The advertisement duty belorge to a class of taxes which hes not b . en sufficiently distin guished by economists. All duties tend to check cell sucaption ; but those which have a prohibitory effect are the mest vexatious. If a turnpike deters any person t ram ta ki ng a d r i v e in his gig, the reed trusn , es are none the richer, while the oweer of the gig los"s the use of his vehicle, The advertisement duty prevents thousands from ad vertisiug—greatly to their own inconveniece, and withiiut benefit to the revenue. The amount of 160,0001 yielded by this impost represents but a s ,,,,t ai ishet i 1 maid-servants co o rri f vt:b t in h t e su lossho advertise which fionrflic theiris on places the arepu public. un dulys, of taxed; yet they have a t l eas t t h e conso l a tion, such -rig. each her eighteeepence, to the msintenance cif the State end the .'Monarchy. Bot the hick aff :of rd to advertise suffer a still heavier loss from the existencethe duty—a loss gain to the Exchequer. 1. tax ought, it' possible, never to be levied on the per iorin ince of an act which et en he o m itt e d at p l easure . [het a are theorists who praise fiscal systems which leave 11 direction to itex-payers; but the equitable finan eier proceeds on un exactly opposite principle. Sound fi ianciel arrangements leave n ) room for caprice in the tsx•p , yer, but assesses him, as far as may be, in pro portion to his means. Taxes which favour either im providence or undue stinginess are always alike unpro ductive and demoralising ; and it is desirable that the operation of every impost should begin and end with the 'levy of the percentage required. A duty such as that on advertisements constantly interferes with every pru llntial It is ou such grounds as these that ;he removal of the " taxes on knowledge" will at no distant day be effect:el. Sentimental arguments may be used for skirmishing and ostentation ; but the true :cenomic bearing of various taxes is what will ulti nately determine the opinion of Parliament. THE FORTHCOMING BUDGET. Mr. Dim4eit'6 Budget is—he tells us—to be laid before the House or COmmons this day week. On that day we may hope to learn what plans the Protectiori,ts propose :or satisfying the demands of the country. There is no ,ufjrct which so much r, quires the attention of the re presentatives of the p.cple as the revision of our whole system of taxation; and no pert of that system is more faulty and more needs amendment, than the portion of it which was to have been brought 13, , t0re the 11.. use of tiomecons last night by Mr. Williams—the annual bestowal by the Government cfficials of about 7,000,0001. on themselves.

The Chancellor o f the Excht . quer, whose lively brain is filled o ft Lordhe cannoterD erby° tebee with crude financial plans, may possibly throw out some suggestions for lessening, on pretence of equalising, the burdens on the agriculturists ; and on some one of the many clap -traps he has already announced, apps al to the country; bus what the peopl e want i s a thorough revision of all our taxation, which will enable them fairly to compare its cost with the services it pays for, and by which the burder.s of the State will be rucluced to a tnittimum, and that minimum will be fairly distribut6d. The people must be on their guard against Protectionist trick+, and not permit themselves to be seduced by m ere finanoial schutnea into a bes'icf that 11 , 2 y plan is worthy of support which deviates from the just and righteous ob.ects they de-ire. cunningly great c l' pri a i or , v fp i r c e7 e B,oe which 80 otod lies at e pleenr eo t the bottom stopping ast h e officials that cliaolos , a 0h ou 01. in its transit to the Treasury, instead of sending it thither to be afterwards transmitted to them, but it is the power assumed by the Treasury to expend such a vast sum without first securing the sanction of Par , liawent. To exptnd 6,0000001, or 7,000,0001. on the n-.vy, and as much on the army, the Executive government must present estimates to the House of Commons, and obtain its consent tot mploying and pay. tog a certain number of sailors and Soldiers; but the Government may appoint any number of Custom-house and Exci , e officers it plt-a , es, and on them and other tficigla employfd to cull' ct the revenue, it m ay exp,u(l 7,000.0001. a year, without submitting any estimate to .Use f C , immons. and without rendering it any .iecount of the manner in which the money is expended. That is the vice of the system, and it is uneonbtitutional as welt as absurd. _ _ _ The only account the Government renders is this— that it is nlevsed to expend about 1,600 000/. in collect ing 22.000.0001. ~ , uec.lcglsso) l Customs 0 :0001.