. ••••' Member concluded by moving for leave to explain sod amend the Acti of the Ist and 2d Geo. IV. relative to husbandry horses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER -said _that if he differed from the view taken by the Hon. Member for Essex, he assured him that it was without the slightest doubt as to the conscientious motives by which he was actuated. The Hon. Member must him self he aware of the extreme difficulty of drawing the - line in mil Pf . taxation.. It was difficult to point out .or to satisfy persons as to what articles were taxable Mid whit were riot. He would take an instance—the trade of packing nails. The nail-packer cried out, •' Why should you tax me for packing nails, which is only putting them into a sack , while you don't tax the farmer for potting corn or other produce into a sack ?" The exeniption under the present Act referred to horses in husbandry, .and in husbandry only. It had become a question whether horses used by persons employed as market gardeners were to be taken as husbandry horses? The luestion was referred to the Commis sitmers; and they, after serious consideration, decided that the horses were employed for the purpose of bring ing articles to 'market for sale and profit, and were therefore to be considered as trade horses, and conse quently liable to the tax. This was the situation in which many persons in Surrey, Kent, Middlesex, Es sex, and other places in the immediate vicinity, were pla'ed—persons occupying land partly as farmers and partly at market gendeners, were taxed in this way. He had had it in contemplation, at an earlier period of, the year, to introduce a Bill for the consolidation of the different Acts that had reference to the Assessed Taxes, but circumstances prevented him from doing so. He should, however, bring it in early in the next Session, and he therefore hoped that the Hon. Member would consent to withdraw his motion for the present, until the whole question should come mote folly under the consideration of the House. Mr. SYKES was glad that the motion had been brought forward, as it had elicited from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite the declaration he bad made telauive to the consolidation of the laws respecting the Assessed Taxes. He agreed with the Hon. Member for Essex as to the hardships complained of, and he knew of many of a similar nature in the town which he had the honour of reresenting; but after the declare tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite. his Hon. Friend could not press his motion at present. • Mr. T LENNARD supported the motion. Lott, - ALTHORP said, that though the Chancellor of t'te Exchequer was not so well acquainted with the operation of farming concerns as he happened to be, yet he must still be aware that upon every farm it was necessat y to grow vegetables for the use cf the lend, and therefov the horses used for the purpose ac cording to t!‘e Right Hon. Gentleman, be called trade horses. He was glad to hear the notice given by the Right Honourable Member opposite, and he hoped he would give the subject of his Honourable Friend's motion his most serious consideration between this and .the next Session. In the meautime he concurred with the Honourable Member for Hull, in hoping that his Hon F. lend would, for the present,withdraw his motion. .Mr. W. SMITH did not know the distinction that ,eras to be made in taxing horses that were employed to draw orgeubles that might serve either for the food of man or of cattle. He thought the Parliament would . act more consistently, in taking the tax off the market gar.vier, than in laying it on the farmer. In order to 'do justice to ai classes in the details of a Bill proceed ;tog on such nice distinctions, the most minute and iioublesome czar mess would be necessary. The people would be mote than ever subjected to the vexations of the collectors and assessors, and a great number of Petitions would be presented on that very account to the House, as there had been already on the iiiconve nieces occasioned by the conduct of those who col lected the assessed lazes. Mr. G. I)AWSON observed, that from the Return• made to the Treasui y, it appeared those persons only were taxed whose horses were used solely, or almost solely, for the purposes of market gardening. That employment was, perhaps, connected with husbandry ; but the law did not look on it as husbandry, but as trade; and the horses were, therefore, held liable to the duty. The market gardeners bad agreed to abide by the decision of the Law Officers of the Croon; but the Treasury had got a decision from a higher quarter, namely, from the Judges, andthat decision being against the market gardeners, he thought they ought to yield. He recommended' the Hon. Member to withdraw his motion, and wait for the measure which the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to bring in on this subject. Mr. WESTERN thought he must, under present cir cumstances, withdraw his motion ; but he should much have wished to have seen a measure that would relieve the market gardeners, rather than one that would impose a tax on the farmer. He observed, that the cases before the Judges bad not been those of tamers only, or of market gardeners only, but of both united; and he did not, therefore, seem inclined to consider that those de cisions had been given on a full knowleige of the facts. He thought the Government were straining the law in the case of the tat ; but he saw be coold do nothing at present.' Mr. DARING should be loom to see the Revenue frittered down, for what we did not pay in one way we most pay in ano ther.—The motion then was withdrawn. Mr. WESTERN presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers et Land la &see, respecting ISNlPSllltlite on market gardeners. • The Sheriffs of London were admitted to the bar, to present a Petition teem the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council. praying that leave might be given to bring, is a Bill to regulate the Port of London. The SOLICITOR GENERAL moved for leave to bring In a Btil to regulate the inevealsk Terms, which were productive is their present state of much inconveni ence. lie proposed that the two Terms which were new moveable should be Axed for the days mentioned in the Mill.

