For the convenience *f parties wishing t* assure for a ape cifie sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. I FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—When Sir Robert Peel prescribed the bitter pill of the income tax, he offered the tariff as a lump of sugar to be taken with or immediately after it ; and it is therefore desirable to know—first, whether we are to have the tariff in its promised shape ; and secondly, whether, when it is obtained, it will prove a corrective to the nausea occasioned by the measure with which it is accompanied. Th 3 question was pertinently put to Sir Robert Peel, whether " it had crossed his mind" to postpone the consideration of the tariff? And the Premier replied that it had not ; though he added, that as " many important interests would be seriously affected by the alterations proposed, it was considered but just to give the parties an opportunity to have the subject duly weighed before the measure was introduced, in order that the tariff might undergo such changes as circum stances seemed to demand: The Premier is at present the Tory oracle, and he keeps up the oracular charac ter extremely well, as far as ambiguity is concerned, for the celebrated Aio, to 2Eacide Romanos vincere posse, was no more calculated to puzzle the son of 2 - acus, as to whether the Romans should conquer him or he the Romans, than is the answer of Sir Robert well adapted to encourage the people who ask for cheap food, or to sustain the hopes of the monopolists. Allowing that the tariff would be a boon to the masses, it is yet very problematical, from the Premier's declaration on Monday night, whether the nation is to have the full benefit of it in the shape in which it was at first pro posed, or whether, in consideration to the " important interests that are seriously affected by it,' such changes are to be made as will protect the agricul tural, at the expense of the general interest. It is diffi cult to say whether the modifications he is willing to make will be in a right or a wrong direCtion, with regard to their effect on the public good ; his observa tions of Tuesday night may be designed either to cajole the landed interest into a belief that he intends to maintain much of the monopoly that the tariff would have partly broken down, or, in the event of his eventually succumbing to the party that still keeps the sword suspended over his head, he may in tend to refer the country hereafter to the declaration made last night as a proof of his consistency. STANDARD.—The House was for the greater part of the evening occupied in Committee upon Lord Mahon's " Copyright Bill." Upon the reading of the third clause as follows : "That the copyright in every book which shall, after the passing of this Act, be published in the lifetime of its author, shall endure for the natural life of such author, and for the further term of 25 years, commen.ing at the time of his death, and shall be the property of such author and his assigns : Provided always, That in no case shall the whole term be less than 28 years ; and that the copyright in every book which shall be published after the death of its author shall endur e for the term of 30 years from the first publication thereof; end shall be the property of the proprietor of the m anuscr i pt f rom which such book shall be first published and his assigns." Lord Mahon addressed the House at considerable length, and with great force. llis Lordship replied to most of the arguments which had been ad vanced against a similar measure when proposed by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, particularly to the pre tence that the suppression of valuable books might be the effect of allowing a longer enjoyment of copyright, showing that the danger supposed to be threatened to Richardson's works, for example, amounted to no more than this—that a pious clergyman, a descendant of the novelist, had declared that he had never read the works of his ancestor, or any other works of the same class. This was conclusive as to the particular objection ; but we think that Lord Mahon migti have gone a great deal further. If D. Inan's books are in any sense his property, ti...te public has no more right to inquire whet.ier he shall vo actor, or a f avour i te urite use it, or squander it, or lock i t up, than it has to control his mode of di spos i ng of any to forbid otherprol a )erly —no more r i g h t than it has fiddler or singer to retire from his profession ; such tyrannical prohibitions, by the way, were among the earliest subjects of complaint against the tyrant Roman Emperors. The case, is, however, really worse as regards books. Men may for the best rea sons wish to extinguish for ever the memory of books which, surviving them, may cause them, as it were, "to sin in their graves." Theodore Reza wrote licen tious verses in his youth : can th ere b e a doubt that that good man, as he afterwards became, would "in dying wish to blot" out these licentious verses ? But this he could not do, without having over them the right of an absolute proprietor. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Aprm. 7. Their Lordships re-assembled for the first time after the Easter recess to-day, at Five o'Clock.

