Four-fifths of the pr.:fits are divided amongst the assured, and may be applied either in reduction of the an nual premium, or in addition to the amount originally assured. It is important that persons at present about to assure in this Office should complete their Policies before the second Wednes day in May, as they will be entitled to participation in profits twelve months earlier than those assuring subsequent to that date. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction oc 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Iteduced Age when I Date ot Policy Policy. was I issued. Sum Original Assured. Premium.

MONSTROUS IMPOSITION ON THE POOR CONSUMER of 5UGAR.—Eight thousand one hundred and fifty bags of !Vanilla sugar were offered for sale last week by auction Only twelve shillings per cwt. were bid. It might probably he bought for fourteen shillings per cwt., or one penny half penny per lb.! ! The duty is sixpence three farthings per lb. !

A country clergyman, by his dull, monotonous discourse, set all the congregation asleep, except an idiot, r who sat with open mouth, listening. The parson enraged, and thumping the pulpit, exclaimed, " What ! all asleep but this poor idiot?" " Aye," quoth the natural, " and if I had not been a poor idiot, I would have been asleep too."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Allow me space in your Journal to point out to all meetinvs taking place on the subject of that tax, worthy only, of a nation of cowards and slaves—the iniquitous Income Tax— that it is now of the utmost consequence to petition the House of Commons against it, because Mr. Duncombe, and other Liberal Members, intend to present every such petition, and to divide the House on the question that it be received. The inalienable Right of Petition is at stake ! Let us, therefore, supply Liberal Members with weapons—that is with petitions—to fight withal the great battle fur ita present asser tion and future inviolability. I am, Sir, yours, &c. April 10, 1842. PHILO-HAMPDEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l expend, in round numbers, 3,0001. per annum. A large proportion of this sum goes in affording employment, which I have always considered as the most legttitnate means of assisting the poor. But our new Grand Vizier's unwise and unconstitutional scheme compels me to feel that charity begins at home, and that 1 must trim the vessel of my domestic econo my, so that it may sail close-reefed. I, therefore, discharge a groom, and sell two of my saddle horses, sell or destroy my pine plants, that I may dismiss a labourer from my garden, atop all ornamental work and improvement, that I may get rid of a carpenter and two masons, with three more labourers. I let my experimental farm, deferring useful draining and other ope rations, thus effecting a considerable farther reduction, princi pally in labour, and, with what other economical arrangement time shall enable me to accomplish, shall consider myself as a tolerably good match even for Sir R o b ert. If all those who determine to ad op t a s i m il a r plan, would communicate their intention to some newspaper, would not the Grand Vizier begin to think his absurd measure more likely to injure the agricultural labourer, than the free admission of fereiga corn ? I remain, Sir, respectfully yours, ANTI-PIELER. ANTI-CORN-LAW VERSUS THE cIIARTER. A public meeting of the Metrop;litaii Young Men's Anti- Monopoly Association, convened by this Association at the Political Institute, 55, Old Bailey, terminated on Monday last, having been adjourned for three ev en i ngs, to cons id er "Wh et h er theret e r en s o any ahope a repe a l o f th e C orn -l aws un til the Charter becomes the law of the land." Messrs, H. Preston, jun., Lyon , Shaw , P. A. Taylor, jun., White, Hogg, Toms, Booth, and others , addressed the meeting in favour of tr u of f h i on b t a t ihnet g assertion so frequently made, that free trade. Messrs. Webber, Peale, Martin, Fussey, Cowan, Wall, &ca., spoke on behalf of the Charter. But it was not till near the close of the discussion that the admission was wrung from the Chartists that the Corn-law repealers were most likely to obtain their objects first, thus yielding the point in question. The most perfect order and'good feeling continued throughout the whole of the discussion, and the meeting quietly dispersed at a late hour till Monday next, when it is proposed to consider ohether the present depressed state of the country is to be attributed to the effects of machinery. OBBARD'S MASQUERADE. The last Masquerade of the season, which was got up on the same scale of splendour as always characterize Mr. Obbard's masquerades, was held last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. The company was numerous and respectable ; amongst which were many fancy characters. Sailors and Sentchmen abounded ; there w, re also loads of Greeks, Turks, Chinese, &c. &c., all of whom sustained their various characters with considerable eclat. Dancing commenced at eleven, and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour of the morning. Supper was laid at two, and ss e must express our highest satisfaction at the excellent arrangements. The whole affair passed off in a most agreeable manner, and we were pleased to see so large a number assembled, inas much as that is the best proof that can be adduced that Mr. Obbard's exertions in catering for the public amusement, are fully appreciated. MONDAY NIGHT'S DIVISION. The following Members who usually vote with the Govern ment, voted in the Minority on this occasion : Baldwin, Charles Bart y—Totnes IHanmer, Sir T.—Hull Blackstone, W.

