bland. rs to the amount of forty-four millions, (Cries of " Hear, hear," and roan of laughter.) Now, I wrote to ' Mfr. Cioulburn not long tyro, to see if he knew aught about it. (Laughter.) Mr. Marshall en:deflate this laborious toile of going through the whole, and by taking some sums from the debtor side, and putting them to the creditor, in one way or another tie c intrived to extricate much of he perplexity ; but at last found that there had been a defaleo eon of twenty.four or twenty five millions. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Now, I want to know how that was? There were actually twentyfour millions of money missing; sod when you consider the hands that it went through, you can readily imagine that some of it would stick. (Laughter and applause.) A very valuable work has been published lately, called ' The Characters of the Stock Exchange," which I would recommend you to read. Talking of frauds, the author, Mr. Fraucis, has proved that, in every loan with which the loan jobbers had been connected with the Chanceller of the Exchequer, to enable the government to carry on their ware, there have been gross frauds. (Hear, hear) 1 mean to fish out some of them, and to make them public. (Loud spplouve.) Col. Williams next ably descanted on the mode in which, under the Hanoverian dynasty, an enercuous national debt had accumulated, and the constitutional dura tion of parliament had been infemous:y . extended to 5 years. (Hear.) He said When the Septennial motion lest session was moved by Mr. Hume, I took the liberty of petitioning the hon. house on that occasion, and let them knew I thought that all that error of 24 millions originated in the Septennial Bill. (Applause.) I do not think it pos4ble that any such monstrous frauds could have been carried for ward, and such an ereasive system of plunder exist under a three years' puliain nt. ("Hear, hear," and applause.) You are all now enlightened on that point-3 , it know that even in a septennial parliament members are very well boo hared just as they are going out of oflice—(laughter)—and if they had two years of bad behaviour and one of good, it would be better than having six years of bad behaviour and one of good. (Lauehter and applause.) The gallant colonel' then expressed great admiration of the Financial Reform Association, and of those conflicted with it. Toe speaker amplified the various topics he had brought before the meeting, and concluded by urging upon them the necessity of supporting the great movement in favour of financial reform. (Cheers ) Mr. BOULT maid he had few words to add after what had been so ably said by Mr. Broadribb, except in the way of application. He agreed with him that no people could I e co,.sidired free who were not free to earn a living in the b.st way they could. He thought that was the foundation of all freedom, and it was idle to talk of liberty until they had mowed it. They had no more right to tie a ma's hands and tell him to labour than to ssal his lips, and invite him to speak forth the thoughts of his mind or the feelings of his heart. He concluded by showing the advantage of unre stricted commerce with nation' as a means of giving lull employment to the labourer, and he hoped the question would shortly be taken up by mom government able to grapple with it. (Cheers.) Mr. J. FINCH then addressed the meeting, showing, more particularly, the necessity for unrestricted trade fa ir la, by which there would be an increased demand, whisk would have the lefrEct of employing a• larger number of workmen, and at higher wages, than they at present °h auled. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting broke up shortly before ten o'clock.—Liverpool Mercury. THE MILITARY INSUBORDINATES AT LOUGH BOROUGH AND NOTTINOHAIL—Yesterday morning MIDOI , General Thorne went to Nottingham, by a special tato from Colonel Lord Cathcart, and inspected a mounted parade of the regiment, and the soldiers having formed into a square, he addressed them at some length, calling to their mines that they had gained considerable military renowa under his command at the battles of Vittoria, Talavera, &e., but he regretted that by their late insubordinate conduct they had tarnished their lamb, although he did not doubt that should occasion require they would again prove themselves valiant and brave soldiers. He informed them that he had received instructions to refuse passes or furloughs to any of the men or damn, itionsatimioced and non•commissioned, until they had retrieceu their good name He further stated that general courts menial would be held over the three prisoners (who were present) for insubordi. nate conduct at Loughborough on Thursday last. He had received further Instructions to remove the regiment from Nottingham to Bhellisld, which town would in future be the place for head-quarters ; end be ordered the regiment to he in readiness to march there on Monday.

