WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 1842. There was another debate in the House of Commons last night - on Mr. COWPER presenting a petition against the income tax, and the probability, or rather the cer tainty, of similar debates every evening, seems to have moved the Tories to put forward Lord FRANCIS EGERTON to make a little diversion, and corer the Premier's retreat • That Noble Lord accordingly suggested to Mr. COWPER to withdraw the petition, and allow him to bring for ward, at the earliest possible opportunity, a substantive motion which shall settle the whole question. As Mr. DexcomnE observed, the Noble Lord had spread out a feather bed for her MAJESTY'S Alinisters to fall on, and full on it they will without being smothered. Lord MAIION, who, like Lord FRANCIS EGERTON, voted wifh Mr. T. DUNCOMBE on Monday evening, - though both generally vote with Sir R. PEEL, wished for the adjournment of the debate till Friday, in order to allow Lord F. EGERTON to bring forward his motion on Thursday. The motion was discussed, and the debate accordingly adjourned to Friday, not then to be resumed if Lord F. EGERTON'S feather bid be found in the mean time sufficiently soft to break the fall of the Premier and his companions. We scarcely understand Lord F. EGERTON'S conduct. On Monday he distinguished himsAt, in the early part of the evening, by both speaking and voting fur Mr. T. DON COMBE, and in the latter part by uttering a violent, and, regarding the uncouth gesticulations of the Noble Lord, a furious tirade against Mr. DuNcomnE and his friends. At five o'clock he voted that the Premier, by enforcing an antiquated order; was stifling the prayers of the people, and at 12 o'clock he was most vehement against those who opposed the arbitrary conduct of Sir RARISERT PEEL. The Lord FRANCES EGERTON of after dinner con demned the Lord FRANCES EGERTON of five o'clock. Being of this kind of double character, having one tongue for the Radicals, and another for the Tories, the Noble Lord was a fit and proper person to step, between Mr. COWPER and success, and stave off a division which would • have left Sir R. PEEL iso_a minority. We hope the Noble &d-maker, otherw:se Lortrlitherside, may succeed or the Session will be waved in a fruit less effort on the part of the Tories to prevent the voice of the people being heard in Parliament against the in come tax. best intentions, no doubt, but with a great want of judg ment, followed Dr. Bowanic in praising Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff. As we said yesterday, it is to be consi dered as part of a system, of which the income tax is another pait, and it is impossible to approve of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff without giving approbation to the income tax. Ho stated expressly, on March 11th, that he meant to devote the sur plus revenue he expected to obtain, by his inquisitorial income tax, to relieve the metal trade arid the timber trade. What Mr. LABOUCHERE and Dr. Bownlsto praise, therefore, is Sir ROBERT PEEL'S determination to tax professional men and shopkeepers, to enrich those who use much timber. We regard the whole principle as erroneous; we treat such a dealing with the property of individuals by discriminating taxation as most dan gerous ; we say it is levelling and revolutionary ; de grading the people beneath the legislature as adespotism, without being just ; and we conclude, that the whole vicious scheme ought to be condemned and resisted. We will take the first case, as to cattle, of which Mr. LABOUCHER E said he approved, and stated, that had he remained in office, he meant to have proposed something of the same kind. But the Ministry of which he was a member properly repudiated, by the mouths of Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the principle of protection by discriminating duties, and only justified duties such as those of which he approves when pro posed by Sir It. PEEL, who maintains the principle of protection as a sort of compromise and a step towards free trade. To approve of Sir R. PEEL'S tariff as to cattle, which is based like his Corn-law on the prin ciple of protection, we must see it proved that his prc posed tax is in due and just proportion to the protecting duties on wheat, oats, and barley, so that the production of no one of these useful commodities shall re ceive more or less encouragement than another. At the same time we are quite aware that this cannot be proved—that it is utterly impossi ble for any mortal man, though his head contained the brains of twenty PEELS and twenty GLADSTONES, correctly to adjust any scale whatever of discriminating duties on all commodities. The attempt is an arrogant absurdity ; and therefore to approve of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S little bit of adjustment as, to cattle, adopted under the false system of protection, is to encourage him and his party in their dangerous errors and ruinous absurdities. Does any man know on what grounds Sir R. PEEL has conceded this little matter about meat ? Has he con sulted the graziers and the cattle breeders ? has he asked the butchers or the consumers ? We believe not. lie has gathered, he says, some startling information of a wonderful scarcity of cattle, of a rise in the price, and of a falling off in the consumption. All very natural c:reutustances, we are sorry to say, and easily explicable, notwithstanding the protection afforded by the prohibi tion to import cattle, enacted by former wiseacres ;ke himself, to which he now attributes the fling off; and therefore proposes to remove People must have bread, and they will have it, before beef. He has made bread dear and scarce ; the agricul turists have been tempted, and obliged, by his protecting Corn laws, to grow more corn than they ctherwise . would, and breed and feed less eattle Hence the scar city and comparative dearness of cattle as well as bread. The derangement is plainly the consequence of men at tempting to adjust what they can neither measure nor comprehend. The scarcity of cattle is the result of an unrighteous Corn-law ; and, instead of abolishing the iniquity, Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to- add to it an income tax. Tiiis is grievous, and it is more grievous to have Mr. LABOUCHERE, • Dr. BOWRING, and that clas of politicians bribed by a- little