It being certain, for the reasons assigned in The Sun of Tuesday last, that the Income and Property Tax will be renewed, in an improved form, by any Ministry which may be entrusted with the duty of carrying on the Government of the country, we may now consider the probable nature and extent of the modifications that will be submitted for legislative consideration. In the first instance, then, an attempt will, we believe, be made to render the impost more productive, not only by bringing a greater number of persona within its operation, but also by increasing the per centage payable by each. There is a general tendency of late years in favour of direct taxation. The people can no longer be de ceived by the indirect mode. They cannot now be persuaded that it is better to have 30s. filched from their pockets, than to pay 204. honestly and fairly to the National Exchequer. The late G. 11. PORTER (a first rate authority on such subject.) explains the reasons why the objectionable system was so largely resorted to in the olden time. He says, (Progress of the Netion, p. 476) "indeed it has always excited d 0 1: atisractio n , on t h e p a rt of the public, to be called for the payment of any tex, from which they have et the Power to protect themselves„ by abstaining from th e us e o f t h e taxed commodity.

Here, then, system ; "i confession weighs with destructive of the result of the It destructive force upon the springs of indu.stry,e aalicrushes those who are compelled to earn theirad, jo bread by their daily labour, and prevents the la of a really- free and unrestricted tride. t If our ports could be thrown op en t entire t world, if there were no imp t ed o i s m e en o t f other i the of our productions wig) Chase extram!dinary demand would. be created nateirchange for 0 : 1, 9 , an n ufecture ! s and natura l p roductions of every de,,:ia tion ; reed the country wou!,Z a:tan an unparrill,lP(-a -degree of prosperity.

Take our co mme rci a l relations with China, as a fair iiln stration. The select Committee en the tea dutit to in t heir report truly declare, that an y amount of Eng dish commodities that could be paid for wou!d ly take nin the Chinese Market. Tney bevel however, but three mcdes of payment, by means either of sp ir e r:, silk, or tea. They can only spare , a certain xiul o,ti k 'y of the former, and that is chiefly applied to the illicit traffic in opium, in which goods of any de scription will not be accepted by the smugglers. Our demand for silk is also limited, and no fiscal change would add greatly to its consump tion. Tea, then, alone remains to be exchanged for ' our productions, and that would be supplied to any extent. In consequence, however, of the erroneous duty of 2s. 2d. (about 700 or 800 per cent. on the first cost of the cheaper descriptions) its use is greatly restricted ; reduction of the duty to ls. would more than double—its total abolition would quadruple — the consumption. A cheap and wholesome beverage would thus be supplied to the people,—for the abo lition of duty, and consequent reduction of price, would remove the temptation to adulteration, now so loudly and justly complained of, while our exports to the celestial empire would be greatly increased ; and it is more than probable that facilities for traffic would in due time be afforded, that would open new and hitherto unknown dealings. An increased de mand for the wines of France and other countries would likewise have most beneficial results, and afford additional guarantees for the maintenance of perma nent peace. But these unquestionable advantages are to be sacrificed, in order that'people may be enabled " to protect themselves, by abstaining from the use of the taxed commodity" —or, in other words, that they should be permitted to evade their just proportion of the public burdens. This is neither fair nor equitable. If a certain sum be required to liquidate national liabilities, or to maintain the national esta blishments, it could scarcely be considered as a re commendation of a proposed tax; that it could be avoided at pleasure—that some might escape alto gether, while the well-disposed would have to supply their deficiencies, and thus bear a double burden. This argument would be conclusive against the system if well founded. It is, however, only so far as articles of mere luxury are concerned that it is available. It would be ridiculous to tell the labourer or the sempstress that they have no cause of complaint, in consequence of the duties on beer, tobacco, or tea, as they might abstain from using the articles which habit has rendered essential to their comfort. The rich men may abstain from using wine, without suffering any great priva tion. Not so the poor man, who, if he has the means to pay for, must consume his beer, or tobacco, or tea. It can soareely, then, be considered optional. The argument, therefore, is partly based