Sitt,---Having taken on an old man to clean knives and boo!! in my house, for an hour or two in the morning, I wished to know how far I was liable to be taxed for him, and put the question to the collector of the district, who, without hesita tion, told me " he must be returned, and will be charged as a domestic servant." You will, Mr. Editor, very greatly oblige me, by giving me your opinion in this case. If I really am liable, there will be an end of the old man's labours in my vineya:4l. for I certainly will not give one pound eighteen shillings, or thereabouts, for a few hours assistance in such line of service. If this law was intended to suppress the most wretched of the poor, it ;s a most successful hit, and well suited to be a companion of the forthcoming Income-tax ; which, doubtless, will hurl thousands from their present homes, to tell their sorrows in some of those new gaols and workhouses, with which our very excellent and humane rulers are kind enough to busy themselves. Finsbury, April 20. 1842. R. W. [On referring to the clause, " Dutieg on male servants," in the Assexed Taxes Act, our Correspondent will find he is liable to the charge, if he pays duties on two other servants, or for any carriage, for mere than one horse kept for riding,or dray ing . any carriage. If he is not chargeable to any of these duties, then the sum of 10s. is payable fur the uccasional servant.] THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE SUN. Sin,—ln The Sun of Wednesday evening it was reported that " the meeting of to-day (Wednesday) was to oppose the steps taken by Mr. Sturge, of Birmingham." The Conventiln, at the sitting alluded to, engaged in a debate on a resolution, moved by Mr. Moir, of Scotland, at the request of his consti tuents, to the effect that the people should abide by the Charter and its name, which was carried unanimously. In the course of the discussion, various Delegates expressed different views on the movement of the Complete Suffrage party, but the Con vention did not specifically meet "to oppose the steps taken by Mr. Sturge."—yours, respectfully, R. K. PHILP. SPRING.—At this period of the year Cutaneous Diseases very frequently occur, and thereby shows the absolute necessity of preserving the skin in a pure and healthy state, so that its functions may he duly per formed.—Obstruction of the Fluids through the pores of the skin very often take place, and from the acrid anti ponderous particles which are left behind, the disordered stato of the secreting office is disturbed, and thereby produces symptoms of great virulence, which are not only distressing, but most unpleasing to the sight ; and, above all others, when the face is attacked, the suffering is often extremely great. In stating this well known fact, we beg to call the reader's attention to that admi rable and unique discovery--,RowLAND's KALYDOR, a mild and most efficacious preparation, that dispels all ir ritability from the skin, gently assists in opening the pores, reteves the secretions, and graduaEy .evtablishes a white and perfect skin of transparent beauty ! ADMIRAL KEPPEL.—We understand that a niche in our naval and national biography is about to be filled up by the publication of the memoirs of this distinguished Com mander, written by his descendant, the Hon. and Rev. T. Keppel (son of the Earl of Albemarle), who possesses for his task an extensive collection of family papers of great historical value. This narrative of the Admiral's career can, therefore. hardly fail to become one of the most important contributions to our naval history ever given to the public. As a midship man, Keppel went round the world with Anson. In 1778, being Admiral of the Blue, he commanded the Channel Fleet, a nd commenced the war against France, and in 1782 became a Cabinet Minister and First. Lord of the Admiralty. The Ad miral was the contemporary and friend of Hawke, Boscawns, Anson, Howe, and Rodney, many. letters from, or respecting w hom, together with several oiler distinguished characters of the time, will enrieh these volumes. " Would you believe it," said ,Tones to Smith, " Webster has engaged Charles Kean for only twelve nights ?" —" For only twelve nights !" cried Smith. " For only twelve nights," repeated Jones.