lip homage to free trade principles, which is no homage at at all, for it is part and parcel of a system of protection, to praise a tariff which is the result of the Corn-law and an income tax. We are sure that these gentlemen cannot have exa mined the tariff, and we will take one of its parts as a vpecimen of the whole. Sir ROBERT PEBL took much praise to himself for lowering and altering the coffee duties. Now, we shall show that by so doing, he has given a much greater boon to the monopolist planters of our own colonies, already revelling in the annual plunder of the people to the amount of several millions, than to the consumers. The tariff shows that the bulk of the coffee imported in 1840 was colonial, which, at 6d. per lb. duty, yielded 373,579/. to the revenue ; and foreign, imported from places within the charter of the East India Company, not the proiuce of its possessions, at 93. duty, which yielded 544,6531. to the revenue. Now Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to reduce the duty on the former to 4d., or one-third, which, supposing no alteration in con sumption, will lessen that part of the revenue 121,526!. At the same tine he proposes to reduce the 9d. duty to 83., which will lessen the second portion of duty mentioned 80,5E1. It is perfectly clear that the colonial coffee, in proportion to its quality, will always command in the market a price equal to the foreign coffee. Now, because our own Colonies cannot supply us with a sufficient quantity of coffee, and we consume a great quantity of the coffee which pays the higher duty, it is equally clear that the colonial proprietor Will put into his pocket the whole difference of duty betwixt the colonial and the foreign coffee. The result, then, is, that Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. GLADSTONE, in their adjustment cf the coffee duties, remit of the taxation on coffee 60,5171. to the con sumers, and bestow—(let the Public mark this as it is done partly by Mr. GLADSTONE, a connexion of West India merchants)-124,5261. of the 170,0001. Sir ROBERT PEEL expects to lose by the alteration of the coffee duties on the wealth-swollen and wealth gorged West India planters. Such is the tariff, which our liberal politicians praise. That is the tariff too, the people are to buy by an income tax. If the" purchase such legislation at such a price, they will be the most besotted and befouled people that was ever struck blind by much success and most overweaning vanity. The cry which the country has raised against the im position of an inquisitorial income tax in time of peace, is beginning to alarm the Cabinet, and accordingly is e now hear of nothing but the wars in which England is engaged in Affghanistan and China. This dishonest Tory trick was well exposed by the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh, Mr. MACAULAY, in the debate last night upon the proposed iniquitous impost. The Right Hon. Gentleman demonstrated that a refer ence to hostilities in Affghanistan was an after thought--that Ministers could have had no idea of a war on that side of the Indus when the resolution to tax income was adopted by the Cabinet. This called up Lord STANLEY, who, disappointed in replying to the eloquence of Mr. SUIEL on Friday night, was of course eager for a fitting opportunity to deliver an oration which was liable to grow stale. With a pertness verg ing upon impiety, he ridiculed the wisdom of the Divine aphorism, " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof," quoted by Mr. WASON ; and modestly claimed for him self and his colleagues the prescience which foresaw, and therefore prepared .against, coming catastrophes. There was no war in Affghttnistan when the Tories resolved upon an income tax, but, with that prophetic force of vision which penetrates the mysteries of futurity, they discovered at a glance what was to happen. 4 , Stanley, the sage, whose comprehensive view, The past, the present, and the future knew"— saw that an inconw tax was the only State remedy, and therefore he adopted it without uttering a syllable about the anticipated reverses in Caubul. Were the occasion less serious, we might be amused with the cool im pudence of this speech. This Parliamentary defence of second-sight legislation is rich in absurdity. But neither the war in China, nor the reverses in Caubul, have had anything to do with the question of the income tax, and the attempt to mix them up with it is as inpudent as it is dishonest. The war with China was as clearly foreseen by the Tories in 1833, as the reverses in Air ghanistau were by the Ministers when they resolved upon an income tax ; and yet what was the opinion then expressed by Sir R. PEEL of sueh an impost ? We are indebted to Mr. WALLACE for last night bringing it to the recollection of the Right Hon. Baronet and his friends. Sir RQBERT then praised the Government for not adopt ing an income tax, and, although a war in Syria was ex pected to embroil us in hostilities with France, he con tended that nothing but extreme necessity could justify Parliament in subjecting the people of this country, in a time of peace, to the • inquisitorial process which must be resorted to, in order to render that impost productive, and that it would be the excess of folly to have recourse to it for raising two or three per cent. Now this excess of fully, denounced in 1833, is the Conservative excess of wisdom in 1842. The fruit of the Premier's meditation is but a returning " of the dog to his vomit," and of the " sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire." it. PEEL, with an air of contrition for past offences, cordially ashamed, or at least shammhfg shame, admitted that he could not maintain the practice he voted for on Monday, but he declined to take an active part in putting an end to it. Bat a great man like Sir ROBERT, being always able to obtain some titled persons to do his dirty work, the Noble Lord we have mentioned is to act for the leader of the House. Sir ROBERT conceals his own disgrace beneath the splend;d and dazzling honours of his Aided followers. His confession, however, and Lord Fn.tscis EGERTON'S motion, promise a complete settlement of the question, and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE will have the high honour of wringing from the Tory majo rity of .the House of Commons the recognition of the