They favour the former therefore, as head servants will hover their kindness on it foothoy or a kitchen wench, whilst they think it their duty, as members of the serving fraternity, to curb and plunder the latter all in their power. JOHN BULL has borne their exactions so like a careless, good natured master, that the habit of plundering him by laws has grown for them into a second nature; and while they will not take a farthing from the bread-eaters of Newfoundland, they will, on any and every pretext, take pounds from the bread-eaters at home. They seem at length, however, to have come to the end of their tether. Their pretexts are now stifling one another. Their cunning devices have become so numerous, that one puts another to death. GLADSTONE on the tariff slays GLADSTONE on the Corn-laws; PEEL, the free trader, puts an end to PEEL the bread taxer ; and we live in hope that, before the Session is over, we shall have the satisfaction of seeing the first speeches of these insincere and dishonest politicians completely refuted by their last speeches. In common with many of our Contemporaries, we rejoice at the little good, though it be but very little, which these men are constrained, in spite of themselves, to perform ; but we, never can entertain any other sentiment than the most thorough contempt for such inconsistent. heartless gamblers with a nation's welfare. '2le Pekin) ,of the totitrainotutt of taxes levied in some of the different Slatesof Ettiope, &c., just published by the House of Commons, enables us to lay before our readers a comparison of the taxes levied in Eng land and in one or two other countries. In Denmark the whole amount of taxation, general and local, is 18,160,000 rix dollars, paid by 2,020,000 people, and, taking the rix dollar at 2s. 2d., it gives about 19s, per head. The whole taxation of Sweden is 1,335,5871., its population, with Norway, is about 4,106,000, giving , as the rate of taxation, 6s. 6d. per head. This sum, mirabile dictu, includes all the payments for the churches and for the clergy. The taxes in the Netherlands—the mos t h eav il y taxed country of Europe—exclusive of the municipal taxes of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, amount to 5,368,8741., the population being '2,960,000. The rate per head is IL 16s. The whole taxation of France is 46,425,725/., which, on a population or 33,540,000, gives a rate of 11. 7s. per head. The amount of taxation in Russia is not given in the returns, but it appears to be very small, and Prussia is not mentioned. We pass by the smaller States, as not affording any ground for comparison with this great empire, and come to England. The general ordinary taxation of England, ac cording to the financial accounts for the year, in cluding the cost of collection, amounted for the last year to .53,596,250/. The local taxation, county rates, poor rates, &c., amounted last year to 6,351,8281.—[5ee Parliamentary Return, No. 235, May, 1842]—making a total of .59,948,078/. This is exclusive of the enormous tax we pay for the support of the Church (the expense of the Church in France is included in the taxation); it is also ex clusive of Sewers-rates (the expense of keeping up the dikes is included in the Netherlands taxation), Water-rates, Church-rates, London tax on coals, Borough-rates, and several other municipal vexatious imposts ; it is exclusive of the Poor-rate and Police rate in Ireland, and exclusive of the sum devoted to the poor in Scotland, all of which, or corresponding items, are, we believe, included in the taxes of the foreign countries we have referred to. But, ex cluding all these heavy drains on our industry, and taking only the public and the local taxes at 59,948,0781., and assuming that the population is in round numbers 28,000,000, that will give 2/. 2s. sd. per head as the annual rate of taxation, in England. Of course we do not include Sir R. !t_r_LEtj new tDiation. which will_add, pretty nearly 3s. a-head more. As the matter now stands, there fore, the English are by far the heaviest taxed people in Europe. They pay the most, if Government be good for anything, for the least efficient adminis tration of their affairs. But to these enormous burdens—and most enor mous they are—which are all borne by industry, for every farthing of the annual income of the country is annually created and annually consumed, and it is all created by industry—must be added the taxes on corn and provisions, and other protecting duties, as well as the descriminating duties on tim ber, coffee, sugar, &c. &c. But excluding these, our people are seven times as heavily taxed as the Swedes, three times as heavily taxed as the Danes, nearly twice as heavily taxed as the French, and one time and a quarter more heavily taxed than the heaviest taxed people of Europe. But, as we have indicated, the comparison is not accurate ; for many of our local taxes are excluded, and their's are in cluded. Thus England, 'we repeat, is by far the heaviest taxed country in Europe, with a Government which does the least. The heavy general taxation has been assigned as a plea for taxing the people's bread. To this notable argument, which is not now for the first time in vented, Dr. SMITH, in the "Wealth of Nations," long ago returned this memorable answer : Taxes upon thenecessaries of life have nearly the same effect upon the circumstances of the people as a poor soil and a had climate. Provisions are thereby rendered dearer, in the same manner as if it required extraordi nary labour atutexpense - to raise -them. As in the na tural scarcity arising from soil and climate it. would be absurd to direct the people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals and industry, so it is likewise in the al tificial scarcity arising from such taxes. To he left to accommodate as well as they could their industry