Oa the motion that the hous• should go into eoininittee ea this bill, lir HONE said, hating been informed that all the Material objections to this bill coming from Scotland had been ninovid he did ngt intend to oppose any ohstmle to its pro. geese, though he objected, as a general rule, ts a measure castaiaieg ispwarcs of 300 Hausa being mewled with withis 24 hours after it had, in its amended form, been laid upon the table. In answer to a question from Mr. COWAN, The LORD ADVOCATE said it wee not his intention to go as with the Public Health kfteotland) Bill that night. The house then went into committee. Classes 1 to 60 were agreed to almost without as ob. servatiqn. Ciicl:llse 61 being proposed, Mr. COWAN said a misconception prevailed in Scotland respecting the rate of assessment, which it was desirable here to correct. He believed the amusement was not to exceed Is. 6d. in the pound I. any one year, except in CISSII where water was provided, aced Um the assessment was not to ex ceed 2s. in the pound. The LORD ADVOCATE observed that the assessment, where water was sapphed, would be 2s 6d. is the pound. Jle had originally intended that it should he oaly 21., but the 21. 6d. had been pressed upon him by parties, who enrol muted that the 2s. would be insufficient to corer the cost of sepply. This and the remaining classes were then agreed to, with the schededes and sums additional clauses.

RAILWA YS ABANDONMENT BILL. Oa the motion for the house to go into committee on this Mr. SCULLY said it wean measure of great importance, and he wished to offer a few obsereatioiv oa it. It was meant to usable sharsholden to wind up their again where they forbad that their seta could not be carried out advan tageously. The railway commissioners of last year had made corbels statements which had induced him to propose Mae new eltuate in *hat bill. Mr. LABOUCLIERt said it would be more in order to disclaim tae new clauses after the bill bad gone through com mittee. 311: SCULLY said the statement he had to malts bad a 'mural bearing, referring to lien in which capital to the amseat of fifty millions was involved. The railway cow miaslosers, is thesis report of last year, stated that 12,012 miles of railway bad been authorised to be made, of which upwards of 7,000 were yet inemapieted, sad it was certain that 4,1100 miles of this amount never would be completed. It was found that it the powers given to all these campmate were carried out, the menet of farther capital to be called ter would be no less then fifty millions. The object of histamines was to give shareholders a power to vote either for the continuance or abaadonsesst of a line, in which respect the bill was defective at present. It was most important to give greeter totalities to sharebeldies who thought they had bees robbed toe winding up Utak asasetats. The boase then west into committee. On shun 1, Mr. SCULLY proposed the insertion of words defining the description of capital, whether paid-up or nominal, of whisk the shares mosieted. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that this might be dose in the interpretation clause. The clause was agreed to, ea wars clauses 2 to 5. At the end of chase 5, Mr. SCULLY moved the addition of the following wards That ea the Mud' or the directors to call sad 'dairies sosh meet. lag within mats= days after the resdat or the requieitim It WWI he Ireful fee the remesittealea to eel slab meet* themselves at a this sadsee to be esmedltry them or width kiartese days. modes shall be . en by them as aistriald; sad all sash other prieseldtelte shall an may be thermals takes by the revelalllualas as hereto pros Ste.l to be !atm earl doss by the directors or serstary of the company with reference to soh metier. Tee SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought it would be better to introduce some suck proviso at the toot of clause 3. It the hoe. member would withdraw his amendment be would endeavour to trues seek a proviso. It,, SCULLY conseated, and suggested that the expense of calling such meetings should still fill on the direeton, or glee funds of the company. Oa dew 1U being pat, Major BERESFOR.D objected to Om elsaso, *nolo ground that it gate the railwty emarniesiemwmains ply** reversing, on the representation, it may he, el a. )null Gee %ion of the shareholder, the demo:me:whir* had been arrived at et • general nteet;ne of the seelteldtna.

