What will be done with the I mg interest. Tax ? The inquiry is one u e ( une and p r of absorb. oPerty On the answer that may be returned dep en d s the fate We have already of the Ministry, and (far more im P" t ant) the and prosperity of the country. welfare whether Whig. proved that the tax must be renewed i n some f ort , No Chancellor of the Exchequer, a-half Tory, or Radical, can afford to abandon so profitable a source of revenue, from whence five and millions aro annually obtained. Mr. DISRAELI will certainly make no such attempt. He will rather seek to remit some of the most obnoxious imposts, to re lieve those who are suffering under gross and palpable injustice —and there is much injustice in our present fis cal system—than to impose new and pi irbaps more in. equitable charges, either upon the entire comnann or upon any particular class or classes.. It is certain that no d u ty on hu man f oo d w ill be proposed-, _ for l the either - purpose of Revenue or Protection. The recent E ectlop has effectually and permanently disposed of ~.-;:' THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 8 5 that subjtct. Lord DERBY long since—in the beginning of March, 1851 when announcing the failure of the attempt to form a Protec tionist Ministry, emphatically stated, that un less the country, on the next appeal, pronounced distinctly in favour of the principle, the question - - - - should be set at rest for ever. What bas since oc- curred shows that the declaration was made in the most perfect sincerity—that the most talented col league of the Noble Lord fully concurred in the decision, and that the new policy has been accepted by every person of any importance or influence con nected with the party. In the absence, then, of such impost, the Property-tax mast be renewed, either in in its present or some modified form, unless we are prepared to submit to a permanent deficiency, and a regularly increasing excess of expenditure a course which Mr. DISRAELI will not be prepared to propose er sanction. Will it then be renewed in its present form ? Such a proposition might emanate from Sir CHARLES WOOD,—who so frequently showed his stubborn and unyielding obstinacy on the point, and who pre ferred the destruction of the Cabinet of which he was a Member, to any graceful concession to public opinion,—but not from Mr. DISRAELI. That Right Hon. Gentleman was one of the Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the tax, and to consider by what means it might be'rendered more equitable ; he is, therefore, thoroughly cognizant of the injustice and impolicy of the present system, and also of the various remedies that have been submitted for its amelioration. He has had ample time to reflect thereon ; and has, doubtless, fully determined on the plan on which he will stake his fiscal reputation, and the permanence of the Government. _ That, however, still rests in his own mind, or has only been cotamu nicated to a few leading Members of the Ministry The public, however, have as yet no certain data, we can therefore only speculate on what ought to be, taking into account the disturbing influences that will operate unfavourably to, and very probably pre vent the adoption of, any sound and equitable adjust ment. Mr. DISREALI is not one to exclaim, " Video rneliora proboque, deteriora sequor." We do not believe that he would willingly bring forward a mea sure of which he did not conscientiously approve ; but great allowance must be made for his position, and the materials with which he is obliged to work ; and we fear that complete justice cannot be ren dered to the industrious classes in a Parliament constituted as it now is. Considerable progress may, however, be made in the right direction, and that we anticipate from the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Tax, then, will be modified, and most probably increased to some extent, and rendered more general in its application. There can be no sufficient reason why Ireland should be exempted from its operation. Assistance, and that of the most valuable description, might be rendered to the people, and to the full extent of the amount levied ; but property, wherever situated, is the legitimate subject of taxation—end exemption to Ireland is neither more nor less than gross injustice to Great Britain. We know not whether Mr. DISRAELI will take this view of the subject; but should he do so, he will be sustained by the Parliament and people of the United Kingdom. And even in Ireland the measure would be popular when it was ascertained that Ministers were in Earnest in their efforts to de velope fully the great, but sadly neglected, natural resources of the country. The basis of the taxation will also probably be ex tended-1001., or perhaps 601., per annum being made the starting point in place