SATURDAY EVENING, THE INCOME TAX. We are very much mistaken if the tenacious obduracy of certain parties on the question of a rectified income tax does not ultimately prove productive of similar re sults to those experienced by landed proprietors in re spect of the corn-duties. Year after year, when the gross injustice of th e actua l tax was demonstrate d , an d vari ous expedient s suggested for mitigating the pressure upon the gener a l coneumer, a resolute and successful op position was organised against all proposals. Sliding scales were sneered at, colonial relaxations complained of, and fixed duties repudiated with abhorrence. The end of it was, that th e country secured absolute f ree d om o f trade, and Prot ec ti on i sts were left so hopelessly stranded that even acces s i on to office could do nothing towards setting the m afleat again. E xact l y i n t h e same course have matters bee n p roceeding on the suaject of direct taxation. Offici a l financiers would hear of no modifica lion whatever of their traditional principles, and have peristed to this moment in declaring, before the face of a sober and mercantile people that 1,0001. a year derived from land was precaely the same as 1,0001. a year made across a counter, and worth nothing more. The curh4e sequence is, that the question has now been stirred and discusses to its very uttermost depths, aura the public mind, instead of being restricted in its views to the dif ference between 1001. and interest and the interest of 100/, is now directed towards a discriminating survey of every species of property and possession. In another part of our columns will be found evidence of the advanced st age at which the inquiry has alrea d y arrived, wed many rea d ers, we doubt not, w ill wonder to what abstruse comp utat i ons Mr. Parr's letter addresses itself. We do not p ropose, on the present occasion, to enter minutely into t h e di spute referred to. It w i ll b e quite clear to thos e w h o h ave kept pace with the discus sion that Mr. Farr m a i nta i ns his ground against his op ponents, but he d escen d s from his "approximaive to assessable values" to the expression of a simple truth, which will come home to the feelings of every man in the country. " Every p erson, " says he, "of common sense I meet, knows perfectly well that the income from trade is worth lees than an equivalent income from laud, and feels that the man with a life interest ought to be taxed less." Of course he ought. The tax professes to be a tax upon property, the difference between various species of property being recognized by the addition of the term " income." One man has a certain description of property producing 1001. a year, which he could turn income, but his property in it cou ld not be turne d i nto s re cl a c d l. ily y in e t t, o i t n he a sum 3,. ; the ; another has a like yearly " value of a thing" is proverbially recognized as "wh at i t will bring " these two species of property aro asses se d a li ke. Be it remembered that these very statesmen who ex patiate so fluently on the " notorious impossibility" of distinguishing between income and property, have actu ally achieved the impossibility itself in the terms of their own Act. There are already certain distinct schedules for different kinds of property and income, and a man returns his taxable receipts under one or other of these, according to his position. When it is wished to ascer tain our rateable capacities no difficulty is made in pro viding distinctions, but when it comes to an adjustment of the dues fairly payable from each, we are told that distinctions are beyond the reach of political arithmetic. A man without a sovereign in the world is not permitted to say to the collector "I have no property;" the col lector circumvents him, and says, "V ery poss ib ly; b ut from week to week you may be getting just as much profit, pro under fitfromy the oiir name labou of `income,'raswill keep you afloat, and this it has been thought will find every provided expressly t t l o t tmcseteatxy. your r s e c ci h o e i d r u e oa l e , e b t h t s e , r a e n f odr provided pos sible description of ' income' included in its clauses.' But here the discrimination stops. Th e l aw can clas sify property most ingeniously for the sake of declaring it taxable, but not at all for the sake o apportioning taxation. Schedules A. B. C. and 1). are all carefully prepared for catching every species of self-supporting Englishmen, but to make the classes under A. B. C. and D. pay pro portionate rates of contribution is declared to be alto gether impracticable. The advocates of this remarkable system of finance have one reason and one proof. Their reason for so legislating is, that it is " impossible" to legislate other wise, and their proof of the " impossibility" is that Mr. Pitt thought just the same. Mr. Pit t t h ought it would be madness to attempt a discrimination between property and income. But Lord Melbourne once thought it would be " madness" to repeal the corn laws, and the Duke of Wellington declared it would be " madness" in him to undertake the office of Prime Minister. Never theless, his Grace became Prime Minister to very