" The proceedings of last night in the House of Commons will inform the country what is intended should be its future condition in relation to its inances, dating from its present era. If men do not bestir themselves now and with rapidity, we are come to this ominous conclusion of the late struggle that we are to have 6,000,0001. of war taxes settled upon us for ever in time of peace. 6,000,0001. of war taxes did we say ? No, 60,00,0001. of one war tax, but that more severely grinding than all the rest put together —a tax of so searching and unpitying a nature, that coming upon the track and heels of other taxes, it strips us perfectly naked ; it sweeps off the productions of industry as the caterpillar i s sa id, i n t h e P rop h et Joel, to clear away and destroy whatever of the fruits of the earth God's former plagues had spared. That which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten, and that which the locust bath left hath the canker worm eaten, and that which the canker-worm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.' In short, we are to have a peace income tax to the amount of half the war in come tax : that is to say, the agents of Government, or their commissioners under this detested impost, are in future to have the right of fetching up every man in this country from his home, his barn, his shop, his counting-house, and of demanding from him how he lives, what profit he makes by his toil, his trade, or profession, what allowance he assigns out of it for the maintenance of children or parents, or other poor relatives, what debts he has incurred with others, or others have incurred with him. There is not, in truth, al secret which from motives of feeling, honour, delicacy, or convenience, a man would keep inviolate in his own bosom, that the persons acting under this inquisitorial process have not a right to tear from' him. All this, we say, the .commissioners of income tax are still and in future to have a right to do. As they have done it in times past, which were times of great danger, for the sake of obtaining 10 per cent. from every man's income, they are also to do it in times when there is no public danger, and for the sake of obtaining only 5 per cent.: that is to say, the impelling cause has wholly vanished; the torture is the same, and the pecuniary result only half in amount. The victory of Waterloo was, indeed, a great and glorious one, few could have calculated that these were to ha ve een among its fruits. " The radical and fundamental truth is, that there ANNIJITLES.—In the AUSTRALASIAN CO LONIAL and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE and ANNUITY COMPANY, Annuitants participate in the Profits of the Company, and receive a rate of ANNUITY much more favourable than can be granted by any Company making its investments wholly in England.

In consequence of the Country, it is necessury to state that no Travellers are employed in the above Establishment. No connection with is no occasion whatever for this tax during any peace, and still less during the present peace than any other, though we have little question that if even the 10 per cent. were now granted there are those who would find the means of consuming that also. Whatever is granted will be expended, and it is only by limiting the grants that we can curtail the expen diture. We have been solemnly assured again and again that the income tax should be withdrawn at the end of the war, and for once we had a kind of proof of the sincerity of these professions, for at the peace of Amiens it was abolished. On the very day when the news arrived of the peace, Lord Sidmouth, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, came down to the House, and thus e x p resse d himself:—' It is my in tention to propose a repeal of the tax on income. I am desirous that the sentiments that I entertain re specting that measure be perfectly understood. As a war tax, I am persuaded it was a legitimate source of revenue ; but I have ever considered it in no other light than as a war-tax, inapplicable to a time of peace.'--March 29, 1802. " Could it be believed, that a Cabinet of which the chief member thus spoke at that time should be almost individually the same as the Cabinet which, in violation of its own recorded sentiments, would now enforce this tax upon us, at a period to which it has been declared inapplicable, and during which we have been promised that it should not be applied, namely, a period of peace ? Can such united inconsistency and insincerity be mentioned without exciting the blush of shame in those who are guilty of it ? Or, if the tax should be relinquished at the peace of Amiens, when Bonaparte was still young and still uncon quered, and France all histile and at his command, what posiible reason can be assigned for its continu ance during the . present peace, when our chief and only enemy has been condemned with shame and de- feat to eternal obscurity, and France has been r ange d under the command o f V her legal Sovereign, our firm and grateful ally ? " Again, is it contended that the tax is only to be enforced for a short time, and with a view to wind up the arrears of the war ? What war ? what arrears?