of 1501. as at present. The number of contributors would thereby be doubled or, if the smaller sum were selected, trebled by the change. It would be far better that no exemption whatsoever should be allowed. It is in consequence of the " exemption " that fraudulent evasions are chiefly resorted to. But so long as " in come" is taxed as well as property, there must be exemptions. There is a scale of earning so low that it cannot be charged. We cannot come on the wages of the labourer earning 15s. or 203. per week. If accumulated and realized property alone were taxed, and industry freed, until its profits were in vested, when they would of course become liable— the exemptions might be abolished, and the evasions would be hardly practicable. It has been truly stated, that the "returns under Schedule A are made by disinterested, under Schedule D by interested, parties. In the one case there is great facility for detection, in the other detection is very difficult." Mr. PRESSLY, in his evidence on the subject of eva sion, says—" We get every penny upon the dividend, and every penny upon a man's salary; all that we do not know is the profits of a man's trade, but in all the other schedules it is collected to a penny without any disclosure whatever." Mr. TILL gives similar testi mony. He says " Under Schedule A there is little or no difficulty. A man produces his lease, and the question is settled as to the value of his property; but with regard to Schedule D, there is no doubt that considerable difficulty presents itself in the Commissioners satisfying themselves that they are making a right decision; it in reality must be taken, generally speaking, according to the conscience or Trill of the party who comes to appeal or make the return." The frauds and evasions, so demoralizing in their operation—the inquisitorial character of the Tax, so loudly and justly complained of—are all ascribable, therefore, to the attempt to tax industry ; and all the reasonable objections to the impost would be at once removed, by rendering it really a property and not an Income-tax. The reduction would not be so very great. The amount of temporary incomes from trades and pro fessions, &c., may be taken in round terms at one third of that arising from accumulated and realized property. This is the proportion generally adopted, and it nearly agrees with that of Mr C. Weeldeu, whose excellent letter on the subject appeared in our impression of yesterday. Mr WiLLicer is a compe tent witness ; he has entered into very elaborate cal culations on the subject, which he thoroughly under stands. If, then, anything like a fair allowance were made for the difference between fixed and permanent incomes and fluctuating and temporary—if the latter were only charged at one-sixth, or even one-fourth, of the former (either being much higher than its just proportion), the total abolition of the tax on income would only lessen the receipts by one-eighteenth or one-twelfth of the total amount to be received. But as the capital embarked in trade, commerce, manufac tures, or agriculture, would still be fairly chargeable, the loss would be far less—not more, probably, than one-thirtieth or one-fortieth part of the entire receipts a matter of comparatively trivial importance, when compared with the vast benefits that would result from rendering industry perfectly free, and conciliating the affectionate respect of the working classes for the honest Parliament that recognized their claims. The frauds and evasions, too, would be avoidel the demoralizing influence that unfortunately induces so many of our fellow-subjects to become habitual violaters of the law of the land would also be removed. These blessings would be cheaply purchased at a much higher price than one-thirtieth of the charge; but even for that there would be an ample equivalent in the removal of all exemptions. Property, whether real or personal, if producing only a single pound per annum, is fairly liable to taxation; and there would be no necessity, in such case, for either exemption or graduation of the Tax. Both, however, become essential, or at least judicious and proper, when industry is charged. We, therefore, feel convinced, that as much, if not more, would be realized by a Property tax alone a Property and Income-tax. Can there, doubt or difficulty as to what then, than be by any course ought to be pursued ? What will be done is another question. We fear that the masses are not sufficiently represented, or the humble voter suffi ciently protected in the exercise of the franchise, to induce the Legislature to take so sagacious and equi table a view of the subject. There is still too much class legislation. The Parliamentary Dives is sticaeatareacde andrealized yet prepar e d t o relinquish his hold on the pursenef of t the the g