A gross system of mismanagement has long prevailel in the transport service, and the present Government do 3of seem at all inclined to abate the evil. More accidents happen to ships carrying out troops and convicts than to any other class. Scarily a year passes without • normous loss of life, caused by the wreck of 4.1 d and insufficient ships ; and notwithstand;ng tha frequrnt occurrence of such disasters, no . iaquiry has been instituted to ascertain the cause, nor any plan adopted for securing the lives of thousands o" human beings placed at the mercy of worn-out cap tains and unskilful mates. The only object Go vernment appears to have in view is `cheap ness , without at all considering the value of human life or the co.3t of the troops embarked. This i s grossly absUrd, nay, it is worse—it is an absolute crime, to risk our brave troops in ships that would hardly le onsidered fit for conveying logs and spars from Canada. And, as if they wished to make the evil greater, they send out these crazy vessel s one by one, so that no relief can be obtained in case of accident. They are, in fact, wholly unprotected. Would it no b) infinitely bo:ter. to despatch all the troops at once in the best sailing vessels that can be obtained, at whatever cost, under convoy of a ship of war, ready to protect them, and render assistance when wanted ? The first vessel despatched with troops . to India is al ready ashore off Dungeness, and it is fortunate that the wreck took place so speedily, or the whole of the troops might have been driven on the French coast or sunk in the Bay of Biscay. We sincerely trust some Member of Parliathent will take up this important question, and press upon the Government the - necessity of adopting a new plan, by which not only the lives of the soldiers shall be placed in greater security, but•the vessels shall arrive at their destination in the shortest time possible. Now that the House of Commons has consented to re ceive the petitions of the people - against an inquisitorial, oppressive, and uncalled-for system of taxation, we cab upon the trading and - commercial classes to- lose no time in petitioning for the rejection' of so vexatious a measure. A deficiency of three millions in the revenue is not sufficient to justify a British Minister in deranging the whole commercial relations of this great country—in demanding from every man in Great Britan an exact . account of the amount of his • income, 'and so leaving him at the mercy of an army of hungry tax gatherers, and dis honest rivals in trade. But, say the Tories, there is a deficiency, and money must be raised. As Sir ROBEILT PEEL has, stolen so much of his plans from. the Whigs, why did he not take that portion of it which would have made up the deficit without any income tax ? Why did he he not avail himself of the revenue derivable - from an eight, shilling fixed duty on corn, and the breaking up of the great sugar monopoly ? Here was money in abundance provided for him by the budget of his pre decessor. The people must bestir themselves to prevent the imposition of this tax, Better do that now than disturb: the peace of the country by rising up in arms against it, after it has become the law of the land. We foresee what will happen, should it be adopted by the Legislature, and, therefore, we call upon the country to stir in time. The evil must be cured ; but would it not be better to prevent it? From Madrid we have news of the 10th inst. The majority of the Deputies were opposed to a commercial treaty with England, the advantages of which would not all be on the side of Spain. They were quite willing to accept from England any modification of the import duty on Spanish wines and fruit, but by no means dis posed to accept British cottons in exchange, if they could help it. We arc still, however, of opinion that a commo ercial treaty will be adopted, which shall considerably benefit both countries. We know that such a treaty is becoming absolutely necessary for the preservation of the winegrowers, not only of Spain but of Portugal, as England is now the best wine mart in the world. Wine and fruit are among the staples of the Peninsula, whereas manufactures are in their infancy, and but little national loss can accrue from abandoning them altogether. That there will be much grumbling at first we expect ; but when trade is suffered to flow in its natural channel, conflicting interests will soon find their proper level, none being sacrificed to bolster up Others. In a letter from Madrid of the .9th inst., we find the following announcement, for the truth of which, how ever, we do not pledge ourselves : I have to inform you that Don Enrique Maria Fernando, the second son of the Infante Don Francisco, is the happy Prince fixed upon to he affianced next October to her Majesty, and that last night remittances have been sent to M. Onis by a Cabinet courier (going to Paris and London), to accompany him from Vienna to Madrid. He is nineteen years old, whilst the third eon is still younger than the Queen herself. A more unobjectionable project of marriage than the one now assumed it would be difficult to point out. England cannot consent to a matrimonial alliance be tween • the young Queen and a son of the King of the FRENCH ; a Prince of any of the German houses would be unpopular with the Spanish people ; and the quarrel between Spain and the POPE interferes with any matri monial project on the side of Italy. There is not much news in the French journal.; re eeived,this morning ; and the little there is has at Euro pean,interest. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Satur day, M. DUFAURE presented the Report of the Railway Committee, the reading of which was dispensed with, as it would have occupied the Chamber fur five hours. We have given in our Summary descriptions of .the eight lines recommended by the Committee to be under taken first.. We fear, however, that it will be many years before they are completed. The insane project of fortifying Paris is swallowing up all the surplus wealth of the kingdom. The Reform of the Criminal Code of France is occu. pying the- serious attention of the French Chambers, No subject is of more import-nce to the people o: France. We learn by a letter from Stettin that the works of the rail way from that place t 1 Berlin are proceedingly rapidly, and will be completed next year. The payments by the - shareholders are made with great punctuality and promptitude. The creditors of the late Mr. John Cockerill held a meeting .on the 12th init. at Liege. It was opened with the reading of the balance sheet, with a report from M. Soyez, the Delegate (-4 the Government. These statements showed the amount of ~lebts to be 11,763,564 f., and the assets , • 7 17.b75 640 f leaving a surplus of 6,092,076 f. A widow, named Vrinion, who had been living for many years in the Rue Payee, in a state bordering on indigence, suc ceeded, about a month ego, to a small property of 2,400 f. Excited by this piece of good fortune, she indulged in liquor, and, two nights ago, W 35 brought home by a strange woman, in a state of intoxication. In the morning, moaning sounds were heard from her room, and I.er neighbours made their way in. They found her bound fast on her bed, and gagged so as to be unable to speak, or even cry out for assistance. When released, she told them all she could recollect, which was that sae had been drinking With a woman at a public-house, whom she did not know, nor of whom could she give any description. Not unlyher money, but every portable article of value was gone. A fam.ly fete was lately celebrated in a private residence at Antwerp, in honour of a female servant, 7'2 years of age, who I ad completed her 50th year of service in the same family. An imposing, religious ceremony took place on Sunday last at BaYeux• The Bishop having received from the Pope the • retire remains of St. Eulyellitis the Martyr, which we. e ex tamed in 1819 from the cemetery of Calista, at flume ; these relics, inclosed in a rich shrine, were borne on a bier, decked with flowers, from t.V.* Bishop's Palace to the Cathedral, the procesion passing along the prii.eipels . trects, the clergy and .choristers chanting litanies, amidst an immense concourse of A letter from Constantinople rela'e s that a dispute having ar isen between a Greek artisan and hi s brother i 1 fl low-countryinaa, who claimed a debt which was ae unable to pay,• the debto irritated, by the r eproaches cast upon him, waylaid his creditor, on the 21st nit., as he was coming- out of the Church of SL Mary, and, stabbing him In various.arts of the body, killed him on the spot.