Some of the Paris journals again allude to the statement of the Courrier Francais respecting the communication said to have been made by the Emperor of fIUSSia - tiithe Government of the United States. The ats!itutiounel expresses its be ief that the statement is essentially true. It says---tt The inquiries which we have made lead us to consider as cor rect in every respeet, at least ,in its main features, the in formation of the Courrier Francais relative to the la cent e.imrnunicatinns of Russia with America, respecting the right of search. The following is the true history of the affair : Previously to July 15, 18 4 0, a close friendship, founded on their hatred of England, united Russia and America. It' was, to use the piquant expression of a certain statesman, a sort of Carlo-Republican alliance against the aristocratic Govern ment. of Great Britain. Since 1840 Russia is so pleased with having detached England from France, that she has crone all she could to manifest kiriciness and geoil-will to her new illy. It has been a sort of honeymoon of the union formed at our expense; and the warning which Itu,sia has just given to America is one of the pledges of the deep affection which Russia feels for England. M. de Bruns.w has informed Mr. Everittt, die representative of the United States in London, that .Anterica is not to expect Any support from the Cabinet of St. Perersburgh in her plans of offering opposition to the rialit of search, the said C,,binet being determined to' aid as much as possible all efforts for rep6ssing the slave.tfade. The Presse has the following yase subject : ",` Several of the journals have alltideit-',:aii-rt note,mentioued by the Courrier Francais, relating to a diplomatic communi cation, made, it is said, by the Russian 'Government to the United States, giving. them notice oat to'count on the perse verance of France in her refusal to ratify the right of search. We had received information of this nat e before it was alluded to by the Courrier, but we . did .not attach to it any great importance. Supposing the communication to be au thentic, it is evident that it refers to a period, since which the question has coasiplelely changed its character. Since then, in fact, revelations have been - made by French vessels from eve ry quarter—public opinion has been declared energetically, and with unanimity—the Chamber of Peers has given its ad hesion to the opinion manifested by the other Chambe Whatever, therefore, might have been the intention of the French Cabinet, at the period when the communication was made, it is evident that it must be very different at present. It is also clear that there is not a Minister in France who is not perfectly aware that, in ratifying the treaty of December 20,. he was preparing his own impeachment. The question, then, .s no longer. the same, and were a struggle to commence on the part, of the United States against the pretensions of Eng land to search their vestels and press their sailors, we believe that they might reckon en the support of France, or at least on her neutrality, if neutrality be possible in such a conflict. The annual report made to the . iharcholders of the Frankfort and Mentz Railroad for 1841 shows the following results : Dnring the Tar the number of passengers was 769,581, or an ave age of 2,103 a day, being an increase of 103,549 upon the preceding year. There were also conveyed by it 1,193 car riages, 1,164 head of cattle, and 2,390 dogs. The receipts amounted to 425,693 florins, or 9 15 , 240 h -, an average of 2,511 f. a day. The net profit was 441,546 f., yielding a di vidend of 6 per cent. to the shareholders, and leaving 24,000 florins, or about 50,000 f., to be added to the reserved fund. A cabinet courier arrived at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, from London, on Monday, and en Tuesday morning M. Guizot had a longeonference with Lard Cowley, at the English Em bassy, after which he proceeded to wait upon the King. At half-past twelve a Cabinet Council, at which Marshal Soult pre sided, was held at the Ministry of War. We find the follow ing from Constantinoi,le, March 30, in the Augsburgh Gazette: Sir Stratford Canning his addressed to the Porte a note, demanding explanations respecting the 6,000 Albanians embarked at Vole, and other ports of the Archipe lago. The Divan hastened to reply that these Albanians were intended for the coasts of Syria, to reinforce the towns of that province. A few days after the Grand Viliet proposed to Sir S. Canning to regal unconditionally Omer Paella. The An,bassador replied that the recta of the Paella was but a se condary matter, and that England wished, above all, to see the former order of things re-established in Syria, viz., the resto ration of the Christian Princes, and the dismis.sal of all the Turkish authorities. PAT:MIMI/MN TAM Y. The Loris showed themselves energetic men of business last night, and passed the Corn-keeping-out Bill through the Com-' tinttee in the short space of two hours and a half. The Earl of Stanhope and Lord Beaumont proposed some amendments, but on diScussion they were defeated, and the Bill was reported without amendments. It is ordered to be read a third time this day,. In the course of the discussion the ~Marquis of Clanricarde said, in accounting for the much higher protection conceded to wheat than barley or oats, that it ss - as rumoured that the highest rate of duty intended for wheat was 165., but the landlords could not stand that, and therefore the protection for wheat was raised to 205., and the protection for barley and oats left as it was at first proposed. The Earl of Ripon said that story might do in the Clubs, but the Cabinet knew better. Their Lordships rose at Eight o'Clock. In the Commons the Election Committee for Wakefield re ported that they had seated Mr. Laseelles, and unseated Mr. nodsworth. — Mr Mason drew the attention of the House to the case of Mr. Lucas. but after an explanation from Mr. Pakingtou, that unhappy victim to his own forgetfulness, er to his desire to deceive, obtained not the prayer of his petition. 