right of the people, after it has been suspended for years, to petition against a tax intended to form a part of the supplies for the year. Sir ROBERT PEE-L's conduct on this question was, as usual, equally cunning and contradictory. He submits an income tax to the House, for which he can only find one precedent in the' whole course of our history, and the tax was then ticlop;:ed under circumstances which are now totally wanting. The only precedent he can find fails him, and he. boldly throws it aside, and denies that an income tax is exclusively a war tax. He appeals to the circumstances of the country. tlio de ficiency of the revenue, the impossibility to levy mo re taxes on articles of consumption, the loss of an army in Caubul, and war with China, to justify his proposition. In one ease he : . is all fur reason. and casts precedent to the wind. In the other he is all for precedent and treats reason as a charmer, against whom lie is bound to shut his ears. lie should stick either to reason or to prece- dent ; but, to wake sure of his.vietory, he introduces his tax us a proposition of reason, and forbids it to be ques- tioned by appealing to precedent. His cunning is now undoubted, but such crooked courses do not pass on the world for wisdom. From a notice given in the House ofCommons on Mon day night, we gather that it is the intention of the agricul turists to take " horned cattle " under their special protection: We are not surprised at this, for " like clings to like,"" and there is certainly much of a con genial nature between the protectors and the protected. Both live by the soil ; both are equally dull, sluggish, and impervious to every argument short of a sledge hammer ; and both can bleat and bellow on occasion with equal vigour and effect. In one respect, however, the ox has manifestly the advantage over the agriculturist, for the former is a ruminating animal, whereas the latter never ruminates at all, being Wholly destitute of the logical or thinking faculty, and actin solely from the blind force of instinct. But why d o the agriculturists restrict the range We Lave more than once had occasion to complain that the liberal cause has been much injured by its 'Llniktiriii.Uonclay night Mr. LABOUCIIEJIE, With the %.111164‘-i— -t - 4 !)Eig, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDEESDAY MOW,,cING, APRIL 13, 1842. Isome offieerOf the Government, according to some rule. and he will be made to pay acc or di ng l y. We take it for granted, that the landowners, who occupy laniC"beirg persons known to possess incomes far above 150/. a year, will be compelled to pay - an income tax on all lands in their own occupation of whatever description, in proportion to the value, as well as on the rent they receive from tenants. Our doubt and difficulty arises from persons of an income varying between 15CL and 300/ a year de rived from land in their own occupation. Will they be assessed on the same principle as mere farmers, and will their incomes be estimated at half the amount of the rent the land they occupy would let for? If that be the rule, the consequence will be, that all landowners and occupiers, who with due and ordinary diligence have in comes of 299/. a year and less, which they may leave to their families for ever, will wholly escapa the in come tax, while the surgeon—the next door neighbour of some such farmer—wil have to pay 5/. 18s. 6d. on a hard-earned professional income or 200/. a year, which is totally extinguished the instant he ceases to labour. This is only . one of the many hard inequalities ant gross acts of injustice which will be perpetrated by the income tax. We do not envy the landowners and occu pier who escapes, but we do say that all other men ought to escape as he escapes. MONEY and COMMitRCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

Sailors and Sc Achille!) abounded ; there w, re also loads of Greeks, Turks, Chinese, &c. &c., all of whom sustained their various characters with •considerable. eclat. Dancing commenced at eleven, and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour of the morning. Supper was laid at two, and r e must express our highest satisfaction at the excellent arrcngements. The whole affair passed off in a most agreeable manner, and e were pleased to see so large a number assembled, inas much as that is the best proof that can be adduced that Mr. Cbbard's exertions in catering fisr the public amusement, are fully appreciated. HAYMARKET_ TIIEATRE. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean appeared on Monday night:in the tragedy of the Gamester. Mr. Kean played his part most ably, but we do not hesitate to pronounce him more effec tive in Hamlet and Macbeth. In two or three instances last night we found his transitions too abrupt and sudden to be within the use of nature, but on the whole it was a most tremendous and beart.rending performance, and drew forth much weeping and wailing. In some por tions he was fearfully real. When he falls in with his old serving-man, Jarvis (Strickland) his entreaties to Stukeley to find oat one ray of hope to illumine his dreary path, and his last interview with his wife, were most powerful and affect. ing. Of Mrs. Kein—the sweet, gentle, unresisting Mrs. Beverley—we can only say that she exceeded all her previous efforts, with the exception, perhaps, of Ophelia. The noble indignation w ith w hi ch she rejects Stukeley's tile proposals, and her ejaculation, " I don't believe it !" when he tad her that her husband had given her jewels to his mistress, were perfect pieces of acting. Throughout the whole piece, she sustained her wonderfully natural manner. Both site and her husband were admirably supported by Mr. Stuart, as Stukeley. We shall expect to see him one day at the head of his pr o f ess i on, for in whatever h e attempts he has been invariably successful.

GOVERNESS INSTITUTION, 30, SOIIO-SQUARE.-- Mrs. Hinton respectfully informs the Nobility, ,Gentry, and Principals of Schools, that her list contains the names of English and Foreign Governesses, resident, daily, and occasional, with god references, and properly qualified to take every branch of female education. School property transferred ; and pupils recommended in England, France, Germany, and Swit zerland. Mrs. H. having resided many years on the Continent is familiar with the modern languages.