He found that no less than six of them were Scotch Judges ; among whom were the late Lord President and the newly elected Lord Justice Clerk. There were also six Peers of Par liament, and several Members of that House ; and among the names, he found those of Sir R. Peel, Sir G. Clerk, Sir William Rae, the late Lord Advocate, and others. The papers were first distributed by the individuals who commenced the correspondence; those were the late Lord Corehouse, and the late Lord-Advocate Hope. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Wallace) hoped that it would not be alleged against him that he had endeavoured to bring out papers which ought to be con sidered as private correspondence. But, if such :at allegation should be made, he, standing there, a man who was unaccused of having ever done anything ungentlemanly, or unworthy of a Member of that House, would pledge himself to exclude anything from these documents which should be considered, upon a scrutiny, to relate to private characters or private affairs. Having premised this statement, he would now assure the House that the motion he was about to make was of a most important character, deeply involving the interests of his own country, and of the members of the legal profession in and out of that House; for every Hon. Member so connected must know that no more solemn question could be brought before the House than one for the reform of the Courts of Law in this country. That was his object, and he would en deavour to fulfil it, and as much in those documents would sustain his opinion, he was anxious that I they should be laid before the How. He main tained that the Judges of Scotland had very little to do, and that they did not do that little perfectly; in truth, as these papers would show, they might rather be called gentlemen at large. They interfered in questions that should not concern them, but they were much concerned in pointing out how patronage should be distributed, and in other matters which prevented them from doing pro perly the little public business they were charged with by the country. If the motion were resisted, he should read a few sentences from the pamphlet ; but he conceived that as a matter of right, what he required would be agreed to. Under these circumstances he would move, " That the correspondence respecting the resignation of the late Lord Corehouse, formerly a Judge in the Supreme Court of Scotland, and now retired on a pension for life—us the same was circulated by the said Lord Corehouse and the late Lord Advocate for Scotland, and was by them sent to many Members of both Houses of Parliament — be laid on the table of this House." Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. The motion having been put, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Hon. Member had stated that if the motion he made were opposed, he would not occupy the time of the House, and he had proved his intentions 13, the brevity of the observations with which he had prefaced his motion. The Hon. Gentleman had admitted that the correspondence was of the nature of a private correspondence, and he was right in so describing it. He recollected that on a late occasion when a motion was made respecting the allowance for the late Lord President of Scotland, the very cor respondence in question was wanted, and it could not be found, though he had himself made diligent search for it. He was anxious to get a copy of it, but he could not find a single paper in London on the sub ject. He should, therefore, oppose the motion of the lion. Member. Mr. WALLACE was not inclined to forget what he had before said as to his anxiety to save the time of the House. Although the Right Hon. Gentleman had said that he (Mr. Wallace) might use the papers in his pos session at a fitting opportunity, he gave the Right lion. Gentleman no thanks for his permission, for he should have done that of his own accord. He would select such parts of the correspondence as he thought fit, and put them in the hands of those who ought to possess them. He did not wonder at the Right Hon. Gentleman objecting to his motion nor should he wonder at certain Right Honourable Gentlemen on his (Mr. Wallace's) side of the House doing the same; for these papers showed that there had been a great deal of jobbing on both sides ; and he knew as an indepen dent Member that when such motions were brought for ward they were generally obnoxious to both sides of the ! House. He should therefore, on the 19th of April, make any use he pleased of this paper; and of all others of a , like description. At present he should withdraw his motion. THE TARIFF. Mr. WARD wished to know if the report which had been circulated with regard to one of the changes in the tariff were true. It had been reported that it was in tended to increase the duty on foreign salmon 100 percent. Sir R PEEL had not heard of any such report, and assured the Hon. Gentleman that the report was without foundation. THE CANTON RANSOM. Mr. BLEWITT wished to ask the Right Honourable Baronet if he had any objection to state to the House what had been the amount received on account of the Canton ransom, in sterling money. The present state ment in dollars was very confused. Sir R. PEEL said that as soon as the Sycee silver should be coined, he would let the Hon. Gentleman know its value in British currency. In answer to a question which was put by the Noble Lord last night, he (Sir R. Peel) had replied from recollection ; he would now give the Noble Lord more particular information on the sub ject. There was a sum of 323,1931. from miscellaneous revenue. He had told the Noble Lord that he was under an opinion that a great part of that had arisen from the ransom money. He would now, however, more particu larly account for that sum. There was for surplus fees, 