The oppos.te, we imagine,will be the ease in regard to the forthcoming Court Diary of Madame D'Arblay ; for if ever there was a Court that would bear the scrutiny of an observer , 7 ike th e author of " E ve li na " and " Cecilia," it was that of Q ueen Charlotte. We have reason to believe, however, that no previous impressions that have prevailed relative to the personal and domestic habits of George the Third and his family, at all approach in interest and curiosity to the picture that is about to be presented to us of their daily habits, manners, amusements, &c. We are to see each and all of them (as we . saw the lite rary and fash i on • able celebrities of the same perTd in the first two volumes of this charming Diary) " in their habits as t h ey l i ved ;" and this, not by means of vague descriptions, but by their Own words, taken down 'farm, as it were, from their own lips : for such, it appears, was almost the sole amusem ent an d re l axat i on from her Court duties which Miss Burney allowed herself during her six years of almost hourly attendance to the person of Queen Charlotte. SIR JAMES C.tmennw , ! — On Friday, the Lord Provost Campbell left for London, with the intention, no doubt, of at last being put in possession of the long looked for honour of knighthood. Councillor Drysdale of Edinburgh, we under stand, leaves that city to-day on a similar errand ; and we may therefore look forward to Wednesday next as .the great, the important day, which is to crown the hop es an d t h e fears an d the anxious longings of both with success. The Chief Magis trate of Glasgow is to return as plain James C amp b e ll no more . His fellow-citizens will, nu doubt, highly estimate the honour conferred upon the head of the Corporation. We understand that Provost Campbell and Councillor Drysdale would have been knighted at the last leve(:, when they presented the con gratulatory addresses from their respective Corporations ; but this,i t was found, would form a preceslent as regarded O'Con nell; and they are again to be presented, not in their official capacity, but as private individuals, at the levee on Wednesday next, when kn.ghthood can be conferred without any fear of the Liberator before the eyes of the Ministry— Glasgow Argus. MODERATOR OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—ThP Non-Intrusionists, after offering the Moderatorship of the As- sembly to Dr. Brown, of St. John's, Glasgow, and various other clergymen of the party, all of whom declined, have at length got Dr. Welsh, Professor of Church History in the University of Edinburgh, to accept it, and he will be Proposed accordingly! THE AMENDED TARIFF. The new commercial tariff, with the changes to which the Government has been induced to accede by the representations and suggestions of those par ies who have a practical acquain tance with the subject, was laid upon the table of the House of Commons at a late hour on Monday night. These changes are few in number. In the case of a few manufactured at :ides, in which it appeared that a sudden removal of protec ion to the whole extent proposed would have a fatal effect ou certain branches of domestic industry, without procuring any great amount of benefit to the community at large, some con cession has been made. For instance, the duties on women's gloves, habit-gloves, and men's gloves will be reduced from 75., ss. ant 45. per dozen pair respectively, to 4s. 6d., 3s. 61., and 2s. 6d., lot to 55., 2.. 6d., and 2s. : the.duty on straw-plait will be re duced to 7s. 6.1., not to ss. per pound. The tariff, as it now :rands, has been considerably simplified by the removal of a vast number of differential duties, which stood in the original scheme, for the purpose of favouring the produce of the colo- Ales. Many of these differential duties were to have been eviod on articles which none of the colonies produce, and they might have had the bad effect of encouraging, by new protec tion, certain branches of unprofitable or unnatural cultivation and industry. But the preference given to the trade and pro duce of the British colonies has been retained in favour of all those articles which are, •r may soon become, important and natural portions of our colonial and national wealth. The duties on provisions remain as they were in the origi nal scheme, except that the admission of foreign beef and pork to the English market is postponed to the 10th of Octo ber, 1842. The admission of foreign fish is subjected to the condition that it cannot be imported in fishing vessels, because by the various treaties with foreign Powers, which regulate the home fisheries, it is stipulated that the fishing-boats of one nation shall not fish or trade within three miles of the coasts of an other country. The trade in fresh fish will consequently be limited to such fish as may be conveyed to this country in car goes of a certain size ; as, for example, salmon from Norway, and eels from Holland. The following is the Amended List, with the principal arti cles under the head Animals and Articles of Food.* ANIMALS (LiviNsi ).—Asses, each, Foreign, 2s. 6d. —l3ri fish, Is. 3d.