'The Ipswich Committee would not hear him again, and he remains com mitted to Newgate. Mr. Sharman Crawford brought forward his motion for ex tending the suffrage. Several of the Liberal Members spoke energetically in support of the motion. Sir James Graham opposed it, becau:e to admit numbers into the Crlnstitution would destroy the Peerage. That would be an excellent argument if the Peers could destroy the influence and power'of numbers ; but as they cannot do this, to withhold their rightOrom numbers, will only compel numbers to take their rights. The power of numbers cannot be resisted, anti including or excludiug them from the Constitution is simply a question whether they shall be admitted quietly, or b e a d m i tte d b y f orce. The Peers and the Tories cannot keep them out. - Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley took the same view as Su- James Graham, showing thst, however the Whigs may have sought to beguile the people, the Tories are determined to oppress them. The I-louse was occupied with this subject during t'se whole evening. On a division the numbers were, 226 and 67, Mr. Crawford losing his motion by;lso. The 1-louse Adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve. isri Tax c The Post says :—" The Income-tax Bill has been published; and, though we do not mean to join the class of grumblers, yet we may, perhaps, be permitted to say that it is by no means a soothing or delcifying document. Comparing it with the speeches which have been made regarding the proposed tax, it reminds us of the bitter physic which frequently comes after an interview, rather cheering than otherwise, with the doctor. To say the truth, however, we cannot pretend to have any very distinct understanding of what the Bill means. We wish that when such interesting Parliamentary Bills as these are pub. lished, there were sent round with them a breviate, contain ing a translation of the barbarisms of legislative language into plain, popular, intelligible English. lisw long must we wait until the public shall not only perceive, but act upon the per ception, that the technical language of lawyer-craft is a nui sance, and that the aim of Acts of Parliament ought to be, in respect to language, strict accuracy, combined with pepu. lar intelligibleness? We are very far from wishing that every man shall be able to be his own lawyer, but when laws are made which the people generally are bound to obey, and especially when laws are made to take money out of our pockets, it were but fair that the language of them should be as intelligible as possible. In the new Bill there is an immense deal about the occupation of lands, tene menta,andhereditaments, and there is a clause taxing all pro perty in England with threepence-halfpenny in the pound in respect of the occupation of the same. Is it really intended, then, that we shall have to pay threepence-halfpenny in the pound upon the tents of the houses we occupy? If this he so, it is a tax not upon income, but upon out-going ! We at first thought that perhaps the clause applied only to , armers, who are not to pay upon their profits, but in proportion to the rent paid for oe euprlion. But afterwards we found the word house, and dwel ling-house, repeatedly used ; and one clause provides that when houses are divided into different properties, each occupier shall be charged separately. There are abundance of other clauses somewhat startling; as well as this, in relation to the occupying of tenements, but we would fain hope that, apart from lawyer eraft technicalities, no greater tax is intended than what has been described in the Ministerial speeches. We think we know enough of Sir Robert Peel to be tolerably confident that he will not support any unreasonable severity. We wish he could have put his proposition into a legislative shape that would have been more intelligible and less alarming." • • The a rf, Chron ic letosee a g understanding ta i s breentwiaetelen middlen s xi working classes, and satisfied th at witho ut such an understand ing, constitutional reform is impossible, while without reform we can have little chance of seen; an end to that class legis lation by which Parliament has lost the esteem of the people of in a matter of to any scheme i tl ovue a s; worse situation sv, t nechuo,enhinf can led i w ee - nd e t i a ,n r tt i o t o , ae a vff t oe t i h cdt e ,c s mo r ni gm e h tt place i ati lna e gc , oo a uu n r: i x e i than that in which we sre at present. It ought to be constantly borne in mind, that to extend the franchise is much easier than when it is or.ce extended, again to narrow it. It sounds harsh to say that any portion of the adult male population of the realm should be excluded from the suffrage ; but if, by communicat ing the suffrage to all the adult male population, the power of the really independent and intelligent part of the community should be diminished, the interest of the whole would demand a partial exclus:on. Were ,England pat celle4 out Into electoral district!, we are not sure that this would not be giving to the squires and the parsons a much greater power than that which they now possess." The Herold thus refers to the Income-tax :—" The ma chinery by which the duty is to he .levied Will give to every person pas•essing an incoMe exceeding 110/. a year, a new subject of thou s lit, an additional matter of business, a new point of vexation, and a feeling of permanent uneasiness. It is impossible to collect a tax on ineome without inquisitorial, oppressive, and vexatious powers, and nothing but the