To accomplish this important result, there are two plans for assurance—by the first ( Table I) the rates of premium are re duced to the lowest scale compatible with the safety and sta bility of the Society, thereby in effect giving to the assured an immediate and certain bonus.

ANNUAL PREMIUM FOR THE WITH TARTICIF. 2) is to meet the views and in.

To professional men and others whose incomes are progressive, and in loan transactions where the debt is gradually reduced, this principle of charging one-half the premium for the first seven years will be found to be particularly advantageous to the Assured. Assurances may be effected every day with the least possible trouble to the party.

A NEW DISCOVERY in TEETH—Mr 11 HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet. street, has in introduced AN ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARFIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or li gatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will NEVER CHANGE COLOUR OR DECAY, and will ba found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Air. Howard's improvement may be -within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street.

FOSTER has instructions to submit for SALE,in Lots, as prepared for Auction, 27,0001. worth of LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, being the Stock adver tised for Auction on the Premises, CORNER of FLEET STREET and FARRINGDON-STREET, trading under the firm of HEBBLEWHJTE and CO., notice having been given that an auction is not permitted by the lease. Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the original cost, the object being to clear the whole off the premises, and any portion remaining must of necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies are soli cited to ma'.-.e allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. The linens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:- 3. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. Gd. to 2s. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About 850 of his curiously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for ... 1,000 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which are some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheetings and table-linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried en for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliity. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at lOs. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in convenient a further reduction will be mad., in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently - the reduction must be immense. Some superb daa)..sk cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings. Mr. Foster wants an offer for the following lots from the trade :—Ribands, as per book, 1,8301.; lace, as per book, 640/. ; gloves, as per book, 1431.

Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies may depend that every article will fully answer the description given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. The prin cipal part of the stock having been kept in their wholesale ware houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle w.ll exist in the way of price ; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when it ex ceeds 10/.

ELECTION COMMITTEES. IPSWICH. The Committee are now engaged in considering the final question as regards the safety of Mr. Wason's seat. The peti tioners allege that Mr. Smith, the landlord of the Suffolk Hotel, having agreed to give a Mr. John Talbot 251. for his vote, told Mr. Wason of the fact, on which Mr. Wason, who was then in his carriage, the other two being also presented, got out and shook hands with Mr. Talbot, and thanked hiin earnestly for his support. This, if proved would, as the Counsel for the petitioners justly stated, settle the whole ques tion, by at once unseating Air. Wason, on the grounds of being a direct party. Mr. HILL was endeavouring to upset this allegation, when our reporter left. BLACKBURNE. The Committee have struck off a few votes on each side, So that the hostile parties yet continue in the same relative situa tions.

Mr. C. LAWRENCE was in the Chair ; and, after the notes calling the meeting had been read, the Treasurer of the Com mittee read the Report of the Directors, which recommended the adoption of the following resolution, after stating that the cost of the proposed line will no t excee d 225,0001., and alluding to the difficulties they had had to encounter in their endeavour to carry into effect a line to ex:end to Store-street. in Manchester:—" That the Directors be hereby empowered to proceed with the negotiations and arrangements now pending with other Companies and parties interested, and to take the necessary steps, by application to Parliament, in the present session for an extension of time for the purchase of land, should such a course be deemed expedient ; and to enter into such contracts, and do all such other matters and things as may be necessary or expedient for carrying into full effect and operation the formation and completion of the proposed Hunt's-bank junction line, in conformity with the Report now received and approved by the meeting." The