Robert's mode of blasting was for the first fine in the neighbourhood of Glas gow carried into practical operation in Mr. M‘Callum's quarry, adjoining the Necropolis, on the evening of Saturday last. The operations were directed by Mr. Wilson, of the Mechanics' Institution, and the successful result in every instance gay , . a most convincing proof of the practicability of the application. Scme hundred tons of rock were detached; and several practi cal men wpresent, an d w h o prev i o u s ly w er e scept i ca l o n the matter , h o were expressed their complete convictidn that the adoption of this mode of discharge would be more efficient and economical than the common one.— Caledonian Mercury. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—Miss Adelaide Kem ble took her benefit on Monday at Covent-Garden Theatre. in the opera of La Sonnambu/a. Her performance went of brilliantly, and the house was as fully and respectably attended as the lady herself could desire. persons, or more than one-firth of the annual num justice in a sy i stem which admits of the committal to prison every year of more innocent persons than con victed criminals. Now that Sir R. PEEL has been beaten into a.due sense if the resi.eet which he ought to pay to the constitu ional rights of the people in the sacred cause of petition ng ; and we earnestly trust that such an impression will bo made by the influential members cf every constituency upon their representatives, as to lead those who are worthy of consideration into their proper course, and scare the Tories, returned to serve a special purpose in this Parliament, from ever agaia disregarding the inalienable right of the people to petition when and how they please. In the debate on the income tax, our readers will observe Mr. WALLicn taunted Sir ROBERT PEEL with an entire change of • opinion since he ad dressed the House in 1833; on the subject of an income tax. The quotation from his speech, clearly shows that the . Right Hon. Gentleman himselfpointed out, so long ago as 1833, the odious nature of this impost. The exemption of Ireland from the tax is another point of high importance, and we entirely concur in the remark which Mr. WALLACE made in the late discussion, when he accused the Premier of having cautiously and cunningly devised his measures so as to place the various classes of society, as well as the inhabitants of the different countries, in hos tile array against each other. The peOple of Scot land are esrecially indebted to Mr. 'WALLACE for the stand he is to make on their behalf. But it is a common cause and we are sure the representatives of the three kingdoms will so see it, and cordially unite in re jecting this measure, and stopping it at its present stage, or so mutilating it at a future time as to have a similar effect. We would earn , stly, also, entreat our Irish friends to look well to the interests of their country. If they are wise, they will believe what Sir ROBERT PEEL said in 1833, and utterly repudiate his apparent promise of exempting Ireland from an income tax. He has already. said, that his only reason for now exempting Ireland, is 1 the want of machinery for the application of the tax. He knows well enough he has now got machinery, which did not exist in 1833. The surveys which have been made of Ireland, for the purposes of tithe commutation and the working of the Poor-laW, have been accompa nied with valuations which will easily enable him to apply the income tax. We hope the working classes will see the deception which Sir ROBERT PEEL has attempted to impose upon them. When speaking against Lord ALTBORP's proposal, in 1833, he then saw clearly enough that a tax upcn income and property would directly injure the labouring classes. But now that the proposal comes from himself lie tells them that he is their friend, forsooth, and tha taking away the income of their employers will have no effect upon them, in their unheard of distressed state in 1842. A word is enough to the wise. The working classes will see through the fallacy as quickly as we have done, and view the attempt in the same light. There is no news in the Paris Journals received this morning. Nothing is talked of in the Chambers but the budget, and the fierce attacks of the Opposition are but what in England we would call hustings' speeches. CUSTOM DUTY.—An account of the gross and net receipts of each Custom-house, for the years 1840 and 1841, has just been laid before Parliament. The fol lowing five places stand highest on the list :—London (in 1841, gross receipts), 11,757,262/. ; Liverpool, 4,140,5931.; Glasgow (including Greenock and Port Glasgow), 1,050,462/. ; Bristol, 1,027,160/. ; and Dublin, 977,718/. The receipts at all these ports, with the ex ception of Liverpool, hare increased considerably as compared with those of the previous year. The falling off at Liverpool amounts to 467,0004 JUSTICE OF THE LAW.—(From a Correspondent.)— One law says that the property of a person dying in testate shall pay a larger legacy duty than if he or she had made a will ; another law forbids a person below a certain age from making a will. Thus the property of a minor of a certain age is regularly plundered. It is mulcted because the individual did not do a certain act which the law forbids. Just law ! Wise law-makers ! LET TILE LANDHOLDERS IbIITATE IR R. PEEL.— "Sir Robert is known to be a considerable landowner ; and we have been informed by a gentleman residing in Staffordshire that the Right Hon. Baronet, in order to become the sufferer himself, rather than his Staffordshire tenantry should maintain any loss or injury In the event of his reduced scale of import duties proving temporarily prejudicial to the interests of agriculture, has given in structions for their rents to be reduced twenty per cent."— Ten Towns' Messenger.--[A very proper hint to the land lords. Sir Robert Peel's practice is superior to his preaching. In the House of Commons he has told the country gentlemen they have nothing to fear from re ducing the duty on meat, and allowing the importation of oatt:e. In Staffordshire he tells them, reduce your rents, my Lords and Gentlemen, 20 per cent.; in order to meet the alterations which I propose. For our parts we have no faith either in his words or what is reported of his conduct, both are intended to serve a purpose , and keep alive that s y stem of deceit which in him, from custom, has b e come a second nature.—ED. Sun.] INCOME TAX—LANDLORDS OCCUPYING THEIR OWN LANDB.