„fu tie xe d i u sed s, about utiesl6 l, s. o o o o o ol o . o i O n l. in c(a. lectiug nearly 7,000.0001 on stamps; 360,0001. in collecting 10,000,000/. of assessed tax , a ; 1.200 0001. in collecting by the 1 3 , abou , 2.500 004 ; and 325,000/. in collecting lr ss than 500 0001 on Crown land -t, besides milting draw [icks, allowances. &c. According to the Parliamen tary Pin. er No. 98, Session 1847, the total annual amount of money expended in this way which never reached the Exchequer was 7,004,-138/ l Is. 7 2-12 d., so fractionally minute is the Executive Government in in forming the Parliament of the sum it pleases to expend without Parliamentary authority. lc is has:tly assumed by the confiding Parliament and the too confiding people that it is necessary to expend 5/. 15.. 844. on every 100/. collected of Cu,toins du , les, 51 7s. 11 4 1 on every 1001 of Ex , vise duties, 21. 3s. 7id. on every 1001. of stamps, 31. 3s. 3i.i. on every 10u/. of taxes, and 21. 18i. 24d. on every 100/ of revenue from the Crown lands —or, in cluding " other payments," which we think ought to be included—to expend 120/. on every 100/. obtained from Crown lands. But there is no other reason for assuming such an expenditure to be necessary except the statement of the officials. If the stamps can be collected (and nobody supposes there are not plenty of clerks and other officials in the Stamp-office). at 21. 34. 7,i. per cent., why 5h ,, u1 , 1 the Customs cost 51 154. Si 1., and the Excise 51. 7s. 11 4 4 -4. ? The Go vernment ass complete power over its debtors, and it is only, a carelessness of what it expends—or a love of expenditure—that can make it expend more than double the sum in collecting 100/, of Customs and Ex ch.. duties than in collecting 100/. of stamp duties. Both the chief Customs and all the Excise duties are collected on a few articles in great masses and at a few spots, whilo the collection of ih , stamp duties is spread all orrr the kingdom. Prima facie it might be inferred, therefore, that the two former would be collected at a cheaper rate than the layer. But it has pleased the gentlemen who collect the Customs and Excise to be dreadfully sukpicious of every tax-payer and every tax eullector, and of every person who might have, a tax to pay, and so they have multiplied guards and checks to prevent an evasion of payment or a collusion to evade payment between their own officers and others, and have introduced a complicated system, which is at once annoying, vexatious, costly, and, as we know from ex peri.nee, wofully ineffective. 01 all the details of the system the Treasury knows nothing but what it learns from commissioners and other subordinate officials, and to every one of their suggestions to multip l y checks anti increase the staff of the establishments it has always Parliament and of the taxes, ren&rin • g no other account to a vast sum as t the cost of collection." That such i t e o n i t n a cr r eVe y it e s a i r tr b o e ra u g s e e , a e n ve d ry ex s t is really necessary to expend such to prove.

Turning to my Analysis, TOl.l TAYLOR'S lot is the next that catches my eye. It consists of Lady Efel)n, Ghsdi ile , Lilac, and the Jemim 1 filly. The tirst uam , ..l, it is .aid, will represent the stable; and as Nat will probably have the mount, all that can be done for her will be accomplished; but lam afraid it will not enable her to obtain a victory. FOBERT has Hippolytus and Lueio, neither of which poisessts any chancel of winning. ____ GILL has Neqsham and Bird on the Wing. The former i 3 re ported scratched, or at least a declared non-starter. I b , lieve there is some little truth in the rumour; but whether or no matters little, as be possesses no earthly hopes of winning. Bird on the Wing is a fine slashing filly, and m.y possibly run very forward in the race. Sh , is reported to have left this stable either to be tried with something else, or consequent on a change of ownership. SAUNDERS' string comprises no less than seven, viz,, Goldfinder, Le Jair, Trickstz-ss, Ringleader, The Castle, Sally, and Atary Ann. Ringleader , I imagine, will be the repre sentative of thii stable. I entertain but a small estimate of his chance, however. The three years old Sally, at sst. does not look amiss, but others of her own age in the race will keep her safe. has llt i • • 119 cum m training for WIN this event, 'and has _ GOOD 10 030 P` cul'ar notions th a t h e %s ill be enabled to rill j u gth rh with him.

