Princes-street, Bank, Dec. 8, 1852. contrary, rumours and whispers went abroad that the Government were placed in a difficult position. Mem bers disposed to support the Government were not dis posed to offend their constituents. It was then sought on the area of taxation to reduce the area of discus sion. The manoeuvre succeeded to a certain extent. It was intimated that hon. members would now be in a condition to vote for the Government, and even old birds came into the net. The hon. member for Montrose was taken by the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to limit the question to the area of taxation, and while he said that he found much more matter to reprove than to praise, and objected to in creased taxation, he ended by declaring that he should vote for the budget. Matters went on smoothly and pleasantly till the right hon. member for Carlisle rose. That right lion. gentleman repeated an inquiry put in an earlier part of the evening by the hon. member for Middlesex, whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to limit the question to the area of taxation ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he did not intend to take the sense of the house on anything further than the area of taxation ; twice in the same evening the right hon. gentleman declared expressly and expli citly that he limited the resolution to that one branch. What was the course pursued by the right hon. member for Carlisle ? He proceeded to prove that, on the show ing of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the second year of his financial existence, if that lasted so long, would leave no greater surplus than the first year, and appealed to the right hon. member for Stamford, who had been described as the Nestor of Finance, whether he sanctioned with his authority a budget remitting so much of the malt tax, without having secured the do u bl e h ouse duty, the want of which involved a deficiency. The Chancellor of the Exchequer felt the difficulty ; and the same evening in which he declared that he would take the opinion of the committee on the area of taxation only, the right hon. gentleman said he should not limit the question to the area of taxation, but would include also the question of the whole budget. Was that a course of proceeding which reflected credit on the Government? When hon. gentlemen said that they could not vote for the Government, though anxious to support it if pos sible, but that they would excite the wrath of their con stituents by increasing the area of taxation, or at least by doubling the tax, it might well be asked whether, to meet the exigency of the hour, and for the sake of catch ing a few stray votes, it was a worthy course for the Government to change the whole tenour of their con duct ? The whole difficulty in which the committee had been placed was the result of the course pursued by the right hon. gentleman ; but there could be no longer any doubt that the committee were to express their opinion by their votes, not only on the question whether the area of taxation should be increased with reference to the house duty, but on the question whether that duty should be doubled.

Locke and Errlngton. that twofold proposition it would be impossible to remit duties. That was the keystone of the whole financial fabric which the right hon. gentleman had constructed. He (Sir A. Cockburn) wished to meet that proposition by a clear and decided negative. The Government must prove the necessity and justice of increasing the area of taxation and doubling the tax, as they must also prove the necessity and justice of extending the income tax to incomes hitherto exempted. The favourite argument was expressed in the question, why should persons possessing incomes or household property below a certain amount be exempted from contributing their fair share ? When the question was put in that naked and abstract way it was extremely difficult to make a satisfactory answer ; but an answer might be given by contending, with the hon. member for Middlesex, that before that question could be answered, there must be imported into the con sideration of the subject, as an essential element, the surrounding circumstances of the complicated system of taxation which existed. Until the startling inequalities —he had almost said iniquities—of thepresent system of taxation, as pressing on the poorer classes, were adjusted and rectified, Parliament had no right to include them in the direct taxation of the country. The right hon. member for Carlisle pointed out the other evening that 35,000,000/. were paid by the great mass of the con sumers in this country through indirect taxation. (Hear.) . The mass of the consumers spent almost all their in comes, if not all, on the indispensable necessaries of life ; and the committee, if it were put in possession of the figures, would, he believed, be satisfied with respect to the grievous injustice of imposing more taxation on those classes. What did the working man pay on tobacco, which was his comfort and solace when his labours for the day were concluded? On to bacco, which varied in value from 31d. per pound to is. 4d. per pound, there was a uniform tax of 3s. per pound, amounting, on the lowest figure, to 1,125 per cent., and on the highest to 225 per cent.--a difference of not less than 900 per cent. between the jrice which the poor man paid and that which the rich man paid. The lowest class of cigars were imported at 6s. 6d. per pound, the highest at 19s. per pound, and the duty was 9s. per pound, being 120 per cent. on the poor man's cigar, and only 47 on the rich man's. On wines the difference was enormous, being 676 per cent. on the low priced, and 22 per cent. on the high priced wines. On brandy the percentage was 310 upon inferior, and 108 upon superior qualities. As a general proposition he should say, that on the whole of those articles consumed by the great mass of the com munity the difference was enormous between the per centage in the shape of taxation taken from the poor man, as compared with the rich. That consideration afforded a strong argument aga i ns t th e pro posed extensionof direct taxation. Th ere was one thing, however, for which the industrial classes ought to be most gratefulf Naav to the right honour a ble gentleman, and that the recognition of a principle as to which the com mon sense of mankind had long been opposed to the subtle and perverse logic o f economists,b and that was, that an income deri ved b y dail y laour, and by the exercise of professional or industrial skill on the part of ind ividuals, which owed its continuance to their exertions, and ceased on their deaths, which was subject to deductions for the future provisions of their families, and which was precarious and unc ertain, differed from incomes derived fro m l an d , which were fixed and permanent. So far the right hon. gentleman had done well ; but, looking at the budget as a whole, he saw nothing but mischief and evil in the taxation he proposed to lay on the country, 'without any corresponding benefit or advantage in the taxes he meant to take off. Whether it was in reality class legislation or not, the budget would be received in that light by the people, and would stir up strife an d heartburnings among them. The Government would set class against class, they would excite ill will and jealousies throughout the country, and they would do all this with ou t an y addition to the prosperity and com f ort of the great mass s of the people. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE said the sth George IV..assimi lated in substance and effect the funds in Ireland to the funds in England, and provided that they might be trans ferred and the dividends paid in the same way, without cost or expense. The sth and 6th Victoria, w hi c h must be right, a s it was passed by Sir Robert Peel, who was the great authority quoted in the house on all matters of finance, and to which the right hon. member for Cam bridge was a party, exempted the land of Ireland, but it taxed —not the funds, but the dividends arising from funded prope r ty, whether in Ireland or in England, It exempted persons who resided in Ireland, and by section 90 it explained what residence in Ireland was, and provided that any one who could endure exist ence in that country for six months was within the exemption, and would escape any reduction of his divi dends. By section 25 the governors and directors of the Bank of Ireland were appointed to act as commissioners for adjusting the assessment on annuities and dividends to persons not resident in Ireland. What was the prac tical result of that legislation ? An English gentleman having property in the funds in England and in Irelan was taxed on the dividends received in each country. A person holding funds in Ireland received the same dividends 'on the same day, and with all the same advan tages, as the English holder, but he was not taxed if Th e , BANNEUS.