on a fallacy, and so far as it possesses any real weight, it ought to be guarded against rather than encouraged, being neither more nor less than a premium to dishonesty—an in centive to evade just responsibilities. The argument that the people do not feel indirect taxation—that they eat, and irink, and smoke, with out being cognizant of the presence of the tax-ga therer, rests on no stronger foundation. We are no longer children, to be bamboozled into payment that must be made. We should meet our responsibilities fairly, paying what is necessary and no more. The payment by indirect means was very desirable to sinecurists, who derived much larger means than they could do by way of salary. That grievance has been nearly abolished, and it is for the people to grapple with the still greater evil of indirect pay ments to the Revenue, which draws nearly 50 per cent. more from their pockets than finds its way into the Exchequer. We have repeatedly proved this fact. It is not merely the expense of collection which for the Excise and Customs may be arranged at 6 per cent., one being a little above, and the other a little below that amount, but the profits of the five or six intermediate dealers, which are calculated not merely on the first coat of the article, but on the amount of duty, and also on the profits of the preceding parties. Thus, let us suppose that goods pass from the first importer to a large wholesale house, then to one of less pretensions, supplying not the entire kingdom, but an extensive district; then through two different classes of retail houses, and that the profits of each be 10 per cent. This, we are convinced, is an under estimate both as to the number of hands (five) and the scale of profits. The first who pays the duty, say of 1001., charges 1101. to the second, who, in his turn, adds 11/ for his profits, and thus receives from the third, 1211. Omitting fractions, the fourth hand must pay 1331., and the fifth 1461., and the con sumer 160/.; so that for 941.—being 1001., minus 6/. I for the expenses of collection—the consumer pays no less than 1601.—a heavy price for the pleasing dela lion practised on his unsuspecting innocence. Better far to pay 1001, and that 99/. should go to the nation, than to give 1601., and only to reap the benefit cf 941. Direct taxation is, therefore, at once the most equi table and the most expedient. Sooner or later it must supersede all others. We do not anticipate that it will at once be established; but a step will at least be taken in that direction, and that will be by an increase of the tax on property to, at least, five per cent., or a shilling in place of 7d. in the pound. Mr. DISRAELI has pledged himself to allow some relief to the com munity. The small addition above referred to, along with the more equitable apportionment of the tax, and the extension of its operation, would at once place six or seven millions at his disposal —a matter of no ordinary importance to a financial Minister of capa city sufficient to distribute a surplus judiciously, and to afford the greatest amount of relief to the suffering classes. Among the subjects prominently referred to in the Royal Speech, is that of legal Reform. We are told that inquiries are in progress, with a view of bringing into harmony the testamentary jurisdiction of the several Courts, and that bills will be submitted for effecting further improvements in the Administration of the law. This is as it should be. It is conceived in the same spirit as that delivered at the close of last Session, when her Mezasty emphatically declared that, "Every measure which simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and expense of legal pro ceedings, without introducing uncertainty of deci sion, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lower ing the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable boon conferred upan the community at large." Much has already been accomplished, but much still remains to be done before legal Reformers can rest from their patriotic labours, and sit down contented, with the state of the law, and the administration of justice. We may, however, congratulate them on the auspicious commencement of a Session that promises to be peculiarly rich in measures of Law Re form. Many Members of both branches of the legal profession have been returned to the new Parliament; but we do not on that account dread any obstructions to the progress of amelioration. On the contrary, we believe that it will exercise a material influence in expediting the necessary alterations. Several of these gentlemen have already honourably distingui4hed themselves, and will, we have no doubt, be desirous of achieving fresh laurels in their new and more'im portr.nt position, while the others who have, for thi firsr time, appeared in public will be anxious to assist in the business fur which their professional studies