Mi lner Gibson for his vigorous lenuaciation of e taxes ea knowledge," which, like texas on food," e taxes on ind ustr y , " e taxes on pru lows.," " taxes on light," and oth e r lik e pe n alties, very egnificantly . mark the eh aNcter of t hi s vulgar xlstence. Bet, stran ge as it msy seem, a good talker e never so likely to go wrong a s when he is 'seedling i 4 if-evident truth. When a preacher epees his sermon with a truism, we may be sure, in order 'to redeem it corn poverty, he is about to gild it with paradox end xaggeratiun. Mr. ,Moluer Gibenn, having a rethet esckiliee truth to deal with, rode his hobby last night ts ..zet•td deal too hard; and, wh en he dismounted, the else. - eible Mr. Ewart rod os i t still harder, To these texts vere - ascribed all the tnisforrobee of literature—ill-paie , ethers, ruined publishers, en ill- su p p li e d pu bli c , trades nen wittiout custom, h eusameide out of place, B' . eels wititut readers, and newspapers .in a ' state .-shich we most unaffectedly declare it is no pleasure us to describe.

Nis narrow view of the subje ct i s not merely an in i ustice to the successful, which matters very little, b ut; ',h more irnpostant, it blinds the at is farpublic to re medies within everybody's reach, It, as Mr. leilner lateen says, the Times is " eating up " t h e ot h er papers, is as unfair to aseetbe that devouring process to the peration of the advertisetione duty Y as it would be to ey the secret of Mr. Macattlefa success to the duty or _Lay fz---Tlia-cirulatiaa.a . wea-ussagi smwcr i ries.tio all; under the same cenditions tas - 4; tei , r i en; new j ournals have beaten old ones even since " taxes oi. :nowledge" were annually ce. di ' l ---- ..I '-fierials nave made, tel are stilt making, the fortunes of their authors an ubliehers; and, to crown all, every good servant with good character can get a good place, notwitb landing the irresistiWe ieflaenues which were last ieht imagined against it. The greater part of Mr bider Gieson's speech, and nearly all that was new iti was devoted to the duty on Neer, which, übfertu isely, is so productive that its repeal is almost a hope, as affair. On the testimony of some well-known pub• ;ahem, this duty was described as particularly hokum', nd indeed fate' to the cheap and instinctive class o; rids. It is said that they only pay by i pining sub cribers as they proceed, through the increasing appre- ItitiOn of their merits, and by the consequent sate of neir back numbers; but, as the heck uuuthers will not era disposed of till many months or }ears after the date of their publication, it follows that a good deal of capital oust be sunk for that period in the shape of paper duty. eerhaps we are hardly fair judges of such a speculation.. tut, as it appears to us, it can nevi l. fail to be ha zardous under the most favourable circumstance. The oust casual glance at the book-stalls reveals the :act that serials don't keep, and it can only be r limited class of very enthusiastic, probably Youtnful subscribers, who are so pleased wile; Vo. 50 that they order the whole series from the be sinntng. There is a general p aim laint in the tract, oat cheapness is carried too far in these publications. test is; ai, the risk and inconvenience of others ; nay. was boated the ether day at a meeting of publishers tit several of the class have lately detetuatued to have . - 0 wish, too, t h a t thing t o d o w i t h cheap serials. We ve could persuade ourselves that the saving to arise , rum the remission of the paper duty would naturally rid directly be added to the remuneration of authors. Phis seems to us a gratuitous supposition, as there would - , all remain the same inducement as now to cut down II the costs to the lowest possible scale, not only in the - pirit of rivalry, but for thesake of profit. One of the meat singular and lamentable features of American so let), is the very low scale of remuneration, even for the 'Ugliest literary services, compared with the profits of all other occupations ; and, whether with Teas son or nut, that is abscribed to the, extreme cheapness of all kinds of literature. It it, in fact, so cheap and shun atit, as to swamp real merit and vulgarize the test,, of .ne public. We have mimic these remat ks upon serials eecause they occupy