Under the recnnatances in which the claire was introdnoed, be hoped the hon. member world not press his utjeetion. After a few words from Major Benefited, Ur. L tbonehere, , 1 and Mr. Disraeli, The claire was then agreed to. Clam*, up to 27 inclusive wire agreed to with mine verbal astiendraenta. On claw 26 The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said in reply to 'Mr. Cowan, that be had tome doubts whether the machinery of the Scotch courts would permit the sppbettion of the bill to Plettland, bat he would comennotcate with the Lord Advo cate oa the sate% Major MIR SEORD objected to the clams* on the ground that it meted a roe* shareholaer to bring a company under the Windiag-up Att, and in certain resptcts into the Court of Chasesey. The SOLICITOILOENERAL tad that it was to be at the option of the retort. Moyer BERESFUNO said that that wee not distinctly stated is the clause. The 90LICITOMOENERXL said he hal no objection to Introduce words which would leave no doubt ea that point. The words If the court shall th'nk at so to order," were then istroduced, sad the chose. as amended, was agreed to. Cilllllol 29, 30, 31, 31, and 33, with a few supplemental clauses. wren stmovaively awned to without discussion. Mr. SCULLY thee moved the addition *4 the le,l4wing clauses to the hill, without which his thought: it would be quite inoperative: I et notwitheanding anything herein contained it shill be lawful he say ohareholders whore naming appear on the register of share holden of any company, and who dispute the validity of any calls made, or who shall be in arrest of calls or capital in the Company, to 'Remise lu Latoot of an abandonment, or partial abandonnamt, any of the powers or authorities hereby Rived to shareholders, and to vote at any meetings which may be railed under this act for the Ottain ment and in favour of an abandonment, or partial abandonment, of any railway, or portion of any railway, or the dissolution or winding lap of any company; bad this provision shall not enable any ouch shareholder to (aerobe any of the said p , were or autnorL us, or to vote in favour of a continuation of any company, at the prcerution of any of its work., or any portion al Ito lice.

That any requisition tank r thlo act may be signed in one or in mare than one put or implicate originals to the same tenor sad t ffect, and together consututing one requisition" under this act. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the addition of there clauses wi aid render the provisions of the bill moot finnan ; and he was, therefore, of opinion that the committee should not adopt them in the ev. at of tip , hon member's pen verion in urging them, which he hoped he would not, as crest inedrivesienes would he the mutt. (Hear) Alter • few words from Mr. CLAY, . . . Mr. SCULLY consented to wi hdraw the proposed clauses, seeing that the feeling et the house we, no: in favour them. However, he hegced to intim ite that he would re vive them on tl.e bringing up of the bits. The remaining clatters of the hill w.re then rimed to; and the louse resumed, when tha S•euntiea for Advances ( Ireland) Bi:I. ►nd the Fees (C ,art of Cciancirvy) 11.11, were postponed to Monday.

Mr. AOL:ONBY apprcv d of the motion of the bon. member, and aft►r some conversation Mr. M. O'CONNELL withdrew the 'statics.

Ater some remarks from Mr. di:coutt and Mr. F. Faucets, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL sisal that he would alter the clause en aa to makeit plain. Bar W. 80kiERY1 LLE observed that ha hslieve 1 this elanse had been copied vsrostiin from the English 11. Pam Bill. Mr. HAMILTON called the attention or the committee to another 'Daum In 1847 a polling b:lt was passed as to elections for cities and birauabs, and it was Worst advi sabie to provide that the polling at devious should take place not merely on Sundays, but also on Gaud Fiidays sad Christmas days.