good purpose, and the corn-laws were repealed to a purpose which every family in the kingdom is now feeling. We entertain, therefore, a most profou n d conviction that, notwithstandieg the illustrious precedents for obliquity of vision in this particular, the next three years wilt not pass over without a very practical refutation of the doc trine referred to; and we suspect, indeed, as we have already observed, that the " possibility" of far more critical distinctions than that between half-crowns and half-sovereigns will be demonstrated in the face of day. " Public opinion," observes Mr. Farr on this matter, "is now in process of formation?' The " opinions" dis cussed by our able correspondent have doubtless yet to be realized and embraced, but on the main point of the question opinion has been formed long ago. As Mr. Farr himself acknowledges, there is " not a person of common sense to be met with" who does not even now feel that to tax precarious earnings as absolutely equi valent to solid property is a monstrous wrong. No Englishman can ever be persuaded that 1001, a-year re ceived in wages for labour, which depends on all the variable conditions of health and demand, is as good as 1001. a year derived from capital in the funds or landed possessions. It is an insult to his judgment to argue such a point with him. In the sense in which " property " is to be understood as constituting its possessor a contributor to the public revenue, it is obvious that there must be several descrip tions of such goods. Whether these can ever be so classified as to prevent all risk of injustice may be doubtful, as it is doubtful also in every other known de partment of economical science whether absolute perfec tion bo attainable. But the difficulty of attaining to perfection will be no longer making no improvement at all upon what is incon testably:the maximum of imperfection. Already our statesmen are discovering that they in this, as in many other matters, are surpassed by private individuals.. Mr. his cal- Farr, it will be seen, is ready, for hi m self end leagues, to demonstrate that his rule is, at any rate, " twice as near perfect accuracy as the system now in t accepted as an excuse for operation," and, if such a rule is to be rejected. it nis The question can no longer be stifled as impracticable or be so in favour or " closed." It has been opened and handled to very good purpose, and direct taxation will only be tolerated based in future as a means of raising revenue when fiscal upon those principles of equity by which all the . transactions of a free countought country to be regulated. — Times. et one which is nearer still.able TO article T H E Sir,—TheEDlTOßiz or THE TIMES. he Income and he • Times on t Property-tax was as correct in its technical statements as in its general' and sound , 0 w riter re qui:es no aid to assiat him principles. . " such absur dities as have appeared in in demolishing tem 1 poraries; but I have just seen the Eco nomis t dai t ly an c, ~ beg to call your attention to ono or two instancesnomis , a 1 of inconceivable ignorance in the writer for acommercial eper. Take, p . ter instance, this sente all in come at 33 years' purchas e , and taxing it at an equal rate, is really to tax the community, not a ccording to its varying wealth, year by year, b ut a ccording to au arbitrary average of its wealth through 33 years." New, when an annuity or an estate is said to be worth 33 years' purchase, this has no reference to the average income through 33 years; what is me ant, of cours e, is, that all the rents for 30, 60, 100 an unlimited number of years—are worth 33 times the year ' s rent. Every surveyor, valuer, and ac tuary i n the country knows what " years' parchase" is, and such an error is discre ditehle to the press. You will notice that we do not propose to cspitalizs all incomes at thirty-three ye a rs' purchase; three per cent. is not the basis of the plan proposal in the draught report It is only assumed for the sake of illustration. Whatever reasoning there is in the Economist article goes against all valuations whatsoever. It proves—if it proves. anything—the absurdity of the G overnment and all other v a l uat i ons of annuities for life, for terms of Years, and for ever. The coun try cannot be value of the property of the deter • mined exactly, but the values of p arts of it are dete • retuned every day with sufficient exactness for the purposes of commerce; an d fo r PUjflg of taxation the p there is rom the rent, assuredly no difficulty in g etting income, or sale value, a sufficiently near approximation to the assessible value. We b re is a certain ascertain that in a given year tee amount of property in the country, in the possession of certain individuala, and we call up on each to pay in proportion t o the amount of that property in his posses elan, because that is the best measure of his ability, of the amount of protect i on which he obtains, of the loss which he would sustain if the protection of society were withdrawn. One might s u pp ose th a t there was somethin g new in the proposal to capitalize incomes or dividends in order to dete rm i ne their relative value, whereas it