Just as this Paper was going to press, we received Dutch Papers of yesterday's date, from which we make the following extracts : AMSTERDAM. MAT 14. The &tarried, Snsyrne contains, at great length, an estimate of the force of the Turkish army that is likely to be employed in t►e new campaign. The regular cavalry conakts of 31 squadrons of 100 men cash (alt of them are in the camp at Ramis Tchiftk), the regular infantry of IS battalions of 1,000 men each, in the b ha at Constantinople, and 41 battalions with the army. No change has been made in the artillery, but the Topckis are very much de voted to the Sultan. It is Impossible to state the amount of the irregular force, even approximately, for want of data. Last cam paign 107,000 rations were daily distributed at Schumla, so that I we may reckon one hundred thousand lighting men. If we take the number of troops in the fortresses on the Danube at 50,(.00 men, the Turks had 130,000 men in the Geld last year. At the approach of winter moat of the irregulars, as usual, retire nest home ; but the time is now come fee them to appear at their post again. For these three months troops have been arriving at Constantino ple, and the corps are ors the march to Adrianople. Bosnia, be tides, has resolved to send its contingent, which it refused to funnels last year; and there is every reason to believe that the Sultan will be able this year to bring Into the geld an army twice as nunieruus as in 1021. _ _ The Chemise also says, that the President of Greece, Went he left Reim, obtained from the Russian Government a promise that Russia would guarantee the third loan of thirty millions of francs, and a hope that France would guarantee another third. It was sot knows whether England would do the same. The loan appears to have been offered to some houses at Paris. The SIM Paper arms that the resignadon of Prince Yystlanti has been accepted. The Roams Catholic fSergy end part of the inhabitants of the island a Byes have addressed a memorial to the Pope. requesting that they may remain ender the dominion of the Turks. because if they should be united with the free State of Greece, they would have to meet within' but misery and persecution from the hatred which the Greeks bear to them, on 'account of the difference of their faith ; they therefore solicit the interference of the Aatetzw.w.

Mr. GORDON, who has been dispatched on a spe cial embassy to the Sublime Porte, will meet with no obstacles to the re-establishment of friendly relations between this country and Turkey, if, as we have reason to believe, the limits of Greece which he will propose should be those which the Allied Powers originally agreed upon; and to this arrangement, we believe, the French Minister will likewise adhere. It is expected, therefore, that the objects of Mr.Geanots'a mission will be fully and expeditiously accomplished; and if it be so, Great Britain and France will soon effectually inter fere between Russia and the Porte with a view to the termination of hostilities between those Powers. The difficulties which Russia has to contend against are found to be so much greater than had been calculated upon—and are again likely to be increased by the plague being more than usually prevalent in the Turkish army in this season—that it is thought not im probable that our Ambassador may be charged with some propositions having for their object the settlement of the dispute between Russia and Turkey. At all events some attempt to open the way to negotiation will be made; and both parties will probably be glad of an opportunity to adjust differences which, if pur sued, must probably lead to other Powers taking a decided part is the quarrel. We received last night the' Paris Papers of Monday, and the Garen* ds Frew dated Tuesday morning The latter contains a letter from Bucharest which states, that the grand head quarters of the Russian army had been fixed for some days at Gallus. The head quarters of the corps which is to besiege Stlistri'a are at Kalla rusch ; and it is added, that the want of forage as well as the bad state of the roads, caused by the inundations of the Danube, will not permit any operation before the beginning or middle of ty. A letter from Constantinople, dated the lath April, which is given in our front page, contains more favour able accounts of the state of that capital than any which have for some time reached us. The French Funds remain steady at 10af. Sc. and the Three per Cents. at 781. 80c. to 791. We received last night W.ishington Pipers to the 12th of April, and New York Papers co the 18th of that month. They contain intelligence from Colombia, which is given in another column. . We have received this morning by the Flanders mail, Brussels Papers to the 13th instant, and the Alge twine Zeilun: of the 7th, from which the following are extracts. By the paragraph from Vienna it would appear, notwithstanding the reports in the Paris Papers, that the Duke DR LAVAL MONTMORENCY was about to leave Vienna on his return to France. ° BRUS S ELS. MAT 9. In the sitting of the Second Chamber to day, the President an - nos:iced that be had received a Soya! Message with a project of law relative to the bakers. The Message says that it has appeared from legal proceedings that have lately taken place, that some bakers, induced by a love of gain, bad used poisonous substances ' in the bread; and it appearing that the existing penal laws have no adequate provisions against this crime, his bl.jesty has ;edged it advisable to lay before the States General a project of law to re medy this defect. This project of law is divided into seven Articles, of which the following is the substance— " Those who shall mis with bread or other food, blue vitriol. white vitriol, or any other deleterious substances, shall be punished by imprisonment from two to lee years, and a fine of SOO to 500 florins. " Those who shall mix deleterious substances with liquors shall be liable to the same penalty. " The ume penalties are applicable to those who shall sell or attempt to sell bread or liquors containing poisonous substances, who shall know they contain such, and to those who shall know ingly sell or furniAl such substanc • for an unlawful use. " 'fhe necessity of this law bring urgent, it was resolved that it' should be presented and examined as soon as pbriihie." The Chamber has been engaged in diseussing cartons details of the proposed changes in the law relative to the administration of justice. oinssA, Ann. le. We hear that the 6,000 men whom Admiral Greif bad taken es board his ileet at Sebastopol are to be landed at llazartijik. This expedition will certainly cause a great sensation at Constantluople. by impeding not only the conveyance of provisions to the capital, but also the communication with the Turkish army in Atli. It is repented that the Tur►s have assembled as army of 60,000 men at Erxereum. and that it will be re'.ofercsd in less than two months by an Egyptian corps of 16,000 men. VIENNA, MAT 1.