20,7701. ; incidental, 50/ ; hereditary revenue, 373/ ; Sycee silver, 302,0001. There was an additional sum, for which credit was not given. Mr. BLEWITT wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet another question, as to what was to be done with the junks, &c., which had been taken as prizes in the Chinese Seas. He hoped no application of the money would take place, till he had an opportunity of speaking on the subject. Lord JOHN RUSSELL slid, perhaps the Hon. Gentleman was not aware that an Order in Council had been passed for the disposal of those prizes. Mr. BLEWITT then wished to know whether, in pur suance of that order, proper instructions had been given relative to the adjudication of the prizes. Sir R. PEEL said that no doubt proper instructions were sent when the Order in Council was made. INCOME TAX—PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE. then rose to move—" That the practice of this House, which precludes the presentation of petitions upon the subject of any tax or duty under its consideration, be discontinued." The Hon. Member said that up to the time when the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) made his financial state ment, few individuals in that House, but much fewer out of it, were aware that it had ever been the prac tice of the House to refuse to hear petitions upon the subject of a tax. It was surprising that the Members of the Reformed Parliament should at tempt to shelter themselves under an inconsistent and almost obsolete practice by refusing to hear petitions which were presented to it by those very individuals who had placed them in the position which they occupied. He was prepared to maintain and to insist upon the right of the people to address that House upon any subject which they might think proper. lie contended that the people had as indubitable a right to address the House by petition upon the subject of taxation, as upon any measure of general legislation relating to the right, the liberty, or the property of the subject.— (Hear.) He took his stand upon those broad grounds, ~and he was not prepared to compromise the principle in the slightest degree. Now it would be necessary to trace the origin of the practice in question, the source from which it sprung, how it had been enforced, and when and where it had been departed from. The House would observe that there was no standing order or rule whatever for the course which they were then pursuing in re jecting the petitions of the people ; and, be thought, when it was shown how the practice originated, neither the House nor the public could be otherwise than surprised at the slender grounds on which they presumed to reject the petitions of those who had placed them there to protect their property and their interests. It appeared from llatsell's precedents, which he trusted the House would consider no mean authority, that this practice originated very shortly after the revolution of 1688. The first time the right appeared to have been questioned was in 1689. On the 15th of April a petition was presented from the French Protestant ministers pray ing for relief. It was finally resolved that this petition should be withdrawn. In 1796 a resolution was passed in a Committee of Ways and Means for imposing a tax of ten per cent. ad valorem on articles of woollen manufacture. A cloud of petitions was pre sented against it, and although the resolution was car ried in the Committee of Ways and Means, • the Bill was dropped ; in fact, the Bill was never presented at all. It appeared, then, that in 1698, the House having felt the inconvenience of admitting petitions that had been presented in a preceding session, refused to receive those petitions on a tax then depending. In 1708 a tax was proposed upon coals and culm ; a petition was presented against it and was refused, by a majority of 113 against the presentation. It appears that the House subsequently departed from this rule, for on the 14th of February, a petition was presented from various merchants and traders against a duty on calicoes, and the petitioners asked to be heard against the tax by counsel. That was refused, but the petition itself was ordered to lie on the table till the second reading of the Bill. On the 21st of May, 1711, it was proposed to raise 1,500,0001 by a duty on vellum, parchment, and cards ; a petition against the duty wa s presented by me rc h ants tra di ng i n Genoa paper, by stationers and haberdashers. That . petition was' not only received, but was ordered to be referred for consideration to a Committee c 29 - of the whole House on the Bill. Now that practice of I receiving petitions went even f ar th er th an h e as k e d t o go, for the petition of 1711 was not only received, but was ordered to be referred to a Committee of the whole House. In 1732, th e question was again raised. The inhabitants of Rhod e I s l an d, i n t h at year, presented a petition against th e S ugar C o l on i es Bill; the same objection was tak en to t h e peti tion as in 1698 ; and a Mr. Winnington, who ap peared to be then a great authority on the Ministerial side of the House, said the practice of receiving such a petition had never been followed except upon extraordinary occasions, as it had been found in convenient from the time of the House being occupied in discussing frivolous petitions. This ob jection could not apply at present; in those days petitions on aßill could be discussed, and sometimes one pe tition would occupy a whole evening, consequently nothing