Lax `32 trus, or to place the entire liquidation of the ed eteheee Bboeunedontented prirminatiOnal liabilities, and the main national establishments, en accumu pwriotpherty. The people must there by moderat e instalments:l' gradual approximation to pi e, and t o o b ta i n t h e i r j ust r i g h ts ;y, ous among the Citizens of the United States in our gene ration shouldhave passed awayalmost immediately afte r the display of the most lamentable incapacity as an ad ministrator. Had DANIEL WEBSTEU expired only a few months previous to the actual period of his de mise, he would have left a reputation unmarred by the remembrance of many undignified blunders, and much unstatesmanlike vituperation. It is a curious circumstance, however, that the renowned orator has disappeared from the stage of life under an aspect somewhat similar to that which marked the closing scene in the existence of one of his most eminent contemporaries. QUINCEY ADAMS died, it will long be borne in recollection, but very shortly after the utterance of those intemperate words of scorn directed against Great Britain, which all but rang the tocsin of war, and all but lighted one of those brands of popular fury,?,which, in the generality of instances, re quire the exhaustion of rivers of human blood before they can be effectual extinguished. The departure from this world of DANIEL WEBSTER has, in truth, occurred under similar auspices. He has breathed his last, whilst there are still ringing in our recollec tion his haughty and irritating references to the course lately pursued by the English Government. There is another reflection, moreover, which cannol fail to enhance in every generous mind, on hearing of his demise, the consequent and profound sense o. melancholy. His career was incomplete. He fel in the great race before reaching the goal. He has fallen to rise no more ; and this, too, precisely at the very moment when his admirers were looking forward with eager hopes, and some of them with confident expectations, that" his dearest wishes would prove to have been on the eve of their realization. His hand was palsied by death at the very instant when it was stretched out to seize the bauble of the four years' power devolving upon the fortunate candidate chosen to the Presidency. Although he had reached the age of seventy—having been born on the 18th of January, 1782, at Salisbury, and having died on the 24th of October, 1852, at Marshfield—DANlEL WEB.. 3TER must still be regarded among the luckless cata logue of those distinguished men who have expired while standing, as it were, on the very brink of the fulfilment of their loftiest ambition. It is true that he has not been stretched in his coffin while yet in the prime and bloom of his manhood—as was the case with poor CHARLES BULLER, when the highest offices of the State seemed opening up to his appreciated abilities as an administrator, or as was the case again with poor WILLIAM FOLLETT, one of the ablest advo cates that ever graced the Bar of England, and who, it can never be forgotten by those who knew and honoured the scope of his commanding intellect, passed away into the grave, while his fingers were actually closing upon the seals and ermine of the Chancellor. Not such, it is true, has been the pre mature decease of DANIEL WEBSTER, but still a de cease eminently sad in its appeal to the popular sympathy—for WEBSTER, at the period of his dissolu tion, was considered by many of his fellow-citizens a likely successor to the curule chair of WASHINGTON. It is interesting, profoundly interesting, to us as fellow-creatures fated to pass through the same mortal extremities, to observe the awful serenity with which the strong Public Man appears to have watched the on-coming moment of his inevitable dissolution. His entreaty to one of his intimate friends, " Don't leave me till I am dead—don't leave Marshfield till I am a dead man"—his muttering to himself in an undertone—" On the 24th of October, all that is mortal of DANIEL WEBSTER will be no more"—his incoherent reminiscence of GRAY'S " Elegy," by re peating indistinctly, " Poet, poetry, GRAY, GRAY"— his joyful recognition of the first line of it when read to him, " That's it, that's it"—are all of them inci dents characteristic of the man of courage and sensi bility, of the scholar and, of the Christian. Imme diately before dissolution, he appears to have spoken of the difficulty of the process of dying; and on the verse being recited to him, "Though I walk through the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me"—he exclaimed, " The fact, the fact! That is what I want ! Thy rod ! Thy rod 1 Thy staff 1 Thy staff!" And these were his last words—and so he ex pired. America, according tq our latest dispatches from the opposite side of the Atlantic, has already evinced