CHAIRMAN then said, the Directors were fully aware of the great importance of the question before the meeting, and it was, therefore, with regret that they did not on the pre sent occasion appear before the Proprietors as a united body. The Report which had been read, although nominally the re port of the whole Board, was only that of a majority, and that not a large one ; and it was duo to those gentlemen form ing the minority to state that fact. He felt it necessary to in form the meeting, as the Board were now of a different opinion to what they were at the last meeting, that the reason of that change was expediency. They had no chance of succeeding in obtaining an Act for carrying out the most desirable plan with such influential and powerful interests as the Manchester and Leeds Company against them, and it was therefore advisable to carry out that now proposed, for if they did no: he felt convinced that it would place the Manchester and Liverpool Company in a position of great danger, and jeopardize the property of the concern altogether. Air. Moss, one of the Directors of the Company, proposed the resolution quoted above. Mr. R. BENSON moved an amendment to the effect that a junction of the railways on the south side of the Manchester, via Store-street, would be more advantageous to the public, arid would conduce snore to the interests of the Liver pcol and Manchester Company. After giving several reasons for this proposition, it went on to state " that this Com pany have, consistently with their own i nterests, a l wa y s been anxious to consult the convenience of th e pu bli c , an d therefore, if the Leeds Company should, after having refused the proposion to leave the whole question at issue to an unexceptionable reference, and in consequence of the deter mination of the Company not to make the junction through Salford, conclude themselves to execute that line, that this Company i facility t y will engage a them every accommodation a junction with their a Mr. D. Honcsow spoke against the original resolutions: railway." w a their p o to r w afford fo great length. Mr. H. EARLE seconded the original motion, and supported it at considerable length. The adoption of the line would at once effect a communication between the seaport of Liverpool and the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire.—(Cheers.) Mr. SAUNDERS and Mr. CROPPER also supported the origi nal motion. . _ Alr. ALSTON moved, that the question be deferred for one month, and this amendment was seconded by the Rev. Mr FORMBY. A long discussion ensued on this, in the course of which it was stated, that out of five lines to Manchester it was already determined to carry four of them to Hunt's-bank, and thus a complete communication would be formed between the east and west coasts, the formation of such a union of Railways being considered most important for the interests of trade generally. The CHAIRMAN at length put Mr. Alston's amendment to the meeting, which was lost, after which the amendment pro posed by Air. Benton was withdrawn. The eriginal resolution was then carried by a considerable majority, and the meeting separated. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPESRANCE. — Capt.

Captain Stenfors was a man of mild and gentlemanly manners ; but, since the loss of his vessel (fol lowed as it was, by the loss of a beioved brother, master of an other large ship, from the same port, lately towed, bottom up, into Galway), he has suffered much from nerv ous exc i temen t, head. ache, and want of sleep, which had doubtless upset his mind.— Scotch Paper.

CORN-LAW AND THE TARIFF. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, April 22. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was this day given by Commission to the following Bills : —The Exchequer Bills Frauds Bill ; the Consolidated Fund Bill ; the Mutiny Bill ; the Marine Mutiny Bill ; the Indemnity Bill ; the Midland Counties Railway Bill ; the South Eastern Railway Bill ; the Brandling Junction Railway Bill ; the Woodside Ferry Road Bill ; the Bradford Water- Works Bill ; the Staleybridge Gas Bill ; the Wind sor Bridge Bill ; the Duke of Bedford's Estate Bill ; the Bristol Boundary Bill; the Manchester Royal Infir mary Bill; the Stirling and Dumbarton Road . Bill; the Cheyne Inclosure Bill; the Stapleton Inclosure Bill; the Cottenham Inclosure Bill; Bunsen's Naturalization Bill; Leiber's Naturalization Bill. The Lords Commissioners were—The Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'Clock. Several petitions were presented against the Severn Navigation Bill. Lord IVHARNCLIFFE presented petitions in favour of the new tariff. Lord HATHERTON presented a petition from the Worcester Chamber of Commerce in favour of the Se. vern Navigation SPIRIT DUTY (IRELAND) BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the third read ing of the Spirit Duty (Ireland) Bill. The Bishop of DERRY objected to the Bill, because he thought the placing of a duty on spirits, would have the effect of reviving the system of illicit distillation. Lord MUNTEAGLE said he did not believe that there was any article which could be more legitimately taxed than spirits, and a wise Government should go as far as they