Why, the Wit; aid butlast ii); — ;; months, and ways and means were provided during last Session of Parliament for the war expenditure of the whole year. Instead of arrears, therefore, there ought to be, and must be, too, a surplusage from the last grants. At the peace of Amiens, indeed, at the close of a war of ten years, there might be some imperfect settlements , to com p', te, some arrears to wind up, yet even then the .:".rinister spoke with just abhorrence of continuing the income tax ; but after a war of two months, sup ported by the grants of a whole year ' and those of a magnitude commensurate with the danger to which we were exposed, what mockery is it to talk to us of arrears and incomplete accounts ! It is clear, therefore, from obvious precedent, by common reason, and every man's feeling and conviction, that there is no occasion whatever for the continuance of this singular and unparalleled im p.ost, and that if it is co n ti nue d now, no j ust cause for its abolition can ever arise : no more favour able than the present for its extinction, can ever exist. The resources of France have been wasted, her armies beaten, and her Sovereign is friendly : in an other year jealousies may arise—in two or three years more France may repair her shattered fortunes and assume a more formidable position, and there will then be no reason for the reduction of our expendi ture. And another war, which shall find us already subjected to an income tax of 5 per cent., will com mence its first financial operation by adding 10 per cent. to that. But we know the will of the country too well to suppose that it can trust to the repetition of promises already broken. Only we must be ac tive ; others know the disposition of the nation as well as we, and they think to outrun us."—The Times, Feb. 13, 1816. " The discussion on the income tax should, in re gular course, take place this evening; but from the manner in which Ministers received Mr. Baring's in timation that he meant to move a postponement of that tremendous question to a more distant period, we have little to doubt of their disposition to accede to the proposed delay. None can deny Ministers the praise of candour in this respect ; and we trust that they will in the issue be found to have as little cause to upbraid their countrymen at large with the want of spirit. We are, indeed, ready to confess, that if the people could be so base and abject as not now to stir, when the consequences of this measures are so well understood—the violation of faith under which it is, or would be, proposed so acutely felt—they are worthy of no better fate than to have a standing army and an eternal income tax fastened upon them. For our own parts, we should have thought that very recent experience might have shown men the dread ful danger to be apprehended from standing armies, the debasement they inflict on their fellow-citizens, the miseries which they carry forth among their neighbours, and above all the difficulty, when once they are established, with w hi c h th ey are to b e got rid of. Look at that of the late French tyrant. The merest remnant of it now existing, dissolved and scattered over the whole of France, obliges the allies to maintain a cordon of a hundred and fifty thousand troops, supported by a chain of the strongest fortresses on the confines of the country. Neither do we blame Ministers for the share they have taken in this precautionary measure. But while they are at these pains to put down a standing army abroad, let us not have one at home. Let the painful service in which they are still engaged in a foreign land, teach them their duty upon their own. Let them look at the ominous inference that would be drawn from these ostensible facts,—that while 30,000 British troops are required as our contingent towards preventing the military Jacobins of France from rising again to harass mankind, we have like wise occasion to keep 25,000 on foot in this very island, for some similar purpose, we suppose, for no other purpose whatever has yet been declared, or can be de clared. Let Ministers, we say, beware of the con- elusions which evidently result - from these insulting premises."—The Times, Feb. 26, 1816. ' " The Chancellor of the Exchequer, indeed, asto nished his hearers by an intimation that he would yet try the measure; that the people had not so moved against it as might have been expected, and that time sufficient had been allowed them. Al most all the parts of this declaration are of the same east as those more solemn and ancient ones by which the people of England had been before as sured that with the war the income tax should cease ; that is, they are false and unfounded. As to the opposition which the nation is making, and has made, to this inquisitorial measure, the fruit of it uppearedimmediately a ft er at the bar of the House, in volumes of petitions from all quarters of the ,ed in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINS Hour. at ONE. CHARGE. realm, signed by thousands upon thousands of the the most respectable names ; and with regard to the time al owed us for resisting the i ncome tax, when was it known till now that the Chancellor of tho Exchequer ever brought forward his financial schemes at so early a period ? When was it ever known, indeed, that he brought them forward till after Easter ? Would he have had the people come forth before they had been certain of his intended violation of the promises so solemnly given, and beg Ministers not to be treacherous, not to deceive them.