In the duties on the metals no very important departure from the former plan is now suggested, except in the case of that on rolled 'palter, which will be reduced. not to I/. per ton, but to 41. per ton. Some alteration is also proposed in the adjustment or the duty of five per cent. ad valorem on copper ores. Copper ores containing not more than fourteen parts of copper will pay V. 10s. per 1001. value of metal, and ores containing more than fourteen parts of copper will pay 51. The duty on tin ore remains, as proposed, at I/. per ton; regulus of tin at 21. ; and tin in blocks, ingoti, &C. 6/. the ton. With regard to the mode of adjusting the timber duties, it has been found that the original plan for sweeping away all the clumsy and complicated distinctions of sizes and lengths, by reducing all the imports of foreign timber to one head in the tariff, would have been unfair in its operation on unhewn wood; by the final arrangement it is proposed to make an alteration in the duties on certain kinds of hewn wood, for the purpose of carrying into effect with greater accuracy the principle of the reduction on this article.

The change in the timber duties will come into operation on the 10th of October, 1842. These are the principal altera tions, and on comparingthe amended with the original tariff, it will be found that the difference is not material. • In the List where the word " British" does not appear, the duty is the same as for the productions of foreign countries. t N.E. It is intended to propose the repeal of the 42d clause of the 3d and 4th Will IV., cap. 57, as far as the Customs are thereby empowered to require from shippers bond to land provisions at the port of the ship's destination, and likewise the repeal of the 43d clause of the same Act. A woman named Deville, who lived at Vaugirard was, on Saturday, cited before the Correctnal Tribunal under charges of lending money upon the most inordinately usurious interest. It was proved that, in general, her rate was ten cents. a day on every five francs, or 700 per cent. per annum ; almost uniformly taking pledges in the shape of articles of fur niture, workmen's tools, tickets from the Mont-de-Piete, and other tangible things, many of which she fraudulently detained, even after the sums she had advanced upon them were repaid. Sometimes she exacted one franc for the loan of five francs for three days. One woman deposed dud the prisoner had re ceived from her 360 francs for the use of sixty francs for four months, or in effect 1,800 per cent. Madame Deville dared not appear in the face of justice, and we3,condemned in de fault to three months' imprisonment, and a fine of 2,500 francs. We learn from Pecquigny, in the Somme, that another of those deplorable accidents from the falling of wells while being sunk occurred on the Ist instant, at La Chaussee, near that town. The well-digger, a man named Gricourt, was buried to a depth so great, that it became necessary, in order to relieve him, to dig another well parallel to that in which he was, so as to meet him by means of an horizontal cut. All the civil and military authorities in the neighbourhood co-operated most zealously in directing this operation, to expedite which a detachment of infantry was brought from Amiens. On Tuesday they had proceeded so far as to ascertain that the poor man was still alive, and be able to supplx him with nourish ment; but it required the greats,d_precaution in making the entrance into the vault which enclosed him sufficiently large to I take him out, lest it should fall down and crush him. No fears however of his ultimate release were entertained. The Smyrna journals, of the 19th ult., which arrived yesterday, gave an account of a fire at that place on the night of the 16th, between 11 and 12 o'clock, which, but for the prompt assistance of .the officers and men of the French and Au'trtan ships of war on the station, would have been attended with an immense loss of property, and per haps of life, equal to that of the calamity which occurred nine months ago, as it broke out in a house in the centre of the town, and close to the Custom-house and the Bazaars. Immediately on the flames being per ceived, the French Admiral Lasusse and the Austrian Admiral Bandiera ordered on shore strong detachments from the officers and crews of the ships under their command ; and so judicious and energetic was the assistance thus rendered, that in a few hours the fire was subdued, but not until forty houses, some of them of large size, two schools, three Greek convents, end about sixty shops, had been consumed. Two days afterwards, a letter of thanks, signed by a large number of the inhabitants of Smyrna, was addressed to the two Admirals. The loss of property is estimated at several millions of piastres. PUGlLlSM.