Af.er a short di suasion, Mr. SCULLY withdrew his amendment, and the bank was filled op with 51. The blank in the case of bsroughe wet filled up with 31. On the motion that the chute is amended be agreed to, Mr. GROGAN wished for some explanation as to who was to be respomdble for election expenses. Su ipose a case iu whteh a mea was nominated witir.ut hie knowledge or enneent, was he to he held responsible for expenses The ATTORNEY GENERAL explained, that in ease of a genuine nonvnation the nominee would be held responsi ble, is any other cases the person nominating. The clause as amcndi d wan agreed ta. Clauses to 21 inclusive, were agreed to. On clause 22, Major BLACICALL moved the omi.tion of the word• but not se u to divide any barony or half barony," and, alter a brief conversation, the house divided. For the ansendment Against it The clause wu struck out, upon the ucderstanding that Lord Nam upon the bringing up of the recent, woull sub stitute another claws to assimilate the practice in Ireland to that in England. The O'GORMAN MAILON suggested that Miltown Malbay be appointed a polling place for the county if Care. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the principle adopted by the bill wao,—that every quarter sertions town should be a polling place, and he had strictly followed that rule throughout the measure. He, therefore, could not agree to the hon. member's suggestion, as fdiltuvrnldalbay was not a quarter sessions town. The O'GORMAN MAHON said that Clara ought to he de en exceptional case. He had no objection to meet the . gentleman's view so far uto allow the inhabitant' of Ilybricken to poll at Ennis. The O'GORMAN MAHON expressed himself satisfied rids half, merely because he could not get all. The schedule was amended accordingly. Colonel TAYLOR moved that " Kingstows." be an addi tional polling place for the county of Dublin. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON concurrsd in the motion. Kingstown was a very important and populous place, and would ma a quarter sessions town were it not that it was comprised in the city jurisdiction. Alter some conversation Lb? motion was agreed to, and Kingsetwa inserted as a polling place. In reply to a remonstrance from the member for Roecom- hon. mon, akanst the inequality of distances between polling places, Sir G. GREY stated that her Majesty in council in Eng. land, sad the Lord• Lieutenant and council in Ireland, had the power, upon a certain requisition, to appoint new poll ing plasm. Major BERESFORD complained of the inconvenience that would result to the .oten from the proposed pilling places in tlie county of Wicklow, and proposed that the towns of Bray and'Acholl he added. Sir W. SOMERVILLE agreed to the alterations pro. poled. The schedule was then agreed to.

MANNERS mid he thought it would be for the coleunienee of the beau that he should now eta% the course he intended to pusses in reference to this bill. He 'greed with his noble friend (Lord Aohley), who had had the charge of the bill, in thinking that the framework of the message, as proposed by minuters, would be more likely to produce • satishetory result than that which was embraced in the bill as originally in troduced. 11. was therefore prepared, along with the noble lord, to assist the machinery by which the govern aunt proposed to - legislate upon the subject ; but beyond that, his concurrence with his noble friend could not wend, and be should rather propose, on the bringing up of the report, to move that hall pest flee should be substituted fir " which, in point of fact, would make the measure an effective tea hours bill. He eoeiciived that both the honour of that house and the right; of the people were con cerned in passing that bill in en effective shape. (lieu, bear.) Mr. AULIONDY suggested that as there was no objec- tion to the bill going through committee, that -age should be sow taken, and the discussion on the imendernt might be taken on the report. A day's delay would cause great suspense and annoyance sumegst r large body of people. Sir U.