—Times, Feb. 27, 1816: We shall conclude by extracting from Parlia mentary debates of the same year some account of what passed in the House of Commons relative to the destruction of all documents connected with the col lection of the income tax : MAY 3, 1816. " Mr. Brougham alluded to certain circular letters which had been issued to the surveyors of the different districts, calling upon them to transmit copies of all the assessments to the income tax. This hakrbeen done even so late as the 17th of April, a month after the vote of the House had pia an end to the very name of the tax, as it was hoped. What could be the object of making this inquiry into the affairs of every man after the Act had expired ? To gratify what curiosity—in what quarter—for what purpose—was this full. and complete copy of the assessment of every man's income—for those were the words of the letters—to be given ? The returns made to London were ordered to be kept in neat books, which were accessible, not merely to the commis sioners, but to every petty clerk in ofrice. "Mr. Vansittart said, if some step of this kind had not been taken, many irregularities must have oc curred in the collection of arrears. " Mr. Brougham observed, that such could not be the object, for it was mentioned in the circulars sent to the collectors that the returns should be made out with neatness . and accuracy, as they were to be kept as records in the tax-office. Such records would give an unfair exposure of the private circumstances of individuals who paid the tax. He thought it unjust to have such documents to refer to, in order to show what such and such a man was worth at any particular time, and he should now take 'an opportunity of moving that directions be given to the Board of Taxes, in order that they may take steps for the destruction of all such records. " Mr. Baring (now Lord Ashburton) deprecated the preserving of the records of the assessment of the property of individuals, as being a remnant of that in quisitorial measure, which the sense of the country had destroyed." " MAT 30, 1816. " Mr. Brougham again alluded, to the motion of which he had given notice relative to the destruction of all the returns made respecting the income tax. He understood that no objection would be made to the motion, and that the only question was as to the mode of collecting the papers for the purpose of destroying them. " Mr. Vansittart assured the House that there was no wish to preserve the returns alluded to, and that such directions had been given as would substantially effect the object. A circular had been sent to the different officers for this purpose. It was proposed to erase the names of individuals from all returns. The returns themselves would not be entirely destroyed, as it was necessary to preserve an account of the sums contributed by the different classes of the people. As to the returns to, be made for the future, they would be made so as to keep the names of persons out of sight, by making the returns by numbers instead of names. "Mr. Brougham expressed his satisfaction at the arrangement, particularly as to future returns ; and adMitted the propriety of keeping an account of the different classes of persons who paid; but he ex pressed his doubt as to the mode of erasure. He thought burning the papeh would be much better, and there was a public officer, not in very great esti mation, whose assistance for this purpose might be very advantageously called in."—(A laugh.) THE TORY 'INCOME TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l enclose copies of two petitions agreed to at a Leetinp r ., held at the Guildhall yesterday, over which the Mayor presided. The petition to the Lords was proposed by Captain Money, a Magistrate, and seconded by Henry Willett, a Magistrate ; that to the Queen was proposed by Joseph Gerdart, Esq., and seconded by J. H. Gurney, Esq., banker ; and both were agreed to unanimously, and have already received a great number of signatures. Norwich, March 23, 1842. N. " TO HER HOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " We, the dutiful and loyal subjects of your Majesty, the undersigned bankers, merchants, traders, and other inhabitants of the city of Norwich, beg leave humbly and respectfully to represent to your Majesty, that we have heard with great apprehension and regret that a tax is about to be revived on the income arising from trades and professions, and which we humbly beg leave to state is, in the:opinion of your petitioners, most un just in principle, and will be found to be most oppressive in its operation. "That such a tax is considered by your petitioners as only justifiable as a last resource in a , period of extreme danger and distress, and that there is nothing in the present state of the nation which either requires or justifies its imposition, and they believe that if enforced, it will be attended with the worst consequences to the trade, agriculture, and manufactures of the kingdom. " That many also of your petitioners have too much reason to remember the great oppression and hardship which attended the collection of such a tax on a former occasion—the sufferings which from its compulsory pay ment it entailed on the middle classes of the community, and the consequences which followed the unavoidable exposure of the affairs of individuals repulsive to every sentiment of prop.' ety and good feeling, and which your petitioners most ht-rbly beg leave to state was utterly contrary to the princiPles of constitutional freedom, and the just rights and privileges of Englishmen. " They, therefore, humbly and earnestly pray your Majesty not to give your Royal sanction to the imposi tion upon your people of any tax upon income. " And your petitioners will ever pray." " To the Right Hon. the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament ar.embled;— " The humble Petition of the undersigned Bankers, Mer