—A Correspondent asks how they ate to be rated to the income tax? We answer that we do not know. We suppose that in certain cases, such as the great parks that surround the mans i ons of the nobility, and such as Lord Althorp oe mpying, perhaps, 700 or 1,000 acres, the rent of such land will be calculated by of their sympathies to " horned cattle ?" Have " Co lonial Asses" no claim on their kindly consideration ? We should have imagined that the long-eared fraternity, even though of foreign growth, would have been the primary objects of their solicitude ; for—putting fellow feeling out of the question—there can be no doubt that if asses cbuld ,be imported from our Colonies, duty free, or nest to it, the agriculturists would gain a vast accession of numerical strength. Con ' ceive, too, with what added emphasis a BUCKINGHAM would plead the cause of his party, when backed by the support of a herd of kindred thistle-eaters from the Cape ! By the timely assistance of these Colonial allies, he might possibly succeed in terrifying Sir ROBERT PEEL into a capitulation on his own terms ; for if the bray of a single ass once put a lion to flight, it is evident that the bray ofthousands must have& thousand-fold effect on a Tory Premier, who is anything but a lion in his nature ! Pursuant to Act 56 Geo. 111., ehap. 120, a return has been made to the House of Commons of the number of parsons committed to the different gaols throughout Ireland for trial in the year 1841. No data can be sup plied for forming correct opinions as to efficacious opera tion of the laws in any country equal in value to such returns, when drawn up in the lucid manner of the one now before us. We have first a return of the gross trunber committed ; next of the number against whom indictments were fund ; next of the number found guilty and the number acquitted by a Jury ; and last of the n um be r no t prosecuted, and also how many remain for trial. Now it may be taken as an axiom, that the social condition of every country is advanced, and the administration of Justice rendered more perfect, in proportion as the number of convictions for crimes approaches nearer to the num ber of persons acccused and committed to prison for the supposed guilt of such offences. Where many are imprisoned, and only few found guilty, one of two great evils must exist—namely, either the law cannot reach all the guilty, or innocence is no protection against im puted crime and false imprisonment. Now one or other of these evils is frightfully prevalent in Ireland. This is demonstrable from the return before us. Let us begin. with the ultra-Protestant and loyal North, of whose Jury system Mr. O'CoNitxti. recently made such an exposure 'in the House of Commons. Within the last year there were 599 individuals committed for various crimes to the county gaol of Antrim, of whom 62 were acquitted by the verdict of a Jury, against 41 no bill was found, and 16 were not prosecuted. Here we have 119 ber of committals, legally innocent of any crime, and therefore unjustly imprisoned. Of 47 committals to the ga'l of Carrickfergus only 25 were convicted by the Jury, 20 being declared innocent. Out of 450 indivi duals committed to the gaol of Armagh only 224, or less than one half, were found guilty. The committals to the gaol of Li!Todd, in the county of Donegal, were 245, of. which only 81 were convicted, all the rest being legally innocent ! There were committed to the gaol of Downpatrick, in . the county 'of Down, 540 individuals, of whom 287 only were convkted. In the South things are still worse. The number of committals to the cottn:y gaol of Galway for the last year was 1,040 ; of this number 178 were acquitted by the verdict of a - jury, bills were found against 425, and 268 were not prose cuted, and consequently, after a considerable period of confinement, were -discharged without trial! Even in the Liberator's county of Kerry we find that out of 110 committals, only 38 were found guilty by a Jury. Nor is the Capital an exception to the rest of the country- The principal gaols of the city of Dublin are Newgate and Kilmainham. To the former the number of com mittals was 380, convictions 191 ; to the latter, com mittals 113, convictions 56—being less than one half, We do not 'notice this return with any view to put abroad an impression that crime is increasing in Ireland. On the contrary, we are gratified to find that offences of an atrocious character, and which indicate a barbarous state of society, are decreasing as rapidly as education is spreading throughout that country. Still we have quoted sufficiently from it to show that the administra tion of justice is very imperfect, and that, from whatever cause arising, the e‘ it does not the less loudly call for the exercise of a wise and impartial vigilance on the part of the Government. Centuries ago Sir JOHN DAvis wrote that no people loved justice better than the Irish, and as the Lord Mayor of Dublin asserts that they are un changed in that respect, they cannot but recognise in- S.UMMARYOF NEWS AND Ottbitt itptitton.

M. Sauret, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, gave a magnificent ball on Saturday night, at the Palais de Bour bpn. No less than five thousand invitations had been issued. A number of Generals and officers attended in full uniform. The Dukes of Orleans, Nemours, A umale, and the Prince de Joinville, were present. Lord Cowley, our Ambassador ; fieschid I'acha, the Ottoman Ambassador; as well as other members of the diplomatic corps, were also present. The Ministers, all the Parliamentary notabilites, and the most dis. tinguished "illustrations" of the French capital, were included in the company. The ball lasted till daybreak. At Lisbon, on the 4th instant, the Queen el Portugal's birth day was celebrated with the usual festivities. There was a bull-fight, at which the King and courtiers attended. Four French sailors were arrested at Lisbon for killing a Por tuguese boatman. 11 .A. 12 iLI.A.ITENT.11.121r. The Forged Exchequer Bills' Bill was read a second time in the House of Lords last night, after a few words from Lord Brougham and Lord .Monteagle. In the Commons, Mr. Martin Blake and Mr. George Bankes were ordered to be taken into the custody of the Ser geant-at-Arms, for not being present in the Hous, toake their places on two Electio n Committees, on which e they C had beets cho•en. Mr. Cowper presented a petition against the income tax from Hertford, according to notice, and moved that it do lie on the table. In the course of the debate Sir Robert Peel, though generally very engrossing, declined the honour of un dertaking to revise the despotic rule against receiving the petitions of the people, which he defended on Mouday ; albeit, he was obliged to admit that it could not be maintained. The debate was adjourned till Friday to allow Lied F. Egerton to try his hand at tinkering up the hole which Sir Robert Peel and the Tories have made in their hypocrisy, letting in the light on their intentions to put an end to all liberties which stand in the way of their success. His Lordship is to propose a resolution confirming the people's right to petition by a standing order, God save the mark, of the Honourable House. In reply to Lord Ebrington, Mr. Gladstone stated that the duty on cyder, which has been lowered, and the duty on hops, which remains completely prohibitory, had been duly consi dered, we presume, by Mr. Gladstone, who is, of course in timately acquainted with all the secrets of cyder and beer mak ing, from planting an apple tree and a hill of hops, till the bright beverage foams arid sparkles in the tankard. Mr. Wason