" Who runs may read." FOR.EIGN. The Commerce states, that the meeting at sea of four French ships of the line had created considerable sensation in Malta, and induced a belief that they were proceeding to Tunis. The Governor immediately ordered an equal force to be got ready to sail for that destination, when it became known that those ships were returning from Smyrna to Toulon. The Journal de Smyrne, of March 29, says:—" The depar • tore of Admiral de La Susse, with hi, two vessels, the Inflexi ble and the Santi-Petri, is talked of for the end of the week. Baron de Bandiera left on Sunday, in the frigate Venere, for the coast of Syria. It is supposed that he will touch at Rhodes and Castel-Rosso, to inquire into acts of piracy which have been lately committed in that neighbourhood. Nothing new has taken place in Syria. The Christians are still undergoing ill usage from the Druses, and have been obliged to abandon the greater part of the mounta:n." _ _ _ " The Clamber of Deputies reformed, on Friday, the 114th article of the Code of Criminal Instruction, relative to indivi dual liberty. The code gave the Judge the pewter of setting an accused at liberty, on bail, when the penalty incurred by him was only of a correctional nature. The new article, sub stituted in its stead, makes it imperative for him to do so.. M. Dufaure, Chairman cf the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the Railroad Bill had been referred for re-examination, read his report to the Committee on Saturday. M. Dufaure recommends the construction of six principal lines, ♦iz.-Ist, the Northern line, with a double entrance into Bel gium, by Lille and Valenciennes, and a branch line destined to unite Paris with London ; 2d, the line to Nantes ; 3d, the Bordeaux line; 4th, that between Paris and Marseilles; sth, another between the Mediterranean and the Rhine; ana 6th, the Eastern - line, extending trcm Paris to Strasburg. The Spanish Chamber of Deputies was occupied, on the Bth, with a discus s ion on the proposition for requesting the Govern ment:in the name of the Cortes, to present a 13,11 relative to cotton manufactures, as premised by article two of the Tariff Bill of last year. Several of the Deputies spoke, but the Is cession was by no means animated, as the Ministry made no opposition to the proposition. There were some rumours in Madrid that the Spanish Ca binet had addressed to the French Alinister fur Foreign Affairs a note protesting against the pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Paris to the French clergt, in obedience to the• Pope's mes sage, to put up prayers for the Church of Spain. The Memorial Bordelais states that Al. ()tied°, a Spanish capitalist, residing at Bordeaux has applied to the Spanish Go vernment for permission to establish pint-stock barks at Se ville, Cadiz, Barcelona, Malaga, Bilbao, Valencia, Corunna, Santander, Saragossa. and Burgos, each with a capital of six millions of rtals (1,500,000 t.), and to have the power of issuing notes, so as to facilitate the operations of credit. The Basle Gazette announces that the new constitution of the canton of Schwytz was adopted, on the sth instant, by a majority of twenty-five to seven. By this constitution there is to be a Council of the canton con&sting of sixty-six members, with an Executive Council of seven. The lair tribunal of the canton is reduced to nine members, and, ~in cases of condemna tion to death, there is to be a right of appal to a Court com posed of thirty-three members. There a:e to be no unpaid functiomarie, and the con"ents are to pay taxes not merely to the State, but also to the districts. The Constituent Assembly of Geneva adopted, on the 10th, the article of the new Constitution which fixed the number of deputies for the canton at 176. A letter from M. Linan, Engineer-in-Chief of Canals at Cairo, which has just been published, gives an interesting ac count of the public works which Mehemet Ali is getting ex, cuted. He has finished this year in Upper Egypt, all the works of the canal, on which nearly 400,000 workmen were employed. "In fcur months," say this letter, " more than forty millions of cubic metres of embankments of dykes and canals have been exeeuted, and thus Upper Egypt is at present, so to speak, sheltered from the untoward effects of an inun dation. All the bridges and other works have been com menced, and next year all will be finished. There will be wanting to complete this great system , of eanal'sation and na y gation only the grand canal of Suebe-Sillily, in Upper Egypt, the removal of the bars of the dyke k t the point of the Delta, and lastly the communication between the two seas." VITZLIC OP 3NXON. The Times c o ! aTn; the Trtg remarks on Lord Nor. manby's speech on Friday night in the House of Lords : " Lord Normanby has been meddling with edge tools, and, as was probable, has cut his fingers. On Friday evening he made an attack upon the Lord Chancellor for his appointment cf borough magistrates, and certainly tcck as little by its motion as any lion. or Noble Mover that we remember of late. The charge was, that the Conservatives had appointed b 64 new ma gistrates since last September, increasing those in Hull alone Loin -24 to 32, the a dditi ona l gentlemen being all of Minis terial politics. Lord NormanWs ape( ch did not itself promise much for his cause. It was really the production of a person who had nothing to say, and was ready to catch at any straw which would support any charge, or suggest any insinuation, however wanting in justice or in point, by which his speech might be swelled into a sufficient extent of tediousness." The Post observes, with reference to the war-mania still existing to a certain degree in France:—" If French writers and orators will vapour and talk incessantly about what France may accomplish by warlike means, she cannot but expect to be met with language indicating a sense of the folly and injustice of such bravado. If France do not mean to go to war, it is very absurd to be filling the minds of an inflammable popula tion with ideas of war. If she does mean to go to war, she will do a most absurd thing. Let her remember what was the end of her warfare when she had so great a tvenius as Napoleon to guide her ene rg i es an d t o di rec t h er battles. Without him can :he expect better success than she had with him ? Does she wish to witness again the scenes of 1814 and 1815?" In an article on the subject of Free Trade, the Adcertiser thus cursorily allud , s to Sir R. Peel's tariff:—" In exclaiming against the unwise policy of prohibitory duties, he has modified those constituting the opprei4ion cf the present system to the least possible extent ; and while the great articles of alimentary consumption are left nearly as they were under his predecessors, small monopolies are broken up, producing not so much general good a., perhaps, individual embarrassment. But the moment must come when the objects alluded to must he compassed, al though the present Premier has shrunk from the permanent fame which would have attached to his accomplishment of them, and we assume it is only in expectation of that moment the country maintains its comparative quiet under its present intolerable circumstances." The following is from the Chronicle :—" We do not wonder that the farmers should reproach Sir Robert Peal with incon sistency, both as regards the Corn-law and his income tax opinions. If there is one man in Parliament more , deeply pledged to opposition to an income tax than another, that man is Sir Robert Peel. On turning to the Mirror of Parliament, we Snd that ; on the debate on the budget of Lout Althorp, on April the 19th, 1833, Sir Robert Peel made the following energetical speech against an income tax I think Lkewiso,' said the Right Hon. Baronet (Mirror of Parliament, p. 1,331), that the Noble Lord has done well in not proposing an income or property tax. Nothi n g b u t a case o f ex tr eme neces sity can j ustify Parliament in subjecting the people of this country, in a time of peace, to the inquisitorial process which must be resorted to in order te render the impost productive, and to have recourse to such a machinery for the purpose of raising 2or 3 per cent. would be most unwise. Such a tax is a great resource in time of necessity, and therefore I am un willing, by establishing the nisatISTING inquisition with which it must be accompanied, to create such an odium against it, as would reader it impossible to resort to it in time of extreme necessity.' Who could have believed that the individual who delivered the above speech in 1833, would be found proposing an income tax in a time of peace?" We take the following from the Herald : —The slightest glance at Sir Robert Peel's entire political career, administra tive or legislative, will establish that he is not a stationary poll cian ; he has, throughout life, been a statesman of moderate opinions, and in moderation there is always progress. Again, Sir Robert