the chief place in Mr. M. Gibson', estalogue ut grievances, As to the inconvenience of the Excise in the process of manufacture, and the neces sity, under existing circumstances, of first drying paper .)i. the Exciseman 's scales, and then wetting it for the Dress, that is au undeniable nuisance; though, we aro sorry to say, only one Excise nuisance nut of a lekien. Are find ourselves once more the object of allusion, with a running itmendo that we have art in ierest in maintaining the taxes on knowledge. On se veral former occasions it has been shown in these co lumns that, as the remission of the paper duty would _ionetitute only a small fraction of a penny in the price of each paper, it could not be deducted from the price, ead must tall to the proprietors. Of course, we could ere-, object to that. As for the duty on the advertise nents, there can only be one opinion on its gross ine quality. We feel it so strongly that for servants wan eng places we charge on a very unprofitable scale. But, efter all, they contribute only a small portion of our ad - vortisements. In round numbers, there were yesterday about twelve hundred advertisements in our paper, and ,f these about two hundred were fur servants wanting elea.s The advertisement duty for the day amounted t i 901 , of which 151., or not more than 17 per cent. of - he whole, was paid fur the class of adverti,ernents ehicb is very naturally felt to deserve consideration. It is not our interest that this class should increase to, the exclusion of a more profitable kind; and, if the duty shold be taken off, and our office should be more .hrunged than ever with servants wanting places, it is sot improbable that we should find it necessary to keep up the charge to nearly its present scale. As bo the other classes of advertisements, the duty in ge aeral forms but a small portion of the cost. We have no interest in the maintenance of this duty, and, con sidering the infinite ' variety of ot h er ways i n which people can advertise their commodities, their professions. their books, and themselves, at no other cost than the clogging of our thoroughfares, the 'defacement of our walls, and the general annoyance of the Wile., we can not but think the newspapers are rather hardly used. Chem remains the stamp duty. Here, too, we can have no possible interest, except to be emancipated from touch cost and trouble. We happen, indeed, to be srei:il -ufferers, being the only paper that almost invariably publishes a supplement. The more we give our readers f or their money the more we are taxed, and the duty thus ,perates as an express discouragement to enterprise. The Milner Gibson, by the by, does not state with per fect accuracy the evidence given before the Committes as to the effect of this duty on our circulation. It is not the stamp on the firat sheet, charged Sii., but the stamp on the second sheet, given grater, which destroys the profit of oar paper after a ce r t a i n circulation, and thus operates to the injury of the edvertisereted purchaser— io fact, of the public at large. As to the general queition of the stamp duty, en behalf o f the whole metropoli vin press, we only ask to be fairly dealt with. Mr. Evvert sufficiently indicates the eff . ct- of substituting a postage .or a stamp duty, when he recommends the lecaltz %tient of the press. At present the London papers and their more ambitious provincial competitors start fair, being equally weighted With the penny stamp. While, therefore, the country papers appropriate our Parliamentary, legal, commercial, and foreign intelli gence,end such other costly matter, with the utmost slispa'ch, and without so much as thanks, there still ex ".'e a large class of country readers who prefer the Times at sd. to any provincial piper at that prlcs. But, have to pay sd, ir they or 5i 1 for the Times by pest, and only 41. for some provincial reproduction of its con ents delivered at their door by a running maisenger. they may possibly prefer the cheap and piratical sub stitute. We trust that this is not to be recommended en the principle of free trade; fur, in fact, it will be e e._ thing but a protected robbery. 'l4 fa our own part, we a nythioig but air i never ask( d fur play; we have never. received more than fair play; and we never wish for more.