could without encouraging smuggling. He thought that this measure would be attended with a loss to the revenue. It was a most extraordinary fact that, in the course of 20 years, there had been six different calculations of duty, and in every one of them it was stated that, where the amount of duty had been aug mented the quantity of spirits which had paid duty had been reduced ; and when the duty had been diminished, the quantity increased. The total amount of duty which would have to be paid on spirits in Ireland amounted to no less than 150 per. cent. on the value of the article, and that at a time when the Govern ment was claiming the praise of the public by intro ducing a new tariff with a diminution of duties. In Derry and the North of Ireland steps were already in progress for the purpose of profiting by this very law. In Mayo, it was stated that this proposed ad dition of Is. had given quite an impulse to illicit distilla tion. He (Lord M.) did not like to turn prophet, but judging from past experience, he would say that it was quite certain that the expectations of Government would be disappointed with respect to the produce of this tax amounting to 250,0001. There were two points in the Bill which he considered most unjust in themselves. The Commissioners of Inquiry in the year 1823, and again in the year 1834, recommended the en couragement of the distillation in Ireland of pure malt liquor ; and the Government allowed a drawback (,f Bd. in the gallon in theduty on such spirit-. That diminution of duty it was now proposed to with draw ; and he believed the result of the change would be most injurious to the Irish distiller. Again, he com plained that while the duty at present attached from and after the date of the passing of the Resolutions of the House of Commons, it was now proposed for the first time that the duty should attach on and after the date of the Resolutions. The measure might thus be said to have, contrary to all former precedent, a retrospective effect. But he objected more especially to the measure on the ground of its demoralising effects, and from a conviction that the expectations of an increase of revenue would not be fulfilled. He should certainly, therefore, say " not content" to the resolution. The Earl of RIPON said that he should regret as much ns any one to see an increase or a revival of illicit distillation in Ireland ; but he had reason to be lieve that his Noble Friend's apprehension upon that subject would not be realised. The officers at the head of the revenue in Ireland had com municated to the Government their belief that after the proposed alteration they should be enabled effec- Wally to enforce the law. His Noble Friend complained that the Scotch distiller i:xporting spirits to the United States received a drawback of Bd. a gallon, while the Irish distiller would receive more ; this was certainly a hardship, and the Government would take measures to put the distillers of both countries on a level. He saw no other objection, and therefore he hoped their Lord ships would pass the Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW was astonished that the Government having had, in the persons of the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Pre sident of the Board of Control, such extensive official experience of Ireland, should now be disposed to risk the morality and happiness of the people of that country, for the sake of so paltry an advantage to the revenue. He held in his hand a Bill which, he believed, stood for a second reading this day, called the Excise Duties Compounds Bill, in which the error was corrected, and Ireland and Scot land were placed upon a par. But if the present Bill were passed, the greatest confusion would ensue. There was a drawback of Bd., or 20 per cent., in favour of Scotland over Ireland, with regard to spirits made of the pure malt, and he was happy to say that spirits of an inferior description were not now much used in Ireland, owing to the almost miraculous change effected by that extraordinary man whom he could never pass by without praising. There were at present three distillers engaged in making spirits of pure malt, of which a great deal was sold in Scotland, in the Colonies, anctin Ame- • rica ; and they would be driven out of the markets if the pre sent Bill were passed. He hoped, therefore, that the Bill • would be allowed to rest on the table, but if it was pressed to a third reading, he should vote against it. The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE agreed with the Noble Earl who had just sat down, that nothing could be more unjust than to give Scotland a monopoly. He hoped that the Bill would be allowed to rest on the table, because it might then not be pressed at all. He did not think it would be right, for the sake of a paltry revenue, to do anything likely to counter act what he might almost call the miraculous change that had taken place in Ireland. There was no evil that had not been immensely aggravated by intoxication, and those evils were in creased by illicit distillation. He could only say, that this was in nowise a party measure—it was discussed in a manner free from party, and for himself, he would say that he should make the same prayer, if he had the confidence of her Majesty's nisters, as much as the Noble Lord on the other side of the House had. Earl FORTESCUE said, that knowing as he did, from his own experience in Ireland, the benefit that had arisen from what had been justly termed an almost miraculous change in favour of temperance, and the incalculable benefits that were every day increasing from it, he could not help adding his en treaty to their Lordships, that they would not be precipitate in passing this Bill, and thereby run the risk of bringing back the evil of intoxication, which had beset Ireland. lithe Bill was persisted in, he should vote against it. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that when discussing this question the other evening, he submitted to their Lordships that the Government had every reason to believe, from com munications which they had held with the Commissioners of Excise, and the officers at the head of the police force in reland, that the means used to prevent illicit distillation would be effectual. He also stated that he had no doubt the Irish Government would adopt other and effectual measures to prevent illicit distillation ; and he knew that the attention of the Irish Government had been drawn to the subject. With respect to the other point al luded to by his Noble Friend behind him, he would say that it certainly was intended to equalise the duties in Scotland and Ireland.—( Hear.) That was the original intention, and he was not aware why the regulation for carrying that into effect had not been introduced into the Bill. His Noble Friend be hind him said that there was another Bill, which would afford an opportunity for attaining this object. It certainly was the intention of his Right Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, to introduce measures to attain this object, and he (the Duke of Wellington) did think that if it could be attained by the Bill under discussion in another place. it would be neces sary, and he should be very sorry to desire their Lordships to hurry this Bill through that day without giving them time to consider whether measures for equalising the duties in Ireland and Scotland were introduced in the Bill under discussion in another place ; under these circumstances, therefore, he should withdraw this measure till Monday next. Lord MONTAGUE begged to thank the Noble Duke for the course he had pursued. IRISH MAGISTRACY. The Marquis of NORMANBY rose, in pursuance of notice, which he had given yesterday, to put a question to the Govern ment on a subject of the utmost importance, as connected with the confidence which ought to prevail in a pure administration of justice. It was to this effect, whether the reports which he had seen of the evidence of Mr. Bidder, in the late trial in King's County were correct? Whether the Government had held any communication with that gentleman, and whether he was still a Magistrates? He had received a communication in forming him that the Noble Earl, the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, had not yet had the matter brought under his consider ation. In order, therefore, to enable the Government to make inquiries on the subject, he should postpone putting his ques tion until a future day. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Wolverhampton against the Severn Navigation Bill. The Noble Duke expressed his strong disapprobation of the measure. The Duke of BEAUFORT presented petitions to the same effect from a place in Monmouthshire, and from the Chamber of Commerce in the city of Bristol. THE POOR-LAW. The Earl of WILTON presented a petition, from Man chester against the employment of medical officers by contt act for attending the workhouse poor, and stated he agreed with the petitioners. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire, for a repeal of the New Poer•law, and the substi tution of the old law. TIIE MARCHAIONT PEERAGE. Lord COTTENHAM presented a petition from Wm. Bell, writer to the Signet, complaining that he was liable to im pr sonment, by the order of the Court of Session of Scotland, f r not returning papers which had been intrusted to him, and which he had given into the custody of the House, by order their Lordships, with whom they now were. He therefore prayed their Lordships to interfere for his protection. The Noble Lord said he would make a motion on this subject in the course of the next week. Lord BROUCHAIII said he hoped the Court of Session would stay execution till the matter was Properly adjusted. After a few words from Lord COTTENHAAL the petition was laid oil the table. On the motion that the Corn Importation Bill be read a third time, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he did not wish to give any obstruction to the Bill now before the House, after the opinion which their Lordships had already pronounced, though he pei haps might be of opinion that a longer time might be allowed for the consideration of so important a measure.