is the basis of nearly all the transactions o f the day. The land agent capitalizes the net rents in all his valuations, so does ,the t h e price of the funds, of the house agent; Long Annuities, of life annuities saleable by the Go vernment is the capitalized value oft dividends. w e prop ose to treat life incomes from professions as life an nuities, and to give them the s ame value as such annui ties at so me risk—covered by 5 per cent. interest, in stead of 3, which is the rate when there is no risk. By this hypothesis, which wo adept for the sake of its sim plicity, we overrate the value of such incomes, as com pared with incomes derived purely from the interest of cr'ney or the rent of land. You will observe that in all valuations —such as in life annuities—there is all assumed uniform rate of iii terest, which may b e somewhat too high or too low for the period to which it is applied. But over a series of years the interest and the capital bear a pretty constant relation to each other; so that in all cases the tax may be (gsti - tably rated on the 'Ulu° of the property, or on the net interest—that is, the income as it is popularly celladt minus a deduction for capital returned, and pre minus to in sure t h e ca pital at risk. Thus, if 1,0001. in perfect security returns 301. a year in int e r est , a tax of U. per 1,000/. on pr operty would give the same re turn as a tax of 1-30th on the income. So in life annuities, n est short annuities of all kinds, a tax rated on the interest gives the same produce as a tax rated on t h e cap i ta l, on an average, provided that the rat© on the property is 1-33 d, 1-25th, 1-20th 9 &c,, of the rate on the interest. It is one of illr. Babbage's errors that " all income is "Rua'," and that the " e xpenditure" is to be paid out of th " o income of the year." This is a curious paradox in England, where so much of our actual income for the SEPTEMBER 4, 1852, present year is taken as a set-off to the expenditure of the last and the beginning of the present century. We quite agree t h a t, t o b e exac t, the incomes in diM rent professions should be valued on different bases; but eve are quite satisfied with a rule which we can demon strate—brings us twice as near perfect accuracy—as the intelligible principle n ow i n operat i on, an d h as a so l i d principle for the basis of its operations—in use by the Government in the sale of life annuities and the valua tion of legaci es —i n use b y all insurance-cffices—in use among thousands of friendly societies. All who are in favour of free trade and the extension of its principles aro bo un d to support a system o f di re ct saxatt• n. And the b es t support to g i ve it i s to ma k e i t just —as fair and equitable as is practical. Every person of common sen©e I meet knows perfectly well that the income from trade is worth less than an equivalent in come from money or land; and feels that thu man with a life interest ought to be taxed less. I have the honour to be, Sir, yours, &c.. WILLIAM FARR. General Register-office, Sept. 2. REVISION OF TILL' LISTAS 0F VOTERS.

The Postmaster-General having suspected that fraud to a considerable extent had been committed by some official connected with the Post-office at Ips wich, Mr. John Ramsey, the Inspector-General of Post-offices, was sent down to Ipswich on Monday last for the purpose of detecting the guilty party. On his arriving at Ipswich he proceeded to maks in quiries, which eventually led him to make up two Packets, addressed to parties in London. These packets he sent to the Post , office about twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning by a man named Morphew, who was directed to have them weighed and stamps put upon them by the clerk in the office. Mr. Ramsey also gave the man two shil lings and two sixpcnccs marked, with instructions to pay the postage out of that. Morphew accordingly delivered the packets at the office to a desk named Frederick Joseph Sheldrake, who, having weighed them, demanded IQ. Bd. for the stamps required to be put upon them. The sum demanded was accordingly paid to Sheldrake by Morphew with the marked money, there being no other person in the office, as alleged, but Sheldrake at the time. Morphew imme diately returned to the Inspector-General, who was in waiting at the police station, to whom he gave the change he bad received from Sheldrake. About an hour afterwards the Inspector-General went to the post-office, and informed the parties in at tendance who he was, at the same time asking for the packets he had sent by Morphew. Mr. Fitch, the postmaster, produced them, and Mr. Ramsey at once saw that the stamps upon them had been previously made use of. He then inquired for Sheldrake, and on being informed that he had left for dinner the Inspector-General, accompanied by Super.. intendant Mason, of the borough police, left the office and proceeded to Sheldrake's house, and communi cated to him the object of their visit. Sheldrake, u p on being told that he must be searched, voluntarily produced from his pockets upwards of 200 penny and t w o penny postage stamps, all of which bore the oblite rating mark. The police superintendent then searched him, and found upon him money amounting to 151., among which was found one of the marked shillings. Sheldrake w as th en given into custody on a charge of having embezzled the s hilling , the property of her Majesty, and h e was at once removed to the stat_ton red moneyhouse. the After second a m furthera k mi nute madsehailtling examination of the was found.