The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age when Date ot Policy. Policy. was issued. Sims Assured, Origimil Premium . k.)

" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided preference to every other kind of Lens —the clearness of the transparency . brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par ticle with perfect accuracy.

In placing the above list of Testimonials before the public, the Messrs.

Mr. M. PHILIPS presented a petition from three individuals residing in Manchester, stating how they had suffered as sharehofders of the Imperial Bank of England Company, and praying that a clause might be inserted in the Banking Bill, now before the House, to prevent Shareholders of Joint Stock Banks from being called upon for extra payments. HOLYWELL ROAD BILL. This Bill was read a second time. Mr. 0.

NAPIER presented a petition in favour of the Portuguese COLONIAL PASSENGERS' BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the order of the day for going into Committee on this Bill, for the purpose of postponing it, was read. The Noble Lord observed, that his object in so moving was to postpone the consideration of the Bill to Wednesday next, in the hope that, by that time, he would be able to go into Committee, pro forma, for the purpose of malting various alterations and amendments at the suggestion of parties interested in the matter. As emigrants would be materially affected by the passing of this Bill, it might be convenient for him to state now that he did not propose to carry the Bill so as to affect emigration in the present spring. He meant to insvrt a clause to provide that the =measure should not come into operation preViona to the Ist of June next, , Mr. H AWES said, if he understood the Noble Lord, the Secretary fir did Colonies, he Meant to-go . into Com-' mittee pro' foraira. on Monday. Of course the, Noble - Lord would give notice at a future day of when he meant to go really into Committee. Lord STANLEY said that several parties must neces- ' sarily be consulted with regard to the proposed altera tions and amendments in the Bill, and therefore it was that he meant to go into Committee, pro forma, on Monday. Of course he would give ample notice of the several clauses and amendments to be introduced in Committee on the Bill. Sir ROBERT PEEL appeared at the bar and presented papers by her Majesty's command. WEST INDIA. BISHOPRICS. Sir CHARLES NAPIER asked the Noble Lord, the. Secretary for the , . Colonies, when he would proceed with his Bill - respecting the Bishoprics of the West Indies ? Lord STANLEY said that not being aware of any other objection to the measure than that stated by the Gallant Commodore, he would proceed with the Bill ac cording to the intention he (the Noble Lord) had al ready stated. BURDENS ON LAND. Mr. WARD gave notice that on Monday next, on the motion that the speaker do leave the Chair, preparatory to the House going into Committee,. he (Mr. W.) would move, that it is inexpedient that any duty be levied, on foreign corn until the House has made inquiry into the special burdens borne by the landed interest, and also into the special exemptions they enjoyed.—(Cheers.) EGYPT. Dr. BOWRING postponed, until Thursday next, his motion respecting the navigation of the interior waters of Egypt ; and also his motion for the returns of the taxes and other burdens levied on the land in foreign countries. VICTORIA PARK. The Ear/ of LINCOLN gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the enclosure of a piece of mud, to be called Victoria Park. gro THE ROYAL NAVY.