peculiarly qualify them. ITnere is, indeed, a general concurrence of opinion o❑ the neces►ity for extensive changes. On this point. Whig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, are una•- nimous. All admit the propriety of cleansing the Augean Stables from the filth accumulated during successive centuries. The only differences will be as to the details. These, however, will be easily over= come when the efforts of Honourable Gentlemen will be directed solely to the amelioration and not to the rejection of the contemplated measures. A little unnecessary caution may perhaps occasionally be dis playet-i—a fear of trenching too deeply on unknown ground; but we are satisfiKd that the only object will be to avoi, l " introducing uncertainty of decMon, or impairing the authority of the Coue, or lowering the high standar, 1 of the Judicial Bench." " Loomi ng in the future," we discern a speedy 'nd Successful alteration in the Ecclesiastical Courts. T hese tribune: s have hitherto contrived to escape the attention of ti e Legislature. A greater accumula tion of legal col avrebs—a greater reverence for useless Inc i unmeaning . forms—a greater attention to the letter rather the ti to the spirit of the law, may be dis covered there tl tau in othsr places professing to be Courts of Justi,le. All the abuses that disgraced and disfigured the 'Court of Cha❑cery, before the labours of the refornaers bega❑ to produce fruit, may still be found flourishing in rank luxuria❑Ce in these secluded ball. The I tublic hear but little of the solemn absur dities daily tmacted, because there is little of interest, 'ALE SUN, ;LONDON, FDAY EVVNIN - G, 'NOVEMBER 12, 14152. except to the parties immediately(' concerned, who have, generally speaking, many bitter reminiscences on the subject, and whose pockets are heavily mulcted on account of these frivolities, which would be emi nently ridiculous, but for the enormous and ruinous expenses thereby entailed on the victims. It is there that the leviathan sinecurist flourishes, who receives some ten or twelve thousand per annum, for doing nothing, and who feels a degree of virtuous indigna tion at hearing it supposed that he should ever be called on to do anything, or to con tribute the most trifling sum towards the expenses of having the real business of the office, for which he receives such enormous payment• There other jobs, as flagrant, although perhaps not involving quite so large an amount, are to be found. There has not, in fact, been the slightest improvement since the accomplished author of " Ten thousand a year" exposed some of the secrets of the Prison house, or since DAVID COPPERFIELD published his reminiscences anent Doctors' Commons. The same dull, sleepy, endless routine, conducted by the same family party, still goes on. The same sums are ex tracted from the community. And, cui bono, what earthly use or benefit is attained by the proceedings, except giving handsome incomes to the practitioners. There can, however, be no vested interest in such abuses. Barristers and attorneys have been deprived of many emoluments, but it was never contended that what was bad in itself should be continued for their benefit. The good of " the many" was pre ferred to the private interest of " the few," and ad vocates or proctors cannot expect to be treated in a different manner or with greater indulgence. It is true that " testamentary jurisdiction" is only referred to in the Speech; but there can be no di luted or milk-and-water reforms in this de partment. The entire system is radically wrong, and no attention or change can place it on a sound foundation. Why should there be any ecclesiastical jurisdiction ? Are not the lay tribunals fully quali fied to deal with any questions that may arise, and to adjudicate according to the rights of the parties ? Why should not the County Courts be authorized to grant probates or letters of administration in undis puted cases? And why should not the Superior Courts at Westminster decide any point, however abstract or complicated ? If a testator dispose of real and personal property by his will, the validity of that will must be determined, so far as the real estate is concerned, by the verdict of a jury, and its legal operation by the Courts of Equity or Common Law, with an ultimate appeal to the House of Lords. But as to the goods and chattels, personal estate, and effects, a totally different tribunal must be resorted to. The Court of Prerogative decides on the validity of the will, thence there is an appeal to the Court of Delegates, and from that to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. How harassing must be this double litigation to the unfortunate litigants, and how greatly must it add to the public respect for our legal tribunals, when a will is sometimes pronounced good as to the reality, and bad as to the personality, or vice versa OVERLAND MAIL.