APPOINTMENT OF MEDICAL OFFICERS IN INDIA. Mr. GROGAN moved fora return of the name of all p none appointed, or recommended for appointment, by the President of the Board of Coutrol, to any medical or surgical situation or office in the E it lodise, sines the Ist day of Jemmy, 1132, down to tee present time, specifying the places to which such sppoiatments were lead., the dates thereof, and the salaries and emoluments attached thereto respectively. Sir J. C. 11011110 USE opposed the motion. He could not understand on what ground the hon. g. ntleman had made an invidious selection of the Board of C ntrol. If the bun gentleman could bring forward any case of an impro per appointment let him do so, and he (Sir J. C. Hohhouse) would meet the charge. He could were the on, gentle man that medical Alters were appointed not because they were English, Irish, or Scotch, bet because they were fit to discharge the duties to which they were appointed. (Hear.) Besides, the appointment of medical officers did not rest with the B iard of Control, but with, the E.st Indio Company. A motion of a similar nature bad h en made in an early put of the session, but the house rejected it. Mr. 01100 AN was sorry to see r.e spirit in which the right hon. gentleman met his motion. lie c mid assure the right hon. gentleman that be did not mean to imply the least censure of the mode in which he dint ibuted hie patron age. lle moved for the return at the d. sire of the medical profession in Ireland, who felt that they bad not been fairly treated.__ _ .....-. Lord NAAS said that the medical and surgical school in Ireland a:ood deservedly high in puWic estimation, and the nu Wiens of the maim prote-sion in Ireland lit themselves aggrieved by the mode in which the patr-rage had been die tribut. d. That there was no foundation for such a feeling would be beat shown by aranting the return. Mr. 0. A. ISAMILTON said that if the return was re fused, it would only coutirm the suspici o n entertained by the medical prnfession of Ireland. Major BLACKALL and that if it was a valid ground for refusing a return that it was asked from a particular depart ment of government, very few returns of any kind would be obtained. _ . bir G. CiRBI doubted that there was any er.)und for the inurference of parliament in such a ease as the present.

LONDON VIRIDO/L rum D..—11 ITS. 43. Afterboos. 1.. 470 LONDON, FRIDAY, NAY 10. THE opposition which Sir CHARLES WOOD'S Savings' Banks Bill must inevitably encounter will be the opposition of no political cites or party, but the opposition of the Savings' Banks, on account of the interests of their depositors. Under a fel-e pre tence of giving the taxpayer the benefit of 300,0001., Sir CHARLES WOOD, two months ago, introduced a bill, imposing enormously increased duties upon stamps. Under a false pretence of giving government security to depositors in Savings' Banks, he has row introduced another bill limiting their facilities, im posing on them heavy payments for expenses, reduc ing their rate of interest, and giving himself the petrona4c, in perpetuity, of .580 treasure:Alpe, for which the deposit ors are to be made to pay. What are the Savings Banks intended for ? What are their object aid effect ? Savings Banks, we are told, are eatabli-hed to encourage provident habits among the people, and to afford them a place of security fur the little monies they may be able to nave. Their effects are said to be to foster moral habits • to pre vent dissipation, debauchery, and squander; to offer a small premium to sad trey and prudence; to elevate the tone of societ 7 among the poor ; to create and encours g • independent feeling ; and at the same time, by giving the working popuiataou some sake in the country, to enlist them in the cause of peace and order, and to mike them duly tensible of the advantage of good government. Now, each being the objects and results of Savings B inks, one would naturally think that the lzrger the numb r of depositors the greater the advantage to the nation. Always provided there is safeguard against abuse, the more depositors the better, we should think, for everybody. Are there safeguards against abuse? We reply unhesitatingly that there are plenty. No depositor can put in more than 301. in any oiie year. No depositor can deposit more than 150/. in the whole ; and at 30/. a year it will take five full 'cars to delve it that amount. These restrictions up m tee amount of deposits would be, one would think, almost sufficient safeguards against abuse; but these are tot all. The uveroge rate of interest up m depesi's thee ug'i.out the kingdom is no more than 2/. Ns. 61. per cent, per annum. This rate of interest is infinitely below the average rate which money will low if invested in any other security whatever. What abuse, then, can there