Tat sontromery between the advocates of direct gad isdinet taxadea seems still to be in that pre liminary stage of egad) all political sad social ova troversies, in whisk innumerable merits are 'snorted as each side, sad ne advantages whatever are ad mitted to exist it the other. It is like the old dispute it to which is best—an °map or an oyster. The pun gens of each go on declaiming vehemently without making the least program towards conviction, 'until at last the old man is the corner intsrponse with the simple but conclusive suggestion that both are very geed things in their way, and had better be taken separately, and one after the other. The Clugacellon of the Exchequer, whom ger governing dame from time to time appoint to do thee sums in mama arithmetic for them, understand go well the leaning of their masters on the subject, that, whether they happen to be Whig or Tory, they always OntriTO tO lay five-sixth' of the public burdens upon ladivids•l expenditure, in exoneration of property income. There are undoubtedly. great Wage manta to a government to take this mode of premed ing. The vut total being broken up into a multitasks of items, and the aggregate weight being diffused over every day and hoar of the year, is more quietly endured by the community than if it were gathered together Into • lamp sum, and paid on a given day. Tax-paying is, after all, one form of human suffering; but pain, as we all know, is comparatively easy to hear who' it but slightly affects every part in taro, and is felt intermittently ; concentrated on • single spot, the same amount of misery would be a far more serious, a far more irritating, and ooneepiently • far more perilous matter. There is, beside., the old argument of which Mr. PIT! was wont to make abundant me, tamely, that by taxing all conosivabla comforts as d luxuries (and some of them ad colorise) everyman wee made to contribute according to what he sajoyed: if he had but a few comforts, he paid the tax-gatberer little ; if his indulgences multi plied sad his gratifications were many, he paid the tax-gatherer much. All were forced to contribute something for tea or for malt, tobacco, or sugar ; but in proportion as wealth and refinement extended the number of caprices and purchase., the State pat i• its claim for &share of the outlay, whether it was epics or lam, sporting dogs or signet rings, lapis lazuli or playing cards. In theory, nothing could be more fair or just; and practically nothing could be more convenient, for the collection of these mani fold duties needed • civil army of clerks and COW mialioners. which thus afforded an inexhaamtible field of influence and patronage. On the other hand, there have always been many and ardent friends of the simpler and more economical mode of providing the ways and means required for national wants. Direct taxation has had many an eloquent epeeek made in its praise, and many a goodly volume written in its honour. As matter of logic it has never been hard to prove that, if honestly imposed, it was more economical in every point of view, sad in many reepecta men jest. The friends of re trenehasat have at all these urged' its adoption, bo ngoes it is deer that so )Minister will ever be able to raise it math money within the year by • direct tax upon property as he am by indirect means upon expenditure. This is an argument which defies Mutate.' ; indeed refutation is never attempted. Equity aging aid clear is the recoremadatios which direct imposts parses in the eyes of all who , dislike or dread the extession of patronage. Is our grandfathers' time it wee straggled against under the ease of the power of the Crown, which popular repressatativee in Parliament and wet*, in the press declared " had increased, wee lnereasing, "and aught to be diminished." In ear days people no looser think of royalty in asamexims with abase, but with good reason assert that the power and pay at an aristaratie berenseracy has melba apes% actin and seek to be reduced. lie way saki possibly berdniesel lamaseries sash Muslim errs effectually than by isseseas What euntlen, and compelling our =deal limensiam as rely aerie en taus imposed as !many. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, UK Tbs Financial Reformers of Liverpool have arrived at the logical conviction that the last-nsmsd 'nod* of raising the revenue is not only right in itself. but ii so wholesome and good that no other ought to be any longer endured. It is their oyster, which they ant not content merely to recommend for its intrinuc excehecee, bat which they are resolved to force down the throat of everybody upon all occa sions, to the exclusion of less saline and nutritious 'mode. As for the many coloured oranges in the shop over the way, with their various degrees o squeezability and different kinds of juice, they are one and all onto them as an abomination, and they have vowed unto each other never to rest con tent until the said shop is absolutely and for ever shut up, and its insidious contents banished for eve r from the sight of men. Mr. BRIGHT