her willingness to honour the memory of her great tribune, the departed statesman. The citizens of the United States appear to have understood the worth of his career, the dignity of his intellect, and the sig nificance of his character. They appear to have compre hended to the full the truth that,:in DANIEL WEBSTER, they have lost not merely the most remarkable of their orators, but one of the noblest and one of the truest types of a genuine American. They remem ber the grand old figure of his father—" a remarkable man, six feet in height, and of commanding appear ance," who rose from the rank of a common soldier to that of captain, while fighting bravely under WOLIB during the invasion of the Canadas. They have not forgotten that both EZEKIEL and DANIEL WEBSTER approved themselves in after years the worthy sons of a worthy stock as the offspring of ABIGAIL (nee EASTMAN) and her husband, old EBENEZER—any more than they have forgotten that the second of these eons (the one over whose tomb they are now lamenting) was born, by a coincidence, sufficiently curious as having oc curred to a person so illustrious, in the very last year of the memorable revolution. Everything com bines, indeed, to incite the more public-spirited citi zens of the United States, to evidence, by some honourable tokens of gratitude, the sincerity with which DANIEL WEBSTER is regretted, under every consideration, by the great mass of his fellow-coun trymen. In testimony of the fervour and of the dif fusions of their regrets for the great man recently deceased at Marshfield, we find that everywhere the intelligence of his death was received through out the whole States with marks of the pro foundest dejection. The Courts were at once adjourned at Albany, at Syracuse, at Pittsburgh, and in other localities. The newspapers were published in mourning in Charleston. Meetings in token of respect were forthwith called together in Baltimore. The bells of the churches, of the public buildings, and of the workshops, were all tolled at Harrisburgh. Places of business were closed in Rochester. The county offices were draped in black at Philadelphia. Flogs were half-mast high at New Orleans; the public edifices were closed, and minute guns fired from sunrise to sunset. America gives proof indeed, in all directions, that DANIEL WEBSTER'S demise, in the seventy-first year of his age, is regarded as a public calamity by the vast majority of the United States population. Death has in this manner, towards the close of 1852, overshadowed the Counoils both of the United States and of the United Kingdom—for while America Vi 43 preparing to pronounce by public acts the importance of the Funeral of WEBSTER, England has been engaged in arranging all the necessary preliminaries for the gorgeous and national obsequies of WELLINGTON. THE DUKE or WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL—The works at St. Paul's are being carried on with very much in creased rapidity as the time for their compu'sory termination approaches. Upwards of 700 men were employed in the in terior yesterday, and the number will probably be increased between this end Saturday, when Messrs. Cubitts expect to have finished their labours. The Emperor of Russia has selected. t) attend the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington, three officers of most distinguished service and high rank, namely, General of Infantry Prince Gortzekow ; bfajor- General Count Benkendorf, Imperial Military Commissioner; and a colonel.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLCCK. The cotton market at Liverphol yesterday was steady, and prices underwent no particular change. The sales amounted to 5,000 bales, including 300 Surat for export, and consisting of about :4,500 Am erican, 50 Parnam and Maranham at 6 f id., 12 Bahia at 7d.; 1,800 Egyptian at 71d. to 911 ; 800 Surat at 3d. to 5d.; and 25 Sea Islands at 2s. ld. to 2s. 3d. Railway shares were firm, and a good business was done. The official return of the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom for the month ended Oct. 10th, has been issued. The imports of cocoa amounted to 324,165 lbs, which, as compared with those of the corresponding month of the previous year shows a slight decrease ; and in coffee there was a falling off of 2,438,416 lbs. The imports of wheat increased 15,924 qrs ; cotton manufactures increased to the amount of 9,7701, flax to the extent of 38,219 cwts, hemp 36,485 cwts, linen manufactures to the value of 1,8691., rice to the extent of 81,276 cwts, salt petre 46,779 cwts, raw silk 334,391 lbs, thrown 1,5,375 lbs, European silk manufactures 7,777 lbs. and spirits 38,218 proof gallons. In the imports of sugar there appears a decrease of 64,623 cwts., but in unmanufactured tobacco an increase of 1,723,4391b5. Of wines the imports