W. Munektou, Eq., at the Railway Hotel Tap, Taunton, oo the body of a youth, 17 years of age, named Walter Bur gess, who met with his death by being run over by a down train from Bristol on Saturday evening. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the de. ceased, who was rather deaf, had gone from Creech St. Michael to the Dureton station for a parcel. Ansell, the driver of the train in question, after paving the I}urston station about a quarter of a mile, met so up goods train the driver of which was waving his band as a caution signal. Atwell then raw the deceased near the line, on the left hand side. He sounded the whistle to warn him of his danger; but instead of heeling it he ran directly on to the line, and the train, which was going at the rate of forty miles an hour, was instantly upon him, and he was struck down by the buffer plank. Angell sounded the break-whistle, reversed the engine, stopped, locked the train. jumped off, and found the deceased in the hedge. A medical man, who happened to he in the train, pronounced me to be extinct. Deceased had been struck in the face. He was aline young man, and much respected. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci• dental death." . _ Mmamo Sores.—For a considerable time the most painful anxiety has prevailed respecting numerous vessels outward and homeward bound, no tidings whatever having been heard of them from the time of their sailing. During the last few days these ships have been posted at Lloyds, the committee for managing the affairs having no hope of their ever being again heard of. All the parti culars known of the respective ships may he briefly told. The ship Queensland, 993 tons register, chartered by Messes. Lidgetts and Co., beakers, riled from Calcutta for the Mauritius on the let of January, nothing known of her since. She wee a Quebec built vessel of 1809, clamed in Lloyd's register as A 1 for 7 years. The City of Boston sailed from New York on the 27th of January ; for Queens. town and not since been heard of. The °Marius, New York and London Liner, 1,000 tom register, left New York, on the Ist February ; not since heard of. The ship Strathlieldsaye, GOO tons register, also from New York to the Clyde, sailed on the 21st of January, nothing !Reim of bee since. The ship Wenotiab, Captain Ingrain, left New York for the Clyde on the name day ; not since heard of ; and the ship Colonist from Taganrog. .... 100 k et.etl - 0 3t I, . es } CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL --- Furl GRANVILLE, in moving the second reading of this bill, mid —My lords, 1 rue to move the second reading of this important bill, the successor of that one which was moved lest year under circumstances of a somewhat diffe rent character. At that time an amendment was moved by • noble lord, whose former connexion with the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, sa well as his present con nexion with the Treasury, gave great weight to any nestiou of his on • bill like the present. On that occasion your lordships' house was crowded and great excitement prevailed, and therefore I felt it to be necessary, even at the risk of seeming tedious to your lordships, to go at length into all the details of the bill, to meet by antitipatiou every objection which I thought it probable might be made, sod to make every appeal that I humbly could to your lord ships to take that course which I thought most expedient and prudent with respect to so important a bill. And I cannot help believing that the arguments I then used must have had some effect, for we find ourselves this year met to dismiss the same bill order somewhat different circum stances. Until this morning no notice whatever was gives of any motion adverse to the bill. A statement, if I might be allowed to mention it, has been made in another place to the effect that it was not likely any opposition would is this house be offered to the bill, and if I am not mistaken the noble earl the leader of the party opposite statol at a City entertainment that it was not his intention, should the bill pass the Commons, to offer it say fur ther opposition in this house. For these reaso n s I do uot now, certainly, anticipate the rejection of the bill. A noble duke hao, it is true, given notice of rejection, but I can hardly believe him to be serious in so suddenly adopting what your lordships must feel would be • most serious step for this house to take, thus placing yourself in opposition to the other house of parliament, and on grounds which, until I hear them again stated and strengthened, I ceu hardly believe to be tenable. The notice of the noble duke has already excited great alarm amongst the mercan tile community, but I cannot believe that alarm to be well founded. lam rather inclined to assume that the noble duke put his notice on the paper merely for the purpose of giving spirit to the debate, or possibly with • view of showing that his confidence was pot quite unlimited in the noble earl who is generally considered to be the leader of the party. The noble duke, perhaps, wishes to show that he can take his own coarse with respect to a great question, but I can hardly imagine that he means to press his amendment to a division . With this conviction I shall confine myself to a very simple statement of the ob jects of the bill, and of the principal reasons which have induced the government to recommend it to the other house of parliament, reserving to myself the right of replying at length should any arguments be put forth in the de hate requinng, in my judgment, more detailed observation. Lord Granville then proceeded to explain the various details of the measure, and stated the reasons which had induced the government to continue the tea soil sugar duties, and to abolish the Excise duty on paper. The duty on par im peded its manufacture, pressed on almost every article sold, and formed* slight export duty upon all goods sent abroad wrapped up in paper, and was Injurious to the diffusion of cheap sad good iterature, while it was no check upon bad. The tax on paper had been condemned by the abstract resolutions of the House of Commons, and by lead ing men of every party in both houses of parlia ment Their lordship bad objected to its repeal last year, not became they considered the tax good in itself, bet became the revenue was not in a condition to dispense with its contribution. Now, however, that there was a surplus, the government were justified in proposing its repeal. In regard to the inclusion of the principal parts of the financial