to their situation, and to find out those employments in which, notwithstanding their unfavourable circuit stances, they might have some advantage, either in the home or in the foreign market, is what in both eases would evidently be most to their advantage. To lay a new• tar upon them .heettuxc they are already overburdened with ta:re., and because they already pay too dear for the necc.s:sarics to Mahe them lihewise pay too dear for the greater part of other commodities, is' certainly a most absurd way of making amends. Such taxes, when they have grown up to a certain height, are a curse equal to the barrenneSs of the earth and the • inclemency .of the Heavens, and yet it is in the richest and most industrious of countries that they have been most generally imposed. No other countries could support so great a disorder. As the strongest bodies can only live and enjoy health under an unwholesome regimen, Lo the nations only, that in every sort of industry have the greatest natural and tt , .!- quired advantages, can subsist and prosper under such taxes. Holland is the country in Europe in which they abound most, and which, from peculiar circumstances, ' continues to prosper, not by means of these, us has been most absurdly supposed, but in spite of them. England, as we have just shown by the compari son, has, since Dr. SMITH'S time, taken the lead of Holland in this ruinous career, and now far surpasses it in the amount of taxes levied on the people. In spite, however, of the warnings and admonitiOns of Dr. SMITH; Sir ROBERT PEEL is pursuing his dis tempered course of adding to the national burdens, mocking us with a pretended relief, while the cause of our distress is excessive taxation. 'We may, like other criminals, flatter ourselves that we shall alway=s . escape, but the whole course of human experience proves that this is a delusion, and that punishment of an appropriate kind as assuredly waits on the folly and the guilt of nations and individuals as water flows from a higher to a lower level. 'When we read pas sages like that we have quoted from the great teacher of the best social science, pregnant with wisdom, and know that he never hesitated to denounce legislative meddling with "the employment of . stock and indus try in the way the people judge most advantageous to themselves, as a manifest violation of the most sacred rights of mankind," we can but mourn over the degradation of this noble science in the handS of those who soem to us " to have undertaken to expound witlualt comprehending it. SMITH'S science never cpived, perhaps, a part of the popular knowledge--,it never was really in grafted into the he4rts of the people, an d became part of theii• being, and we cahnot on that account believe 4 ,- l'f-7-, — /--- - . . . , , , , , c ~ : 1 ---) , / i' L 'Viii 41 ' '- 1/ 7 °. 11 L -l l:0 : 4, - ;011 4 -:' ( ! 4 4 • ‘ ~ e A 4 • ~ , tdi• _7 , 4,417 ,7, 06. „,, . h 4 .t, , , • ----_, ~ 1 ,-, I " t• - ' '.

KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1841, the. Coinpany declared an addition to the Share tockholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits.

LADVEKTLSEMENT.] IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—iSchweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear snper fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent d e -. mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the. consumer is charged Abe same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine —the reputation of th; later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer *ill' pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea t and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective a g ents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is th e test i mon y Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no o th er can equally well endure the varia tions of c limate. Schweppe' s Lemonade is an elegant preparat ion of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholes ome properties is rapidly getting into extensive rep utation.

To hear insincere men unwittingly do homage to some great principles which they at other times deny, is a great satisfaction. While it adds to our contempt for them, it establishes the principles be yond the reach of controversy. By what fatality k was that Mr. GLADSTONE, the son of a Liverpool ship owner, got linked up last night with provisioning ships cheaply, and with the unfairness of clogging our shipping with heavy duties on their provisions, because they have to compete with the foreigner—as if that were not precisely the case of the manufacturer who sends his cottons to the Brazils, where they meet the cotton of the United States and of Germany—: by what secrot, but unfortunate, connEettriTr — nrr: GL,u)sroNE, one of the great champions of taxes on the people's food, last night became the advocate of provisioning ships cheaply, we do not care to inquire ; but we record the fact with infinite satisfaction, and can assure the Right Hon. Gentleman that every word he said in answer to Mr. CALLAGHAN, and in favour of allowing our shipping to get cheap beef, was equally an answer to Mr. GLADSTONE himself, when he argued against allowing the manufacturers and consumers to have cheap bread. Mr. GLADSTONE'S broad doctrine was that salted beef had become so dear in Ireland, and the laws for preventing ship owners from provisioning their vessels on the plea of exporting foreign provisions was so inefficacious, that it was unjust to continue the restrictions, and there fore he resisted Mr. CALLAGHAN'S motion for levying a tax on foreign salt beef, equivalent to the tax on living animals. Mr. COBDEN or Mr. VILLIERS could not have expounded the principles of free-trade, on which they ask for a total repeal of the Corn-laws, more broadly than (lid Mr. GLADSTONE. But those gentlemen, and