The Van Diemen's Land Bill was brought up from the House of Lords, and the Speaker informed the House that the Bill had passed their Lordships' House without any amendment. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. Sir G. CLERK having moved that the seat for the borough of Southampton, should be declared unseated, in consequence of the elevation of Lord Bruce, the late Member, to the Peerage, on the demise of his father, the late Earl of Elgin, Mr. C. WYNN said that he had no doubt as to the - substance of the motion ; but he thought it right that the House should have some authentic or efficient infor mation of the death of the Earl of Elgin and of the ele vation of Lord Bruce to the Peerage, Lord STANLEY said, he thought he could give his Right Hon. Friend the official information which he de sired, inasmuch as there had been an Order of Council passed that day, directing him . to prepare a warrant of instructions for Lord Bruce. After a few words from MI% 0. W. WOOD, which were inaudible, Sir 0. GREY said he thought the House should be cautious not to establish a precedent which might lead to inconvenient results. Mr. C. BRUCE said he had certified to the fact which was then the subject of discussion , having attended the funeral of the late Earl of Elgin.—(Hear, hear.) THE LATE INTELLIGENCE FROM INDIA. Mr. S. WORTLEY begged to put a question to the Right Honourable Baronet upon a subject to which it was impossible to allude without pain, and of such importance that he believed it wou ld account for the question he was about to ask. The subject to which he alluded, was the late melancholy disasters they had met with in the west of India. Intelligence had been received in. this country from Cabool, stating, that the garrison of the place were in circum stances of the most imminent danger. Reports had reached this . . country lately, that those circum stances had been &Mowed by others still more alarm ing—that the gai!rison of Cabool had been ut terly destroyed, Ind that the troops in Candahar had been cut off fr om all communication on that side, and that steps we - ,:p also to ken against Jellalabad. What he wished to (,btain fron the Right lion. Baronet, India, was dated Calcutta, Jan. 22, giving only an ac count of the scandalous and perfidious act by which Sir Wm. M‘Naghten had lost his life. No account subsequent to the despatch of Feb. 1, from Bombay, had been ,received. Another account, not of an official nature, but of the correctness of which there could be little doubt, had been received in a letter from Dr. Reid, dated Peshwaar, 16th of January, and ad dressed to Captain Macgregor, by which it appeared that , little doubt c ou ld be entertained that her Majesty's 'troops had suffered several reverses. A capitulation, as far as it could be judged from the ac counts, appeared to be signed with the Affghan forces, and by an act, as it would appear, speaking, as he said before from information not strictly official, but from accounts of which the credibility could hardly be ques tiohed—by an act marked with a perfidy and treachery almost as gross as that by which Sir W. M•Naghten lost his life, the English troops were attacked three days afterwards, and had certainly sustained great loss ; but he trusted that there was nothing in the ac counts that had been received that ought to create despondency.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") " Her Majesty's Government," said Sir Robert, " will take every measure that it may be advisable to take to repair this partial disaster.---(Hear.) Under the cir cumstances, I have no doubt but. Parliament will give , her Majesty's Government its confidence and support—(Hear, hear)--•-whatever may be the demand which we . shall feel it our duty to make— (Hear, hear)—in order to repair the disaster that has occurred, and to satisfy the public in this country, in India, and throughout the world, that we are determined to spare no sacrifice in order to maintain our Indian empre.—(Cheers.) Sir J. C. HOi3HOUSE said in the whole course of his life he had never been so much gra tified as by the statement just made by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He had no doubt but that the Queen's Government would do its duty, and the assu rance, just made must tranquillise all those unnecessary alarms which had before existed, and for which there would not now be a pretence for existing in the mind of any right thinking man. The Right Honourable Gen tleman was right in saying that this House would stand s by her Majesty's Government on this occasion. So far from party feeling prevailing, the House would see that it had nothing to do but to exert itself to the utmost to repair the Aisasters that had occurred, but which dis • aster, he, at the time, thought had been much exagge rated.