moved some resolutions to regulate the conduct of Counsel before Electioi: Committees, but, after a short de bate, withdrew them. The debate on the Report on the Income Tax was again re newed, and occupied the House the chief part of the evening. At a few minutes before one it was again adjourned, contrary to the es ish of Lord John Russell, who expected that it should have been broug t to a close. Mr. Alasterman, in a true Tory spirit, regretted the delay of a few nights— because commerce, was suffering, while he and his party have delayed all settlement of the question for nine months, and have now brought it so before the public, that it never earl he settled as Sir Robert Peel proposes. The two Houses of Parliament may pass his resolution.; and his Bills, but the Houses of Parliament will find that it is as much beyond their power to settle these questions in the manner Sir Robert Peel proposes, as to drink up the Atlantic. The two Houses are no more omnipotent ie morals than physics, and can no more alter the laws of right and wrong than the laws ahieh govern the ebb and flow of the tide. The House sat, till One o'Clock. - PUBLIC OPINION. The Times contains a leading article on the subject of the right of petitioning, from which we quote the following pas sage We cannot but. repeat our regret that Sir Hobert Peel has persevered in his opposition to the reception of peti aions against the income or any other tax while under the consideration of Parliament. We regret that he should have exposed his Ministry to something so very like a defeat as a mere majority of one. And we regret that he should have taken a position which at ems to us at variance with . the ordinary principles on which the House of Commons must be conteet to act, and which, therefore, he will not Le able to maintain, but at the expense of much credit and popularity. Ihe arguments urged by him in favour of this course are— first, that it is backed by the practice of 150 years ; secondly, that it would enable persons, factiously dis posed, seriously to embarrass and delay the Government mea sures for the defence of the country, when expedition was ab solutely necessary for the common safety. For ourselves, act must confess we are not disposed to regard with any very deep reverence an antiquity which goes no further back than 150 years: it appears to us just that age which is not. so much ancient as old-fashioned. it is old enough to be out of date, but not old enough to be buund up with any very venerable or touching associatioas. or is the subject -matter one which receives any gnat dignity from antiquity, even were that anti quity ti times what it actually is. Laws which have become national habits—which are interwoven even with popular pre judiees—whieh cannot be removed wiihout danger, or at least shock, to certain other true and useful ideas with which, in the mind of the people, their ramifications are entwined—or again, laws, which embodying, though incorrectly, a principle of deep importance, have yet in their imperfect shape, by mere force of long habi t , o b ta i ne d a binding form, which' could noi be hoped for any newer, though jester and more convenient, ar rangemente—such laws in such an antiquity have not only a ptesurn s tion of wisdom, but a tangible and substantial advan tage—not only ground for hesitating, but a reason (as far as it goes) for refusing to change." : ` he Herald say,. A majo r i t y o f 1 on l y, —on a division of 2to 2 21.—repudiated the question of bringing up the anti-income-tax petition. We may be allowed to offer a few words on the more prominent speeches of the evening. In doing so, we cannot refrain from renewing the expression of our regret that a great cenetitutional right should have found i s staunchest opponents in Ct nservative Mi nisters. The event of this division has at once con firmed and justified the terms in which we before al luded to tee subject. The spirit of fair play ; con sistent good faiths in public as in private affairs; and attachment (proof against all adverse conditions of circum stances), to the privileges accorded to them by the coastitu tion— these are the properties which ith ntify the cause of a Conservative Government with the hearty support of the Con serve ive portion of the public. Were it en account of this feeling, alone, we should always be reluctant to see a Con- Aiervative Premier vindicating any course opposed to the na 'tural tendency of such moral properties by arguments founded merely ou considerations of expediency or convenience in relation to the greeter facility it ;night afford to the despatch of the public bthirie s by the Government or the Parliament." The Advertiser makes the &lowing observation; on the im - potent question of the right of petitioning Miserable, even to contemptuous pity, was the position in which Sir Robert Peel last night stood in the House of Commons, on re suming the debate on Mr. T. Duneombe's motion to receive a petition against the income tax. The Right Honourable Be nnet, in addressing the House, appeared not to have reco vered his self-pos.ession, so indecorously lost in the debate of Friday eight, and commenced his speech as follows :—" Sir, 1 cannot acqu esce in the motion that this petition be bi ought up, because I believe that the country generally is adverse to the proposal." What ! The Premier belieees that the country is adverse to having its own voice heard in the House of its so-called Representatives ! I We do not be lieve the Premie+ such a dolt as to believe any such thing. The country may on other subjects be divided in opinion, but on the tight, the necessity, and the value of patitioniug, notwithstanding the gross disregard with which petitions for the most part are treated by the House of COM 111011!, there exists throughout the country but one feeling of anxious unanimity. If the country,' as asserted by the Premier, e ere generally adverse to the proposal,' 110 inconvenience need be appre hended from complying with Mr. Duncembe's motion, as th country would not offer petitions against its own feelings; but the country, as the Premier well knows, so far from being ad verse to the proposal, regards it as the vital principle of public freednrn, and therefore the assertion of the Premier must be regarded as a wilful falsehood, perpetrated in support of a posi tion in favour of w hich no other or better argument could be alleged than that it has existed fur 150 years." We take the followi , g from the Chronicle :—" The debate on the income tax was again adjourned. The principal feature in the discussion was the resuscitation of Lord Stanley. Con jecture has, of course, been busy in accounting for the silence hitberte maintained by a nobleman not remarkable for his dif. fidence, except on subjects strictly within his own department. Some would have it that Lord Stanley has been purposely kept in the shade by the Premier, under the apprehension that the peculiar talent for irritating opponents pos sessed by his Lordship might add to his difficulties. Others agtin give his Lordship credit for sufficient suseepti bd:ty to wish that time might deaten the impression left by his Tarnboff expedition before he again placed himself con spicuously befere the public. But his Altholtition last night sufficiently proved that Lord Stanley's silence was not the re sult of any distrust of his own powers. There was a daring dis regard of truth in his misrepresentatien of Mr. Macaulay, quite worthy of his most successful efforts in the same line. 