— ( Hear, hear.) But he was desirous of taking that opportunity of putting a question to the Noble Earl opposite, the President of the Board of Trade. A measure on the subject of the tariff was announced and printed, which was intimately connected with the Corn Bill, and which must be considered in reference to the present Bill, as forming a portion of the same general plan by which it was intended to give protection to agricultural produce. Upon looking to that Bill he found that various sorts of arrivals might be introduced, subject to certain limited duty, and on looking to the amount of duty as compared with the amount levied on arable produce, he found a very great diffe rence. With regard to the one a duty of 16s. was levied when the price of wheat was 563., while to the other there was only a protection of 9 per cent. granted; and the question he wished to ask related to the difference of protection given to both kinds of produce. He wished to know whether it was the opinion of his Noble Friend opposite, and those who concurred in in.• troducing this measure, that any difference should be made with respect to the subject he had alluded to. He thought that one species of land should not have more protection than the other. He wished to know, also, whether it was the ob ject of the Government to leave capital where it found it, and to give the same protection, whether that capital was invested in pasture or arable land ? The Earl of RIPON said that his Noble Friend must be aware that there was no similarity whatever with respect to the law relative to cattle and the growth of corn. With re spect to corn, it had always been, except from 1815 to 1820, regulated by a duty fluctuating more or less, but inversly as to the price. The two subjects to which his Noble Friend had referred were regulated in a perfectly different manner. It would be inconvenient and almost impossible to regulate them alike. The principle on which fluctuating duty was imposed on corn was, that the effect of the seasons on the produce was so great and varying at different times.—( Hear, hear.) Now though it was perfectly true that the seasons might affect the value of cattle, and might render it less easy to bring them into the same full state at one year than another, yet the price of cattle were viewed in the same manner as the price of corn, and therefore the idea of putting a duty on cattle applicable to the duty on corn would be altogether ri diculous. _ . . _ The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he apprehended that . his Noble Friend had misapprehended the qu es ti on w hi c h h e had put ; the question he had put was on what ground a dif ferent amount of protection was to be afforded on the whole to one class of agricultural produce in contra-distinction to another. His Noble Friend said that they had always been put upon different footings, but what was that diff erence ? It was this—that cattle and meat received a greater protection than the arable produce of the country ; and now, without any reason being assigned, it was to be made less. He wished to ask the Government with what view it was that that had been done. He wished to he understood as giving no opinion adverse to the measure ; but he considered an investigation into the tariff, with a view to its improvement, was a work which did him honour.—( Hear, hear.) He wished to know on what ground, on what principle it was that this alteration was proposed to be made. the Earl of RIPON said, that his Noble Friend had com plained that the duty upon corn had been regulated with a view to ensure an average price of 565., which amounted to a pro tection of about 17 per cent., while the duty upon cattle would not ensure a protection of more than 9 per cent. But his Noole Friend entirely forgot that the duty upon corn was not to be made fixed, and that at certain prices it almost completely du indled away. He thought, therefore, it would be quite pre pesterous t. apply the same amount of protection to cattle at a fixed duty, as to corn at a fluctuating duty. He would not then enter into the precise grounds on which the duty upon cattle had been selected. The question was one which would require a considerable discussion, and he should only say, he should, on a future opportunity, be enabled to show that the pro posed duty upon cattle was the amount which it would be advisable to fix on. He believed that if the duty proposed by his Noble Friend were levied upon cattle, such a step would defeat the intentions of the Government, and would prevent the importation of foreign cattle altogether. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that in instituting a comparison between the proposed protection upon wheat and upon cattle, he had taken the average price of wheat, and he was aware that the pike might be occasionally either higher or lower. The subject, however, would be one fur further consideration, and he should certainly be anxious to hear the explanations of the Government on the matter. 'I he Earl of MALMESBURY said it would be impossible for him to overstate the fears and alarms this Bill had spread among the agricultural interest. He would not agree with those who said that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had deceived those classes, but certainly he had disappointed them. What good was it to say that the Right lion. Baronet could not have disappointed them, because he had not abandoned the principle of the sliding scale? Why, according to those reasons, the farmers and the landowners would have no right to complain if the Right Hon. Baronet introduced a sliding scale beginning at 7s. and eliding at 7d. But no farmer would hesitate in choosing between such a scale and a fixed duty of Bs. What the farmers wanted was protection, and if they had this it mattered not whether they were protected by a sliding scale or a fixed duty.