That is to say, the Board of Inland Revenue really—but nomi nally its creature and eatepaw the Goveanment—having solemnly egre:-.'d to be bound by tlie judgment of a M.s pirity of arbitrators of the it own choosing, break their eectorement, upon the childish plea that they are "not satisfied." In the long and dismal annals of litigation, it has, we believe, never occurred that a worsted party ever was - or ever could be satisfied with being pronounced in the wrong. Indeed, from a decision so given there is no appeal; but, in order to create an appeal, Mr. Dickens must he stretched once more upon the rack—must endure peine forte et dure of the law. The Attorney-General professes that such a gross rireach of faith is necessary to set the stamp question at rest; hut what warrant is there that the question will be induleed with any rest until it is getled in favour of the pleintitfa? It there he any meaning in words, or 'erne in agreements, the cpiestien is settled; and settlea in favour of Mr. Dickens so thoroughly, that the lase a!- lows of no appeal from a decision given upon such pre ceedings as those ineffectually tekeu against the House • hold Narrative. Before Mr. Dickens can be dragged into a Court of Error a new set of proc?edings, and a second decision against the Crown must be taken; ane. what, is to prevent ftv• else, should the Court of Error no' give " satisfaction" to the Beard of Inland Revenue, from belie; referred to the House of Lords, and dtaggeii through an endless trail of litieatiore of which many younger men than Mr. Charles Dickens wig not live to see the end ? Throngh such a frightful vista of legal orture the defendant is supported by the comfortable experience that the Crown pays no e ists. His grew misfortune has been success in the first iestaisce. To have been proved in she right is to be ruined. Blunders ake lies beget one another in geometrical progression. rhe first blunder of the Commissioners of 111130 Revenue was the p aren t o f a ll th e others if they had -- not - put -- --driven the Norwich_ _ Re tenser upon what we, in c ;mmon wide three of our judges of the Court --of Eecheqesr, believe to ae an erroneous construction of the law, they woul,l have had no occasion to attack the Bouslhold Narrative. Nor, having been foiled in that attack, would they attempt to renew it by a disgraceful breach of faith, prompted by a blind obstinacy in wrong. The point at issue is, comprehensively, of no manner of consequence, rhere are not, and perhaps never will be, twenty punts eations similar to that of Mr. Dickens in the three king• dome. Whether they be steno able newspapers or not, makes noshing for or against the stamp abolition gross 'ion. The whole affdr, therefore, assumes the bat* as , ffi, i t a i rancour. If the law be obscure and g p o e n c f t n o!: ix days (although printed with what hap pened yesterday), and if such a doubt still exists be doubtful whether that which is twenty_ in spite of the clear reading of the law by three Ex chequer judges, the honest course to a do p t is to have the law made clear and indisputable, eith er b y an en tirely new Act or by an explanatory Act; not to break a solemn bond upon the puerile and dishon ourable plea that the decision made in respect of it is not "satisfactory" to the vanquished party. If the deci sion of three out of four judges be not final ( as it was agreed between the parties it should be), no legal dower on earth' can settle the dispute. This case is not to -be narrowed to the bounds of the Household Narrative. If a single newspaper proprietor is to be served as Mr. Charles Dickens is dealt with, whoa , ' turn will come next? We must look to our selves. The Fr nch and Austrian press is used not less harshly, but much more openly; it has its brains blown out in the good old highway man fashion. Our press is, it seems, to be gradually suppressed by the slow poison of protracted law. Let us tape that something will come of Mr. Milner Gib eon's onslaught on the whole system of taxation on literature, of which the Board of Inland Revenue are the administrators. The Chancellor of the Exchequer almost seemed to intimate that relief is contemplated from the advertisement duty, which yields so small an amount to the revenue and is so inconsistent and absurd in its operation. After such an avowal, Mr. Gibson could not very gracefully have pressed his motion to a division last night; and he acted prudently in submit ting to an adjeurnmeat until Wednesday, the 12'h of May, when the whole question must come before the House, which, by that time, will be in possession of the financial plans of our literary Chancellor of the Ex , chequer. CHRONICLE.