appar nt impossibility of righting the public finances in any other way, strut one to which the country has repeatedly refused to resort, and of contemporaneously stimulating trade, and reducing the cost of livirg and producing, could inAtuce the nation to tolerate so great a nuisance as that which will be erected by the Income tax Bill. We distrusted from the first the ability of Ministers to extract the more monstrous provisions from the machinery of assessing and codecting a tax on income ; and our distrust is now confirmed. The provisions of the present Bill are liable to most of the objections which were urged against former Acts, though certainly some stipulations have been introduced to mitigate the mischiefs which occurred under the old law when ha force. But these stipulations appear to be more likely to he useful to the rich and well-informed than to the poorer and less active-minded, to whom exposure of private affairs is matter of greater importance." We take the following from the Advertiser Mr. Shar man Crawford's motion in the House of Commons last night, though pre-doomed to insulting rejection, must do essential service to the State, by enabling the people to distingui ,h be- tween their ,friends and foes. After the numerous outrages lately perpetrated in that House against the wishes and interests of the people, whom it is deputed to represent, he can be no friend to public liberty who would deny the necessity of im proVing the constitution of that body—and this was all that was aimed at in Mr. Crawford's motion: Yet, notwithstand ing the enormity of the evil thus crying so loudly for reforma tion, the House of Commons last night, by a majority of 29.6 against 67, refused even to take the subject into its considers ti.m. Lord John Russell, and the pure Whig, with charte teristic di,cretion, absented themselves from the House, and thus for the nonce avoided the ignominious position in which their truckling and incompetent policy has prated them. In this the Whip, as a party, litre a.knowledjted themselves de funct. Better men must now be sought for to supply their places." • TZONEY-TRADE-COIVIIKETZ,CE.

This case, which excited considerable interest, as connected with the recent frauds in Exchequer-bills, was tried before Lord Abinger, at the sittings after Hilary Term, at Guildhall, when a verdict was taken for the Bank—Damages 8,000/. Mr. GILL now moved for a rule to show cause why the ver dict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Lord who tried the cause. It appeared on the trial that the defendant had deposited eleven Exchequer-hills far 1,0001. each with the Bank, and that the Bank advanced 11,0001. on this security, under the agreement that if the money advanced was not forth.. coming on a certain day, the Bank might sell the Exchequer bills. The dfeendant raid 3,0001. within the time specified, and had back three of his Exchequer-bills, but the others re mained in the plaintiff's hands, and those Exchequer-bills after wards appeared to have been forged as respected the sig nature. Lord Monteagle said, on the trial, that hif name, which appeared to the Exchequer-bills was forged, and Mr. Percival, who was the only person authorised to sign Lord 3lonteagle's name, also swore that the signature of Lord Monteagle was a forgery. It clearly appeared, however, that the paper on which the Exchequer-bills was printed, the print ing, and the stamp or seal of the Exchequer-effiee, were ge nuine. In other words, the Exchequer-bills which the de fendant deposited with the Bank, were genuine in every respect but as regarded the signature. Air. Baron 1 3 .11210 E—The case is quite clear. The Bank was to advance money on genuine bills. The bills depositied were forgeries. The Bank had, therefore, a right to demand the re-payment of the money advanced. If the defendant had any claim on the Exchequer Bill-office, on the ground of neg.. ligence, that was entirely a different question. The defendant might bring an action on the case, or his claims would be taken into consideration with those of other persons who held the forged bills. The other Barons concurred, and the bill was refused. THOZNTON V. PORTMAN.—TIII: GURNEY CASE. This case was tried before Lord Abinger, at the last sittings for London ; when a verdict went for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,2501. Mr. GILL now moved for leave to show cause why the ver dict should not he set aside, and a nonsuit entered. pursuant to leave named on the trial. The Learned Counsel stated the case as given at the trial, with the result, and in conclusion said the application now made to the Court was founded on the fact that the agreement was illegal, and could not be sustained. The Con ELT inquired whether the illegality had been pleaded. Mr. COLE admitted that the illegality- had not; been pleaded. The question for the Court was, whether it was necessary to plead the il:egality, as it appeared that the facts establishing the illegality had been given in evidence by the plaintiff. . Baron Pauxe said, it had been decided in a late ease in the Court of Queen's ',fetich, an. , l he thought rightly, that illegality was not an available defence for a defendant, unless specially pleaded, although it appeared in the plaintiff's ease. Ain GILL submitted that the argument in this case was in furtherance of what, in the eye of the law, was illegal. Baron PARKE said, it was contrary to law to gamble, hat he was not prepare,' to say it was contrary to law to pay gaming debts. the Court did not decide in this ease that the contract was illegal, but, under the new rules, if such a defence was to be set up, it must he speailly pleaded. The other Barons concurred.—Rule refused. ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. Wonderful attraction, and in:itchiest; Stud 01- Horses.

NIONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS SUN.—Although the Bank and another influential broker, made some extensive purchases, the one in Consols and the other in annuities, the prices of the Funds gave way just before the close of business.

LONDON- FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1842. 1 , The Election Committees of the House of Commons ! have begun to excite considerable attention. Yesterday the Wakefield Committee, the majority of which is Tory, seated Mr. LASCELLES, the Tory petitioner for !that borough. On Tuesday, the Longford Committee, of which the Chairman, having the casting vote, was a .Tory, unseated, as the Times says, a Whig Member, and gave the seat to one of their own politics, meaning, • •we presume, of the polities of the majority. These are specimens of the general conduct of these tribun, . The complaints are universal ; they are partial expensive ; and several petitioners have given up their claims on seats, and some sitting Members have res!gned, merely became they would not incur the expense of a contest before these Election Committees. The Longford Committee (says the Times) went the length of determining that a registered vote, which had never been objected to before the Revising Barrister in Ireland, might be called in question, investigated, and eventually struck off the sitting Member's poll by a Committee in London. Such a de cision, is truly monstrous—we care not whether the first pre cedent for it was established by Whig or by Conservative authority ; it is nothing less than a deliberate repeal, by a side wind, of the 54th section of the Irish Reform Act. The words •of that section arc, that the certificate of registry " shall be conclusive of the right of voting of the person named therein;" and that " no inquiry whatever, as to the right of voting of such person, shall be permitted to be made, nor shall any scrutiny be allowed." It requires more than the usual hardihood of a lawyer to argue, as Mr. Sergeant Wrangham did last week, that, under this clause, the certificate is only conclusive as to the right to poll, and not conclusive against the world ; and that the scrutiny abolished is that by the returning-officer, and not also that by a Committee of the - House of Commons. The Committee, however, seem to have adopted Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM'S interpretation of the 'law, have opened the registry, have compelled every elector, if called upon, to prove his qualification in London, and have at once destroyed the franchise in Ireland. Boroughs arc no more safe than counties, and should the decision of the Longford Committee be ,followed by other Committees, there are few elections for Ireland which, if they can be disputed, may not be set aside. This is the state of the ElectiOn Law and of Election Committees, though only two years have elapsed since Sir ROBERT PEEL passed his law for regulating Election Committees. After much and serious deliberation, after a Committee had sat to inquire, and several Members had introduced measures, after so much scandal had been brought on the House, that it was impossible to allow the old law to continue, Sir H. PEEL took up the matter, and passed a law which was to remedy the evil. We remember contending at the time that it would fail, and that the proper way to proceed was to simplify the law, and leave all questions of fact' concerning elections, as concerning other disputed facts, to the decision of the ordinary tribunals of the country. The result of Sir R. PEEL'S Wisdont is to leave the Election Committees of the House of Commons still open to all the imputations which were before cast on them. . In short, Sir R. Pmen's new law is admitted' on all hands to be a corn- plete failure. So far as the investigations under it have gone, they have revotded, we think, an astonishing degree of cor ruption amongst the electors, and amongst the Members of Parliament.. What has been exposed at Sudbury and other places,- is but an index to what is almost every where.praetised.. If there be bribery in the boroughs, there is intimidation in the counties, and legislation is vitiated at i s source by the manner in which the House ,of Commons is formed. With a Legis lature so constituted, we see no means of cr.rrect .hig ; the evil. Who shall purify the House, so as to make it spread a healthy stream of law over the land ? Who shall pull the beam out of its eye to en able it to pull the mote out of the eye of the nation ? We-cannot expect a cure froM its blindness, nor can we hope that the nation will be restored to health by its pestilence. If 'We cannot find a source of healing wholly independent of the HOuse of Commons, it