chants, Traders, and other Inhabitants of the City of Norwich. " We, your petitioners, respectfully beg to call your Lordships most serious attention to the Bill now in pro gress to raise the supplies by imposing a tax upon income. " It appears to your petitioners that a tax so oppres sive, and so inquisitorial in its operation, ought never to be resorted to in a free, and more particularly in a com mercial country, except upon the most urgent necessity, when every other source has failed to supply the defi ciency of the revenue. This, we submit, is not applica ble to the present state of the country, no such necessity having been shown to justit'y the imposing so vexatious a burden upon the people, even if the necessities of the. State required such a stringent measure as a property tax, and your Lordships should enter tain that opinion. Your petitioners urge to your Lordships in the most decided manner that the pro jected obnoxious measure of an income tax, if passed into a law, would inflict the deepest injury on the industry of those engaged in trade and commerce, and from the in quisitorial process adopted in levying it, would cause a most injurious exposure of the affairs of individuals, de stroy that confidence which is so essential to the pros perity of trade, and surround our commercial transactions with an intricate web of espionage, disgraceful to a Government based on constitutional principles. "We further beg to state, that to class mere income, more especially that derived from industry and applica tion, with that which arises from real property, whether in land or money, would, in the opinion of your peti tioners, be an act of the most wanton injustice ; the former being subject to vicissitudes and losses which the utmost care and circumspection can neither foresee nor prevent, whilst the latter is based upon a solid and sub stantial foundation. "For these reasons we most respectfully intreat your Lordships to reject any Bill by which the trade and com merce of the country would be so deeply injured, which it must inevitably be if so unjust and inquisit or i a l a men into , sure should pass a law." "-And your petitioners will ever pray." SOLICITORS AND THE INCOME TAX. The proposal of an income tax bids fair to rouse up the solicitors in the metropolis and the country to an organised effort to be freed from an oppressive impost that has long been impatiently submitted to. In addi tion to the hea v y stamp duty paid by solicitor s , a nd th e serious outlay req u i re d in their education, a duty is annually paid by them in the shape of practising certi ficete duty, amounting to 121. in London, and 8/. in the country. This tax has existed for years, and though the . other professions are exempt from any such impost, and its injustice has been frequently exposed, yet no movement of the profession en masse has been made against it. The proposed income tax has again called attention to the subject ; and will give rise, it is be lieved, to a general demand of exemption from this most unjust exaction. Petitions are expected to be fi,rwarded from all quarters, so framed, of course, as not to touch on the policy of the proposed Government measure.

Resolved,—That this meeting is of opinion that, before the imposition of a tax of the above nature, every other source of revenue ought to have been previously ex hausted ; and so long as the real property of the country, passing by descent entail or by will, has not yet been called upon to contribute to the exigencies of . the State ; and in the absence of a liberal commercial policy affecting timber, sugar, and corn, it is highly unjust and impolitic to add to the burdens of a class already overburdened by the operation of partial and unjust laws. That the above resolutions be sent to the Members for the borough, requesting them to use every means to prevent the income tax from passing into a law. Bradford, March 23. 1842. FUNERAL OF THE LATE H. HOWARD, ESQ. The remains of this venerable gentleman were interred in the family vault at Wetheral, on Tuesday last. Incompliance with the directions of the deceased, the invitations to the funeral did not extend beyond the tenantry upon the estate, and the gentlemen who were to act as pall bearers; but it being generally understood that the family of the deceased would look upon the voluntary attendance of others as a mark of respect to his memory, great numbers of persons from Car lisle, and th e ne i g hb our h ood, proceeded to Corby by the early train. The Corporation of Carlisle met in the Town Hall a little after nine o'clock, and it was resolved that the Council should attend the funeral of the late Mr. Howard, as a mark of she respect and veneration in which he was held by that body. A room in the Castle, adjoining the noble library, bad been fitted up as a temporary Mortuary Chapel, and here die body of the deceased, enclosed in a very handsome coffin, was placed. In this place, on Monday, the impressive funeral service, ac cording to the ritual of the Catholic Church, was performed with great solemnity. The Rev. W. Ryan, of St. Mary's, Warwick Bridge, officiated; and was assisted by the Rev. Joseph Marshall, of Carlisle, the Rev. G. Leo Haydock, of Penrith; the Rev. E. Kelly, of Wigton; and the Rev. Josepb Cullen. The coffin was covered with black velvet, and had largo massive silver hand.es. At the head was a cross in silver tissue and beneath it a shield, bearing, the following inscription " Henry Howard, of Corby Castle, born 2d day of July, 17,57 , died Ist day o f March, 1:342 = ." Below the shield w as a olio gram, comp ose d o f the Greek characters X and P interwoven, being the two first letters in the name of Christ, with the