Peel has fever been an impracticable or obstinate politician ; lie has never made his own convictions the absolute standard of right and wrong—of action or inaction—but has bended his personal opinions here a little and there a little, ac cording to the ne cess iti es o f t h e t i mes an d t h e pressure from without. Sir Robert Peel has not, moreover, deep and enthu siastic convictions ; he is a practical statesman, sufficiently easily acted on by external circumstances, or the state of par ties. He has always been of the juste milieu; and politicians of extreme views ha. c no right to snake his moderation a ground of complaint against him." MONEY - TRADE-COMMERCE. All branches of the Birmingham trade are depressed in an unexampled manner—commercial travellers are at a clisco.nt, and in one instance, the representative of one of the oldest and most respectable factors' houses in Birmingham travelled throughout the entire of the north-midland counties without a single order for Birmingham wares. A meeting of the Marylebone ve.try was held on Saturday, when a petition against the income tax was adopted. Lord John Russell, with Sir Henry and Lady Verney, in spected Mr. Cubitt's machinery, at Thames. bank, on Saturday, in which 1,3C0 persons are daily engaged, At Bradford and Halifax trade is a little fairer. Hudders field, Holmfirth, and Leeds, are without change, and depressed. At Manchester prices are firmer, but exceedingly low. Meetings against the tariff have been just held by the agri culturists, at Braintree, Essex, and Northumberland. ELECTIONEERING. A grand Reform dinnor was given on Thursday last at Wey mouth to Ralph Bernal, Esq., M.P., and W. D. Christie, Esq., M. P., to celebrate the victory gained by them through the late inquiry before:a Committee of the House of Commons. Upwards of 240 sat down. LAW AND POLICE. Mr. Wigney, the bankrupt, is suspected of having secreted part of his property at Brighton ; in a loft, wearing apparel and plate to the amount of from 4001. to 500/. have been found. Posting• bills have since been issued, cautioning parties against concealing the bankrupt's goods, under fine. At Dublin, on Saturday, Robert Caldwell, the attorney, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, the full period prescribed by law, for the assault on Mrs. Corbett. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. Th 3 Chevalier Bunsen has remitted 1001. from the King of ussia to the Literary Fund So, iety. Prince Albert will pre side at the anniversary dinner of this institution on the 11th of May. Six hundred and sixty-•ilht of Sir David's Wilkie's lastpro du,:tions will very shortly be brought to sale by Messrs. Christie and Manson. SPORTING. A new and Tac:ous edifice is now in the course of erection for the accommodation of the ul - seri bers at Tattersall's; it is on the left of the yard, and will be ready by the first Monday after Gmdwood races. On Saturday last the Royal stag hounds cancluded their hunting season, uhieh commenced on the 2d of November. THEATRICAL. . Donizetti's opera of d'Amore, was performed on Saturday at her Majesty's Theatre. Lablache acted the Doctor, Dulcamara, for the first time this season, Ronconi the Ser jeant Beleore, and Persiani the Adina, which was both beauti. ful and b;illiant. Her Majesty was present. ~~ r. ~ .. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA EV ENING, APRI L 18, 1412. THE ROE HAMPTON M 1) ER. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) In consequence of information having reached London last night that Daniel Good, for whose apprehension the Coroner's warrant had been i.sued, on the charge of wilful murder, had been apprehended, and woubl be examined to-day at this office, the whole of Bow-street was crowded, and represented a sea of human beings, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the wretched man ; every avenue leatting to the Court was crowded to ex cess. At ten o'clock Good was conveyed fiom the station house to the Police Court, in charge of a strong body of police of the F division. The moment be was recognised, a shout was set up so wild and so fierce as to snake the very flesh creep; we never saw the popular indignation so fiercely ex pressed, and, as one of the constables informed us, he believed they would have torn him in pieces if they could have got at him. • ( At this time the Court was quite crowded, and was swarm ing with penny-a-liners ; and some persons having obtained access to the reporters' box, Mr. If all, though applied to, re fused to allow oar repenter to take his usual place.) 'I he night charges having been disposed ot, Daniel Good was placed at the bar, charged with the wil ful murder of Jane Jones, a:ia3 Geod. The prisoner is a good-looking, _Ark c l an, rather under th e aced height, ei petty well efff ere the description given of him in the flue and Cry. He was dressed in a white fus- Cain jacket and trowsers, and ;smeared exceedingly calm and apparently indifferent, though he listened with great attention to the evidence adduced against him. On the bench, beside Mr. Hall, was Lord Montfort, one of the Sher ifs of the City of London, and othe: gentlemen. On being asked his name by the Magistrates' (leek, the prisoner replied immediately, and, a 3 we thought, somewhat inadvertently, " Daniel Good.' The first'wituess called was— Pulite Constable Gardner, V 279, who (leveed as fol lows: About a quarter to nine o'clock I was on duty in High street, Wandsworth. - From information which I received, I went in company with two lads to the house of Mr. Shiells, in Putney Palk-lane, 1 rang the door bell, and the footman an swt red it. 1 asked if the coachman was at home, he directed me to the stable, where I went. 1 told one of the lads, named Speed, to ring the bell. Ihe coachman answered it. Speen asked for the coachman, and the prisoner said, " I am the coachman." 1 then went up to him and told him that I had come to take him in cus:edy en a char go of stealieg a pa'r of • black trousers. Prisoner said " Yes, 1 bought a pair of bree ches from Mr. Columbine, and did not pay for• them." He pulled out his purse, and said, " You cant ke the money to rum." I told him I could not take the money, as that had nothing to do with the charge I had come upon. Prisoner said, " Oh, very well, then I'll go to Wandsworth and settle ir." I asked the prisoner if he would allow me to look over the stable. He said " Yes;" and aelowed me to go in. I went in with the two lads who were with me. I desired one of the lads 'to stand by Geed whilst I made the search. I searched the chaise and different parts of the buildings, but found nothing. As I went into the stable in company with Houghton; and some others, I searched various parts, and still found nothing. Whilst searching the corn-bins the prisoner said, " We will go to Wandsworth, and have it sett.ed." I sal:!, " No, I will not go tilt I have made a diligent se arch." I then desired one of the lads to come and hell, me. Prisoner then walked to the bottom stall, and I followed him over. I saw him move some hay from one side of the stades) the other. 1 told him not to do that, but to go and stand by Speed. I then moved two trusses of hay from the place to which he had moved it and some louse hay. I discovered some thing underneath the hay. I said, " What is this? here's a goose." I then heard the stable-door shut, and on looking round saw the prisoner was gone. 1 ran to the door, and found that it was locked. Speed took a pitch fork, and endeivoured to force the doer open. I then returned to the stall, to continue the search, and Mr. Houghton came with me. I removed some more hay, and saw some flesh, whicli I thought wasa sheep. One of the lads said it was a human leg. Speed turned it over when I saw that it was the trunk of a human being. The legs were cut off as high up as the hips; the arms were cut off at the shoulders ; the head was severed at the lower part of the neck, and the abdomen was ripped open to the extent of fi.tecn inches in leng h. We then forced open the door, and 1 sent the younger lad to give information to all the police that he could see in the neighbourhood. I remainec: with the body. About half an hour after police-constable V 92, came up; I desired him to go and inform the division of the circumstance. Another policeman soon after came up, and I desired him to go and inform Mr. Busain, the Inspector. 1 remained till the Inspector arrived, and by his orders assisted in a more minute search. In the third sta.! I found a mattress and two blankets tolled up, concealed under some straw. I unrolled the mat tress and found a large stain as of urine upon it. I made no further search. I omitted to say that I saw a small quantity of blood on the lay near where I found the trunk. Mr. Hate to the prisoner—lf you wish to put any question te the officer you are at hberty to do as? Prissner—l have no question. Robert Speed was next examined.