—The debate of last night on Mr. Milner Gibson's motion led, from the nature of the ease, io no practical result. It is evidently impossible to an ticipate the Budget by taking the initiative of fiscal propositions out of the hands of the Government. Im prudent politicians aho laveured the accession of their pponents to office may take warning from the conse verscee of Lord Derby's appointment. The rffieial right of bringing forward the Budget is in itself a "weer worth contending for. Mr. Disraeli can, to a certain extent, determine the financial policy of the country, and he has at least a monopoly of all possible improve ments during the present year. It is not very probehle that he will ab fish the excise on paper, and it may be still more unlikely that he will remove the stamp trom newspapers; but perhaps he will not reject the oppor• !unity ot purchnsing support by some popular or pleusi tile remission of burdens. It was easy fur the Chauceller of the Exch. quE.r to show the inutility of Mr. Gibson's motion, but we can by no means admit that the principles 'ul l d int r i r o e i i n c s t t . t e p t e s us x i t s e ef s t vi i i e) o t rr i n wt i , u ha b g er u l ' de til s o u n, n t ' at t i j u h l u r e d :e f x a d irt taxation are so unsettled as he wishes to repreaera almost requiring ag e r . eti ng l ge c ni every sert general indirect reduction that or abn abolition. Committee ex pediency of an income-tax; and it cannot be denied that com petent reasoners are satisfied that the exietieg taxes on consumption bear a sufficiently large proportion to the aen , ral revenue of the country, and that at present they exceed, with few exceptions, the revenue standard, that is, the most profitable rate of assessment. The injustice rand inexpediency which are commute to nearly all these im posts sufficiently explain the zealous demands of the respective advocates of various fiscal reductions. Whether we to to tea, to beer, to wine, or to paper, we find an excessive and impoliic tax; and all that can be alleged in defence of the best . of these duties is, that others stand mire urgently in need of revision. With eat pledging ourselves to the opinion that Mr. Milner Gibson's clients are entitled to preference, we admit that their case is a strong one. Altheugh the description of certain stamp and excise ditties at a taxes on knowledge" is unobjectionable as a rhetorical figure, the mere political economist will find it more convenient to re gard them as burdens on certain kinds of production and consumption. Knowledge is a good thine; but, so long as indirect taxes are imposed, they must be levied on good things—or, in other words, on articles which conduce to the enjoyment or benefit of the community. Cheap reading is nor, a more sacred object than cheap., eating or drinking. It is desirable th st, fiscal regulations shoeld impose as slight a eaeck xs possible on any of these blameless occupations; hut if the Excise and Customs are to b meat:matted, financiers can only select the less productive nod more oppressive duties for removal. It roust be admitted that muca mey be said in favour of choesing the Excise on paper for early abolition. Iu that case, however, the protective Customs duty on foreign paper ought certainly to he rem ived at the same time; for it would be every way unreasonable to give the papermakers of this country a monopoly at the very moment when the demand fir their products would be greatly increased. Tnsre are many purposes of utility and lexury to which paper might be applied if it were sufficiently cheap; and there can be no doubt that, as in the case of glass, the remeval of the duty would multiply the uses to which the commodity is pat. There are, however, peculiar considerations exclusively concerning these kinds of paper which are speken of as the instruments of knowledge. In one sense, paper is a finished manufacture; but Its regards books, it is a raw in Aerie!. The duty on pep7r must be paid before it reeehes the printer, who is himself rather a producer than a consumer. The eoesipenee is, that books which are never reatiiied by the general purchaser 1 tree sexed, in their maternal, tarough the nsanufeciurer sper. Tne publisher who sells only 100 conies of a work out of 1,000 must, in the first instance, have paid the duty on the whole number printed—of course at the expense of the purchaser, who is thus taxed for those copies which he has not bought, as well as for the one which be possesses. This hardship arises from the speculative nature of the book trade, and from the con seqeent impossibility of adjusting production to cart suixipaon. A brewer pays the milt tax befere sells.. his beer; but he knows exsetly the quantity which l be required. No amount of sagacity, however, will en able Messrs. L eigmen or Mr. Merrey to foresee whe therthe tax weich they have paid be the purchaseec esdary, their piper will ever be replaced; and it ia n n ineurauce " t he duty ust tax upon therefore, to i t g o o r , a n i t s i e ng t o h n e t piroiscss. In twohkiss, manner becomes a compound, and therefore an une ,te . that the knowledge. It has sometimes been sugge evil might be remedied if the duty on publicetions printing were levied on books and_ ether sp. it is how before they left the publisher's wareh u h u ope at no ' distant ever, scarcely probable that, with the would consent to time of abolishing the duty, the trade the unwelcome pre an innovation which would involver Be this as it twice of the exciseman on theirllp t e o consider how tar may, Mr. Disraeli would do A w n e w its( g rievances is borne paper ased . for his general scepticism as to "a lv a attending the tax on out by the peculiar circumstan , ng in amount, paper.

Light rain is now falling, and it is hoped that 'he remainder of the day, at least, may be rainy. The ground requires a great deal of moisture after the long irought.