—(Hear, Hear.) AfARYLEBONE VESTRY. Sir B. HALL asked several questions relating to the Marylebone Vestry Bill, but from the impatience of the House, the greater part of what fell from the Right Hon. Gentleman was inaudible. We understood him to ask whether it was the intention of the proinoters of the Bill to carry it on so as to repeal a Public Act by a Private Bill, and whether the Poor-law Commissioners had re ported a certain clause which had been submitted to them. Colonel THOMAS WOOD said he would rather answer the questions on Monday. FIN AN C lAL ST ATE MEN:T. The Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Ways and Means having been read, and the Speaker having left the Chair, Sir ROBERT PEEL rose, and addressed the House as follows :—Sir,—As the House has consented to vote those estimates which her Majesty's Government have considered it their duty to propose for the chief military establishments of the country, I rise for the purpose of redeeming the pledge which I gave, that I would avail myself of the earliest possible opportunity, consist ently with Parliamentary usage and public interest, to develop the views of her Majesty's Government in reference to the financial and commercial policy of the country. Sir, no man can feel more deeply than Ido the magnitude and extent of the duties which thus have devolved upon me. No man can feel more conscientiously than I do how disproportionate are my intellectual powers to the proper performance of that duty. But I should be unworthy of the trust committed to my charge, I should be unfit to stand in this place, where so many Ministers of the British Crown have stood, if I felt in the least disheartened or discouraged—if I abated anything of that composure and contentedness of mind ; nay, if I did not feel the buoyancy and alacrity of spirit which ought to sustain every public man who endeavours fully and faithfully to discharge a great public duty--(ltears, hear)—who feels conscious that he is actuated by no motives that are not honourable and, worthy-,--(Loud cheers)—and who feels a deep and intimate. conviction that he is acting accord ing to the best conclusions that, in his weak and fallible judgment he could come to—(Hear) — and that that which he was about to do was conducive to the welfare—l might say, essential to the welfare, of thousands.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, lam free from some of the embarrassments with which financial state ments are usually attended. It is sometimes necessary to maintain great reserve—to speak with great caution. A due regard to public interest may impose upon you the duty of making partial disclosures on important matters, but I am hampered by no such difficulty. I am going to lay before you the truth, the unexaggerated truth ; and I do this because I think that in great finan cial difficulties the first step towards improvement is to look them boldly in the face.—(Hear, hear.) What is true of individuals, is true of nations.—(Hear, hear, hear.) There is no hope of improvement or recovery if once you consent to conceal from yourself the real difficulties with which you have to contend. Sir, I have another motive for making a ful and unreserved disclosure. It is my intention, on . the part of her Majesty's Government, to undertake the re sponsibility of proposing that which we think essential to the country. With you will rest the responsibility of adopting or rejecting the measures which we propose ; and it is therefore fitting, in order that you may be able to discharge that duty, that you should have before you every information—every element which is necessary to enable you to form a full and impartial judgment. Sir, I have two requests to make to the House. The first is, that you will bear in mind that from the period when I bring forward this statement I am left under comparative disadvantages.—(llear.) I speak particularly with reference to the estimates which I have formed from the probable revenue of the country. I have deemed it my duty not to delay the voting of the supplies until the financial accounts of the year shall be closed. If, after my estimates have been formed, with every desire that they should be just and accurate, I should prove to be mistaken, I trust the House will bear in mind that I . labour under disadvantages with which others have not had to contend. The other request I have to chin to the House is, that you will have the goodness to postpone your judgment until I have laid before you my whole plan, and that you will not judge hastily by a partial development of my views, nor denounce me as pro posing something unreasonable and insulting to the people. I earnestly hope that every man giving to the conside ration of this question a full sense of* the real, but not insuperable difficulties, will postpone his judgment until he has before him the whole of the plans of the Govern ment.—(Hear, hear.) I shall now proceed, Sir, in the ordinary manner, to state the facts with respect to the finances and expenditure of the country, and I will, in the first instance, refer to the esti mate which was formed by the the Right Hon. Gentleman, the late Cbancellor of the Exchequer with respect to the probable revenue and expenditure of the country, on the sth of April, 1841. Events have proved that that Right Hon. Gentleman's estimate was as nearly correct as it is possible for an estimate to be.