In con nezinn with the gratifying fact of its commencement, we regret to see that the mann, yin which it w, s opened crewed very great dimttisfaetion in the anlettbnurhood. and nearly occasioned a riot, whit a, but for the speedy iuterprattion of the police, might have proved of a serious character. It appean that a number of men, belonging to the ore.- tractor, Mr. Derwin who were strangers in the locality, were sent to open the w ork. The labourers about the pace, feel. tog that they ought to be employed on the work near their own homes, felt greatly disappointed at seeing strangers where they considered they ought to be. A great number of them, accordingly. went on the work, and demanded em pb yment, which, on bang refused by Mr. liargan's men, they insisted on obta , nint, and to confirm their determine ' tion, took up some pick-axes and other impleme Ms, which were lying shunt the place, and commenced wurleing. The polies were then sent for, and by their timely interference succeeded in preventim a bream' of the peace, and restoring quitters. After a good deal of remonstrance, the people were reconciled to thrir daappointnient in not procuring employment, on being told by Mr. Dugan's principal agent, that they would he emp:oyed when the works aulit ba more extensively :opened, and when the manner of perfuming railway labour war shown to them by those acquainted with such employment.—Athlone Sentinel.

The Irish landed p:opi ietors are beginning to see the necessity of reducing their rents. As yet meet of those whose names have been figuring in tte news paper., under the heat of "beneficent landlord.," have, as I hive previously observed, limited their abatement* to the rent due for the famine years—the rent, in fact, which the blight upon the produce of the sal had already decreed should be abated—but they are now setting in earnest about the work of real re duction. The tenant farmers of a large district on the north side of Dublin, wero the first to make any collective and organised movement to bring the land lords to a sense of the ul'ered sta'e of things. In the course of last spring they held a meeting a' the village cf Swords, and publiohed their resell'• lions in the newspapers, together with a clear statement of the eireu nuances under which they de manded some fair abatement in the heavy rents exacted from them, Such a movement, when c ductrd with firmness and I erseverance, is always sure, if it hale justice on its side, to be successful; end accordingly we read in the rening Poet of hat night the following very satisfactory announcement : We are happy to have it in our power to announce that the appeal of the Swede tenantry has not been un A correspondent has forwarded a communication, from which we gather the following paticulars i—Jtsbn Bolton Baggy, , hss ma 'e a reduction of Ss. per acre, besides paying all the poor rite and the rate in aid. Colonel Bun bury has made a considerable abatement on 1 iw-priced lands, and given directions to his .gent to make lib , rat remissions o. , and to treat withiad Igence industrious and des, ruing tenants. Coulee EEL., has granted abatements oa lands let at 35e. an acre, h. Motors considered a moderate rent so near Dublin. Mrs. Evdne, of Portrane, whose chari ties to the poor have been so conrant and liberal during the distress, has wade an abatement of 20 per cent. to her tenantry. Charles J. Wade, Egg ' has allowed a reduction of 10s. an acre ca his property, besides the payment of poor rate and the rem.seion of arrears. On the yroperty of Lord Langford, in the vicinity of Swords, the rants of oue class of lands are reduced from 3'2s. to 22g., and of another from titis. to 265. per acre, with • remission of large arrears. S.r Compton Doraville, B.n , has granted an abatement of 25 per cent. to his tenantry in the same lccslity. Patritk Boahan, Bog , has made a reduction of 10s. per acre on his property. The success of the Swords tenant-farmers will give an impetus to the reduction of rent movement throughout the country, and add considerable force to tho efforts of the tenant protection societies, which are springing up in various directions. It is, of course, most earnestly to be hoped that these eyelet:es may limit their operations within strictly legal bounds; but it is most certain that in no other coun try in the world has such an organisation been so necessary as in this landlord-ridden island.

COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.-DCBLTN, THURSDAY. APPLICATION YOB L MANDAIMS LOLISST THZ Commealoinas or Pouct. Mr. O'Callagiati,eirtiii;lioiii.icohOl;srli IP, moved for a mandamus to require Colonel Browne to produce the in formation on which he issue/ a warrant to search the house of Mr. Lawless, at Sandymount, for treasonable or s-dith.ua papers. The learned counsel read the affidavit on which the motion was founded, and which negatived any grounds for the issuing of such a warrant. The Attorney and Solicitor•Oeneral opposed the motion, contending that it was made for ulterior objects, namely, to learn from the information what other 'welcomer, charged along with Mr. Lawless, and not that suggested by his c.un ael, to enable him to bring an action for malicious prosecu tion against the person who swore the information, or against Colonel Browne. Judgment deferred till Saturday.