—Considerable excitement continues to prevail in the town relative to the affray between Eabbage and Cox, in which the latter lost his life, and on Saturday infor mation was given to the Mayor, that Eabbage had taken forcible possession of the premises on the South Denes, and was sitting at one of the windows with a drawn sword. The Mayor, we understand, had Eabbage taken into custody, and took an information against him privately, that he might be brought up for examination yesterday (Monday) morning. We believe some of the new Magistrates have determined that Eabbage shall yet be committed for t r i a l, on a c h arge o f man slaughter. —lpswich Express.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 1842. There was another debate in the House of Commons last night on Mr. COWPER presenting a petition against the income tax, and the probability, or rather the cer tainty, of similar debates every evening, seems to have moved the Tories to put forward Lord FRANCIS EGERTON to make a little diversion, and cover the Premier's retreat. That Noble Lord accordingly suggested to Mr. COWPER to withdraw the petition, and allow him to bring for ward, at the earliest possible opportunity, a substantive motion which shall settle the whole question. As Mr. DUNCOMBE observed, the Noble Lord had spread out a feather bed for her MAJESTY'S Ministers to fall on, and fall on it they will without being smothered. Lord MAHON, who, like Lord FRANCIS EGERTON, voted with Mr. T. DUNCOMBE on Monday evening, though both generally vote with Sir R. PEEL, wished for the adjournment of the debate till Friday, .in order to allow Lord F. EGERTON to bring forward his motion on Thursday. The motion was discussed, and the debate accordingly adjourned to Friday, not then to be resumed if Lord F. EGERTON'S feather bed be found in the mean time sufficiently soft to break the fall of the Premier and his companions. We scarcely understand Lord F. EGERTON'S conduct On Monday he distinguished himself, in the early part Of the evening, by both speaking and voting for Mr. T. Dux comnE, and in the latter part by uttering a violent, and, regarding the uncouth gesticulations of the Noble Lord, a furious tirade against Mr. DUNCOMBE and his friends. At five o'clock he voted that the Premier, by enforcing an antiquated order, was stifling the prayers of the people, and at 12 o'clock he was most vehement against those who opposed the arbitrary conduct of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Lord FRANCIS EGERTON of after dinner con demned the Lord FRANCIS EGERTON of five o'clock. Being of this kind of double character, having one tongue for the Radicals, and another for the Tories, the Noble Lord was a fit and proper person to step between Mr. COWPER and success, and stave off a division which would have left Sir' R. PEEL in a minority. We hope the Noble Bed-maker, otherwise Lord Eitherside, may succeed, or the Session will be wasted in a Jruit less effort on the part of the Tories to prevent the voice of the people being heard in Parliament against the in come tax. Sir R. PEEL, with an air of contrition for past offences, cordially ashamed, or at least shamming shame, admitted that he could not maintain the practice he voted for on Monday, but he declined to take an active part in putting an era to it. But a great man like Sir ROBERT, being always able to obtain some titled persons to do his dirty work, the Noble Lord we have mentioned is to act for the leader of the House. Sir ROBERT conceals his own disgrace beneath the splendid and dazzling honours of his titled foPowers. His confession, however, and Lord FRANCIS EGERTON'S motion, promise a complete seitlemerit of the question, and Mr. T. DIINCOMBE will have the high honour of wringing from the Tory majo rity of the House of Commons the recognition of the right of the people, after it has been suspended for 150 s. d. APRIL 13, 1842 PRICE 5d years, to petition against a tax intended to forms a par of the supplies for the year. Sir ROBERT PEEL's conduct on this question iv as, as usual. equally cunning and contradictory. He sub mits an income tax to the House, for which he can only find one precedent in the whole course of our history, .and the tax was then adopted under circumstances wlrick are now totally wanting. The only precedent he. can find fails him, and he boldly throws it aside„ and denies that an income tax is exclusively a war tax.. He appeals to the circumstances of the country, the de ficiency of the revenue, the impossibility to levy more taxes on articles of consumption, the loss of an army in Caubul, and war with China, to justify his proposition. In one case he is all for reason, and casts precedent to the wind. In the other he is all for precedent and treat reason as a charmer, against whom he is bound to shit his ears. Ife should stick either to reason or to prece dent ; but, to make sure of his victory, he introduces his tax as a proposition of reasop, and forbids it to be ques tioned by appealing to precedent. His