—(Hear, hear.) I think the Right Hon. Gentleman calculated that the income of the country might be expected to realise the sum of 48,310,0001. He Calculated the expenditure for the same period, that is, for the year ending the sth of April, 1842, at 50,731,0001. There were some slight variations in the votes which, of course, the Right Hon. Gentleman could not foresee at the time when he was speaking. There was, I think, a vote for the Or dinance estimates, which was made in the first session of the present Parliament, and another for the Caledo nian Canal, which were omitted in his calculation, but the amount was so small, that it was hardly worth mentioning. The amount of deficit was 2,467,000/. Of course it is impossible to say now whether the Right Hon. Gentleman's estimate were perfectly acccurate or not, because the proportion for one quarter is not given. The actual produce, however, of the Revenue, from the sth April, 1841, to the 26th of February, 1842 • wa s 43,730,000/. If you estimate that the receipt on the sth - of April to 48,053,0001., being - less than the amount estimated by the Right Honourable Gentleman by 160,000/. On the other hand, the expenditure will not probably be so great as he es timated. The actual amount of deficit may pro bably be taken at 2,324,0001. As I said before, however, I speak to the estimates independent of the last quarter. lam giving the best estimate which I can form. - I now proceed to estimate the income for the year ending the sth of April, 1843. The Customs for the ensuing year I estimate at 22,500,000/. The Excise, on account of the unfavour able season for malting, I calculate at 13,450,000/. Of course as a favourable harvest has a tendency to increase the excise revenue, it also has a . ten dency to diminish the amount of revenue from the im portation of foreign corn. On the other hand, if there be an unfavourable harvest, and your Ex cise revenue is in consequence diminished in amount then there • iii some compensation to be expected from the revenue which is derived from the im port of foreign corn. I shall then take the Customs for the year, ending the sth of April, 1843, at 22,500,0001. ; Excise, 13,450,000/. ; Stamps, 9,100,000/.; Post-office, 500,0001. ; Crown Lands, 150,0001. ; Miscellaneous items - of revenue 250,0001. - , making a total estimated revenue for the year ending the sth April, 1843, of 48,350,000/.—(Hear.) The ex penditure, now that the House has sanctioned the votes for the Army and Navy, can be estimated with greater accuracy.' The interest on the debt will be 24,627,0001.; terminable annuities, 4,076,000/. ; interest on Exchequer bills 722,0001., making the total charge on account of the debt 29,427,000/. The charges on the Consolidated Fund, including the Civil List, I take at 390,000/. The items under this head are so numerous that, I suppose, the House will net require me to go through them all. I shall then take the whole of them at 2,368,000/., making a total charge .on the Consolidated Fund of 31,795,000/. The votes for the Army if ultimately sanctioned, will not amount to a higher sum than 6,617,0001.; Navy, 6,639,0001.; Ord nance, 2,084,0001. ; Miscellanies chargeable upon the annual grant of Parliament, 2,800,000/. ; the vote for Canada, including clothing for volunteers, and other particulars, 108,0001 It was formerly under stood that a corresponding amount would be expended on fortifications in that country. The expenditure for China I take at 675,0001. for the present year. The vote for China consists of two parts-175,0001 to defray the arrears of expenditure for the present year ; the other vote is 500,000/., to meet the charges which are necessary to provide for the actual expense during the year end ing the sth of April, 1843. The total amount of the esti mated expenses of the country will thus be 50,819,000/. The general expenditure of the country, for the year ending the sth April, 1843, I take to be 50,819,0001.; the income at 48,350,0001. ; the probable deficiency 2,569,0001. ; but this deficiency is on the vote for the year, and the expenditure which it will be neces sary to provide within the year. To that deficiency ought to be added the actual charge which may be incurred on,gccount of Chinese hostilities. I do not contemplate ffhy necessity to provide within the year for more than 500,000/ ; but he would form a very inadequate estimate, indeed, of the probable cost of the expedition, who should think that the whole expense would be limited to 500,000/—(Hear.) Sir, the expense of our expedition to China stands thus :—The arrears of sums due to the East India Company, to April3o, 1841, amounted to 708,0001 A grant was _ made in the session of 1840 of 172,000/. ; this left the arrears of former years to be provided for in 1841, 535,0001., the estimate of the expenditure to the Ist April, 1842, was 658,000/., making the total charge to April, 1842, nearly 1,200,0001., or exactly 1,119,000/. There is to be applied to that charge a grant of Parlia ment in the Session of 1841, amounting to 400,0001., and there was also applied in India money out of the ransom of Canton amounting to 618,000/. You therefore have to settle for the cost of 1841 thus :—To be entered against the charge of 1,197,000/. a set-off of actual payment of the amount of 1,083,0001., and the arrears now amount to 175,000/. Looking to the extent of the preparations which have been made for the continuance, I trust for the com pletion, of the Chinese war, I think you can not safely estimate the cost for the year ending sth April, 1843, at much less than 1,400,0001., or 1,500,000/. We make provision in the present year for 500,000/., but let us take cost at 