could be easier than to defeat a tax by petitions of that description. No decision of this period could apply against him (Mr. Duncombe), since the role of the House now was, that a petition must be presented by merely stating its object, without any debate arising on it,. In the year 1733, a petition from the City of London was submitted to that House against the then pending Excise Bill. It was moved not only that the petition should be laid upon the table, but that Counsel should be heard at the Bar against the Bill. A long debate then arose. Mr. Pulteney, Sir William Wyndham, and others, spoke in favour of the petition being received ; while the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Robert Walpole, the Attorney-General, and the Solicitor-General spoke upen the other side. The arguments used upon that occasion, were the same as those used in the pre ceding Session—namely, that the time of the House would b e t oo muc h occup i e d w i t h a mu l t i tu d e of peti tions, and that public business would thus be incon veniently impeded. Th e ma tt er en d e d, h owever , by the . petition being allowed to be left on the table, while Counsel was refused to be heard at the bar, but only upon a narrow division, the numbers voting with the Government being 214, and the, numbers voting on the popular side being 197 ; so that there had been a majority o f on ly 17 In April 1733, more petitions came in from Nottingham, which were ordered to be laid upon the table ; and the Excise Bill was ultimately dropped. Now this custom of not receiving petitions has certainly ob tained ever since that period, with a few isolated ex ceptions in cases when the petitions bad slipped in with out the observation of the House. But the question had never afterwards been discussed until the month of May, 1815. On the Ist of May in that year a petition was presented against the then pending Pro perty -tax Bill. That petition was certainly rejected ; but it was rejected not only on the ground of its relating to a tax then pending, but also because it was supposed to be disrespectful and libellous in some of its allegations. • Sir W. Curtis presented that petition ; it was rejected by 10 7 votes to 29. But there had been no rule laid down upon the subject. and it had always been left to the discretion of the House to receive or to reject such petitions. From the .rear 1815 he would pass to what had occurred the other day. On the 22d of last month he found that there had been offered to the House a petition from the parish of St. Clement's, Eastcheap; and also a petition from Royston against the proposed duty upon income. The Speaker, upon that occasion, said that it appeared to him, from the • proceedings of the Committee of Ways and Means, which were published in the Votes • and Proceedings of the House, that a tax - upon income had been proposed as part of the Ways and Means for meeting the ex penditure of the year, and that according to the established rule of the House no petitieu, against a tax for the service of the year, under consideration, could be received by the House. That was the rule laid down by the Speaker, and he did not complain of the de cision, for he believed the practice alluded to had, with slight interruption, prevailed for a considerable time. He might raise a special plea in the present case, if he did not think it would be unworthy the importance and justice of the case. The Speaker had laid it down, thut - against taxes-for the service of the year petitions were inadmissible ; but the Right Hon. Baronet had told them that this was not a tax for the service of the year, but a tax for three years.—(Hear, hear.) He might use that as a plea, but he thought it would be a mere quibble, when he rested on the broad constitu tional principle that the people had a right to be heerd by petition in all eases. Let the House look to the manner in which this tax had been intreduced. The measure by which the people were to be taxed, to• the amount of four millions, was lint mentioned to the House on the 11th of March, and the. Friday following the House went into Committee of Ways and Means ; and from that hour the doors of that House were closed against the petitions of the people.—(Hear, hear.) No doubt it was convenient to a Minister, who was unpopular with the coun try, that such a. rule as the one in question should be enforced ; but it was not the less a gross in fringement of the rights of the people. He concluded by movit.g, " That the practice of this House, which precludes the presentation of petitions on the subject of any tax or duty ender its consideration, be dis continued." Mr. WALLACE seconded the motion without any observation. Sir GEORGE CLERK was not prepared to contest the argument of the Hon. Gentleman, that the doors of the House ought to be open to the petitions of the people. But the Hon. Gentleman himself had shown that front the earliest period, since the Revolution, the rule to which he (Mr. D.) objected had been maintained. Very soon after the Revolution, a greater number of petitions were presented than had ever before been known. It was found inconvenient to have soinany petitions against the Money Bills of the year, and after a few years the evil was found to be so growing, that the House in 1693 came to the resolution that no petition should be received against a Money Bill under the consideration of the House. After a great number of decisions by the House, it seemed to have been admitted by all parties in the House to have