—He raid I live in High street, Wandsworth. lam to the employ of Mr. Cooper, the grocer. On the 6th of April I went to Mr. Shiells' house in cempany with the last witness. I went with him into the stable, and assisted him to search it. The officer left the pri soner in my charge in the stable. As the policeman was searching he called out, " What's this." I made a step to wards the place and the prisoner immediately daited off' and locked the door after him. We tried to break open the door ; but, not succeeding, we returned to the stall and continued the search. I saw the constable find the body of a female. I saw no bleed. It was very dark, as we only had a lanthoin to search by. I afterwards was present when the mattrase and blanket were found. I have not known the prisoner long, but had seen him before. Prisoner had no questions to put to this witness. Thomas Houghton deposed—l knew the prisoner before. Prisoner had lived in Mr. Shiells' house upwards of two years. I was Presents during the search ; but I know nothing of the female whose body was found. I do not know, of my own knowledge, that the prisoner occupied any part of the stable. Mr. HALL said it was unnecessary te take any more evi dence eel tire to searching the stable and finding the body. Thomas Bicknell, superin'endent of the Vi andsworth police, deposed that on the night of the 6th April, he went to the stables of Mr. Shiells on being sent for by the officer, the first witness. He proceeded to the harntss-room—there was a fire-place in the room. Two officers searched amongst the ashes, and they found a quantity of human bones. The bones were shown to witness, but he did not see them taken out of the ashes. The trunk of the deceased remained in the cus tody of the officer until after the inquest. Thomas Houghton, being sworn, said he was gardener at Mr. Shiells'. The prisoner was coachman there. Witness had lived at Mr. Shiells two years. After the trunk had been found witness and the bilker went into the harness-room. They all entered together. Witness saw the officer examine the ashes in the fire-place. Some of the bones appeared to witness to be hones of the s k u ll an d knee. The police-officer took possession of the bone s . N o b o d y but the coachman (the prisoner) had acces s t o t h at room . H e always locked the door and kept the key. The fire Was laid with wood and coke. Witness Slept about fifty yards from the chimney of th e h arness -room, and there the harness-room. The day before this disco ver y, a grea t smoke issued from was a strong smell as if singing horse flesh. Witness had seen a female in the stable-yard once, but he did n t know who she was, and never saw her efterwartis, Elizabeth Crispin deposed that she had k no trii t he pr i s bt er for two years, She resided at SOUth-street, Manchester. square. Witness lived in the same house as Mrs. Good. At the inquest on the body of the deceased some clothes were pro duced to witness, and she recognised them as having belonged to Mrs. Good. Had seen Mrs. fated last en the Scl of Aprils not since. She left the house on that day; brit she did nbt leave with the prisoner. Mrs. Good had dyed in the house two years, and she never slept out of the house before the 3d of April. A bonnet was produced at the inquest, which witness could swear to as the property of Mrs: Goodt Withess drift! not say if the deceased had Oh that bit het when she went out. Ihe neat day brit one the prisoner called, and he had a little boy with him, Witness asked him if that wee his little bey, and he said it was hot, ihtl he said 1113 boy wks In the country with his rhitster. The prisoner said they were to have a ball at the house that night. Lydia Susan Butcher deposed that she resided at Woolwich. She knew the prisoner. had known him Mr softie tsbark £3.11 not know the temele telth tekliled in South -street, and went by the stern* of Gland. The prisoner came to Woolwich on last Wednesday wee'e. It was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. He did not remain long, and whets he left he said lie was going to Putney. He to It it child that was living with witness away t'Ath Illms The prisoner bretight with him k. Shawl, a bonnet, and fur tippet, and a pair of boots. The prisoner said he had brought these things as a present fur witness. He told her that hit vsPe had died four years ago, and that the things had belonged to hsar. He said he had some more, anti he W•billd bring theill another time. The artifelet ranained in the possession of witness, till an officer came to inquire about the pr.soner, on the 7th, which was the day after the prisoner had been there. Witness told the officer that the prisoner had been there the day before, and she des livered to the officer all the articles the prisoner had left. The officer took possession of them, and related to witness w hat h a d occurred. [The witness wept bitterly during the whole time • she was giving her evidence:] James Parry, of the R division of police, deposed that he went to make inquiry of the last witness at her father's house, in Woolwich. Witness inquired if the prisoner had been thstre, and she said he had, and that he had left something. The ar ticles v(ere produced ) end the Witness took possession of them, and they had been in his custody ever since. ( Witness here produced the articles.) The articles were as described by the last witness. On the Saturday following witness went to South-street to get the articles identified. They were iden tified by witness, Mrs. Crispin. Lydia Butcher was re-called—The prisoper skid he had a mangle in Saute-street. He told the s, itnesa to go to South street and get the mangle and keep it. He said it was his wife's mangle. He gave witness a key of the room in which the mangle was, in South-street, Mrs. Crispin re-called—Could swear to the bonnet pros duced, togetaer with the boots They were the property of Jane Jones, otherwise Jane Good. She always passed by the name of Good. She and the prisoner lived its man Ind wife. She was a middle sited woman. The prisoner used to come to visit her generally early in the morning, as early as five o'clock. Witness did not see her leave the house on the 3d of April, but knew that the deceased I,ft about twelve o'clock. The bonn e t produced had been worn by Mrs. Good fbr the last year and a half. Never tnew the deceased to have been ab sent one night b e f ore the 3d April. When she went out on that day she said to the bo ss Good bye, God bless you ; take care of yours e lf."

Th ey came to tea. The woman Ind a pair of boots on similar to those pro duced. 'This was about half-past. four. The woman appeared to be upward s o f forty. The prisoner said he was anxious to get back to Isis master, and the woman was to proceed to London. The prisoner called again on the Tuesday, and had a litee boy with hnu. Ho wished the witness to Like charge of the child fora few days, which she consented to do. The boy was left with witness The boy went away with a woman next day, and witness has not seen him since. During the Sunday the prisoner and the female quarrelled. The name of Sarah Butcher was men tioncd, and the female seemed very much hurt at hearing the name mentioned. Saran Young deposed that she resided in South-street, Manchester-square. he did not know the prisoner, but was acquainted H ith the female, who passed as his wife. The fe male asked witness to go fur the child to East Lodge. '1 he Inspector, in auswer to a question from 31r. Hall, said he hal or ly ihe person s who took the prisoner into custody at present in attendance. Mr. HALL—Have you no others before them ? Inspector— ' Yes ; there are about 14 or 15 more, but it mill take some time to get them together,. Mr. HALL—'hen Inspector—Yes; do.do yo u w i s h the prisoner to be remanded? Mr. HALL then directed the Clerk to read over the evi dence taken to the prisoner. Clerk—Pi ismer attend to the evi(lence I am about to read.