1,300,000/. which is the lowest at which it can be fairly taken, there will be a deficiency some time or other to be provided for of not less than 800,0001. Therefore to my estimated defici ency on the vote of 2,570,000/., you must not lose sight of a probable demandof 700,000/. or 800,000/. more. There may be votes in addition to these—there may be votes on account of Australia and other Colonies which are not included in the sums I have already stated. I. do not take into account a charge which it will not probably be necessary for us to incur ; it is not exactly a charge, but there are engagements into which it is necessary we should 4 enter in aid of the credit., of Canada for a loan to that colony of 1,500,000/. But that, I apprehend, will be independent of any actual charge, and the grant will merely be passed on the part of this country in aid of the credit of Canada ; at the same time it is fitting that the whole state of our financial affairs should be fairly brought before the House. Now, in addition to all this, those facts of which we have recently become cognizant which had taken place in Affghanistan,:may, as far as I can form a judgment, impose upon her Majesty's Government the necessity of calling upon Par liament to sanction perhaps a considerable increase to the Army Estimates for the present year. I do not think it advisable that we should come to any hasty decision upon that subject in the absence of offi cial information ; but I have already received deci sive proofs that this House, the representative of a great people, will be ready to make every effort which can be shown to be necessary for the purpose of repairing occasional or partial disasters, and vindi !abating the authority of her Majesty in India.—(Loud cheers.) Bear in mind, that in addition to any estimate of an actual deficiency of 2,570,000/., in addi tion to my estimate of the deficiency which must some time or another be provided for on account of the possible and probable expenses in China, you must add that proba ble demand which I may have to make for an increase of the military or naval establishments of this country, in consequence of the state of her affairs in India. Sir, for the purpose, as I said before, of bringing before the House a full and complete view of our financial position, I feel it my duty to refer to a subject which has of late occupied little of the attention of the House, bit which, I think, might with great advan tage, have attracted more of their consi deration. I refer to the state of our Indian finance, a subject which, in former days, used to be thought not unworthy of the consideration of Parlia ment. Sir, lam quite aware that there may appear to be no direct and immediate connection between the finances of India and the finances of this country ; but that would be a superficial view of the state of our relations with India. Depend upon it, if the credit of India should be come disordered—if some great desertion should be come necessary on the part of the Indian Government —then the credit of England must be brought to suffer, and the collateral and indirect effect of disorder in Indian finances would be instantly felt in this country., I am sorry to say that the Indian finances offer no favourable prospects at the present moment for the state of the financies of this country. I believe that the Indian accounts are made up one month later than the accounts in this country. With regard to the account, I have every reason to look on it as a correct account of the position of the re ♦enue of India. In this account there is an estimate of the gross revenns of India. It gives an account of the gross revenue in India, the charg es paid, and there are two columns containing an account of the surplus. In the year ending May, 1536, there was a surplus amounting to 1,550,000/. In the year ending sth April 1837 there was a surplus of 1,100,000/. On the sth of April, 1858, it was reduced to 650,0001. On the sth of April, 1839, there was a surplus of 280,0001., and on the sth April, 1840, so far from there being any surplus, there was a defici ency of 2,414,000/. And if I calculate at the same rate, I fear that the deficiency for May, 1841, will not be much less than 2,320,000/. The House will bear in mini that, in fulfilment of the duty which I have undertaken, I was obliged to present to it a deficiency in this country for the current year, to the amount of 2,350,000/., with a certain prospect of a deficiency for the next year, to the amount of 2,570,0001. So that independantly of the decrease in our Indian empire, there will be a deficiency of no less than 4,700,0001. Sir, this is the ac count of the deficiency which we have to make up. I am peaking now of this country exclusively. But how is that deficiency to be supplied ? (Hear, hear.) We cannot escape the consideration of this question— (Hear, hear)—end it is our duty, no doubt, before any proposition shall be made, to consider and exhaust the modes by which such a deficiency can be supplied. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Shall w e persevere in the system on which we have acted for the last twenty-five years.