—(Hear, hear.) However, it was now too lat e t o com pl a i n . The landed interest had not been deceived, he repeated, but he did say, and he had reason to know it too well, their expectations from the Government had been bitterly disappointed.—( Hear, hear.) However, their duty now was to submit, and he hoped each Noble Lord would endeavour to reconcile those whom he had influence over to the Bill.—( Hear, hear. ) The Bill was then read a third time and passed. MERCHANTS' ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of RIPON, in moving the third reading of the Bill, said, that he believed it would be hardly necessary for him to say a word with respect to the Bill. Its intention was to re medy some of the inconveniences that at present existed be tween principal and agent, with reference to the consigning of goods. The law as it at present stood permitted an agent to sell the goods intrusted to him, but he was not allowed to pledge them as against the principal beyond the line he held upon them. In addition to that he might advance money on security of eertain documents, such as the bills of lading. Sometimes great inconvenience was felt in this respect, and as the advance of money on goods shipped was becom ing so interwoven with the commercial intercourse of the country, it was felt necessary to give facilities to this mode of raising money, unless facilities in that respect were given, commerce would be cramped. His Noble Friend opposite introduced a Bill of a similar character last session, which he was unable to proceed with, but his (Lord Ripon's) attention being drawn to the subject, the present Bill, which was very nearly the same, was introduced, and he took that op portunity, of giving his Noble Friend all the credit of the Bill. The Earl of CLARENDON said, he could confirm all that had been said by the Noble Earl with regard to the importance of the measure, because nearly all the commerce of the country was new conducted by making advances on goods on their way to market, which was productive of great injustice and embar rassment to trade. Ile had presented several petitions from various persons, representing that the present state of the law was very injurious. Ile had no hesitation in saying, that nine-tenths of the goods sold in this country had advances made on them, and he could assure the House, that the Bill would confer a great boon on the whole community. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his concurrence on the merits of the Bill. Great litigation had arisen from the present state of the law ; the Act which had been passed had been a mere snare. He rejoiced that this Bill, winch had been prepared by the former Government, had been adopted by the present. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. THE ECCLESIASTICAL RESIDENCES BILL. This Bill was reported, with amendments, and ordered to be read a second time, on Monday. THE ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS LEASING BILL. This Bill was also reported, with amendments, and ordered to be read a second time, on Monday. On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the Queen's Bench Prison Bill was read a second time. The Earl of REDESDALE presented a petition from Wor cester, in favour of the Severn Navigation Bill. Several Bills were forwarded a stage. Their Lordships then adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. April 22. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. The Hon. W. S. LASCELLES took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Wakefield, in the room of Mr. lloldsworth unseated. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the table, and summoned the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills. The SPEAKER, acompanied by a great number of Members, then proceeded to the House of Lords, and on his return he announced the Bills that had received the Royal assent (for which see our Lords Report). PIEL PIER BILL. Mr. WILSON PATTEN proposed to withdraw the Piel Pier and Harbour Bill, and stated his intention to move for leave to bring in another Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET said if his Hon. Friend perse vered in withdrawing the present Bill, and moved for leave :o bring in another, he trusted the House would not give him permission to do so. Mr. W. PATTEN said, under tie circumstances, he would withdraw the Bill, leaving the parties to pursue the usual course of presenting a petition for an other Bill. Mr. P. HOWARD presented a petition from the tan ners of Carlisle, complaining of the proposed alteration in the duty on foreign manufactured leather. Sir R. BATESON presented a petition praying for a system of education in Ireland. LIVERPOOL. PAVING AND SEWERAGE BILL. The Liverpool Paving and Sewerage Bill was read a third time and passed.