been a wise and salutary rule respecting the restrictions of the presentation of petitions. He thought the House also had been ex tremely jealous in preventing such restrictions on the presentation of petitions going beyond that line which was originally drawn in 1693. There had been apparent , deviations from that rule. Those deviations arose from doubts entertained by the House as to whether the Bills under discussion, and which had been petitioned against were, properly, Money Bills, or rather only Bills for the regulation of trade, by the provisions of which additional burdens might • be thrown upon the people, either by increasing the actual amount of duty to be levied on certain arti cles, or by imposing regulationg according to the ma chinery of the Act of an inquisitorial nature. He thought that if the Honourable Member would look to the discussion in 1733 he would see that upon that oc casion, when a Bill was introduced by Sir R. Walpole for regulating the duties on tobacco, the point considered was, whether it was a Money Bill, or one merely for the regulation of trade. The precedents previous to that time were ordered to be read during the discussion upon the Bill; thus it would be seen that, from the year 1693 downwards, that rule obtained. Now, upon what principle had the House adopted that rule. It was upon this. If the House of Commons found it necessary, in order to raise a supply in Com mittee of Ways and Means, to have recourse to the disagreeable alternative of imposing fresh taxes, there could be no doubt that the im position of fresh taxes would be felt as a burden and a grievance by every class of the com munity. Now, the House would not require to be informed, by petitions, that the people felt the impositions of those taxes to be a grievance. It was for the House to judge, whether, after having voted large supplies to the Crown, and seeing no other mode of raising those supplies but by the imposition of fresh taxes, they were to desist from the course of proceeding which they had adopted, merely because it was felt by some individuals to be a grievance? After the year 1733, the rule having been com pletely established, an attempt was made at devi ation from it ' • for, he believed, that in 1733, when an additional duty was sought to be laid on receipt stamps, the City of London presented a petition against the Bill introduced for that purpose, and the petition was received under those circumstances. It was the privilege of the City of London to present petions to that House by their Sheriffs who, for that purpose, came to the bar of the House. No Member stated the substance of those petitions, and the petition to which he now alluded, was merely laid upon the table, and read by the clerk, and consequently no question could arise from the precedent of a petition so presented. Mr. Fox had been present in the House on that oc casion, and no man in the then, or in the pre sent Mouse of Commons, could be more jealous of the rights of the people than Mr. Fox—had said, that although he had considered the sub ject of petitioning the House of Commons to be an invaluable right of Englishmen, yet if they permitted every man to petition against every new tax, it would be impossible for the House to go on with the business. Mr. Fox even went still further, and said that the more universally a tax should be petitioned against, the greater argument, in his mind, did that constitute in its favour, because it proved that the tax acted impartially—that it was an equal tax, pressing equally upon all classes. This practice could not be attended by any inconvenience, because if a tax were proposed, those who were affected by it had an ample opportunity of making their representa tives aware of their feelings on the subject. No evil could possibly arise from refusing to receive petitions upon this subject, as all constituencies had an opportunity of instructing their representatives. Was there anything he would ask in the tax, which his Right Honourable Friend had proposed. to call upon that House to depart from what had been their practice for the last 150 years. He did not com plain of the course which Honourable Members opposite had adopted before the recess for the purpose of delay ing the progress of the Resolutions. They had taken the opportunity of the recess to ascertain the sentiments of their constituents, and therefore whenever they should come to a division on the subject, every Member would be as well prepared to state the sentiments of his con stituents, as if they had had an opportunity of presenting petitions on the subject. He was not aware of any new arguments against this tax. He conceived that if they refused the right in that instance, where the interests of a particular clash. of trades were concerned, the greater reason they had to r/fuse it when the tax was universal in its application to all classes, and included all persons. It was for these reasons—because he heard no argument from the Honourable Member for Finsbury, showing that inconvenience had re sulted from the rule—because it had been adopted by the House of Commons for 150 years, and had been found by all parties a very expedient rule--be cause it had not been rashly adopted by them—because it was likely to secure the r i ghts an d privileges of the subject and of the country ; Each Number forme a complete Poem ; With the First is given a Portrait of Lord Byron, and the last will contain Titles and Freatispieces for binding the whole in Two neat and elegant Volumes.