—(Hear, hear.) Shall we, in time of peace, continue to resort to loans ? Shall we try an issue of Exchequer bills ? Shall we resort 1 to the savings' banks ? to any of those expedients which, call them by what name you will, ate neither more nor less tMhl a permanent addition to the knowledge of the truth is the first step to improve ment—(Loud cheers)—and because I have that confidence in the resources of the country, and in the wisdom and energy of Parliament, that I will not use the miserable subterfuge of withhold ing any knowledge of the financial condition of the country. With these proofs before you, that this is not an occasionalsand casual deficiency, will you have re oourse to thentherable system ofcontinued loans ? I cannot suppose it, and it would be impossible for me to be party to a proceeding which may be justifiable before we can ascertain the proportion between our revenue and our expenditure ; but, with these facts before my eyes, I should think I was disgracing the situation which I hold if I were to have recourse to that system.—(Hear, hear.) I can hardly think that Parliament will adopt a different conclusion ; I &an hardly think that you, who inherit the debt contracted by your predecessors, when they reduced the charge of the Post-office, and inserted in the preamble of the Bill a pledge that the loss should be made good by Parlia ment, will consent to it That pledge is still unre deemed; no efforts have been made to redeem it. I ad vised you not to give that pledge. But if you regard that pledge of your predecessors, it is now for you to choose. If you are not bound by the pledge of your predecessors, ,you are bound by the engagements you have entered into and contracted for.—(Hear.) Almost the first vote you gave after the election of the present Parliament, was the adoption of a resolution that it was impossible to permit that state of things to continue which is at pre sent in existence, viz., a deficit of the revenue. Parliament assures the Crown thaei it will without delay apply it self to the consideration of finance, and adopt some measure for the purpose of equalizing the revenue, with the expenditure of the country. I apprehend that I may throw out of view at once the thought of supply ing the deficiency by the miserable device of fresh loans. Shall I think of having resort for the purpose of raising the revenue to the expenditure—shall I think, for the purpose of doing that—of levying taxation upon the ar ticles of consumption; upon those articles which may appear to some superfluous, but which are known to constitute almost the necessaries of life? I cannot consent to any prOposal of increasing taxation on the great articles of consumption by the labouring classes. (Loud cheering from the Op position.) I say, moreover, that I give you conclusive proof that you have arrived at the limits of taxation.— (Great cheering.) I am speaking of articles of luxury, which might be supposed not to constitute the consump tion of the labouring classes, I advise you not to attempt taxation on those articles, because depend upon it, if you do, you will be defeated. The Right Honourable Gentleman opposite in attempting to redeem the pledge he had given to Parliament to repair the deficiency caused by the defalcation at the Post-office, he proposed in the year 1840 that a 5 per cent. duty should be laid on the Customs and Excise, and 10 per cent, additional on the assessed taxes. I am much obliged to the House for the patience with which they hear me.—(Hear, hear.) The net produce of the Customs and Excise for the year ending sth January, 1840, was 37,911,0001. I wish to carry the judgment of the House with me, because I am now ex hausting the different means by which we have hitherto obtained supplies by increase of taxation. The estimated increase of the Customs and Excise, in consequence of the additional 5 per cent., was 1,895,0001. for the year ending January sth, 1841. Now, for the purposes of comparison, I think it better to take the year ending January 5, 1840, and the year ending January 5, 1842, than the years 1840 and 1841. Now, according to the estimate of the Right Honourable Gentle man, the year ending January 5, 1842 ought to have produced 39,840,000, if the addition of the Five per Cent. duty had answered his calculation; but instead of 39,840,000/., the actual revenue received amounted only to 38,118,0001., showing instead of an actual increase 0f1,895,000/.. an increase only of 260,000/., being not an increase of 5 per cent., which it ought to have been according to the additional duty imposed, but an increase of only a little more than a half per cent. realised by the attempt to raise the revenue five per cent.