cunning is now undoubted, but such crooked courses do not pass on the world for wisdom. We . I :ave more than once had occasion to complain that the Liberal cause has been much injured by it s friends. On Monday night Mr. LABOUCHERE, with the best intentions, no doubt, but with a great want of judg,- inept, followed Dr. BOWRING in praising Sir ItonEat PEEL'S tariff. As we said yesterday, it is to be consi dered as part of a system, of which the income tax is another part, aril it is impossible to approve of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff without giving approbation to the income tax. He stated expressly, on March 11th, that he meant to devote the sur- plus revenue he expected to obtain, by his inquisitorial income tax, to relieve the metal trade and the timber trade. What Mr. LABOUCHERE and Dr. ROWBING praise, therefBre, is Sir ROBERT PEEL'S determination to tax professional men and shopkeepers, to enrich those who use much timber. We regard the whole principle as erroneous; we treat such a dealing with the property of individuals by discriminating taxation as most dati 7 gerous ; we say it is levelling and revolutionary ; de grading the people beneath the Legislature as a despotism, eithout being just ; and we conclude, that the whole vicious scheme ought to be condemned and resisted. We will take the first case, as to cattle, of which Mr. LABOUCIIEHE said he approved, and stated, that had he remained in office, he meant to have proposed something of the same kind. But the Ministry of which he was a member properly repudiated, by the mouths of Lord l'slatErtsToN and Lord Joing RUSSELL, the principle of protection by discriminating duties, and only justified duties such as those of which he approves when pro posed by Sir R. PEEL, who maintains the principle of protection, as a sort of compromise and a step towards free trade. To approve of Sir R. PEEL'S tariff as to cattle, which is based like his Corn-law on the prin ciple of protection, we must see it proved that his pro posed tax is in due and just pioportion to the protecting duties on, wheat, oats, and barley, so that the production of no cane of these useful commodities shall re ceive more or less encouragement than another. At the same time we are quite aware that this cannot be proved—that it is utterly impossi ble fur any mortal man, though his head contained the brains of twenty PEELS and twenty GLADSTONES, correctly to adjust any scale whatever of discriminating duties on all commodities. The attempt is an arrogant absurdity ; and therefore to approve of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S little bit of adjustment as to cattle, adopted under the false system of protection, is to encourage him and his party in their dangerous errors and ruinous absurdities. Does any man know on what grounds Sir R. PEEL has conceded this little matter about meat ? Has he con sulted the graziers and the cattle breeders ? Has he asked the butchers or the consumers ? We believe not. He has gathered, he says, some startling information of a wonderful scarcity of cattle, of a rise in the price, and of a falling off in the consumption. All very natural circumstances, we are sorry to say, and easily explicable, notwithstanding the protection afforded by the prohibi tion to import cattle, enacted by former wiseacres like himself, to which he now attributes this falling off, and therefore proposes to remove it.. People must have bread, and they Rill have it, before beef. He has made bread dear and scarce ; the agricul turists have been tempted, and obliged, by his protecting Corn•laws, to grow more corn than they otherwise %%ould, and breed and feed less cattle. Hence the scar• city and comparative dearness of cattle as well as bread. The derangement is plainly the consequence of men at tempting to adjust what they can neither measure nor comprehend. The scarcity of cattle is the result of an unrighteous Corn-law ; and, instead of abolishing the iniquity, Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to add to it an income tax. This is grievous, and it is more grievous to have Mr. LABOUCHERE, Dr. BOWDING, and that class of politicians bribe' by a little lip homage to free trade principles, which is no homage at at all, for it is part and parcel of a 'system of protection, bestowing praise on a tariff which is the result of the Corn-law and an income tax. We are sure that these gentlemen cannot have exa mined the tariff, and we will take one of its parts as a specimen of the whole. Sir ROBERT PEEL took much praise to himself for lowering and altering the coffee duties. Now, we shall show that by so doing, he has given a much greater boon to the monopolist planters of our own colonies, already revelling in the annual plunder of the people to the amount of several millions, han to the consumers. The tariff shows that the bulk of the coffee imported in 1840 was