Sfit—lt scents likely that an Income or Property Tax will be proposed during the approaching Session. 111 one or two poihis of mils, stifli a tax is confessedly elixiltle: in others, II is eminently ol•jeetio!lshle. Amine. these, the era, t tu egnality of its pressure is particularly worthy or con• aidrr3ttoo. 'l•n illustrate this inequality, I shall state an imaginary, but not an unlikely case. A and II are both married men ; each posses-es a fixed income 0'5091. • year, and has three children so far their ClICIIIITI! , 11111CP11 are apparently similar; but, in reality, they are widely duffel eat. Ais infirm, or his wife is so ; his three children, from right in fooricen years old, are at echoed; he is under the neceasity of maintaining two aged. indigent relations; and has con- It:feted a debt of 2091. On the other hand, R. anal his wile enjoy good health; their children, from one to five year. old, are at home ; instead of Ruppnrtiug indigent riga nuns, he occasionally experiences the innuificeure of upu• lent o ne. ; and his inc.otte is perfectly unencomhered by debt. "fhe medical aid required by A may cost 161 • year; the school, and other expenses of los three children, may ansonnt to 1201 ; the maintenance of his indigent relations In 501 ; sod the interest of his debt to 191 : in all 1901. The expenses of B children may not exceed 301. • year; and these expenses may, one year with another, be compen asited for by varied munificence on the pert of hie opulent kinsmen. Ile may thus be said to pu . a clear unen numbered income of slyer 5001 per aMilllnt; while the in come applicable to A 's strictly ►peaking domestic exigen cies does nut exceed 3101. Dueler such cireitmstantres, an income lax of Si. per reel., ainoistitiog to 40/.• year, would have suf other effect on if than that of obliging him to limit leis hospitality, or dispense with ce►tail) luxuries or super flifities, while, by reilescuste A.'s unappropriated income In 2701 n year, it would compel him, Vise continued his bounty to his indigent et bilious, and prosecuted the education- of Ifs child. en, to forego many of his habitual comforts, which hail gradually risen almost to the rank of necessaries of life, or Its retrench his bounty to his poor relations, or re tUOVP at least one of his childreit (ruin school, in ease he c o ol,' not ill.petime with the comforts alluded to consistently with the poem ivation of his health. There is another point of view in which the inequality 011ie pressure of an Income Tax is strikingly mantf,rt. The pay of and the salaries of civil offictrs, may he •scertaned in a traction; they therefore unit feel the full pressure oldie tax—slide others, the precise extent of abuse Maroons cannot, by ■ny contrivauce, he detected, may be comparatively but hide affected by it. And here I may Imo cover observe, that the former most necessarily be also the case soli all who flisflaio the practice of deceit, false hood, or misrepresentation in any shape, while the leiter be may the case with a dirge proportion of their less strupu ' Was ur Cl/1/IKlelliiolle fellow-subjects. Deprecating, for these and other cogent reasons, the im position of a general Income Tax, hut at the same time aware of the existing necessity of an additional copious source of revenue, anal also of the expediency of 'object ing to taxation the immense revenues derived (win property in the politic funds, 1 would suggest the imposition of a tax of 20/. per Lint. on all the unexpended mid ureitionlat log Incomes of this description, above 1,0110/. or 599/. a year. A sufficiently accurate knowledge of die amount of these unexpended individual incomes may be attained by using as a criterion the average amount of the stun paid cur Assessed Taxes, by persons enjoying either of the incomes just mentioned, which might easily be ascertained. For ex. if a person known to possess 10,0001. a year, de rived from property in the funds, pays no more for Assessed Taxes than what appears to be usually or generally paid by persons possessed of about 1,0001. or 5901. a year, derived from other sources, it may (filly he concluded that be an nually saves and accunsulales 9,0001. or 9,5001.; and should be taxed accordingly. This tax is certainly liahle to a strong objection on the ground of its being a partial one; but the strengils of this objection must be much impaired by the consideration of the inoperativeness of the tax, in abridging any of the com forts which the person taxed was in the habit of enjoying. Its only effect would be, to retard his accumulation of caps- t al. That is aould be au extremely popular tax, nerd scarcely be observed and *bat it would, its reality, ilwilab not sp. _ . pareutly, tend to an augmentation of the revenue a the Male, almost as much as a g I Income Tax, is, I ihiuk, indisputable, in as much as the latter must new ssarily in duce, in most insinoces, a proportionate diminution of ex. penditore in laud commodities, ht. or the part of those who pay it, and cuitsequeatly a proportionate diminution of the public rearm's., arising from Excise, Customs, Avatar/ell Taxes, &c. It might produce eighteen millions a !,esr; but its imposition would probably occasion a suleirractioil of six millions from the amount which the foregoing taxes might otherwise have yielded. 1 tun, Sir, yam obedient Servant, Z. a 4 r • ke r• r• FIRE AT SHOT7'ESBROOK LODGE.

Mr. MARHVATT moved for a tole to .hew Cann why 31 criminal information should not be tiled against J.imea llosvditch and James Sutton. His motion was mode on affidavits which disclosed facts of a very extraordinary nature, ■ud which, lie thought, would fill the Court with astonish ment and indignation. The facts were shortly these: to last Wary Term a rule was obtained lirfure their Lordships, calling on the Prose critrix Maria Glenn (in the indictment for a conspiracy, winch was fresh in the recollection of all), to chew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted to the several De fendants. affidavits oil that occasion on the our side and the other were not less than 1 . 80. The case in question produced * very strong Depilation and interest in the town of Taunton, with respect to the Lady ; much too strong, it honied out, for her trenquillity or peace. Their Lordships dr cided against a new trial, and immediately after, papers of a most scandalous descripti 111 l , and most injurious consequence to the character of the young Lady, were circulated through that town ; meetings were held, and sub►criptions entered into . for the Defendaiits, and many other circum stances took !dace, very discreditable to the p ir ties cam...riled, and by no moans favourable to the eourart of public justice. But if they had stopped there, he should not have advised the pre sent measure; because from a regard to the peace of the young Lady and her connexions, lie thought it better that the whole affirm should, if possible, be strillered to die away. At t h e October Sessions fur the City of London, bills were preferred against Miss Glenn, nod the servant who had lived with her at the tune the offence was perpetrated, for per jury, committed iis the affidavits pm in, lit bilening cause ogailist the rule fur a new trial, The CHIEF JUSTICE inquired the name or the Servant. .11r. MARRYATT answered Mary Whitby. He should forbear saying one word with respect to the innocence i'r guilt of either party. The question was to be again brought before a Court of Justice— it was not, therefore, for him to anticipate a verdict favourable to the former Prosecutors, or otherwise. But be complained most grievously of certain pub lications which appeared at Taunton, but three days after the finding of the hills. The CHIEF J lIT I C —" ‘Viutt is the date or the bills ?" Me.

He must read • copy to his Lordship, and whatever opinion might be entertain ed of the merits of the cage, he was p-rsuaded all per sons most feel that the circulation of such u paper was highly criminal, with reference to Miss Glenn, as well as calculated to rake a most undue impres sion, and altogether inconsistent with the ends of public justice. It was sworn that the paper was printed by desire and at the request torJaines Bow. mod that he was the person who applied to the printer for the purpose of procuring a thousand . copies, 111111 that these were given by him to James Sutton, who dt•trtbuted them in various quarters, and posted them up in all parts of Tinhorn,.