—(Hear, hear, hear.) No doubt during that time trade has been depressed, and there may have been circumstances sufficient to explain why some of the expectations of the Right Hon. Gentleman have not been realized, but making every allowance that can be made, it is impossible not to see that an increase of 5 per cent. on the Customs and Excise, will not pro duce an increase of 5 per cent. in the amount of revenue On the other hand, the Right Hon. Gentleman's esti mates respecting the increase in the Assessed Taxes have been fully verified. I must admit that the full time has not elapsed for giving notices for the discontinuance of the use of certain articles liable to the assessed taxes, but I think we may disregard that in our calcula tions. I do not think it probable that many of those notices will be given, and making every allowance for any diminution in consequence of such notices, I think we• may be justified in saying that the Right Hon. Gentleman's estimates, as regards the assessed taxes, have been fully borne out. The amount of assessed tales for the year ending sth January, 1840, was 2,758,000 L, to which, if we add 10 per cent. on that amount, 275,0001., we shall have 3;334,000/. as the esti mated produce of the Assessed Taxes. Now the actual produce of the assessed taxes, including the additional 10 per cent. for the year eliding the sth of January, 1842, was, instead of 3,342,000/., a sum amounting to no less than 3,500,000/.; and that 3,500,0001. has been realised on the assessed taxes, where the Right Honourable Gentleman only calculated on 3,334,0001.—(Hear, and Cheers.) I know I shall be told that I must make an abatement on account of a new survey of windows, but when I find that a sum of 430,0001. has been realised beyond the 10 per cent. as regards the assessed taxes. I think I am justified in stating that the estimates of the Right Hon. Gentleman have been fully verified. The increase in Assessed Taxes, amount ing to 11 + per cent., instead of 10 per cent. as calculated by the Right Hon. Gentleman. I compare these two results of the failure of increased taxation on articles of consumption, and of the complete verification of the estimated increase in the assessed taxes—taxes somewhat analogous in their nature to a tax upon property (Cheers)— in order that the House may perceive the different results arising from these two different modes of taxation, But, Sir, my immediate object was to adduce a proof that you had arrived, for purposes of revenue, at the minimum of taxation.—(Hear, hear.) I think no man can resist the conclusion which I draw, that to lay any taxation on Customs and Excise will end in nothing bet failure and disappointment. Well, then, I have now discarded the notion of supplying the deficiency by incurring fresh taxes on articles of consumption.—(Hear, hear.) I have at tempted to carry your conviction with me that I cannot lay taxation on articles of consumption.—(Hear.) Shall I resort to another plan Shall I revive old taxes that have been abolished ? Shall I take the Post-office? f —( or ll t e h a e r, d l i i s e c a h r a , rge and o fa this important po l rta tl: t ink tbt i ls t necessary iness that you should adhere to the contract which you entered into, and that you should suspend your judgment for a short time. I must deal with each of these questions step by step, and what I ask is, that you will not con demn any individual proposition, until you can judge of them as a whole.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I never doubted the social advantages of the reduction of duty in the Post-office. Thinking the duty as it existed, was too high, and that it might clearly admit of re-consideration and reduction,_ still I think that in the then state of the taxes the reduction to Id. on all letters was too low ; and I do believe, if necessary, that I could show that from the post-office revenue you don't receive one single farthing.--(Hear). If you add the charge of the packets to the other charges of the Post office, the account which will be presented will show a deficit.—(Hear, hear.) But when I state that Ido not undervalue the importance of this reduction in a moral and social point of view, I will not say—speaking with that caution with which I am sometimes taunted— (Hear, and laughter)—l will not say that the Post-office esta blishment should be a source of loss to the coun try. I will not say that that might not be de sirable, but I will say this, that I do not think that the measure would be complete al though I am sensible of the many advan tages which would otherwise result from it. I say again, notwithstanding all the taunts to which I have been exposed during the last month, in conse quence of my proposal, in respect to the Corn-laws, that this is my opinion ; and this I will say, that no man can feel a more intimate conviction than I do, that whatever are the financial difficulties in which we are placed, you must so adapt this measure that you will not bear upon the comforts of the labouring classes of thd country.—(Cheers.) I think that it would not be expedient with reference to the interest of property that that should be done. Well, then, Sir, I must, with my sense of public duty, abandon the idea of realizing any revenue from the Post-office.—(Hear, hear.) What shall Ido then ? Shall I revive the duties upon other commodities ? Shall I revive the taxes upon salt ? for instance. Shall I revive the duty upon leather ? or shall I revive the duty upon wool ? Ido not know that with respect to some of tho , s , , ,', articles, with respect to the reduction erre leather, that the benefit of that reduction was conr entirely upon the consumer. I believe that you have um, omitted to adopt another reduction which re7uction of been a benefit to the consumer, namely, duty upon foreign hides. But, Sir, the but the ques whether we should reduce existing dutzl,eh i have been is whether we should revive is " w e, faich, as they at pre sent(vcstshtion is not now abolished, and upon the faith ts stand, various coli c , hear.)