Air. HALL then addressed the prisoner,. and said—You are not found to say anything, but what you do say will be taken down, and may be used against you at your trial. It is now pr' posed to remand you till Thursday next ; if ou wish to make any observation upon that application why I should not remand you, I will hear you. The prisoner said he had no:hing to say, and the further hear ing f the case was postponed till Thursday next. We think it right again to notice the conduct of the sitting Magistrate. It has already been obse.ved that our Reporters were refused the tuna] place allotted to the members of the Press. Mr. Hall issued an order to the Usher to admit the Reporters to the Times and the Morning Herald to the table usually occupied by attorneys. They were admitted, and there was plenty of room at the table for others.; but our re porters, together with reporters for several other journals, were told that they must stand amongst the crowd, and if they de murred they would be turned out. Shortly after this several private friends of the clerks were admitted to the places that were vacant.] make that Speech with which she had opened the last Session cf Parliament, in which, after stating the necessity that existed for raising the amount of the public re veeue, her Majesty directed Parliament to consider whether revenue could not be raised in the manner least burdensome to the people, by a recnnsitimaticn of the import duties, and of the duties cn corn—after haying, as aplinister of the Crown, advised her Majesty to deliver that speech, he could not object to the principles on which it hail beer proposed to effect the present changes. But if the Honourable Gentlemen opposite had, before the dissolution of the last Parliament, made known the principles on which-they intended to act— if they had la,t year stated the .principles they intended so pursue, he thought the proposal of those changes would not have produced the panic which he new understood existed in many parts of the country on the subject.—(Cheerse) It would have been perfectly possible for them to have stated last year, after saying that they had no confidence in the then Government, that, with regard to the general principles on which the commerce of the country eight to be, for the future, regulated, they were of opinion that there were many duties payable on the importation of foreign commodities which ought to be reduced to a nominal nmetint, and that in many instances in their opinion the prin ciple of protection had been carried to too great an extent. If they had done so the people and the farmers of this country. who locked fur plain dealing on that subject, they would have understood what was meant, and seeing that both of the great parties of this country, and that both Houses of Parliament., were agreed ui on this principle— they would have have had time to consider, and would have concurred in the proposal, ehether it had been trom one Government or the other. But they seemed to him, even now, when they had adopted this psinciple, to hesitate in saying that which it seemed trim to be the only thing that could be add on the eubjeet,l•and which he had always sa.d from the firtt moment, that it might isrpduce inconvenience, injui y, acid loss to some extent, to thosl interests which would be affected; but that thateloseeveireld , beiepaid, and much more than re; aid, by the fnture-gexi&ii.preeperity of the country.— (Cheers.) But they did not do io: tbee , were continually say ing, when speaking of the agricultureilprosection—there were two things which they said, and"- which had been said by the Right Honourable the„ Secretasy of the Home Department—that the price of the various articles of consumetion could be reduced, but, as hod been said by the. Noble Lord the Secretary of lrelend, that the producer would not find any reduction in their proditce.,—(Laughter.) His wish was, that if they took sound principles they ought to be prepared to avow them: With respect to many parts of the tariff, he was quite ready to support it.— Lou.l cheers.) But there was one thieg which he coefe.fsed equired explanation. There was a heavy duty on the imp or atian of foreign copper, but they did not forbid smelting, the consequence of which was that they introduced into this country copper used for the purpose of smelting, obit that af,er wards that - copper was sol.l at a liver price iii foreign countries than copper could be obtained at in thin Two years ago copper went from this country and was sold 20 per cent. cheaper than it could be purchased for their own dockyards. That was a proof of the absurdity of the law, hut if they proposed to change it, they must also abandon the argu ment they steed by in the case of sugar.—(llear, hear.) In the present ease they were favouring the mines of Cuba, mines worked by staves.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") they r&u.ed to change when the question was between the consumers of sugar and their own slaves in the West Indies, and they abandoned it when it wes between slave produced ore and the minei of Cornwall. It might be right, but let them not stand by the argument in the case of sugar. He hoped in the ca=n of the tariff, they would not ouly alter some of the details, but extend the principle. All he asked was that they should act on the principles they had themselves acknowledged to be just. This was not the moment to impose an Income tax, for all clas , es were divided as to its principle, and were ready to propose some especial grounds of exemption or modification, while there was not that great sense of peril or necessity which would lead men to pay it without evasion from a sense of patriotism. He was convinced other means .orraising the revenue might be found, and his own propositions having been decided aginst, he could take no other course than to move that the Bill be read That day six months. Sir R. PEEL said, the Noble Lord had felt it incumbent on himself to take the rather unusual course of resisting the first reading the bill, which he had brought in, in conformity with the decision o: that. House. The chief argument cf the Noble Lord had been a personal appeal, and arg amen tat um al kontinem, address to himself; founded on a speech he had etude in tho year 1833, in which the Noble Lord said he had found his own arguments more strongly expressed. He was glad the Noble Lord had found that consolation. But he would adder-es himself to the argument which the Noble Lord had thus derived from him against the imposition of ass Income tax at the present pried. It was, of course, always important, when appeals were made to the opinion of anyone in support of a proposition to take into account the circumstances under which the opinion was derivered. lie hail stated, in the year 18.33, his objections to the imposition of an Income-tax; but, he would ask, what was then the financial position of the country ? There was then a net surplus, according to the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of 1,500,00n/.—(Cries of " Hear, h. ar.") That was the estimated excess of revenue over expenditure. Lord Althorp then proposed a considerable reduction of taxes, which would lead to a loss of 1,0d0,000/. of revenue. But Lord Althorp calculated tdat there would sti:l be a net surplus of about 516,0001. That was the financial slate of the country when be (Sir R. Peel) had been called upon to delver an opinion talon the subject. Proposals had be , n made to reduce the malt -tax, to reduce the house-tax, to reduce the window tax, and it was proposed to impose a property-tax by way of a com mutation for the remission of the house and window-tax. He (Sir R. Peel) had decidedly objected to the imposition of a Property tax as a commutation for the malt tax, and-the house tax, and the window tax ; and if at the present moment they had a surplus of half a million, and it were proposed to re peal the malt tax, and the house tax, and th e wind o w tax, and to substitute a property -tax for thinks taxes, he should have no hesitat'on in refusing to accede to such a proposition, and voting as he hod before voted, aea'nst the imposition of a pro perty-tax. The Noble Lord had alluded to what he ( Sir R. Peel) had said on the subject in 1833. Now what course had he taken in 1833? Lord AI thorp had lost the malt-tax, and Lord Al thorp had then asked him (Sir R. Peel) what course he ought to pursue, and he (Sir R. Peel) had assured Lord Althorp that the Right Hon. Gentleman might rely upon his (..r 11. Peel's) support; if, to maintain public ci edit, he should deem it necessary to come down to the House, and propose to rescind he vote abolishing one half of the. malt-tax ; and he might say that it was mainly in consequence of the assurance he (Sir R. Peel) Lad given, that Lord Althorp had come down to the House and proposed the s rung measure.of re seinsling the vote of the former evening, and on that occa-, s'en, laying aside all .party - considerations, he (Sir Robert Peel) had given his support to • a Ministry to which he was politically opposed, and again i t many of those friends with whom he had been in the habit of act ng, because be was determined to maintain the credit of the country.