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said h e was " not guilty. " The magistrates refused to accept bail, as it was inti mated by Mr. Ramsey that there was another charge of a similar character against him. The prisoner, who is respectably connected, his been in the pswich post-office for five years, and Mr. Fitch, the postmaster, stated he had never had any reason to suspect his honesty till now. The prisoner was mar ried about three weeks since. TO THE EASTERN UNION SHARE HOLDERS. In the report of the Eastern Counties Railway it is said, whenever the Eastern Union feel themselves in a position to enter into negotiations based upon the prin ciple of apportioning to that company what their hue is capable of earning, your directors will readily meet them, and if the two boards cannot agree what wo u ld b e a fair apportionment, your board will be prepar e d to re commend to the propek tors that it should b 3 l e ft to a gentleman of high standing to determine the question. Let us exert ourselves at once to see this most fair and business-like offer carried out, and save the r emnant of our property, which is being daily further w aste d by a most unequal competition of ru inous fares; o ur r i vals the Eastern Counties not having even altered theirs, and yet have taken 1,0001, a week m ore than last year.

" bur - IRISH IMMIGRATION. On Thursday an inquest was held by Mr. W. Baker, at the Green Gate, City-road, on view of the body of Patrick O'Hearn, 10 years old, who died on his return with his mother to the parish of St. Luke, Old street, from Ireland, where they had been sent under an order of removal. Some of the guardians and other parochial officers were present. Patrick O'Hearn, of 9, Elizabeth -court, Whitecross-street, said that the mother of the deceased came to him about two o'clock that morning with deceased in her arms, and stated that he had been dead some hours. • She had an other child with her, five years old. She and her husband were sent to Ireland by tho parish about a year ago. His brother had since died. Mary Leary, about twenty years of age, said that she accom panied the mother of the deceased on her journey from Ireland. They left Cork last Friday week in a sailing vessel, and arrived at Newport, in Wales, On the follow ing Wednesday. The deceased was in good health when ho started, as was also the other child. They walked the whole distance from Neeeport to London. Witness carried deceased on her back nearly all the way, and his mother carried the other child. On Tuesday de ceased was very sick, and had great looseness in his bowels. The last day, Wednesday, they started at five o'cclock in the morning and walked nearly forty miles. When they arrived at Kensington they went into a chemist's shop to gat some medicine for deceased, when they were told the child was too tar gone, and that nothing could be done for its reliof ; at Hyde-park-corner they found deceased dead. Some ladies and gentlemen gave them halfpence. On one night they slept in a union workhouse. Every other night they slept in a barn or stable. A young girl who came with them was left at Maidenhead, as she was exhausted, having been seized in the same way that deceased was. Eleanor O'Hearn, deceased's mother, stated that her husband died soon atter her arrival in Ire land, upon her removal by the parish officers of St. Luke. She must have starved with her two children, at Cork, where she was not known. She left be cause she thought she could maintain her children in London, when she spoke to the clergyman who paid her passage to Newport. She came to England at the age of 13 years. She married when she was 17, and she had lived 27 years in the parish of St. Luke's, part of which time she had paid rates, and her family are buried there. Fourteen months ago her husband was taken ill, when they all went into the workhouse. They were soon after removed to Ireland. The Coroner observed that no one could blame the clergyman for as sisting the mother of the dece ased, nor co u ld they .blame her for returning after having been 27 years in the parish. Mr. John Courtenay, surgeon to the workhouse, said that the child died from exhaustion, consequent on the vomiting and purging, together with the absence of proper food. Had the deceased received proper atten tion it mi g ht h ave b e en then alive. Deceased w as much emaciated. Verdict—" That the deceased died from exhaustion, brought on by neglected d'arrbm3. --______ ROYAL WOOLWICH, Sept. 3.--The whole of the field batteries ARTILLERY. in the garrison here assembled in heavy marching order at 10 o'clock, A.M., to-day, and proceeded to the Com mon, where they wore draw n u p, in lino is o p en order, with the spare men and horses in the rear, under the command of Lieutenant - C olo Commandant of the olonel Gar nc.d Anderson.