are less by 311,566 gallons. The exports have been larger in coals and culm, being 433,304 tons, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn by 283,664 lbs., linen yarn by 769,308 lbs., and thrown silk by 4570 lbs., and soap by 4,234 cwts. Refined sugar decreased 9,404 cwts., and woollen yarn 1,886 cwts. In the declared value of the imports of woollen mannfactures, there is an augmentation of 172,8541. The total exports of the month were 7,382,2921. against 6,346,9941., in the corresponding month of 1851. _ The shipping employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom during the month to October 10, amounted to 611,066 tons inwards, and 748,635 tons outwards, against 799,340 tons inwards, and 674,064 ton 4 outwards, at the like period of 1851. The tonnage of vessels employed in the coasting trade entered inwards and cleared outwards during the month, was as follows : ENTERED INWARDS. 1852 ... 1851 ... ... 1,124,581 ... 1,028 952 Increase, ... ... CLEARED OUTWARDS. 1852 ... 1851 ... 95,729 ... 1,273.688 ~.. 1,273,394 Increase this year, ... 294 The demand for bills on India has become more moderate during the last fortnight, the total amount drawn by the Hon. East India Company being only 41,7101., of which 26,195/. were on Bengal. The rate is now 2s. ld. per rupee. The advance expected in the price of silver has taken place, all that was brought by the Magdalena having been sold for shipment to the East Indies. The bar silver was disposed of at ss. lid., an advance of no less than td. per ounce. The dollars were taken at ss. Oid. It is probable that this sudden rise would not have occurred, for it exceeds by far the ordinary movement in the bullion market, if the dealers in India bad not already entered into contracts which compel them to purchase on almost any terms. The demand from that quarter satisfied, there will probably be a reaction, but the ques tion remains what amount will the Indian mar ket really absorb ? The increase of cultivation in our Eastern territories, the formation of railways by means of British capital, and the expenditure for the Burmese war, will all account for the large sums in specie taken from England, as we can hardly MUM that the balance of trade is so far against us as to require these constant remittances. The necessity of increasing our gold coinage, by bringing out 15s. and perhaps even ss. pieces, will force itself ere long upon attention, for should the drain of silver continue, even the alloy in our coin might not pre vent its being purchased for exportation. French 5-franc pieces have already been bought, already yielding scarcely any profit, as upon receipt in India they will be melted down and re-issued in rupees. The English Stock Market has been very quiet, and Consols remain at 1008 1 for transfer, and 1001 I for the December Account.

Their Lordships met shortly after 2 o'clock, when he swearing in of Peers was resumed, which con tinued up to the period of the adjournment. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS DAY.) The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock; but the proceedings of the sitting were exclusively confined to the swearing in of Members. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The civic " show," on Lord Mayor's Day, which Lon doners, for centuries past, have always looked forward to with pretty much the same degree of certainty as they anticipated the return of the four seasons of the year, has actually been dispensed with, and the streets of the great city, to-day, presented a total absence of that ex- citement and bustle which, at least within the recollec tion of the oldest inhabitant, has always been witnessed on the occasion of the . Lord Mayor's trip to Westmin ster, on the 9th of November. The main thoroughf ares were not, as i s ord i nar i ly the COO on the " Show" day s , en ti re ly c l ose d, an d th e traffic through them being wholly uninterrupted, the business in the City was carried on as usual; and no doubt those of the clams who prefer attending to busi ness rather than enga g i ng i n c i v i c process i ons, f elt gratified atthe change. The determination of the Corpo ration to do away with the procession and banquet, on this 9th of November, has certainly met with the public approbation; and it will, perhaps, not be the least honourable record in the annals of the city, that, wedded as they naturally are to old customs, they, out of respect to the memory of the illustrious dead, allowed the day to pass over without any public pageant or feasting. Instead of proceeding by water, the Lord Mayor, and those who on such occasions take part in the prcaes sion, went to Westminster in their private carriages. The new Lord Mayor then proceeded through the hall to the Court of Exchequer, accompanied by