—( Cheers. ). The Noble Lord had mainly relied upon what lie (Sir R. Peel) had said with regard to the Pro perty -tax on that occasion. Now what was the resolution which Lord Althorp himself had proposed on that occasion, and proposed, too, in a time of peace ? His (Lord Althorp's) resolution stated that the defi ciency which would be occasioned by the reduction of the tax on malt, on hops, and on windows could only be supplied by a general tax on proye:ty and income, which it was then in expedient to propose. He had said if ou will create a deficiency in the revenue, there is no alternative but the im position of a property-tax, and he had pledged himself if the Minister of the day had been defeated on tee malt-tax, the house-tax, and the window -tax, to assist in the imposition of an Income-tax. '1 he Noble Lord had referred to his opinion respecting thepropriety of the imposition of a property-tax in Ireland. It had been proposed to him to impose a property-tax, as a commutation for other taxes. It had, on that occasion, been proposed to relieve Eng land of the house-tax and window -tax, which would be giving England sortie compensating advantage. But what compensation, he had asked, did thee propose einneesesseezereesiceleseenecenassareanneweeetes e ast eu eses one of the gr. at objection to the property tax was that it did not apply to Ireland, and that in proposing a tax of a temporary duration, he proposed to exempt Ireland.. He proposed to raise from Ireland, by a tax on spirits, an estimate amount of, as near as he could calculate, equal to the amount from a property tax. He then estimated the di t ty raised by assimilating the stamp duty in England, which he thought amounted to a tax on property . He retained his opinion, although he thought that, under ordinary circum stances; Ireland ought not to be exempt, notwithstanding the opinion he expressed in 1833. He retained his opinion, that, upon the whole, he had taken a just and politic course in pro • posing to raise contributions for , the burdens of th e country by an Income- tax. — ( Hear, hear.) Ile had riot exempted Ireland, but had raised a contribution in another way. As it had been stated that he had differed in opinion, it was but fair to read that opinion which he held on the occa sion referred to, and every time he had spoken of an Income tax: The Right Hon. Gentleman then read an extract from one Of his epeeehes in 1833, when he stated that a repeal of half the malt tax carried with it a repeal. of the whole tax, and that the only thing calculated to make up the deficiency was that which he was opposed to a Property-tax; and that to propose that would be a great calamity. lie considered that an income-tax was inseparable from a Property-tax. This was the opinion which he held in 1833. admitting the inquisito rial net:See of the tax, and objecting on that ground, nd cbjecting to its being made a commutation fOrt taxes. But they had then a clear surplus of 1,500,00!. lie *tbed whether or no the circumstances of the country were iri flie tame position as they were now. The Noble Lord had said that there would be a univeisal distaste therefore the Noble Lord must and dislike to this tax', am.: admit that nothing but a sense or duty would induce any Minister to propose it. if Le was to expect that the country was dissatisfied. If he was t o nic e ,. h s.b jections, he would ask the Noble Li rd what could induce hire: to Make such a proposition but a conviction that he was uphold ing and maintaining the public credit. The Noble Lord said he could see no financial netetsityy and they ought not to have mentioned the disaster in India its speaking of that necessity. Ile (Sir B. Peel) had been referred to she opinion of gentlemen who bad some knowledge of Indian affairs. Ile (Sit It: Peel) thought he could produce to the Noble Lord and to the House atithetities to show that the existing dis tressed state of the country had been materially affected by the state of India. But lie did not refer to them in support of the Income-tax, but he was told that he could name no public disaster s and that he could find no political necessity or public emergency, and he therefure had referred to Caubul and Affghenistan, and he had mentioned them in consequence of what had been said, that no public disaster had occurred. But with respect to their own position and the con dition of our finances apart from the Indian eon. siderations altogether, let them consider what was the state of tee defficiency of the last six years. Let them consider that it would amount to at least ten mallet 5, and in a time of peace. Alter yenrs of general peace this was the practice of this country, that striking the balance of the ex penses over income, for the last six years alone, the deficit was ten millions. 'lbis, too, was rictlieg of very common occurrence when the notice of it could be postponed till next rear, but that it was a growing and increasing claficie ti cy. What was the amount of the present year only, i t would cer tainly hot be less than 2,700,050/. But he had the strongest stone:mien that when they came to strike the balance of expen diture the income on the sth April. 1h43, putting the It dian question out of •he question altogether, there would be a deli -it of 3 m illi on s, a net deficit of 3 millions, indepent'ent of India Well, then, lie thought, under thoseconsideranuns, that noone could abject to the preposition be had rn , de ; . and that with re spect to the tariff, the reduction he had made would be for the ultimate benefit of all classes •of the community . Now, he believed that throughout the manufactu, in , and trading ports of the corrimunity there would be an universal impression that the measure he proposed would benefit the country at large. 'I he .oble Lord might say there ought to be great reductions made in the duty un corn and tbe duty upon sugar and other articles; but the Noble Lord should consider that the, reductions which he (sir Robert Peel) If he had inscribed ti) a leather tax, or a malt tax, and a salt tax, lee knew they would have been productive, for, it I.ad been truly said, that, if they waisted to raise millions, they must tax millions. Entertaining, however, a confident hove that the revival of trade, and the additional consumption would enable them to relieve the country from this tax, te trust ag' n say 1-1 h T!t the, w..s a • • •,,t T'E EX!'RESS EDITION. SUN OFFICE, llalf-past E; ht. THE INCOME-TAX. Lord J. RUSSELL (in continuation from our Third Edition, said—Therefore the s uestion which the House had now to decide, and in Which many Honourable Members consider they could not concur with him without approving of what he had proposed on a former oecosion, was, whether the flight Hon. Gentleman's proposal should be acceptei, or whe ther some other alteration should be approved of by the House. After that division, it being very late at night, and the House b. ing fatigued with the s-veral discussions, and the Right Hon. Baronet intimating that he meant on this day to move the first reading of the Bill, he (Lord John Russell) thought it more convenient rot to take a division then. He therefore come to this question to oppose it as theugh it were a quest bin for leave to bring in a Bin, to which Bill he had an insupeiab'e ob jection. He would not attempt then, having already troubled the Hoes:: at length upon the question .of the resolut'ons he had had the honour to propose, he would not attempt again to go over the general arguments agains the propoeiten. But he must sly, that he looked at the conclusion of the debates of last week, and he considered that the argu ments then used against this proposition had been unanswered by the Bight Hon. Gentleman and his colleagues. The general arguments which he (Lord .L Russell) had attempted to eeta bl sh, in which severe' of his Hen. Friends had followed him, that this tax ought not to be imposed; except in times of ex treme necessity, and that that case of extreme necessity bad not arisen; that there were no such circumstances iu the general state of the country which justified such a step, and that the financial difficulties of the o et. try were such, that much less objectionable measures might have been adopted. When he (Lord J. Russell) ;spoke the other evening, he found that the general course of argu ment was not only the course of argument which the Members with whom he had generally the hap / loess to agree used, but they were the arguments which were stated very forsibly some )ears ago by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, now the organ of the present Government, against imposing such a tax. lie was not aware of the arguments at the time last week, but if he had been aware he did not think he could have better tallied his own with that Right. Hon. Gentleman's. He would read those arguments to the House made Ise of by the Right Hon. Gentleman in 1833 neon this subject, in speaking against Lord Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. He then aid nothing could justify the Noble Lord in proposing an income and property tax but a case of extreme necessity —( Cheers) in subjecting the . people of this country, in a time of peace, seeing that an inquisitorial process must be resorted to (Loud cheers.) He must have made that declaration in a pro phetic snood, and he then eontemplatedhis proposition of 1842. Therefore, when he stated the other ob.ections that were made to the tax, be did i oj. think it was very justly observed that it was only from their disposi.ion to find fault with everything the present Government did, that they ventured to give their opposition to a proposal s o h arm l ess and unobjectionabl e as that for an income tax.—( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon: Gentleman went on to say, " such a tax was a great resource in time of war, and he was therefore unwilling to establish slash an inquisition, as it would be accompanied with an odium against it, that waled render it almost im possible to resort to it in a time of extreme necessity.'. That was the objection which he !Lord J. Russell) had ven tured to repeat in the name of the Right. Hon. Gentleman. He had not ventured to make it in such strong language, or to say that it would make it imp ssible to resort to it in case of necessity, but that should it be necessary to resort to it in such a time of need, it would give the people such a distaste to the tax, and it would become so very unpopular, that it would be • a great bar in the way of any Government who might wish to establish it in a time of great peril. One of the arguments which had been stated in favour of this tax, and upon which the Right Hon. Gentleman relied for its popularity, was, that it would only affect persons of incomes above one hundred and fifty pounds a year ; and, in speaking of the petitions against the tax, he almost invited the poorer classes to petition in favour of :t, in order to put down the petitions of those who felt themselves aggrieved by its being imposed on them. He should say, that that invitation was quite unjustifiable,, because the persons immediately and directly affected by this tax were as much objects of the consideration of the House, being professional men, clergymen, and surgeons, persons who were struggling almost with as much difficulty as the common labourer, to maintain their families in that decent respectability which be came those possessed of education, and accustomed to the comforts of life. But he had also stated that though this tax would not directly affect the labouring class, it would indirectly, by diminishing the means of employment. The Right Hon. Gentlemen ball expressed the same sentiment- in 1633, yet new they were told that it must be a popular tax, by taking advantage of the p ej u di ce th a t might arise that it solely affected the rich. They might depenl on it it would affect all classses of labourers, and that the opinion of the Right Honourable Baronet in 1833 would turn out to be a sound one. There was another question with respect to the tax, and of which very little notice hid been taken in the course of that debate, but upon weich both Lord Althorp and the Right Hon. Gentleman had expressed their opinion in 1833, lie meant that portion of it which related to Ireland. He was very glad that Ireland was to be exempted from the tax. He thought it an inquisitorial, an oppressive and unjust tax, and he was very glad that brie portion of the United Kingdom was to be exempt' from it.--( Hear, hear.) But he could nut 'understand why, if it was not desirable to have an Income-tax in Ireland, it vas desirable to have taxes upon stamps and upon articles of consumption, and to pursue thee the reverse course to that which was pur hued in Efiglend. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Why, if these principles of taxation were right ; why not apply them to Ireland as well as to England? If their plan with respect to Ireland was right, why would not the plan be as good in Ergland and in Scotlanci? It was said the Machinery was wanting, but the Bight Hon. Baronet proposed to lay d tax Upon the landed property of absentees, and there mast be tome machinery to find out what was the income &dishi e r; from that property. 'the eettuts tinder the Poor law Act were to be applied to that purpose, but if applied for that purpose they might also be applied to a still greater extent. It was clear, therefore, that that was not a sufficient reason for exempting Ireland from the tax. But what paid the Rieht Hen. Gentleman in 1833, with regard to this fax y The Bight Hon. Gentleman said "he wished to see Ireland favoured as much as possible, but to impose a property tax upon Etiglatiti and Scotland/ and to exempt Ireland flbm its 6eteatioe Would be the height of injustice. (Hear, hear, and laughter, from the eipposeion.) However unpopular that opinion might be, he craild not but declare that he thetight it wouel be exceedingly unjust." 1 3 E0.-4—Ge bfii Lord S. RUSSELL Said he had n6l. the meane of doirg-so— he had thought that declaration sufficieht.—( Hear, hear.) He could quite , understand that what was in ex p e di en t in 184 Might, through a chafige of circumstances, become expedient in 1842, but how that w hich Was unjust iti 1863 could become just in 1841, quite exceeded his compreliensiote If there were passages in the Right Hon. Gentleman's tpeeth ih which basing proved that the exemption would be. unjust; he prbeed that it , iftifild be exee, dinghy lust; it was net ip his (bell John Russell's) power to quote hose passages. Ont ef the Right Hon: Gentlemen's col leae ties had declared, that he Mild dtees tee a Statement to that House—(Laughter)—and it was very eessible therefor,e that, he had made a Speech, proving both that It wdtild be iiiljust, ainl that it boss d ertet:(Laughter. ) The speech of th e Ri g ht Honourable teentlefilatt oh that occasion contained the pith and substance of all the arguments which had been urged against the tax in the course of that debates atilt lie had felt great satisfaction in finding that his own objections wefts those efitettailied by the Honourable Gentleman in 1833; He had heard metty tittetnpts me& by lieneufable Alt inbert ip the eourSe of that debate to Faint in dark colefirs the eiteseetity of the country and to te present: her meads of meeting her enethies in the molt unfavourable light: These representations had natitrally eeraketied ,the indighatien fif his tlight Hein Friend the Member for Portsmouth, and he shared with him in that feeling. Now, let them look at those portions of the empire to which they were accustomed to look when taking a general stirvey of its affairs: There ivas the. United leingecm of Eng land, lecotlahci, Slid Ireland lh a etale of tt ktiquillityr With respect to our foreign possessions, reference had beets tnade to Canada. For some years there had been a popular Assembly existing in that country. That Assernely had made a demand which implied.a total independence of this Country. Tile con- sequence was that there had been an inftaction of the great constitutional principles that the revenue raised in Canada should be applied fur particular and specified purposes. Those events had extended from 1622 to 1837. In the Parliament, as now ennstituted, he lerlieted a tery considerable majority were well affected to the Cretin and the leriti s h et n ei r e. S ome hints had been thrown cut of the dengei Uf ::ear ifs Etirdpe, but when did a Minister of the Crown propose a tax ol such a contingency? With respect to the melancholy reverse which Lad been experienced in India, it had been clearly shown that, viewed in a financial point of view merely, that deplcrable calatnity did riot requite the imeteltioh el art oppreesiee, enjast, unequal, and inquisitorial tax upon the people of this country. Then, much was made of the state of our relations with China ; and really one member of the Cabinet, alluding to our dangers With tespect to China, spoke of the Emperor of China as if he had been the Emperor Nepolooli, and as if the fleet of junks, at Canton; had been the flotilla at Boulogne. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He had used language upon the subject, Which no Minister would have ven tured to use in the face of the mighty dangers which threate ne d the country in 1804 arid 1605. Now he (Lord J. Russell) telt no apprehension with respect to the war in China. It was a war, it should he remembered, the expenses of which were confined to the country in which it was carried on. If they had a war with any of the Powers of Europe or eith the United States of America, they would find it necessary to strengthen their coloniel possessions, and they would take care that there should be no point either by sea or land, at which their interests would be endangered. But no body would apprehend that the Chinese would capture Jamaica or would attack Gibraltar, or do any of those things which the Great Powers of Europe might be expected to attempt. They had, besides, this alternative, that if the Emperor of China should refuse to conclude a treaty, and no put an end to hostilities, they might seize upon some convenient sea-port in his dominions, and carry on still their commerce with the Chinese. They might hold either Canton or Chueanerind they would then be enabled to carry on -their trade more securely than they had done during past years, when these sueerintendent had been ic suited and the safety of their commerce constantly en dangered by the hostility of the Government of China. But supposing that their expenses should be increased by the Chinese war half a million a-year —suppose they should have to pay the whole expenses of that war—and suppose that war should continue for same years, still that would be no excuse for the imposition of an income tax.---( Cheers.) He now came to the second part of the subject, on which, no doubt, they would all, hereafter, have frequent opportunities of speaking; he meant ;!;at part of the priv,s.tion 1., • f e e 'le rut'. 1;e bus c•t az:y the ' ' c,pits ;At welch those adelaiions had been proosed. Ateer 11"oUldb"be having, as a Minister of th e C rown , advised h er Majesty to v this ii,x upuii tiit, opurty hi ale cutuitiy, ban there by reviving the malt, salt, leather, and other taxes, vKiich, after all, must be paid by those whose condition 114 m cst wished to improvn. %Vhatever opinions he had eepresseti in 1e33, he had a firm conviction that he was consulting the in crests am' security cf ore rty mere by imposing this tax ue o ° income, than by subjecting the great mass of the working classes of the country to indirect taxation.—( Hear.) 4 (1- 1 mitting the evil of it, yet he had the enose confident opinion that the tax was not only just in itself, considering the manner in which prop rty had accumulated, but that, by call ing upon these who made profits in trade—by calling upon the higher classes, who had set, he must say, an example of their willingness to come forward and bier their share of the burden, he was doing that which was most consistent with the ntercsts of trade, by whom the bulk of property was possessed. He was confident that, if Parliament would set that example. there would arise a feeling of sati , faction among the great consuming classes of the country wnich welsld amply coreeen" sate them for the sacrifice they would make.—( Hear, hear.) Net tN ithstanding the expressions the Noble Lord had quoted-- netwilwithstanding the decided opinion which he still retained-- that if they had a surplus of 1,500,000 e, to attempt to impose an Income-tax, in lieu of a window tax or a house tax, woul d be most unjust and mostunwise, on account of the inquisitorial nature of the tax. Concealing none of these objections, yet the result of the enquiiies he Lad made, and of the commit" nications he had neeived fro m various parts cf the countrl was to zontir.n him in the imeressicn whi c h he entertained when he proposed the tax, that in a chain of difficulties the proposal which he had made was the best which he could have devised.— ( Hear, hear. ) They wi re now discussing the gel s,'; lion at an imusual static ; and he wou ld cot fine himself to ariswr ring the Noble Lord upon the subject i rnediately before the llouse.—( Hear, hear.) It would inconveniret that he :hould then enter into an/ discustion upon thuseeff ; but he thought he should, when the iroper tine arrived, be able to show that the contenn' plated reductioes in the tariff might be made consistently with the interests of the proeucers aswe 11 as the consumers. Ile would take that opportunity of mentioning two notification; he hid made in the measure for the purpose of removing the objet' thus which had been made in the course of the discussioa - One had reference to the tenants in Scotland. It had been stated—and stated very truly—that the position of the tenant in Scotland, was different from the position of the tenant. in England—that the tenant in Scotland was subject to no payment on account of tithes—ilia( the tenant in Scotland was subject to none of these payments which usually fell in Englan d upon the occupying tenant, but which in Scotland were borne by the land. In point offact by the Ace cf Ibo 6, a differencewas made to subject any of the cLs;es under Schedule D to that •iuquist" lion to which be was subjected by the Bill of 1E306, would h e unfit.. lie did not allude to the deference of tenure . iii the case of funded property there was no difficulty, as any cne with any curiosity in the affairs of others might ea-ily ascertain the amount of another. man's funded property. The same was the case with regard to land. The arrangement lea proposed to make with reearte to property in Schedule D was thi s i —He propose° to leave the Act .of 1806 as he found it -- namely, to permit those who preferaed going before Local Commissioners, appcinted in their own neighbourhood bf •• apparently but not really in favour of the Scotch tenant. He had eteleavoured to place the occupying tenant in Sergio,'" nearly on the same footing of the occupying tenant in England In theca e of the English tenant who occupied land tithe fre e r he would be entitled to a deduction of one-eighth, from the amount of his assessment, and it was clear that to that deduction the Scotch tenant was also entitled. In the case of the Eng lish tenant who had that charge paid by the landlord, he ♦sass, also entitled to the deduction; substantial justice required the t the Scotch tenant should have a deduction of one-third on th ° rut eod of one-half. The great objection made to this tale's! its inquisitorial nature. It had been sad with great force, that parties .ndependent of the Government, to retain the po wer e a , doing so. But if any person objected to go before these 'O a authorities, if any one said that the Commissioner appen te ., might be a competitor in trade, before whom a disclosure of hr . ; income might be . accompanied with prejudice to h is affairs, or with vexation to his feelings, he propos i _ e° to give those parties the option of sending in their return of come to a sworn officer of the Government, an Inspector of the Survey ; if they wished to appeal from the local authorities , he . proposed to rise parties the power of making it to that office e lie found the surcharges had been rarely made. He ', be attempted to prevent fraud and evasion, becau s e to permit tai existence of fraud would be unjust to the honest man. He k ey endeavoured to reconcile the execution of justice to all ear ti ,„ and the means of preventing evasion and fraud, with a rentee'.. for those special evils which were likely to arise from the !°,,, quisitorial nature of the impost.—(Hear.) On 1 01°11 7 at the Bill, he trusted that some portion e a I..ast of the objections that had been uaged against would be found to have been alevisted. He believed, nottel!' e standing the predict ions of that Noble Lord as to the disgust 0, 1 5: this tax must create, and as to the unpopularity which must tw' mately be the lot of those e ho proposed it, he believed that he se e indications throughout the country generally, of the existel of a strong feeling of the necessity of ma'ntaining rib i i c , l credit, and of adopting vigorous measures in order to ge t r d f the financial difficulties He :pole of what he had observe as to the feeling of the property of the country, : n e e of that portion of the property which was ember t: in trade and manufactures; and he • felt assured the there was a strong prevailing opinion on ',l . whole that if it was necessary to raise 4,00 0 ,ur e to sustain the public credit it was inure consistent with jus t ,'W e • and sound policy to impose the burden on the property of community than by indirect taxation, to restrict the ro u e fort of the great mass of the people.—(Loud cheeri e g b t ! He wou'd not then go further into the discussion of the s it k i e ct. I'e knew not if the Noble Lord would feel it he r o r e duty to take the sense of the House again be i ge the Bill went into Committee—he meant on da y second reading, but he would fix as early * impcssible fcr the second reading, and it it should be the °P;e nion of the House, thdt, on account of the peculiar cirVilio stances of the case, considering the season of the year, and te e immense importance to the trade and manufactures cattle that the opinion of Parliament should be asked as s peeih € l ) possible iespecting our future commercial regulations, if • that account it should be the opinion of the 'I ar y that it would be advisable to woke some temr r ' - relaxation of those rules of the House—( 0 ) „ c o tha t, which confined their discussions on these subjects to days in the week.