When doing so, how ever, they will necessarily have to consider the other grievances. The original wills, on which so much property depends, must be placed in safe keeping. Those who have read the admirable series of papers in Household Words, " The Doom of English Wills," can readily conceive that these important documents cannot possibly be in a worse position than at present. They might be carefully preserved at less than a tithe 'of the expense now incurred, and facilities for inspection, searches;, &c., might be afforded, now absolutely unknown. We believe that the matter may be entrusted to the hands of Ministers ; but we venture to remind them that nothing less than the total abolition of thos e nuisances, and the complete transfer of the jurisdiction, will content the public, or satisfy the reasonable expectations of legal reformers.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on sale to day was very moderate, and in middling condition, the beef trade was in a depressed state, owing to the un favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, and the heaviaesa in the demand in the dead markets, and Monday's prices wero with difficulty supported. The numbers of sheep were on the decrease, yet all breeds rulel hes.vy, at barely late currencies.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat up to our market, coastwise, have been only 2 430 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, and io very middling condition. To-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage was small : hence, the show of samples was limited. For all kinds we had only a mo derate inquiry ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. For forward delivery, very few transactions took place. imports of foreign wheat have been confined to 5,370 quarters ; but the chew of samples, ex granary, was good. Several parcels changed hands for oountry consumption ; but the demand was by no moans active at late rates. Floating cargoes were held at very full currencies.

HEREFORD, TIIESDAY.::SOMe sensation has been created here by the apprehension and examination of three men, before the Hereford magistrates on the charge of being concerned in a most daring burglary at Llanover, in the adjoining county of Monmouth. a few nights ago. The names of this accussd are Thomas Murphy, John O'Brien alias Arnold and Dennis Higgins. They are charged with having entered Llansabbeth Farm, Llanover, and stolen 201., two pistols, a gold watch, and other articles, the property of Mr. George Window; and also with having assaulted the Rev. John Evans, and beat him with the butt of a pistol. The offence was committed under circumstances of great daring. It appears that in the absence of Mr. and biro. Window from home, the farm was entered between 6 and o'clock in the evening by six men, five of whom were armed with bludgeons, and the sixth with a pistol. All had their faces partly concealed by crape or handker' chiefs. On the men entering the house, a niece of Mr. Window, who had been left in charge of the premises, sue ceeded in effecting her escape and reaching the vicarage. She informed the Rev. Mr. Evans that thieves had en' tered her uncle's premises, and the reverend gentle man imerncdiately repaired alone to the farm, where he found that the male and female servants of the establishment had all been made prisoners, and placed in the corner of the kitchen, with their faces to the wall. The robbers immediately seized the reverend gentleman and compelled him to keep conspenl with the servants. Soon after Mr. Prince, a neigh' bouring miller, passing by, looked in, and he too was captured and placed with the other prisoners' In the meantime the cry of " thieves" had been raised in the village, and three men—a farm ser vant, an under-gardener of Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P. , and the village harper—proceeded to the farm, wbeh they too were captured and compelled to stand in ? corner of the kitchen with their laces to the wall' Having ransacked the house, the robbers made off with their booty, amounting to 201. in gold and silver, an d the gold watch and pistols already mentioned. The Government having offered 501. in addition to the reward offered by Mr. Window, for the apprehensio n of the robbers, the country was scoured without effe t ' until Superintendent Payne, of the Herefordshire poll apprehended the prisoner Murphy on a charge 01 passing counterfeit coin, when he found upon him s couple of pistols, which have since been identified as those stolen from Mr. Window. Three other corn . panions of the prisoner were followed, and as th e y entered Hereford, the police seized one of the s. (O'Brien), who immedi a tely d rew a l oa d e d p i sto l, three ,.. l ening to shoot th e officers if they did not s tand bac k The policemen, Ben ne tt and Hawkins, of the Hereford police, seiz , -41 his arm, and in the scuffle the trigger V7ll O pulled and the cap exploded, but luckly did not ignite the charge. Thu pistol was loaded with powder and ball. Higgins was subs( quently apprehended at a tavern in tlerelord. A second loaded pistol was found on O'Brien. The prisoner O'Brien has since made a confession. Be admits hie participation in the burglary, and states the; for the lest six or seven years he has been living by the same species of plunder. He says five others assisted him, and that the other prisoners were part of the OPP On the day lifter the robbery, Murphy gave hail (O'Brien) Si 10s. as his share of the booty. Evidence having been taken of the capture of the prisoners, they were remanded.