LER.—.RIORT TO TOLI.B. TITLI OP PLAINTIFFS. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment in this ease, which came before him in January last upon appeals against an order and a decree of Vice-Chancellor lintAht Blue, who by the order refused a new trial of an Weise, and by the decree (made on further directione) dismissed the bill. The hill had been filed by the mu or and corporation of Roches ter, for an accents of tolls for coals:brought up the liver to Lee's-wharf. Oa au issue, directed ley the Visx-Chancellor, verdict was Lund against the claim of the corporation. His lordship said that, by th.t orders appeal, d from, the bill was dismiss,d, without r, rving to the plaintiffs any power to establish their claim. The effect of the dismissal of the bill was, that it operated as a bar against any future suit by the plaintiffs in retard to the same mate r. It became re esesary tor the court, ba swe c ming 'o such a result, to see el, arty that the opinion it had formed against the plaintiffs' right was • correct one. All danger might be avoided by the courts attending to the practice established by former judges of this court in requiring a party to establish his legal title b , foro coming to any opinion on the right. Had the Vice-Chancellor adhered to his first opinion of leaving the plain tiffs to bring an action, no aanger of any mistake in th , s cleft would have arisen. As the ease stood before his lord ship on the notes et the Lord Chart; 1S iron, who presided at the trid, it appeared to him doubtful whether the parties might riot still be able to establish the ir right. His lordship read sever 1 paselges from the C:det summing up, and said he hid so fully entered into the consileration of the matter. not from any doubt of weal ought to be done, but because the evidence addueed, and references by the lets net judge to evidence that was o uitted, but which may he pro duced, showed that it was nut impossible the pkintiffe might yet better their case if an:opportunity were 'Sordid. what he would do, there`ore, was to vary the Vice Chancellor's decree by retaining the plainiffs bill for twelve months, with lib. rty to them to bring in the mean time such ac ion as they may be advised. The matter appeared to him too doubtful to deprive the plaintiffs, by disci sing the bill, of any furt er opportunity of establi.hing their tile. He thought it bett r to have them to their action then to direct a new trial of the issue. The order of dismiss - l wet then rcvere , ...l, the bill to be retained ter a year, and all costs re served. IN Itlt DWI SOMBRE, A LVNATlC.—Puncaesa or RAIL- WAYS.LPAIIISMT OP CALLS. Mr. &then_ rail this was a petition presented by :elrs. Dyce Sombre, the committee of the le Teen of the luratic, raying that certain payments made by her on cal!' on rail way snares, which had been purchased.by the lunatic and the trustees of the marriage settlement before the lunacy, might be repaid to her out or the lunwie's estate. tine had nothing to do w.th the purchase, nor were the trustees tk,blemee, as the investment io railway share s up to the year IS-14 was deemed generally an eagible investment, and productive of more income to the lunatic than an ieverment el a 1:1t1 sum in prvernment or other s • cusitire. The cabs were made afterwards, and tho petitioner paid them es h e r than have the shares forfeited, which would be the consequence of non piyment. It would have been consinly better if she had first obtained the sanction of him lordship, but so continuous were the proceedings Ir fora the court for supergiding the commission, Oat parties were prevented from attending to this matter. The purchase of the shams by the trustees was indireely sanctioned by an order of Lord Chan cellor Lindhurst. It turned out ultimately , o to an un fortunate ins., rtment, but toe questrou for the petitioner was, whether she was to ti fuse to pay the calls, end by re fusal abandon the property altogether, or to advance tho money. The Lord Chancellor—lt was an unfortunate purchase, but being made, au application ought to have been made to the court for a reference to the master, to inqu;re whether it was for the benefit of the lunatic a trate that the calls should be paid. lin lordship atkad if there wtre any mom cells to be made ? Mr. ll their said he believed none, but he would have inquiry made as to that, and an afli Iv it made of the fact to a day or two. The matter was °aired to :it ad over.