is clear that .corruption must and will go on increasing and ac cumulating till it destroys itself. When Sir ROBERT PEEL proposed the Catholic Eman cipation Act, because it was beyond the power of the Tories to exercise any longer that bioted oppression which is , so dear to their. hearts, he carefully enume rated to the House of Commons the number of County Members and the number of constituents they repre sented, who had previously declared themselves adverse to the continuance of persecution. From that statistical information he drew the conclusion that it was no longer practicable to carry on the Government on the principle excluding the Roman CatholieS from the pale of the Constitution. In the nmspar r press there is quite as sure an index to public opinion as the County Members and their constituents, intLzmed as they have both been by party prejudices for a party purpose ; and were Sir ROBERT PEt:L noW to consult that, we think he would come, in relation to the In •eoine-tax,' to the sound and rat ional conclusion he adopted in 1829 in relation to the Roman Catholics. He would see that he must soon give it up. With the ex_ ception of the Morning Post , the re is not one m etropo . litan daily journal which cordia ll y su pp orts the Income tax. We may safely conclu de, therefore, whatever may Le Sir R. PEEL'S majority in Parliament, that even now, before the inconvenience of the tax has been felt, the I majority of the nation is decidedly against it. The op position will wax strongas the public feels the burden, and is convinced that the tax is not necessary, except to sup port those monopolies which Sir R. PEEL has on prin ciple condemned. Much irritation will ensue, and when ~G ral d eiver, it may perhaps kick In the meantime, to console Sir R. PEEL, some of the Tory journals reco.d, with exultation, the fact that the Journa! des Debuts approves of the tax. Deprived of support from pubic opinion at home, the Tories f4eek-4 substitute in the .praise of the minions of despotism abroad. The Journal des Debats is notoriously sub servient to LOUIS PHILIPPE, and Louis PHILIPPE is notoriously the I subverter of that freedom he Ma; raised to the throne to defend. It is his business to en, o::- 1 rage tyranny everywhere, and we know that he does that. The Journal des Debuts speaks . the sentiments and opinions of that wily tyrant. Vat, then, will our people say to the fact that the Income-.ax gives - in• finite satisfaction to the Juurn 4 .l des Deles, tLiti to the tyraunic Governments of the Continent ? "It bus con ciliated," says that Journal, " the approbation of ell Europe." (Meaning all in Europe who envy our great ness and hate our freedom.) "Itis a plan, conformalat to the spirit which animates British statesmen, zs ready to act as to speak. When they have probed the wound they apply the remedy with a steady hand. The chief of the new Ministry has furnisbd a fresh prof' V ;he superiority qf the furies over the Whigs Ilis plea is . simple, and conformable to the eternal rules of good sense and reason, as well as to the laws cf experience. It bears the stamp oi that unbouf.ded liberality for whir h, when the necessity exists, the Tories know b, tter than their rivals how to give the example." Superiority of the Tories over the Whigs ! Yes ; on the old Tory plan of subverting the liberties, and filching the property of the people. Unbounded liberality Yes ; in fingering our money. Such praise front French men wilt go to the heart of j - 0/IN BULL. His masters are great and generous men. His submission conse quently raises him to the rank of One of the adorers of Louts PHILIPPE. He has before now forced the French to do hoinago to hit vigour ; he was never before for his servility degraded by their praise. What then is the vigorous measure which is so phering to the Fieneh Journalist? We only know that it takes away his property on false pretexts by an atuny of corn- Iliissioners and tax-gatherers. As for understanding the Income-tax law, that is beyond JoaN BULL'S compre hension. On its outside it bears this significant mark, " under 20 oz." The law which he is to obey, therefore, which is to be a rule of life: (like the command, "thou shalt not steal"), is contained in a book which weighs something less, without any c iver, than I Vb. troy. It is so cumbrous, that no journal will probably publi'sli it entire, and Dile Tory print said yesterday— " It is quite impracticable for us to print this Bill, as it con tains no fewer th in 189 clauses, which, together with sale dules, forms of tillidavits, and other explanatory matter, occupy 130 cloiely printed pages." Such a law will mean whatever the Commissipners and interpreters choose to make it