Setters Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end) at the sides of it. This was a device in frequent use among the early - Chris. tians, intended as a symbol of the Christiana hope in the re demption through Christ. At the foot of the coffin were the initial letters of the words " Requiescat iaa pace.' A little before twelve o'clock the mournful procession started from the Castle. The coffin was placed in a hearse, drawn by four black horses. Ti le c hi e f mourners were P. H. Howard, Esq., M.P. (eldest son of the deceased), the Hen. Philip Stourton, the Hon. Frederick Petre (son of Lord Petre, and grandson of the deceased, his father being unable to at tend in consequence of illness), and Henry Petre, Esq., o Dunkenhalgh, Lancashire. About thirteen carriages followed the hearse, and a great number of the tenantry, wearing black hatbands and gloves. on horseback and on foot, formed in the procession, which con sisted of several hundrad persons. The proesssion passed through the grounds, and along the road by Warwick Bridge to Wetheral. At almost every turn of the road, groups of peo ple were gathered to witness the funeral, and many an eye was dimmed with tears at seeing the remains of the good old man. carried to their last resting-place. The funeral service was read by the Rev. E. Stanger, the venerable incumbent of the parish, who appeared deeply affec-- ted by the performance of the last sad office over the remains of one with whom he had so long been in habits of friendship. The little church was crowded with spectators. end the solemn. service was listened to with breathless attention. At the conclusion of the service the coffin was lowered into the vault. And thus has the tomb closed upon one full of years, and who had earned for himse.f the love and ver,eratioa of all with whom ha had ever conic in contact—whose life has been as blameless at his end has been happy—dying in peace with all men. We understand that a dirge and solemn High Sias:, for the dead way celebrated tat Thursday, the 10th, at tit:, Batari.ga chapel, Warwick-street, the chapel Mr. Howard attended when in London. ME *TOR! 4L TO E. T. BAIT. BRIDGE, ESQ. A numerous meeting of of the electors and other inhabitants of Taunton was held on Monday, for the purpose of raisiitg a fund for presenting to their late representative a mere.orial of their respect and gratitude for his long services, and faithful and o his duties in the H ouse of Com mons,attentive kindn ess t o t h e i n h abitants, m,his independent fonn discharge and o!' and his thoroughly honourable conduct throughout hie long connexion with the borough." Not the least gratifying feature of this dcroon.stration, is the, fact that it was begun by the pcorer classes. It will, of course. be gladly adopted by all who value independence and uprightness in public men. The resolutions go to limit she subscription of each individual to five shillings as the highest sum ; but the wealthier classes may show their liberality by enabling the very children ti the poor to place their names upon the list of subscribers which will accompany the gift, and which will be accounted by Mr. Bainbridge, the most valued and treasured portion of it. Mr. Bainbridge does, indeed, deserve the warmest tribute of gratitude which constituents can offer. On no siagle occasion during so many years of hard service, did he fail faithfully t o di sc h arge hi s duty. Scarcely has he recorded one vote which did not meet the approval of those he represented. He never sacrifie,:ed prin ciple to party. He neier cones ded a conscientious glinion to a short-sighted expediency. And in his private relations with the town, he was distineuished for a kindness, charity,_ and courtesy, as rare as they are delightful. The circumstances attending his retirement were of a piece with his previous career. Seldom has a more generous sacrifice been made by an individual for the welfar e of his principits. Previously to the general election it had been Air. Bain bridge's intention to retire into private life. He sent his resignation to his friends, but there was not time before the dissolution to make the necessary arrangement s for procuring another candidate. It was represented to him that the con sequence would be the triumph of Toryism in the Borough, which had been so long the champion of the cause of the many against the oppression of the few, and he consented, rather than the cause should suffer, to tight the battle, at the same time declaring, that as soots as he had seen that cause safe, he should resign. He led the glorious cause of the country against the forces of Oligarchy and M onopo l y, and triumphed, an d th en , w ith almost Roman heroism, he put his resigna tion in the hands of his friends, requesting them to use it when they could do so with great advantage to the cause for which he had fought so manfully. The result is known to the world.-... Somerset Gazette. LL - OY - 13'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. Arrivals—Bailey.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. None of the Derby} favourites were in force yesterday afternoon, nor was the general betting by any means so brisk as on Monday. 8 to 1 was laid to about 3001. against Attila, and from the feeling displayed in various quarters, a further decline seems highly probable. Neither Auckland nor Chatham were in favour, the odds quoted against each having been offered currently, Ballinkeele had a formidable enemy, notwthstanding it was stated that his arrival in Oxford-street may be hourly expected. In fact, the only movement upward worth alluding to, was in The Lord of liolderness, whose friends were so fond that the last offers to lay did not exceed 20 to 1.