colonial, which, at 6d. per lb. duty, yielded 373,579/. to the revenue ; and foreign, imported frees places within the charter of the East India Company, not the produce of its possessions, at 9d. duty. which yielded 544,6531. to the revenue. Now Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to reduce the duty on the former to 4d., or one-third, which, supposing no alteration in con sumption, will lessen that part of the revenue 124,5261. At the same time he proposes to reduce the 9d. duty to Bd., which will lessen the second portion of duty mentioned 60,5171. _ _ _ It is perfectly clear that the colonial coffee, a proportion to its quality, will always command in the, market a price equal to the foreign coffee. Now, because our own Colonies cannot supply us with a sufficient quantity of Coffee, and we consume a great quantity of the coffee which pays the higher duty, it is equally clear that the colonial proprietor will put into his pocket the whole difference of duty betwixt the colonial and the foreign coffee. The result, then; is, that Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. GLADSTONE, in their adjustment of the coffee duties, remit of the . taxation on coffee 60,5171. to the con sumers,. and bestow—(let the public mark this as it is done partly by Mr. GLADSTONE, a connexion of West India merchants)-124,5261; of the 170,0001. Sir ROBERT PEEL expects to lose by the alteration of the coffee duties, on the wealth-swollen and wealth gorged West India planters. Such is the tariff, which our Liberal politicians praise. That is the tariff too. the people are to buy by an income tax. If they purchase such legislation at such a price, they will be' the most besotted and befooled people that was ever struck blind by much success and most overweening vanity. LET THE LANDHOLDERS IMITATE SIR R. PEEL.— "Sir Robert is known to be a considerable landowner ; and we have been informed by a gentleman residing in Staffordshire that the Right Hon. Baronet, in order to become the sufferer himself, rather than his Staffordshire tenantry should maintain any loss or injury in the event of his reduced scale of import duties proving temporarily prejudicial to the interests of acrriculture, has ;liven in structions for their rents to be reduced' twenty per cent." — Ten Towns' Messenger.—[A very proper hint to the land lords. Sir Robert Peel s practice is superior to his preaching. In the House of Commons he has told the country gentlemen they have nothing to fear from re ducing the duty on meat, and allowing the importation of cattle. In Staffordshire he tells them, reduce your rents, my Lords and Gentlemen,2o per cent., in order to meet the alterations which I propose. For our parts we have no faith either in his words or what is. reported of his conduct, both are intended to servo a purpose, and keep alive that system of deceit which in him, from custom,. has become a second nature.—ED. San.] INCOME TAX—LANDLORDS OCCUPYING THEIR OWN LANDS.—A Correspondent asks how they are to be rated to the income tax? We answer that we do not know. We suppose that in certain cases, such as the great parks that surround the mansions of the nobility, and such as Lord Althorp, oempyin; perhaps 700 or 1,000 acres, the ren t of such l and will Ego calculated by some officer of the Government, according to some rule. and le pay accordingly. aepordingly. We take it for granted, who occupy land, being thatt persons known to possess inc omes f ar a b ov e 150/. a y ea r, twill b e m the ade landowners, op will be compelled to pay an income tax on all lamb in their own occupation of whatever description, in proportion to the value, as well as on the rent they receive from tenants. Our doubt and difficulty arises from persons of an income varying between 15C/. and 3001. a year de rived from land in their own occupation. Will they be assessed on the same principle as mere farmers, and oil' their incomes be estimated at half the amount of the rent the land they oecupy would let for? If that be th e rule; the cons eque nce will be, that all huidowners end occupiers, who with due and ordinary diligence have in comes of 2991. a year and less, which they may leave to their families for ever, will wholly escape the in come tax, while the surgeon—the next door neighbour of some such farmer—will have to pay Si. 18s. Gd. on a hard-earned professional income of 200/. a year, which is totally extinguished the instant he ceases to labour. This is oaly . one of the many hard inequalities and gross acts of injustice which will be perpetrated by the income tax. We do noi - . envy the landowner and occu pier who escapes, but we do say that a/1 other men ought to escape as be escapes, ~ /~fx-'~-~ 'C~ / C tu,oiTicEits and ()THEE S going ABROAD 4 12 WAREHOUSING DEPARTMENT, PANe ICON, BELGRAVE-SQUARE, offers peculiar ad -1411, being fitted up with Fire-proof Iron Safety Rooms , are keeping Furniture.