the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and the Mace-bearer, and several members of the Court of Al dermen and Common Council. The Judges on the bench were the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin. The RFAIORDER in a brief complimentary address in troduced the new Lord Mayor to the learned barons. He stated that Mr. Alderman Challis, who had been elected to the high office of Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year, was a native of the City of London, and had for many years been respected and honoured by his fellow-citizens, in consequence of his success in business, and his activity and benevolence in connexion with the various charities of London. Upon the death of Mr. Alderman Wood, the Ward of Cripplegate selected Mr. Challis as their alderman, and he had discharged his magisterial func tions most satisfactorily. In 1346, he was elected Sheriff of London ; and he had performed the duties of that important office with great honour to himself. At the last general election he was returned, after a contest, as the representative in Parliament of the Borough of Finsbury, by one of the largest majorities that bad ever sent a Member to that assembly. Ile was subsequently proposed as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and elected wih entire unanimity. In the course of his speech tilt Learned Recorder alluded to the death of the Duke of Wellington in the following terms:—lf his Lordship had not come, upon this occasion, attended by all the pageantry which have severally accompanied his predecessors, it has not been from any desire to abridge in the slightest the just splendour of his office. It has been from a feeling which I am sure your lordships will be tae first to acknowledge—a deferenceto the senti ment which would have forbidden any festive demonstratin while the nation was waiting to pay the last and most solemn tribute of respect to the memory of one of the greatest heroes of the age. The CMIET 13s.uost complimented the Lord Mayor on the high and honourable position which he had attained, and said he had no doubt he would ably acquit himself s. terms, swearing had in forbidden wes they et in the discharg e of his onerous and important dut ies. His lcrdship a lso alluded t o th e recent loss su stained b y the the e n e ti s r e e e ly l daipspprleoyviengedoefr theth present a t i c nation r the feeling T he swe whic he i proceeded with. At the conclusion of th e cerem ony , the Lord Mayor and the re s t of the civic p art y withdrew, and returned in their car riages to the M ansion-ho u se. The Learned Recorder nt i c t in u elo q uent 3 s ntt e intimated to the Judges, previous to his departure, that though on the present occasion the customary banquet would not be given this evening in the Guildhill, his Lordship begged permission to invite them to one at some future day. EARTHQUAKE AT LiT'SRPOOL , 6.c. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LINBAPOOL, TUESDAY, Two shocks of an earthquake, preceded by a rumbling noise, were very sensibly felt in this town and neighbourhood about 20 minutes past four o'clock this morning. Each of , the sho c k s was very violent, and of several seconds duration. We do not hear of any damage being sust a i ne d in the town or neighbourhood. Since the shocks were felt there has been a alight fall of rain. The following telegraphic d ispatches have been received from Bangor and Holyanad s where the earthquake was also felt. at 4.30 a.m., atmosphere BANGOR --1 TUESDAY.

His Lordship sat this m orning to hear a ppetl s , b ut no ease of publi c i n t e rest was br ou g ht before him. The other cases. Courts wore occup ied with parttheard MahUMENT TO THE LATE THOMAS HOOD. We are glad to learn that u subscription has been commenced for erecting a monument in Kensal-gree n Cemetery, to the memory of Thomas Hood. AmonAst the subscrib ers are , the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Brougham, Earls o f Carlisle an d Ellesmere, Sir James Duke, Charles M'Ray, Westland Marston, M.P., Mr. M a caulay, M. P., Mr. Disraeli, Dr, Douglas Jerro ld, Eliza Cook, Miss Mitford, and others. It is, we believe, chiefly owing to the powerful and touching appeals to the public made by Eliza. Cook —a poetess whom Hood himself would have been proud to call a sister—that this movement has proved so tar successful. Miss Cook acts as treasurer to the fund, but We sh all be brppy to receive subscriptions and forward them to that lady. The quiet and unostentatious manner in which 1761. have been already subscribed, is a great honour to the fair projec tor and her co-operators. Hood was a great poet and a good man, and the lady who is effecting this record to his worth is doing a womanly and noble act. Anlong the local subscribers are Mr. Ald. Turton, Mr. Ald.