'the feeling against the income tax begins to grow stronger in the House; and the country is now taking a moat decided part against if." The Post says :—" With regard to the new tariff, the Whig_ Radicals give out that the Government will receive the sup port of the great body of the Liberal Opposition. That, we take the liberty of thinking, will very much depend upon cir cumstances. If the ' Liberal Opposition' can put the Govern ment in a minority by voting against the Government, we feel morally certain that they will so vote. If they see that, let them do what they will, the Government must succeed, then indeed, we doubt not, they will make a merit of approving the measure of their opponents, and vote with the Alieisters. The Whig party never yet were superior to the grand motive of embarrassing those apposed to them, and we see nothing in their present. temper to le..d any rational being into the belief that they are likely to improve upon their former practices. We believe that at this moment Lord John Russell would be but too happy to coalesce with the country gentlemen whom he so glibly insulted on Friday evening, if they were to resolve on opposing the importation of cattle and provisions to this country, which it is the object of a part of the tariff to en. courage." lAECTIONEE St The registratio E n for' Mayo, Ireland, ING concluded on Wednes day, when the Liberal registry showed a gain of 34 over their opponents., The Wig;n Election C.Gawnsittee terminated its proceedings yesterday, whew Aft; Standish was declared the sitting Mem ber, thus giving to the Liberals a gain of one. The Marlow Committro also terminated, and Mr. R. Hampden was declared the sitting Member, giving a gain of one to the Tories. NAVAL AND MILITARY. General S:r William Houston died in Kent on Friday last, at the age of 78, having been 61 years in the army. His ser vices in Egypt gained him a medal, and his bri:liant services at Fuentes d'Onor also won him a simil.ir honorary distinction. A case of spontaneous ignition took place on Sunday in the decks or a surveying steamer at Woolwich, originating among some tow, oil, and turpentine, stowed together : it was fortu nately quenched in time. Another wieck, in which four out of six persons have been drowned, has taken place at Dungeness. On this dangerous point, nearly twenty Frenchmen alone have perished recently. In 1724 King George I. was driven on shore; and lives are yearly lost. LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court, Godwin, the policeman, repeatedly examined at the Mansion-house on a charge of stealing a cleak and time-piece from Mrs. Lewis, who keeps a marine store-shop, was tried and convicted on Monday, and sen ten, ed to be transported fur 15 }stars. At the Liverpool Assizes last week an action was brought by the trustees of the Building Society against Currie and Stratham, solicitors, for negligence in taking an insufficient mortgage security, in which the Society had suffered a loss of 1,3501. It appeared from the evidence that no imputation was made against the moral character of the defendants, but were simply liab!e for negligence ; and the jury returned a verdict fur the full amount. Elizabeth Edge was tried at the Chester Assizes far poisoning her brother and sister, on the 7th of August last. It was clearly proved that she had bought arsenic, and on the body of the sister being opened, about forty grains were found in the stomach. Tt e brother had died six weeks before, and strong suspicion existed that the prisoner had poisoned .them both, in order to get their property. No evidence to satisfy the Jury on that point was given, and they accordingly found a verdict of Not Guilty. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Arrangements are in progress for the installation of the Duke of Northumberland, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge..

We have received the following from Watscn's General Telegraph Office, 83, Cernhill. " TELEGRAPH CUTTER, or, CAPE CLEAR, APRIL 8, P.M.—The Captain of the Diana, from Savanilla, for Liver pool, 40 days out, reports the day he sailed, Feb. 20, peace had been proclaimed; that General Carmona and General Eran, the President of New Grenada had met, and arranged, when hostilities had ceased. " her Majesty's ship Comus had arrived, and was lying at ; Savanilla when he left." SIR ROBERT PEEL'S _ _EQ UAL IN COME TAX (Continued from the last Number of the Examiner.) Passing by, for the present, the incomes derived from the public funds and other securities, and the salaries of public officers, let us consider that from " trades and professions." In 1814, the assessable amount of this was 37,058,9981, and now Sir R. Peel, taking cam. not to al lude to what it then was, estimates it at 56,000,004. If this be true, the mercantile and wanutheturing capi tal of the country has, within eight-and twenty years, increased by une-h4f, while the rent of land. has stood still, and the capital engaged in its cultiva tion declined by one-qiird of its whole amount. In 1814, the income derived from the rent of land ex ceeded that derived from " trades and professions," by upwards of 20,000.0001.—n0w it falls short of it by 16,600,0001. So touch for "protection !" Deducting one-iourth from the income of " trades and professions," Sir Robert reckons that it will yield a revenue of 1,220,000/, which is 20 per cent, beyond what he ex pects from the landlords and their tenahts put together. The inequality of any income tax is clear, from the total impossibility of assessing it on any fair and just principle ; but Sir R. Peel's is downright odious, from the gross partiality it shows to !;ome classes of property, and its virtual proscription of others. It is needless to , add that the favoured class is the landed interest. On Sir H. Peel's own sliming, this a nd it s s h arc o f t h e i m post are as follows: Rent of Land £39,400,000 Rent of Mines, &e.... 1,500,000 i h(s. 3.500,000 Profits of Ten tuts... 38,396,000 • • £82,796,000 £1,127,197 Here is a property of upw,(rds of eighty-two millions. which yields but 1,117,197/. but which, were it assessed on the same principle as all the other de , eriptions or property are, ought to have yielded 1,83:3,037/. It pretends to be assessed at 7d. in the pound, and is, in reality, assessed only at 4cl. Sir B. Peel. therelm-e, besides preserving their monopoly to the landlords, pays them, to pass his Bill and keep his pace, a wholesale bribe exceeding seven hundred thousand pounds per annum ! ! Coming no . xt to the income of the indtEtrious classes, let us see how Sir IL Peel deals with it. kledording to his own estimate it is as follows : .