be of Savings Banks by de pesiiers who are prohibited from depositing more than 150/. in five years, and who are only afforded interest f ,r their 301. per annum at the rate of 2.1 per cent. ? Ir, thee, the Savings Banks are not o• en to abuse by depositors, and if they afford such grect adven t-igen to the poor and to the motion, why attempt, as the CieeNCELLOR of the Excitecautat is attempting. to put further restrictions and limitations en deposi tors? In future, instead of permitting a man to de poeit 150/, in the whole, Sir C. Wool) proposes to re strict his deposits to 100/. WLy ? Is this the way to encourage those provident habits which it is the et.d and aim of Savings Banks to foster and en gender ? Is it wise to put a restriction upon a ser vant who, in a long course of years, by industry and frugality, has amassed 100'., and lends it to the cation for 21 per cent, per annum ? " Oh, but," says the CHANCF.LLOR of the EXCHEQUER, " I don't intend to prevent him layin.t by ;—by no means. It is very true that when his prMeipal and interest together reach 1041. I tell him that he shad get no further interest on what he has, and shall not be permitted to lay by another farthing in the Savings Bank in future time ; but, re mber, I afford him an opportunity of roe. rereing his 1001. deposit into steel, tied his stock will bear interest, of course, accard•ng to its value." Now upon this we will say, that of all the attempts to raise revenue that have ever come to our knowledge, this attempt ef Sir Cn tithe!: \\"o) to tix the poor, industrioue, thrifty. provident, and hard-worked depositor in a Savings Bank is, l of mull others, the most unprincipled. Why Sir CHARLES Wool) knows, and he has calculated, that by this c noversion of Savings Bank deposits into stock, he will manage to subject the poor man to all the oppressions of the income tax, from which Sir ROBERT PEEL specially exempted him ! In the Income Tax Act there is a clause ex empting Savings Bank capital from contribution to the income tax : but this clause, when examined. will be found not to apply to stock created for the purposes, or in the way proposed by, or under the authority of, Sir CHARLES IVOOO'S bill. Every de positor, therefore, who converts his hardy navel 1001. into Consols will subject himself to be mulcted of income tax. This will go to swell the Exchequer, and to make a fictitious character fur B.r CHARLES WOOD as an able financier. " Oh, but," it may be said, " although it s quite true 'he 3; per cent. will be deducted, yet if the depositor's income is under 150 a year he may get it back again on application." Having some experience in the matter, we happen to know that there is nothing in all the business of public depart ments so difficult and troublesome as to get back a payment from the Commissioners of Income 'Tax: that there is nothing which is more difficult to a skilled solicitor—few things which are less practi cable for an unskilled client. We nahesitatiagly say that to get back the amount deducted in respect of the interest upon 1001. involves labour and expense worth three times the money, if recovered. But the limitation of the amount of deposit is to be accompanied by a reduction of the rate of interest. At present Savings Banks are permitted to pay de positors 3 per cent per annum ; in future they are to be limited to 21. Now this is to be done, as we have already shown, to cover loss sustained by govern. ment an consequence of their me-administration of Savings Banks money in antecedent years. In the name of the depositors we protest against the reduction as totally unnecessary under a proper system of management. Will any one tell us that 3 per cent. is too much to pay the poor, or that it is more than government could make by pro perly managing the fund on their behalf? The money of the middle classes is turned to better account by those who use it for them. How do the great insurance offices—the Equitable, the Law Lite, and others, make the interest they are able to obtain upon their capital? The necessity of employing the entirety of the Savings Banks money in government securities is doubtful in itself. Are there no other modes in which it might be usefully employed ; usefully for depositors, usefully for the na tion, and with an equal amount of secu rity ? We believe there are. But suppose, for the sake of argument, that there are not ; is the nation paying over much for the advan tages these Savings Banks produce' Why the entire amount of interest paid upon all the Savings Banks deposits of the empire dues not exceed a million per annum. It is oat of this million • year that the Chancellor proposes to pay three quarters of a million to hie MO treasurers, their clerks, agents, and inspectors, Sir CHARLES WOOD is to have the patronage, and the poor