We are thus enabled to draw a P more than a century 0 lastcentury, and the middle of fiddle of the tions of themtltry. The old Lloyd's List appears to have tolerably accor.ato the between the shipping opera the present c t en that was published once in the week. It is been the no narrow slip of paper about a foot in length; m i n ted 0 0 - • • 'des containing the price of bullion and the stocks, and. i „ a besi e rates of exchange on foreign countries ; these ar othside. On the reverse is what was then termed "the on n _ e List,„ which gives a list of 23 arrivals and 12 de. 111ari partures at English ports, with 34 ships at anchor in the j, wa s. There are also notices of four arrivals in Irish and foreign ports, with advice of three British ships taken by the enemy's privateers. Turning from this do cument, which gives a week's news, to one of the year 1800, published daily, we find it contains on an average notices of 75 ships. This was in time of war; and comparing numbers, we find the ships noticed as ten to one against the previous date. Following up the comparison, we turn to a Lloyd's List for 1850; one of the fullest of these covered 15 pages in the arrivals and loss books for one day, giving the names of about 460 vessels—being six times the number of those in 1800, and as numerous as the lists of one entire year in the pre vious century.—Dickens's" Household Words." COLONIES.—It appears frofroma retur n t o th e H ouse of Commons, which has been printed in continuation of part of a Parliamentary paper, No. 239, of the sess i on of 1849, that the number of her Majesty's troops employed in the colonies in the year 1847-48, was 1,655 officers and 39,591 non - com missioned officers and m en ; in 1848-49 there were 1,712 officers and 39,400 non- commissioned officers and men; and in 1849-50, 1,675 officers and 38,752 men.

To require such writers to be just and reasonable, and then to expect them to be brilliant, would be as, droll a mista'ae es th at told of a well known personage, who, full of admiration for Punch, and wishing to enjoy his perf o r mance more frequently ' and more at ease, bought him at the corner of a street. carried him home, and subsequently com plained that ho could not make him speak. There is but oce method by which geniuses so fervid and tempers at once so active and so acrid can find a vent for their utmost energy, without the necessity of distorting facts, or the risk of compromising the national peace. That method is so select for vilifi cation only such subjects as admit of no second opinion when once their concealed er usobaerved enormities have been dragged to public view. Now, on t h e matter of sinecures we perceive that our ountem porary has said some very just things the other day in a style of indignant eloquence, and Mr. Moore was very severely handled. Let our contemporary not abandon this fertile theme. Let us have some more sinecurists withered; and since the clerical holders of sinecures have had the first blow, let the lay holders, in all fairness, feel the next; and so by turns, the whole world of corrupt indolence shall be shaken to its centre. To mention an instance at ran dom, bat still a gigantic instance—there is Mr. Gre ville. What does that amiable gentleman do, or what has he ever done, that he should yearly receive 2,0001. of the public money, under the mere style (for it is no more) of enacting clerk to the Privy Council? We be lieve we state the exact truth when we say, that the only service imposed upon that gentleman in return for this rather considerable yearly salary is the service of buttoning it up in his breeches pocket. Then there is the further annual payment to him of 3,000/. of public money, :or no service at all. Whoever be the indi vidual, common sense tells us that it were 3.0001. a year too much ; but what shall be said when it is the same person, the very same Mr. Greville already mentioned as holder of another sinecure of 2,0001. per annum, who is also holder of this 3,0001.? What, more over, when the latter 3,000/ a year are derived from an impoverished and ruined island, which is forced in its adversity to bear this preposterous burden still? Mr. Greville receives that sum yearly from Jamaica; and has received it, for doing nothing, these twenty five years. To him, at least, Jamaica has furnished sugar, and has furnished it gratuitously, to the amount of 75,000/. sterling. Of pounds of sugar you have here some 5,000,000 ; a treasure with which the nation parts to an individual, for no assignable reason at all, and at the peculiar cost of a ruined and miserable dependency. We do not know with what f ee li ngs the holder of these 5,0001. sterling of gratuitous public money may regard Mr. Moore, or any other sinec ur i st . Mr. Moore at least pays his subordi nates for performing certain 11 we -known duties. But, while