DOUGLAS presented petitions from the inha bitants of St. John's, New Brunswick, and from the Chamber of Commerce of St. Andrew's, in the same province, against any alteration of the timber duties. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. WALLACE gave notice that on the reading of the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Income-tax Bill, he should move a resolution to the effect that it is more ex pedient to have recourse to the issue of Exchequer bills, than to an Income-tax. The Honourable Member also gave notice that he • should move for cer tain returns relating to the Courts of Session. The next matter concerning which he had to give a notice was a matter in which the Ilouse itself took an interest There had been returns laid on the table two days ago, which he intended to move should be printed, but which returns, the printing Committee had refused to print. They ordered what he (Mr. Wallace) considered to be a component part of that return to be printed, and he believed it would be wasting the money of the House to print one without the other. Dr. BOWLING gave notice that when the House went into Committee on the tariff, he would move that the duty on foreign spirits be reduced to 15s. per gallon; the duty on wine to 2s. 6d. per gallon ; and that on fo reign manufactures to an ad valorenz duty of 20 per cent. Mr. EWART gave notice that in Committee on the Income-tax he would move that the persons included in schedule 1), namely, those who derived their incomes from trades and prefessions, should have so much of their incomes exempt from the tax as should be applied to the purpose of ensuring their lives. INCOME TAX. Sir J. GIL presented a petition, signed by :3,100 of the working classes of Yarmouth, principally c teiga e 0 . 11 in the cotton-manufacture, in favour of the income and property tax ; also another petition, signed by a considerable number of persons with incomes above 1001 a year, to the same effect. On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Income-tax Bill being read, Mr. CHARLES BULLER said he rose for the pur• pose of moving that the Bill be read a second time that day six morells. Ile believed he owed the House an apology fur again interrupting them.—(Hear, hear.) Ile should not have done so were it not that the Bill had arrived at a stage at which it was not necessary to trench on the topics that had previously engaged the attention of the !louse. They had formerly discussed the necessity of any taxation at all ; they had discussed the general principles of the tax, and they had now to discuss its principles -as explained in the details of the Bill now before the House. They had got the papers, and he must confess, that whatevea had been his former objections to the Income-tax —what ever forebodings he might have had as to its operation, all these objections, and all these forebodings, were greatly enhanced by a perusal of the Bill before them. It had been said that the tax was inquisitorial, that it was unjust, that it was arbitrary ; and every detail of the Bill only placed, in a strung, r light, how rightly and justly those terms had been applied to it.—(Bear, hear.) Hu did nut intend, un the present occasion, having only received the Bill of 10 clauses on the pre vious day, to enter into such a thorough examination' as would give anything like a just appreciation of it. He was merely going to explain to the House the grounds of Ins most prominent objections to it. IViten he read this Bill, and saw the provision; by which the tax was to be carried into effect, he did not wonder at the hostility which it excited in former times. lie did not wonder at the eagerness with- which its repeal was demanded, and die joy with which it was hailed; he only wondered that in a free country a tax which so trenched on the comforts and rights of 13ritisli subjects could ever have been tole rated, and he thought that nothing but the peril of the late war and nothing but the strong feeling which it excited, could have induced Englishmen to tolerate a law so contrary to all their habits and to all the principles of the Constitution.—(blear, hear.) He did nut complain of the Bill as introducing any unne cessary vexation ; it was but the necessary vexation which must be inflicted upon the subject in order to carry out a tax upon the country; but he did say that the provisions of this Bill gave an amount of arbritrary power which, as he believed, had never been given by any other legislature since the revolution. Why, the mere inquisition which was requisite for this tax was bad in itsclf.—(licar, hear.) It was a very bad or very op pressive thing, that the commercial trading and manu facturing people of England should be obliged to come before an officer of the Government and detail to him the exact state of their trade anti the position of their affairs. He (Mr. C.Buller) could not agree with the lion. Member fur Bath, that that was an objection which would only be felt by an over-timid, or, rather, a dishonest mind. lie would recommend the lion. Gentleman to pay some ree spect to the feelings which had been evinced by the people of England thr o u g h a lon g p e ri o d of th e i r history, that people who had always showe themselves ready to bear a fair share of the public burdens. The mere fact that the people of England had always felt this objection ought c.f itself to be sufficient ; they ought to respect a feeling so general, they oug h t to believe that th e disli k e which had alway s been felt to an Income-tax was not totally without foundation. The measures for enforcing the inquisition served to make it doubly oppressive. The means by which the In come-tax was to be enforced were totally alien from the feelings of the English people. Ile would not go into the whole of the plan—it was too complicated to admit of his doing so ; but he would here mention that there was such a cloud of Commissioners as would aston ish any Weak mind.