The Submarine cable to Belgium will be laid down between the South Foreland and .Middlekirk (near Orend) in the ensuing month, when its wires will also be connected with the wires of this Company at Dover; and a large accession of business will thereby be obtained for the European and American Electric Telegraph Company. Traffic arrangements have been made securing the European and American Telegraph company the exclusive privilege of conveying all messages to and from London and any part of the Continent via France and Belgium. The capital hitherto expended is 50,0001., for which sum the Com pany has obtained an underground line of telegraph between London and Dover, constructed in such an efficient manner that a responsible contractor her guaranteed the maintenance of the works for the annual payment of 1001. All the preliminary expenses, the cost of obtaining the act of Par liament and ;payments for patents, are also included in the above mentioned expenditure. Although this line has been opened only six weeks, the net returns already show a profit of 5 per cent. upon the capital expended and this satisfacaory result has induced the shareholders, at a General Meeting held on the sth instant, unanimously to resolve that this subterranean system of telegraph should be extended to the towns of Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, so as to afford direct and unbroken intercourse between their several exchanges and the Con tinent. Contracts have been made to carry out these lines insulated in gutta percha, and laid underground, for a sum of 50,0001. In order to provide the necessary capital for this purpose, ten thousand shares of 5/. each, to be pa d up in full, will forthwith be issued ; and as the whole expense of the undertaking has been thus clearly defined, no liability can se incurred by the shareholders be yond the amount of their shares, as the Directors will undertake no new lipm nor enter into any further engagement, wlthuut the consent of the proprietors. Whilst the working expenses of the Company w,ll be but slightly increased by the proposed extension, the business between these main [arteries of commerce is known to be of a very lucrative de scription, and the ratio of profit on the existing line will be largely augmented. '1 he works to Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham are already in progress. Application for st are s may be made to Messrs. Foster and Braith waite, Stockbrokers, 68, Old Broad-street, City, ou or before Wed nesday, the 22d instant.

This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most exeellent, nourishing, at d restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medi Arles. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder. and hemorrhoids This really invaluable remedy Is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary com plaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pul monary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to ex press the conviction, that Do Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Hono.ary Member of the Lordon Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this cour try and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the Verbena' supervision of Dr. La'3fert,• himself one of the few !egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate cons'deration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

To create novelty for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity. and to Introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of y ears nove lti es i n D ress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists whose Introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all &asses. and whose seasonable produc tions have g aine d lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces variety, surpassing all attempts . at imitation, an d ex hibits novelties which only the first Tailoring Establishment s in the universe can device. To maintain th is distinction, E. M OSES and SON'S Christ mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated styles, DRESS for Christmas parties, the most splendid materials and the neatest workmanship.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICRPORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. "We promised in a former number that we should recur to this work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers: and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who saftbr from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

Such are cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and six. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag- gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet tha treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminnatly saocesaful." —Professor Lima on the Treatment of Stricture. - ty 4)0 SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.