being asked to take tea with the Financial Reformers, and having to make a speech certain to be reported in the news papers on the occasion, seems to have bethought kiln how be might please his somewhat intolerant hearer,, and at the same time say what would not be unpopular sat of doors. Direct taxation—yes, he is decidedly in its favour as an antidote to the present system, which throws the great bulk of the harden upon the industrious classes, as we have take. recent occasion to show. But the Member for Binnieghem knows very well that I. a mixed com munity like oars any one principle pushed to its utmost comequences, without any coffee eve or counteracting impulse, is sure to provoke an amount of resistance fatal to its fair operation. Capital and labour, property and industry, are the two wheels on which our national greatness rens; and were it possible to contrive a system which would place all the weight open one sad naught on the other, Mr. Batoirr knows well that et the first sharp tura the whole comma would aw ake. What every wise and honest man wishes to ass is a fair adjurtmeet of hardens, a fair balancing of interests. Mr. Daiwa very truly and properly says that an Income Tax deserves not to be retained under any system. It is in fact an element of mere con inisa in the calculation between the two great sommes of national revenue, for it charges alike the meats of labour and the annual yield of mosey or had—things which have in them nothing is common bat their liability to be preyed upon by the flea "alter*. A tax upon property is intelligible, sad a tax upon expenditure is intelligible, and both, Ia ear 'judgment, are necessary and just, so there maid be a reesassable equipoise established betwee• them; bat aa indiscriminate tax on the fleeting and eased Messrs of the artist, the lawyer, the skilled Mime, sad the Duke, or the millionaire, is theoretically little better than legalised plunder, and practleally the meet unjust and unequal combination of all the worst features of the direct and indirect systems. Mr. BRIGHT had a Bill to reform. Parliament this time last year, and this year be has brought forth • Budget. He would hold Mr. GLAMOR/I to his word, and make him abandon the booms Met in IMO. He would likewise abolish the defies on sugar and tea, and with them the customs now charged on four hundred and thirty► able subordinate articles of general sionsumptiew s making in all an amount of remission equal le 27,000,0001. To meet the deficiency so created, ba world impose a tax of eight shillings per cent. apes all realised property, whereby he would riles, as calculates, 44,000,0001.; and the difference wadi be made up is the out of collection saved, and the increased profit of other taxes. A man who had bought or built a home worth five hundred pomade would thus pay annually forty shillings to the Nip pon of the State ; but he would pay no longer may breakfast tax, or looms, tax, or tax to the form et soltemsed pries on the various items that to a greater se ism extant ease tato the most frugal expenditure. The benefit to trade sad industry front every change that is made in this direction must indeed be gnat, and whomever a more popular spirit is infested late Parliament, we may hope to see a gradual prelims made towards the attainment of the equitable balance Mr. BRIGHT demands. But we fear that kis Budget, like his Reform Bill, is more likely to meet with cheers in popular assemblages than to obtain support in the shape of rotes in • tax-makiag and tax-eating House of Commons.

The Bourse has been extremely animated.

Large purchases were made in the Rents on the strength of the dividend which will be payable on Wednesday. Them is a strong impression that the first quotations, ex div., will sot be much under 70fr. A report was spread that answers have already been received from several cabinets to the letters of invitation to the congress, sad that the Mositeur will shortly announce January 5 as the day of meet ing. The statement, positively made by the lisdeperidance Beige, that Lord Palmerston will be the first plenipotentiary for England, was very favourably received.

We have received from the Prince de loinville the following note, which we have much pleasure in publishing at his request: (TRANSLATION.) Claremont, December 2, 1869. - -- . SlR,—Your number of to-day contains an extract from a speech delivered • few days Moos by Mr. Roebuck, in which I am so clearly alluded to that I feel obliged to reply to it. Mr. Roebuck's assertion is entirely devoid of fain datioa. I have not made any plan of the coasts of England ; I have not drawn up any scheme of attack against this country; and lutly, need I say that I have not sent anything to the French ministry p I may add that, although I still consider myself a "child of France," I should be the last to wish that " the principles " which now rale her should "pus serum the Channel."

We could do it per. haps better than continental stens, but It would at lest bring us to their indescribable financial position.