` House Rents ... Tax' £549,450 Public Funds, &c 30,000,000 ... Ditto ... 646,000 Shares 3,429,000 ... Ditto ... 75,362 Trades and Professions 56,000,000 ... Ditto ... 1,200,000 £114,429,000 • £2,470,812 The great body of the owners of this description of property has no majority in the House of Commons—no monopoly to defend—no power to keep a Minister in place. Consequently no bribe is paid to them, but, on the contrary, the 7d. in the pound is ex!icted to the last farthing; and it follows, of course, that under a pretended equal :ax of 21. 18s. 4d. in the hundred, they are actually taxed by 64 per cent. above the favoured class. Any tile that chooses to follow these few simple figures will be at no lots to detect the juggler in his trick. But even this is fir too favourable a statement for Sir R. Peel's scheme. From the 82,000,000/, and upwards hich come under the head of land, we must deduct three-fourths for the clerical tithe which are enjoyed by the clergy as mere annuitants ; and this sum, as well as the 7,000,000/. of public salaries, must be added to the incomes of those unconnected with the land, or living by means more or less precarious. In this case, the assess ment for the first will be 80,021,000/., its contribution to the income tax 1,074,420/., while the assessment for the last will be 124,420,4001., and its contribution will be near 2,700,0001. Thus the boasting and boasted—the petted and the favoured landed interest will contribute to Sir R. Peel's Equal income . tax but twenty-s even parts in the hundred,—but Ewe shillings and one penny in the pound, while in return for this pittance it . receives from the contributors of th e rema i ning part of thu 3,700,000 t, twelve millions, at least, f or t h e corn monopoly, and two millions, at the lowest reckoning, through its exemption from the probate and legacy duty. The trading and manufacturing interests, on behalf of themselves and the working classes, complain of such distress as they never knew hi:Awe, and prove the Corn lttW to be the principal cause. The patriot Minister answers, " Let the Corn-laws continue ; and in order to perpetuate them, in so far as in me lies, let the impost which your fathers abhorred be reimposed, and in such a shape, too, that the complainants shall contribute 13s. 4d. in the pound of its amount, while the opressors shall pay but Gs. Bd. !" This is the very antithetis of justice and fair-play. " Bold and honest Sir R. Peel 1" say sonic over-liberal Members of the House of Commons. We cannot join them, but.willing, at the same time, to concede to any sort of merit, its due weed of applause, we say to Sir Robert, just as we would have said to Barrington, or to any other gentleman of his class, that ilistinguished himself by the li g ht ness o f his fingers abote all his con temporaries, and who, as the reward of such excel lence, acquired a domicile for life at the Antipodes, " Dexterous and unscrupulous Sir Robert —yet not ab solutely, after all, so nimble but that we feel your hands in our pockets 1" Sir R. Peel's income tax, therefore, starts on an avowed principle of partiality and gross imequality ; but the working of the measure will give rise to endless in- equalities, which, although transparent enough, are no! quite so much on the surface. M. Lef _:ranc, an innkeeper, at Fromereville, in the Meuse, has lately exhibited, at the Sub-Prefecture of Verdun, a carriage of his invention, which is moved by mechanism with out horses, and is mAle to run by any person on the front seat, who can keep it in motion without any great effort or fatigue. The carriage is open, the wheels and axletrees are '!•,f cast iron, and it weighs about 5301 b. English. U. Lefranc went in it from Fromereville to Verdun, a distance of five miles, in an hour The mechanism is said to be extremely simple. ANOTHER COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.—On Thursday morning last, one of the most alarming coal-pit accidents oc curred at a pit in Orcliffe, that has happened for a num b er of years in this district, thoughl not attended with immediate loss of life. It appears that on the morning in question the miners descended the pit as usual, about twenty in number, and re sumed their labour for a short time, when the tire-damp ex ploded with most alarming fury. A great number of the poor unfortunate workmen are severe!y burnt, and some, it is pain ful to relate, are in a very perilous state. The names of the sufferers we have been able to asce. tain are J oh* Grey, a..d fa re i Marsh, nfo r brother med th a t five ed or s six other h s ° , sister, w Pemberton, are also ve ry severely burnt.— two persons of the names w of w re h s o ide re in sid C e ha a p t el-lane. Bolton Free Press. According to a letter from Constantinople, of the 9th ult., in the Leipsic Gazette, a difference has arisen be tween the English and French Ambassadors and the Austrian Internuncio, respecting the choice of the new Emirs, who are to be named for the Government of the Le banon. " France," says this letter, " pretends that the choice of the chief of the Mar on i tes ought to be with The Austr 'her, as the an I Catholics of Syria are under her protection." internuncio maintains the contrary, and states that the Deputation of the Maronites now in Constantinople have solicited the protection of Austria. The English Am. bassador, on the ocher hand, is said to have insisted upon the Druses having a chief of their own independently of the Maronites. Austria, it is added, would join with France, if she would agree to the appointment of the Catholic patriarch of the Lebanon as temporal chief of the Maronites. A FASHIONABLE THIEF.

" Poetry by Mrs. Henms. There seems to be no fixed idea throughout this composition. The composer has attempted a scena on the same scale as Hutchins Callcott's "Last Man." We wish we could say he had succeeded. The words, however beautiful, are not well adapted for music ; neither to the recitative nor continuous melody. His phrases are too abrupt—his modulation too sudden ; the resolution of his discords frequently offending the ear, especially in the symphony at the beginning of page 4. The melody that follows to the words— Ye clouds that gorgeously repose," and ending, "For those whose earthly race is run," is the best, and in much better keeping. The remainder is full of short imaginings, and ineffective. " THIS MOON IS SAILING O ' ER THIS SLY. " A more simple composition than the former, in the usual ballad style ; rather pretty, and would be more pleasing, if Mr. Haigh had been content with less change from the original key in so short a space, as a sixteen bar melody. REMEMBER'ST THOU THE SUMMER ' S DAT. " This is the best of the three ; simple and flowing, agreeable, and much more correctly put together. We do not here observe the frequent use of discords unresolved, as in the former compositions. The song, without much pretension to originality, .is by far the most musician-like of the set, and as such we recom mend it.