—(Great laughter.) There were first the Tax and Stamp Commissioners at the heed of this hierarchy ; then the Commis sioners for general purposes ; then the Commissioners for special purposes ; then there were additional Commissioners, and these not being sufficient for the inquisition, there were Assistant-Commissioners. One of the benefits from this Commission would be that what the Chief Commisioner did not eat, the Assistant- Commissioners would lap up.—(Laughter.) He did not mean to attempt to throw the Commission into ridicule e they seemed to him to have all the respectability of a very fearful instr umen t o f ver y grinding trlnny. What was the power invested in these Commi ssioners ? They not merely gave them a power of investig-etion—they were not merely tax-gatherers, but they gave them a judicial power. He found in this Bill no less than seven clauses giving a power to the Coremissioners of levying large fines. They had the • power of levying fines to the amount of 201.. or 25/. Then added to this power was a special power given them, that in case of a false return they should inflict a further penalty of treble the amount of the tax to be collected. Let them con sider what a power this was. He vvould give them an instance of it. There was clause 55. This clause empowered the Commissioner to go round and. call on the people to deliver in a , correct statement of their income ; and all incomes above 1501 were to be taxed, and to be recovered in any of her Majesty's Courts. Any person neglecting to make such a return, would be liable to forfeit a sum not exceeding 201., and treble the amount of the duty to be charged by virtue of this Act. Now, sup pose a gentleman had 1,0001, if he neglected to make a direct return, he was liable to treble 301 besides the fine. Now he asked whether this tax could be compared to any other? Why, they gave a power to the Commissioners under circumstances dis tinguished from every other tax, namely, to conduct the proceedings in secret. In all other matters if a person was charged with fraud, he had 'ter •submit to the verdict of a Jury in open. Court, in- under the present Bill everything was conducted in secret. This was a monstrous violation of the liberty of the subject. Every tax to be collected by such means must be a bad tax. He did not mean to object to the details of the Bill; he did not, when the Bill went into Committee, intend to .object to the details of the bill, for if they were to. have an Income-tax, they must have a systems of inquisition. He called on the House, as he had done before, to reject this tax if it was to be enforced by such a system -; enforced by paid Commissioners of the Crown, whose proceed ings were to be conducted in secret. He called on them to reject this tax, because nothing but an imperious necessity could ,itistq a recourse to such a sy s t em ; v i o l at i ng, as i t did, all the principles of freedom, and all the principles of constitu tional liberty. When they voted for the second read ing of such a tax, they were voting for its inquisito rial process. lie said that before they passed the second reading of such a Bill, t h e y should consider the necessity existing for such a tax. (Here the Hon. Gentleman turned his back to the Reporters Gallery and became very indistinct.) He was not going into the various topics with respect to this question, which had been hitherto discussed. lie had heard a great deal about the penny pe.stage—tt great deal about Affghanistan—a great deal about China, and divers other matters from the Government. Now, none of these subjects did he propose to cutter into. His simple argument would be against the necessity of the tax. It was an unfair tax in itself, it was unfair to the nation. Individuals were to be charged three per cent. upon their incomes to. raise only 4,000,000/. It was not of a large amount, but for a a comparatively small amount of revenue. He confessed that he was surprised to find that there were supporters of this tax on that (the Opposition) side of the House ; but he did not think the Right Hon. Baronet could be very well satisfied with his supporters on his own side of the House. Every Gentleman on that side the of r o t u he selblibitected t o some o f t h e d eta il s o f the Bill.

Baronet had said, on one occasion, thet a man worth 300/. a-year, who hullo pay 81. a year• to the Income-tax, would save 101, or 12 a year by the• operation of the tariff. Now what could he save it ire except in the price of meat or provisions ? Then, the Right Hon. Bart. and the Noble Lord the Member for Cornwall, turn round to their agricultural supporters and say, " Oh, there will not be any cheap provision ar, qs. tNE' S ftN• 4 for Elt ,te pas rot' Ised lel