the manufacturers of Manchester, will require to know why those principles are not to he applied to them as well as the more fortunate Liverpool shipowners. The inconsistency of our present insincere and dishonest Ministers is, on many occasions as well as on this, very remarkable. On the lath of last month they strenuously resisted Mr. LABOUCHERE'S pro-, posal to remove the duty which they have levied on flour imported into Canada. They stated explicitly that they did not impose this duty with any view to our own landed interest, or to impede the entrance of American flour through Canada into, our markets. It was all to protect the consumers of Newfoundland. The spokesmen on that occasion were this very .Alr. GLADSTONE, Lord STANLEY, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, and they said that the markets of Newfoundland were open to Canadian flour free of duty ; that the flour from the United State , paid a kluty: that the flour front the United State,, being the needed supply, would regulate - the price of Hour in Newfoundland ; and that the consequence of allowing flour to be imported free of duty into Canada would be, that the merchants of Canada would send it to Newfoundland, without allowing the con sumer there to have it one farthing cheaper than Ame rican flour, and they would put the duty, which was paid on the American flour, into their pockets. They rightly denominated this as most unfair, and most unjust. So it is. It is a monstrous thing to levy a tax on the American flour consumed in New foundland, and allow the Canadians to import'United States flour into Newfoundland free of duty. The true remedy for the injustice, is to allow flour to be imported, equally free of duty, into Canada and Newfoundland. When Lord HowicK, however, applied the prin ciples which the Ministers applied to Newfoundland, without the smallest difference, to commodities im ported from Canada and other colonies into England, the Ministers resisted him most stoutly. Though they would on no account give th 6 Canadian 2s. a barrel on flour imported into Newfoundland, they will give him 13s. or 155., as the case may be, on a quarter of wheat, Bs. per cwt. on cheese, 10s. 6d. per cwt. on bacon, l os. on butter, 6s. on salted pork, and so on, imported into England, and levied here on the price of his articles, that price being raised by corresponding heavy duties on the produce of Holland. In the case of the consumers of Newfoundland the Tories think honestly and justly, but, as the consumers in England may be plundered at discre tion,. they refused to apply to them, on Lord How!cies motion, the principle they had insisted on applying to the consumers in,Newfoundland on • Mr. La BOLT(' Il ER I: . S motion. That is only one other spe cimen of their dishonest inconsistency. We are, however, inclined to think that some part of the' tenderness shown by Ministers to consumers in Newfoundland, and disregard of the consumers in England, arises from the.fact .that they look on the - hat society has retrovaded concerning it. On the contrary; society has made on this point prodigious advances, and whatever may be the case with the Legislature, has gone ahead even of Dr. SMITH. At the same time, it is apparent that the strict verbal Ipgic of MILL, the arithmetical precision and pro portions of litcAuno, and the mere statistics of Mr. 41`Cum,ocu have degraded the noble social science, to which SMITH, be it remarked, gave a more signifi cult name than political economy, to the level of their own much humbler pursuits. He is a contemplative philosopher who essays, however short coming may be his efforts, to grasp the whole phenomena of so ciety, and detect the natural laws: which determine 'its progress and its welfare; they are engaged with a pedantic verbal logic, which never gets beyond its assumptions, with the calculations of a loan contract° who can see nothing but a balance of profit and loss, and with masses of details, which bury the under standing under a load of profitable books. In his hands, therefore, the science of national wealth was a guide to nations ; in theirs, it seems degraded into the handmaid of political tricksters, and would-be despcts. We regret to see by letters from Hamburgh, that he: MAJESTY'S subscription for that devoted city, which is strictly a personal subscription, and comes from her privy purse, is spoken of slightingly and dis para:;ingly. It is compared to the more magnificent Subscription of the Emperor of Russia of 9,0001., and regarded, therefore, as unworthy of iSngland's QUEEN. We must remind the inhabitants of thin burgh that the Emperor of RUSSIA'S gift is as the, head of the Government, that of her MAJESTY is a' gift from a private person. The British Government can give nothing but by a vote of Parliament, and, in the present condition of our own people, that is not to be recommended. The EMPRROR needs no such sanction. The great distinction, therefore, between the two sums is that the 9,0001. sent by the Russian ENII , EROII, is the gift of the Governmen( of Russia—her MAJESTY'S gift is . that of a private, but exalted, person. Let us further observe, that Russia will probably not contribute much more by its tneichantis and citizens, while England has already subscribed not less than twenty thousand pounds, and probably double, or perhaps five times that amount will be collected. We trust that by tWb few remarks we have placed her ...11AJES.TY'S subscription, as compared to that of the Emperor of Russia, in a proper light before the citizens of Hamburgh. Her MAJESTY, in stead of disapprobation, deserves great praise for her prompt and spontaneous contribution. However dark the doings, under the illegal operation of the truck system, which Mr. FERRAND'S Committee may bring to light, they will not tell stronger against the manufacturers