scheme in ono immure, it was strictly accord ing to precedents (many of which be quoted). The rouse of the House of Lords last year in rejecting the bill was, to my the least, " unusual ;" neverthelese the House of Com mons had behaved with the greatest moderation, and this bill had been brought in in its prmeat form in order to restore that house to the position it ought to occupy in the taxa tion of the country. He trusted the Duke of Rutland would withdraw his mutton. The DuieoIITITLAND said his objections to the bill were that he doubted the mistime of a surplus. He thought that other taxes ought to be repealed before the duty on paper, and that the form in which the bill came before the house was objectionable. In the present condi tion of affairs in Europe mid America, when it was impos sible to say how long peace might be preeerved, it was most inopportune to abolish the duty on paper, especially in the state of warlike preparation which was going on in France and England. Objecting strongly to the form in which the bill had been sent up to the house, he declined to accede to Lord Granville'e suggestion of withdmwiug the motion. Lord DERBY said that, in spite of his high opinion of the Duke of Rutlaod's opinion and character, ho could not concur with the practical conclusion at which he had ar rived, although he agreed with him in regarding the bill as objectionable in substance and in form—in substance, be cause he thought that if a surplus existed there were tuxes priming heavily on the poorer classes which had • pre ferential claim for repeal over the paper duty, and in form because the bill was sent up in one measure in order to preclude the house from exercising its judgment upon it. Briefly alluding to the reasons which had induced him to follow the course be bad pursued last year on this question, and of the effect of the decision of the house in contributing to reduce the deficiency of the present year by 1,2150,0001., the amount of the retained paper duty, he proceeded to dismiss the bud get for the present year, and pointed out the means by which Mr. Oladstoee had replaced the deficiency of the previous year by • surplus, and expressed his surprise that the House of Commons had been cajoled by so transparent • fallacy. He did not dispute the existence of the surplus, but the question was, how could it be best em ployed? He was re ad to admit that the paper duty was an objectionable tax, and one which, if there worsen overflowing exchequer, ought to be repealed, but its repeal would not work the m arvels which were pro phesied, and would only benefit " editors of penny news papers," and the makers of bandboxes. The whole gum tiou was, however, • financial one, and as the House of Commons had by • small majority decided on the repeal of the paper duty, he did not wish to take the re sponsibility. of advising the house to set themselves in opposition to that decision especially as the position of the question in the last and the present year were widely different. Lord Derby next ex amined at some length the right of the Lords to alter a money bill, contending that they had that right, and sup porting his arguments by quotations from various authon ties, of whom lir. Fox was one—but considered that it was unwise for either house to push its privileges to the utmost, and to manifest an unconciliatory sprit. Advert ing to the mode in which the House of Commons had dealt with "Tack Bills," he admitted the right of the Commons in that particular, but objected strongly to the manner in which it bad been exercised in proposing to take away a permanent tax and substitute a purely temporary one. The noble earl I continued—The conduct of the other House of Parliament over the finances of the country consists, first, in the neces sity by an annual vote to provide for all the great services of the country ;_ and next, that no step can lie taken for the applimition of the money voted without the introduction of all the items into en appropriation act. Rut let us suppose that this privilege of the House of Commons carried to the utmost, and that they do away with the whole of the permanent taxation of the country, and observe that if this precedent is to be followed, and that the supply for the year is to be purchased by the abolition cit some permanent duty, then gradually the permanent taxation of the country will be reduced to • minimum, and if the permanent taxation be reduced to a minimum then all the great serricee a the country will be compelled to be provided for by the annual vote of parliament. Theo if all the tuxes affecting trade are required to be provided for and made dependent npou the &anted votes -if permanent taxation, which alone can give security for the interest of the na tional debt, and for the maintenance of the credit of the country, is to be done away with, most serious and ruinous consequences must be the result. Therefore while 1 do wriest , that in the present case I am disposed to object to the *itemise of the discretion of the Howe of C,ouinious, I do say that it is a serious question, not only for your lordships' cuosiderat ion, but for the con sideration of the members of the House of Commons, and hope of the great utikuity of those who value the per manence of the institutions of the country, and I warn them to beware of any attempt to substitute annual for per mauent taxation, and thereby to unsettle the whole rela tions of commerce. clicking its credit and faith, and intro ducing into all financial matters an uncertainty which cannot but be prejudicial to the highest and best interests of the country. (Hear, hear.) It is in my own recol lection when the begat duties used to be an annual v o te, and so great erne the iucouvinience found to result, sod such the pandmatiou of trade that took place from the uncertainty whether the duty mould be left unaltered, re dnoed, or increased in the course of each successive year, that it was found absolutely scenery to on thai which had Lees minuet and to make it a permanent duty. And if it is this that the right hen. baronet of whom I have spoken complains of, as an infraction of the privileges of the House of Commons, it was a concession by the Howie Commons not of its privileges, but of that which was felt tube absolutely manurial for the commercial and mercantile interests of the country. (Hear, hear.) Therefore I do earnestly hope that this question of substituting I annual for permanent taxation will be carefully weighed by this tied the other Ilona* of Parliameht before the eye- e 39 60 ll6i 166 i