say. To the bulk of the people it will be " heathen Greek." They will be go verned and plundered by a law which they cannot com prehend. It is a restoration of the age of mysticism as well as plunder. To us that ::ecins the climax of degra. dation. It is bad enough to have our Government praised by the Journals of Lours PurraPpt, but to b.: compelled to obey a law which is so voluminous, com plicated, and perhaps, contradictory, that not one man ia a million can understand it, is to be the slaves of in ,c o preh e n sible jargon. The determined opposition given last night by the Ministers to Mr. S. CRAWFORD'S motion must undeceive the working classes, if any of them. yet suppose that the Tories will help them to political power. The Tories have of late been flattering the people a little, and have pretended that they were studying the benefit of the working classes, bat it was only as a good farmer takes care of his cattle, to get as much work out of them as possible. The Tories want more revenue, more money ; they avow that they cannot get any more from the bulk of the people till their condition be. improved, and there fore they spare them, they say, flPrtaxation ; but they wil no more allow them to have a share of law-making than the farmer will allow his oxen or his swine to take up their abode in his carpeted parlour. The' Tories are by their very nature opposed to the people. Their po litical creed is, that the people must obey, and that they must be the masters of the people. Last night they merely spoke and acted as they are always inclined to speak and act. Their existence as politicians is bound up with class privilege; and class legislation ; and to ask them to give Universal Suffrage, is to ask them to commit political suicide. We were somewhat astonished yesterday to learn that the Columbia could not get her broken engine re paired at Halifax. There is a Royal Dockyard at Hali fax, and the Navy List contains the name of ALEXAN DER EiAOTT as Storekeeper there. That establishment, however, and the whole town of Halifax, were unable to repair the damage of the Columbia, and she was navi gated across the ocean by her sails and one paddle. We are not acquainted with Mr. CUNARD'S arrange ments, and cannot therefore say what precautions he may have taken to provide against accidents ; but we should think that it was incumbent on him to have spare gear at the port his vessels stop at, and the means of repair: ing any ordinary damage.. W e must, therefore, 4xpreAs our surprise that such was not the case for the Columbia. We must express still stronger surprise thatthe damage could not be repaired in Halifax. It is now ninety three years since that town was founded. It has a noble harbour, where a thousand ships might ride in safety. It has long been the chief resort of her MAJEsTv's fleets in those seas, and its dockyard is said to be sup plied with all kinds of stores for the Royal Navy. At present, that navy comprises a considerable number of steam-ships, and the dockyard, if kept up at all, ought to . , be provided with stores for them, and with all the means.oP keeping them in repair. That the Columbia was obliged to come home from such a place with one paddle, reveals to us, better than would many volumes of statistics, th backward and neglected state of Halifax, with all possible advantages as to extent of territory, proximity to England, and great conveniences of trade. at the end of nearly one hundred years it has scarcely attained the size and rank of a third-rate town of the .United States. Such comparatively slow progress is not creditable, either to the inhabitants of Nova Scotia, or the Government of Great Britain. But if it cannot repair a steam-boat, we shall be told that it can supply an author and a book ? SAM SLICK has made Halifax renowned, and though he cannot teach the Blue Noses engincering, he can hold up the Yankees to never-ending ridicule. The contrast, may serve as an illustration of the progress of civilisation in our American Colonies, and in the United States. In our colonies it leads towards the agreeable—it grows from a Government more polished than the people—it it something partly derived from the Court and the Go vernment ; in the neighbouring United States civilization is towards the useful, and grows from the natural laws which determine the progress of nations. We will not say that the ibrmer may not have the most charms for certain classes, but it has this terrible defect, that it keeps the country behind in population and in wealth, and exposes it in the end to be swallowed up by the nation in which the useful is the guiding principle. - _ ecl in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINS, Hour.