that the Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry, as to the condition of the poor people in the mining districts, does againSt the great landed aristocracy The very opening of this huge record of aristocratical op pression is enough to make .any man shudder whose heart avarice or dissipation has not ossified. Turn which way we may, there is not a ray of hope to comfort us in wading throught this terrific folio. We find old and young, married and single, male and female, indifferently in these districts,—without education, without religion, without morals, without even a knowledge of the exist ence of Gov, or a belief in a future state, toiling like beasts, and revelling every leisure hour in the grossest sensuality. While the children of Lord LONDONDERRY and Lord LONsDALE have troops of menials to wait upon and caress them, while they are provided with horses for exercise and amusement, and the ornaments of the Uni versities for their instruction, mark how the child of the poor collier upon their estates is " dragged" up to a precocious manhood. What say the agricultural . abhorrers of manufacturing tyranny ,to the following graphic description of the life of the little " Trapper'," which we extract from 1)r. MITCHELL'S Report ? The child has been three years at cork, be it remembered, for his father carried him to the mine at fiveyears old.— The little trapper of eight years of age lies quiet in bed. The labours of the preceding day had procured sleep. It is now between two and three in the morning, and hi; mother shakes him, and desires him to rise, and tells him that his father has an hour ago gone off to the pit. Instant he . starts into conscious existence. He terns on his side, rubs his eyes, and gets up, and coulee to the blazing fire, and puts on his clothes. His coffee, such as it is, stands by the side of the fire, and bread is laid down for him. The fortnight is now well advanced, themonoy all spent, and butter, bacon, and other luxurious aecompani ments of bread are not to be had at breakfast till next pay-day supplies the means. He then fills his tin bottle with coffee, ate 4 takes a lump of bread, and Lets out for the pit, into 'which lie goes down in the cage, and walking along the horseway for upwards of a mile, lie reaches the barrow-way, over which the young men and boys push the trams with the tubs on rails to the flats, where the barrow-way and horse-way meet, and where the tubs are transferred to rolleys, or carriages drawn by horses. He knows his place of work. It is inside one of the doors called trap-doors, which is in the barrow-way, for the purpose of forcing the stream of air, which passes in its long, many-nailed course from the down shift to the up-shaft of the pit ; but which door must be opened whenever men or boys, with or without carriages, may wish to size of a common tire-place, and with the str.ng in his hand ; and all his work is to pull that string when he has to open the door, and when man or boy has passed through, then to allow the do or t o s h ut of itself. here it it is his duty to- sit, and be attentive, and pull his string promptly as any one approaches. He may not stir above a dozen steps with safety from his charge, lest he should be found neglecting his duty, and suffer for the same. He sift solitary by himself; and has no one to talk to him ;- for in the pit the whole of the people, men and boys, are as busy as if . they were in a sea-fight. He, however, sees every now and then the putters urging forward their trams through his gate, and derives some cons . 2jati74 from the glimmer of the little candle of about forty to the pound, which is fixed on their trams. For he himself has no light. His hours, except at such .times. are passed in total darkrie,s. Fo . the first week of his service in the pit his father had allowed him candles to light one after another, but the expense of throe halfpence a-day was so extravagant an expenditure out of tenpence, the boy's daily wages, that his f a th er . of course, is ithdrevr the allowance the second week, all except one or two candle, in the morning, and the week after the allowance was alto gether taken away ; and now, except a neighbour kinder than his father now and then drop him a candle as he passes, the boy has no light of his own. Thus hour after hour passes away, but what are hours to him, seated in darkness in the bowels of the earth? He knows nothing of the ascending or descending sun. Hunger. however, though silent a n d unseen , act s upon him, and he he takes to his bottle of coffee and slice of bread ; and, it desirous, he may have the luxury of softening it in a portion of the water in the pit, which is brought for man and boast. In this state of sepulchral existence an insidious enemy gains upon him. His eyes ate shut, and his ears fail to announce the approach of a tram. A'deputy overman comes along, and a smart cut of his yard-wand at once 'punishes the culprit, and recalls him to hie duty ; and happy was it for him that he fell into the hands of the deputy overman, rather than one of the putters ; for his fist would have inflicted a severer pain. The deputy overman, moreover, consoles him by telling him it was for his. good that lie had punished him ; and reminds him of boys, well known to both, who, when asleep, had fallen down, and some had been severely wounded, and others killed. The little trapper believes that he is to blame, and makes no complaint, for he dreads being dis charged; and he knoWs that his discharge would be attended with the loss of wages, and bring upon him the indigna tion of his father, more terrible to endure than the MI o - rnentary vengeance of the deputy and the putters all taken together. Such is the day-work of t h . little trap per in the barrow-way . At last the joyful sound of " Loose, loose," reaches his ear s.