depositor is to pay the piper. The first deduction in order to meet thisadditional expense is arranged at t per cent. upon the interest at present paid. But it is ob vious that this can only be au instalment. One-fourth per cent. deducted from the present rate of interest will only give somewhere about 75,0001. a year. Thu CIIANCELLOR of the Exc iIEQUER will want ten times as much to pay the responsible officers in whose hands he proposes to place the entire management of all the monies of depositors. Truly, a wise financial ope ration. - The pretence for this measure wo have declared to be a false one. The profession is that the depositor will obtain government security for his money : inasmuch as the state will be responsible for all the defalcations and deficiencies of the new Treasurers. We have already shown that there is nothing whatever in the present bill imposing any such liability upon the state : not a single clause is there touching on the matter. But suppose the state is accountable, will its responsibili'y attach to all deficiencies, or will it be able to throw the losses on the depositors at its VAR sure ? A elate examination of the bill will de mowitrate that it is full of snares and pitfalls for the poor depositor, whilst it bristles with clauses to pro tect the treasurer and the state. Take one example. By clause 7 it is proposed to be enacted that— On the withdrawal or any money a receipt shall ha siren by the party press's' ing Me book. and receiving such mlney, sad such ►eceipt Mail be a sufficient discharge to the trea surer for the sum therein expressed to be received. The Treasurer, therefore, is to be entirely exonerated by a signature to his receipt baok, no matter whether it be the signature of the depositor or of any one else. Why, the responsibility of the government cannot be great under this system. A man gets hold of a Sav ings Bank book, claims the money therein shown to be payable, signs the treasurer's book, and re ceives the cash. The real depositor comes after wards, proves that he has been defrauded, and demands his money. What does the CIIANCY,LLOR of the EXCHEQUER tell him ? Oh, my dear friend," says he, " under clime 7 of my bill for your beiter prottctinn you will find it expressly made lew that the rec. ipt of any person presenting the book and receiving the money shall be a full and sufficient die charge to the Treasurer. Under my bill, therefore, for affording you full and comp'ete security you have no claim." And this the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER calls affording " GOVERNMENT SECURITY !" THE Times, in discussing the advertisement duty, propounds a fiscal principle, very old in prae.tice, bu' which we have never seen asserted as just in print or in theory, before. It is, "that taxes must be messed on those* articles or practices, which rut n cannot well abstain from." This, in other words, is to declare, that taxes must bs impote.d, not on the luxuries, but the necessaries of lite. This is one of the axioms or charers of that political economy, which Ei slish philosophers have invented !or the use and advantage of aristocracy. But in truth, our aristocracy his always found out the prac tice, before it found philosophers to put it in the ahape of syllogisms or axioms. Thus the regular rule with English parliaments and the landed interests which prevailed in them, was to eschew taxes on rent, or on the surplus produce of the land, under the plea that they should be reserved as a vvr-I und, and that the regular in •ome required by government should he supplied from the industry cf the commerciAl and labouring else, asses-e lon the moveah:ce of the one, on the consumption and nece saris s of the other. Fur such a system of taxation there is, or rather there used to be, but one reason, its convenience. The levying of small sums, day by day and hour by hour, front the west marmot the population, was wont to pro d U 2e a large amount without exciting sensible grievance. Thu more indisp enable and the mire universally in use the commodity taxed, the less subject to fluctua tions will be the produce of the tax—another source of convenience ti the government. Accordingly, what finance ministers have most delie.ted in, were taxes on corn and beer and light in our happy land of England, taxes on indispensable utensils in India, on silt in France and else .vbere. Tiii. system of tiling nee stories has, however, lost one of its virtues—that of its b,..ing unperceived and , patiently put up wi . h. In general these taxes on popular incessant s are taxes on wages, and in ep ichs of prosperity and deo and for lab.ur, wages being I enhanced in proportion, such taxes fall on the em ployer. But in a more stationary state, when the demand for wo-k is not brisk, or wilt n it is subject to .3: cope and alter my ion, then taxes on necesoarie s be come t..x• sen warvation. As the be,ly pinches too, in' civilised countries, the intelligence b. crmes sharper. • People come to read, to think, to know. Taxes, however small, are felt, and telt not only individually, Ix: generally. They create com bination, however tacit and ondereood, &ramie. • the tax payers, and their clamour soon be comes what no minister can resist. Hence we • may pea c`ly rely on it, that taxes on corn, upon salt, upon meat, upou the be-verse of the country, will be hand imp %Bible to levy. The Cuascw.tox of the EXCHEQUER may plead what necessity he I pleases, p opular necessil will prove more and more paramount. But although taxes on the necessaries of the mass must b' dispensed with—and the sooner the Cuts- , CF.1.1.0R of the EXCHEQUER makes up his mind to this tha better—the re are other taxis of the kind which may survive, and these are tax-, on the neces- ; miles of &fete. These indeed are more glaringly un- I just than taxes on the many, as they make a particu lar set of men pay for the benefit of the whole nation, fur no earthly reason but because they have pro perty that the tax-gatherer can easily get at, and b.cause the interests 'pellet, d are not numerous or large enough to make government fear their resist ance or disaffection. Ihe texes on the necessaries of I the few are to be found in the various items of the excise. Paper is one of teem. But who in the House of Commons cares fur the paper interest ? The advertisement duty is somewhat of this nature, though classed as a stamp duty. The only pretext fora stamp duty is, however, that of the law affixing a price upon the transfer or descent of property, which it fa cilitates, rezisters, and guarantees. With respect to the advertisement duty, it confers no benefit of the kind; it is merely a tax upon a necessary of industry. The Times says, that air is more necessary, and soap. We appeal to hundred+ of advertisers in its own columns, whether they could not better do without washing or sunshine than not have the facility of making their appeals and getting them answered. Yet this is what hosts of poor people have not. We maintain that in this, our artificial state, publicity is as useful and as necessary an element of our complicated existence as light itself. We cannot, however, at all admit with our coa -1 temporary, that there is any rivalry or comparison between window-tax and advertisement duty. The advertisement duty is as nothing in the budget. The Cwareeemeoa of the Excimiusat dues not retain it for the amount, but because it is a burden upon the popular journal, and a useful monopoly to the aristo cratic press. The retention of the advertisement duty arises from illiberalism and favouritism in the ministry, and from dislike of the popular press by the mock liberals of parliament. We re the tax in question, a bows fide one upon adver tisements, or the making known of wants, it would in truth be the most infamous of taxes, a tax on com mercial publicity, which is an element more precious and more necessary to an Englishman than even a superfluity or purity of light, or of air. We may live in a garret with one window; but if we are out of employ and have no means of making known oar wants, or of learning how our industry may bo made available, we had far better be deprived of both light and air. But if the advertisement duty be a meanness and an iniquity, the window tax is an absurdity. Our creed in the matter of taxation is so very different from that oldie Times, that we should say, first of all, that there should be no tax on necessaries: secondly, that there should be a tax on property in proportion to its magnitude ; and thirdly, that there should he a tax on expenditure in proportion to its luxury. We have an income tax which is not in proportion to property, bat in the inverse proportion to it. Then we have taxes on expenditure, the chief of which is the window tax. But the size of a house, or the windows in it, is no proof of either property or expenditure. It taxes a man because he has a large family, or because his business requires space. It taxes families fur choosing to associate, or the poor fee the crime of letting lodgings. And it is assessed not by the value of the house, or the cubic space within its walls, but according to the light and air admitted into it. All these form such an amalgams- the of absurdity, that it' Chancellors of the Exchequer were not the idlest, and parliamentary financiers the most ignorant, of mankind, it could never have endured to the middle of the nineteenth century. `• SUICIDE AT AN HOTEL—Yesterday it was disco vered that a gentleman, whose name is not known, had hanged himself in the course of the night at the Spread E Tavern, in the High-itreet, Wandownrth.