we are convinced that Mr. Greville would not have written the articles which a na y against M r . M oore ( p o P r ea i r t ed in our ccntempo onild have been a mockery), we feel imp e ll e d to commend h r. Greville him self arid his life-long sinecures to the attention ten d tion of the writer (whoever he be), who every other 'starts facts in the columns of our contempor ary for the po se should seem, of rendering a good un d e rstanding, asit 9n the part of France towards England, hopeless and impos sible. We m y " distorts facts." For example, our con temporary stated the other day that the monument of the Duke d'Eng'nien had, at midnight, by the h an d s of soldiers, been removed from the chapel where it was erected, for the purpose of effacing an object which continually reminded men of a p assage in the life of the Emperor, better forgotten. Arid in order to make the meaning of this charge quite unequivocal, we would ask our readers, if they b e i n doubt, to look again at our contemporary's article, where they will find a menacing peroration to the effect that there is no blotting out the remembrance of events like this, and that the hearts of men were its monuments. Now, what says our contemporary? It acknowledges that the monument is still in the chapel, but in another part of the chapel. The fact is that the simple change effected was purely and entirely an architectural arrange ment. And in this consisted the felon act, the base and heartless vindictiveness towards the very ashes of the dead, respecting which our contemporary can afford to be so elcquent ! We may spare our commentary. 'Mis representations so wilful, so perverse, and so malignant, defeat themselves.—fierald. ALARMING EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on the bcdy of Charles Noble Farebrother, aged thirty, rnathemt.tical instrument maker, who lost his life by an explosion on the premises of Mr. Darker, of No. 9, Paradise-street Lambeth-walk. Henry Sexton, of No. 10, John-street, Lambeth, a brass-finisher, stated that he had known the deceased about three years, and had worked with him in the service of Mr. Darker. On Thursday afternoon last, deceased had charge of a wrought-iron boiler, which was intended for an hydro-electric machine, ordered for the University College, Cambridge, which they were fitting up ac cording to the original plan. The deceased was at the forge about three o'clock in the afternoon, and had charged the boiler (which was only nine inches in dia meter) with the usual quantity of water, for the pur pose of testing it, when witness said, " Charley, how is the steam ?" when the deceased replied, " Oh, just up." Witness left the forge to go to the vice, when Mr. Darker entered the shop, and in about a minute afterwards a loud explosion took place. Witness ran towards the forge, but the smoke and dust wore so thick he could not see them for a few minutes. The forgo was blown down, and a portion of the roof had been carried away. Witness heard the deceased calling for help, and exclaim " Drag me out." Witness then discovered the deceased nearly covered with bricks and rubbish, and with diffi culty got him out into the yard. He groaned, and seemed much injured by the weight which had fallen hwoasspictaalll.edvv, withneosasdcvoiusledd notthe a d c e o c o e n a u s e t d upon him.

SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT. -The Thursday evening express train, from Euston- square to Manchester, , ran off the line at about nine o'clock at night, when it had the p thep reached a point about three miles north of Crewe, and was travelling at a rate of 40 miles an hour. It seems that a buffer with a long iron rod attached to it, left probably by a train that had preceded the express, was laid on one portion of the line. The iron guard in front of the engine struck it, and the engine -driver becoming aware of the circumstance, kept a sharp 100k -out. After running 200 yards further, he found so much cause for alarm that he at once put on his break and reversed his engine, bringing up the train in about 100 yards further. The moment of stoppage was a critical one, for on getting to the front of the engine he d i scove t red o that one of the fore-wheel guards was broken, fore-wheels were off the line, and had got deeply em in the ballast, which was thrown around in large quantities, h t o the annoyance and found its way into the carriages, mu- ,iii, passengers, and subsequent alarm of the occupants. and tireddwed who were detained about two hours, testified their approba tion the guard had procured assi s t ance f rom C rewe , teatffi tion of th e conduct of the e ngine-driver, ithou almost blinded with sand, who remained on his by su b scr ibi n g a engineha ndsome until he had stopped suns gh of money on the spot, b u t w h en i t was o ff ere d to him he declined to take it.
